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.

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.

MARY COLE Moscow, Kemper County, Mississippi. In stature small, But lust the same dear girl to all. To most of her friends Mari' seems very quiet, modest and reserved, but those who know her best find that she is full of fun and always ready for a joke. Mary spent two years at M. S. C. W., but fortunately for us she decided to come to the Normal College. She has proved a good student and a loyal friend. Her chief diversion is going to the post office. Mary says that she is going to teach, but we have our doubts. As it is, we think that when she leaves the Normal College she will find the Key which will unlock the door to greater success and life-long happiness. fl EMILY COOK. Hattiesburg, Mississippi. We could live without fameg We could live without books: But how in the world could we live without Cooks? Cookey has been on the Normal College campus ten years. Oh, don't get excited! She isn't stupid at all: shefs been in school only three years. You see her father is President of the College and naturally she stays here. Emily is a mixture of efficiency and indifference. In fact, she hides behind a wall of indifference, but those who have been fortunate enough to break through have found their efforts fully repaid. She has another combination and that is determina- tion and freedom from worry. She never hurries: still she is at the proper place on time. She will accomplish anything she undertakes regard- less of obstacles. As chairman of the hnance commit- tee of the Y. W. C. A.g Vice-President of the Basketball Club, and President of the Diploma Class, she served with such efficiency as to uphold the family honor. If day dreams come true, we think Vanderbilt will be greeting Emily next year as a student. On the whole Cookey has few troubles. Possibly, we may be safe in saying that the only one is that she Dredlsl Scottl'si Decision?
