WINNIE WILLIAMSON COX. Oh, .saw you Ihe lass tuillz the balmy blue K'-jlllfiyi The little girl with the golden hair and the happy laugh is VVinnie. Although the teachers do not seem to appreciate her vivacity in study hall, there is no lack of appreciation shown by her friends in the back of the study hall, especi- ally those in the double seats. MARY CRANSTON. I have a smiling faceg I have a jest for all I meet. Vlfhenever you see Mary she is smiling. We are sure that she will make a fine teacher, for she will win the hearts of her children with that everlasting smile. As for being bright-we will not be surprised to hear of Mary heading the Normal School list. ELIZABETH AILEEN DAVIS. It never rains but it ,b0m's - So it is with Dafvises. Elizabeth is the fourth and last of the Davis family to leave Central. Elizabeth has one bad habit-she will talk in class, and consequently she gets sent out of the room a great many more times than she should. She expects to enter Syracuse next fall, but unless she stops talking the faculty will not have time to teach her. Any- way, we wish her the luck that is sure to be hers. 23

DOROTHY CLARK. HHF7' sumzy silken locks 0 joy fo behold. Dorothy is one of those petite girls who win their way into the hearts of all. Her school record shows an amazing line of Es. Her avo- cation is drawing and painting, which promises great things for her. HAZEL M. COLTON. Basketball Team, 1910-11-12g Class Prophet, Class of February, 1912. Her only fault is that size has 110 faults. Hazel probably held the distinction of being the best known and the most popular girl in school. Her winning manner gained for her the popularity among the feminine and masculine members of the student body, It must indeed have been a skillful player who could shoot many goals past Hazel during a basketball game. During the past year, she seemed to have some peculiar interest in Cornell University, who few of us have been able to explain until recollecting the Central graduates at that in- etitution. CATHERINE M. COXVSILL. Her eyes are tivo twin stars. Is she as kind as she is fair? Indeed she is. If anything could be sweeter than her looks it is her disposition. Her greatest fault is a virtue -over-modesty. She is a faithful student, too, and devotes much time to the pursuit of knowl- edge-when her admirers leave her, Two emi- nent authorities have pronounced her The best looking girl in the Senior Class. 22

MARY ETHEL DAVIS. Essie No mutter where you see her, In quiet haunt or mart, Her gracious Southern manners Wi!! surely win your heart. VVe challenge anybody to produce as many names as Ethel has been known by since she ar- rived at Central, four years ago. Beginning with Mary, her names next run down through the E's, Edna, Elizabeth, etc., and before many years she will probably be changing it again, legally, Regardless of her already numerous appellations, she has recklessly made a name for herself in her studies and class debate. JULIA WHITING DAVIS. Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece. Julia hails from Virginia, as you can tell by her pretty Southern accent. She is a jolly girl and her bright smile always lights up the study hall, especially on those dark days. She is a great talker, as Miss Morgan will testify. RUTH ELIZABETH DAVIS. From the frown of her head to the tiff of her toes she is all mirihf' Ruth is our great candy lover and from all re- ports we hear that she makes a specialty of P'eter's Chocolate. Ruth is thinking of going to Normal School, but oh! what a shame it is that she does not cultivate her talent for debate. We hope and expect that she will make just as good a success at teaching the little tots as she does at convincing the judges. 24
