Mary is one of the many Georgia peaches at Shorter. Everything always seems lovely around her, and if troubles ever beset her no one ever knows about them. Laughing Mary is the best antidote for the blues known. Her ambition is to be president of a select school for girls; and her activities have well fitted her for such a post.

If your imagination is capable of combining a lazy, summer, Southern disposition, a flashing, dry wit expressed in a ' Kama drawl, a quiet will that comes out on top, and a spirit of mischief that cannot be quelled, you have Lou. Polymnians expressed their love for her when they joined her in putting Shorter Spirit into song. And this, Lou, is the way the Whoop- ' em-ups of ' 28 say, We love you. 28

In September, 1924, an unorganized group of actors made its advent upon Shorter Hill. When the curtain rose on the first act the world was astonished that these crude, untrained amateurs should have so soon fitted into their various roles. How could a mere audience be expected to know that behind the scene there was a stage director in whom each member of the cast had im- plicit faith? In the future we shall miss your guidance, Louise, but we shall never forget. Whatever the achievements of the Class of ' 28, whatever our preparation for our roles in the drama of life, we attribute them to the Whoop- ' em-up ideals which you have always held so high.

Fate, in a kindly spirit, dealt Anne a hand that was rich with all the talents she had to offer. But fearing that such an endowment, left undirected, might make the game too easy, she chose as her opponent that master player, Luck. The game is less than half finished yet, but even now the result seems almost sure. Instead of conquering, Luck has simply brought out the fight- ing spirit, the strength of character. Today we know Anne, calm, friendly, sure. Regardless of how long the game or how relentless the opponent, Anne, you have proved yourself in the past, and we ' re counting on you in the future.

JULIA BEVERLY Thomasville, Georgia Pulymnian; Camerata Club, ' 24; Reta Pi Theta. Corresponding Secretary, ' 27, Treasurer, ' 28; Honor Roll, ' 27, ' 28; Le Cercle Francaise. Although Julia isn ' t a Mohammedan, she has her Mecca Atlanta and makes a pilgrimage thence just as often as her pocketbook will permit, and sometimes when it won ' t. We haven ' t decided just which is the attraction Tech, Emory, Oglethorpe, or all. Anyway, there is no doubt that they are all attracted to her, for Julia is a Shorter beauty, and also one of the belles of the school.

Once, long years ago, when Luce was giving her rapt attention to a fairy story, the virtues of economy were enlarged upon. In her childish enthusiasm she determined to employ strict econ- omy along the lines of energy. The early conviction held, and even now Lucy feels that she must think twice before exerting herself unduly. But perhaps it is because she has always guarded it so jealously that, when the crucial moment arrives, she is transformed into a veritable dynamo of energy. These sudden outbursts are a source of constant surprise to those who see only the calm, nonchalant Lucy, but they are the assurance of her capability to those who know her.
