:E IyA © I OOWO • lvQIS Eva Ballard, B. A. The girl who blushes is not quite a brute. One Christmas not so many years ago, Santa Claus carried a toy piano to a little girl in South Florida. This child was no other than Eva. She played such beauti- ful tunes upon it that even the mocking birds stopped singing to listen. She at- tended Randolph-Macon, but realizing the wonderful advantages of the Florida State College for Women, she decided to complete her education in Tallahassee. Blonza Cates, B. S. Of manners gentle, of affections mild. On the records of the world is found April 21st, 18 — , underlined in red in k. This is to signify that on this day Blonza Cates had been pleased to take up her residence on this earth in a little town called Tallahassee. Her first step was to file application for entrance to the Florida State College for Women, sit- uated in that town. Needless to say the institution considered itself fortunate and has never been disappointed.

IFttyAN© WsASl O WO Agnes Granberry, B. A. The time is out of joint: O cursed spite That ever I was born to set it right. Reader! Look long and seriously. At the age of two she could say the Greek alphabet, at four she had translated Homer ' s Illiad. In fact, she is so clas- sical that even her nose is Roman. Yea, she is all this and even more. In deep- est reflection, one is obliged to consider what a college would be without its Agnes. Picture to yourself a grand girl and you have almost seen her. Ethel Durst, B. A. Hark from the tomb a doleful sound. On a certain July 23rd, the world was startled by the low wailing of an infant. This wail was of such an intellectual tone that the presidents of all the most famous colleges immediately made appli- cation to be allowed the training of this young prodigy. Her parents, however, deemed it best that she should attend the State College of Florida. Hither she came. She has made medals her chief pursuit and some day intends to present her collection to the world. 17

:FVIy.A S l AX 0 ' WO 1x912 TBI Mary Mahon, B. A. Even her failings lean to virtue. In the first place Mary ' s father was a minister. In the second place there is found somewhere in Thorndyke ' s Psy- chology the Law of Heredity. There- fore Mary is a strong worker in the Y. W. C. A. She entered college as a Sophomore and has acquitted herself with credit throughout her entire course. Her Senior year, however, will ever be looked upon as her most famous, for she suddenly developed poetic qualities. Among her works is The History of the Class of T2, found in this volume. Joe Berta Bryan, B. A. The heart to conceive, the under- standing to direct, or the hand to exe- cute. If Joe Berta began to show any execu- tive ability as early as 1 894, the Kissim- mee record gives no evidence. The fact remains, however, that she possesses the said ability in abundance. She made her first public speech in that town in May, 1909. Since attending the State College at Tallahassee she has become noted for making speeches in chapel, while in the dining room, it is no longer necessary to have Mr. Kellum. 19
