MARGARET CATHARINE. BRICK.ENSTEIN Winston-Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay ; Beethoven and His Nine Symphonies Secretary of Class. 1909-10. She can on either side dispute ; And then change sides, and still dispute. ' Pec is one of the foundations of our class, hav- ing grown up with it from the time of the stone ages. She is one of the peacemaking (?) mem- bers, and ever uses her influence to promote good fellowship. MIRIAM LIZETTE BRIETZ Winston-Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay: North Carolina and the Civil War She wastes no word On the common herd. History does not go back far enough to tell when Miriam joined what now constitutes the Class of 1913, but it records a most faithful attendance — ihough truly she is so quiet that no one knows when she is present.

JULIA GREENE ADAMS Winston. N. C. Entered 1910-191 I Essay : Transcendentalism Julia is so talt and thin. She looks just like a might-have-been. Since joining our class, in our Sophomore year, Julia has been noled for precision and prompt attendance both in chapel and in class. Her greatest weakness lies in always giving up to her opponent, and we greatly deplore this fault. FLORENCE ESTHER BINGHAM Daytona. Fla. Entered 1910-191 I Essay : Class Prophecy Class Basket-Bali Team. 1911; President of Class. 1911-12; Assistant Editor of SlCHTS and Insights. 1911-12; President Euterpean Literary Society. 1912-13; Editor-in-Chief of Sights and Insights, 1912-13; Literary Editor of The Ivy. 1912-13; Secretary and Business Manager Athletic Association. 1912-13; Class Prophet, 1913. Let a fool hold her tongue, and she mill pass for a sage. We have given Flossie the title Fido, because, in her trustfulness and dependency on others, she is very like her canine namesakes. She has never been able to take care of herself, which seems peculiar in one so large, and her deference to the wishes of others shows a self-forgelfulness which is almost inexplicable. We can not force this meek and gentle maid to be the least bit bossy, or self-assertive, and she has puzzled us greatly; but we have con- cluded that she is one of those phenomena of Nature which must be taken for granted. 25

MARY HAZEL BRIGGS High Point, N. C. Enlered I9II-I9I2 Essay: Cause and Effect of Health Movement in United States Class Team, 1911-12-13; Scrub Team, 1911-12; Glee Club, 1911-12-13; Tennis Manager, 1912-13;. Senior Quartette, 1912-13; Exchange Editor of The h]f, 1912-13; St. Cecilia Club, 1912-13; Adver- tising Editor of Sights and Insights. We desire you l eep m mind Thai a purpose is behind. Hazzie is one of those unfortunates who have loved and lost, and she consoles herself by raising her melodious voice in song. For some time we mistook this melody for an owl ' s screech, and it brought the same bad luck, for we have never ceased lo be disturbed by it. However, we forgive her this, since her sweet and considerale nature is a recom- pense for much. PAULINE CARTER BROWN Salem, N. C. Entered 1909-1910 Essay : History of the Moravian Church The Fiends looked al her, and were abashed. PAULINE is such a demure, timid little creature that we all tread lightly when around her. Her sainl-like ways are a wonder lo us all, and we fear the early termination of her existence on this ac- count, if not from brain fever.
