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.

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.

RUTH SMITH, Expression Greenville, S. C. “Rapt with seal, pathetic, bold and strong. Rolled the full tide of eloquence along.” Ruth took her B.A. degree with the Class of 1911, and after teaching a year came back to graduate in expression with the “Thirteeners.” The results that she has accomplished this year have caused us to stand aside in admiration and amazement, but no doubt if it were possible to see the amount of grey matter in that head of hers; we should wonder no longer. She can accomplish in one day as much as the average person does in three. Political genius is not wanting with Ruth, and remembering her natural talent, her brilliance of mind, together with an untiring energy, we predict for her a high place in the realm of dramatic art. FLORENCE THORNWELL STEELE, B. Mus. Rock Hill, S. C. Palladian Literary Society “And before knowledge goetli humility.” Florence has been a member of our class through all four years, and hgr gentle, sympathetic disposition has helped many of her co-workers through the trials and worries of their college life. Her conscientiousness, an excellent quality, predominates in her life, but still it tends to make her worry for fear of not performing her duty. We think Florence will make a good discip¬ linarian on account of the authority she has exercised in the training of her sister, Eloise, the Junior, the last three years of her college life. Her ability at the piano will doubtless win for her an honored and well- deserved place among the musicians of South Carolina.
