Steadiness and pluck and determina¬ tion ; these describe our “Biddle” per¬ fectly. She is one of those girls you can’t help but like. Quiet and reserved to those who are not her intimate friends; among those who know and love her; she is lively to the nth degree. Best of luck, “Biddle.” JULIA BOWLER CRIGLERSVILLE, VIRGINIA Epworth League, 1926-28; Bats, 1926- 28; Lanier Literary Society 1926-27; Rambling Ten Hiking Club, 1927-28; Semper Fidelis Club, 1926-28; Athletic Association, 1926-28; Madison Club, 1927 -28; Le Cercle Francais, 1926-27. W ho is that little girl over there? A high school kid? No, of course not, it ' s Julia and she’s a full fledged Senior. Julia may be little, and rather inclined to he a mouse, but her friends declare that she is great fun. Julia is one of the folks that constitutes our Senior class. She is the short of the long and short of it. 20

RUTH BRUBAKER RIVERTON, VIRGINIA Y. W. C. A., 1926-28; Athletic Asso¬ ciation, 1926-28; Epworth League, 1926- 28; Secretary Epworth League, 1927-28; Sidney Lanier Literary Society, 1926-27 ; Bat, 1926-28; Le Cercle Francais, 1926- 28; President “Flock o ' Trampers Hyk- ing Klub,” 1926-27; Dramatic Club, 1927- 28; Basket-ball Squad, 1927-28. Just “a song without words.” You won’t see Ruth at her best until you see her on the basket-ball floor. No, Sir! that isn ' t all she means to us, though. Did you ever see Ruth in any but an amiable mood and without her ready smile? Can we say anything better for Ruth than that we’d all enjoy her as a friend, always ? ALMA HAZEL CARPENTER PRATTS, VIRGINIA Bats, 1927-28; Epworth League, 1927- 28; Le Cercle Francais, 1926-27; Music- Club, 1926-28; Harvey Hiking Club, 1927 -28; Athletic Association, 1926-28; Sid¬ ney Lanier Literary Society, 1926-27; President Madison Club, 1927-28; “Flock o’ Trampers Hyking Klub, ” 1926-27. Every one admires the lovely color in Hazel’s cheeks, and the twinkle in her brown eyes. She may be happy-go-lucky, but she’s sincere and a friend worth knowing. Hazel is always in the thick of the fun and in the thickest was where she landed the time she went snipe hunt¬ ing. 21
