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.

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. LOL ' ISE GAINES Dothan, Alabama Pulymnlan, President, ' 28; Kid Club; H. O. T.; Do Nothing; Beta Pi Thcta, Secretary; International Uclatinns Club; Aruo Staff, ' 28; Y. V. C. A. Cabinet.

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

What will Shorter be like when Cherub takes her smile to some point far distant from Rome? Has there ever been anyone else as cheerful, good natured and fun-provoking as our Cherub ? There will remain behind her a train of pleasant memories Cherub as little George Wash- ington with hatchet and three-cornered hat, Cherub as a red-faced, bewhiskered Santa Claus, Cherub in flaming red wig singing Animal Crackers , Cherub as ring-master of the circus in red coat, puttees and black silk hat, Cherub in her yellow smock and tarn jazzing off rhythm with the Syncopators. These and countless other memories will hold her on Shorter Hill. May she continue to scatter sunshine and good cheer through all her future walks of life. MARGARKT BROWN Rome, Georgia Polymnian; Rome Girls ' Club; International Relations Club. Margaret is one of those girls that people admire because she is so willing to do a favor for anyone who asks it. Girls on the Hill who enjoy rides in automobiles so seldom as to consider it as a novelty to ride, will remember Margaret kindly for her generosity with her car and the accommodating spirit with which she has endeared herself to many. This accommodating way of Margaret ' s is the least of her attributes, however, for she possesses a very friendly disposition and a charming personality.
