MISS MARGARET WEBB SHARP, B.S. Clinton, Miss. “As great as she is fair.” This happy little maid is the only person on the campus who is universally liked. She is unvaringly sweet to everybody. Sometimes she doesn’t smile; she seldom Hooverizes on her generosity and no one blames her. She has a funny habit of making ten’s in all of her classes. And the Profs, have the funny habit of calling on her when the rest of the class has given perfectly “bone-headed” answers. Gentle in manner and sweet in voice ; she knits for the soldier boys and is the sweetheart of one of them.
