I, Nannie Charles, will my winning ways and good behavior to my dear little deskmate, Maka Jones. I, Mabel Cauble, having a superfluity of hearts on hand, will about a half dozen to the “Old Maids’ Convention. We, Eunice Flanagan and Elizabeth Dove, being strong “men haters,” will our ability in this line to Miss Strong and Miss McFarland. I, Fannie Blair, will my “Billy” to the policeman whose beat lies somewhere in the neighborhood of Chicora. We, Cecile Hirschmann and Minnie Garrett, will our inclination to study physics at recess to Blanche James and Grace Brogdon. I, Page Newman, will and bequeath my Virginia complexion to Mattie Appelt. I, Catherine Blake, will my office as lawyer to some one with more brain and imagination than I. As a candidate I will mention Lucile Barr. C. Blake, ' 06.

Class Will E, THE MEMBERS of the Class of ’06, in this, the most momen¬ tous part of the year, being of sound mind but somewhat frail bodies, do hereby make our last will. To you, our worthy successors, we bequeath our teachers, who have been so patient and faithful to us. But spare them the many tortures we have inflicted. To you we leave all valuable articles found in our classrooms, to be used to a better advantage than the aforesaid class has used them. We, Agnes Seyle, Mary Montgomery and Louise Dye, will our frivolity, wit, and knowledge of the art of flirtation to Lila Hammet, Belle Scott and Johnnie Severance, as they lack this important science to a surprising degree. I, Annie West, will my title as “Greatest Cut” to Bertha Johnson. 1 , Annie Dixon, hereby bequeath my honorable office as biggest flirt to Edena Hidden. I, Nita Moore, as brightest girl in school, feel fully capable of parting with a sufficient amount of knowledge to start Cornelia I’lowden off in the responsible position of a Senior. 1 , Annie Sawtell, hereby bequeath to Lucy Calvert my desperate attempts at rhyme-making. One exception, the poem, Senior ' s Luck, is to be sent to the dime museum and preserved for future generations. 1 , Grace Sullivan, will my diploma in expression to Flossie Jenkins. 1 , Eleanor Gourdin, lease my voice to Ada Harrall until she finishes her course in music. I, Mayrne Hunter, hereby bequeath my reserve, carefulness in speech and stateliness to Carrie Floyd. We, Eunice Ilallenger and Lillian Davis, being the most influential girls, will our influence to the College Faculty, to be dealt out to various individuals, as they deem expedient. I, Geneva West, will my cuteness to Lalla Reynolds. Few mistakes I have made, but she is at liberty to correct these and take such measures toward improve¬ ment as she thinks necessary. We, Lillian Proffit, and Ruth Crisp, hereby will our tact in making loafing attractive to Elsie Thompson and Ida “2” Preston. 1 , Mary Goddard, will my style in hair-dressing to Blanche Rose. 29

3ltt ittmnrg nf latrs In the study hall is a vacant place, One that we cannot fill. We miss the merry childlike face, And a voice we loved is still. But it ' s only a deep, a beautiful sleep, And the dead in Christ shall rise. She’s singing now at Jesus’ feet, In that home beyond the skies. And though our sumbeam could not stay, In our hearts she still shines bright; And who would call her back today—• Back from the realms of light ? Annie Sawteli.. 31
