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

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

RUTH JONES LYNCH STATION, VA. Acorn Staff, Statistics Editor, 1921; Y. W. C. A., 1920-21 ; Anglia Literary Society, 1921; Expression Class, 1920-21; Tennis Club, 1921. What a number of different qualities we find in “Rufus”! One thing is certain, one will never stag¬ nate when Ruth is within a radius of five miles. If she can’t create excitement in any other way she has a pretty hysterical spell. We all feel that if Ruth didn’t tell us all the latest school news, we would be hopelessly lost. She makes such a handsome man that some of the callow Freshmen and Junior Acs have exclaimed: “Oh, wasn’t Ruth Jones the best¬ looking man ! I could fall in love with her as easy as anything.” Ruth has stage ambitions and if she keeps on we shall not be at all surprised in the near future to hear her compared with “Sarah,” or some such celebrity. MARGARET H. LEMMOND MATHEWS, N. C. Blackstonian Staff, Editor-in-Chief, 1921; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1921 ; Anglia Literary Society, 1921; French Club, 1921; Basket-Ball Manager, 1921; Ten¬ nis Club, 1920; N. C. Club, 1920-21; Eta Bita Pie, 1920-21. The most peppy, attractive, best all-’round girl in school, that’s “Lemmond” ! She wished to make The Blackstonian a success. She did so. She desired to make Basket-Ball more interesting than ever before. She did so. There is no end to the things she has done in the past and those she will do in the future. Her latest crazes are bicycling and being “dignified.” As the chairman of the Program Committee of the Anglia Literary Society she has worked faithfully and well. We have only one fault to find with her— she will persist in working herself to death instead of making the others do their share. Go to it, Lem¬ mond, here’s luck to you. 29
