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

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

T H E P Senior HE twilight deepened ; I sat alone and intent in thought, when all at once a deep, mysterious voice said, “Behold! Unto you is given an insight into the future of the class of 1914.” Immediately the room was transfigured; and where I had heard the voice there slowly rose a great curtain, on which was printed in large letters, “Curtain of Time.” I looked beyond and the first place I recognized was my Alma Mater. Then I realized that a number of years had passed and in place of the Hillman that I knew there stood great, towering buildings; and great was mv surprise when I beheld Annie Laurie Eager sitting at the teacher’s desk in a beautiful class-room, with all kinds of Geometries and Astronomies around her. I looked a little farther and recognized the same old Mississippi College chapel. Every thing else on the campus was changed. The Mississippi College of old had given place to a great Baptist Theological Seminary, which claimed as its president one of the members of the class at Mississippi College in 1914. The president’s home appeared, and then his wife ; her face looked familiar and when I heard a masculine voice call “Rastus,” I knew it was Ruth White. When I recognized Ruth my next thought was of Polka McIntyre. Immediately the scene changed, and I saw’ a Methodist Col- lege in a strange town ; I was not at all surprised when I saw 7 that Polka was “Dean” of the college — in more ways than one. In now turned my eyes toward the North, and my gaze was fixed on the city of New York. I saw a large building before which hung this sign: “Misses Ferguson and Justice. Up to date Dancing School.” A little farther on was Wall Street, where I noticed that a great crowd had gathered ; and standing near in a large touring car w T as Ola Walsh, pleading and gesticulating with all her might for “Votes for Women.” Just then something drew’ my eyes across the Atlantic to London. Could it be? Yes, it was Bessie Reeves, whom some one was introducing as “Our new r American Ambassador’s wife.” I found myself next watching the quiet and skillful hand of a nurse, as she assisted with a serious operation in a large hospital in Paris. She turned ; and under her nurse’s cap I recognized Callie Dudley. My attention was now ' turned to Africa and I saw Ouida Reddoch. The mail carrier called, “A letter for your husband.” She took it and I saw that it was addressed to Rev. , Missionary to Africa. A beautiful island arrested my attention. It was Cuba; I looked a little closer and there I saw Sarah Johnston teaching music. An airship appeared upon the scene. After it had slowly descended, I saw a hand- some man alight and following him was Geneva Kinnebrew. Then I knew’ that they had just returned from their honey moon. ZZ=Z== 11 ©l 4 Prophecy 28
