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.

Her sweet disposition makes her beloved by all who know her; she has been voted the neatest girl in school, and since coming here, she has not only drunk deeply of the spring of knowledge, but also distinguished herself as an artist of rare talent. She has showed her ability to study, and in her Senior year she has proved herself a girl of great business capacity by her faithful work as Business Manager of the Edelweiss. Cora Jordan Derita, N. C. Her look composed and steady eye -Bespoke a matchless constancy. Pierian Literary Society. The old theory that only cities can pro- duce great geniuses has been disproved by this case of one of our Senior pianists, who was born and bred in the country. She has been at P. C. three yefrs, and in this time has become fitted into the regular routine of practise and study, so that in future years when the noise of pianos and organs no longer greets her ears and she cannot go up street twice a week, we fear she will be bored by the quiet country life. 15ut no doubt her future career as a singing- school teacher will furnish variety enough! 2 17
