Eugenia Constance Millnek norfolk, va. Gene ' s bashfulness is no less conspicuous than her superior in- tellect, which is manifested in all she does. Xo task is too arduous for her niastei-y from an examination of the elements to strolls with the faculty. She is worthy of high reverence mixed with love which she receives from her schoolmates, for in whom can you find a more lovable, sympa- thetic di.sposition, expressed through a genial smile, which you know is not the hypocrite ' s mask ? Anne E. Stbibling Moncuee stafford, va. Listen ! That ' s she. I could tell Anne E. ' s laugh anywhere I heard it. She can carry a laugh and a pleasant smile with her from the time the alarm-clock sings its song in the morning until long after the lights have winked at night. Long hours of study never daunt her happy spirit of friendliness and cheerfulness. She has a wide circle of friends both in school and out. Edna Watkins Morton fredericksburg, va. Because of the fact that she is a Hiker, Edna is not so well known among the girls as they would like her to be. These are some of her good qualities that impress us even at a distance : We know that she possesses determination, because of the fact that she has been coming three miles for three years to the Normal, sometimes riding, but often prefering hiking it. Then her ability as a teacher has been spread abroad both by her pupils and teachers. 26

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

Mayble Ada jSTash glen allen, va. When we think of Ada ' s class honors and offices, we find that there is raucla behind her reputation for efficiency in all phases of a iSTormal life. To be secretary and treasurer of no less than four important organi- zations shows capability. To be elected class historian and wit editor of The Battlefield would indicate literary ability and brains. Her record in tennis and basket-liall shows her athletic ability while be- ing a member of the Glee and Dra- matic clubs, also indicates talent. EuTH Oliver NATHALIE, VA. Buth is a sincere friend who be- lieves in that old saying, Slow, but sure. When other Seniors are hurrying madly to get through breakfast you notice that Oliver is calmly waiting her turn to be helped. Does she ever hurry? ' you ask. Yes, when she hears that same bell ringing saying dinner. If you think a woman doesn ' t keep a secret just tell Ruth some- thing, and seal it with don ' t you tell, and vovi will never hear of it Lucy Payne parker, va. A loud Ha ! Ha ! is heard. Who can it be but Lucy, otherwise Baby, whose motto is Laugh and grow fat ! At any hour if you listen carefully you may hear loo, loos trilled deliciously down the scale and back — softly at first, and then forgetful of monitors, louder, louder. She can be serious and studious, for when five years ago, she entered F. S. X. S., no one dreamed that she would lie numbered among the graduates of 1917. She has justly attained this height. 4U 27
