C. Music “Who is so full of grace that it flows over on all that need.” Susie Gray came to us five years ago, a little girl, and with each revolution of the planet she has grown in grace and wisdom and appreciation of the good and the true. She has finished the course in English Literature and has exhibited as much ability in English as she has shown in Music, though her ability in and appreciation of music is most admirable. “She is a winsome, wee thing” and all hearts rejoice that she will not be far from us in the coming years and in the knowledge that she will ever be loyal and helpful to her college. “The dews of Heaven fall thick in blessings upon her.” ELSIE GLENN LANGLEY Elm City, N. C. Music “She bore a mind that envy could not but call fair.” Four years ago Elsie came to 11s “adorned like sweet May”; and her gentle ways, low, sweet voice, diligence, and fine talent soon enabled her to take her place among the best, the chosen few. She is so musical in her tem- perament that none were surprised when she chose Music as her major, and her exquisite rendition makes her an accomplished pianist. We hope she will continue to cul- tivate her musical talent to a much greater perfection. “Heaven give you many, many happy days.” Hesperian Pianist Hesperian Society; Vice- President Music Club; Literary Editor The Radiant ; Music Reporter The Pine Knot ’13; Historian Senior Class.

Senior Class Poem Will you listen to my rhyme, While I tell you in short time, Of the wonders we have done And the honors we have won? Not for many days, I ween, Such a class has e’er been seen As the one we gladly represent, Joyful, happy and content. Happy, for the heavy work is done And our trophies proudly won; Joyful in the knowledge gained, And the heights that we’ve attained. Would you, too, not be content, If four years in school you’d spent And now felt that you were free, Browsing on life’s flowery lea? Oh, the wonders we’ve achieved! They’re really hard to be believed, But we’re sure we’ll convince your ear For we’ll make them wondrous clear. Now before you we do truly stand By the right of wisdom, highest in the land, Not of wisdom only do we beg you hear, But of pleasures, trials, joys and friendships dear. First and greatest of our woes The most fascinating of girls’ foes— Logic—of which all philosophers teach, And by deepest study was the summit reached. In Economics we are fully versed And our minds have been duly nursed In signs and cosigns, tangents rare None with us in these things can compare. Of our knowledge of Psychology We can surely boast without apology; And in Ethics and Evidences We have truly sharpened all our senses. We are sure our faces must be glowing With the rich thoughts that come flowing, From the boundless river of literary lore Which will give us joy forevermore. And we’ve quaffed of Music’s pleasure And its harmonies beyond all measure; Also have we walked in Art’s dominions Learning there to spread our pinions; And we soared in times so olden Filled with music and paintings golden Till we caught the inspiration Which welded into life’s aspiration. At the feet of sages we’ve been sitting As such little maids was befitting And we learned that life’s stern duty Must be taught by voices of surpassing beauty. That the stream of life must ebb and flow As it did in days of long ago, And that to our merry, glad tomorrow Evil things to us will come in robes of sorrow. But deliver us from such pessimistic teaching, And a deaf ear will we turn to all such preach- ing, On this class of 1913 with the trophies they have won Never will they dream that they’ll forget their fun. And at A. C. College where we’ve blushed and bloomed May we not be sure our mem Ties will be en- tombed In the hearts of those we love so dear As the day of parting now draws near. Oh, we pray you in this month of flowers, Filled with happy, joyous hours, By the love we truly hope we’ve won That your prayer may speed us, every one.

SALLIE LEWIS BRIDGES, A.B. Elm City, N. C. Hesperian Vice-President Senior Class; Vice- President Hesperian Societ y ’10-’lt, 'll-’12, ’12-’13; College Editor The Radiant ’lO-’ll; Poet Sophomore Class ’11-’12; Co-editor The Radiant T2-'13; College Editor The Pine Knot T3. “In all external grace you have some part, But you like none, none you for constant heart.” For four years Sallie has been with us and, by her un- tiring industry, her warm heart and brilliant mind, has won the love and admiration of students and Faculty. Through unremitting perseverance in the very face of inevitable obstacles she has successfully finished the Col- legiate Course and won her degree. We predict for her a career of worth and usefulness which will reflect credit upon her Alma Mater to which she will ever remain a loyal daughter. “The God of Heaven both now and ever bless her.” LILLIE MOORE HEWITT Catherine Lake, N. C. Art “Many days shall see her, And yet no day without a deed to crown it.” Lillie is our “busy bee,” always at work, always cheery, always ready to do a kindness. For four and a half years has she been with us, and every year has revealed new worth, great improvement and new capabilities. We much regret that she cannot finish her Collegiate Course as well as her Art. The painstaking care and exquisite finish of her work show her marked ability in her chosen field and we hope she will be able to attain still higher perfection in Art. “Take my blessing, God protect thee.” Alethian Prophet Senior Class; Historian Sand Fiddlers’ Club; Art Editor The Pine Knot T3; Treasurer Alethian Society, Spring term, 1913.
