NANNIE CUNNINGHAM OLIVER Irvington, Virginia Nannie was a very decent sort of a girl until she met Sue. By her cheerful, happy disposition, and unfailing ability to see a joke on herself, she has gained the sobriquet of Sunny Nannie. She believes firmly that Cleanliness is next to godliness, so does her utmost to acquire a Clean look.

NANNIE WALLER PARKER Essex County, Virginia The average person has little love for earthly angels, so perhaps that is why Nancy is so popular. Her ready wit and jovial disposition have made her a friend in need to sufferers from that dread malady, homesickness. She is the sharp-shooter of the Class (being in the habit of shooting hickory nuts off a tree at midnight — the darker the night, the more accurate her aim!) Battleground Camp Fire; Mother Goose Club; Director Nightingale Club; Russell Literary So- ciety ; Vice-President Down-the-River Club ; Dramatic Club; Better-to-Sew, My Dear, Club; Rifle Club; Art Editor The Battlefield. LELIA MAE PERRIN Ashland, Virginia This song-bird is reputed to be one of the most studious girls in her Class, but oftentimes at night great crowds of students throng the halls near room 305. Without inquiring the cause everybody knows that Mae is practicing her Loo- loo ' s, and even this, from Mae, is music to those who listen. Most of her spare time is spent in the auditorium, and, by the way, Mae you know is also an expert in the talking line.

A.; Deuce Tennis Club; Society Editor The Battlefield.

■ « :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.

HELEN CABELL PHILLIPS Fredericksburg, Virginia For producing a laugh, there never was another like this maid-in-brown. She amuses the whole Class, including Mr. Tyner, and makes even History of Education endurable. We are all agreed that such a person deserves a place in Who ' s Who. In the two minutes inter- mission between Classes, she often serves little pink pills. She can be identified by a little gray hat which she always wears to keep in the height of style. Dramatic Club; Battleground Camp Fire; The Hikers; Rifle C hib. RUTH ANITA POST Cape Charles, Virginia This tall, lanky piece of humanity came to us from the Eastern Shore, and has never tired in speaking of its glories. Ruth is rather subject to sprained ankles, and has never been known to go with anyone whose head could reach her shoulder. At times her cheeks are as red as the wrapper on a tomato can. We are very uneasy lest some day, in spite of all Mr. Tyner can say, the power of influence may prove too strong and she will follow Iva ' s illustrious example. Eastern Shore Club; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society: Dramatic Club; Rifle Club. LUCY GRAY RICHARDSON King and Queen County, ViR(iiNiA Lucy Gray, hailing from the unknown place, Ino, was thrust into our midst when the school wa ' in its infancy. Though she was once lost at the station in Richmond, she has never been known to be lost on the athletic field. Lucy Gray has one weakness — a peculiar fondness for Har- rison Fisher pictures, expecially those on two subjects — consult the covers on the Ladies ' Home Journal. We suspect that someone is the cause of this weakness, for we ' ve heard, on good authority, that the express company sometimes is forced to use three horses in delivering her numerous packages.
