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. Art Editor of Aurora 23'-24 Member Baseball Team '22-'23 Member Track Team '22-'23. 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.

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.

.4 Z- X Q ANNA ELIZABETH FULTZ AssociaLe Editor of Aurora. '23-'24g Spelling Team, '22- '23. Parts in 1-'lays-A Scrap oi Paper, Madame Dupont. M1-lcr voice was ever low, gen- tle and sweet, an excellent llzing in women. Elizabeth is one of the most popular, versatile and talented girls in the Senior Class. She is becomingly modest, possesses an amiable nature, an infecteous smile, and seems to radiate joy and happiness wherever she goes. She manifests a decided literary ability and the high school was quick to recognize this by electing her Associate Editor of the Aurora. She de- serves much credit for her work in this capacity and we may say our class is very grateful to her for these services gladly given. We are absolutely safe in predicting for her a bright fu- ture. Twenty-four JOHN EARL CLICK Advertisinsx Manager of Au- rora '23-'24g Captain Basket- ball Team '23-'24: Member Basketball Team '22-'23, '23- '24: Marshal at Commencement '22-'23. Parts in Plays-Tzuu gles, Bill Tracy: The Junior, Willy Rockwcllg A Scrap of Paper, Francois. If we were aslced to decide who was the most valuable member of the Senior Class, john would be one who would receive careful and serious con- sideration. l-le is not especially brilliant in any particular branch of study, but what is much more to be desired, his is a well rounded education. Ho possesses all the attri- butes which characterize a true gentleman and nowhere is this better revealed than in a game of basketball or baseball where the true character of anyone comes to light. He goes out from this school with the con- fidence and good will of all his class mates and teachers.

Lady Ag- nesx Barriclclow. Blue-eyed, wide awake, mis- chievous will help in describ- ing Lillian, who among her in- timate friends is called Lil. Lillian has spent her entire school life at Bridgewater and she never tires of her life. Lil- lian claims that she studies very much but we have our doubts as to this fact, but we hope she will succeed in the four- year course in Home Econom- ics which she expects to take but we are trusting she will not get lost so much as she does in the Senior class room. Often when asked where Lillian could be we hnd her and one of the opposite sex somewhere in the room exchanging secrets.
