Clide Lycester Morris Plus dolet quam necesse est, qui ante dolet, quam necesse est. He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrozv has arisen. Clide, although he has had his hard knocks, is a good fellow. Once one said that his mid- dle name, instead of being “Lycester,” should have been ”De Pester.” Once when Clide did not know his History lesson, Mr. Stone said : “ ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ but ‘all play and no work’ makes Clide a poor student.” But notwithstanding these remarks Clide has been captain of the basketball team and is quite a remarkable person on various parts of the campus. He likes to go with the girls — to say nothing about how they like it. And if one jilts him, he uses some strong sentence, as, “She has more beauty than sense, more accomplishments than learning, more charms of person than graces of mind, more admirers than friends, more fools than wise men for attendants.” Annie Frances O’Brian Basis virtutum constantia. Constancy is the basis of virtue. The “wise fool” who said that beauty and brains do not go together is contradicted by Annie. She has a superlative way of fussing and smiling. There’s no doubt that she is ath- letic and witty. A whirlwind of energy, she delights in tripping the delicate fantastic toe in the joy of the Charleston.

Elsie Ray Morris It is the season, not the soil, that brings forth the crop. Elsie is a versatile person. Truly at her feet we lay the laurels that without her smile would never have been gained ; it is her image that strings the lyre of the poet, that animates the voice in eloquence, and guides the brain in august toil of stately councils. Leva Epluribus Clayton A good leader makes a good follower. Captured in the wilds of Shakerag, this is neither Mark Antony nor Uncle Remus, but our free-hearted Leva, who, by his jokes and witty sayings, has added much to his grade and school. Leva has an attractive appearance and pleasing personality, and his sincere and friendly disposition has made him scores of friends who will remember him as one of the most worth- while school chums. Janie Gladys Daniel II e arc not born for ourselves alone. Janie is quiet, unassuming, and industrious. Her features in brightness are a prophecy ; m sadness, a history. To her, cleverness is an art, and intellect, a pearl ; divinely wrought, divinely rare. Ruby Flora Hobgood I o have the same likes and dislikes, therein consist the firmest bonds of friendship. There is no mortification, however keen ; no misery, however desperate, which the spirit of Ruby cannot in some degree lighten or alleviate. Her society is the society of polite- ness. [ Page 28 ]
