lotus: The Legend of the People THE Legend of the People is a faseiiiatiii tale, laden with iiieiiiories and heart-aches and joyous pride of achievement. It is a page torn raggedly, crowded with a medley of half-legible names, which will ever linger with the tradi- tions of Peace. It is a legend of progress, an endless proce.ssion of nnhlc wiimiiii- hood, guarded and cherished by the lantern of faith. The first presid. ' uts of Peace, Messrs. Robert and John Burwell, capable (iod- fearing men, left the imprint of their lives upon the school, and bequeathed more than a fragment of their fearless purpose and indomitable will to her future patrons. Familiar in by-gone days was the picture of the Peace girls walking sedately to church mar. ' ihalled by a figure bearing in one hand a lighted lantern and in the other a pompous gold-headed cane. Dr. .Fames Dinwiddle was the second president of Peace and belonged to her with all the ardor of his heart and soul. His interests were those of the school, his hopes and aspirations could be traced to the same source, and he strove successfully to impart to every girl the deep love and loyalty with which he regarded Peace. Dr. Stockard, the poet president, weaving beautiful thoughts into expi ' ession, found inspiration in the life at Peace and sang of the loyalty that burnt itself into his breast. The late Dr. Ramsey, benign and beneficent, proved his allegiance to the cause of Peace not only during his term as president of the school, but also through the remaining years of his life. Miss Mary O. Graham, loving Peace, gave herself. The influence of her charming personality and her innate integrity lingers with those whom she loved. Dr. Pressly, our beloved president, has found inspiration in the lives of his predecessors, and is holding triumphantly aloft the banner bequeathed to him. Peace claims as her own a vast number of girls; her doors have been flung joyously open by eager young hands, have closed sadly with the departure of re- luctant footsteps, and have remained, in spite of styles and architectu re and varnish, the same old doors. The daughters of Peace — frail little ladies in gray gowns and spectacles, proud successful women of industry and art, sweet young girls of today — have ever been imbued with the nobility of soul and character that is the eternal spirit of Peace.
