fy lgf ZF ...Q I, X 4- -1- f , ' I..gg-gittivrftw f ,, GLADYS LOUISE WALTER S. FLORY ORPHAVARTHELDA EARI-IART EVERS The first indication of domes- tic happiness is the love of one's home. 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.

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.

Black haired, brown eyes and full of energy, able to do a man's worlc if necessary, calm and peaceful are the phrases that describe Lula. Lula has attended Bridgewater every since she was a tiny chap and she has pressed on with ear- nest hope until she has reached the goal with the others but a hardship of missing nine weelcs school when a Senior detained her from winning the goal with as high honors as she might but we lcnow Lula and we lcnow that she will do her best and will plod on with the rect to reach graduation. Lula al pres- ent knows not of her future destiny. We trust she will ful- Htl a vacancy, what ever her place, with much success.

Of all the members of the Senior class, William is un- questionably the one who pos- sesses the lceenest sense of hu- mor and who is the most optimis- tic, although he never fails to see the humor in anything. he treats none of his worlc with undue levity and, in spite of the fact that the word study seems to him to be anathema. yet he manages to render a very good account of himself in all his subjects and at the same time affords the class numerous occasions for a good laugh by his humorous sayings and un- failing wit. He is the most cheerful light- hearted and buoyant member of our class and we certainly must admit that this is quite a credit to him.
