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

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

Le ELE S V M E XITA HUXTER, B. Ped. O WINGS, S. C. “For when she wilt, she will; And you can depend on ’ . And when she won’t, she won ' t; And there’s an end on ’t.” X it a joined our band in January, 1912. At sight of her our hearts were won’. The first glance at her might make you think she was a quiet girl. Be not deceived! When once you have seen that mischievous light dancing m her eyes, when she is seriously telling a joke on you, you will realize that she loves fun with the rest of us. Xita has a calm and serene expression and often appears indiffer¬ ent, but to those who know her she is a girl of warm and generous nature. She is what she is, there is no hypocrisy about her. She is very independent, and, beware, lest you trample upon her rights! ! The fortune-teller predicts that this girl will become a great worker in a mill village—well—“amor omnia vincit.” MARIE AXTOIXETTE JACKSOX, B. A. Dillon, S. C. There was place and to spare, for the frank young smile, And the red young mouth, and the hair ' s young gold. 7 his is our efficient business manager. Marie has been with us for four years, but it was not until our Junior year that we awoke to her true worth. It was then that she was elected class president, and ever since she has always been first in our hearts. Besides being the sweetest and best all¬ round girl in school, this lady with the bright tresses has shown her literary and business ability by holding and capably discharging the duties of President of Palladian Literary Society” and “Business Manager of Le Resume. Her hair displays her sunny dis¬ position. and her arrival anywhere is marked by sunshine and good cheer. Wherever she may be, and whatever may be her task, Marie is sure to succeed, and our love and hearty good wishes will ever follow our beloved class president. 17
