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

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

Elsie Warnee McKann churchview, va. I, content, trimmed my own lamp, and hept it bright. SiBce thought is the property of him who can entertain it, there is no doubt as to tlie amount of atten- tion it receives from this lady. She possesses determination and fortifies her point imtil it is im- pregnable. Elsie is a worker of merit, a pop- ular schoolmate, congenial friend, and one of recognized talents. Such as she can accomplish only the best in life, and her career here points already to the goal. Eachel Scharborough Messice lEVINGTON, VA. In Rachel we find superior under- standing and capability. She is characterized by common sense strengthened by intelligence. She loves to read the Mexican War N ews( ?), especially in the form she gets it from the Border. For want of more school work, Eachel spends her Friday nights bringing up the cradle roll of Fredericksburg. Rachel enjoys a frolic as much as any one and you ' ll never find her anything but merry. She is con- stantly brimming over with humor and has a remark apropos for every occasion. Lillie Lee Michie IVY depot, VA. ' ' A glorious devil, large in heart and brain. Besides being our class beauty, Michie rivals McConnick in her rendition of The Little Grey Home in the West. She made her initial bow to formal society at the musical given by the N ' ightingales. She has a bright disposition, a ready smile, and never loses any sleep over her classes, although she manages to leave the impression on Iier teachers that she is right there with the goods. 25
