Elizabeth Sanders West, Mississippi “ Her eyes reflect each changing mood And make her beauty grow She has a soul of sympathy That makes us love her so. What is it that is so alluring about “Liz?” Is it beauty or sweetness? No, there is only one word which can express it and that is “charm”. Friendliness, attractiveness, brilliancy, with a lot of pleasure mixed in — that is Liz. Sec. Lesbian Society ’28; Spanish Club ’28; Vice-President of Fidellis S. S.

Virginia is one of those girls who always takes things “Soft” and “Easy”. She could not be accused of being lazy. She simply has the policy of “rest today, for tomorrow you may have to work”. She is always in for a good time and usually has one. When Virginia is around there is always an abundance of mirth in the atmosphere. And thus, she is well- liked because of her cheery, heedless nature.
