Neatness and efficiency are two of Clara’s out- standing qualities. Whenever we wish a task done well and quickly, we call on Clara Mae. She’s accommodating, too, and never refuses to lend a helping hand. Literary, also. The Li- btary is her favorite haunt, and we’ve a notion that some day our city librarian will be Miss Dutton.

Not only has Ben Ellerbe brains, ability and character, but self-control and poise—remark- able in one of his years. Being master of him- self, it is no wonder he is a leader of others. But what strikes one more than anything else about him is the ease with which he does things. This and his dependability account for the fact that he is called on to perform so many difficult tasks. High in sports, high in scholarship, high in the hearts of his teachers and classmates, is E. B. Ellerbe, Jr. EDWIN DARGAN ERVIN Football '24; Secretary and Treasurer Hayne Liter- ary Society; Vice-President Hayne Literary Society; Vice-President Coker Literary Society; Cheer Lead- er; Vice-President Class ’22-’23-'25. In Edwin we have one of the finest types of gentlemen. Behind his quiet and modest air are the best qualilies that one can possess—manli- ness, courtesy, unselfishness, loyalty and grit. Should we not be justly proud of Ed? THEO AMANDA FLOWERS Member St. John's Literary Society.
