W. To those who do not know her well, Irene appears as meek as a lamb, but her intimate friends have come in contact with her when she was in the mood attributed to her birth-month- March. One of lrene's accomplishments is the timely fand un- timely, use of sarcasm. That lrene possesses intellect is indi- cated by her scant amount of hair, for it is a well-known fact that the truly great have little of this crowning glory. BERTHA ANNA BURRESS, A. B. ANDERSON, S. C. Recording Secretary of Winthrop Literary Society, Third Term, l9ll-l9l2. At holiday times, Bertha is a charming companion, for she is the happy possessor of the best of gifts-a jolly disposition. But when duty calls the good limes are all over, for she throws her whole soul into the pursuit of stars and doubles. She is especially interested in the sciences, and she uses this study as a basis for the explanation of her various dreams. 1,1 X . Q. ' MERTIE. CANNON, A. B. SIMPSONVILLE, S. C. Member of Winthrop Literary Societyg member of Y. W. C. A. Although Mertie shows up quite favorably on first acquaintance, the better you know her, the better you like her. She is an expert at creating the home atmosphere, and to this accomplishment her double stars on Model Home are probably due. 24

IRENE BROWN, B. S. PENDLETON, S. C. Member of Curry Societyg member of Y. W. C. A. and R. S. I. A. The hrst law of Heaven is order. This Irene believes in. preaches, and practices. She keeps up with her note books, and can actually find her belongings without having to hunt for them She has firm convictions, which she does not mind expressing when occasion demands it. She is very quiet and sweet, but how sarcastic! Irene is perfectly happy when she is talking about clothes. I-Ier aesthetic taste is also shown in her fondness for poetry, particularly that of Wordsworth. She is very much interested in Domestic Economy and everything pertaining to the home. MARY LOUISE BROWN, A. B. IVIARioN, 5. C. Member of Y. W. C. A.: member of Correspondence Clubg Reporter in Wade Hampton Literary Society, Third Term, 1909- l9I0g College Commencement Marshal, l9I0g Exchange Editor of fournal. 1910-I9ll, College Marshal, 1910-1911, President of Wade Hampton Society, l9lI-1912. I-Iere comes a three-in-one. If you are looking for a teacher, a housekeeper, or a social star, you need search no further. Louise's talent shines forth in the school-room, kitchen, or parlor. IVIABEL BROWNE, A. B. IVIANNING, S. C. Member of Winthrop Literary Society: member of Y. W. C. A.g member of R. S. I. A.g Assistant Art Editor of TATLER. Mabel is a quiet, demure girl, and seldom comes out of her shell to communicate with mankind, but we may be sure that she is attending to her own affairs. Beneath the bashful exterior her friends have found a good-natured, sweet-tempered girl, who always looks on the bright side of things. 23

W. Virginia first attracted the attention of the Winthrop world by her dignity-a rather unusual trait in a Freshman. She does not differ from the red-haired type fVirginia's hair is red, in its chief characteristic-she has a temper. This, however, is only moved by a just cause: and, though it flames up suddenly, it disappears as suddenly. That she is attractive is proved by her many con- quests. lt takes her room-mate to tell of her numerous rushes, who are so eager that they put in their appearance immediately after breakfast. She is loyal to all whom she loves. This is why so many trusts have been committed to her keeping. LOUISE CARSON, A. B. SUMTER, S. C. Member Winthrop Literary Society, Cecilia Chorus, and Y. W. C. A., member of Special Class, l908, member of Executive Committee of Winthrop Society, Third Term, l9II-I9I2g mem- ber S. W.: President H E CD. Sticks is the Rag-chewer of Rag-time Alley, and although she is a very industrious member of the organization known as the Senior jaw Workers, she has never been known to exert herself in any other capacity. She is a living example of Higher Womanhoodi' fheight, 5 feet IIM5 inchesj. Notwith- standing her great talent for both music and millinery, Gym is her favorite study, and she has accepted a position to teach that subject at Winthrop next year. MARY CATHERINE CARTWRIGHT, A. B. YORKVILLE, S. C. Member of Y. W. C. A., W. I... S., Terpsichorean German Club: Secretary and Treasurer of Terpsichorean German Club, l9II-I9l2g Qui Vive Editor, I908: Historian in W. I... S., Third Term, l909-I9I0g Manager of Basket-ball Team, l908- 19095 Right Guard Basket-ball Team, l909-I9I0g Marshal at Commencement, 1909-I9I0g member of fb Z: Ag member of T T T, When one acknowledges that there's not another loose like her, what description is possible? Mary Cartwright is a com- bination of contrasts of indifference, friendliness, good nature, wit, thick-headedness, activity, and laziness. She has the bad habit of yodeling, and neither the threats of a professor to report her for disturbing the peace, nor the attempts of many admirers to acquire that accomplishment, have induced her to lay it aside. Since her debut at the dance hall, she has held unchallenged the honor of being the best dancer at Winthrop. She has many friends termed Aztec, who have all agreed that that name prop- erly belongs to her alone. Since she has gone through college without a nickname, they wish to present it to her as a parting gift. 25 0
