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.

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.

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.

■ « :1 JULIA LOUISE LEWIS t MoRATTico, Virginia A good student, a sound thinker and a true friend to The Battlefield. Of late, Louise entertains the members of her Class thus: Yes — long white kid gloves, and a long train, and blue satin slippers, and a boudoir, no, ' Normandy ' cap. Yes, I am going to be a bridesmaid! This seems strange language, coming from one who is universally recognized as a suf- fragette {because she is never moved, except by the Wright ). Vice-President Dramatic Club; Happy Dozen Club; Mother Goose Club; Battleground Camp Fire; Glee Club; Tennis Club; Down-the- River Club; Vice-President Russell Literary Society; Busine.ss Manager The Battlefield. MARY GRAHAM MASTIN Fredericksburg, Virginia The time has come, as the Walrus said, to record the well-known fact that Graham knows something about every- thing that has ever been brought up in Class yet. She has about as much use for an encyclopedia as Dr. Johnson had for a dictionary, yet she was the only victim of the ever-pursuing agent. We never supposed that Graham would be susceptible to the wiles of man, for she was to have been a doctor to the heathen Chinee. Lately, though, her thoughts have turned to poetry and she has been found teaching the Battlefield Staff a little song beginning, The Dummy is Done — Tra-la! Editor-in-Chief of The Battlefield, 1914; Town Club; Wood- row Wilson Literary Society; Missionary Committee Y. W. C. A. ETHEL HESTER NASH Fredericksburg, Virginia Ethel, quite unintentionally on her part, has most people fooled. They think she is a perfect little angel, quiet as a mouse; but we know better. It almost takes a microscope to see her, but it ' s worth the effort, and moreover the words of wisdom which sometimes drop from her mouth in answer to Mr. Tyner ' s questions, are worth hearing. She has one controlling ambition — to look big; so you may see her walling her eyes and standing on tip- toes most any day at the Training School.
