Marilu Beckham, B. L. I 1 f “She was one of those, whose goodness shuns the light, and who have more pleasure in discovering the good deeds of others than in trumpeting their own, be they never so commendable ’ Olio of the she has gaiiunl the reputa- tion fairly, and also the name ‘Vhatler-hox,” whicdi she won from Louie Feim in a close race. She has the remarkahle pow(‘r of always knowing: just what paragra])h she will have to r(»cite, and governs herself accordingly. So fond is she of writing that she voluntarily elects two literatures, and gets thin carry- ing her ledgers up and down stairs. It is her ambi- tion to become a great public speaker, and she con- stantly recites ‘The boy stood on the burning deck’’ with telling effect. She has gained quite a ‘ rep” as a baseball player and general all-round athlete. How- ever it hajipened, she is dubl ed the ' angel” of the Class. Wilson, Macon. Maiiilu Bkckitam. 4

Sext the tiny little Senior Sat her down before the eainera ; Sat with look demure and pleasant, Meant to have her face all l3eainin % 13 eainin with her fun and frolic. But the proof was, oh, so awful ! IxK)ke l like she was tired of livinjr; Tired of having pietnros taken. Next in order to lx taken Was th ‘ tireless, studious Senior. Sh( , with face of pensive musing, Gazed into the space Ixdore her; Thought to look so wise and learned. But tlie proof was disappointing — Showed her with a blank expression, Smile insipid and forbidding. Of the others, I’ll not tell you, Time would fail me, and your patience. As the artist’s patience failed him; Failed him when he could not please them. Sadly homeward went the Seniors, With a look of resignation, Placed their pictures in the Annual, ‘Jiist to fill up space, they murmured. Here you see them as he took them. Not with looks of high ambition. Looks of noble aspiration; But just Senior girls of Wesleyan, As they really are, not would be. Iyra Stubbs. Needles and pins, Needles and pins. When you are Seniors Your trouble begins.

WilscD, Macon. Argent Effhea. Argent Bethea, A. B. A A ! . Imp, Freshman MeMist 1003, Exchange Editor of the Wesleyan, Member of Senior Basket-ball Team, “Averse to wisdom, seeking but to know The quickest way to captivate a beau.” Desires to join a inatriinoiiial bureau instead of a teachers’ agency, if compelled to make the choice. She entrenches herself within her Exchange Depart- ment ami fearlessly attacks the enemy, ’though she says there is danger of her adjectives giving out. Wears a red notebook tied around her neck con- stantly, in which she enters all strange adjectives that, by hook or crook, may be applied to college magazines. Her dreams are not of her lessons, but of Cupid bearing a diamond ring, “solitary,” of course. She never tells why this is her favorite dream, nor what she will do with the ring or the giver, as all minor details are left to the imagination of others. Think what you please, she “doesn’t care.” 1
