CATHERINE ARRANT MURCHISON, L. I. Camden, S. C. Kratian Literary Society “Wit and humor covered a multitude of sins.’’ Catherine has won her way into the heart of every girl by her jolly good nature. Her presence is always made known by her merry laugh, which is particularly well known in the dining-room. Each morning the sun peeps over the horizon and finds Catherine pacing the basket-ball field with a will. This act she has continued for a number of years in order to fall off.” Be it said that she has indeed been very faithful, though sad to relate, no results, as yet, are very evident. We hope that her jolly nature and good disposition will always prove as stable as her weight. We will miss her beaming countenance when the cruel necessity of graduation severs her connection with us. BERTHA McCUTCHEON, L. I. Bishopville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society Silence is more musical than any song.’’ Bertha, after spending a year at Winthrop. decided to cast in her lot at Chicora,” September, 1911. Thus she wished to secure the finishing touches in the Nor¬ mal Course, which might prepare her for the position of principal of some high school. Her sincerity, good nature, and all-round good heartedness have won for her many friends, but she is best loved by those who know her best. Bertha’s many friends at Chicora call her, ‘‘Going to Clinton.” From marvelous accounts of frequent visits, we think it is doubtful that Bertha will ever teach,—but then, one can never tell.

MARY LAND, B.A. Yorkville, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “I go to grove my soul! ” Mary, true to her name, is indeed exalted. With high ideals and principles she came to college only to realize those and immediately set up higher ones. Her college career has been an example to all others. Our most influential and best loved girl, she has reached even the most timid girls by her sweetness, under¬ standing and sympathy. It is Mary’s sole purpose in life to become a missionary, and with this end in view, she has sought diligently for all knowledge that could aid her in any way. In preparation for the foreign field she will enter Johns Hopkins University after leaving Chicora. MARY GIBBES MITCHELL, Expression Greenville, S. C. “She lends to the rhyme of the poet, The beauty of her voice.” Mary came to us in the fall of 1911 from St. Mary’s in Raleigh. During these two years she has endeared herself to all with whom she has come in contact. How could it be otherwise in the case of this wee bit of ■humanity, with radiant face and sparkling eyes? Mary will take her Expression degree with “An Old Sweet¬ heart of Mine.” The fortune-teller predicts that this rlie will become the president of a famous school of xpression, unless—well “Amor omnia vine it.

ELIZABETH REBECCA McNEILL, B. Mus. Lynchburg, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “I am the Master of my fate. I am the Captain of my soul.” For four years Elizabeth has been a student in Chicora College. If you are in need of a true friend to sympathize or to help you out of some difficulty, she is always ready to lend ' assistance. Depth of char¬ acter stands out foremost in her dealings, and a strong determination predominates. Her ability here has been shown in her marked success as business manager of Le Resume. She is what she is, there is no hypocrisy about her. She is very independent, and beware, lest you trample upon her rights! Liking literature, but loving music, she devotes most of her talent to this department, and has made an enviable stand here; her soul is in her playing. We predict for Elizabeth a very promising musical career. ETHELYN OWENS, B. Mus. Georgetown, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in woman. During the three years of Ethelyn’s sojourn at Chicora, she has made rapid progress in all lines. But in the development of her musical talent has she most distinguished herself. Not only did she graduate in piano, but she was also voted to have the best voice in College. She is a strong member of the Glee Club, and all other musical organizations in school. Kind, sympathetic, gentle and tender; shy of speech, great in heart, always faithful, forever true—thus is Ethelyn a loyal member of Class ’13.
