E P E L WE I S S ELLA MOSELEY, 1!. A., r 2 CHARLOTTE, N. C. Assistant Hditor-in-Chief, 1914-15; President Gamma Sigma Society, 1914-'15. “A Lady of Quality” Ella is one of the few members of our class who has not been nicknamed, probably because she’s so “Ella-vated” and dignified. She is not like other girls in that she professes to hate boys and says she’s not afraid of mice. She has a logical mind, for did not “Or. Jimmy” himself once say that she “deserved a feather in her cap”! Endowed with good looks, musical talent, unusual mental ability, and practical sense, she is indeed fortunate—this petite maiden. JANE CARVER JOHNSON, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. Secretary Class, 1914-’15: Assistant Business Manager of Edelweiss, 1914-M5; Intersociety Debater, 1914-’15. Her Majesty Here, readers, is a girl who can when she wants to—who does when she has to—hut who doesn’t because she likes to. Tall and stately Jane, with her poise and maidenly reserve, lias commanded admiration from all during her sojourn at Queens College. She is rather strong- willed, and, once convinced of a fact, takes her stand as a stone wall and heeds not the argu- ments of her classmates. Perhaps there’s more truth than poetry in the following little rhyme: “Who’s so fair, who’s so rare As Miss Jane Johnson? Her intellect clear, she knows no fear. And she herself is a downright dear.” 20

E P E L WEI S S MARY SANDERS HOWELL, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. President Class, 1913-T4; Historian Class, 1914- 15; Vice-President Pierian Delta Society. “Sense and Sensibility In every class there stand out a few girls who arc horn leaders, and “Sanders” is one of these. She is a girl whom all students admire, upon whom the faculty rely, and whose departure from Queens will leave a large vacancy. She is always in good spirits, very enthusiastic, and liberally endowed with good looks. But of all her gifts, the greatest is her conversational powers—for only on rare occasions does she allow that tongue to cease! With such splendid abilities, we predict that the future holds for our classmate whatsoever she may demand. MARY WILLIAMS CARSON, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. Secretary and Treasurer Class, 1910-T1; Presi- dent Class, 1911-,12. Love y Mary We love her, not only for “her smile, her look, and her way,” but for her sincerity, which is one of her strongest traits. With her charming per- sonality and sweet simplicity, Mary has made many friends during her college days. Not that her admirers are confined to Queens alone; indeed, sometimes we become alarmed at what seems to be a chronic state of “heart trouble.” However, we have come to the conclusion that this is caused by mere “passing fancies.” We might say quite a deal more about Mary, but we do not want to spoil so sweet a child. 19

E P ELWEIS ANNE ALEXANDER GRAHAM, TL A., F 2 CHARLOTTE, N. C. Grind Editor Edelweiss, 1914-'15; Inter- society Debater, 1914-15. “IL u Wisdom Did you hear that racket in Senior Study Hall? Well, you can be sure that Anne's there, and that it’s her ridiculous remarks and absurd “carryings on” that has caused the commotion. Having a cheery disposition, a laugh that’s infectious, and a keen sense of humor, naturally she’s always in demand. As for her views concerning matrimony, she leaves us in no doubt, but very emphatically declares that she's tired of writing “Miss Anne Graham. When we look back and realize how much joy she has added to our college days, with deep feeling we say, “ 1 less her heart. MARTHA LOUISE JAMISON, L . A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. Junior Literary Editor Edelweiss, 1913-’14: Editor-in-Chief Edelweiss, 1914-'15; Intersociety Debater, 1914-’15. “Our Mutual Friend A “Martha,” as we know, is ofttimes “cum- bered with many cares. and this Martha, as Editor-in-Chief of the Annual with its thousand and one petty duties, is no exception to the rule. Howeyer, she keeps her head, takes it seriously, and yet comes out of it all, the same happy Martha. Her energy and enthusiasm are conta- gious, so naturally her very presence will always make things go.” Tactful and winsome in her manner, Martha is a wholesome, genuine type of the Southern college girl at Queens.
