Mm§. Li -e ■■ ■ 0) LUCY LIPSCOMB DUVAL, Rhoadesville, Virginia. HO would ever suspect that this benevolent looking- individual has in her make up that quality enabling her to strike terror to the hearts of those culprits, who are ushered into her presence to receive punishment for their wrong doing? Her musical talent has been so highly developed that she has become Director of the Nightingales. Nor is this her only accomplishment, for she has the power to bring the whole student body to the Auditorium immediateh- after su])per, whenever a new rule is to be made. To err is human, in most cases, but an act of indiscretion on her part is unknown, for she is possessed of many excellent qualities. President of Student Ciovernment Association ; Woodrow Wilson Lit- erary Society ; Assistant Editor The Tattler ; Di- rector Nightingales; Y. ' . C. .A.. Caljinet ; Tennis Club. RUTH IVANHOE FORD, Newport News, Virginia. g LTHOIT.H Ruth did not join us until her Senior year, she has followed the path of a most successful career and has established herself as firmly in our admiration and love by her intellect, good nature and personality as if her years with us had been many. She is on the whole rather a quiet person, but at times has been known to mani- fest sparks of mischief which refuse to be subdued until they have luirst into fiame. We feel fully assured of her future success. Vice-President Rus- sell I iterai y Society ; The Sphinx ; Track Team of Senior Class ; Glee Club ; Nameless Nvmphs ; Y. W. C. A.

i @ @@ ULA HURST CLUVERIUS, Little Plymouth, Virginia. VIRGINIA DANTE DOWDY, Cumberland, Virginia. SIB HE September breezes of 1912 waited Ula within our portals, and truly, breezes never bore a more incomprehensible mixture of gravity and mirth. She has won her way to the heart of the school bv a cleverness unparalleled in every undertaking, but, strange to say of a Nor- malite, she never took unto herself studying. To look at her one would hardly credit the statement that she has a decided inclination towards Biblical characters; but nevertheless it is true that reference to the names Daniel and Peter, never fails to awaken her animation. Nor are these all of her prominent characteristics, for beneath them lies a depth of love, which lies and lies (?) Russell Lit- erary Society, Executive Committee, second term ; Glee Club ; Dramatic Club ; Rifle Club ; Tennis Club. o VXTE is one of the sturdiest of our number. All through her Junior year she manifested her steadfastness, but, during the Senior year, she has proven it. We think the name Dante has tended to evoke fame, for her thirst for success in the Training School did not go unrewarded. She does not often have much to say, yet at times she insists upon having her say, and always her say is symbolic of her character — steadfast, good-natured, sincere. W ' n wish her great success as a teacher, this being the height of her ambition; may she attain the desired fame.

!%,«» ' fc S JESSE MURRAY HAMMERLEY, Leesburg, Virginia. (D ITH modesty and persistence she pushes on to the goal of her ambition, that of being a teacher of the young of our Commonwealth, and with such determination as Jesse possesses we feel sure that she will succeed. She is one of the most studious members of the Senior Class, and it is really shocking to hear her answer some of Mr. Tyner ' s broad questions in Philosophy. We think it is a pity that Jesse lives in Loudoun County, since she likes Caroline so well. President of Russell Literary Society, second term ; Class Basket Ball Team; Senior Track Team; Tennis Club; Y. W. C. A. NANCY CARR HARRISON, La Cross, Virginia. © ETTER be small and shine than great and cast a shadow, is verv appropriate for this little auburn-haired maid. Nancy Carr is a genius, and some day the world will sit up and take notice of her Posters. She has been ever faithful in her work, and we feel quite sure that she will succeed in all of her duties of life, whether thev be great or small.
