JANE LITTLE GARTH Louisa, Vikginia Realizing that knowledge is power, Jane has turned serious attention to gaining knowledge during her two years in school, and we expect to find her a Superintendent some day. If she would only do something rash — just once! and only once forget what she looks like ! Jane wears a smile that won ' t come off, and, true or not, it is said she sleeps only in the wee small hours. She makes friends readily and is especially fond of groups of three. President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society; Glee Club; Mystical Trio; Tennis Club; Secretary-Treasurer Louisa Club. JEAN FISHER GRAVES Bedford City, Virginia We have heard rumors (we cannot say how true they are) that Jean has dropped all her correspondence except that be- ginning, Dear Sister Graves. This gives us the impression that some day doubtless Jean will be teaching the little lieathen Chinee, who will enjoy the fruits of her devotion and goodness. It is the hope of the Senior Class, however, that Jean may never be able to face her audience without that familiar little gig- gling tee-hee-hee so enjoyed by her class-mates. Assistant Editor The Battlefield; President Glee Club: Chairman Religious Meetings Committee, Y. W. C. A.; Dramatic Club; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society; Deuce Tennis Club; Delegate Student Volunteer Con- vention, Kansas City; Shawondassa Camp Fire. l8 JUNIA GRAVES Bedford City, Virginia Junia is the well-known horsewoman of her Class. In her Junior year she achieved distinction by riding the un- manageable stick horse in the moving picture show, Lochinvar. Her special antipathy is taking medicine. She has never been known to take it, except when administered by Jean. She is a poet, too; many of her most brilliant odes have for the subject, Miss Mary K. She some- times u ses the expression Great Scott! Also, she has added honor to her Class by writing for two years the prize story of The Battlefield. President Junior Class; President Y. W. C. A., 1913-14-; Secretary Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, 1914; Glee Club; Delegate to Y. W. C. A. Conference, Blue Ridge, N. C, 1913; Shawondassa Camp Fire.

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! Russell Literary Society; Glee Club; Varsity Basketball Team, I 9 i 3 - 1 4 ; Baseball Team ; Secre- tary and Treasurer Eastern Shore Club, I9I3- ' I4. 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! Glee Club; Cotillion Club; Richmond Club; Russell Literary Society.

FLORA McFADEN HILL Atlee. Virginia Flora came from the same county that produced Henry Clay (perhaps that accounts for her precociousness). She is the youngest member of her Class; has beautiful glowing hair, a soft voice and a lovable disposition. It has been suggested that the school put in a private telephone line for the use of Flora and her friends One thing more ; she has never been known to complain of the walk to the Training School — mystery of mysteries! Hanover Club: Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. ELLA GARNETT HOSKINS P DuNNsviLLE, Virginia Long, long ago she was known as Miss Hinman ' s Angel. This she soon out- grew. But while she is no longer angelic, she is an all-round athlete who asks no odds of any opponent, and has gained a reputation of which her Class is justly proud. By the way, she has the claim of a still greater distinction, for she is the only known basketball player who has grape fruit served to her by admiring friends after a game. Dramatic Club; Cotillion Club; Mother Goose Club; Down-the-River Club: Tennis Club; Rus- sell Literary Society; Battleground Camp Fire; Varsity Basketball Team. EMMA WOODSON LANKFORD Franktown, Virginia Emma is tall and thoughtful and be- lieves that the greatest benefit bestowed upon mankind is sleep. You may find her making use of it any odd hour. Her face is fair and her dress is dainty and becoming — in fact, she is always good to look at. Our knowledge of her is, however, rather superficial; for real information apply to Mrs. A. B. Chandler, Jr. Secre- tary Russell Literary Society; President Happy Dozen Club; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet; President Eastern Shore Club, 1913-14; Glee Club.
