Member of Y. W. C. A. (2, 3 and 4) ; Drama League (2) ; W. P. K. Pres. (3) ; Honorary member of Protropian Society (2, 3 and 4) ; Class Treasurer (3) ; Class Pres. (4) ; Treas. Yonahian (3) ; Secretary Students ' Ass ' n (4). Daisy has proven in her four years at Piedmont that the maxim, Much study is a weariness of the flesh, ' ' is not true. The A ' s that she has made go to prove that residts have been accomplished by her work. Does she ever get blue ? Well, we do not know if she does. She always greets you with a joke and a smile. Does she ever get mad? Only when the boys won ' t give up the tennis court after playing all day. Such conduct Miss Hayes insists, only increases her distaste for the masculine sex. Daisy has set a standard at Piedmont that no other girl in the class of ' 21 can claim : Through her four years she has not given a single gentleman the honor of her esteemed company. Even in her senior year she has heartlessly refused the earnest pleadings of Justus. While pursuing her studies in the early morning hours she has been heard to break forth upon the following strain : I would not marry a man that ' s rich, For he would get drunk and fall in the ditch. I would not marry a man that ' s poor, For he would beg from door to door. So I ' ll not marry at all. Daisy is a friend in need and indeed. In spite of her protests the boys all like her. She has a great love for mathematics and science, which her B. S. de- gree proves. For the past four years she has been a frequent sojourner to the chemistry lab. We imagine her old haunt will be lonesome for the next year. Daisy has made many friends among both faculty and students. We all love her for her sincerity, brilliancy and good disposition. As Daisy is very much interested in education for the masses, we predict that her work will be that of supervision of the schools in her own state. Page Nineteen

When all the nine Senior girls heard that they were to have a new senior boy this year, they immediately set their caps for him, but all in vain ! Luke didn ' t take any stock in the saying, Gee! Whiz! I ' m glad I ' m free; no wed- ding bells for me! for he has the prettiest little wife you ever did see. Mr. Ray is an all-round athlete. In football, how he did shine, and as Coach of the girls ' basketball team be lias done wonders. Whatever he starts he does right. If you want to see some pretty tackling you just ought to see Luke C. in a football game. He has proven his ability not only as an athlete and a student, but as an actor. Those who witnessed the Senior stunt one night can swear to this. In Bible he can discuss anything from Genesis to Revelation and back again. He can almost (hardly tho) equal Sir Thomas in his arguments. When some of us heard that Mr. Ray was studying for the mini- stry we thought he had missed his calling for he was jolly and pleasant. It doesn ' t take the old time long faced preachers to appeal to mankind however, and we are glad that Mr. Ray is entering into this great work with such a pleasant and optimistic outlook on life. We wish you all success, for we know that, vou are everv inch a man. Page Twenty-one
