1IHE PIOTM DC 1913 ale l, ity ias ied be ild :h- in- ld ler as Emmette Mize Forest And wise she is if I can judge her; And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true” From out the wilds of the Forest came this nymph to make famous Hillman as her Alma Mater. It would take quite a long string of adjectives to enumerate her virtues. Intellec- tual, big hearted, interesting, are the ones most fitting to describe her. Very resourceful, she can do almost anything she tries except s )ng. Some day she will certainly shine as a literary genius or else she will sit in the chair °f Latin in some great instituion. B. A. Degree and Diploma in Expression. Zilphia Odom French Settlement, La. “Believe me, Of all the men alive 1 never yet beheld that special face Which I could fancy more than any other” Louisiana has presented us with this fair maiden, whose lovely face and charming man- ners have been a joy to Hillman ever since she entered it. She loves Art and especially is she gifted in drawing pictures of her ideal, or rather ideals, for she has another one after each reception. The only thing that ever worries Zilphia is trying to decide whether she prefers Mexico, New or Old (with the Spanish language) or French Settlement, La. (with the French language). Possibly, who knows, she may decide to turn all her atten- tion to the question of cotton dealing. Diploma in Art. 25

IP I OyNt Ruth McCaughan Clarksdale “She that can think and ne ' er disclose her mind, See suitors following and not look behind. A girl who is loved by all and whose originality and artistic ability are always in demand. Ruth has taken her time while at college and has learned enough to pay for the time. Who would not be willing to spend six years at college, if they could sew, play, and shine in art as she does? Saying noth- ing of her regular literary work, and teachers’ train- ing course. She often determines to he an “old maid,” but “somebody” persuades her to change her mind. She is quite an artist and paints people as they ought to be, not as they are. Diploma in Art. Pelahatchie “Jove knows I love , — but whom? Although Flossie appears very indifferent, she has won many friends not only in Hillman, but also in Mississippi College. When there is to be a ball game, she appears with her big coat on, in order to have pockets enough to hold her tickets. Flossie takes her own time for everything and worries about nothing. She is always ready for a feast, even if it is only Kress candy. While she is not so fond of most studies, some say she likes Milton. She de- lights in playing tennis love games. M. L. Degree. 24

TJF£. E PIOAI ±x 1013 Ruby Roper Kosciusko “Nothing she does or seems. But smacks of something greater than herself ” On a cold, bleak November morn, one of our Rubies first saw the light of day. Tho’ not of royal birth, she has “Noble” aspirations. Three years ago she came to Hillman, seeking knowledge. Being fond of music, she began to study piano, but soon de- cided that she preferred “trombone.” Though she finds this “study” very interesting, she finds time to scatter sunshine among her friends and shine in her literary studies. She can be very dignified when she desires, but nothing pleases her better than a mid- night feast, where she is leader of the fun. Others besides ourselves reconize her many virtues, and many think she will he the first to form a life part- nership. M. L. Degree. Lillah Sutton Prentiss “Sacred and sweet was all I saw in her.” In the latter part of the nineteenth century, in the town of Prentiss, a new star appeared on the world’s horizon. How this bright star passed her early years we do not know, but since she has been shedding her light on Hillman, she has shown us that she is not that kind of bright star that grows dim with age, but one that sends out her light and illumin- ates everything around her, and we are con- fident that in the future she will continue to shine, bringing light and happiness into many lives. Her friends are predicting that by her light even Chemistry will be made clear. M. L. Degree. 26
