Doris Rebecca McDowell Harry, Literary Special. Salisbury, N. C. “There is no pleasure lil(e the pain of lov- ing and being loved.” Being very choice in what she does, Doris has always been one of those things you call specialist!—specializing, it is said, in ‘‘spooning,” her first victim actually being a member of our own class. His- tory, we think, is her favorite study, and it is marvelous the way she keeps dates— those of course she has down in the parlor on Saturday night. Willie Graham Boyd, Special, II. A. Townsville, N. C. “Happy am , from care I am free. Why aren't they all contented lil(e me?” Bill is always in a good humor and one for fun, but her sweetest smiles are ever reserved for the young men from David- son. She is an enthusiastic athelete, and is always on the job as center on the basketball team. She has fond hopes of becoming a famous teacher if she doesn’t have them side-tracked by joining a grand opera company. She is all to the good and liked by all who know her.

Her powers as a mimic, her ability to act and her ready wit make her no ordinary person. She has a passion- ate hankering for the use of sesquipedalion words in talking, and bids fair to become a second Webster. Is an ardent devotee of Cupid, and has one of the largest collec- tion of hearts to be seen anywhere. Her sweet disposition and personal magnetism has endeared her to a large number of friends. Mattie Adele Hines, A. V. C. M., IT. A. Warsaw, N. C. “If music he the food of love, play on. Vice-President Philharmonic Society. If you are looking for indifference, we have it here. Not even the nice situation of having a “steady” causes her to leave the quiet tenor of her ways. Especially gifted musically, we are expecting great things of her in her chosen profession.

Elizabeth Bulloch Hill Special, IT. A., 0. t . Raleigh, N. C. “ Where the stream runneth smoothest, the Ivater is deepest. Editor-in-Chief Annual 11-12. A certain poet said: “Old friends, like old wine, are best.” The class of 1912 might take issue with this poet, for it has found Elizabeth to be one of its most able members, although it has known her only one year. 1 he thirst for knowledge must have been very strong in her case since it induced her to leave Raleigh and A. and M. You will say, she is very small, and so she is, but into that small person is crowded much of earnestness, amiability and knowledge of Senior English. Ellen Peoples, Special I1. A. Charlotte, N. C. “To be good rather than to he conspicu- ous If she would only talk a little more and would only cultivate that indispensable thing, self-confidence, we would know more to tell you. But when we find a girl whose devotion to duty is only rivaled in strength by her sincerity to friends—and such a girl she is—we are glad to claim her as a member of our class. Ellen s specialty is History, and she can tell what all the Henrys and Edwards of England did.
