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

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

Bkancis Viuginia Phippins owenton, va. Braucis ' s size vouches for the truth of the saying — precious packages are put up in small parcels, for her services can hardly be dispensed with at the Normal. Although she devotes much time to her studies, yet she renders valuable aid to her literary society and the Y. W. C. A. Frequently she is seen with her arms full of magazines or ilowers, going to visit the patients at the hospital, or others, wlio are equally glad to welcome her. Ada Pearl Powell hampton, va. , « The Junior Class last year was surprised to find that one so tiny should be added to its number. They soon found themselves proud to claim her, as by persistent effort she set out for the goal. She was never known to quarrel, although she is very fond of argu- ing, and if you do not think as she does, you are a pill. It is said that at the Training School the children turn pale when Miss Powell demands order. Mary Minor Eichaedson Ti?Oj A. Mary Ann is one of our num- ber, who entered the class in its in- fancy. She has been with us four years, and by perseverance and hard work has completed a five-year course. AVho was surprised that the last year Juniors were the cham- pions in basket-ball? Mai-y Eich- ardson has been promoted from the Sophomores to the Junior team !
