E V E LWE I S MARGARET BARNETTE NEWELL, B. M., IT A NEWELL, N. C. Supervisor Pierian Delta Society, 1912-13; V. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1913-T4; Treasurer Y. W. C. A., 1914-’15; Treasurer Pierian Delta Society, 1913-44 and ’15; Cheer Leader, 1914-45; Club Editor Edelweiss, 1914-45; Annual Member of Student Department of Y. W. C. A. “Peg o’ My Heart” When in trouble and in need of help apply to Margaret Newell, the friend of all, usually found in the library or conservatory. Margaret is an enthusiastic Y. W. C. A. worker and a loyal “Pie,” even though she does often leave before the meeting is over; however, we excuse her, as she generally returns with a beaming countenance and a huge box of candy. In spite of being a con- scientious worker for that terrible B. M., she always finds time to be a good old sport. HESTER WHITE, English Certificate HARTFORD CITY, IND. “The Girl of the Golden West” Hester, by her quaint speech, proclaims herself a typical Westerner; yet her winning smile and gentle manner have endeared her to her Southern classmates. Being an ardent follower of fashion, 11 ester always makes a favorable impression; the most striking feature of her appearance is her bright blue eyes shining under her stylishly tilted hat. Possessing a strong will and plenty of self- confidence, she will, in our opinion, ever succeed.

E P E L WE I S S MAGGIE YORKE HOUSTON, B. M., II A MONROE, N. C. Varsity Basket-Ball Team, 1913-’14; Treasurer Class, 1914-15 “A Bud of Promise As a charmer, Yorke is irresistible, and when it comes to dancing, her sparkling brown eyes keep up with her “light, fantastic toe. Too full of life to spend much time on books, nevertheless, by her quick insight and cleverness, she manages to come out with flying colors. As an athlete, she is one of the best, and always displays true sports- manship. Whatever may be Yorke’s future, she carries with her our best wishes for success in life—and of course in love. EVELYN BOYD, B. M., II A ROANOKE RAPIDS, VA. Vice-President Class, 1913-44; Grind Editor of Edelweiss, 1914-’15. “Mrs. Red Pepper ’ Look twice! Don’t be mistaken ! Yon glisten- ing object is not the sun but only “Snippy’s’’ crown of glory. Her hair is no brighter than her disposition, and she goes around gladdening the hearts of all, ever being the center of a merry group. Her witty sayings and ability to mimic always make her attractive and entertaining. Besides these gifts, perhaps the greatest is her musical talent, as “her very foot has music in't as she comes up the stair.

The struggle was a hard one, but our boat was steered by the hands of our capable president to the safe, smooth-sailing waters of the second semester. Then in the distance a little dark spot appeared, proving to be an island, which was as welcome to us as an oasis to a desert traveler. This was the first stop our boat. The Knowledge Seeker, had made, and the name of the port was “Annual Reception.'1 The night spent there was very pleasant, and, by the assistance of Dan Cupid, lasting acquaintances were formed. The following morning, with backward glances we set sail and continued our way. While drifting peacefully along, we were overtaken by a steamer, and recognized among the passengers on board our old friend, St. Valentine. At our invitation, he transferred his passage to our boat and attended the party which we gave that night to our sister class, the Juniors. We enjoyed his visit extremely, but he was obliged to return to his ship at midnight, very much to the sorrow of all concerned. Our ship was carried by favorable winds very swiftly over the peaceful sea, but soon a dark cloud appeared and a fearful storm raged for several days. This was the critical week of final exams, and some of our weaker classmates fell overboard and were lost in spite of all our efforts to save them. Time passed, and soon we were no longer Freshmen, but had sailed out into the deep sea of the Sophomore year. The places of those who had been lost in the waves were filled by quite a number of new girls, who joined us at several of the ports along the way. By this time we had become accustomed to the trials and tribulations which must he endured by those who board The Knowledge Seeker, and the year went by a little more rapidly than the pre- 28
