This httle lady first went to Peace, but finding there was nothing in the name, decided to come to P. C. Here she has distinguished herself as a vocalist. It is wonderful what a charm her voice has for some of the medical students. She is bright, cheerful and merry. She smiles all day in spite of her Trig., and does not even frown over Logic and English. Loaise Flournoy, A. B Charlottk, N.

So she came to P. in 1906, and here she has been starring ever since. She was the tiniest and liveliest of all the wee freshman maids then, and even now she is almost too small for her cap and gown and Senior privileges. Her ambitions are many and various, but the two chief ones are: either to afflict the ignorant C ' hinese as a mission- ary, or to torment poor American children, as a Latin teacher. We only hope that wherever she goes biscuits will be plentiful, as these are her necessary brain-food. To her friends at home she is Webie; some admirers here call her Leza; but to those who love her best she is simply Louise. Helen Evans Brackett, B. L., I OH N Clf:MSON COLLECilO, S. C. Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest: Home-keeping hearts are happiest. Vice-President Student Body, ' 10: Supervisor Pierian Society, ' 10; Annual StalF, ' 10; S, ' 10. In September of the year ' 07, a wise little maid came with halting footsteps across the campus and up the steps to the door of the Pi ' csbyterian College for Women. As she entered the portal of this institution of learning, she felt that her troubles were beginning; and so they were. She went through tlie regular routine of discourage- ment, homesickness and weeping, after which she settled down to hard work. This damsel at first was called Helen; but that was because she was a stranger. When she became well-known, she was named lirack and has been so called ever since. At present she is our most dignified Senior; but in spite of her dignity — or shall we say because of it? — she is nuich beloved. Brack is a loyal daugh- ter of P. !U., but her thoughts ever turn affectionately to dear old Clemson. 14
