Mildred Louise Brown phoebus, va. Perhaps Mildred ' s sunny and at- tractive disposition is a result of environment, since she comes from that lovely part of Tidewater — Hampton, Virginia. Her one fail- ing is a decided weakness for moving pictures, but shall we not be willing to forgive that since she is ever true to duty and ready to do her share? Her work here, and at the Training School alike, attest that we need have no fear for her success as a teacher (but hew long will that be ?) . Bessie Belle Beoache EDNA, VA. By her good nature and ready wit Belle has made many friends. Al- though there are many, yet it seems as if most of her affections have been centered in one. She is a lover of nature and above all the flowers of her garden she loves crepe Myrtle the best. Her profession has been well chosen, as is shown by her willing- ness to render service to others. Continue to wear that magic smile, Belle, and we shall have no fear for your future. Edxa Earle Carter LENT, VA. Who is that sunny-haired damsel with little ripples of merriment dancing over her face, that comes hurrying alone with a Shoot ! I ' m late again ? ' ' Oh, yes ! it is Edna, tall, straight, and athletic. Xothing can freeze the genial sunshine of her nature unless it be Xature Study and all if includes. She is always busy about something, regardless of a slight case of heart trouble.

Sadie Maude Bowles glen allen, va. Sadie is one of the few among our number who is fond of Train- ing School ; and she prefers it at all times to Educational Lectures. She is tall and thoughtful, and be- lieves that the greatest blessing be- stowed upon man is sleep. Although she spends much time wandering in Elysium, she never neglects her work. Sadie ' s greatest desire, other than that of becoming a successful teacher, is that befope leaving school she may gain a little in avoirdupois. Maria Elizabeth Breavington : irvington, va. Cheerful at morn, she wal-es from short repose, Breasts the keen air and carols as she goes. When IMaria comes around all things pertaining to gloom must be put aside, for Maria and gloom can not live in the same atmosphere. Her wit and good nature have won for her many friends, and we are inclined to think that with these she will continue to win them. Mabel Pauline Browne edinburg, va. Girls, I am going to flunk, was the greeting Jerry had for us on our arrival at the Normal in Sep- tember. Perhaps it was the fear of this dreaded sentence that kept her constantly at her tasks throughout the year, always putting work be- fore play. But it was only her imagination, as she has since proved. Determination is only one of her striking- characteristics. Well may it be said of Jerry, Labor well directed will achieve all things. L 16

Elizabeth Chauncey Carter fredericksburg, va. Elizabeth entered in the ranks of the Freslimen and has steadily climbed higher until now she has attained the heights. She is always faithful in her work and to her fellow-classmates. Although, at time, discourage- ment seizes her, Elizabeth always comes through well over that dreaded seventy-five, and passes on to the next problem serene and happy. Now, as she goes out from the pro- tection of her Alma Mater, there goes with her the hearty best wishes of the Senior Class. Huldah Ada Clark rhoadesville, va. Behold ! the cradle we have robbed ! We can but think this when we look upon Huldah. And when she speaks we are confirmed. She is a modest and conscientious little maid, ever faithful to her duty. When monitor on the hall we are assured that she is guided by the old proverb, Children should be seen and not heard. If she is as successful in everything as she is in executing the duties of monitor, for her future we do not fear. Mart Ball Connellee senora, va. Smooth runs the water where the Ijrook is deep. Surely this quotation applies to Mary. She never has much to say, but we know by her excellent grades that she is a deep thinker. No doubt when she sits down to study she says to herself, Come, pensive muse, devout and pure; sober, steadfast, and demure. ' To know her slightly one would hardly appreciate the fact that she is one of the wittiest of our members. She can utilize any class hour by skillful questions and discussion.
