WALTER BENNETT LEWIS Salisbury, Md. “Speech is silver, silence is gold” Walter is as quiet and unassuming as it is possible for any living person to be, and, although we will not miss his chatter, since he is not addicted to chattering, we will doubtless miss his ready answers in class. Tor if Walter is not studying, he is getting ready to study, and if he is not getting ready to study, he is taking down notes on what he has already studied, lie is a conscientious and earnest scholar and if perseverance will win Walter will, for he is perseverance incarnate. “Timekiller” MARY LAROYTA LITTLE Salisbury, Md. “She doeth the little kindnesses, That others leave undone It lias often been said that the best of material comes in the smallest of packages and it may once again be applied—to Mary. She is an accom¬ plished actor if judged from her Assembly appearances; an experienced stenographer from her report; a devoted follower of the Golden Rule from the number of people she helps. As to that matter of aid, who is there who will not plead guilty? She has assisted in many things, from typing our latest play to consoling us in petty grievances. She is a sister to every member of our class. “Little Mary”

IVA LARSON Mount Vernon, Me 1 “Her looks do argue her replete with modesty’’ Iva joined our stately carivan at the beginning of our present year journey. She hails from a distant village, but lias made herself completely at home in this one and has won her way into tlie hearts of a remarkable number of our population, or should it be our gallant population. She is a quiet girl, but thoroughly alive and possessed of typical American humor. Iva has a multitude of worries and sorrows. She is a pupil of Miss Morris and a companion aspirant of Carrie and Katherine for a teach¬ er’s diploma And she will get it, that is well known, for Iva believes in working early and late and persevering at all times, bo she must surely succeed. CHARLES THABOR LEVINESS Salisbury, Md. “Every man is the architect of his own character” In Charles we have that rare combination—youth and genius, lie is a powerful orator, an enthusiastic athlete, a perfect Senior, and a staunch friend. He has a wonderful vocabulary and uses it effectively to overcome win msoever he may encounter. For the last four years Charles has par¬ ticipated in all track events and so distinguished himself as a track man that he was elected to the noble position of Captain; and he is also efficient¬ ly filling the place of our Coach, Mr. Phillips, who entered the Army. On the Soccer field he has held a place and it is our hope that his name will be wrilten in the annals of Princeton’s Athletics. He is a member of the Fi¬ nance Committee and chairman of our Publicity Committee, in which ca¬ pacities he has exercised his executive ability well. He is a staunch friend, especially of the fair sex and it is generally said among them “that Charles LeViness is some chap.” “Charlie” 22

CORDELIA FRANCES MALONE Salisbury, Md. “I love tranquil solitude And such society as is quiet, wise and good.” She is a thorough believer in the adage, “Nothing ventured, nothing have,” and does not always determine the exact type of hornet’s nest she is about to jump into before she performs the act. But she inevitably re¬ tains the memory of her various exploits and profits thereby. It is sup¬ posedly because of this latter habit that, she is becoming sagacious and in¬ tolerably wise. Frances is to enter Randolph-Macon where she will acquire more knowledge and more “dignity,” where she will leave behind her the old order of thought and, maybe (it is quite possible) she will become even as Miss Dashiell. But, such is life! Frances will become a highly lettered lady of several degrees and we will gaze upon her in awe; no doubt we will criticise her behind her back but she will bring more honors to the old W. EL S. Yet, such is fate! NELLIE IRENE MARSHALL Salisbury, Md. “Her only fault is that she has no fault” For a person of a quiet appearance, no one more belies her character than Nellie. Not that she is boisterous Oh no! Far from such a thing! She is a veritable “pink of propriety” but, in some way or another, she en¬ ter into all capers generally cut by a “dignified Senior.” She has been with us for four years and her face will be among those we will long re¬ member as having been of the crew of our particular ship.
