i fuinr Pnrm As I sit and watch the sun Sink behind the western hills. And I look into the future, My heart with joy and sorrow fills. Yes, it ' s sad to think of leaving Those whom we so truly love. Knowing that we ' ll never meet them Till we reach the home above. Sorrow, at the thought of parting From my schoolmates all so dear; And to know that never more We will be together here. But it ' s joy to know we ' re ready To begin life ' s work aright. And we ' ll take our places bravely In the thickest of the fight. Never more to walk the campus Arm-in-arm with some dear friend, Trusting her with every secret. Her, in whom you can depend. Let us face life ' s sternest duties With a courage strong and true. Knowing well that vict ' ry cometh To the brave and faithful few. Then, be brave, my Senior Sisters, You will conquer, never fear! If you ' re always truly faithful. To the lessons taught you here. Class Poet ' 13.

EULA LEE BUCKLEY PINOLA, MISS. A voice, gentle, soft and low, an excellent thing in tvoman. - Shakespeare. Eula who receives a diploma in piano is one of our most conscientious students. She is thoroughly in love with music, highly appreciative of the beauties of the work, and accepts uncomplainingly all the drudgery of the daily hard work. The gentleness of her nature seems echoed in- the lightness of her touch, and the strength of her character is suggested by its accuracy and firmness. We believe that the qualities we know her to possess will assure her success as she goes from these halls. Diplomain piano: Class Poet; Treas. Hermenian Society: College Librarian. PEARL DUCKWORTH MOUNT OLIVE, MISS Her air, her smile, her motions. Told of ivomanly completeness; A music as of household songs. Was in her voice of sweetness. — Whittier. Miss Pearl is perhaps our most dignified Senior. It can be said of her that no member of the class is a harder or closer worker, always at class, always doing her very best, she has worked her way toward the goal of the college girl— her diploma. As she has already successfully trained the young idea, she is Dean of the Teacher ' s Club. She will carry with her the best and kindest wishes of faculty and students. Pres. Hermenian Soc. second quai-. : Sec. of Senior Class: Pres. Teacher ' s Club. RUBY BATSON HATTIESBURG, MISS. Many love music for music ' s sake. Many because her touches can awake Thoughts that repose ivithin the breast half-dead. And rise to follow ivhereshe loves to lead. —Landor. Ruby is also a graduate in piano. She is our only local Senior in music and our only Ruby and we are proud of her. She has wonderful talent in music and her renderings always charm those who hear her. She is lo ' ed by all who know her. has attractive and winning ways and is fond of social gatherings. She expects to follow her profession in music and our best wishes are to her in her undertakings.

' utnr Qllass fritpb rg In making a prophecy of the future of the class of ' 13 I do not feel that I am playing in the vague realm of mystery but rather that I am talking of the great realities of life. Out on the sea of Destiny we are not sailing under sealed orders, but our fate like an open scroll lies before us if we will but read. Let us not think that we are puppets, merely creatures of circumstance, for why has God given us our minds and intellect if it is not to shape our own destiny ? When I think of the ability and the possibilities of the girls of class ' 13, I cannot but predict for each and everyone of them a successful—not brilliant perhaps, but nevertheless successful- life. Of course the hardships, trials and discouragements will come, but it is through these that we gain strength to climb to higher heights. From our number, although small, will go repre- sentatives into every calhng of modern woman. Whom shall we see first, bearing our standard into the musical world but Lucy Hall, Eula, Vera and Ruby, each trying to better the world with her special talent. In art, the expression of all that is beautiful and wonderful in this world, Lucile is found as the painter of some of the greatest masterpieces. In the benighted land of the heathen, where the bravest and best heart is needed to endure the toil and hardships in enlightening these people to civilization, Sophia is the great and successful worker. Certainly some one of us must fathom the scientific problems that confound the nation and it is here that Pearl comes forward with her learning in astronomy to win honor and glory for herself. ' Tis said that Home is the proper place for woman, and how great it is that one of the girls of class ' 13 is capable of managing well household duties! None other is but Gertrude. In the present day the weaker sex must undergo much ridicule as to the position she takes in political aff ' airs, but some day it will be fully reahzed that the better- ment of the country ' s welfare is due to the wise and strict lead that will be taken by woman in voting. Why should not one of our classmates become prominent in this phase of life? By her ability as a great leader and because of her domineering qualities, Raba can ' t escape her calling. By their deeds ye shall know them. —Class Prophet.
