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. Rifle Club; Baseball Club; Tennis Club; Down-the-River Club; Varsity Basketball Team.

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. Vice-President Hanover Club; Glee Club; Secretary Senior Class; Mystical Trio; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society; Secretary Associated News Com- mittee, Y. W. C. A.; Deuce Tennis Club; Society Editor The Battlefield.

Mr m ANNIE LOUISE SCOTT Cape Charles, Virginia To see Annie as she really is, one must picture her with a smile on her face and in her hand the daily letter from , Fredericksburg. There is a certain young man who uses the telephone so much in talking to her that serious thought has been taken of putting in a private line. (It may be necessary to have this line connect with the home of a certain member of the Town Club, also.) We fear that there is no chance of this one of our number ever falling into the good old profession of school teaching. Eastern Shore Club. KATHLEEN HOLT SCOTT 4 DuNNsviLLE, Virginia ' Tis said that every individual has a spark of the Divine in him; also, that Divinity is Love. Judged by these standards, Kathleen is almost all divine. She considers the most important events of her life: coming to the Normal School, knowing Miss White, and then meeting Junia. (Notice arrangement for climax.) What wiU the Dramatic Club do without its clown? She is nimble! She is quick! She jumps around like a jointed stick! Vice-President Glee Club, 1913-14; Treasurer Glee Club, 1912-13: Russell Literary Society; Dramatic Club; Cotillion Club; Krokay Klub; Mother Goose Club; Down-the-River Club; Happy Dozen Club; Battleground Camp Fire. 23 SARA TEMPLE SEGAR S.ALUDA, Virginia Stemple is a modest little girl from Middlesex. The keynote of her scholastic success lies in the fact that she gets so vexed when her fountain pen won ' t work, for she does not believe anyone knows how to study without notes. The Class now hopes that she will make known to the world her new patent — snow leggins. Also, we expect her to give to the world manuscript stories in her own hand- writing, which even the blind may read.
