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
