Ruth Myrtle Eley, A.B. Woodland, N. C. Lucaliari A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Here is one of our most loyal girls. For five long years she has faithfully stood by her work here. Myrtle is a bright girl, and if she could only be still long enough to concentrate her mind there would not be anything impossible to be accom- plished by her, not even the solving of the most difficult ])roblems in mathematics. She never takes anything seriously, and even during oxaminafioiis not one minute of her allotted time (nv iiiini|iiiifi; is used in studying. Myrtle always .sees I he hoi in everybody and overlooks faults. Fur this virtue and because of her kindness to all, she is a favor- ite. We feel sure that some day she will be an honor to her Alma Mater. Janie Carroll Fdtrell, A.B. Conway, N. C. Lucalian Quiet waters run deep. This tlear blue-eyed maiden is characterized by her unreserved dignity and profound thinking. She never speaks unless she has something worth say- ing. Some call her quiet, but they mean in maii- ners only, for no girl in school possesses the quick- ness for learning that does Janie. During her four years ' stay with us, she has never been known to become tired of her work. She always laughs at her difficulties and rides victoriously on to her goal.

Mary Morris Alston, A.B. Powellsville, N. C. Alathhtean She hath a natural, wise sincerity, A simple truthfulness, and these have lent her A dignity as marvelous as the center. The Class baby in appearance and years, lov- able and charming, Mary has won many hearts in the four years she has been with us. She is noted, too for her dignity. Xot only has she been one of the leaders in her literary work, but she has also the art of charming people with her mu- sic. Unselfish, gentle and thoughtful, the more you know her, the better you like lior. With these and her other charms of person and character, who can help loving her? Lucy Hixes Elliott, A.B. Rich Sciuarc, X. C. LiiciiUdn The reason firm, the temperate will. Endurance, foresight, strength and skill. Lucy has been with us only two years, but in that short time she has so thoroughly adapted her- self to college life that one would think she had spent the ciistfnnary four years. She takes much interest in sipciriy ;inil class work, and performs every task as miir.l in Ikt with enthusiasm. By her ambition ami i i i, ii ' nt industry she has suc- ceeded in becoming one of our strongest gu ' ls in both intellect and character. She has unusual foresight and a strong will, but in addition to this, she is kind and thoughtful and very con- siderate of the welfare of others.

Rosa Futrell, B.L. Conway, N. C. Alalhinmn ' True worth is in being, not seeming. There is not a girl in the Class who is kinder hi-aitcil or wliii more generously performs little lilts iif kiiiihirss tlian Rosa. She gets more done :iiiil says Irss aliDut it than most of us. Her neat- iiiss, ihtinity and her ready blush are her most ilisiiiiguishing characteristics. In basketball, she lia gicat skill, and is always on the alert. Rosa is sweet, gentle and winning. Although she does not take every one into her confi- deuce, yet when she once makes you her friend, you may count on her being very loyal to you. She has an unusual store of knowledge, for she has been here long enough to take everything in the college course that she could not get out of. The longer you know her the better you like her. To know her is to love her. Hilda M.ay Johnson, A.B. ' indsor, N. C. Alathincati Her voice was ever gentle, sweet and low — An excellent thing in woman. Hilda J. is the most studious girl of her ilhi.s- trious class. Her motto has always been Duty before pleasure. Sometimes when her classmates are taking life easily, she may be found poring over the dreary pages of Ed. II or solving the most difficult problems of mathematics, and she never gives up mtil she has conquered them. Her most striking characteristic is her love for practice, and for two years we have missed hearing her voice only once from .5:1.5 to 6:00 p. m. But after her duties are all ended her merry laugh may be heard ringing through the corridors, and it is perfect pleasiu ' e to be in her presence. During her entire college career she has found only one girl whom she really loved, but having to be separated from that one, she has resolved never to try it again.
