KATHLEEN COVINGTON Wadesboro, N. C. Her modest looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps be- neath the thorn. For four years Kathleen has gone her quiet, modest, unassuming, unobtrusive way among us, yet she has won a firm and honored place in the love and esteem of all her classmates. We feel sure that, since it is her delightful task to rear the tender thought, to teach the young idea how to shoot, she will also win her way to the hearts of all her pupils. But we sometimes wonder what she will do without Inez. ANNIE LAURIE GIBSON Laurel Hill, N. C. ' Come one, come all, this rock shall fly From, its firm base as soon as I. We always think of determination, decision, and promptness when we think of Annie. Let her once decide a thing, there ' s an end of it. Let her once determine to do a thing and it is done. Tell her to come hither at a certain time and she will be there, not on time, but ahead of time. How often have we strolled into chapel at eight twenty-five and found Annie calmly waiting. That is all right, Annie, for when you leave our hallowed walls, you will not have to wait for a job, but it will be waiting for you.

ELSIE JOSEPHINE BRANTLEY Spring Hope, N. C. For I was made perfect loo, All thro ' my keys that gave their sounds to a uish of my soul. We strike another musical note in the Class of ' 19 when we come to Elsie. Surely we are blessed in- deed. Has any one ever seen her when she didn ' t look nice? Has any ever seen her when she wasn ' t sweet and polite? A nature in perfect tune, a dis- position in which all things work together for har- mony, and a talent which lets forth the inner music thro ' her finger tips — so we see this classmate. She loves to go to shows — probably she ' s only gleaning experience to use in her own stage presence, for it is rumored that we ' ll some day be digging deep into our pocket books for the privilege of hearing her play. LENA ERNESTINE BULLARD Fayetteville, N. C. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Small? Yes, but in size only, for Lena is a big- hearted girl with broad sympathies and interests. She has entered into all phases of college life with boundless enthusiasm. Whether on the basketball court as captain of our team, or financing athletics or planning homes, Lena has put herself whole- heartedly to the task and accomplished it. We feel sure that out in the world her work will be as suc- cessful as her college record has been.

FRENCH LEO HAYNES Clyde, X. C. It mums intensely, and means good: To find its meaning is my meat and drink. Here ' s French! She ' s a good girl, and really hasn ' t red hair, although she is accused of it. She has the responsibility of the Student Government Association on her shoulders, so we can ' t imagine why her hair isn ' t gray. She means lots to the college, and what would our class do without her? She ' s an all-round good friend, the kind old ladies call the salt of the earth! No- body fears for her future, by past experience we know what she can do. CELIA HERRING Cheng ' now, ( !hina. Dear, mar, ami true mi truer Time himself can prove you, (ho lie make you ever man dearer ami nearer. All this is true, and more. The fact that she comes from far-off China makes us cherish her the more, for she expects to go back and teach the little yellow chaps how to live. As a classmate she is all that one could wish; as a student — well, although it ' s maximum effect with minimum effort with Celia, she gets there all the same. As Society President she shows her spirit of leader- ship; as a friend, there ' s no better. Luck to Celia! We all wish it.
