THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighteen Clara Josephine Evans Walnut Grove, Ga. Diploma in Home Economics June ' I reman Society. K. K. Club. If you really want to know this maiden ' s sha} dove (Roosevelt French) just hang around the Domestic Science kitchen some afternoons and have her toss you a chicken croquette on a hot roll out of the Domestic Science window. If they prove to be too rich for you, you ' d die happy with a smile on your lips. Man without a cook, take no- tice! Even if she divorced you because a lemon pie had alienated your affections, she could make her living as a modiste for the royalty. (Oh, I forget they are rather passe). Well, anyway, she could design Uncle Sam ' s costume and an everyday and a Sunday one for Liberty. Mary Lizzie Wright Elberton, Ga. Diploma in Piano Jimmie Vice-President Senior Special Class, 1918. Secretary of Y. W. C. A. 1916, 1917. Secretary of Mezzofantian Society, 1915-16. Lierman Club, 1916, 1917. K. K. Club. At one time in Mary Lizzie ' s life, if Shy- lock had asked her for a pound of flesh, it would have been a modest request, and one immediately granted. She got hold of Madame Somebody ' s method and now has been reduced wonderfully. She and Clara have been the guardian angels in charge of the flag. We wonder upon whose shoulders this mantle will fall. But Mary Lizzie is a saucy angel, and that may be because her wings have not reached full growth. Should you cross her thresh- old unannounced, you would be lucky to es- cape un-hatted, un-collared, un-tongue-ed !

Nineteen-Eighleen THE QUADRANGLE Jennie Mae Erwin Calhoun, Ga. Diploma in Voice Ginger, Jacl(, Unity, Jinnie Class Prophet, 1918. Glee Club, 1916, 1917, 1918. Irenian Society, Beta Tau, Delta Phi Sigma. Another to lead in the attack on Auburn. However, there were losses as well as gains, for this Jennie Mae Erwin left behind a big, happy heart to be divided among several (she s just that big-hearted). In real war- fare, they say the general with humor is never the loser. Luck to you, Jennie Mae! Your fate is spelled Why, just think of the damage one of her smiles can do! I ' ve seen the recipient of one of these broad, beaming smiles fatten and prosper, while a party of the second part would turn green, sicken, and fade away. Just see what the careless love have did! Harriet Elizabeth Rains Maysville, Ky. Diploma in Home Economics Pete, Snoops, Princess Secretary Senior Class. Class Testator, 1918. Irenian Society, Tri Chi. Everybody feels toward Harriet as they do toward a Victrola. They watch it and watch it and still can ' t quite figure out where the music comes out. Its fascinating to watch her mouth work. She is troubled with avocations as well as vocations, in fact she can hardly decide which to make which. Basketry and craft-work are fun, and so are cooking and sewing. Leave it to her — she ' ll figure it out the easiest way. Every- body wants her formula for those wonderful eyelashes.

Nineteen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE Francis Elizabeth Black Calhoun, Ga. Postgraduate Fanny, Sis, Sugar Darlin ' President of Sophomore Class, 1915. President of Irenian Society, 1915. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1914, 1915, 1916. Presi- dent of Y. W. C. A. 1917, 1918. Glee Club, 1915, 1916, 1917. 1918. Secretary of Ath- letic Association, 1916, 1917. Diploma in Voice, 1917. Historian of Senior Class, 1917. Quadrangle Staff, 1917. Business Manager of the Quadrangle, 1918. Man- ager of Thrift Stamp Movement, 1918. My! but she made a classy Joan of Arc the day of the Liberty Loan parade. Fannie rose to the occasion and showed herself no skeleton in armor. Her hat-size, so to speak, moved up about ten notches and her chest expansion increased by two feet. She realized full well that great burden that rested upon Joan s shoulders (that armor must have weighed fifty pounds). We won ' t call it conceit, but it has al- ways been a mystery to us that the very species homo that the Fates shoved into her path, should have looked like her, talked like her, walked like her, in fact liked her (the last we understand). They have violated the prime law of magnetism that Likes repel and unlikes attract. But what can we do? Convince this woman against her mill. She ' ll he of the same opinion still. Mary Mardel Taylor Covington, Ga. Diploma in Expression Mardele, Sis Mardel, Boo ' fui ' A.B. Diploma, 1917. Prophet of Senior Class, 1917. President of Student Body, 1917. President of Irenian Society, 1916. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1915, 1916. Secre- tary Dramatic Club, 1917. President of French Club, 1917. Quadrangle Staff, 1917. Editor-in-Chief of Quadrangle, 1918. Delta Phi Sigma. could sing As Mardel hath sung. And she as I, She might not sing as nUdlty-nell Nor care, nor try. That ' s a Poe way to begin, Mardel, but the public will understand for they are on rear rations, too. Well-fed, well-said. Mar- del has the record — no competition — of sing- ing E above high C with absolutely no ef- fort. So well-formed and delicate are her tones that no human ear has yet been able to note the slightest vibration upon its drum. Mardel, herself, claims that she once sang a duet with a gnat that absolutely tore the house down (gnat-house, I guess). And the miracle of it is that singing is not her forte at all. Just hear her read, and well — an- other volume begins.
