He has served on various committees during the four years. Johnnie expects to enter Staunton Military Academy in the fall.

It is impossible for anyone to stop her. Gertrude had the first principles of education indelibly im- pressed upon her in the excellent schools of Ken- ilworth. She is a very good natured, kind-heart- ed girl, always willing to help. Gertrude has been pursuing the Commercial Course and ex- pects to take a position in the business world, She won first prize in the Girls' Declamation Contest. The class of 1924 wishes her success. Commercial -O.. IRMA HARING Some think the world is made for fun and frolic, And so do I! That surely is lrma's standard. She never worries about anything but a good time. Les- sons and teachers never bother her, they are merely abstract beings. She is always in a good humor and her smile is a sure cure for the blues . Irma has been struggling with the Commercial Course for four years and expects to take a position in the business world, but we fear her employer will soon lose her services, for she shall decide to take up domestic science in a practical way.
