Editors of The Lotus of ' 08 One of our Ed itors-in -Chief, Lizzie Roberts, comes from Virginia, and she has brought along with her a great reputation as a pianist. When she begins playing her Dream of Love, even the Editors can love each other; and if wc ever hear peals of thunder rolling after one another, we may be sure that Lizzie is practicing her Chromatic Valse for Mr. Brawley. Surely, the world will hear something more from our Virginian. Marie Griffin is one of the seven wonders of the world. People look at her in astonishment, never knowing what to expect next. She can make the words cat and dog rhyme. She never worries over tomorrow, but believes in seizing today. She is the big Editor-in-Chief, and without her the Annual of o8 would be lacking. She is also oiir chief advisor, and whenever a word is minus, it is only necessary to ask her and the word is supplied. Her greatest inspirations come after light-bell when gazing at Luna! It is very difficult to describe all the difierent girls in school, but as an example of the twentieth century woman, we point to Hilda Way, one of the Business Editors. Until one has seen her, one has something to be good for. She hails from the moun- tains and brings with her the theory of short skirts and the removal and destruction of all mankind. Men may come and men may go, but if Hilda keeps on like she has begun, somebody will siirely have a second Miss Edith Royster on his hands. We hope the world will receive her with Vindnpss and handle her with care. Jessie Wilson — a Chinese Puzzle — best solved when left alone. Truly, there is but one way with her — A Business Way ' For further information of her remarkable ability, refer to The Commercial and Farmers ' Bank. Her eyes are blue, hence her adver- tising campaign has been a great success, but after all little girl, you ' ll do. Flora Mclver is one of the original products Peace Institute and is a comedy in herself. Sh one of the Editors and on the pages of this book i of be seen her contributions. The other Editors fear, however, that there is danger of her health ' s breaking down from over-work, especially in the region around the heart. Her source of comfort is in this motto: Beauty and wisdom seldom travel to- gether. We have a girl among the Editors who is really unique in that she is a real live Lady (Doles). One can hear her expressing herself at any time, and the school room walls still echo with her declama- tions. When we hear her say tragically, Curfew shall not ring tonight, we are certainly convinced that it will not ring. When she blow-ho-ho-bugle (with the true Fowlkes inflection) the sounds echo- ing in the distance tell us that As sure as the vine grows round the stump, she ' ll win a name with one big jump! Mary Cave is a young woman of pleasing appear- ance and possesses a vocabulary so prosaic in fact that she is a constant delight to her fellow students. She contemplates and wonders daily at the extreme pleasure derived from her excessive use of big words. To avoid any shadow of ambig- uity. Mary always talks in plain English, forshe says she is unsophisticated and knows nothing of the way of the world. The significance of her exceptional conversational powers almost causes her room-mates to procrastinate at the edifice for fear they will be an impediment in her progress of becoming a world-famed conversationalist. There is evidently a school of Caseology (a new and popular science) located in Tarboro, North Carolina; for one of the teachers has escaped and is now at Peace Institute in the guise of Sue Baker. She is so devoted to her art that she still pursues it here. Although she has reached the honorable and exalted position of an Editor, her dignity suffers very greatly from the fact that the habit of prac- ticing casing, has become so strong within her that she always has ten or twelve girls to practice on. She is a strong believer in the theory that practice makes perfect and that variety is the spice of life.
