GRACE WHITE Brandon, Miss. MARY LEE WARD Raymond, Miss. Lesbian “A sweet, attractive kind of grace. Mary Lee came to Hillman three years ago, a tiny, bright-eyed, smil- ing lassie with chestnut curls. With her girlishness, affection and sim- plicity, she has won a strong hold in the hearts of her classmates and teachers. She is a very excellent student and applies herself well. She thinks for herself, and although not ob- stinate, she is true to her convic- tions. She is a sincere and faithful friend and companion ; is pleasant and considerate of everyone at all times. Mary Lee has a variety of tal- ents and it is difficult to forecast her future, but lur past achieve- ments as a writer of stories, proves that she has that held open to her provided all of her talent, together with her heart, is not generously given to the hero of her dreams. Adelian “ She moves a Goddess and she looks a Queen.” Grace in the two years she has been with us has proven her sterling worth and ability to do things. She has a high sense of honor and has truly been an in- spiration to her fellow students. Grace ' s beauty, along with her talents and charming personality, has drawn to her feet scores of ad- mirers among the young men of Mississippi College and elsewhere. We predict for her great success in her chosen profession, that of a music teacher, but we fear that her path will divide and she will yield to the pleading of some gallant knight and become queen of a home.

i MARY LOUISE SANDERS Kosciusko, Miss. Lesbian “A safe companion and an easy friend The picture you see is only half of Louise. How shall we describe her? Her only fault during her en- tire school career at H. C., has been that she has not fallen in love. In grades she leads the class and her specialty is making hundreds, but we hope that when she has left the halls of Hillman, and is leaving the halls of “Ole Miss.,” she shall see the error of her youth and adopt the wiser plan of studying less and — fall in love. I MARION SNYDER Clinton, Miss. Adelian “With softest manners And gentlest arts adorned.” Marion is one of our town Sen- iors and has been a student of Hill- man from her earliest school girl days. She is quite a favorite among the girls and her popularity at M. C. is shown by her victory in the popular girl contest. With diplomas from both literary and expression departments, coupled with her charming personality and her capability of work, we predict a most happy future for Marion in whatever course she pursues.

Senior Prophecy The Prophetess, feeling that there was much yet to be learned in a chemical laboratory and hoping that she might by experiment make a discovery, which would aid the science and make her famous as well, stole over to the laboratory one afternoon. First she carelessly prepared some flourine gas and allowed it to fill the whole room, and in a way that seemed quite natural to her then, the laboratory was transformed and instead of the flourine gas that had permeated the atmosphere there was a hazy mist known as “future.” Then inscribed on a bottle of CHCl n were the words “To be Inhaled.” She did this and found herself entering a handsome and well-kept home. In it were Ethel and two small children. And the joy that was expressed as the hus- band and father entered, caused the invisible guest to say “happiness reigns here.” Immediately she was again before the shelf that held the bottles and the words were again visible on a bottle of CH s OH. And obeying, she began eagerly pressing her way up the Hall of Fame for the sole purpose of following Ruth Ramey through her professional career, who had become known throughout America and Europe as the great “Dr. Ramev of New York.” While in New York she saw a number of posters in the most prominent part of the city which read, “Misses Yolande and Nellie Clark, the celebrated Southern Pianists, fresh from their triumphs in Europe, at Carnegie Hall, Tues- day night at 8 :30. Seats $2.50 to $5.00. Then the prophetess enshrouded by the mists of the future beheld Viola as a Chinese missionary. She saw fifty years of noble work with wonderful, even miraculous accomplishments, and the end had not come. Then she saw inscribed on a piece of zinc the words “open the door,” and having opened it, she found herself in an elegantly furnished home of which Lucille was queen. Contentment was radiating from every point of the scene. She was reading from the latest journal an article which said, “Mary Lee Ward, the world’s youngest and most popular story writer, is giving to the world a new form of writing. Hers is a work of art and genius.” Two bottles having taken the form of a telescope, she raised it to her eyes and saw the small, blithe figure of Lulu in the vesture of a Red Cross nurse, ably assisting the head physician who had found her indispensable in his work and bad made her his life’s partner.
