RILLIE KIRVEN If Solomon had ever looked at this girl’s scholastic record he would have blushed for shame for his own stupidity. Yet Billie is not a bookworm — she has taken an active and successful part in all extra-curricula activities and her business ability has proved an asset to her class.

St. John’s will miss Bob. There won’t be anybody to pain- lessly extract reports for the Bulletin or teach Miss Pettis her History lesson. It sounds unkind, but we’ll be sorry to see Bob grab his “dip.” Coker Literary Society, '26, '27: Hayne Liter- ary Society. '28. '29: Orchestra, '26, '27, '28.'29; Pootball, '27. '28: Basket-ball.

ELLEN LYLES Ellen is blue-eyed and conscientious. On Saturday nights, when everybody kills as big a one as possible, Ellen dissipates by studying her Sunday school lesson, and the remarkable part of it is she REALLY has the time of her life. The Freshmen couldn’t get along without Ellen to chaperon them. She always seems glad to take them any- where. We hope next year’s Freshmen will be as lucky.

ROLAND TEW Roland took honors on everything. It’s hard to say whether he used his head or lost his mind when he took such a step — at any rate, he succeeded. And, apparently, he never lost that perfect composure that is a part of his personality. It would be a pity to learn so much and then not do anything with it. Perhaps Roland will some day teach at St. John’s. Hayne Literary Society. '26, '27, '28. '29; Foot- ball. '28; Basket-ball, '29; Baseball,’29: Senior Play; Delta Club, '26. '27. '28. '29. MARY WARE Mary is a human demonstration of the fact that virtue has its own reward. If there ever was a virtuous member of St. John’s, Mary is one. And she has had her reward in the form of honors and popu- larity. Her crowning ambition is to know all the words in the dictionary. She isn’t far from it now.

He is forever being besieged by hair-tonic com- panies who want his picture to use in their ads. Looking after his little sisters is the most serious thing Lesesne ever did. Rice grows wild at first but when it is cultivated it becomes one of the finest things that grows in South Carolina. Hayne Literary Society, '26.
