Tjftstnrg of GHass 100H 9 X accordauce with the adage, age before beauty, we will begin with Louise Chick. She came to Agnes Scott near the close of the last century. For several years she lay dormant, but awoke to the realities of life in 1904, and to make up for lost time has since then associated herself actively with four classes. }fot long ago Chick found English too commonplace to express her mighty thoughts and straightway resorted to German. Close application to the study of this language has in some part taken the place of her affection for Popey dear. ' Tis strange but true that one of us has been here longer than Chick. Charlotte Eamspeck learned her A B C ' s at Agnes Scott Academy. The college has tried to outgrow her, but she bas risen with it, and, in spite of the distraction of a day pupil, she has reached her senior year with honors. Xext comes our country lass, Maud Hill. She grew up mi a farm and grew and grew and grew and really did no harm. Then she came to Agnes Scott, and since she has been here she has grown in wisdom and stature and in favor with the faculty and students. She has borne with dignity the many responsibilities heaped upon her and has proven faithful to every trust. When Elva Drake came to us, three years ago, she was put in the room with Louise Chick — the one fatal mistake of Miss Hopkins. The Drake and the Chick soon separated, however, and peace reigned throughout the land. The ease with which Elva has stood her countless examinations has made

her famous in the annals of the college. Her executive ability has guided the Student Government Association safely through the crisis of another year, and to her be the praise for the success of the Silhouette. La petite Katharine Dean began as a Freshman in 1904 and is the sole survivor of that Freshman class. She has carried a double burden and is one of the three in the history of Agnes Scott who has obtained a certificate in music in addition to her diploma. Katharine has always been the fashion plate for the class. When in doubt of what to wear, All the class to her repair. For six years the slow train through Arkansas has brought us Lill Phillips. Lill never troubles trouble, till trouble troubles her, but the Fates have been kind to her, and in her undertakings she has always been successful. Her triumphs on field day have brought honor to the class and to sister Anne, her faithful adviser. Jeannette Brown has been continually the mouthpiece of the class, and, though she somewhat monopolizes the conversation, generally has something good to say. Her forte lies in literature and her contributions to the college magazines have added greatly to their value. Jeannette has frequently proven her ability as a hostess and has done much for the pleasure of the class. Rose Wood was handed down to us from the class of 1905. Two years of vacation did not quench her thirst for knowledge, and 1908 found her main- taining her old standard of perfection at Agnes Scott. All praise to Lolah Parham that, in spite of the absence of Miss Massie and Ethel MacBonald, she had the courage to return to Agnes Scott. Her ability to blend domestic with physical science has often been proved, to the great delight of the class in Physics B. Her laces and embroideries have been an effective means of securing the favor of the faculty and of spreading her fame abroad. Last but not least comes Lizzabel, of small stature but gigantic intellect. No one has ever stood the ghost of a chance for an honor if Lizzabel entered the contest. On every commencement day she has borne the palm of victory. But who could marvel, for she was never known to waste a minute! Although the history of a class, like that of the world, is made up of individual histories, this record is incomplete without some recognition of the class as a whole. It bears the distinction of having first introduced the custom of wearing the cap and gown at Agnes Scott and will be remembered for that, among other things. So. here s to the class, the merry old class. To its days both bright and blue; Here ' s to our future, be what it may. We ' ve had our best davs — in you.
