RUTH SEVILLE PORTER,-Special. II A Charlotte, N. C. “Smile on honey, and make folks like you. ’ Class Lawyer ’10-’ll, Business Manager Varsity ’10-’ll; Assistant Business Mana- ager Edelweiss ’10-’ll: President Special Class ’09’-10; Class Basket Ball Team ’07- ’08; ’08-’09, ’09-’10, ’10-’U; Track Team lO-’ll. Ruth, better known as “Rufus,” is popular every where and with every¬ body. She is always in for a good time and delights in making others happy—on the whole she is a “jolly good fellow.” She is attractive not only in her manner but in her personal appearance, also, and was voted the neatest and handsomest girl in school. She is an enthusiastic participant in all athletic affairs and has helped her Class Basket Ball Team win its victo¬ ries since she was a Sub-Freshman. Like the rest of us Rufus has her faults, and the greatest one is her lack of sympathy for those poor creatures who are compelled to take Senior Ethics. While speaking of faults we might also add that she is a confirmed coquette and is responsible for the broken heart of many a Charlotte youth. So far as we have been able to discover, her highest ambition is to spin through life on the front seat of an automobile; but be it in that manner or otherwise we hope it may be a most pleasant journey. 24

MILDRED STEVENSON McCUBBINS, B. S. 2 9 . II X, II A. Salisbury, N. C. “Of softest manner, unaffected mind, lover of peace, and friend of all man¬ kind.” Secretary and Treasurer Class ’08-’09, ’09-’10; Treasurer Student Body ’08-’09; Supervisor Pierian Society ’10-’ll; Stu¬ dents’ Council ’10-’ll; Annual Staff ’10-’ll; Vice-President Y. W. C. A. ’10-’ll; Class Historian ’10-’ll. Mildred, the demure; Mildred, the quiet; Mildred, the sweet; but alas, Mildred, the pretender. For does she not pretend that she is a confirmed man hater? And do we all not know that, in spite of her bold pretenses, there is a soft spot in her heart for the little boy at —— College? And does she not, in spite of the feeble protests of her room-mates, persist in staying up half the night, so that she may have beautiful curls the next day? But those who know her are only too willing to overlook these little failings, if only they may be called her friends. For is she not the truest friend a girl ever had? We all think so and take great pride in her music, her beaux, and her curls. 23

MARGARET ELIZABETH PRITCHARD B. L. rr a Charlotte, N. C. “I am tipsy with laughter.” Sub. Class Basket Ball Team ’08- ' 09, ’09-’10; Class Basket Ball Team ’10-’ll; Class Track Team ' lO- ' ll. Pritchard, by her bright and cheerful smile and sweet disposition, has won the hearts of all her classmates. She never worries, but takes things as they come and helps to cheer others who let their misfortunes crush them. Though small in statue and gentle in speech she is never overlooked, and is especially prominent on the athletic field, where light and graceful she carries off many honors. Among the many girls who have gone for¬ ever from the old College doors not one can be found more loyal to her class, classmates, and Alma Mater than this “dignified little Senior of P. C. ” 25
