Margaret Smith Woodcock Fye! what a spendthrift she is of her longue! Margaret is a native of our little city. Ever since we have known her she has been of an inquiring mind audit has always been a puzzle to her why the art of perpetual motion could not be acquired, and determined that when she reached the High School she would make a special study of Physics to find out if she couldn’t invent some plan by which she could talk all of the time, and this plan she nearly accomplished much to the discomfiture of her hearers. But “ things are never so bad but that they might be worse,” for Margaret needed a few hours for sleep, hence her failure to carry out this, her long-cher¬ ished plan. She has shown quite a little talent for poetry and is the class prophetess and Alumni Editor of “The Tatler.” 124 )

Martha Katharine Toadvine “ She thinks loo much Such maids are dangerous Martha is one of the meek and lowly ones of ’05. Iler charming modesty and unaffected grace are really a puz¬ zle to most of us and we feared she was on the road to that happy (?) region, “Old Maidsville,” to avoid which she did not seem to care. Recently however her tactics have been changed, and from the great interest she manifests in the lower grades, particularly the eighth, she doubt¬ less will :n time recover from this indifference. She is remarkably fond of locating cities in various parts of the country, and can give information at a moments notice about the situation of Evan sville. She is one of the mu¬ sicians of ’05 as well as one of its good students. How¬ ever, the class is famous for these, so she is just one among the many of that noble band. Nina Grace Venables “ luingh and the wot Id laughs 7cith you Weep and you weep alone Nina is not given to tears if she were we think she would try to overcome it for it would be a very sad thought to her to travel through life alone. She is unselfish in her affec¬ tions sharing them equally between “company” and “ something to eat.” So fond is she of the latter that she has often been heard to declare, “ I’ll eat my hat,” a feat we have never seen demonstrated. She sometimes laughs. We suppose she is amused but others say it is because she has dimples. We are sur e that she possesses a goodly share of vanity but she never seems to take it as a com¬ pliment to be told that she has a bright head. We have a remembrance of one day when she was not moved upfront for talking but she said she had rather sit up front than die from not talking and we still enjoy the great opinions of a fertile mind. Myra Waller “ l ull many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air Myra is from the town with the biblical name, Ilebron, and whether there is something in a name or not she has very devout notions and very religious ideas. So pious has she become of late that she will not dance any more but the source of her piety here might be in the fact that one of the “ Big Four” of our class does not attend balls and his influence is so far reaching that it has enveloped her. Unlike that of the flower, the warm wave of color is very often seen to rise to her face. We are sure she is not aware of it, for her modesty is so great that she would not even allow herself to blush if she knew it. Myra is thoroughly conscientious in her work and be¬ lieves it pays to do right. She is kind and her kindness is having its effect upon the captain of the football team. [ 23 ]
