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 ]

A LUCE Wilma Dora Sherman Keep your eye upon the goal. Wilma is fascinating in features and ele- gant in voice— a lovely countenance is the fairest of all sights, and the sweetest harmony in the world is the sound of the voice of the one whom we admire. James Badgett Morris He conquers a second time zvho controls him- self in victory. When the daughters of Zeus were musing over a small bit of clay and wondering what should be done with it, they decided at last to make one who should be fair, handsome, intelligent. In this very act they piled the clay so as to blend together — not Turkish blend— the manly, upright, and sterling qualities of youth in such a way as to create a future leader of men — thus we have James. Mattie Eleanor Williford He zvho comes to the mill first does not grind last. Mattie is cheerful, friendly, and seems to accept everything with a smile. One of her class mates, whose initials are N. B. Jr., and who paid for her engraving in Prima Luce, paid her the following compliment : A young man rarely gets a better vision of himself than that which is reflected from a true girl’s eyes; for God himself sits behind them”— we don’t know what Nat saw. Lois Virginia Dean Politeness and an affable address are our best introduction. Still waters run deep.” Lois came to us from across the river, and has proven herself a true friend to her class. Her quietness and conscientiousness have won for her many friends. [ Page 31 ]
