Sulligent, Ala. And. her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden fleece And many Jasons come in quest of her. If you can’t answer a question, no matter what [he subject may be, or write a card of thanks for a ball ticket, just ask Ottie, she can tell you. In her °ngue is the law of kindness. By her face and s Peech she has won many admirers. She is a thorough student, and a more loyal and able one can- not be found. Ottie, however, proclaims not her °wn virtues but those of others. B. A. Degree. “A maiden never bold; Of spirit so still and quiet that her motion Blushed at herself ” Fredda is the only town girl in the Senior class and enjoys the freedom which she says does her no good(?). She is very quiet, modest and obliging, and her sweet voice charms all who heart it, as did the Sirens’ song in olden days. She is a conscientious student and can even answer questions in Senior History. We don’t know much about her past, ex- cept that sometimes in the dim ages of antiquity she taught school. But at present, she is occupied in carrying messages from the H. C. girls to their town friends. M. L. Degree. 21

Historian Motto — “I ch kann” Colors — Black and Gold Flower — Black eyed Susan Linda Mae Bridgers Raymond For herein Fortune shows herself more kind Than is her custom ” “Miss Lindy,” our President, came to Hillman in 1908. At the beginning of every session since, she has taken up her duties with that same wide- awake spirit that characterizes her every action. She has won the love and admiration of all her fellow students. Already they are wondering how they can do without her next session. She has made herself felt in every phase of college life, for she is a girl who can bring things to pass. She has been made president of every organization that she is a member of, from chafing dish clubs to the Lesbian Society. She is the only member of our class who will get both a B. A. degree and a diploma in music. We predict for her a great future as a music teacher. B. A. Degreee and Diploma in Music. 20

TJFlEs PIONEER? Ruby Hammack Flora “She ' s beautiful and therefore to be woo ' d, She ' s a woman and therefore to be won This precious stone, a veritable Kohinoor in size, was found in Madison County one September, not so many years ago. Her first polish was received in the Flora High School and her two years in Hillman have given her a wonderful lustre. During her first year here we thought she would be a “Saint,” but she seems to have decided to be a gem of great “Price.” In Chemistry and “Stute” receptons Ruby shines, likewise in midnight feasts and Sunday School. Always good natured, oblig- ing and altogether charming, she has won the hearts of all who know her. M. L. Degree. Chalybeate “ She passes praise : then praise too short doth blot.’ Lela always sees the good qualities in every- thing, and is one of the most unselfish girls in the class. She is cheerful, helpful and sympathetic, hut in spite of all these virtues, Lela is quite modest. Although she realizes her position in the Senior row, yet we hear the almost involuntarily reheasing her alphabet. A, B, C, D-e-e, a part of which she must master, in order to add another degree to her M. L. If she fails in this, however, her ambition is to be an “old maid” teacher. M. L. Degree. 22
