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

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.

Ethel Walker, B.A., r 2 Andrews, North Carolina Cla s Track Team 11-12; Class Basket-ball Team 11-12; Treasurer Gamma Sigma Literary Society ' 12- ' 13; Historian ' 12- ' 13; Historian Society ' 12- ' I3. Faithful, gentle, and good. Wearing the rose of rvomanhood Ethel is the bright and shining light of the Senior Class. If in Logic you come in contact with a syllogism that you cannot work out, just ask Ethel; she will make it all clear. Or if you are doubtful about important points in Ethics, just go to ExHEL, she will soon explain all your doubts away. But Senior History Class is the one in which she is the brightest star — Oh, well! maybe some of the rest of us would be Betas ( beaters ) too, if we had twenty-five bright sparkling little lights pinned right over our hearts to cheer us on our way.

Or as the dial lo the sun Lily joined our class at the beginning of our Junior year, and, as we have found is characteristic of her, at once found her place at the head. There she has remained through Psych. , Ethics, and Senior Math. When others are noisiest, Lily ' s voice is not heard; but when she speaks, we hear — and heed. By her crown ng glory, her athletic fame, and her propensity for doing with her might what her hands find to do, ye shall know her.
