DAISY WILLARD KIDD, B. L. II A Charlotte, N. C. “And the daisy, golden-hearted, sheds its stars for you and me.” If you want to know anything in history, just ask Daisy. If there is anything concerning the Bible you want to know, just ask Daisy. She has an abundant store of such knowledge, and also plenty of argumentative abilities. Her chief occupation at present is arguing about anything that comes up on any subject of Political Science, Evolution, Railroads, Civil Engineering and A. and M. College. She is a good-natured, true-hearted, whole-hearted Baptist and never fails to stand up for her rights. She, like the flower whose name she bears, is always bright and sunny; but in the other sense in which the name is sometimes taken, she is a “daisy.” 20

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

In the fall of 1907 a large number of new girls were assembled in the Freshman study hall. Every one watched them with interest for did they not represent all the possible greatness of the future? Soon, however, one little curly haired girl named Miriam, seemed to rise above all the others. From the first she proved herself to be as the old expression goes: A nat¬ ural born leader.” We would not have you believe her an “angel” for she was far from it as many of the poor long-suffering faculty might prove by bringing to mind the usual string of heartrending scrapes and escapes. Soon others besides her classmates recognized her talents and she was made leader on the athletic field and captain of our loved and famous varsity. We fear, however, that here she found the attractions of the coaches almost as great as those of the basket ball. Even in this, her last year, she so sprained her eyes winking at the little boy next door that many times she did not appear in the chapel and then we all knew that the doctor had prescribed a day’s sleep for Miriam. 21
