Kl.IZABETH BLOUNT WATSOX, Piano Smithfield. X. C. CeRTIFUATKS in ENI.LISH. FliENtH s fair and musical as bright Apollo ' s lute stringed with his hair. Have you ever heard Settle play the piano? Then you have something yet to live for. We. unmusical editors, fearing to display our ignorance, can only refer you to Mr. Brawley for a description of her playing. Judging trom Bettie ' s extreme reluctance to speak up and express her opinions on class you might think her a rather retiring young lady if you had never seen the abandon with which she plays the piano and basketball. In addition, however, to her roles of piano pounder and basketball puncher she is proficient in that of a heart smasher. Oh, yes, she is! I know those protests and denials of hers, but don ' t you believe them. Just watch her blush.

With her ever quick and ready wit Maud sees the point before the rest of us hav. realized that there is a point; and when sin tells a joke herself the twinkle in her eyis compels you to laugh if nothing else, thou.sli of course, there always is something else t laugh at in Maude ' s joke. When she tries, she can wax brilliant on class, too. but she is not as much interested in doing it there as in her expression work, for that is her guiding star, and the profession will be hon- ored by her success some day. We are trying to persuade her to go to Boston next year to perfect herself in the art. but we are afraid that somewhere (somewhere else) a voice is calling. for she isn ' t as enthusiastic as her talents merit. ri O M; Special Basketball. 1914-15; Cap- tain of Senior Basketball. 1915-16; Treasurer of n e III Society. 1915-16; President of Home Missionary Society, 1914-15; Y.

MARY LOU POWELL, B.LL. Whiteville, N. C. The shallows murmur and the deeps are still. Mary Lou has ever proved herself faithful lo the iluties required of her. and can always be i-eiieii on to know her lessons. We regret tliat she has attended to those duties to the exiiusion of all but a few other interests, for we realize she is a valuable friend and ac- quaintance, and we envy the girls of Para- dise Alley who know her best, for she is a very loyal angel. She was elected Class Historian this year, and we are looking for very interesting results from her capable brain.

When you want executive ability and en- thusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness, go to Cob- ble. During the four years we have had her she has never failed us. whether as Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Member, as President of Athletic Association, or President of her Lit- erary Society, ' lo say that she is popular is putting it mildly, and that she has many honors, superfluous, for she has had thera to refuse. We are predicting great things for her in her chosen realm of music, and our best wishes are with her wherever she goes. 2 ; II B M: President of Literarv So- ciety. 1915-16: German Club. 1912-1.3-14-15-16 : Captain Sophomore Basketball. 1913-14; Freshman Basketball. 1912-13; Comnienc.

MARY MONROE. AuT Sanford. N. C. Ckrtifu-ates in ExiiLisH, Science Her ' oice was ever soft, gentle, and low. If you should just judge by Mary ' s appear- ance, the gentle dignity of her e.xpression, and her quiet little smile, you would prob- ably shed a pensive tear over the thought of her unfitness for this sinful world and go and order some white roses as a suitable token of your regard. Then, if you should chance to get a deeper insight into her char- acter before the flo vers arrived, you would cancel the order and get her a monkey on a stick. Mary would probably take the monkey to class and make it perform behind some- body ' s back — still with that look of seraphic innocence on her face, meanwhile she would say something in that low- gentle voice of l:crs that would convulse those who heard it; tnit what that would be I cannot tell, for you never know what Mary ' s going to say until he says it. i; ; n O M; President of Special Class, i: 14-15; Member Student-body Council, 1915- n;: Class Statistician, 1915-16. rot:th mercer.
