Cornelia Walter Ayer “The more she achieves in art, the less content is she with former work.” Our worthy Art Editor—Kit. No matter how high others may soar, or how many air castles they may build. Kit sticks close to “terra firma . and bases her philosophy of life on facts. It is because of this that we know she will succeed. Kit is using the good sense to develop the talent that has been given her—that of drawing—rather than to waste time exploring fields that she knows not of. When anyone cracks a joke in class, immediately we hear a gay laugh from the back of the room and we know that Kit has “caught the point. Kit, here’s luck to you always! James Irving Calcutt ‘7a thy face I see The map of honor, truth, and loyalty” James has kept us guessing for a number of years and even still we must label him one of those indefinables that are somtinies discovered. One would think he is a hater of the fairer sex but it has been proved that in this respect he is only a bluff. He takes great pleasure in “knocking” the ladies but his winning smile keeps them from being ofTended. James has made quite a name for himself in athletics. As a pitcher, he is right there with the swing and we hope he will soon share the laurels with Eddie Cicotte.

Charles Alpheus Neely “ ought to have my own way in everything And, uhat's more, I will, too.” Alpheus is the “bean pole” of our class. We all have to look up to him. He has been our President for two years and while holding this office he has proved himself worthy of the honor. He always puts “business before pleasure”, and most of the time he succeeds at his business. He plays football, baseball and basketball— and has made himself quite a star on all three teams. He is captain of the football team this year and while in school he has had many honors thrust upon him. As a good all-round hoy, everyone admires him.

Alice Kim; Bri nson “ she had any faults, she lias left us in doubt: At least in four years we could not find them out. Here’s to the girl who stands “highest” in her class. Alice possesses rare qualities of leadership, and during her last year at Florence Hi has had many honors conferred upon her. She is the “Editor-in-Chief” of The Florentine, and President of the Halcyon Literary Society. Recently, she has developed a great interest in English history—the favorite period being the reign of the “Henrys”. Her hearty laugh and constant (low of language have made her a general favorite among her classmates and those about her. Eucene Alston Greene “Rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun, Who relished a joke and rejoiced in a pun. Eugene, or “Monk”, gets a plenteous amount of teasing about his miniature school-house in the form of the Palmetto Limited, which he drives to town every morning weighted down with children of all the grammar school ages. Eugene is an all-round athlete; in fact, he is a star in all branches of our athletics. The girls are not very well acquainted with “Monk” but they have adopted their opinion, of him from the boys, and the boys say that “Monk” is “all right.”
