Sam is a rather quiet, unassuming person, whose real worth is not known to many except his closest friends. He lias devoted much of his time to English and Chemistry but his ma- jor work is History and Economics. For the past four years the Websterian Literary So- ciety has hail no member more loyal than he. He is a sincere friend and an industrious stu- dent. We are expecting great things of Sam and no doubt lie will wake up some fine morn- ing to find himself one of the competent ones of his time in whatever pursuit he may choose : . follow. An active eye, a ready wit, ami kindness withal. Age 2.5; Height, 5 ft. 9 in.; Weight 165 Websterian Society (1, ' , 3); President of S.hr-iv (3); Cuilfurd.an I!., aid ( .i ) ; V. M. C. A. Cabinet (3); Class President (3); College Marshal (3); Science Club (2, 3); Class Baseball; Class ICsket ball (2, 3); Biblical Seminar ( ' , 3); Track Team (J). The fact that only live hours work stood between A. J. and his diploma at the close of last year shows that he is an industrious student. You can always find him in the chemistry laboratory breaking test tubes or in the biology laboratory dissecting a cat. He is preparing to be a doctor some day and with his energy and determination we can easily predict a great future for him in his chosen field. He has been a faithful and loyal sup- porter of both Y. M. C. A. and Literary So- ciety. But A. J. decided to leave us at the end of his Junior year to continue his favor- ite studies at the State University and at tin- same time graduate with his old class. ANDERSON JONES SMITH B. S.

You always know that when she says a thing she will do it. She is a splendid supporter of all college activities and is true as gold. Rather frank in expressing her thoughts and always stands up for the thing that she thinks is right. Teeter is the most domestic girl of the class and her equal is rarely found in this line. V. W. C. A. work to her is the most pleasant college activity and she has meant more to the association than can he estimated. She is very optimistic, good natured, will do anything for her friends and a fortunate bunch are they.

He thinks that this world is a pretty nice place after all. and never is his face- dark- ened by a frown of ill-humor, or a cloud of pessimism.

RUTH REBECCA STANLEY A. B. Guilford College, N. C. ' Optimism never depressed a sunny dispos Age 20; Height, 5 ft. ,W 2 in.; Weight 115 Philomathean Society (2, .5. 41; Secretary (4): S, ience Club (J. .;. 4i ; Junior Hoi or Ruth joined us in Sophomore year. She i- a quiet, unassuming girl but a steady, thorough worker m anything she undertakes, especially in her class wurk. In Senior year she has ful- filled exceedingly well the duties of teaching in the graded school in addition to her college course. Whatever Ruth undertakes, she will fee it through creditably. Being a day stu- dent her part in college activities has not been 50 large as that of some hut her strong work in society lias proved her literary ability. The record book will show many A ' s which may lie termed as stars in her scholastic crown. ' Silence and modestx are the best ornaments of woman. Age 18; Height, 5 ft. 4 in.; Weight 98 Philomathean Society (2, 3, 4); Science Club (J, 3, ii; Sophomore Scholarship; lunior Honors; Brvn Mawi Scholarship Leah came to us heralded by worthy achieve- ment embodied in a Guilford High School Scholarship. Her subsequent record has am- ply justified the promise of her high school days, for in the Sophomore year the scholar- ship just naturally fell into her hands; since which time the honors which the days firing have been hers. Ikr modesty and demure- ness have not been obstacles in attaining her desire which being interpreted is A ' s. Though her course has largely been a study ol the grand old masters, themes of a more mod- ern character have held no terrors for her. Leah is a quiet thinker, a Conscientious stu- dent, a successful worker. Her characteris- tics are not such as to make her widely known but that chosen circle of friends knows how to value her loyalty and devotion. LEAH ELLEN STANLEY A. B. Guilford College, N. C.
