fa 7 vw! 7- f Vera Warren, B.lVI. CONETOE, NORTH CAROLINA Practice makes perfect. To acquire knowledge readily and with facility and yet not to retain it is the charac- teristic of one class of people. To acquire knowledge with some effort and yet, to the credit of those thus doing it, to succeed in making use of their knowledge is the charac- teristic of another class. In general, one or the other of these facts is true with any people and with any branch of learning or art. In particular, the latter fact is true with Vera and her music. Chief Characteristic: Writing harmony. Chief Recommendation: Writing more harmony. Philomathean Literary Society, Y. W. C. A., G. M. M.
