o MARIAN VIRGINIA COGBILL Chester, Virginia Grammar Grades Always ready and willing to try, Never letting her work go by. H, what a pal was Virginia ! She is a deep thinker and has lofty ideals. She has an abun- dance of knowledge at her command. If anyone wants to know anything about Hygiene or Anatomy, just call on Virginia and she can tell you. She taught Geography so well at the Train- ing School that we think, in future years, we shall see her name written in the Hall of Fame, as an expert Geog- raphy teacher.

u RUBYE E. COATES Oak Grove, Virginia Cotie Household Arts And still they stared, and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carr}- all she knew. OU would wonder, maybe, if you could see the A-|- ' s Rubye carried away in sewing-, or if you could eat a meal prepared by her ; but the cooking and sewing are not all. Ask those who supervised her teaching whether or not she made good. Ask her schoolmates wdiether or not she has the ability to make friends. Our gTeatest fear is that she will some day forget her civilized manners and be- come skilful in using Chinese chop- sticks . Maury Literary Society, 1919-21; Athletic Association, 1919-21; Y. W. C.

I IIVE Madeline a horse and she be- J comes as happy as a queen in Fairyland. She does ride so well ! She came to us in 1917 — each yeal growing- in popularity and leadership. Sympathetic, unselfish, unassuming, loyal, lovable and enthusiastic — no ■wonder she was chosen the most pop- ular as well as the most beautiful girl of our class.

ATTIE EFFINGHAM COURTNEY Ino, Virginia Effie Gram mar Grades Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait. lalTTIE EFFINGHAM COURT- l y NEY is known as Effie by her friends, when they ' re friendly, or as Ham when they ' re peeved. Effie entered the school in 1918 but became so enthusiastic over the idea of teaching that she failed to return until she discovered that there was really more to learn. She is, above all, diligent. Although her favorite bird is the woodpecker, she hopes by emulat- ing the owl in the matter of hours, to become as famed for wisdom as that bird. Nightly schedule: Sleep, 11-12; lesson plans or Hygiene the remainder of the night. We have reason to be- lieve that certain of those lesson plans never reached any critic teacher, but slipped into the out-going mail. Y. W. C. A., 1920-21; Washington Literary Society, 1920-21; Ath- letic Association, 1920-21; Dra- matic Club, 1920-21. 9 MARGARET JESSE DANIEL Dunnsville, Virginia Primary Grades She who loves not wine, man and song, remains a fool through her whole life time. ES, we can ' t help but know this is Margaret ' s motto for she is of the gayest disposition imaginable. She is the best companion one could wish for and just enough of a flirt to make her one of the cutest little dames at S. N. S. No wonder she breaks the hearts of so many boys ! for she is composed of fun and laughter and goocl times. Now don ' t misunderstand me — for Marg-aret ' s other traits I have not told. She made an exceptional teacher at the Training School and pos- sesses the traits of a real woman as well. She is the happy, pla -ful child at playtime, but the serious efficient woman when the play time is over. Washington Literary Society, 1918- 21; Glee Club, 1918-21; Athletic Association, 1918-21; Y.
