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.

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.

MARY SELDEN SNEAD t Tappahannock, Virginia In her young days, Mary ' s river friends knew her as Mother ' s angel child. When she arrived at the necessary point of proficiency, with many tears and sighs her wordly goods were packed, and she sailed away to Fredericksburg in time to answer to the roll-call on the opening day of the Normal School. We never have unde rstood why gentle, quiet, little Mary masquerades under the title of Crosspatch in the Mother Goose Club, because if this were true, she would not have the host of friends which she has, nor would she have been elected the President of her Class for 1911-12. Glee Club; Mother Goose Club; Down-the- River Club; Russell Literary Society; Battleground Camp Fire. CLARA LOUISE von HOFSTEN Richmond, Virginia A girl of many lands and many talents, who tried Wisconsin, Sweden and Illinois before she found the right place. Behind her laugh is a sturdiness of character which makes her friendship something to be prized. She is said to have once had a poetical inspiration as she was walking down Broad Street carrying her suit-case. From all we can learn however, it does not seem to have resulted in anything greater than the scattering of her wearing apparel all over the side-walk when she calmly bumped into a telephone pole. Vice- President Richmond Club, 1912-13; President Richmond Club, 1913-14; Glee Club; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society; Chairman Bible Study Committee Y. W. C. A. ; Editor of Clubs, Battlefield Staff. SUSAN DABNEY WALKER Lynchburg, Virginia Since coming to the Normal, Sue has strained her neck looking up telephone poles, and has developed a peculiar fond- ness for yellow writing paper and purple ink — which facts doubtless account for her large library on household arts. Her ability has been shown in the efficient service rendered in the many offices held during both years of her sojourn with us. Sue claims especial distinction by virtue of her constant cheerfulness and optimism. President Senior Class; Vice-President Junior Class; Secretary Y. W. C.
