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.

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.

Hermine Virginia Coghill bowling green, va. A modest, quaint, and dainty maiden is our Hermine. When she announced her intention of becom- ing a high-school teacher no one thought that this Old-Fashioned Girl would ever inculcate into her teaching the modern and up-to-date methods of pedagogy. Whenever we see Hermine we naturally think, Ethel is somewhere around. ' ' Hermine ' s one great desire is that she may be able to explain prol)lems in Second- Year Algelira so that ] Ir. Hamlet will find no need to make further explanation. KoBERTA Williams Cralle EXIMERTON, VA. Bert is a meri-y, lively, athletic girl, and when she is around some- thing is surely going to happen, for she can ' t be idle long. Her determination to win not only distinguishes her in athletics, l)ut in every-day life. With some clever piece of wit she relieves every situation, and is re- sponsible for a great deal of fun that has enlivened our school days. Although a lover of music her at- tention is not always directed toward the composition, but the performer instead. Margaret Virginia Dix irvington, va. As you turn to this page, kind reader, you behold one of the most sedate, retiring, and attractive mem- bers of the Senior Class of 191T. Margaret is one of the Seniors who has succeeded in learning a great deal and having a good time while doing it. On account of her shyness s ie is known only to her intimate friends, but their opinion of her is enough to convince one of her attractiveness. Her scholarly record has won for her the esteem of her classmates. 19
