fflMHffi Abbie Ballard BEEEA, VA. Never idle a moment, bid thrifty and thoughtful of others. Al)bie is undoubtedly the most studious member of the Senior Class. She is never known to forget an as- signment, and therefore it is a very common thing to hear some one say, Oh, run down to Abbie ' s and get the assignment. She hasn ' t for- gotten it. Although she is studious she is never too busy to help some one else. Abbie, you are all right, the Seniors could never do without you. Anna Calphdrxia Bailey richmond, va. Callie, during her sojourn of five years at F. S. N. S., has become very dear to her friends. She is one of those people who never has the blues, and is always ready to cheer those who have ; for who can see Callie perform her Charlie Chaplin antics and not be com-, forted? Whenever we have heard immense cheering on the tennis court for the last five years we have found tliat Callie was winning laurels in the tennis tonrnnment. Daisy Emma Bakgamin portsmouth, va. In Emma is portrayed a most de- sired characteristic, that of modesty. Added to that she is possessed of a very unique art, she blushes most beautifully on the slightest provoca- tion. And here is a very interesting item which we feel should certainly go down in print. It is said by the head of the Departrnent of Eural Arts that there is not a lazy bone in Daisy Emma.

Class Song Tune: Carry Me Bad- to Old Vir[iin7iy We liold thee dear, our Alma Mater; Here ' s where we ' ve learned a life of ideals high to live, Here ' s where we ' ve grown into womanly virtvies, Here ' s where we ' ve vowed every life to service give, Here ' s where we ' ve started a life all unselfish, Filled with true love for the folk that are cast down ; Xo place on earth do we love more sincerely Than Alma Mater, of the old historic town. C ' hokus : We hold thee dear, our Alma Mater ; Here ' s where we ' ve learned a life of ideals high to live. Here ' s where we ' ve grown into womanly virtues, Here ' s where we ' ve vowed every life to service give. Give us, we beg, your earnest Godspeed ; ' Tis now we hear the call to battle ' gainst the wrong, And with glad hearts do we haste to our places ; When o ' er, we ' ll tell of our victory in song — Then shall we bring thee, our dear Alma Mater, Glory and pride in thy children, just renown. No place on earth shall we love more sincerely Than Alma Mater, of the old liistoric town. Ethel Johnson Smith.

Effie Guaham Beery cape chaeles, va. It is said among the Eastern Shore bunch that Effie really re- sembles a ray of sunshine, for no matter how discouraged they are she somehow manages with her smile to disperse the gloom. Should she tire of teaching, we think she may take up dentistry, for she has shown marked ability along that line with the tots at the Training School. It is rumored that lier knowledge of Household Arts may be used in individual demonstration work, rather than in teaching. Mamie Lee Biscoe feedeeicksburg, va. AVhen Mr. Cliandler thundered forth in tones sonorous and eloquent and Mr. Tyner with fenent voice plead that the rural communities were the places where one ' s work would really count, little did they think that this maiden was listen- ing with such open ears and atten- tive heart. Though the lights of the city may glimmer alluringly she will have none of it, for she sees no path of duty but that leading to the country school, where she will one day teach the farmers lassies to cook. LutlLE HOOE BOGGS WASHINGTON, D. C. I am Lucile Boggs of the little feet and winsome manner. ' Beloved of my schoolmates am I and favorite to their augustness the Class of 1917. How our little Sprout would blush if she knew we were taking this applicable quotation from the part in Abbu San which she dis- played such dramatic ability in pre- senting. Possessed of a loving dis- position, charming manner, and great al)ility, she is a living testi- mony to her maxim that size is no barrier to success.
