were positively too good to be true. However we managed to take advantage of every single privilege. This year we elected Evelyn Lea for our Captain. Her staff is composed of Laurie Moore, Margaret Patterson, Helen Kennedy, Janie Martin, Lucille Belk, Ada Walker, De Ette Bennett and Sallie Pearce. It has taken hard pulling to keep things in the straight and narrow path but in some way the feat has been accomplished. Before Christmas and for a week afterwards we were all excited over the Inter¬ class basket-ball games. The Juniors didn’t worry us but oh those Sophomores! However every member of our team is a star player and we won the cup without so much trouble. By the time that joy had subsided we were up against Exam Rocks again. Bible and Ethics almost finished us but after a struggle we passed knowing much more afterwards than we had before. As soon as exams were safely in the distance the work again began in earnest on the ai ,ual. The finishing touches were put on and at last the 1922 Nods and Becks had gone to press. The Chicora Magazine and Spizzerinktum also furnished sources of pleasure to their respective staffs. All material always came in exactly on time— never any delay and work under such conditions is such a joy. (Isn’t it, Lucille and Evelyn ?) When the memories of Spring holidays faded we became interested in the Car¬ nival and Junior-Senior. When this class throws their whole soul into a thing much is accomplished. The Carnival therefore was a great success. The reception was immensely enjoyed and it was with deep regret that we left the Decks after three of the shortest yet happiest hours ever spent on the “Chicora.” As May 30, 1922 drew nearer and nearer we thought seriously of our diplomas. Until now they really seemed like some dream away in the future. At last they are real and we will with great joy and yet great sorrow receive the sheep-skins for which we have worked four long and occasionally tedious though short and happy years. With hearts full of happiness and sadness we go forth into the wide, wide world thinking most of all of what life holds for us. Our history is only in the making—in fact it has only commenced. Should I be called upon to again write the history of my class in future years it would indeed be a joy to be able to write that our dreams of to-day have been fulfilled and that each of us has attained her goal.

LUCILLE BELK, i r Bachelor of Arts Montreat, N. C. The gods have smiled on her.” There is no member of our class of whom it can be more truly said, that she possesses the ten talents, than of Lucille for, surely, the gods have smiled on her. She is a poet and musician and, when on long evenings she takes down her old guitar, she rescues us all from boredom and sways our moods as she wills by her clever songs. She has already begun to be heard from thru her poetry which is characterized by her high ideals and love of all things beautiful. Lucille has always been a girl on whom we could rely to take part in almost all college ac¬ tivities. She can wield an editorial pen to a finish and the Chicora Magazine is greatly in¬ debted to her, as editor-in-chief, for its won¬ derful improvement and success this year. Lucille is a student volunteer feeling that her life work is in Brazil. As we pause before we part on our different ways, Lucille, we, your many friends at old Chicora, wish you “Bon Voyage” on the sea of life and may your future be a repetition of success (in a larger field of en¬ deavor) that has been yours in your college career.
