The upper classmen noticed W ' us enough to call us Rats 6,5 Q Our instructors for the year were Miss Stoneman, Miss Sutphin, Miss McCraw, Mr. Rice and Mr. Baker. During the year we lost three of our classmates, Terrell Jenkins and Raymond Beasley, who found some other occupation better than school life, and Lyston Day, who moved to Richmond. A very short but happy vacation followed, and when September, 1923, came around again we found ourselves to be Sophomores. VVe soon discovered that three of our classmates had dropped from our ranks. Josephine Logan decided to continue her education at a city school, and Atlee McCue and Edward Holst moved away from this community. VVe were glad to see two, new pupils from Glendale, Constance Foxall and Elizabeth Yahley. Mary Hamilton also joined us, but later in the year. Miss Stoneman and Mr. Baker were the only members of the faculty of the previous year who returned to us Q in place of the others we had Miss Summers, Miss Stone and Mr. Anderson. We now played a more important part in the school, taking part in the literary activities more than ever before, and our class gave the best Junior League program of the year. We also took part in athletics, Raymond McCann and Walker Peers playing on the basket- ball team, helping Varina to win many games. The following September we returned to our work, and were really Juniors. '+-iii 21

Josiah is a hard, conscientious worker, quiet but fun-loving. He is always polite to the girls, something which they appreciate, but he also has much curiosity. Josiah takes an active part in athletics and has represented us creditably in contests and games. We hardly know what to predict for him but we believe he is interested in farming and will some day be a country gentleman. 1.4. 1 ROBERT SIGMUND Robert is a quiet lad, Neither good, neither bad. Robert is a very quiet boy, who spends his time studying and reading, He sometimes concentrates so hard that he gets his class periods mixed and appears in the wrong class, much to his own embarrassment. Robert often startles his classmates with ir- relevant remarks: we do not know whether he is talking to himself, to us, or just think- ing aloud. He does not yet know what he intends to do, but we think he has all the qualincations for making an excellent college professor. sat 20

MIL' u'I?lQ.X, 0 ivy? jlagw ,MRM villa.: ' Es Mr. Abernathy was our new agriculture teacher, in Mr. Ander- son's place, and Mrs. Dorey was added to the faculty later in the year. Six of our members failed to return this year. Eleanor Frayser and Vlfalker Peers attended business college, Fanny Barnett and Paul Schultz attended Charles City High School, Dorothy Dew moved to Richmond, and Edward Guy, jr., found farming more interesting than school work. Again we had some new members from Glendale-Thelma Perk- ins, Alene Hobson and Beatrice Durret. The latter did not remain with us very long, however. Hobson Reynolds later joined our ranks and kept our number on roll from decreasing. We again had two members on the basketball team, Raymond McCann and Josiah Fussell. This year the best girl reader, Constance Foxallg the best boy reader, Herbert Baughan, and one of the best debaters, Gertrude Drinker, of the school came from our class. At Christmas-time we had a big surprise, as Miss Stoneman became Mrs. George Oliver. When we entered school in September, 1925, we missed one of our former classmates, Alene Hobson, who did not find school work very interesting. i Miss Talley took Miss Stone's placeg Miss Taylor came in the place of Mrs. Oliver, and Miss O'Neal took Mrs. Dorey's position. VVe had one new member, Martha Lee Elliott, who played an important part in the girls, basketball team and in the other activities of the school. Mary Hamilton left us at Christmas-time as she found a home of her own in Oklahoma more interesting than school. Martha Lee Elliott, Raymond McCann, Josiah Fussell and Eu- gene McAnally creditably represented us in athletics. As our class has worked together in harmony through their years of school work we feel sure that each will work in harmony with the world, and we trust that each one will choose the road to success.
