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.

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.

MADELEINE WHITMORE BIGGS GSEENVlLliE, N. C. Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eyt . I a every gesture, dignity and love. Madeleine was voted our most versatile Senior, and truly we can not tell you in which of her roles she is most at home. We will all admit that Y. Y. C. A. this year has broken all past records, and we know of no one of our number who has spread more equal suffrage propaganda around. As a grand opera singer, or as Wild Nell of the Plains in the movies, she has no equal. Hut don ' t gel the impression that. Madeleine is for the gayer side of life, for she intends spending the greater part of her time in child welfare work. RUTH HUBBELL Park Mountain, N. C. can not check my girlish blush, My color comes and goes. Ruth entered college with us our Freshman year, but she decided that she didn ' t like us, so betook herself to far-off Texas. But Meredith hath charms that can ' t be broken, so after two years in the wild and woolly west, Ruth returned to graduate with the best class ever. We were so glad to receive the wanderer back that with one accord we made her our Vice-President. Though Ruth usually plays a silent part, her influence is felt, and we know there is something very worth while behind that silence.
