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.

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.

ELLA JOHNSON Thomas vi lle, N. C. It is not In r fault If i iiii in n r turn your eyes tail up As ln shakes upon E in nit, Or runs lln rliriininlii: scale Uj . And what shall we say of Ella? There ' s so much it ' s hard to know where to begin. First, look at the statistics; second, listen to her sing; third, watch how she gets up an operetta; fourth, see her in her robe of authority in the Astro Halls. We could add a fifth and say: Come to English Literature III and listen to her talk about Byron. If you do all these things, you ' ll see what a nice person she is to know — what a dependable soul she is to rely on! This is why we all like her. BEl ' LAH JOYNER HlHK Mill NT, N. C. And Inn Ims led thee to the stranger land, Where nun are bold, and strongly sny tin ir say. Beulah is jusl as sweet as she is pretty — and re- member, she ' s voted the prettiest in the ( ' lass. As Junior President she led us well. If you could hear her speak upon Economics } - ou would recognize her scholarly nature. We have a pretty good idea into what sea she ' s going to jump and soon! We all like it immensely — she does too!
