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.

Doors slam, winds blow, teachers rave, pupils weep, yet Sue Nelle remains calm and serene. Juniors, follow her and you’ll carry your Senior dig- nity in the correct manner. St. John’s Literary Society: Glee Club. ’29; Local Editor Bulletin, '28. SUE WOODS Sue’s conversation is composed largely of giggles. She will marry a man because she can say sw et nothings. Sue likes people easily and people like her easily, and so life is sure to run smoothly for her.
