He can get along with less work in lab. than any one else. XVhile he did not make the basketball team he made the members work hard to get ahead of him. He is also a great second baseman. VVhile Doc has not been hit by the flames yet, he is getting along at a sur- prising rate. Good luck Doc. CRCILE L. McCo1.L1sTr:R .llt'Illf7C'l' of Literary S0l'l.l'f.V Cecile. who possesses considerable com- mand and executive ability, especially among her schoolmates, is one of the most noteworthy characters of our class. Although she has never had any great fondness for studying the daily lessons assigned. she has found a deep love for literature and is the most widely read among us. She has acquired a very vivid imagination and has displayed it success- fully in compositions and short stories which she has written for English, but more than that she has won for herself the place as Class Prophet, Cecile is one of the inseparable two. in fact, we do not see how she and Olive will be able to get along without one another when their school days are over.

DIEFFERSON Member of Literary Society, Atlzlet-ic Association, Baseball and Basketball Teams Jeff, although a native of this metro- polis, has not been with us during all four years of our eventful career, but started out on a sojourn which included two years at John Marshall High School and one year of office work, however, as his mind developed he began to see the errors of his ways and finally returned to us in our Junior year. Since then he has buckled down to his work as though Varina were the only place on the map Cexcept Glendalel, and has played an admirable part in all the school activities, as is shown by the fact that he won letters for baseball and basketball both years. a position on the 'ZZ Literary Team, a posi- tion on the Varinian Staff, a position in the heart of our salut-but that is not exactly school activity-in short he's proven to all of us satisfactorily, and to one of us supersatisfactorily, that he is an honest to goodness fellow and a worth while friend.
