KATHARINE. YATES CHAPPELL, B. S. LrKEsLAND, S. C. Member of Winthrop Literary Society: member of Y. W. C. A. and R. S. l. A. Kattie, as she is known to us, has a merry, happy disposition. Free from all worry, she looks on life with such a hopeful view that the saying, You old pessimistf' has become quite character- istic of her. She is very sympathetic-a few minutes' talk with her serves as a cure for a severe case of blues Katharine is always prepared to argue, and usually comes out ahead. Per- haps from her ability to argue has developed her chief fault- sarcasm. Her hobby is fresh air. One of our recent discoveries about Kattie, and perhaps the most important fact concerning her, is that she has lately become deeply interested in all phases of Domestic Science-even M. Dfs come in for a share of her attention. MARGARET COKER, A. B. Socuarr I-IILL, S. C. Member of Y. W. C. A., Winthrop Literary Society, College Choir, Cecilia Chorus, Culee Club, and Senior Singing Clubg Marshal of Winthrop Society, First Term, l9I0-l9Ilg elected Qui Vive Editor, First Term, l909-l9l0g Joint Celebration Mar- shal, First Term, l9lO-l9ll, Class Day Marshal, l9IOg Vice- President W.

Nlargaret, better known as Coke, Gosh, or any other endearing term which borders upon the foolish, is the adorable cousin of the pet of the Senior Class, Professor Coker. She fools the public, making them think that she is a demure, sober maid, while she is, in reality, one of the gayest birds on Rag-time Alley. Her one redemption is that she has a voice, and when it is used properly it 'pears to great advantage. ETHEL CORBETT, A. B. PAXVILLE, S. C. Member of Y. W. C. A., Winthrop Literary Society and Rural School Improvement Association. Ethel possesses an immense intellectual capacity, quite at vari- ance with her diminutive frame. This is shown by the demand at examination time for her clear, concise explanation of astronom- ical, geological and pedagogical problems. Her aim in life is to draw fine distinctions, and to hnd a psychological reason for everything. As to her future, she says that she is to be an old-maid author. May she win fame for the Class of 1912! 26 naf - -' A' ' -'rw 'fr' '- 'W

VIRGINIA CARROLL, L. I. CHESTER. S. C. Member of Y. W. C. A. and Curry Literary Societyg Mar- shal in Curry Society, Second Term, 1908-1909, Charter Mem- ber of Wade Hampton Literary Societyg Joint Celebration Mar- shal from Wade Hampton Society, 1909-1910, College Mar- shal, I909-I9I0g Member of Executive Committee of Wade Hampton Society, First Term, I9I0-l9II, President of Wade I-Iampton Society, First Term, I9II-t9I2g Recording Secretary of Society, Third Term, I9lI-l9I2g member of College Glee Clubg Basket-ball Manager, l908-I9t2g member of Singing Clubg member Class Tennis Clubg member S. 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

FRANCES IGOE DEAL, A. B. CHARLESTON, S. C. Member of Wade Hampton Literary Society, Y. W. C. A., U. D. C. and R. S. 1. A.: College Commencement Marshal, 1910-19111 Marshal in W. H. S.. Second Term, l9lO-l9ll: Corresponding Secretary of W. H. S., First Term, l9ll-l9l23 member of T T T. Yes, we have a umisdealu in our class, and by no means a fair deal. To look at Frances, one would think that she was a most demure and innocent little brown-eyed girl, but beneath this innocent expression there lies a mischievous nature, which de- lights in practical jokes. Though her appearance is deceitful, her brogue is unmistakable-she is from Charleston. In spite of the aforesaid peculiarities, Frances has a sweet, affectionate dis- position, which has gained for her many friends. C-ERTRUDE DICK, A. B. Oswaco, S. C. Member of Cecilia Chorus, l903-l909g Secretary of Class, 1909-t9lIg Secretary of Executive Committee of Winthrop Lit- erary Society. Second Term, l9lIg Delegate to Student Volun- teer Convention at Rochester, N. Y., l9IOg Treasurer of Y. W. C. A., l9I0-1911. Delegate to Y. W. C. A. Convention, at Asheville, I9Ilg College Commencement Marshal, l9I0g Chair- man of Student Building Fund Committee, l9ll-l9I2g President of Y. W. C. A., l9Il-I9l2g member of S. W. Gertrude won the name of Squab from the Model Home cook, but though small of stature she is not to be rated as insig- nificant. When once the initiative step is taken, her great execu- tive force is put behind the lever, and the result is splendid work. Throughout her college course she has been a source of great helpfulness to her follow-students, and, as a result, she has won many friends. AIVIELIA DU BOSE, A. B. DARLINGTON. S. C. Member of Winthrop Literary Society and Y. W. C. A. 'Melia wears her Senior cap with all the dignity and grace becoming to the Senior. She is very domestic, having acquired her great love for home affairs during her two weeks' stay in the Model Home 'Melia appears to be rather quiet and serious-mindedg however, those who know her well can testify that the reverse is true. 27
