Although Lena does not possess the pro- verbial appearance of a poet and although the world as yet has not been thrilled by the rhythmic flow of her iambie lines, we have only to refer the reader to the poem of the Class of 'I3 in order to prove the first statement in the above classic quotation. Not only in the realm of the Muses of the various kinds of poetry does Lena excel, but she has also invoked the aid of Clio and I call to witness the girls of the first section of Senior History to back me up in saying that she has been wonderfully blessed. Chief Characteristic: Fluency in speech. Chief Recommendation: just herself. Adelphiang Class Poet, '12-'13 5 Y. W. C. A., G. M. M. S. Mabel Claire Winn, B.S. lVl'A'l'l-IEWS, VIRGINIA Moslesty is the grace of the soul. Mabel is another old salt from the Eastern Shore. That section of Virginia is well represented this year and ought to feel proud of its daughters. Mabel is small, very meek and quiet-apparently. She believes in asserting her rights. just look out for these quiet people, anyway! She is also a devotee of the great sleep god. Last year Whenever she was not at roll-call, you would be sure to find her lulled in the arms of Morpheus, which only goes to prove that it is well to take care of the body as well as the mind, for this year Mabel shines forth as one of our brightest literary stars. Chief Characteristic: Modesty. Chief Recommendation: Faithfulness. Ade1phiang.Y. W. c. A., G. M. M. s.

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. S. - -, -5 ...Y 7 4- - Merle Westerman, B.A. Why, faith! methinks she's too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great praise. , Merle is small, but she is some girl for all that. She is not only literary but she is musical and quite a good leader. One thing Merle does love to do is to make all about her speak correctly. VV e think she should teach Grammar after leaving college. Chief Recommendation: Speaking cor- rectly. Chief Characteristic: Making others speak correctly.
