.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.

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.

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.

Mildred says early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Mildred hailed from Pleasant Valley in medieval period of B, H. Sfs history and has come through wonderfully for such a tiny baby girl as she. Mildred expects to remain at home for at least one year and chances are that the next we shall hncl her teaching school. We hope she enjoys it. We are sure she will. Twenty-three

Ruby born and reared in Spring Creek vicinity was des- tined to B. H. S. '2l'-22. She entered as a sophomore 'coming from Dayton. All that seems to enter Ruby's mind is by hav- ing a good time, playing bas- ketball, and amusing the boys by talking to them. We be- lieve that Ruby never studies because if she did she surely would be one of the stars of the class. We expect her to be a professional athlete some day. She is expecting to attend col- lege in the future. Her pres- ence is usually detected by the peculiar laugh that she gives. County Tennis Contestant 'Zb- '24. Member Class Basketball Team '20-'2l.

Joseph. better known as Boswell is one of the most popular of all the Seniors. His popularity can in large meas- ure be ascribed to his geniality and unfailing wit. Although he has an abhorence for all forms of study. Yet he oc- casionally delves into such ob- struse subjects as Physics and Geometry and astonishes both teachers and classmates. How- ever this propensity to eschew all subjects requiring hard study and close application, we pre- dict a brilliant future for him because of his musical talent. Show: My Irish Rose, Eileen Fitzgerald: A Scrap of F..1ner, Mlle. Suzanne De Ruse Jille. Another one of our blue eyed, fair haired girls is Lo- reen. Loreen is fun loving, amusing and always bright and cheerful. which is saying quite a bit. Her chief hobby seems to be to make other members of the class laugh when it is most necessary for she, herself, to keep quiet. After all this Loreen seems to get along ex- cellent with her school work. We rejoice in hnding among l..oreen's good qualities that quality of a poetic genius. .Al- though Loreen plans to teach school we believe we will had her some sweet, sunny day strolling the meadows of the Shenandoah Valley composing poetry on Nature's choices! sub- jects.
