Senior Class Irene Lott Sumrall, Miss Not afraid to ivork. but not in s )m- palhv with it. Irene first opened her eyes and benan to chirp near Sumrall, IViississippi. It has been a much debated question as to when she arrived on terra firma. Be- cause of her thorough preparation, she vva5 able to enter the Sophomore class at the Woman ' s Colleoe in the fall of ' 16. She has made many friends among teachers and girls during her stay at the Woman ' s College. Irene i always ready to give a cheerful word; jovial and good-natured, right there with the wit and the largest yarn. An old saying is to be- ware of red-headed people, but in this case you need have no fear; on the contrary, if you need a friend, just go to Irene. When she leaves, the Woman ' s College will lose a devoted adherent and a good sport. A brilliant future for her is assured.

With stately poise and dignity Era glides, conquering studies, honors, males and females— all that come within her path. And gladly they bow down to such a gracious majesty. All great people have their peculiarities; this Senior ' s peculiarity is that she is possessed of more than ordi- nary intelligence. She is eminently fitted to the office of President of the Senior Class, always taking plenty of time between moments of presiding to obtain tens ' in every branch of her studies. Era has proved a dear friend to many a girl at M. W. C, and has served as a splendid example to more than one adoring Freshman.

Senior Class CORINNE McGee .... Collins. Miss. Applicant for E. A. Haste is of the evil one. To casual observers, Corinne seems quiet and silent but so does the Sphinx, and yet its silent face speaks volumes. Corinne doesn ' t need to speak — her friends will chorus for her — and her actions illumine the charitable path she walks. But when she does speak, we do well to listen, for her ideas are worth while, and her manner positive. She is as honest and re- liable as the day is long, one of the best friends any- one could have, because she is as solid as Gibraltar. The student body must have had this in mind when she was elected President of the Y. W. A. Corinne has been one of us for five years, and when she takes her departure this year, we venture to say thai her place is going to be hard to fill. A high sense of honor and fairness plus her ambition as- that her spliere of usefulness will be nobly fulfilled. s Historian ' 17; Class Prophet ' 1 isurer of Y. W .A. ' 18; I. P.

The man that marries Rube certainly will have to gel a hump on him to keep up with our steady, reliable, mdependent college secretary. Because we ' re told that it goes hard with the stronger sex to be outshined in the business world by a mere (?) woman. She is a born business woman, and with her long experience here as College Secretary we predict unbounded success for her in the business world. But she has a rare mixture of other qualities. If you want a thing done, gel Rube on to it. No matter what is going on, students and teachers can be seen rushing madly through the halls at all times crying frantically, Ruby O ' Mara! please run this errand for me, or please come and unlock my door for me, or oh. please help me find this telephone number, or please help me find the door, or oh please tell me what to do! She is always calm and cool, thinks slowly and cautiously, but once there, is firmly seated on the throne of determination. She has be- come a part of this college and a part that will be hard to replace. If you don ' t believe it, ask a Freshman, a Sophomore, a Junior, a Senior, a teacher, Mr. Johnson, anyone!
