ANNA PEARL SMITH, B. S. n A, 2 9 . II N, ' I ' 2, Liberty, S. C. If music be the food of love, play on. Class Basket Ball Team ' 08- ' 99; Critic Pierian Society ' 09-T0; Treasurer Student Body 09- ' 10; Vice-President Class ' H9 ' 10; Annual Staff ' 09-T0; Elected Vice-Pres¬ ident Pierian Society TO- ' U; Vice-Presi¬ dent Y. W. C. A TO- ' ll; Assisant Editor- in-Chief of Annual lO- ' ll but unable to serve “W. C. A.’ll.” The ivory keys beneath her skilful fingers, throb with wondrous melo¬ dies, by the soulful harmony we are carried far beyond sordid, material things, and only descend to earth again to ponder: “How can one so heart¬ less play so well?’’ That question, however, is very easily answered—she does not put her heart into her music simply because she hasn’t one! Besides her musical talent, “Pug is distinguished for her soft, sweet drawl, that feature from which she obtained her nickname, and her adora¬ ble dimples. In spite of her love for music, and other things, she has abun¬ dant affection to lavish upon her friends; and since she is at home this winter and only makes occasional excursions to P. C. these are anticipated wffh joy, but never has a quiet, confidential visit been planned that—Lo! — well, He comes with her! Her abilities are as evident on the tennis court as in the class room, in truth, she excels along many lines—lately she has become quite domestic— but those who love her best all agree that her greatest proficiency lies in music and arts.

LILLIE GREY SHIELDS, A. B. Z 2 Charlotte, N. C. “Around her shone a nameless charm, un¬ marked by her alone.’’ President Gamma Sigma Society ’10-’ll; Assistant Chief Editor Edelweiss ’lO-’ll; Class Prophet ’10-’ll; Student Council ’lO-’ll; Secretary Student B dy ’10-’ll; Critic Gamma Sigma Society ’09-’10; Mar¬ shal Gamma Sigma Society ’09-- ' 10; His¬ torian Gamma Sigma Society ’09-’10; Business Manager Clfss ’09 ’10; Super¬ visor Gamma Sigma Society ’08-’09. This rare and beautiful specimen of the genus “lilium, ” came into our hands some three years ago. Since then she has not only been a leader in her society but in her classes as well. In philosophy she is looked upon with awe, and considered as nothing less than a prodigy, because she is the only one in all her class who has been able to extract more than one “ten” from “Uncle Jimmie” in that most difficult of all mental gymna¬ siums—Dr. Dabney’s Ethics. Nevertheless, there is one huge, luminous fault that is constantly perceptible in Lillie (that is in the last year) and this is that she does not give us even one infinitesimal part of her love—but “Frank-ly” speaking we cannot blame her. 27

LILLIAN GERTRUDE, SMITH, B. L. II A Newberry, S. C. September last “Bill Smith” came to us from Newberry College to finish with us the journey that we had already pursued through many years. Since her arrival she has made many friends. When she came she wore a luminous solitaire which caused much excitement (it was her brother’s?); but soon after Christmas we saw that her spirits were sinking and then we noticed that the ring had dispapeared. But now it seems even a “Penny” would revive her spirits. In spite of her many love-affairs she still remains faithful to “Dr. Dabney.” 29
