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.

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.

GLADYS CROWTHER KINSALE, VIRGINIA Poe Literary Society, 1926-27; Y. W. C. A., 1926-28; Bats, 1926-28; Epworth League, 1926-28; Latin Club, 1926-27; Northern Neck Club, 1926-27; Basket¬ ball Squad 1926-27 ; Athletic Association, 1926-28. “Sweet and Low isn ' t that Gladys? But to really know her just read her rhymes. The Senior class of ' 28 will be known largely because it contained a poet. When Gladys demonstrates her de¬ livery in a speech, you just naturally “sit up and take notice. We admire her for this but we haven’t room to tell you the rest. You will just have to know Gladys for yourself and then you ' ll love her as we do. MYRTLE CROWTHER BYRDTON, VIRGINIA Y. W. C. A., 1926-27; Northern Neck Club, 1926-28; Le Cercle Francais, 1926- 27; Athletic Association, 1927-28; Ep¬ worth League, 1926-28; Tiger, 1926-28; Poe Literary Society, 1926-27. If Gladys sings “Sweet and Low,” the other Crowther” sings “Smiles, for we rarely see Myrtle blue. When she entered B. C. G., in the seemingly long ago,” she was smiling, and we have come to depend upon her for our sunshine when the skies are dark. 24
