MARY CLAIRE PETERSON WlLMIXdTllX, N. ( ' . Belter not be at nil than not be noble. If you traced the story of the Class of ' 19 through its four years of toil, tribulation, and reward, you would see without further word what her classmates think of Mary Claire. If you read the stat istics of the Class of 1919, you will sec what the school thinks of her. She will succeed in whatever she does, ami her ability and charm will always stir others to action. The good wishes of us all follow her into whatever field of work she goes. ISABELLA GRAVES POTEAT Brookline, Mass. ' ' Beauty, truth, and rarity, Grace in all simplicity. Everybody agreed that Isabel is our most handsome Senior, and since Handsome is as handsome does, you may know that she is as beautiful in character as she is in personal appearance. We certainly have no more popular or lovable Senior. Although she came to Meredith only two years ago, she at once became a loyal member of our Class and a favorite of the student body, and even of the faculty, for she is a brilliant student. Her wit. fun, optimistic out- look on life, and charming personality will make her welcome anywhere she goes.

NONA MOORE Mars Hill, N. C. ■ ' Hut God has n few of us to whom lit whispers in the ear. The rest may reason and welcome; ' Tis we musicians know! We have a versatile Class, haven ' t we? Nona is one of the musical units. Of what good are musical fingers, however, without a musical inside? Nona has both, We all have found that out. Sin- can lir Captain of Company C with great efficiency. She can talk with greater — especially to men. She can make good grades, and she can play the piano. What more could one ask? She is as nice as she is tall, and she ' ll lie a good girl wherever she goes. MARGARET KATHERINE MURRAY Rose Hill, X. C. It ' s wiser Ik inn good than bail. It ' s safi r l« im.l a i k than fierce. It ' s fitter being sant than mail ' . Katie is so reserved that we find oursel ves having to pierce an armor of dignity to reach her. But all of us have reached her at the end of four years and we know what she really is. A hard worker, a con- scientious character, and a very generous heart. The greatest of these is the generous heart. Her class- mates know that Katie will do anything in the world for you — and people on the outside of our circle will, piercing the armor, find her as r have found her, anil will like her as we do.

BONNIE ESTELLE RAY Clinton, N. C. ilrm ml I was in lore again With the One Before the Last, Ami I smiled to greet the pleasant pain Of that innocent young past. How many ones before the last Bats can count remains and will always remain a mystery. We do know that she pines for the 8ist Division at present, and studies by spells. Another mystery is how Bats can keep a ear cm hand and make good marks. Was she born with an instinct of education? She says she ' s going to instruct others in the field of science. We know she ' ll do it well; and she ' ll be happy too, for she gives a cheerful note to the Class of ' 19. ELSIE PEARL RIDDICK ASHEVIIXE, X. C. • Tin glory of a firm, capacious mini . The old proverb says, If you wish a thing well done, you must do it yourself, but we say if you wish a thing well done, give it to Elsie, and she will always do it better than you could have done it your- self. Who but Elsie would have attempted Greek and Latin the same year? Capability? Yes. Ex- ecutive ability ' . ' Yes. Manage-ability? Why, she could manage the leaves off the trees. That ' s why we made her Business Manager of our Oak Leaves this year. But don ' t make the mistake of taking Elsie for a cold piece of intellectuality; you just ought to see her keep a whole table of girls laughing for hours, or hear her pick Castle on the River Rhine on her guit.
