MARY LOUISE BLANTON McDuff, Va. I come to learn OUISE is a product of Greenville County. She has been with us four years and has been a quiet and hard- working member ever since. She believes in doing her best in whatever she under- takes, whether it is work or going home for week-ends, which she does quite often. But we don ' t blame her, because she lives so near. She is a girl of steadfast character and sturdy will. Her studious habits, sincer- ity of purpose and an unquestionable loy- alty thereto foretell a bright future for her. We wish her much success. MARGARET SUE BOTT Painter, Va. ' Not over-serious, not too gay, but a rare good fellow EHOLD! One of the best old sports in the Senior Class. Good old Bottey, that ' s what we call her, not that we think she ' s good at all, even if she is president of the Y. W. C. A., but she ' s just about the best remedy for the home-sick blues we know. Her smile is just one grand display of dimples and her eyes just run over with fun, and when she laughs — well, if Milton had heard it the boys and girls wouldn ' t be puzzling their heads over any 11 Penserosa, but we might have a regular jazz S ' Allegro, beginning like this: Hence, you mean old home-sick blues.

With OLIVE ANN BERRY Fredericksburg, Va. measured speech and action ordered PpTlOW, Olive is very quiet, but oh, so L J studious ! You never hear her argue ™ in any class, but she sits back in her chair with a great big smile on her face, as if to say: Please stop arguing for a little while. Really, I though we would have to make Olive stop teaching, for she lost so much weight we were really fright- ened to see her going to the Training School to teach, but, oh, she succeeded with flying colors. MYRTLE HOWARD BISCOE Fredericksburg, Va. Her friends don ' t have to love her. But, goodness! How they do! jj«|UTT is a very industrious little girl g, — when she has to be. She isn ' t exactly lazy — oh, no! — but she is a very strong believer in the old adage, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Myrtle does not live up on the hill. Even though we do not have the privilege of associating with her in our home life here at school, we have all learned to love and admire her. Some- thing tells us that Myrtle ' s perfect Frank (ness) will insure for her a per- manent happiness in the years to come. Twenty-one

GLADYS MARGARET BOXLEY Frederick Hall, Va. True Greatness Lies in Quiet u UST turn your eyes back to Septem- ber of nineteen liundred and twenty and you will surely remember Gladys as one of the new students that came to school that session. Beneath Gladys ' quiet and gentle man- ner exists one of our most conscientious and diligent students. She goes steadily on from day to day, never rushing into anything, and by her clear, steady manner has made a splendid record and gained a number of valuable friends. If you are ever in doubt as to your notes, just confer with Gladys, for she makes Punc- tuality her motto, and always has hers up on time. We feel that we can only add our sin- cerest wishes for Gladys ' success in the future. EFFIE FRANKLIN BROADDUS Newtown, Va. Love to one, friendship to a few, and good-will to all HOUGH Effie had reached her height in stature when she came to us, that height was nothing to the high place in our hearts whioh she has won with her gentle smile, her good work and her suc- cessful effort to win honor for her school and class. Did anyone ever see Eftle in a hurry? Even on the basket-ball floor that ease and deliberate manner has in- spired us. She happens always to be in the right place at the right time. Apart from that you will find Effie of a most generous nature. Under that ex- terior of modest reserve she wears a great big friendly heart, full of a lot of jolly, good fun. For a sweet disposition and the ability to play the game well, to meet the situation squarely, we will hand you the laurels, Effie. Twenty-three
