tc make her the foremost singer of the age. Already at this youthful tide, has she refused positions offered as Grand Opera Singer. She has so reached the stage of perfection along this line, that she even recites hsr lessons in tune, but, — sad to say — they ' re almost doleful. Ruford Turrentine expects to make a man of himself, and as he is a pret- ty ene.getic (?) youngster, we have no doubt but what he ' ll come out victorious. As did Caesar remark so will he: I came, 1 saw, 1 conquered ! Only one remains unspoken of, but as I am she, I kinder feel a hesitancy in touching upon such a light weight so excuse me please. Lena Key. 24

In the world ' s broad field of battle In the bivouac of Life, Not as slow dumb driven cattle. But as heroes in the strife. May Hughes who hails from Benton, the Citadel of the South, has been among us, now, for three years. So long, indeed, that we have about become accustomed to her smiling grin and winning ways and I ' m sure the Seniors, Juniors, etc., of the coming year will be loath to be deprived of such a jolly care free lassie. For one of her age, she is very innocent, but this is due to her early associations with Blondie. About the biggest thing I w ould undertake to embrace is my next subject Emmie Hays. She has bsen chosen as the most popular girl in Henderson College and rightly so, too, for she has a heart in her like a trolley car, Always room for one more. Her most peculiar characteristic is that she treats all men alike. No tongue would dare out-claim our Silver-tongued Orator Skipv ithe Adams. His words of wisdom, each day, are seeking prominence in the Sen- atorial Chamber, and long ago was he hailed as The Coming Senator Adams. Good morning! Pleased to meet you ! Perhaps the smallest, and yet the most significant member of our class is Leta Wright. Wise, she assumes tasks that would vex the president of this great country, and yet she does accomplish them with astonishing alacrity. Indeed, she is a w onderful creature, notwithstanding her minute statue. In this case, specially is it true that precious jewels are done up in small packages. Like a cyclone did she whirl among us, this dashing little maid, Mittie Grace Mahan. She is fair to look upon, indeed all beauty of the class is concealed in this one member. Concealed becausa it has never been brought to light, so far. Yet is it necessary for me to say that she is a very timid, blushing little chile, shrinking from Hendersonian Society? No, it isn ' t necessary, for she does not and we a 1 know it. And smart? I guess she is! She says lots of cute things, which she writes down in her little Book of Sayings. Salute! Major Gibbs, Chief Executive of the Heads-up Brigade, with commanding, rather than obeying, manner he walks among his poor, little helpless cadets, burdening their already tired out corporal systems with his oneroug orders. From his listless manner one would judge that he was born at a time when there was nothing doing, but when the double quick march is patted out by his No. i I ' s on the concrete walk, on the way from Evan ' s to Kaufman ' s we can conceive of no more exciting fact than that business is picking up with Mc. Bessie Kaufman, our old maid, (maybe?) has peculiar ways of her own, yet she gets there just the same. Robed in the garment of perfected understanding she steals silently forth from her paternal domicile each morning, to return in the evening, having gathered unto hersslf knowledge more abundantly. That little word love ' has given Sister Kaufman more trouble than anything else, but I think she has partially come to the full realizations of its sensations, however it was accomplished in a Gibberous manner. Prima-donna Tarrant will soon have acquired enough speed in reputation 23
