ILJIIil T IH Winona Kossuth Hammond, M.L. Columbia, Mississippi. “I am Sir Oracle , And when I ope my lips let no dog bark” Hush! Listen! What is this? Only Winona who has been with us three years. Winona possesses the true and valuable art of making friends; at first acquaintance she seems an old friend. May her life be crowned with blossoming success. Mattie Jones Justice, M.L. Rayville, Louisiana. “And still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all she knew.” Here’s to the one alien of our class. Mattie has been with us only two years, but during her stay has proven her great love for literature. She has read every- thing from comic papers to the deepest philosophic treatises. Mattie is an enthusi- astic worker and has well won the line. “None but herself can be her parallel.” Sarah Elizabeth Johnston, M.L. Gloster, Mississippi. “For never saw I mein or face In which more plainly I could trace Benignity and home-bred sense.” “Love spends his all and still has store.” This we can truthfully say of our much loved President and Editor-in-Chief. Sarah always has a kind and loving word for every one she meets. The troubled and aching heart finds comfort in her words and cheer in her kindly feeling.

Callie Eads Dudley, B.A. Utica, Mississippi. “A face with gladness overspread “Soft smiles by human kindness bred This little bunch of quietness came to us a few years ago and has indeed won many, many friends. Although quiet and un- assuming she is a very hard working stu- dent. She will always have the love and devotion of her classmates and well may we say, “The wisest one, in general, is he who does not think he is so.” Mittie Terrell Fortinberry, M.L. Osyka, Mississippi. “And oh! her eyes were in themselves a soul ” Now it’s a shame to tell it on her, but Mittie has a “yaller streak” to her. At least it would be a shame, but her “yaller streak” is in her hair and such a wealth of glistening sunshine you never saw except in her merry, laughing eyes. They bring Midsummer spirit in the deariest of wintry gloom and her sweet and kindly presence is a continual Ray of gladness to even the faithful Bernards of the campus. Mittie is one of our best musicians and we’re prophesying great things for her. Annie Laurie Eager, M.L. Clinton, Mississippi. Her presence blends its warmth and health To all who come before it.” This fair lass is one of the two town girls who make up our crew. “Lau” is quiet and reserved, but she also possesses the true qualities which go to make up a lady. She is “wise to resolve and patient to perform.” Through her diligent work she serves as a member of the Annual Staff. 23

Terah Naomi Lovell, M.L. Brookhaven, Mississippi. “I have no superfluous leisure. My stay must be stolen out of other affairs .” ’Twas the good county of Lincoln that gave us our much loved “Tee.” Her stu- dious mood and laughing way display her pleasant disposition. Success will crown her in whatever path she chooses. Polka McIntyre, M.L. Johns, Mississippi. Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” “Yes, that’s her.” Look at her picture. She is the “Polkiest” girl in our class, but by far not the dullest. Polka is kind- hearted, conscientious and true. By her independence and well balanced dignity she has won the admiration and love of all. She may teach next year, provided, Master Cupid can be persuaded to leave Johns. It is very true, “A little body doth often har- bor a great soul.” Geneva Kennebrew, M.L. Hazelhurst, Mississippi. By my troth, my little body is weary of this great world.” Geneva is one of our most faithful girls. She is a true friend and always is glad to lend “a helping hand” to any one in trouble. By her constant cheerfulness she has won the hearts of all who know her. Trying experiments in Chemistry is her specialty for they always ( ?) turn out just right. 25
