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. B.A., n a Norcross, Georgia Historian Class ' Og- ' IO, ' 10- ' 11, ' 11-12; Presi- d ent of Y. W. C.

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.

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

Grace ' is in all her steps, heaven in her eyes. In every gesture dignity and love Gentleness, thoughtfulness, generosity — these vir- tues belong to Edna. Her friends appreciate her for her sincerity and loving ways. Edna ' s worst fault is going home to spend every week-end; but this can be forgiven, for her suitcase is always laden with chicken and cake on her return. She is content to struggle with her classmates up many mountains; but when she comes to the one called French, she reaches the summit ea ily, and from that seat of honor pleads with the Dr. ' to be patient with her crippled friends. It is rumored that she IS to be the French instructor of Andrews, N. C, next year. Louise Spong, B.A., IT A Charlotte, North Carolina Treasurer Class 11 - ' 12; Lawyer Class ' 12- ' 13; Annual Staff ' 12- ' ]3. And she is fair, and fairer than that word. Of wondrous virtues Last year, a dainty little ma ' d came from C. H. S., to continue her search for knowledge at P. C. She arrived with a splendid record, having won a scholar- ship while in the High School, and now she is prepared to receive her d ploma, unless a divinely tall man proves a disturbing element. Her sweet disposition makes her beloved by all who know her, and her charm- ing manner made her constant search for Ads. a marked success. Her going forth will leave a vacant place in the hearts of those she leaves behind. Twenty
