She had the signal distinction of being chosen Orange Land Queen, and a Coronation ball was given in her honor. ..............Advisor Many centuries ago a small European peninsula pro- vided a dwelling place for a race of people, known as Greeks. They had a common l-anguage, religion, and cul- ture and were envied by other nations. Because their lands were fertile and their resources copious they were susceptible to frequent attacks from their enemies. With steadfast zeal they easily defeated all toes and finally, their valor being unreputed, men no longer dared to contest with them. Then came a period in their history that far excelled the culture of former ages- Still today the eloquence of their accomplishments is such a revelation of beauty that men doubt that it ever can be rivaled or excelled. But, with- standing the fact that the ancient splendor seems invincible, we have found in our school a modern example which might truly have a place in line with that exotic, antique beautyl -Dorothy Gump Page 2

E UTY UEEN The most beautiful senior in Wil- liams Countyl That's what they are saying about our Virginia Gabriel, who brought honor to herself and to her school by being crowned queen of the annu-al Horse Show at Bryan over more than half a score of con- testants from all of Williams County. May we say we are justly proud of her and that she deserved the great honor bestowed upon herl fVictor Thorpe VIRGINIA GABRIEL Beautyl Thousands have tried to find it, more have tried to invent it and still others merely attempt to describe it. Some say it is an all-pervacling presence which unfolds to the numberless flowers of spring, that it waves in the branches of the trees and in green blades of grass, that it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And they see not only these minute objects but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun, all overflowing with beauty. The l937 class of Montpelier High School visualizes beauty personified by human relationship, mental growth, varied interests, physical vigor and Co- operation. With these thoughts paramount in mind we have tried to make this book an example of our theme. -Dorothy Gump Page 3
