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

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

LOUISE LITTLE CATAWBA, N. C. Blackstonian Staff, Assistant Editor, 1921; Tennis Club, 1921; Y. W. C. A., 1921 ; Secretary of Anglia Literary Society, 1921; French Club, 1921; Basket- Ball, 1921; Vice-President Bobbed Hair Club, 1921 ; N. C. Club, 1921; Leap Year Supper Club, 1921. Behold our infant prodigy! The baby of the Class ! Although she’s been with us but one year we’ve found out her vices and virtues. She started off by being elected an officer of the Literary Society. She kept going when once started, worked hard, and filled all of her offices admirably. She seems to be very fond of “Dixie,” but all Southerners are that way. Her greatest trouble is keeping quiet in French Class. If one day should pass without “Madamoi- selle Little” blurting out, we would feel quite sure she was sick. But for all her blurting out, and her incessant talking, she is a good scout and we are glad to have her in the Class of ’21. EMILY AMORETTE RASH KENBRIDGE, VA. Vice-President of Student Council, 1920; Y. W. C. A., 1920-21 ; Anglia Literary Society, 1921; French Club, 1921; Student Volunteer; Varsity Basket-Ball, 1921 ; Tennis Club, 1921. Behold and gaze upon the smiling countenance of Amorette. She is a serious disappointment for she rarely does anything “Rash” except to fall in love. Every time she goes to a Student Volunteer confer¬ ence she falls in love all over again and comes back with two or more “preachers” on her string. We wonder which one she will choose to go to Asia, Africa, or the Fiji Islands with her, for to some such place Amorette is going as a medical mission¬ ary. She’ll be successful whether in the foreign fields or at home for she is truly in earnest and she always does her best in anything she undertakes.
