MAHCEIN reminds us of this kind of plant. Determined and self-reliant, she ntalces her own way and a pretty good one at that . , . Giving us a golden opportunity to enjoy her wit and humor . . . PATSY resemhles the golden rod-both treasured and widely known. XVhen you hear those l5 rahsn for Gantt, you'll know Patsy is somewhere near. Although the golden rod may he seen swaying hy a dry roadside, the party which Patsy attends will never he dry . . . The pansy, a small thoughtful plant gives rise to thoughts of EDITH, who is also small and thoughtful. Both have manv nielcnanies and can adapt themselves to all conditions. XN'e might add that she's naughty hut nice . . . Because ol' his sunny disposition HUSSEIL portrays the sun- flower-Tall, straight and upright in stature as well as in character. He was planted as a seed in another school hut was transplanted and is springing up with us this year . . . Eyes, eyes and more eyesukremind us of potatoes and ,f'll.lClf. How does she see everything and know everything? Shes always there when the fun and jolces are in progress. ller wit and personality Qand attractive hlue eyesj together. inalxe her a splendid per- son . . . The Violet-shy and sweet, is a flower thats pleasant to have around. 'lihat's just why we associate ALIHINE with this ilower. She is quiet but when it is necessary, she can always do her part . . . 1.01 fl, the lily oi the valley!'ls not this lily pure? VVhat fuller can procure a white so perfect, spotless, clear, as in this ilower doth appear? . . . The head ol' the dandelion is a lovely gold:n yellow, eomparahle to Sflllflli MCDONXU IYS golden yellow hair. Although the dandelion may easily he extinguished, Saralvs humor is unextinguishahle. 'lhe dan- delion is the delight of the poet -Sarah is the delight of all the students. ,4t first they were considered HSIJVOILISN., but the year passed and ll new erop of sprouts tools' their plaees.

Speaking of plums, we think ll'lARGARlfT BAGVVELI. is Plum nice. Shes a Peach of a sport tool Her quiet fun has added spices to our fun diet . . . Quite often some of our most pleas- ant mcmories are connected with our best liked vegetable, and every year we must have it planted again in our gar- den. If we lose the seed of it and ean't replace it. we miss it tremendously. ELAINE was planted lirst in VVest Gantt and she's come hack each year more pleasant than before. VVe'll miss her next year . . . It is said that the hardest head of cabbage is the best, and too, hardheaded SAMMIE is the best kind of a person. A good time is his theme of life and practical jokes his topic. Education is not in his line and his slogan is all work Cand no playD makes Sam a dull hoyf' but since this doesnt hurt his conscience. it shouldnt hurt ours . . . JANE might he com- pared with the lilac for none can lic-lak ,lane and get by with it. Her ability to take and dish out a joke has made her an object of attraction. Nurse-rymen have devoted considerable attention to the lilac . jane has received considerable attention from the students-:QFD and teachers . . . The sturdy marigold4right there through heat or cold and staying just the same. A plant that can be counted on for longalived service. IQLIZABETII, that's you. ll' you want a job done and she can do it at all. just let her know . . . If it's frail beauty we want in a llower gar- den, wc'd probably plant some llaster lilies. Right along with those in our thoughts is MARCARIZHI' IEARI,,E-- Fair, gentle. and delicately sweet, Shcls the type of person who never tires of doing favors for people-a typically Southern l-lower . . . The Blue Day Lily and the fair blue-eyed ANNE are very much alike. ln the lily family the colors vary from white to scarlet. ln Anne the colors also vary from white to scarlet, 'cause we know she is capable of blushing. They soon lerirnerl to tell the destructive weeds from helpful fellow plants. N..
