This quiet gentleman was given to us by Mars Hill College last August, and he has distinguished himself by the even moderation of tones, by his reticence, and by his steady, quiet work. He is popular, and always does his part nobly. He adores nothing feminine, and believes that every one should look after his own affairs. He is thorough in his studies and swift on the athletic field. WILMA ELLEN GADDY Wingate, N. C. That you may be loved, be amiable. Secretary Browning Society, 15-16. Class Statistician of 1916.

The sincer- ity, frankness and friendliness of his nature have won for him many friends who will miss him when he is gone. When mischief is in the game, Hoyt always plays a winning hand. After packing his diploma in the lower southwest corner of his trunk, he will depart for his home in Taxahaw, and we wish him well. His manly quali- ties and pleasing personality have won for him many close friends, who hope that he may have a future crowned with success. BESSIE BERNICE McINTYRE Wingate, N. C. AlTection is the Broadest Basis of a Good Life. Historian of Class 1916. Bess is the Baby of our class, but her queenly bearing and lofty manner would not lead one to that conclusion. Bess is a splendid leader, full of strong ideas and opinions, to which she holds with tenacity. She has taken an active part in society, and is interested in everything that concerns the welfare of the school, she knows no such word as failure. Much talk- ing is her specialty, and this wins for her admiration and friends. lT 12

.1 JOHN McMANUS Taxahaw, S. C. An able man shows his spirits by gentle words and resolute actions. McManus, who comes to us as a sandlapper, is a true and generous friend to every one. He has been with us two years, and has proved himself to be a hard and willing worker. He knows how to make friends and how to keep them. He possesses those rare qualities which make him a desirable companion, and whoever is fortunate enough to be his associate will find him always cheerful and full of fun. John leaves us with a host of friends who wish him success. NELL MAY HEFNER Wingate, N. C. , How sweet the sound of a woman's tongue, a string which has no dis- cord. Nell is the only Senior who has taken voice, and consequently she is of value to the class. Nell is a very popular, and brave girl, especially when she is called before the Faculty to give an account of her good times. We must say for Nell, because of her stylish appearance, winning ways, and melodious voice she has won for herself an important place in the hearts of all her friends. 14
