Ouida Reddoch, M.L. Taylorsville, Mississippi. “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” This young lass came to us from Taylors- ville and has well proven herself worthy of the love of every girl. Long years ago it was propresied she would shine resplendant in all the circles of this grand old institu- tion, — and ably has she carried out this prophesy. “Of manners gentle and ever mild,” is her motto. Sara Katherine Smith, M.L. Clarksdale, Mississippi. Divinely tall, and ?nost divinely fair.” This fair queen of the delta came to us many, many years ago. In every thing we have undertaken Kate has proved a help- ful worker. In seeing the many things at which Kate is good we may well term her “Jack-of-all-trades,” and say besides, “O, what may woman within her hide.” We prophecy for Kate a brilliant and successful future. Gertrude Elizabeth Summers, M.L. Brookhaven, Mississippi. “Full rich nature , free to trust. Truthful and even sternly just.” Gertrude is a fine friend and a persistent student. Her favorite past time is “going to Walsh.” When some folks announce their court they cry “Oyez,” but Gertrude simply yells, “Ola!” And the courtin’ be- gins — which is a very natural sport in Summers. Of course Summers are Annual and this particular one is a perfect daisy on our Annual. She has the push and endur- ance of a regular Pioneer family and we could never have won out if the one out had been the one this write up’s talking so much about. 1 ® 1 4 — 26

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

TU Ruth Clarke White, M.L. Brandon, Mississippi. “But heaven in thy creation did decree that in thy face sweet love should ever dwell ” Now it came to pass in the days when Dr. Spot ruled that education thrived. And a certain man of Brandon went to sojourn in the land of Hillman, he and his daughter, Ruth. Now the daughter was a comely maid of pleasing mien and strong active mind. Like the Moabitish damsel, straying through the fields one day, she met “Boaz” and when, in conducting chapel, he feelingly reads, “Entreat me not to leave thee,” a great resolve springs into her heart to endeavor not to ever dis- appoint “The Little Minister.” Ola Ruth Walsh, M.L. Leesburg, Mississippi. “Hath she her faults f I would you had them too . They are the fruity must of soundest wine ' This Christmas present came to us Many(?) years ago. She is very affec- tionate and kind. During the four long years which she has spent at Hillman every girl who has come into contact with her has loved her. We predict for her a successful career. Pearl Wylie, M.L. Clinton, Mississippi. Thru thine eyes even in thy soul I see A lamp of vestal fire burning eternally ” This little “wild-cat” is a native of this city and seems to be the only one of her kind in captivity. No one seems to fear her for she appears quite tame. She is a jolly and cheerful lass and is always in for fun. She continually shines in Chemistry and can ask more questions than any lawyer could answer. “A perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn to comfort and com- mand.” 191 - 27
