Another follower of the bobbed hair brigade However, in spite of the childish appearance that short. hair gives her. Edna is really very dignified and studious. When it comes to His- tory she is a genius and we believe that she will become sozne day a famous professor. Edna is also artistically inclined. and they say she has worked wonders in Mrs. Sease's Art. Department. She is very modest and retiring, but, nevertheless, we pre- dict for her a life brimful of joy and Carolina iovsf' XVILLTE Cnnws And 71,0 fczrthcr seeks his merit to 1I'iscZosc.

He always gets there, and, there- fore. he can be depended upon to produce the goods at the psychological moment. XVe never heard him say anything about the ladies pro or con, but, still water runs deep. THELMA OALLIE BIILES Silence is more cloqucnt than spccchf' Age 165 Height 5' 5w g Weight 132 A. A. Dramatic Club, Literary Society. Thelma is another one of our girls who is ath- letically inclined and she is especially interested in basket ball. She is not satisfied however with shin- ing in athletics alone for she is also an active mem- ber of the Dramatic Club. Don't get the impression however that she is all seriousness because she is one of our funniest girls in spite of her quietness. XVc hope that Thelma will be as fortunate making friends through college as she has been in high school. XTESTA Moya MllLlIClLL.ANI7 sis Iii the bcst of company while alone. Age 163 Height 5' 9 g Weight 120. A. A. 1. 2, 3, 43 Literary Society, 43 Dra- matic Club, 4g Hi-Y, 3, 4, Glee Club, 4. Like all good children Sis is Seen and never heard. If you had visited Society one Friday night when Sis declaimed, you would have thought that you were some general, reviewing an army. His knees were keeping perfect rhythm to Yankee Doodle. But Sis is one who will keep digging, and. some day he will be a convincing speaker. Some day. probably Sis will be the one who will be sent to deliver you from your bed of sickness. LILLIE AIAY HAI-:ms In, thy heart thc clew of youth. Age 165 Height 5' 2 g Weight 110. Here's to Lillie! Blue eyes, dimples, curls and just loads of beauxl Lillie's always so generous about her mirrors and powder putts and since they're a girl's dearest possessions she is undoubtedly gen- erous about everything else. Half of us sit up in awe listening to her various tales about boys and things and besides Lillie's a fine stenographer and we predict the fulfillment of her ambition. Page 7'iecnty-four

Too mueh can not be said about Slim, He is always ready to back up the cooperative class in whatever it attempts to do. He is an ardent ad- mirer of foot-ball and gives his hearty support to all athletics. Slim also likes the girls, being dif- ferent in this way from some of his elassinates. As his ambition is nothing, we hardly know how to figure his career in life. But we know by his motto. that he will do all that may become il inan Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be :1 friend to man. BIABEL Tuoxms XYICKICRS E.reeeclingly fair she was not. and yet in that she never studied to be fairer. Age 173 Height 5' 2 g Vlfeight 100. Mabel, congratulations on your ambition. lVe're sure that. under XOIII' competent hand things will flourish in the future just as they have done. YVe've heard that Mabel is also gifted with some talent in the musical line: just what the instrument is we ean't say, but be that as it may Mabel's a mighty fine girl! Page Twenty-fire
