President Secretary Treasurer Poet Prophet Gertrude Polk Pearl Duckworth Sophia Sutton Eula Buckley Gertrude Polk Fair were they to behold, the Seniors of that Woman ' s College. When in the session they bore to the class room their text books. Lessons so well learned; then ah, fair indeed were those maidens; Fairer were they when on Sunday morn at Sunday School time. Down the plank walk they passed with their Bibles and Sunday School papers. Wearing their Oxford caps and robes of black and their class pins. When they had passed it seemed like the passing of exquisite music. [With apologies to Evangeline]

LUCILE MOODY MAXEYS. GA. I can do with my pencil what I know, what I see, what, at bottom of my heart I wish for. — Robert Browning. Lucile is our only graduate in art. By industry she has developed her natural ability, and we are truly proud of her accomplishments, and we believe yet she will jjush forward to the unattained heights, for A man ' s reach should exceed his grasp, or what ' s a heaven for? To her talent and hard work. The Pine Burr owes many of its little sketches. She is a favorite socially and has been a help in the religious life of the School. President Art Club; Secretary Philomathean Society, first quarter; President Y. W. A. : Art Editor of Pine Burr. LUCY HALL PACK HATTIESBURG MISS She sang his heart away, away. She sang his heart away. — Stauntoyi. If the girls of Woman ' s College were to be asked whether they had ever seen any one so full of music that it oozed out at both voice and finger tips, they would say with one accord. Lucy Hall. This musical genius is quiet, unassuming and modest and is said to be the hardest working music pupil at the college. She is popular with students and faculty, will answer a young man if he speaks to her and is blessed with the happiest features of face and disposition. She expects to devote her life to her chosen specialty. Glee Club; Graduate in Piano. Member Y. W. A. and Philomathean Society; Associate Editor of Pine Burr. SOPHIA OPHELIA SUTTON PRENTISS.
