■ ISLA CATHARINE BRIZENDINE Essex County, Virginia Her disposition suits well her wonderful, dark eyes — mysterious, unfathomable, yet withal, appealing. We can ' t find out anything about Isla, except that she revels in Nature Study, and, her heart ever going back to the farm, has as her main topic of conversation what she will do when she gets home to mother. She is a very hard worker and ' ' she always gets there. Rifle Club; Baseball, 1913-14; Down-the-River Club. RUTH ELMORE CLARKSON Sharps, Virginia Ruth was never known to be in the slightest hurry, not even practice teaching producing a perceptible change. She makes it a rule never to arrive in Class later than three minutes before dismissal. As a proof of her studiousness, however, she often sits up until two o ' clock, though on good authority, all that she writes is not lesson plans. From this it may be inferred that the noble profession will not hold her long. Russell Literary Society; Mother Goose Club, I9i3- ' i4; Down-the-River Club, igi3- ' i4; Glee Club; Rifle Club; Battleground Camp Fire. JESSIE GATEWOOD DAFFAN Fredericksburg, Virginia Uncle Willie ' s niece is an active member of the Town Club, and aspires to permanent residence in Fredericksburg. Though young, she has undergone more experiences than any teacher ever had to meet — some Mr. Tyner never heard of (if that be possible). Moreover, she has experienced or come in close contact with all the diseases to which man is heir. We expect great things of Jessie because of her enquiring mind, her stickability and her good looks. The Hikers. 16

MARY ELLA AGREE King and Queen County, Virginia Mary is quiet; but one day, shortly after her arrival, a great noise was heard on the hall, and heads were hurriedly thrust out of the doors just in time to see Mary being escorted to her room by Mrs. Chew. Mary has never gotten over this. There have been times when we feared her sunny disposition would be submerged altogether, but we have been considerably cheered of late by the sound of her hearty laughter. It is our hope that some day Mary will learn an assignment which she will not forget. Glee Club ; Tennis Club ; Baseball Club; Down-the-River Club. CARRIE MAXWELL AGREE King and Queen County, Virginia Maxie is so small and quiet that one would hardly know she was present except for an occasional cheery laugh and a spirit of contentment which she always carries with her. She believes firmly that to interfere with anybody would be a crime; hence, everybody is her friend. While teaching, Maxie paces with measured tread back and forth before her eager young pupil — which fact causes us to believe firmly in the transmigration of the soul. (In some former existence, Maxie was a caged lion.) Glee Club; Down-the-River Club. BEATRICE LOUISE ASHLEY Richmond, Virginia So fragile and fair is she that she re- minds one of a delicate piece of china. The climate of Bloomfield, New Jersey, where she spent her early life, must be conducive to the growth of artistic ability. If any of our art lovers are contemplating a trip to Italy to see the works of Michaelangelo, we advise them to look at Beatrice ' s drawings in the Annual, and save expense and trouble. Her sunny disposition and keen sense of humor make her a delightful companion. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society; Richmond Club; Happy Dozen Club, 1913-14; Mother Goose Club, 1913- 14; Poster Committee, Y. W. C. A.; Treasurer Class, 1913-14; Shawondassa Camp Fire. IS

MARY CHRISTINE DEIERHOI Richmond, Virginia Mary ' s individual differences are quite numerous; A good voice of wfiich she is quite proud, an opinion of fier own which she seldom fails to express, a mind that always works in a clear, logical way, and hair that glows like a sunset in June. A girl of ability and comeliness, born to command, we ' ve often wondered if there is as much to her as there is to her name. When Mary entered school we thought of having our charter changed, making the institution co-educational, for we then had a Dear boy. Secretary Richmond Club; Tennis Club; Cotillion Club; Mystical Trio; Glee Club Quartette; Russell Literary Society. ALICE LEAH FINNEY Franktown, Virginia Without a doubt the tallest, healthiest looking senior that ever entered the portals of this institution. Alice will make a splendid teacher and discipline will be a negligible quantity in her school, for one look at her size and strength will cause the terror of the neighborhood to tremble. Bud ' s favorite sport is going to see Cousin MoUie; her characteristic ex- pression is Good Laus!

MARTHA POLLARD FLEET Bruington, Virginia This one of our number originally came from down the river, but she hopes to be promoted to Richmond. We have known for a long time that Martha made a mistake in coming to the Normal School ; her emphatic manner and decided views show that she would have made a record in a law school. When suffrage comes to Virginia, the governor had better look to his job. Martha is also looked upon as something of a high-brow — then, too, she is such a charming talker!
