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

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 .

ES3 © Le LESV M E 2N323 MARION GRAHAM, B. A. Greenville, S. C. A bright, particular star:” After completing her Freshman year at Chicora, Marion must needs go see the world, and so she spent one year at Belmont College, in Tennessee, and one at Mary Baldwin Seminary, in Virginia. But Marion grew tired of wandering, grew homesick for Green¬ ville. So when her Senior year began she was hack at Chicora. Here her sunny smile, even disposition, and friendly ways have won her many friends. Few are the girls in her class that have made higher marks, and, when others are floundering in Ethics and Science. Marion comes out with her colors flying. She is loyal to her class, true to her classmates; and these qualities win friends, and hold them. MAY GRAHAM. B. L Gourdin, S. C. ' And on that cheek, and o ' er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent. The smiles that ivin, the tints that glow. But tell of days in goodness spent. A mind at peace with all below. A heart whose love is innocent.” Five years ago Mai came to “old Chicora, entering as a Sub-Freshman. At once she won a place in the hearts of all; a place which she has kept during these four long years. Though gentle and quiet, she has ever been keenly alive to every phase of college life. May has been noted for her strict ob¬ servance of all college rules, and possesses a remarkable ability for keeping study hall. Possessed of a sweet and lovable disposition, she has ever proved herself a good all¬ round girl, an earnest and diligent student, a true and faithful friend.” 16
