Madoe Annie Conwell, AlaUiuKnii Mexico , D. F. A spring of lovo gushes from my lieart And I blessed them unawares. Vna Nina deliciosa very aplly clcscribcs I he dohghtful, dignified little maid that Old .Mexico pri ' sented to our class. She seems to bear in her disposition and character the bright sunshine and t lie perfumed zephyrs of the Tropics. Although she is distinctly American in her character, Madge is uncil Illusive, gentle, quiet and thoughtful. She p.ississcs that rare quality of being a charming lislciier. She is an excellent student and is so recognized by her classmates. We i)r( ' (licl, a future full of promise for Dr. Conwell in licr chosen profession, and we congratulate her Uiith in the choice of a friend so loyal and true. M. RY Emma Long, Lucalian Severn, N. C. To study hard, think quickly, speak gently, and to express her thoughts frankly is a ver- bal .Jpicture of Mary Emma Long. She has been witfc us three years and has made strong friends of all with whom she comes in touch. She is a student with a fixed purpose, and this purpose has been one of securing the best results from her college work. She is the poet of her class, and deserves that distinction on account of her poetical talent. Duty has been the ruling motive with her, and this motive has made her the good student, the keen debater, and the deep .thinker that she is. May her type never be lacking iri ' the student body of Chowan College.

Rennie Geneva Spivey, Liicalkin riropnsborn, N. C. Ill soul sincpi-p, in actiiin raithful, in lionur clear. Tliis modest girl fame to us from Cii ' oensboro , and is of the finest type. During her college life she has made no great strides for honors, but she has worked her way to the top. She has made herself felt in everything she has undertaken, be it in society or athletics. Rennie has a reputation fcir being perfectly original and is always ready to assist in any new idea. The last report of her in this line was the brave sally she made to the town hall, and the idea which she received the following day. Her practical thinking brain will serve to ]ilace her among the brightest gems that help to make the weak happy and strong. Lf)X ' isB Cooke N ' ann, Liinilidii Winlon, X. C. Xobly ])lanneil, to warn, In i-oriifort and cnin- mand. Louise is the baby of nur class, but let us hasten to add that this means in years, not in intellect, for in the latter she is among the fore- most. She is an excellent student, concentrating all of her powers on the work to be done. Outside of the classroom she has an entirely different per- sonality; then she is ready to enjoy any fiui or outdoor sport. Her unlimited cheerfulness and keen sense of humor give her an unusual capacity for enjoying to the fullest extent both her woi ' k and recreation. No one was ever more of a leader by nature than is Louise. This gift of leadership, her utter fearlessness in the face of criticism, an i her great enthusiasm make her an almost impar- alleled society worker. In the four years that we have known Louise we have learnetl to love as well as to greatly admire her and, whether she shines in society, behind the footlights or in the cnnrtroom, we wish her the greati ' sl suc ' ce.ss.

Tna Lorraine Whitk, Alalhinean Severn, X. C Her hair is red. Her eyes are blue; She ' s what she is Through and through. Ahhough Una may be called Socrates, she is not so grave as he. When passing her room one (ill en hears, with delight, her babyish laugh. She delights in all kinds of fun and especially does she like to plan jokes; but when the joke is being carried out she is as innocent as a babe and her eyes widen in wonder. But for all her mischief making Una is a studious girl. To hear her recite a German lesson one would think her to be a genu- ine daughter of the Fatherland. On account of her great imaginative ability she was asked to write the prophecy of her class. We will now leave her with the Fates to see her future and ours. Et-i HiTH H.WKs, Liiriilidi, Vauv. X. ( ' . .Id iiiT heart can ne ' er be buuglil nor Howe ' er it beats, it beats sincerely. Etta is a composite girl inasmuch as she is both a humorist and a poet. She waxes poetical at the slightest provocation, but in her poetical flights she measures out the largest words in the smallest spaces, and is as much amused thereby as her classmates. She sees the humor in living, in friends, and discovers a funny side lo every event in life; nevertheless she is a iiuiid of strong person- ality and fixed opinions and does strong college work. Sometimes she is referred to as airish but in playing ba.sketball she forgets her airs and makes her opponents understand that they are up against a solid proposition. With her many sided character we look for a successful lif work.
