MUSETTE BOONE, Poplarville, Pearl River County. Mississippi. Strong in will and rich in wisdom, Yet so lovely sweet. When Musette finished at Angie High School she was desirous of attending college, and hoped that some day she would be an instructor of English or Latin in some college in the North. lt was this desire that led her to the Normal College. She has applied herself very dili- gently to her work, and is ambitious for all that is right and good. She truly lives up to her motto: I must not waste my time. Musette is interested in all her work here and, last but not least, law at 'Ole Miss.' DIXIE B. CLANTON. YVaynesb0r0, Mississippi. She is pre-tty to walk with, Witty to talk with And pleasant, too, to think on. Dixie, as you will judge from her name, is a true daughter of our Southland. She embodies the best ideals which have been handed down to us from our fathers, being kind. thoughtful, and conscientious in her every action. She has made a friend of every student with whom she has come in contact. But Dixie's friends are not confined to the campus, and we predict for her a great future as her highest ambition is to become the wife of an Earl. Though small in stature she has great ability, as is shown by her various lines of work. She is teacher of one of the Sunday Morning Bible Classes, Vice-President of the Y. W. C. A., member of the Honor Council, Mis- sissippian Literary Society, Story-Tellers League, Tennis and Basket Ball Clubs. But why go on- You know the rest.

.nrt CLYTEE EVANS BARNES Crystal Springs, Mississippi. A most faithful fair maid is our Clytee, And in everything Wise she is right-ee, We all love her, that's sog Give her up? Oh, you know No fond son dare kidnap her! We'd fight him. You will find her at every class, ready and eager for work. Also at every class election, business meeting, and the like she is on time and ready to help push things through. She is a living contradiction of the old saying that the most valuable things are always done up in the smallest bundles. Clytee plays as hard as she works-look out for her if you are sensitive about being teased. If you make her own up, her most loved sport is nominating friends for the Honor Council. MATTIE SUE BOONE, Poplarville, Pearl River County, Mississippi. Best be yourself, Imperial, plain and true. We are proud of the girl we call Mattie. She came to us from Angie, Louisiana. She is a very studious girl. The plans she has in mind we dare not ask her for fear she will not tell. Her first year was hard for her, but through pain and suffering she bravely faced the light. Throughout her stay with us she has remained the same patient girl. She never worries or gets in a hurry. Mattie has won a good name not only as a student, but also as a teacher and holds the love of all her pupils. No one attempts to plan her future, for when asked what she ex- pects to do, she answers Nothing much, I guess. We know that she is joking, and judging from her talents we expect to find her an instructor in mathematics some- where in Louisiana.

HELEN KELLER CLAYTON, Booneville, Prentiss County, Mississippi. Helen is the girl for the job. That is the answer you get to any inquiry regarding work in the student activities, whether it be in Y. W. C. A., Student Govern- ment, Athletic Association, or Mississippian Literary Society. Even though continually busy, she can always stretch her schedule to make time to help you out of any diffi- culty. And, moreover, her very cheerfulness in doing anything convinces you that she would rather have smiles than frowns the cause of her wrinkles. Helen is popular not only with the students, but also with the faculty. Nobody denies this factq else, how can the 100 in Trig and the A's in history and hygiene be explained? But, of all her studies, Helen likes geography best-especiallyifthat part of Texas and Mississippi that deals with Houston, HENRIETTA LONGSTREET CLEMENS, Macon, Mississippi. She is quite different from most folks you seeg For she talks with her hands as much as that can beg She could not exist without motions fantastic- ln classroom discussions she's really gymnastic! Attractive in looks, brown eyes and blonde hair, A responsible name, but never a careg Henrietta Longstreet it would be if she had much pre- cision, But her steadfast indifference won't permit this decisiong We call her Rit, which suits her to a T, For she abbreviates her cares, you see.
