HONOR HAMILTON LOCUST DALE, VA. Secretary of Senior Class, 1921; Eta Bita Pie, 1919-20-21; Acorn Staff, Organization Manager, 1921; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1921; Anglia Literary Society, 1921; French Club, 1921. Honor entered the Class of ’21 this session al¬ though she has been coming to Blackstone the last five years. She possesses a lovable disposition and when there’s work to be done, she can always be de¬ pended on. She has a host of friends who will miss her cheery smile and lively conversation when she leaves. LILIAN HERMOINE LONG CUMBERLAND, MD. Treasurer of Senior Class; Blackstonian Staff, Circulation Manager, 1921; Y. W. C. A., 1920-21; Anglia Literary Society, 1921 ; Expression Club, 1921; Tennis Club, 1921; Maryland Club, 1920-21. One of the Seniors called Lilian the “surprise girl” and that suits her perfectly, for she is always show¬ ing some new phase of her character. We have just discovered that she plays the piano well enough to “solo” at concert. Nearly every morning she can be seen playing tennis or taking a brisk walk. When we were needing typists the “surprise girl” came forth and typed page after page. Perhaps the great¬ est surprise of all, though, was when she prayed in prayer meeting. Who would have thought it? Lilian can always be counted on for good things and counted out when it comes to things that are apt to end before the Student Government Council. We wonder if she will teach in Hawaii next year as she plans. 24

JESSIE LEE MILLER NEWPORT NEWS, VA. President of Senior Class; Treasurer of Student Council, 1920; Acorn Staff, Business Manager; Y. W. C. A., 1920-21; English Club, 1921; Tennis Club, 1920; LTtopia Supper Club, 1920-21. How Jessie ever got the reputation of being digni¬ fied we Seniors have never been able to tell. She may look a trifle awe-inspiring and being on the Stu¬ dent Council does make her a trifle more formidable, but there is no “dignified Senior” more fun-loving and a greater cut-up than “Jeshie.” We have found that she always does her work conscientiously and well. She has made a most capable Class President and has handled the Acorn funds in a masterly man¬ ner. We hardly know what to prophesy for her but we know that she will always carry out whatever she undertakes. MARGARET MOORE WILSON, N. C. Vice-President of Senior Class; Y. W. C. A., 1920- 21; French Club, 1921; Tennis Club, 1921; N. C. Club, 1920-21; Eta Bita Pie Supper Club, 1920-21. Who’s that we hear giggling? Surely no one but Margaret Moore. From morn till night Margaret grins, giggles and chuckles her way through life. Whenever any one has a severe attack of blues Mar¬ garet comes along and cheers while she comforts the downcast one. Still she can be serious if the occa¬ sion demands it. She insists, however, that it’s better to laugh than to cry and this seems to be her motto. It’s hard to tell where Margaret will be next year, but where she is the best wishes of the Senior Class will follow her. 23

EVADNYRJOYCE ARTHUR GLADYS, VA. Member of Y. W. C. A., 1919-20-21 ; French Club, 1921. In Joyce we find all of the qualities that go to make up a good Senior. She works hard and can always be depended on to do her share in any mis¬ chief. Her sole ambition seems to be to get A on English and to this end she strives earnestly. She has all the good wishes of the Senior Class for a bright and happy future. WILLIE GERTRUDE BEAUCHAMP RAINSWOOD, VA. Acorn Staff, Business Manager, 1921 ; Member of Y. W. C. A., 1920-21; Varsity Basket-Ball Team, 1921. This member of the Senior Class is indeed highly honored, for Miss NeVille has declared, “Mademoi¬ selle Beauchamp is never seen without a smile.” We all, without exception, heartily agree with Miss Ne¬ Ville. Gertrude is also noted for her speed in bas¬ ket-ball. If you don’t believe it just ask some of the “bloomin’ Acs” who saw her play on Thanksgiving day. Her greatest bugbear seems to be “Milton’s Cosmology.” None of us can blame her for that. In future years we are expecting to hear great things from Gertrude, for is she not a member of the Class of ’21? 25
