We1'e it necessary to lose some member of the class Dee would be one person with whom we would be most loath to part, for it would be almost impossi- ble to praise his worth to the Senior Class and consequently to the whole school. He is up to the general standard in his studies and is exceptionally good in all forms of athletics. He goes out from this school well equipped, both mentally. and physically. to successfully cope with the problems which the future may hold in store for him.

She felt as though to further meet her needs she would turn her steps for a higher place so she entered B. H. 5. as a junior September, l922. She has made thc most of her opportunities, struggles. and miztalces. Ruby is ll quiet girl but her thoughts run deep and through this she has mastered all the obstacles that lie in the way of becoming a Senior and a graduate. With thc exception of guarding she is useful and is liable to be used anywhere in playing a game. She has won letters for two successive years. Ruby ex- pects to do teaching as her life worlc.

Although he de- votes considerable time to his school work, let it be under- stood wo entertain no fears of his health being impaired from hard study and overworlc, Paul has one peculiarity which we can not quite under- stand and that is an unnatural tendency to come in after the hrst period in the morning which happens to be Physics.

Robert is one of the most studious, reliable, ambitious and hard working members of the Senior class, and one needs only a glance at his grades to see how well his efforts are reward- ed. He always aims high, in fact, he would not be satisfied with grades which some of us- could we be so fortunate as to receive them-would consider excellent. He sets a good ex- ample of what persevering study can do for anyone who has the desire and determination to forge ahead.

Although he is doing some extra work in order to graduate this year, this in no way lowers the standard of his work generally as the Seniors can testify. His favorite study is Geology and we believe that he expects to specialize in this branch of education. He is a valuable member of the baseball team as is shown by the fact that he has won his letters and we are depending upon him to help us to again win the county baseball championship. We expect, in fact we are almost sure. that he will some day be recognized as a very great geologist.

Gladys, familiarly known as ul-lappyh belongs to the class of '24 by promotion from the eighth grade and has spent all her school life at Brdigewater. Her best and usual excuse is because she has so much more than anyone else has to do at home and this because she uses the Cupp in the wrong way and that is without the saucer. Ask Gladys something in the school room and you may be sure you know what to expect, a big yawn and a sleepy look. But after all this Gladys has her good traits. one of which is that she will be satished to stay at home and keep house for her mother. We wish her much success in everything she tries to do.

Our class is greatly indebted to Walter for the many services which he has so willingly per- formed in the publishing of this Annual. Walter is usually pro- hcient in all his studies and in- cidentally he has the honor of being one of the youngest mem- bers of our class. We are confident that he will make his mark in the busi- ness world and we shall con- sider the vocation that can number him in its ranks as in- deed very fortunate. Alumni Editor Aurora '23- '24: Chairman Class Jewelry Committee, Class Social Com- mittee. Orpha spent six or seven years of 'school life in Augusta County. She felt as though she could better Ht herself for life if she removed herself from Augusta and came to Bridge- water and so she entered B. H. S. Orpha is the type that goes in and tackles the thing. She does it with an untiring effort. Orpha is modest too. When it comes to programs or such work Orpha is an appreciated char- acter. All like Orpha and no denying it. To Ht herself for life as a Missionary she will go from high school into college. We see a radiant light shining forth from the life of our dear class mate, whose quiet, faith- ful efforts made teachers as well as pupils love her.
