A THE RHODODENDRON C .= •■ ,■ ?i . .V A A I. ' I I I DAPHNE BUTNER Burnsville, N. C. Tis sweet to love, but, Ah — ' Tis bitter to love another girl ' s man. Dignity, refinement, culture and modesty are the elements possessed by Little Bit tliat blend into beautiful character. W ' e a ree with the old saying, Precious things always come in small packages, and the world will know about her by the noise she makes. DURHAM BRACKETT HoUis. N. C. Science club, ' 28- 29; Rutherford County Club; Appalachian Lit. Soc, ' 28- ' 29; Critic. Appalach- ian Lit. Soc, ' 29. The least we can say of Dock is that he is entertaining. You might think, to hear him talk, that bis interest was centered on ladies, dates and picnics, rather than college activities, but he is a good worker, a good sport and a pal always. FANNIE BRACKETT HoIIis. N. C. Phila Uelian Lit. Soc, ' 2»- ' 29; Y. W. C. A.. ' 29; Rutherford County Club. Fannie is a quiet little maiden who makes you feel the truth of the old i)roverb, Silence is golden . The class could hardly get along without her. HA .I-i, IJROVVXINO Stony Point. N. C V. W. C. A.. ' 28; Phila Retian Lit. vSoc, ' 2S; Ooorkeeper, Phila Retian Lit. Soc, ' 29; Home Economics club, ' 28; Sec. Home Ec club, 29. Treas., Iredale County Club. ' 29. Her heart is like a singing bird. Hazel is small, modest and shy; but she has mischief in ber eye. She can be dignified or gay. but she ' s never gloomy. No matter what goes wrong, she can always sing a song. RUTH HUROKSS Spindale, N. C. Pliila Retian; Y. W. C. A.; Science club, ' 2$; Rutherford County Club; B. Y. P. U. The secret of making the labor of life easy is to do each duty each day. Ruth has but one determination aiul that is to make good. We are sure that she will achieve her goal. Ruth is a friend with a host of friends who will miss her congenial person- ality long after she leaves school. Her straight- forward manner and desire to achieve sumething will surely lead her to the heights of her am- bition. PEARLE BALL Stony Point. X. C. Thalian Lit. Soc. ' 28- ' 29; Y. W. C. A., •28- ' 29; I would be true for there are those who love me, I would be brave for there are those who care. So studious and conscientitius has Pearle proved herself to be that any one of us might be proud of a record such as hers. Indeed, it is a record that will gladden the hearts of those back home who care so much. Page Twenty-six ' ' ' .Z .: ! ' NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE •■ . IZZ .

' 2 - ' 29 ' 27 - ' 29; Oscar is one of those fellows that seem to lag around with him a load of good cheer and fel- lowship.

Soc, ' 28 (I); Critic Thalian Lit. Soc, ' 28 (3); V. W. C. A. Good natured and generous, jolly and clever. Her tongue, like a brooklet, goes on forever Just because she ' s witty, so cheerful and so gay, because she makes us happy with smiles through every day. And. too, because she ' modest, helpful, true and kind. Because a sym- pathetic heart in her we always find. For all these things and more we know, We love and honor Hagie so. OPHELIA BLMGHAM Sugar Grove, X. C. Phila Retian, ' 27- ' 28. Loving and true, smiling her way through. To know Ophie is to love her. When she is once a friend, she is always a friend. One witli higher ideals, more determination to succeed, or one who is fairer in everything can ' t be found. Of that we are sure. -MRS. GLADYS M. BINGHAM Boone, N. C. Gladys is one of our most dependable students. She has always taken an active part in ath- letics, and can always be depended upon to help out. Mrs. Bingham will make an excellent teacher, we are sure. She carries away with her the best wishes of the class of ' 29. MINNIE BOONE Rutherfordton, X. C. If she will she will, and you can de- pend on it. If she won ' t she won ' t, and there ' s an end to it. Oh, Min stands for what she thinks is right no matter what others say. But if convinced she is wrong, she will change her mind. She seems to be opposed to cosmetics and dates, but we doubt very much Minnie ' s future as an old maid school teacher.
