MRS. B. G. LOWREY Botany and Asst. English Mrs. Lowrey is one whom we all love and admire ; she is a quiet, unassuming little wom- an, kind and gentle to all. Her smile and cheery “good morning” brighten the day for all who meet her. Her Christian influence is great and she is always ready to lend a help- ing hand. Mrs. Lowrey’s sympathy and intellectuality surpass that of most people and Dr. B. G. was truly fortunate when he secured this little woman for his help-meet. MISS MARGARET LEWIS Asst. Piano “Daughter” is a graduate of Hillman and is truly loyal to the “grand old institution.” Her rare attractiveness and charming personality add a great deal to the Hillman campus. On account of the large number of piano students in the college and because Miss Lewis is capable of teaching piano, she was made assistant, and well does she fill the posi- tion. Every movement which Miss Lewis makes displays modesty and grace which makes her doubly attractive. MISS GEORGINA PALMETER Piano We have portrayed in Miss Palmeter the true type of womanhood. Her gentle manner and speech inspire the girls to put forth their best efforts in their music. Her influence, however, does not stop with her pupils, but extends over a ll the school, both students and faculty. If all Canadians are like Miss Palm- eter what a grand country Canada must be ! But we are sure that there is no other like her. Hillman has been very fortunate to se- cure and to hold, as long as she has, such an excellent teacher and refined and cultured woman. Page Ten

MISS BIRDIE GURNEY Mathematics In Miss Gurney we find an energetic, sin- cere little woman. She is a friend and helper to all and we feel that in her we have a treas- ure not to be surpassed. She has a kind word and a cheery smile for every one. In her work as teacher of mathematics we find her very efficient. She believes in making her pupils learn math, but we are sure that none of us will ever learn as much as she knows. She inspires every one of us to do the ver best that is in 11s. MRS. T. M. LEWIS History and Physiology When Hillman was known as C. F. I. there graduated here in the ' 80 ' s a beautiful young woman, Theodosia Miller. Not long after- ward she met her ideal and together they spent a few short, but very happy, years, when he had to leave her forever to answer the call of the Heavenly Father. She has two devoted children, one of whom is also a gradu- ate of Hillman. For twelve years she has held a position in Hillman, and has given the girls much kind advice. She can take the down-hearted or homesick girl and with her arms about her and one of her tender smiles can “make the sun shine from behind the clouds ' MISS PEARL LEAVELL English and Domestic Science There are very few things about which Miss Leavell knows nothing. It seems as though she made a special study of everything. She can cook the most delicious dishes, make the most perfect button holes and teach Rhetoric perfectly. She can also patch and darn. If you don’t believe it, just ask some of the Do- mestic Art girls ! Although Miss Leavell lives near “Ole Miss. ’ she ' s not the least bit sorry that M. C. won the State Championship in football. This is Miss Leavell ' s first year in Hillman, but we hope to have her with us for a long time. Page Sine «

MISS EMMETTE MIZE Latin Little Miss Mize was a “Stute girl” herself once, and knows just what a task it is to think up something new to say in notes of thanks — so she can sympathize with us. This little lady knows all about Virgil, Horace, Cicero, and all the rest of those good- looking men and she can certainly explain things clearly enough to make us understand them also. “Mitt” Thomae dares not go to town with- out Miss Mize. If she did there would likely he “war in camp. These ladies always see the bright side of everything. MISS ERNESTINE THOMAE French and German Did any one ever see our German lady when she was not laughing? Her extreme good nature has won for her many and true friends. She is the athletic directress in Hillman, and her ability to play basketball and coach the girls proves her efficiency in the athletic de- partment. Miss Thomae has charge of the college Y. W. A., which organization is doing good work. Her ability to teach has been proven in many ways and it would he impossible for us to find one who could take her place in the college, and in the hearts of the girls. MRS. LOUELLA GIBSON JOINER Voice and Piano This is Mrs. Joiner’s first year at Hillm an but she has already won the love and respect of the whole student body, as well as the fac- ulty. She has the reputation of being a suc- cessful, enthusiastic, and capable teacher and her record here this session has certainly helped her already splendid record, for she has built up the voice class in a most remarkable degree. Hillman was fortunate indeed to secure this excellent teacher. % Page Eleven
