' p iDcrie BORR = li? HoLLEY McLendon, Lafa ette, La. M.E.L., Expression. Before breakfast, September 17, 1913, wben the front door at M. W. C. zras opened, HoUey, with her trunk, was found on the front steps, waiting to be admitted. Various High Schools and Hillman College, did their part in mak- ing her the bright and shining light she now is. HoUey is what you ' d call gifted. She has a long neck, flexible tongue, and ingenious mind, so she has always been in demand when speed and accuracy were needed. She often ex- ceeds the speed limit, especially at inter- collegiate games, where her force and skill as a rooter, is little short of marvelous. Doesn ' t know yet as to her future, but hope something will show up. Winner Smith Expression !Medal, ' 13 ; College Glee Club. ' l3- ' i4; Business Manager Pine Burr, ' 14; I. P.

Ruth is first, last, and all the time, day and night, rain or shine, hot or cold, wet or dry, musical. The oldest inhabi- tants, when wishing to .say that a certain place in question has long been a fixture in the city, always say, Why that has been there, ever since Ruth Neel was made pianist at the first church, and her faithfulness and ability in this capa- city are worthy of emulation. What e er the obstacles she has encountered, she has played right through them, and now she has reached her goal, kind of heart, cheery of disposition, and nimble of finger. Hopes to marry an evange- listic singer, so she can play for him. Philomathean; ] Iusic Club, ' 14. Favorite author; Meredith. Favorite quotation ; Civilized man cannot live without cooks.

•isp [r e BORR = a ViDA Huff j Iize, Miss. Carrie Jackson, Hattiesburg, Miss. B.A., Expression. Carrie discovered America, during the latter part of the last century — Hatties- burg High School, then I. I. C. each contributed to her fund of knowledge, but when M. W. C. was launched by the Baptist of Miss., Carrie cast in her lot, with the promising young College. She has allowed no student to excel her in scholarship, and in every phrase of College life, her influence has been felt. Every girl in school numbers Carrie as her friend. The charm of her per- sonality, with her strong capabilities, have made her a leader in e ery sense of the word.

Favorite quotation: Et tu Brute. By word: I ' m furious for life. Expression. She looks well to have come from Sullivan ' s Hollow, but that famous spot is her native heath. Her exemplary life here has led us to disbelieve many of the unfavorable reports coming up from the Hollow. Vida entered M. W. C. at the open- ing of its first session. Her teachers have never been kept awake at night, worry- ing because she would not work. Her best is always given freely. She has labored faithfully in the College Y. W. A. and her strong leadership has been felt in all the student movements. She hopes to marry a preacher, but until this measure can be effected, she will wield the black gum twig in The Hollow.

f Dme BORR = Verna Oden Hattiesburg, Miss. Domestic Science. Any girl who chooses this course in College has one of two things in mind, she is either getting ready to get married, or to make money. Judging from certain activities observed in the oung lady, it is the opinion of all that she has no de- sire for the filthy lucre. We fear the worst. Ve is very painstaking and pro- ficient in her work, and will do well whatever she undertakes. Favorite author: ? ? Favorite quotation : ? ? Bv word ! ! ! May Rogers Pachuta, Miss. Expression. May, after having finished the High School course at Pachuta, drank of the fountain of knowledge, as it flows at Blue Mountain College, but came here as one of M. W. C. ' s first students. ] Iay is a very splendid young lady — kind, oblig- ing and earnest. The only trouble she has ever given Mother Batson, being caused from a weakness she has for sar- dines and onions, which she consumes in large quanities, when she has access to them. May has taken an active part in all the religious life in the College. Ex- pects to spend her life teaching the Heathen Chinee.
