Martha Watkins Flournoy, A B. Charlotte, N. C. “For 1 had hope, by something rare, To prove myself a poet: Hut, while I plan and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it.” Pierian Literary Society; Literary Editor of Annual, ’10; Poet of Class, ’10: Class Basket Ball, ’09. Having spent ten years of her life in preparation, Martha entered the Sopho- more class of old P. C. in September, '07. In that year she won both athletic and academic honors. W hen called upon to elect her course, she chose Mathematics and Latin, both of which are in general disfavor at P. C. In her Junior year she carried off the first honor; in her Senior year, she was chosen class poet and literary editor of the annual. Now, as we come to the parting of our ways, our best wish for her is that she may be as successful in the future as she has been in the past. Lula Jay Harris, B L Charlotte, N. C. I know you have a gentle, noble temper, a soul as even as a calm.” Member Gamma Sigma Society; Class Monitress, ’OT-’OS; Secretary Gamma Sigma Society; Marshal, ’08-’09; Class Monitress, ’09-’l(). As a country grieves over the loss of its landmarks, so P. C. mourns the passing of Lula-Jay. Nuje years ago she began the strenuous days of P. C. life. She came, a little girl with bobbed hair and short skirts; now she is “grown up” and tall and stately. Long tried, she has been found true. She is capable, has a merry disposi- tion and is loved by all. Her going forth will leave a vacant place in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

 Anna Meta Buchanan, A B Laurinburg, N. C. “Faithful, gentle, and good, Wearing the rose of womanhood.” Pierian Society. This little lady first went to Peace, but finding there was nothing in the name, decided to come to P. C. Here she has distinguished herself as a vocalist. It is wonderful what a charm her voice has for some of the medical students. She is bright, cheerful and merry. She smiles all day in spite of her Trig., and does not even frown over Logic and English. Louise Flournoy, A. B. ( T-T APU TTP N. C. ora her soul.” an Literary Society. „ ears ago, Louise came from C. H. . to continue her search for knowledge at P. C. She soon learned that with knowledge comes sorrow, and she has not forgotten it yet. Nevertheless, she has pursued the quest faithfully, and her name has always held a high place on the Honor Poll. Her most striking characteristic is her love of arguing, which is not invariably appreciated.

Florence Jamison, A B Charlotte, N. C. “Her gentle speech and modest ways Left others to accord her praise.” Marshal, ’07; Annual Stair, ’07; Vice-President Gamma Sigma Society, '08; Secretary Gamma Sigma Society, ’09; Vice-President. Gamma Sigma Society, ’10: Historian of Class, HO; Business Manager Annual, HO. One of the girls that P. C. is proud to claim, came within her walls as a dainty little maid in September, ’06. Her sweet disposition makes her beloved by all who know her; she has been voted the neatest girl in school, and since coming here, she has not only drunk deeply of the spring of knowledge, but also distinguished herself as an artist of rare talent. She has showed her ability to study, and in her Senior year she has proved herself a girl of great business capacity by her faithful work as Business Manager of the Edelweiss. Cora Jordan Derita, N. C. “ller look composed and steady eye Hespoke a matchless constancy.” Pierian Literary Society. The old theory that only cities can pro- duce great geniuses has been disproved by this case of one of our Senior pianists, who was born and bred in the country. She has been at P. C. three years, and in this time has become fitted into the regular routine of practise and study, so that in future years when the noise of pianos and organs no longer greets her ears and she cannot go up street twice a week, we fear she will be bored by the quiet country life. But no doubt her future career as a singing- school teacher will furnish variety enough! 17 2
