Mary Julia Reid Enoree, S. C. Ask why God made the gem so small, And why so large the granite! liecause God meant mankind should set The higher value on it. Pierian Literary Society. Mary Julia joined us in the beginning of our Senior year, and we soon found that a musician had come among us. Though this little lady is the smallest member of our class, she is far from the smallest in the estimation of her classmates. She has proved such an addition to our number that we can only wish she had been with us all through our course. May she be a great musician and bring honor on herself, P. C, and the Class of ' 10. Marie Torrence, 0 P Gastonia, N. C. A merrier one, Within the bounds of becoming mirth, I never spent an hour ' s talk withal. President of Gamma Sigma, ' 10, last term; Chief Marshal, ' 10; Marslial, ' 09: Second Vice-President Class, ' 08. Three years ago, Marie entered Presljy- terian as a P ' reshman, who, together with all other insignificant Fresh, the conceited Sophomores treated with disdain. It was soon discovered that generalization was unjust,for Marie was certainly an exceptional I ' resh. ' 11 presented too narrow a scope for her brilliancy, so in the fall of ' 08, she entered with ' 10 into the mysteries of the Junior class. She immediately won the hearts of all, and has held them fast ever since. She is our songster, and the pleasure which her voice has given to all will be long remembered after she has left the walls of P. C, and has gone out into the world. We are confident that her career has not yet begun, but that her fame will be widespread, surpassing that of Shu- mann-Heinck and Melba. 20

Where she was born, it matters not; where she will die, it is yet to be determined ; but she has lived, has moved among us; has inspired us by her example; has soothed us by her quiet, restful presence, and has drawn us under her gentle sway. Although her lofty brow bespeaks her giant intellect; though from the long, long, list of honor-rolls, from the first grade to her fair Senior year, her name has never been missing; though the musty books record her wonderful achievements, she is sincerely unconcious of her greatness, and withal is modest and unassuming. ■ No swirls, no eddies, no loitering obstructs the journey of this lilv she passes down the river, not of Usk, but of Life. Quietly, evenly and she floats by us and we smile after her as we say: E ' en her failinsrs virtue ' s side. -maid, as placidly, leaned to Annie Louise Parks, B 0 Ch. rlotte, N. C. Her gentle manners and winning way.s made her the friend of all. Member Pierian Society. Heboid our musician! when she plays, a magic spell is cast over us and we are held mute to the last note. In our eyes she is Paderewski ' s only rival, and we feel sure that in the course of time we shall hear of Louise as an unsurpassed musician. Besides all her musical talent, she herself IS charming and we vote her one of our daintiest and most attractive girls. 19
