Martha Frances Hekndon RICHMOND, VA. Martha made many friends in her Junior year, and when she re- turned, after being absent for two years, there were some of the old friends and many new glad to wel- come her. Demure and mischievous, Martha combines the endearing qualities of the real pal ' ' with the abilit y and diligence, of the student. Her two years spent at the jSTonnal will leave a bright page in her his- tory, for her record is one to be proud of. Glad are we to have her in the Class of 1917. Ilcs Morton Hutcheson ashland, va. Ilus, patient, eairnest, deliberate, dignified, always abides by her motto, Proci-astination is the thief of time, and never waits until the last minute to do everything, as her more reckless classmates. When we wish to have a piece of work well performed Ilus is called upon to do it, for not only is she right there with the goods, but we know the quality of that textile. Ilus allows no more wrinkles in her disposition than she allows in the sheets on her bed. Annie MacGregoe James irvington, va. Watch little Annie put the ball in the goal. She ' s mighty apt to put it there. Although Annie is our tiniest member, she is also our star goal thrower. Everybody loves Annie, she has such a sunny dis- position and a cheery word for every one. Her smiles are broadest when G. A. V. is expected to arrive. Be- sides a bright disposition she has a bright mind capable of making an excellent primary teacher, but she is much interested in household arts. Who can tell the future? 23

Nannie Davis Goodman BEAVER dam, VA. Each night at ten-forty-five we see a very dignified young lady wearing specs locking the dining hall, in order to keep the robbers out. Espe- cially is she desirous of catching those thieves who occasionally relieve said hall of molasses jugs. Four years she has labored zealously to achieve the high position of teaching her hobby — geometry — which at last she has attained. She also shows quite an amount of power in housekeeping, although she is unable to mix the poor man ' s pudding. Elizabeth Claiborne W. Haile MINOR, VA. Liza came to the old dormitory when a Sophomore, but she moved to town this year. Evidently things were too quiet here for her, as we have since discovered that she has learned to dance and just loves it. She is a great reader. Give her a good novel and she is perfectly content. Not only does she like to read from the pens of others, but we hear that she herself is very fond of writing and has high aspirations in literature. Mary Rebecca Harwood saluda, va. Five years ago there came to us Sweet Miss Mary. Her loveli- ness of character, friendly disposi- tion, and stateliness soon made each one stop, look, and listen ; and we ' ve l)een looking and listening for all these years, and we haven ' t heard half she knows, nor all the big words. From the numl er and importance of the offices which she has held, in- cluding the President of Student Government and Editor-in-Chief of the Annual, it is evident that she can handle things, even the Fourth Grade at the Training School. 22

Margaret Travers James BELLE haven, VA. Jimmie launched on her career at the Normal four years ago, and since then has steadily worked to secure Wise(dom). She is the em- bodiment of neatness, for never has she been seen with one hair out of place. She is fond of music, espe- cially the violin, and we believe that some day she will r ival Maud Powell. Jimmie was one of our number who was caught in the meshes of the fortune-teller, but she has never told what she learned from the interview. Mary Tyrold Kidd newton, va. A live, graceful form, a quick step, and a merry laugli, and who could it be but that Kidd Mary? Her cheerful disposition and unselfish nature have won for her a host of friends, who feel deeply interested in her future. Mary enters every- thing with enthusiasm, and seldom fails to accomplish that which she undertakes. Of her vocal talent little need be said, for since her- Junior year her voice has been a great addition to the Glee Club and Y. W. C. A. choir. Ruth Gertrude King suffolk, va. You are looking into the face of her whose heart is too large for her own benefit, whose profound belief is that there is safety in numbers as pertains to dresses, hats, coats, and friends, for out of a number of friends aren ' t they each likely to have something to one ' s liking? When the slanderous tongues of the unappreciative have ceased, and the patrons of happiness shall rise to their realms of justice, we shall see Euth, hand in hand with Gener- osity, leading them all. 24
