Never could we have found one more fitted for this task. Come with me a moment and you ' ll understand why the student body believes she was born with the gift of getting things across ; for when it comes to making a speech in Y. V. C. A., leading a group of girls as their House-president, assisting the Dean with her office work, and we might say blurting the professors, Louise is right there. That she doesn ' t have much time to spend among us is true, but when she does favor us with her presence, we see the jolly side of her nature. Do you doubt that a girl with all these accom- plishments will some day attain her ambition of leading a group of college girls as their Dean? Annie Bowen, A.B Raleigh, N.

The next time she speaks, s compliment which you can be just as sure comes straight from her heart. Besides being a successful student during her four years at Meredith, Annie has done her part toward keeping a charming and dustless home. That Annie has other accomplishments is shown by her chic clothes, which are the envy of her neighbors. To describe Annie herself, we would say that she is petite, quaint, and altogether charming.

Her work as head of the Community Service Committee has set a new standard for that department. Furthermore, all her good deeds are done unobtrusivelv.

In her, sincerity and depend- ability are raised to the nth degree, for was she not voted to be the most sincere girl in school? We linow that wherever life ' s fortunes lead her she will be truly successful for she has the faculty of making people respect and love her wherever she goes. ?u g?fe:L- g:y9« =£.-9i :s?g4 Albeimaile, N.

She ' s one of the few people that ' s always in a good humor, and along with this she has the quality of being perfectly frank with everyone. Banks does not extend her friendship indiscriminately, but limits it to a few, especially her dear Frank and Louise. We should all like to know her better but those who have enjoyed her friendship recommend her as a true and loyal friend. i Y ' ferra ' : Why, Lillian! How oft have we heard this exclaimed, and immediately the rest of us gathered to hear the rest of what we knew was another marvelous tale. Yes, sir, she always has a new one, and the last one is always the biggest. Many a weary sigh has she turned into a smile nr a K ndlv laugh. After all, what is life for but to make others happy— and that ' s just what Lillian does, both by her cheery smile and her helping hand. If you need a seamstress, get Lillian; it vou need a cook, get Lillian. In other words, if you need a good, all-round girl— get Lillian. She was never known to fail wheTi help was needed, she was born to live in the hut by the side of the road and be a friend to man. Clara Mae Jesslp, A.B.

On second thought should we thank fate, or should we lay it to that will of T. J. ' s cause when T. J. wills . In either case it was Converse ' s loss and our gain. T. J. is an admir- able combination— just the proper mixture of stubbornness and sweetness, brains and beauty, to be loved by all. When you see her you may judge for yourself why she was voted the best dressed girl in school. Verilv, we believe that T.

Her mental ability is attc she can star in Math, win the Astro Literary Medal in her junior year, and elect Physics because she likes it. Perhaps a little too reserved and timid, yet withal a capable, well-rounded student who is sure to achieve success in whatever line she may choose, whether it be a teaching, busi- ness, or the old-fashioned vocation of women — making a home. Ruth, president of the class, typifies what the others would like to be. She is dignified, intellec- tual, gracious, charming, sympathetic, and has often been called the most thoughtful girl in college. She is an ambitious student and plans to get her master ' s at Columbia next year. But she i« not as reserved as she appears to freshmen for she enjoys a good joke, even on herself and her dieting.

This is Phyl — the most sentimental of us — but besides being that, she is one of the brightest, happiest, busiest among the seniors. Phyl has the faculty of being able to attend to the details of things, the charac- teristic upon which real success is built, either in getting ads for Tlie Tiuiff or in keeping minutes and other items in Y. V. C. A. She is ever at hand to do all that she can to make for the most possible good. You never ask Phyl to do anything and meet with refusal if she can do otherwise.

She has that gift of making herself liked, due to the fact that she has a cheery greeting for everyone and is ahvays smiling. A good time sparkles in her eyes, and she is ever ready to take her leaf and join the happy throng. But after all, we can say she is a good student, conscientious worker, and honest-to-goodness friend. Thanks to the Little Fairy of ' 21, which sent Foy to uphold in a worthy manner the dignity of our class. She is an example of one who is happiest, upon making others happy; of course everybody loves Foy. Who could help loving a girl with such an unselfish disposition, such a gentle manner, and such a pleasing personality. Then too, you should hear her play the piano. But that this is only one of her accomplishments, you will realize if you have ever heard her star in the Psychology and Education classes. Truly, her high ideals, strong character, determi- nation, and keen interest bespeak a noble success for our deserving sister classmate.

She has clear talent as a musician, and the knack of keeping Myatt girls in their rooms after bells. O, how she can ring that bell! When we met her we were pleased. When we began to know her those true blue qualities of loyalty and sincerity were found to be inherent. And now, what do you think of her? you ask. We love her for the same reason that one loves a rose. First, we appreciate the sturdiness and strength of the root and stem that nourish and support the delicate bud. As it grows it unfolds and finally we may Look into the heart of the rose. We have looked into the heart of Penny and now we love her. Her quiet, unassuming manner together with her sympathy, that deepens as one comes to know her, have unfolded as the bud.

Beulah never strikes dis- cordant notes, whether singing Somebody Loves Me, and I Know Who (and, by the way, if we aren ' t mistaken we know too), or presiding graciously over the Astrotekton Society. With the aid of the Bulldog and his fighting spirit l?eulah smoothed over our sophomore squabbles, and led us through those all-important months of re-adjustment. In whatever corner of this world she may find herself one need never fear, for with her wide range of power and possibilities she will add grace to that corner and make the sunshine everywhere.

The fact that she is a town girl has not kept her from joining in our activities, espe- cially the social affairs. When anyone is needed to plan menus or figure calories, Miriam will always answer the S. O. S. call.

Though strong in her likes and dislikes, she is one of the truest friends a girl ever had. She h.is a ktin MM.f ..t humor and a deep feeling for the finer sides of life. She believes that too much stiuK is a iM-ariness to the flesh. As college coach, Eftie has proved herself efficient in athletic activities. Although she has been at Meredith onlv three vears, she has had ample time to show her ahilitv as a student, to prove herself a wort ' hv friend, and to characterize herself among the seniors as the most sophisticated of the class.

Her congeni; amiable disposition make her welcome wherever she goes. She has just enough of what we com- monly call temper to make one beware of her displeasure. But these are by no means her only charms. She possesses a rare hit of humor and a country tenor which make her very much in demand at our Sunday night gatherings. Take her as you find her, she ' s a jolly good pal. Her type is seldom found, indeed it would be difficult to name Tuttle ' s greatest virtue, for she has them all. Had there been more courses at Meredith 1 dare say she would have tried them, too. Even though she is one of our literary girls, she is quite talented in the fine arts, voice is her specialty. She enjoys college life as much as the rest of us, whether it be by her skillful maneuvers in assisting V. F. Meds, or by her efficiency as a tennis champion. Turtle is the First Aid member of our family, and we anticipate for her still greater success since she is A Friend to Man. : igfj ' jjg; iv i i ' S ' 5 g r ryyg gc Attractive and dainty with just enough indifference thrown in to add spice — that ' s Tommy.

And she never fails to make a success of everything she attempts. She can do one thing as well as another! Nobody enjoys a good time better than Peggy and her happy disposition and fun loving nature make her a desirable companion — in work or play. We can think of no better profession for Peggy than nursing, and that is the one she intends to pursue. Her sunny smile and cheery laugh will serve like a magic wand to dispel sorrow and pain. « i % ' ; v In considerateness, generosity and unselfishness Ruth has never been surpassed. She is all the time, everywhere sensible, big-hearted and capable. She possesses the power of independent thinking and intellectually belongs to no man order. She is perfectly at home in the kitchen, the sick room and even in the Classical Club. But in spite of this she has a somewhat sentimental natuie. For at any time of the day or even the night, you can hear her enraptured voice ex- claiming, Oh, giris, Miss Law smiled at me! But that ' s all right, we all know that success will crown whatever she may undertake whether it be instructing the young in Latin or French. Edith is indeed a servant of His Creatures. Every volunteer, as well as other girls in schn know and appreciate her friendship and worth. If you want anything done, go to Edith, she always meets you with I ' ll try, and what she does is done well. Edith came a long way to get reached here. . ■ • u If the Chinese love her as we dn, she has a chance to turn many from the images made with hand ' - to Him who loves all creatures.

J ' : ' -. History of tke Class of 1923 ERHAPS it was a lesser ranking historian than Herodotus or Thucydides who said: History aims primarily to depict the social group, and deals with the acts, opinions, and characteristics of individuals, primarily for the purpose of illustrating or explaining group conditions and activities. Ill September, 191 9, one hundred and thirty-nine neophytes arrived in Raleigli in groups of various numbers or alone. The spirit of Mere- (hth seemed in the air, even at the station, for Y. W. C. A. and ' 21 arm bands greeted the bewildered newcomers. Donis was on duty and checked the trunks, while the new girls became stamped with the Meredith seal. The juniors, taking complete charge of their newly acquired little sisters, planned a class party, wheie a niiniatvne city of Raleigh was set up in the practice halls. Col. Olds came up to help conduct the little sisters through the various places of interest and shops in this miniature city. Later he took his precious lambs to the real peni- tentiary, Dix Hill, and Old Soldiers ' Home. Room parties brought the girls closer together, and with the society entertainiiients and initiations on October 4th, these new girls became loyal Astros and Phis After six weeks, under the leadership of Doris Jefifries, as temporary chairman, the class voted to elect her president. The 22 Sophomore Black Devil caused much fun to ' 23, especially so on stunt night when tlie ' 22 presideiit, on receiving carnations, threatened to give the ' 23 stunt, lint, in Npite of tiu- tact that it was the last stunt to be presented, The Colored Ladies ' jubilee, with its end ladies and Biegfield Zeauties, was a real success. On April 19th, after exams had been passed and Hunked, the freshmen entertained their big sisters with a carnival at the Country Club. Spring exams meant good-bye for many of the class, but to most of them it meant the prospect of entering into the big sophomore year. I5eulah Rowland was elected to lead the class through its sophomore year. With black and red tor cidnrs, and a bulldog for a mascot, the .spirit of Beware! He bites — ' li dominated in the fall of 1 920. Pie beds, green dunce caps, black gloved left hands — all led up to .Night Off. That night the class, in black and red costumes, ruled the dining room at dinner, left in trucks for State College and Wake Forest, and returned at midnight to punish fresh newish. Another thrill came when the Sophs at State painted the class numeral and later, when the Meredith Sophs entertained these boys at a reception. The stunt night program, A Courting Expedition, was one typifying sophomore activity. The seniors were the ideals of their bold little sisters. These sophomores enter- tained the seniors at a circus in the society halls. The bamboo slide displaying number- less petticoats was one of the chief memories of this party. ' 23, as sophomores, shared with ' 21 in their commencement exercises by making and carrying a daisy chain on class day. The class wore rainbow dresses, which brought out the senior colors; sang the odd class commencement song, and farewell to their departing sisters. Louise Mays was chosen as our president for the junior year. It was not long be- fore the real junior spirit came to the class, and the girls of ' 23, taking on th ' respon- sibilities of upper classmen, attempted to reflect upon their little sisters the careful pro- tection characteristic of odd classmen. Get-together room parties and campus parties were given to the Class of ' 25. For the annual stunt night, the juniors presented Cave Man Stuff. The success of this was soon eclipsed by the arrival of senior rings on November 7th, and A.B. and B.S. ' 23 beamed on forty-five fingers. Closed study hour put an end to many potential good times, but the junior-senior reading room became the center of liberal education. Social development was greatly enhanced by attending the clever Valentine party given the juniors by the freshmen, as well as by the State-Meredith junior reception. Elections were held in March, and since the major officers came from the incoming senior class, the Class of ' 23 claimed especial notice. It was during this year that Meredith became a member of the Southern Association of Colleges, and being inter- ested in all phases of college activitv, the juniors took great pride in this honor. The last big event of the junior year was the junior-senior banquet, held in the college dining hall on the evening of April the twelfth. Girls, flowers, evening dresses, men, and dress suits made this a memorable event in the class history. With Ruth Livermon as president, the Class of ' 23 entered upon its last year at Meredith with true senior dignity. Late in October the seniors were well represented in the active presidency and secretaryship of the North Carolina Inter-Collegiate Press Association, which held its fall meeting at Meredith. On November 6th, the annual stunt night came again. This last year the class presented a stunt, which the members considered to be rather typical of themselves. It was called My Kingdom for a Man. This stunt won the loving cup, offered by the Athletic Association for the first time, to the class that presented the most original stunt in fifteen minutes. Keeping up the odd-sister class spirit, the seniors entertained the sophomores at a costume and mask Valentine party. The spirit of Dese Bones Gona Rise Again, the odd-class song, prevailed throughout the college year. Caps and gowns were adopted by the class to be worn at chapel daily after the Easter holidays, and to be left as the class gift to the college. The class successfully and gracefully went the rounds of parties and entertainments showered upon seniors. Commencement came and forty-three seniors went out into the world to seek success. It is not the task of the historian to prophesy, but, in conclusion, she writes: The class gained knowledge that was thought useless, but at the worst a little superfluous knowledge is not a dangerous thing, and even if it is, the wisest of educators are unable to draw sharply the line between what is superfluous and what is not. Yet, there is danger, in this age of passion for immediate practical results, of forgetting that large future which, in spirit of utilitarian educational philosophers, is ever being shaped even by this Class of 1923. Phyllis Mays, Historian. Class Propkecy N the course of events, influencing and influenced by the history of any class, it becomes necessary to have a prophecy. Not satisfied with a record in the history of what has happened, and in the annual of what will happen, there must be the surmises of some member of the class called the prophet, because said surmises deal with the future, and not necessarily because they must or can come true. Mere speculations, as it were, to such a state has the prototype of class prophecies degenerated. Though, as yet, we have not outgrown the feeling that these speculations are a necessary adjunct to the close of the chapter concerned with the affairs of each class, we have outgrown the idea that it is a sentimental affair promising rich yoimg husbands to the whole class indis- criminately, and we are now willing to look on the thing of the future with a calm, scientific eye. When viewed squarely the whole problem dissolves itself into a consider- ation of the degree to which our native desires are suppressed. A moment of thoughtful consideration and it is seen that there are three stages of suppression — first, total lack of suppression ; second, when the two forces equal and the balance lies with the more powerful— self or suppressing circumstances; and, thirdly, the total suppression — a con- dition rarely found in this day of the forward movement of women and their rights, but still extant and more singular because of that fact. To be illogical, we will begin with these more rar examples and work re ersely, for no more illustrative example of the third class can be found than Ruth Livcrmon, who has the ability to do and be many things. Due to the influence of friends and illustrious forbears, she will forsake all others, and cleave unto the English department of her Alma Mater, becoming its head, from which position she will be recognized as an influence in the college. T. J. is another of the Class of ' 23 who will be the victim of circumstance, the heiress of millions, she will never be able to be the poor, struggling minister ' s wife that she would like to be because she isn ' t poor, and there ' s no way out of such difficulty as you, gentle reader, can easily see. Fannie Paul falls into this class also. Despite repeated efforts on her part to draw cartoons, she will find herself drawn into the editorship of the Lndirs ' llmnf Jounu.I — all of •hich can be blamed to the start she got on The Acorn. In a discourse of this sort, it is very necessary to make allowances for the degree of strength of the native desire less than the suppressing force. For instance. Ruby Spainhour, howe er great her desire to be instructor in aesthetic dancing and swimming at Meredith, must make use of this ability for leadership through her activities as presi- dent of the Federated Women ' s Club of North Carolina. Liz Kendrick, try as she may to make use of her ability as a bareback rider in a circus, must content herself with carrying on the line of work begun in college as presi- dent of the Y. W. C. A., to become, for a while, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern division of the Y. W. C. A. Erma ' s desire to be artistic was partially gratified when she became picture editor of the annual. Here desire to become a traveling photographer will be trampled by her desire for the unusual which will lead her into the keeping of The Crimson Cat Gift Shop. Helen Sentell, as impetuous as ever, would be a designer of dresses for a very exclu- sive house of New York and Paris, but the force of circumstances will make her the wife of an eminent journalist, whose eccentricities only she can accept philosophically and understandingly. The second class is concerned with those whose choice of career must be battle be- tween desire and circumstances, and to whom the outcome is less inevitable. Among these there are Margaret Duncan, Foy Peele and Joe Cox. Their ad- mirable decision to become foreign missionaries does not prevent Margaret from think- ing occasionally of the other road she might have traveled — the secretary to the presi- dent of the Atlantic Coast Line; nor does it prevent Joe from dreaming of her triumphs as a political campaign speaker ; nor Foy from building air castles around her- self as the author of a book on The Significance of a Baby ' s Smile. Nell, too, will have the choice of a career as an interior decorator, but she will eventually decide that she is socialistic enough in her views to want only one career in the family. Clara Mae will be forever torn between the desires to be like or unlike people, swerving first from the publication of a book of vers libre to a compilation of a statis- tical report of the ravages of disease in North Carolina during the last century, and ending the whole by accepting a position as dramatic critic for Life. Lela Cobb will eventually see that her desire to be a sleight-of-hand performer will be of no avail, and will console herself with work on the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Ruth Yelvington will slowly, but surely, climb to the top in the world of books as a librarian, cherishing always the desire to be a dietitian in her Alma Mater. Pauline Penny will teach piano till she finds that for her, too, there are better things than a career. Annie Brown will have no great struggle to keep down her desire, for it will find fulfillment in the establishment of a finishing school for girls with her as its head, where she may try all the ideas which she questioned during her college days. Ruth Lineberry will be another victim of circumstance. Her desire to be the ticket seller in a picture show will be choked by her ability as a Shakespeare scholar. Only at rare intervals in her many commentaries on the greatest of English dramatists will this suppressed desire be seen. Tommy, even in the midst of her social activities in Asheville, will tell at class reunions of her attempt to find her niche in the Hall of Fame by traveling for an annual company, but then Prince Charming came along. No one of the returning mem- bers of the class will see in the youthful experience the desire to see the world, but that it is. So much for those whose desire triumphed through difficulty, or was choked. The list of those who show examples of a desire culminating finally in a life ' s work is interesting as it is varied. Louie could achieve success in many things, but the desire of her life finds satisfaction in the appearance of her name on Broadway as the star of Seven, Come ' Leven, the hit of the season, written by Barre Pritchett, who decided that the pen is mightier even for social service work. Phyllis would marry, and there you are. Daphne will be superintendent of public instruction in North Carolina after much study in the field of education. Tuttle, after training at Johns Hopkins, will be a nurse of the best sort, going to the foreign field accompanied by a medical missionary, a convert to the cause because of her. Peggy, too, will follow in this field, but to become the head of her privately-owned hospital in New Orleans. Where else would Elizabeth Knight be happy except in her own home? And there you ' ll find her, dainty, pretty and considerate as ever. Lillian Horton and Bernice, after much consideration, will do something in col- laboration, such as write a text book on dietetics, and then to each try out, in her own way, the joint theories advanced. Louise Bowden must manage something, and after some years of such work she may be found bursar of Meredith College. Mary Sullivan, after her training in history, will not be satisfied until she has written a conclusive history on the World ' s War. As soon as this makes her famous she will prove her right to such laurels by writing a History of the World. Woddy ' s desire to be as big as anyone else will find fulfillment when she appears as a lecturer on The Spirit- World, or Where Are the Dead? Jessie Allen was cut out, brought up and educated for a French teacher, and a French teacher she will be in a leadmg college of the Middle West. Effie Sawyer will show in after years the cups she has won as the woman tennis champion of the United States. (If she ' s too modest, her husband will show them.) Elizabeth Harden will marry the minister to Sweden, and spend her leisure time discovering the difference betwen their ideas of the Industrial Revolution and ours. Josephine Parker, too, will marry and live in Raleigh, but she will be able to keep in close touch with her classmates through her activity with the W. C. T. U. : :i — -j.r -ol Vi M - A- ♦ OAR LKAVEJ iQQy Miriam Ruffin will be the father confessor of us all. As a successful lawyer, the whole class will feel that she knows everything and, so, can sympathize. Lois Kendrick will first be brought before the public eye when she enters her home- town politics to clean up things and is elected mayor, but then the world won ' t know her as Lois Kendrick. Annie Hope will be always in constant communication with us as the secretary of the Alumnae Association of Meredith. Olivia Hocutt and Edith Young will be the two of our class who will be known for special work in education — Edith for her work with rural schools, and Olivia will be considered the expert in primary work in the South. Banks will be the first woman senator from her district, and will be in politics till she dies. Lois Smith will be supremely happy when she inherits enough money to go to Ox- ford, and study intensively and exclusively the English poets of the nineteenth century. Beulah Rowland is perfectly capable of singing her way to fame, but after learning a lesson from This Freedom, we may say that for her a circumstance prevented. A. Lowe will pursue her journalistic inclination and, after some years, she will be found on the editorial stafi of The Neiv York Times. All of which proves nothing except there are three classes of suppressed desires which control the destiny of each and every one of us. And that appearances are de- ceiving — sometimes ! Last Will and Testament S an aged man, making preparation to start on his last journey, wills his cherished possessions to those whom he loves, so we, the seniors, as we prepare to start on the journey of life, donate certain gifts to those we leave behind us. In parting we make one request — that these, our most honored possessions, be carefully guarded and that they be passed down to succeeding generations of Meredith daughters as gifts from the Class of ' 23. We, the Class of ' 23, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Item I. To Alma Mater we bequeath our love and devotion — may she ever hold first place in our hearts! Item II. To Alma Mater we bequeath our caps and gowns, hoping her future seniors wear them with the grace and charm of our class. Item III.

To Dr. Brown a new set of chords to be played while the girls are assembling ill chapel. 2. To Mr. Highsmith gratefulness that Sociology is to be counted as Education — may this ever be so! 3. To Dr. Brewer messages from the hearts of many speakers — to be delivered at chapel services. 4. To Mr. Ferrell a dozen burned fuses as result of Sunday night cooking in Main Building, along with a generous supply of electric bulbs. 5. To Miss Forgeus a wider variety of reading matter for the Junior-Senior read- ing-room — the donation coming from one certain member of our class and consisting chiefly of Specials from Chapel Hill and Harvard — may wisdom abound! 6. To the junior members of the faculty we leave our modesty and reserve. Item r. To the juniors we donate all our surplus dignity and sophistication. Item ri. To the sophomores we will our sisterly afifection to be used solely on the freshnien-to-be. Item VII. To the freshmen we will our mottto: Green but Growing. HT . Mi Item Till. To the same we bequeath our cushioned chapel seats and orange shaded lights to be used only on Saturday evenings. Item IX. To Susie Herring we bequeath the inestimable joy that comes with the privilege of attending the movies once a week, hoping she may be able to bring about a revision of the handbook which will enable her to go at least once daily. Item X. To Alice Klutz, Elizabeth Knight donates her part of the K senior mail box. May the space be Pierced with mail from Hendersonville! Item XI. To Frances Cherry, Fannie Paul wills her lively interest in men. Item XII. Jessie Allen, after due consideration, bequeaths her place on the Honor Roll to Margaret Fleming. Item XIII. Ruby Spainhour leaves to Mary Powell Josey all the fresh air the former has not already made use of. Item XIJ ' . Annie Hope AVard wills to Minnie Murchison one small bell whose chiming peals have so faithfully lulled the college community to sleep. Item AT. Helen Sentelle gladly bequeaths all the pills she has not used to Edna Askew, hoping the latter may recover from her ills — these pills may be found under the pillows in our College Infirmary. Item Xf ' I. Lillian Horton wills to Margaret Cone Tucker the unspeakable joys and privileges of being a day student — moreover, she wishes to leave her several cast- ofiE Senior beaux. Item XVII. Annie Bowen bequeaths to Lizzie Earp her ability to blufif so the latter may forever afterwards be freed from the pest called study. Item XJ ' III. Beulah Rowland donates to Margaret Overton two feet three and a quarter inches of her height that she may no longer be known as Dump. Item XIX. Ruth Livermon wills Marion Allen some fifty pounds of her flesh, hoping that Marion may be able to measure up a four square young woman. Item XX. Peggy Wyatt and Louise Mays bequeath to any lovesick junior the parlors they have so faithfully used during the past four years. Item XXI. Lizzie Kendrick and Erma Moore leave to Dorothy Russell and Mozelle Lassiter a cover for their transom, guaranteed to act as a safeguard against disturbance by house officers when they desire to continue their study into early morn- ing hours. Item XXII. hizzk Kendrick wills Dot Gower her ability to get along with members of certain near-by Y. M. C. A. cabinets. Item XXIII. Phyl Mays bequeaths her sentimental disposition to Pauline Patton — may Pauline ' s attitude of dislike for the opposite sex vanish quickly ! Item XXir. From a surplus in the senior treasury we order that Mr. Boomhour be supplied with gas for Another Nash. Ite?n XXV. A. Lowe gladly bequeaths her ability to write editorials and to edit the Tiiig — as it should be edited — to Frances Cherry. Item XXVI. Louise Mays wills further information concerning the proceedings of the Executive Committee meetings to Raeford Hatcher. May the Acorn never lack material for publication! Item XX I ' ll. To the college community we bequeath at least one dozen cats with the accompanying nightly serenades. Item XXJ ' III. Louise Bowden wills Joy Beaman all the pleasures that accom- pany the management of the Oak Leaves — including that of vamping the photog- rapher, provided he be not the same one who came this year. Item XXIX. Erma Moore, having very emphatically declared her purpose of becoming an old maid, leaves Bernice Hamrick certain tall ' men of her acquaintance. Item XXX. Thomasine Underwood bequeaths Susie Herring untold joys! Item XXXI. To the history rooms we bequeath a dozen comfortable sofas that the occupants of said rooms may have more peaceful recline. Item XXXII. Finally, to avoid painful scenes, we take this opportunity of leav- ing to all a fond farewell. Senior Class, per M. Duncan. H- ' itncsses: Senior Telephone.
