Whale er she did was done wilh so much ease; In her alone ' twas natural to please One Belmont has given us Portia; another has given Melva, who like the resident of the first has taught us Uow mercy may be gently given to this earth. It was by her little k ndnesses, so freely and so cheer- fully bestowed, that she won a place among us which time will not be able to efface. Myra Eugenia Lofton, B.A., r S Chattanooga, Tennessee Modesty is a grace of the soul Coming to us from Statesville College, in the middle of the 11-12 term, and being naturally a shy little lady, we hardly knew her until she came back to wear her cap and gown. Then her studiousness attracted our attent on, and with her sweet, lovable disposition she won for herself loyal friends. So in her easy way she went through school until Jun:or Speaking came, but then — she left her accustomed path, and went, to Davidson (?). Eighteen

Those about her. From her shall read the perfect mays of honor As in the olden times the name itself bore testi- mony to the character of the person possessing it, so today we find that Katie has lived up to her name of purity. We have often wondered why her name did not suggest a dreamer, too. Just as surely as we leave her alone for a minute or two, that far-away expression, which suggests a distant object of attention, creeps into her eyes. But Katie does not give all her time to dream- ing, for when duty calls she enters upon her work whole- heartedly; and thus, for what she is and does, we love and honor her. Valera Council, B.A., r 2 Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina Class Tennis Team ' 12-13. To see her is to love her. And love hut her forever In the fall of 1911, there came to us from Young ' s College an attractive little black-eyed g rl who, with her sweet disposition and her winning smile, soon captivated the heart of every member of our class. If you are sad and in trouble, there is no one who can show you more sympathy than Valera. If you are blue and homesick, there is no one who can cheer you up more quickly than Valera. If you are feeling mischievous, and want to do something real mean, there is no one so ready to help you ao Valera. And besides all th s, there is no one who can bring a broader smile to Uncle Jimmie ' s face than Valera does when she strikes the Very point he is fishing for in Psychology. Altogether, Valera is one of the girls who ' S going to be most sadly missed at old P. C. in the years to come.

Dorothy Nims, B.A., n A Mount Holly, North Carolina Her air so modest, her aspect so meel(. Yet so smeet are her charms Three years ago, DoROTHY came to old P. C. to continue her search for knowledge. A very quiet, proper, and modest little maiden is she. Sometimes in Ethics it is very hard for her to convince Dr. Bridges that she does see the point, yet in the field of literature, she is very well read. To be a kindergarten teacher is her aim, so we hear. Her quiet and gentle ways will soon win the hearts of all the little folks. Ruth Rainey.

She doeth little l(indnesses IVhich most leave undone, or despise. For naught that sets one ' s heart at ease. Or givelh happiness or peace. Is low-esteemed in her eyes. ' To know Ruth means to love her. She has cheerily sung her way into the hearts of all of us, from the smallest Freshman to the most dignified Senior. She has also obtained the good will of our faculty, even the most exacting members, the two Drs. and Mrs. Wade — an honor which only a favored few enjoy. She is everybody ' s friend, confidante, and playfellow. Dur- ing her four years of college life, she has been among the leaders of her class; and the long list of offices which she has filled shows the high esteem with which her classmates regard her.
