Kathouise is our most charming, lilushing young maid whenever pictures are mentioned. She is not only smart, but wonderfully brilliant. She is a first- rate cook, an imitation Parisian seamstress, and has an ex- cellent disposition. Therefore. I admonish all folks to look hitherward. g Ifci - •— ► .m i r B!

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever, is a familiar quotation. But Mary P., as President of the Y. W. C. A. has proved herself both good and clever. She stars in oratory, and has many dreams of Boston. The only fault that we have to find with her is her aversion to cats and pictures of cats. SADIE LOUISE STURDIVAXT. A.B., BKSSEMKR, ALA. Daughter of the G ds. dii-incly tall, And most divinely fair. Y. W. C. A. ; J. C. L. S. : A. K. II. : L. B. A. : A. A. A. ; Jolly Bachelors; Skeeters ; T.

Miss Sadie is our society belle. She is a shark at enter- taining. At Y. V. C. A. receptions, club entertainments, and all other social affairs, she is indispensable. We are sure that some day we will have cause to be proud of her as a journalist. She has made great progress with her many short stories and her clever songs, one of which is the famous ditty, entitled, The Family.

Welcome Address Class Day Exercises, March 5, 1912. It is with hearts mingled with joy and sorrow that we welcome you today. Joy, Ijecause we have at last reached the long-looked-for time when we should wear the cap and gown and be called Seniors. Sad, be- cause we realize more forcibly the fact that only a few more months are left to us before we leave these walls which we love so dearly. I am sure you will agree with me when I say College days are not all sunshine. This is impossible. But although disappointments and hardships have been ours, we have always been able to look through the dark clouds and to catch gleams of sunshine on the other side. And we realize that it is by surmounting the hardships of college life that we prepare ourselves for the problems which we must confront in the j ' ears to come. At times when the seeking of pleasure seemed to us the only aim of life, we fain would have given up our tasks for the so-called. Good-times, had it not been for our motto, Xon undis sed Remis, which seemed to admonish us to continue our pursuit of knowledge. And indeed it has been by means of oars, and not by means of v aves, that today we are nearing the goal. We can only wish for you, our schoolmates, the happiness which has been ours during our stay in Athens College. We wish to express to )OU, our instructors, our gratitude for the patience with which you have labored with us for these four years, and it is our hope that in the 3 ' ears to come, you may be as great an inspiration to other classes as you have been to us. Before leaving our Alma IMater, we are glad of the opportunity to express publicly our appreciation of our beloved President. Her counsel and words of encouragement have guided us in conquering the hindrances along our way, and her influence, which has led us thus far, shall shine as a beacon light throughout life ' s journey. Class President. (22)
