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.

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.

ANNA PUETT, B.A. Dallas, N. C. Kratian Literary Society ' ■Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.” Anna, the only “Tar-heel in our class, was born many, many years ago in a little town of North Caro¬ lina. She’s been going to school quite a while and is not sure but that she will go at least a year or two longer. Well you never can tell what a girl like Anna will do—some peope think she is quiet, but perhaps they are the ones who don ' t give other people a chance. She leaves Chicora with a good record, many friends, and truly it may be said, no enemies. She has done good work in her regular course, paints attractive, though rather sentimental posters, and works “Math,’ like a machine. Anna Puett certainly is an extraor¬ dinary girl—she is extremely fond of Mathematics. Thus runs the life of this maiden—but a word of warn¬ ing if you wish to remain on friendly terms with her—- Don’t point your finger at her—Enough said. I see her j ump already. • IONE ROWELL, B.A. Piedmont, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “II ' lien all things have their trial you shall find Nothing constant but a virtuous mind. lone is a studious, straightforward girl, and can always be depended upon. She has distinguished her¬ self by her love for Latin. However, she has not con¬ fined herself to the classics but has done full justice to other studies, making altogether a worthy record. Yet she believes that “too much study is a weariness of the flesh,” and takes great delight in all our re¬ ceptions. We phophesy a brilliant future for lone as a teacher unless—some one interferes.
