LEOLA ETHELDA HANNON, A. B. n A Charlotte, N. C. “Faith, that ' s well said as if I had said it myself.” No one can deny that this maid’s ambitious, for has she not labored night and day to obtain a diploma in two years, and though her constitution may be sadly impaired by this self-same undertaking, she cheerfully sacrifices all for the realization of her highest aim. Leola is the lecturer of the Sen¬ ior Class and though her subjects for discussion are many, her favorite one seems to be, “My Beaux,” whose name according to her is legion, and on whom she lectures regularly on Wednesdays and Fridays, much to the distress of the members of the class who are trying to master “Dr. Dabney.” Along with her faults, she has many good qualities, and in spite of many diffi¬ culties, Leola has remained true to her one purpose in life—to mount the platform on May 18, and receive the long coveted diploma. 18

ELIZABETH GERTRUDE GREEN,B. S. Charlotte, N. C “Bright as the sun her eyes the gazers strike And, like the sun, they shine on all alike.” Although Elizabeth is one of us, she is not among us. She only deigns to make us a visit about twice a week and even then it is only the honored few who share the privilege of enduring the same agonies of the hour for Critic, Harmony, and History Class combined that can really boast of know¬ ing and appreciating her true worth. Here, while others groan, rave, and weep in despair, she alone smiles bravely; tosses her curly head on one side and dares to say : “Mr. Anderson, will this chord do?” Those outside can only pass the door through which comes the melodious sounds of her piano and pausing in wonder say, “Why, how is it that one so small can play so— loud!” Her friends who envy her bright, cherry way reject the dignified, solemn name Elizabeth and dub her just dear old plain Bessie Green, and wish her much success and happiness in her chosen career of pianist—especially in the Y. M. C. A. orchestra. 17

ESTELLE HARGRAVE II A (Art) “Gentle in manners, but gentlest in heart.” Although a very quiet, demure little girl, Estelle has a heart big enough to reach to Davidson. Her eyes have a dreamy, far-away expres¬ sion-due, perhaps, to the effort of trying to reach to the extent of this same heart. Being the only art graduate that P. C. has ever boasted, her reputation is, therefore, great, and will remain so long after she has passed from its halls. Picture after picture grows beneath the stroke of her brush, and we often wonder whence spring all these wonderful ideas into the head of one so young and seemingly innocent. We hope that the happiest picture that Estelle can conceive will be realized in her own future, and that she may go on through life enjoying only those things which are most beautiful. 19
