' ISaby Wayne WAYNE MORRIS FLORENCE, ALA. Tall, gentle, and fair of form, The sweetest that e ' er was born. Wayne seems to have chosen for her motto, All smiles and no frowns. She is well liked, and is always ready to help anyone. She has a special knack in reaching children, and we predict that in a few years she will be one of the greatest of primary teachers. DIXIE WILLIAM SEALE WOODVILLE, TEX. ' Runt, Ilillie And still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. Iiillie must return for a postgraduate course, for what will the girls do without him? He is seldom seen, because the girls are so thick around him. He has made a good record in col- lege, has earned a reputation as a cartoonist, a Sherlock Holmes, a singer, and a starter for something doing when times is dull. LAFAYETTE Jo JOSEPHINE RANSON FLORENCE, ALA. ' Her frowns are fairer far Than the smiles of other maidens are. ' We are glad that jo has stayed with us throughout the year, for we feared the sudden appearance of a large diamond would cause us the loss of a valuable member. She has caused many a gallant knight to lose his heart, and is a faithful member t ' f the buzzers. BROWNING AMIS MADRY FLORENCE, ALA. Madry Spring fever entered in his bones and lingered all the year. ' This is Mr. Nisbet ' s special pet of the senior class. Never known to study except when lumber was out or the Manual Training room was closed! Never mind, Madry, you ' ll learn some day to be a model little boy.

It ilk on ' limmie JAMES McEACHERN LOUISVILLE, ALA. ' lie never flunked, he never lied, I reckon he never knowed how. Jimmie would make a good Sunday school superintendent if he did not love the shady banks of Cypress Creek so much. We know Miss Knight regrets the loss of this Caruso, and hopes to be recompensed by some day hearing this talented soloist at the Metropolitan Theatre in New York. DIALECTICAL The Orator ' L. L. JAMES RUSSELVILLE, ALA. He came, he saw, he left. ' Mr. James is industrious and honored. He is class orator and annual debater. He is especially noted as a society -leader and as a lover. If his good looks doesn ' t get control, a bright future awaits him at the bar, a position to winch he aspires. LAFAYETTE ROSE EDITH MACKAY ANNISTON, ALA. Rose Esther She blushes. Ah! she blushes like a summer rose. Here we have one of the future educators of the country. Famous for her ideas on pedagogical subjects and the ease with w liich she blushes. Just a little more experience is all that is needed to make her one of the shining I mean blushing lights of the times. BROWN INC Ross ROSS O. SHAVF.R FLORENCE, ALA. If well respected honor bid me on, I hold as little counsel with weak fear as you. Ross comes to us from Michigan, and became a full-fledged S. N. C. man at once. He takes a great interest in everything from being A Bull Mooser to a member of the track team. He was a representative to the V. M. C. A. Conference last year, and takes great interest in its workings. He luces Latin, and we can see him occupying a Latin chair now. LAFAYETTE

History of the Senior Class w E can hardly realize that the history of the class of 191 3 has been made and settled forever. Nine months ago we started on onr career as Seniors. There was not a heart but swelled and thrilled with the realization of its new elevation and importance. Even Mr. Seale (com- monly known as Billie ) has not lacked in dignity, for, although he is not quite so tall as the average, he has felt every inch of the height willed him by the class of last year. We have two members in our class, both young men of great worth, who, though they would hardly confess to have ever been less than a Senior, have risen by slow strides from the first grade of the Model School to their present seat of dignity ; and years hence, when their hair begins to turn gray from the toils of life, their dearest memories will hover around the same little Model School. : 1 We are especially honored in having as a member of our class a young lady who has made herself famous as a detective. We all remember how successfully Miss Wayne Morris won this name by capturing the only Outlaw in school in her Ereshman year. School had rocked on until near the middle of the session when the Seniors ' feeling of dignity was changed to one of special privileges. Once during the morning exercises a buzz was heard in the rear of the chapel which sounded very much like the hum of a gear wheel in a sawmill and that was what Dr. Powers called it. Every eye in chapel was turned toward us. For three whole days every way we turned, Buzz-saw Seniors was thrown in our faces. But Dr. Game came to our rescue a few days later. He again held us up as the model for the school, and now even Dr. Powers will say that we have gained our former station. Dr. Game has decided that he had better be careful how he advises young people who do not enjoy teaching to go marry, as his doing so has caused us to lose a member of our class. We are very proud of the fact that we have broken the record of the previous classes and have successfully gotten out an Annual. We hope the future classes will follow our example and improve upon it. Mary Lipscomb. THE END.
