EP1 I i c RESUME HEX KEE CATHERINE BUCHANAN. B. A. Win nsjjqro, S. C. Her voice was like tlic voice the stars Had when they sane together. All who know Little Buc will agree that precious things always come in small pack¬ ages. Always studious, though always read) for a little fun at the right time, she has won a place in the hearts of all who have known her during her live years at Chicora. She believes in the motto: “Better to wear out than to rust out, and we feel sure that her voice will never rust out. “.When that midnight choo-choo leaves for Alabam. seems to he her favorite song, and as she sings it she smiles and thinks of the time when she will leave on it—not by herself. Henkee was horn in Winnsboro, S. C.—we don’t know the date, hut we think it was A. D. instead of B. C. MARY LELAXD EDMUNDS, B. Mus. Con oarer, S. C. The violet droops its soft and bashful brow. But from its heart szt ' eet incense fills the air. So rich within—so pure ivithout—art thou. With modest mien and soul of -virtue rare. This wonderful specimen hails from the wilds of Congaree. Mary is really too ir¬ repressible to he expressed, and has caused admiration and wonder during her entire college career. She is entitled to renown in many spheres, especially for her musical ability, being quite accomplished, and winner of the vote for the best musician. But she probably has no more important claim for attention than in basket-ball playing, and the numerous victories which she has had part in during her athletic career. She is indis¬ pensable to the welfare of both varsity and class team, and was voted to be our best athlete. Her chief difficulty seems to consist in realizing the heart-rendering responsi¬ bilities though not the importance of Senior- hood. mong her greatest pleasures might be mentioned that of a crush, and her daily from L r .

Le EE s ALMER HARENTINE, B. A. Society Hill, S. C. With merrymaking eyes and jocund smile. Only two years has Ai.meu been at f ' hicora, but what a great deal she has accom¬ plished ! With her fun-loving soul brimming over to all around, she goes on her way. Still Almer is not a scatter-brain, for the quality of her gray matter makes itself known in her class work. The class considers her an addition, and she repays its trust by enter¬ ing with zest all the class pursuits, whether it be hard lessons, athletics, or fun. STELLA BETHUNE. B. Mrs. Bethune, S. C. “Her voice is her charm. The huge city of Bethune has the honor of being Stella’s birthplace. We shall not give the date of her birth, however, for we would have to refer to ancient history to get this information. Stella is one of the best hearted girls in school, and we wish her the success that will be hers, unless some one changes her “dream of fame.’’ She is a steady, conscientious worker in the classroom, and a good all-round girl. Would we had more like Stella. Long may her friends enjoy her musical talent, and let us hope that Bob will be among them. [ 13

Le IcL E S V ME ELIZABETH FANT, B. Mus. Silver Street, S. C. Such a one do I remember, Whom to look on was to love. “Betsy came to Chicora as a tiny girl who wore big bows of ribbon on her hair, and entered the Second High School. For two years she wrestled with Math and Latin, but she threw these aside when she became a Freshman, and devoted her entire time to music. Her voice is a lovely soprano, and has afforded many plesant hours to those listen¬ ing. All the girls would do well to follow in the footsteps of this fellow-student. She has an unassuming manner which has won for her many dear and true friends, and she is also very popular with the opposite sex. MARGARET GRAHAM. B. A., Expression Gourdin, S. C. Impossible is a -word to he found only in the dictionary of fools. We feel sure that Margaret must have had, with Solomon, the opportunity of choosing— and wisdom was her choice. In no other way can we account for the many wonderful thoughts that creep into this tiny head, yet ever so large. She is made of ambition and clothed with perseverance. She has always had the admiration and confidence of the entire student body. Always a very active member of the Y. W. C. A., she has had offices thrust upon her in great numbers. We hate to give Margaret up, but we know that such influence as hers is needed elsewhere in the world. Chicora is better for having had her these past few years. ” ’Tis better to have had and lost than never to have had at all
