SUSIE EMMA JOHNSON, R. A. Atlanta. Ga. “One nuide up of loveliness alone. Susie came to Uhicora in her Sophomore year, and thereby missed one year of fun and frolic with her class. Tall, dark, with a world of merriment looking out of her dark ■•yes, Sr site has won friends among all classes by her lovable ways Rooming with her cousin, Judith Abraham, she has become one of the tribe of Abraham, a nickname ap¬ plied to Susie and Judith and Lena, the oc¬ cupants of room number two on third floor. Unselfish, good matured, kind, sympathetic, and true she is one of the most beloved girls in school. Her friends have nothing but good to say about her and her enemies do not exist. 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. During her college years she has won many friends by her sunshiny disposition. She thrills the world with a voice like the mocking-bird, and has been a strong member of the Glee Club for three years. She has been here for live years and has shown con¬ scientiousness in her work, and has formed a character “nobly planned to warn, to c unfort, and command.

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

RESUME MARY ISABELLE MAYES, K. Greenville, S. C. To strive, to seek ' , to find, and not to yield. Mary came to Chicora in January of 1910. Six representatives of tlic Sub-Fresh class of that year have worked with her through the live years of pleasure and toil. Steadfast, strong in character, conscientious, and lovable she has been an aid to her friends. Working hard at an appointed task, Mary is ready for a good time as soon as the task is done. Few girls will hold their places in the hearts of those with whom they come in daily con¬ tact as will this bright-minded Senior RUTH MORRISON, B. A., B Mus McColl, S. C. Her style is beautiful to see: Ah! when she deigns to strike the key. What trooping ecstasies she brings. And turns my thoughts from earthly things. I ,- or four years Ruth has been a student at Chicora College. In that time she has won many friends, but those who know her best love her best. Most people taking both the I!. . and B, Mus. degrees think they have no time for other things, but not so with Rufus ; she can always find time to sympathize or rejoice with those who need her. In return, though, she asks nobody ' s help. Independence is one of her most marked characteristics. In music she finds great pleasure, and upon it she has spent many hours of hard labor, even remaining faithful during the long winter months to that practice period at six o’clock in the morning. Her ability at the piano will doubtless win for her an honored and well-deserved place among the musicians of the day—unless some one interferes 19
