R,ESl ME( M RC A RET N ' ICKELL, B. Art. Nickell ' s Mill, W. Va. By winning words and smiles to conquer ' willing hearts. Dug out of the coal fields of West Virginia, Nick” came to us in 1910. From the first moment she smiled upon us she won our hearts. She was always known as the sunniest girl in school, and we hope this characteristic will go with her through the rest of her life. She cys” deeply when thinking of leaving Chicora, but when her thoughts wander to the “ruf mountains and gray clouds of West Virginia, her smiles broaden, showing the dimples more plainly. CLEO NORRIS, L. I. Golden Grove, S. C. Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy. This maxim seems to have been proven in Cleo’s case, for she has gone into the very heart of things in Ethics, and daily has given recitations on that formidable science with great ease and precision. We see the qualities in her for a good teacher. Cleo and her sister, Jessie, have been a good addition to our class during the last year of our work together. We know that Cleo will be equally as good in what she undertakes after she has completed her course at Chicora. 21
