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.

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.

MARGARET M. WALKER, Voice Andrews, N. ( ' . Cehtificatks in Piiiijisiii ' iiv, Em;i.isii, EHXATKIN All the weary sounds of nature borrowed sweetness of her singing. Margie came to us two years ago from Queens, where she was voted the best all- round member of her class, and we are proud to count her among ourselves. You have only to look at her picture to realize that she possesses personal charm and the thing which, however it may be only skin deep. is irresistible. Of course, we are sure that she will star in the musical world, and here of late we ' ve been wondering if she will not add a Ph.D. to her many honors, for she stars, too, in Philosophy and Education.
