KATHLEEN CLAY CLARKSBURG, W. VA. 2 I X ; A L X President, Poe Literary Society, 1926-27; Glee Club, 1926-28; Basket-ball, 1926-28; Bats, 1926-28; Cap¬ tain Bats, 1927-28; Literary Editor Acorn. 1927-28: President Y. XV. C. A., 1927-28; Captain, 1927-28 Squad. Surely the poet who wrote, “Light eyes, bright eyes, daughter of a fay,” was thinking of Kathleen ' s counterpart. Truly she was favored by the fairies, for she possesses so many admirable qualities that we have summed them up in our own expression, the “most talen¬ ted. As a running center, she has few superiors on the basket-ball court; as an artist, she’s the best; as a student, her teachers say she ' s fine; she’s Black- stone’s Jenny Lind. MARION ATLEE COLEMAN SCOTTSVILLE, VIRGINIA Y. Y. C. A., 1926-28; Tigers, 1926-28; Poe Literary Society, 1926-27; “Flock o’ Trampers Hyking Klub,” 1926-28; Dram¬ a tic Club, 1926-28; Epworth League, 1926 -28; Harvey Hiking Club, 1927-28: 2 IX. From Marion’s first cheer) ' word, to her witty conversation and her fleeting smile, you know she is what we Amer¬ icans call true blue.” Only time can show how much her faithfulness to duty, her friendship and her jollity have meant to her Alma Mater. Were we all more like her, we should never fear that Black- stone’s ideals would ever fail to be up¬ held.

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

A., 1927-28; Wynn Hiking Club, 1927-28; Bats, 1927-28; Athletic Association, 1927-28; A 2 X. “Shine” is one of our smallest and, yes, she is our cutest Senior; and some one has described her thusly: “She ' s the girl that makes a hit, Has what Elinor Glynn calls “It,” Never mad, always gay, just a girl that wins her way. Never worrying, always free, So just what more could a girl be?” FRANCES CROWDER BLACKSTONE, VIRGINIA Tigers, 1924-26; Bats, 1926-28; Y. W. C. A., 1927-28; Glee Club, 1927-28; Day Students’ Club, 1927-28. Are you looking for a songster? A girl loyal to friends and duty? One who means something fine and beauti¬ ful to those about her?
