E P E L WE I S S MARY YORKE JOHNSTON, B. A., II A EXPRESSION GRADUATE CHARLOTTE, N. C. Vice-President, 1911-42; Historian, 1912-’13 and 1913-T4; Varsity Basket-Ball, 1913-T4; President Athletic Association, 1914-T5; Athletic Editor of Edelweiss, 1914-’15; President Stu- flent Body, 1914-'15. “The Guardian Angel” Coming to Queens when “a little girl in short dresses, Mary Yorke has passed through all the ups and downs of college life and finally reached the land of promise, “Scniordom. She is enthusiastic and thoroughly interested in the col- lege, and, although a good student, seldom do we see her in a serious mood—not even a logic test disturbs the even tenor of her way. As the president of the student body she has shown her efficiency and ability, and we feel that she is a fair representative of 1915’s best. JULIA HARRIS, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. Treasurer Class, 1913-T4; Vice-President Class, 1914-T5; Prophet Class, 1914-45. “The Well Beloved” Julia is the most dignified of all the dignified Seniors. Her power of concentration is envied, especially by the members of Senior Study Hall, and the result of this is plainly seen on recita- tion, when she answers questions that fairly daze the rest of us. In spite of her seeming reserve, there often arises in her a sense of the ridiculous so keen that she even enjoys a joke on herself. Although thoroughly surprising, Dame Rumor has it that Julia, upon leaving the guardianship of Queens College, will be one of the first to enter the state of matrimony.- 23

E P ELWEI S S FLORA BELLE PORTER, B. A., r 2 CHARLOTTE, N. C. “My Lady Caprice A nice fat child with a cheerful disposition and a tip-tilted nose—that’s Flora. She’s a faithful worker, a thorough optimist, and one of the most likeable girls of our class. Her name shows her position in the social world, and, like “Abou Ben Adhem,” we put her down as ‘‘a lover of her fellow men. KATHERINE WHITFIELD KENDRICK, B. A., II A CHARLOTTE, N. C. “What Katie Did! Attention, girls, Kate’s going to speak! Listen ! for you know she has something important to say. A great change has been wrought in Kate— before the statistics were taken she had more to say than any girl at Queens, but now her words are rare and few and far between. She’s an expert at getting around the faculty, and we all know it takes brains to be a good bluffer. All joking aside, Kate is a line “old girl,” with a big heart and a generous hand. 22

E P E L WE I S S ETHEL TROTTER, B. A., n A CHARLOTTE, N. C. 'Happy-Go-Lucky” Yes, she has an abundance of curls, and they are every one natural, too! When this little curly-haired girl first entered college, we soon discovered that she was one of the few who possessed a psychological mind, and although slow to anger, when aroused she will give you a piece of the same. Ethel is a born housekeeper, and gifted in culinary arts: and, as this is a very effective way of reaching a young man’s heart, we feel that her fate is sealed. WILLIAM VASHTI HOGGARD, B. A., n A WINDSOR, N. C. Varsity Basket-Ball Team, 1910-’ll and 1911- 12; Captain Varsity Basket-Ball Team, 1914-’15. “The Joy Bringer Who would think that Vashti, of the golden hair and merry laugh, was a serious student of stern history! Yes, Vashti rarely worries, and, in spite of her historical work, finds time to take a prominent part in athletics. Indeed, she is happiest and at her best when she has a basket- ball tight under her arm ! The radiance of her hair is reflected in her bright disposition, which is not weighed down even by Ethics, hut ever bubbles up in a way that wins all hearts. 24
