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

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

MARIETTA LANGFORD. B. Mrs. Newberrv, S. C. “And lilce music on the waters Is thy siveet voice to me. Bill came to Chicora as a tiny girl with large bows of ribbon on her hair and short, full skirts.
