RIAH BLOUNT, BXL. Appleton. S. C. Thou art strong and great. Riah hailed from South Carolina and joined this illustrious class in 1915. She has been the shining star of the class in athletics, having won the tennis championship in her .lunior year, besides being the champion .jumper of the basketball team. With this .start, she was chosen president of the Ath- letic Association during the year of ' 15 and IG. She has also been engaged in other lines of activity as well. As a rough-house raiser of the fourth floor, she has few equals. I ' .ut with it all, Riah has managed to always Ijf on the spot, and be there well prepared. 11 B M; Vice-President Home Missionary Society, 1914-15; President Athletic Associ- ation, 1915-16; Basketball, 1914-15-16; Tennis Championship, 1914-15; Treasurer Home Missionary Society, 1915-16. ISLA MITCHELL, B.LL, Yanceyville. N. C. A merry heart goes all the day. Preacher, during her four years sojourn within these Peace-ful walls, has broken all records along the lines of spiritual progress, until she has at last joined the coveted posi- tion of Cabinet member. Her tongue is her greatest w-eapon. for she landed here talking, and I suppose she will leave engaged in the same occupation. Preacher loves every- body and everybody loves Preacher. Yan- ceyville should indeed be proud to claim this product of Peace ' s peaceful iiiHiinncc nut of the chaos and confusion ol lln Imiitli lloor she has brought a quietm- ili:n i lnyoiul comprehension — that is, bpt«i ii ilh ' Imursof 12 and 7; 25 a. m. Don ' t let this nickname of Preacher mislead you. for one day spent at Peace would convince you that she will not be in the pulpit any time soon. - ' 1 ' K ; Vice-President of Irregular Class, 1913-14; Treasurer 2.

MARY NOBLE BURKHEAD, B.L.S. Lexington, X. C. ■ ' Xuble ' by birth, yet nobler by great deeds. Mary Noble is one of those people whose very presence is invigorating. Her energy carries her throngh everything, from the hardest tonght fights on the baslietball field to the dullest grind of cramming for tests, and never leaves her looking otherwise than alert and vigorous. Her intellect and execu- tive ability, moreover, are such that she can turn that energy to nearly anything with equally good results, as you can see by the many honors given her. Once in a while, however, on Sunday nights, this energy hav- ing been rather restrained all day. finds vent ill little antics which — but let us draw the curtain over the rest of the scene. i; f ' , II 9 M; President Sophomore Class, i:il3-14; member Student-body Council, 1913- 141.516; Fire Lieutenant. 1914-15: President Junior Class, 1914-1.5: Joke Editor Loxt-s. iai4-15: member Missionary Cabinet. 1914- ir,; Secretarv Athletic Association. 1914-15: Junior Basketball, 1914-15; Senior Basket- ball, 1915-16: President Senior Class, 1915-16: Eilitor-in-Chief Liiri s. 1915-16, LOUISE DOWl IN, A,B, Warrenton, N. C. Gentle of speech, but absolute rule. Big Dowtin may deceive you by hir saintly appearance, but you would not havr to live in the same building with her very long to discover the humorous side of her disposition. A beacon light she has proved to be to the Peace-ful assembly on class as well as off. Bashfulness formerly was a characteristic of hers, but in the role of President of Student-body she has gained the courage of Napoleon and the eloquence of Patrick Henry. 11 e M; President of Student-body, 1915-16: Treasurer of Y.

FANNIE NICHOLSON. B.L.S. Fayetteville, N. C In the right place is her lieart. Nick is another one of the landmarl B oi Peace, and has indeed been a substantial one. A word and a smile for ever iMni has been her slogan, and with this sh L.i climbed the ladder of fame. Nick ili in expressing her own opinion, and din ;ii on frequent occasions: but in spite ul u .ill she is perfectly harmless. Nick tries to leave the impression that she is a man- hater, but we who know her best have found that there is a weakness in her heart for doctors. As one of the Editors-in-Chiet of this brilliant publication, she has discharged her duty well, and some day we e.xpect to see her expounding her opinion and beliefs in Butler ' s Analogy. 2 I K; Secretary Missionary Society, 1913- 14; Treasurer of Junior Class, 1914-15; Club Editor Lmrs, 1914-15; Chief Marshal.

The reason firm, the temperate will, en- durance, foresight, strength and skill. Have you read in the Bible about those ptiople that shine as lights in the world ? Well, when Paul or Peter, or whoever did write that wrote it. he probably wa,xed pro- phetic and thought of Eoline. She has been the firm foundation of the Y. W. C. A. of Peace from time immemorial. She is one of the people you can count on. I ' ll tell you this, though in confidence, if you should chance to see Eoline once in her room with a crowd of girls, you wouldn ' t take her for a bright and morning star. Eoline has quite a reputation for doing the proper thing; but there ' s one thing she does that is not com- mendable — she ' s nobody ' s wee lassie her- self, and she will fall in love with men half a head s horter than she is. ;:: M ' .
