EDITH CHAMBLISS OVERBEY CHATHAM, VA. “Slow and steady wins the nice.’’ It would be a difficult task to estimate the exact num¬ ber of years that Edith has been treading the “path to fame” at C. E. I. Nevertheless, she is certainly treading it with full force this year. Her wit, her happy-go-lucky disposition, and her generous nature have won for her not only this coveted “fame,” but a host of friends. Until this year, Edith was continually pestered with this plea, “Please buy me something over town,” for she is one of the town girls, much envied on account of her freedom. But now she is “on her honor” not to make any pur chases for us, so her good disposition is no longer imposed upon. We certainly have reason to be glad that she has decided to reach her goal with the class of nineteen. 18

Lois, our stylish girl, came to us last year, and even then her neat, stylish person was a joy to our eyes. Mrs. Willis herself remarks upon Lois’s style. On cold winter mornings she comes to the breakfast table calm, cool, and very neat, with her hair dressed in the latest fashion, while the rest of us ordinary mortals come dressed in anything at all with hair streaming in all directions. This alone proves that Lois is an exceptional girl. She has other good qualities, tact and plenty of it; she is also a good student and can afford no end of zeros to attend a dance; she is a steadfast friend, quite an exception here— but on this subject interview Sara. 17

KATHERINE DEE REDMAN follansbee, w. va. “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.’ Katherine has been with us four years, and during this time her lively conversation and attractive manner have won for her the admiration and respect of every one. Nobody is blue when she is around, for this well-known disease fades into the distance, and peals of laughter take its place. Katherine’s line of conversation drifts from daily wants to the all-important subject of “Park.” We can almost always hear such snatches of conversation as, Oh, girls, here’s a letter from Park.” or “He blew me up.” But her closing words are invariably the same, “He’s mighty nice.” Although Katherine has never acquired a fondness for Latin, this does not lessen her affection for the Latin teacher: but on this subject consult Miss Bright. 19
