ms VIRGINIA HARDENIA DILLARD Fredericksburg, Virginia Ginia Primary Grades To know her is to love her. HO is this fun-loving- Senior who drives up to school every morning in her Buick car? No other than our much loved Virginia. Her winning ways, sweet disposition, and her love for Wright have won for her many true friends at F. S. N. S. She is a jolly good sport and is always ready for a lark, but on the other hand, she has made one of our Training School stars and has shown that she can shine in her classes, too. Our one wish is that she may bring as much happiness in the future as she has in the past. Athletic Association, 1917-18; Y. W. C. A., 1917-18; Kotillion Klub, 1918-21. ELIZABETH EVALINA DOWNING Lottsburg, Virginia Bess Grammar Grades , Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair. n ERE is ' Bess who, in her dusky beauty, is fair to look upon, and that isn ' t all, for her physical beau- ty, is enhanced by a sweet unassuming- disposition, and a modest, quiet way that has never failed to win her lasting friends. Bess came to us two years ago, a member of that famous down the river club, and all through her course she has done creditable work, both here and at the Training School. But writing lesson plans isn ' t the only writing- she does as can be proven by our Postmistress. From this it may be inferred that her noble profession will not hold her long.

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.

m MARY THELMA ELLIS Lloyds, Virginia Snooks Grammar Grades None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise. NOOKS is one of the most compe- tent Seniors. She is a pal and one really worth having. As to her in- tellectual attainments they cannot be questioned, especially in art and hy- giene. When not writing lesson plans she can be found down the hall in room 327, writing that daily to him maybe. We know such a persevering young- person will accomplish her undertak- ings whether they be school teaching or the ideal task of a woman-home- making. Y W. C.

VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN FARINHOLT Richmond, Virginia Ginnie High School A rare combination of intellect, tal- ent and a pleasing personality. [ KJHE president of Student Govern- |rnn| ment is a girl in a hundred. No one can equal jolly old Gin in sleeping, dancing, singing and eating- chocolate blanc mange. Virginia has never heard that she has made the highest marks in school during the last two years. Maybe it is because she is kept so busy trying not to get lost on Main street. From the looks of the Battlefield she is the onl} ' artist on the hill, and we will soon find from Who ' s Who she is the only artist in America.
