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. Lily Walker, B.A., r 2 Spray, North Carolina Editor-in-Chief of Edelweiss ' 13; President of Gamma Sigma Literary Society ' 12- ' 13; Marshal ' 11- 12; Captain Class Basket-ball Team ' 11 - ' 12, ' 12- ' I3; Scrub Basket-ball Team 11-12; Treasurer Y. W. C. A. ' 12- ' 13; Class Tennis Team ' 11 - ' 12; Class Track Team ' 11 - ' 12, ' 12- ' I3; All-Class Ba;ket-ball Team ' 12- ' 13. True as the needle lo the pole. 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.

Sara Edna Rankin, B.A., r S Belmont, North Carolina Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' I2- ' 13; Secretary Gamma Sigma Literary Society ' I2- ' I3; Secretary Class 1 2- ' 13; Class Tennis Team ' 12-13. 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

May Beverly Alexander, B.L., n A Charlotte, North Carolina President Class ' lO- ' ll; Marshal 11; Varsity ' 10- ' ll; Sophomore Basket-ball Team ' lO- ' ll; Sopho- more Track Team ' lO- ' ll; Vice-President Class 09- ' 10; Varsity ' 09- ' 10; Captain Class Basket-ball Team ■09- ' l0; Class Basket-ball Team ' 09, ' lO ' ll; Captain Class Basket-ball Team ' lO- ' lI; Annual Staff •|2- ' 13. O, she ' s ga ! O, she ' s siveel, O, she ' s a wise maid and discreel, O, she ' s rare, and O, she ' s fair. She is everv wa i complete. As a country grieves over the loss of its land- mark, so will P. C. mourn over the loss of one Vk ' hom everyone loves and admires. Beverly first came before tjie notice of all as a winner in basket-ball. She not only carried off all the honors in athletics, but has held a first place in the hearts of all P. C. maidens since, and her name has always appeared in the Annual as one of the most attractive and most lovable girls. Even though she is leaving P. C. this year, her winning ways will never be forgotten. Ruth Blankenship, B.L., n A Charlotte, North Carolina Vice-President Class ■09- ' 10; Manager Class Basket-ball Team ■09- ' 10; Varsity Team ' 09- ' ! 0; Cap- tain Class Basket-ball Team 10-11; Secretary Athletic Association 10-11; Treasurer Athletic Association ' 1I- ' I2; Annual Staff 10-11; Business Manager Class •1I- ' I2; Class Prophet ' 13. She is preliy to rvallf rviih, and Tvitiy to iall( wilh. And pleasant, too, to thinl( on Our dainty, attractive, petite RuTHIE has tripped her carefree happy way through her four years of col- lege life here with us. She speaks well in modern lan- guages and English, and is a star in the gym down- stairs; but she finds the exercises in Dr. Bridges ' mental gymnasium rather more difficult sometimes. Ruth ' s voice is her most priceless possession. We, her classmates, expect in future years to be even still more proud of her than we are now, for we are looking forward to her rivaling even Cluck as one of the foremost sopranos of the world.
