History of the Freshmen. I saw a thinj of greenish hue, I tho ' t it was a plot of grass; But when to it I closer drew I found it was the Freshman Class. The Old North State is well represented in the Freshman Class of ' 07; there being sixteen Tarheels, one Floridian, one New Yorker, and one South Carolinian. However, Annette, Eleanoire and I think we make up for quantity in quality, don ' t we. girls? In intellect and good common sense Jennie (a true Tarheel ) easily stands at the head. Flora 4s the beautT or the ' class, and Adeline and Mary are the inseparable twins; Prances almost makes a trio. Laurie is the very personifica- tion of unselfishness; and where could one find a more modest little flower than Bettie! Margaret of the Madonna face, good-natured Marjorie and bright Pattie arc popular with all the girls, and Bessie and Eleanoire are our singing birds. Mary and Annette are very faithful and conscientious followers of Mr. Brawley and do justice to his teachings. Blanche is the dear little girl who has so many cases that, to keep up with them, she has to number them; and Frances is the baby in size and age only, for she has a bright and active mind in that little head of hers. Minnie is never happy unless hovering around a certain Senior, and Elizabeth — well, Elizabeth is just little gypsy-eyed Elizabeth, and as for me, I ' m nothing but a plain loyal South Carolinian, a lover of North Carolina, too, and a great admirer of the Tarheels. We feel that we have grown in experience and intellect this year; and now, on the verge of Sophomoredom, feel very learned indeed. In fact, we wonder that anyone could ever have called us fresh and green; altho ' we admit that, at first, we were a little (?) homesick and inexperienced. However, our beloved Miss Nannie, who is always a champion for the babies, has been .sweet and nice to us, sympathizing with our blues and not allowing the big girls to tease us too much. We realize that we are very ignorant in many fields of learning (in fact this year has taught us how little we do know) but conquering, we grow strong; and we feel that wc have overcome many obstacles and learned a great deal that will be of service to us as Sophomores.
