DOROTHY LOUISE FLETCHER CHERITON, VA. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. 1921 ; Secretary Junior Col¬ lege Class, 1920; Anglia Literary Society; Dreamers’ Club, 1920; Glee Club, 1920-21; Eastern Shore Club, 1920. Lately we Seniors have felt that we really know very little about Dorothy. Her outward character¬ istics are known: her sweet expression, her musical ability, and that charm which attracts so many. But we feel that “Annie Ruth” can tell you much more than we can. We can vouch that she can bluff, espe¬ cially in French, and we can also guarantee that she works conscientiously on English. She can usually be seen reading a letter from Hampden-Sidney, and she always says at the close, “Oh, girls, he blew me up.” We wish Dorothy all good luck in the future years and we feel sure that she will always reflect credit on Blackstone and the Class of ’21. HATTIE VIRGINIA JOHNSON ASHLAND, VA. Acorn Staff, Business Manager, 1920, Editor-in- Chief, 1921; Student Council, 1921; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1920-21; Anglia Literary Society, 1920-21; Latin Club, 1921; Expression Class, 1920-21; Dele¬ gate to Des Moines, 1920; Basket-Ball, 1921. Hattie is one of those rare individu als who com¬ bine work and pleasure in exactly the right propor¬ tions. She never “flunks” as the rest of us poor mor¬ tals do, nor does she get hauled up before the Stu¬ dent Council for not taking exercise; How does she do it? We don’t know, but we think it must be be¬ cause she is “just naturally smart.” With all her class work she finds time to play basket-ball, get out an Annual, serve on the Y. W. Cabinet, take a prom¬ inent part in plays and be a member of the Student Council. She is what we call a typical representa¬ tive of Blackstone. 27

EVELYN E. COVINGTON BURGESS STORE, VA. President of Athletic Association, 1921; Manager of Volley Ball, 1920; Varsity Basket-Ball Team, 1920-21 ; Tennis Club, 1920-21 ; President Tidewater Club, 1921; Utopia Supper Club, 1920-21. For two years Evelyn has brought fame to her class by her splendid work in athletics. We must confess that her forte is not books. Not that she “flunks”—Oh, no. Lately we have noticed a decided change in our classmate. Studies have become her hobby and she is working hard on Pedagogy, French and English. Besides all of this she is making elab¬ orate plans for Field Day. Here’s luck to you, Eve¬ lyn, and may next year bring Blackstone another such athlete. MARY ELIZABETH ESKRIDGE MARLINTON, W. VA. President of Student Council, 1921; Acorn Staff, Literary Editor, 1920, Arrangement Editor, 1921 ; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1921; Anglia Literary Society, 1920-21; French Club, 1921; Student Volunteer Del¬ egate to Des Moines, 1920; President of West Vir¬ ginia Club, 1920, Eta Bita Pie, 1920-21; Expression Class, 1920; Basket-Ball, 1920. Mary is undoubtedly one of the most prominent members of the Class. Besides being the President of the Student Council, she holds many offices of importance. Strange to say, she isn’t prissy. She is always ready for a good time and really isn’t very dignified except when she has to be. She possesses the greatest executive ability of any one in the Class and whenever we want anything to go through we put it in Mary’s capable hands. Moreover, every one is confident of her good judgment and common sense; and if she disapproves we may know there is something wrong. 26

LULULEE INEZ JOHNSON ASHLAND, VA. Acorn Staff, Literary Editor, 1921; Blackstonian Staff, Exchange Editor, 1921; Anglia Literary So¬ ciety, 1920-21; Latin Club, 1921; Y. W. C. A., 1920- 21; Basket-Ball, 1921. “Miss Inez” is another one of “those smart John¬ son girls.” Whenever we want any information on English, Latin or History, up to Room I we trot. In spite of her knowledge of matters “compendious,” her fun-loving nature shows itself quite frequently. Scanning Latin poetry seems to be her delight, and when she is in a “scanning” mood, her roommates seek refuge elsewhere. She has worked faithfully on both staffs for she secured a number of ex¬ changes for The Blackstonian and she collected all the literary material for the Acorn. When she dreamed on a piece of wedding cake “Red” came out last, so we all know her future. SARAH ELIZABETH JOLLS WYOMING, DEL. Acorn Staff, Joke Editor, 1921, Athletic Editor, 1920; Blackstonian Staff, Athletic Editor, 1921; Y. W. C. A., 1920-21; Anglia Literary Society, 1921 ; Latin Club, 1921; French Club, 1921; Glee Club, 1921; Basket-Ball, 1920-21; Tennis Club, 1920-21 ; Mongrel Club, 1921. Enthusiastic! Lively! Full of pep! Always willing to serve on the Y. W. Social Committee; Black¬ stonian Athletic Editor, and Joke Editor of the Acorn : That’s Elizabeth! From all the masculine hearts she’s broken, and the fat letters she receives from “Dick,” it is evident that she is attractive and entertaining. If Elizabeth ever gets stuck, leave it to her to bluff her way out of it. She can’t be downed. Success to you, Senior of ’21 ! 28
