LUPINE LEAFLET Dr. FELIX R. HILL, Jr., Outgoing President U U U Mignon Bauman By the resignation of Dr. Felix R. Hill, Jr., from the presi- dency of Westnioorland College, the institution has lost a man who was unusually well-fitted for the position he held He has endeared himself to the hearts of the girls, and it is with deep regret that we see him leave. We feel that West- moorland is not only losing a president who has sacrificed everything for the best interest of the school, but the stu- dents are losing one who was always their friend and help- ful adviser. His'jokes on the faculty members and the girls have en- livened many a montonous day. He always strives to serve the girls in any way he can, and is ever ready and willing to help them to have a good time. His inspiring talks at chapel are looked forward to throughout the day, and are always enjoyed. Dr. Hill is a president in whom are happily combined many essential characteristics. He is not only a scholar and a min- ister of the church, but also an excellent business man. Under his guidance, Westmoorland has increased marvelously, not only in a business way, but her standing has beengraised. During the three years of Dr. Hill's presidency, there has been a marked increase in the general attendance. The col- lege enrollment alone shows an increase of 233fk. Last year, the Academy of Westmoorland College received full affilia- tion with the universities, the college now has an A grade standing, and the Academy is a memberlof the Southern As- sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The faculty has been increased by the addition of several teachers, and the equipment and the facilities of the school have been greatly augmented. Needless to say, these are but a few of the many changes wrought by Dr. Hill, but Westmoorland knows and appre- ciates the work he has done, and realizes that when he leaves, there will be a vacancy which will be difficult to fill.

LUPINE LEAFLET The Portrait Cf A Lady III U Cl Maurine Scott One of the most familiar and busy little figures seen around Westmoorland is that of a woman of medium height. She has long, black, glossy hair, that she puts high upon her head, somewhat in a Psyche knot, which is very becoming. She is one of the few who is able to wear her hair in such a fashion. Her black, piercing eyes are about the most at- tractive of her features. They condemn when we are in the wrong, but when they smile at us and give approval, we feel that it is good to live. Her eyes often laugh out loud when she is teased. Her ruby lips against the olive or dark complexion give a wonderful contrast. The small mouth is usually in motion, for she is a great talker. She ordinarily wears dark clothes, especially browns, for they seem to blend with her peculiar type of beauty. This little busy body has a plan and purpose for everything, and there is nothing done that is not worked out beforehand. She never seems to be flustrated or confused at any time, and she is the leader and director on all occasions. Whether she is waiting upon the girls in the book room, posting notices on the bulletin, calling the roll for church, granting permissions, making an an- nouncement in chapel, or a guest at a reception, she is always the same sweet little woman. COne can see she is the boss of the ranch , as Dr. Hill says.J This wonderful char- acter has been the guide and protector of us girls, and she has taken the place of our mothers in their absence. Anyone can guess that this is a thumb-nail sketch of our dear Mrs. Hill.
