of her own defeat. To marshall her on her way she chose Ollie and Brandy, with Rhodsey to bank the project, for 1913 was at her height. She furnished her room with pillows, she held Junior Tea every other week to promote sociabilityg but above all, she produced the Annual. This Her- culean feat she accomplished with no flaw in her outward serenity. Although busier than ever before, owing to renewed responsibilities, she was able to play with her small sister class and to guide her steps aright. Perhaps her greatest pleasure was the theater party at Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary'--at which the Freshmen were hostesses. IQI3 will continue on her sweet, untroubled way. In her senior year she will tread her difliculties under foot in the undaunted manner of her Freshman days, and when she turns her face to the world, that same indomi- table purpose will bear her to pinnacles much higher than those she has as yet attained. Success to von- lncoinparable 1913! .XX N sf ,M F rg- Y s -0lAfx1i.: Y iv' -4 g-,,.. 24

l might. Evora DuMez has passed from earth . The powers above well knew her l worth And now in the Elysian fields l 1 In Memoriam Since the great men of days now gone Have writ their epitaphs in song So that they'd be appropriate And have some reference to their fate, The Sophomores we this service do. Much time and thought it's taken too! rf Mabel Blair was a shining light. She shone and shone with all her She's cooking scientific meals. Helen Clarke lies under this mound In life she weighed 500 pound. Margaret 'Woodruffs in the ground The way she made her one piece gown Fair took the angels by surprise And made them want her in the skies. Mary Bert when death did get her Asked to be buried in her red sweater. Mahren Finnerud will ne'er come back She's even left that dear man jack In automobiles on the golden way She's taking joy rides every day. NVinnie Cox died in the rush After a popular Senior crush. Alma Masters used to be Thin, her first year at R. C. Now she occupies a block Underneath this little rock. l May Granger climbed the heavenly heights With a twinkle in her eye. U Illl give no encore breakfasts now Or know the reason why. XVe feel quite sure that if she's there She's shining now, on the golden stair. Beneath this sod all grassy green jenn Brown, the President, lies serene, They say the angels have implored her To teach them Robert's Rules of order. To pick up dropped rs in fiery Hades Is the task assigned to Bernice Geddes. Cecil Palineterls gone to the skies She died of a funny twitch in her eyes. It got the boys, I'm here to say She had them all a-coming her way. In this crooked grave of dirt and clay Poor Frances Madison's laid away. Her life so crooked was, you know, In straighter grave she could not go. Mary McFarland's blown to thunder And, good gracious, it's no wonder For in her closet, out of sight, She oft made fudges in the night. 26
