Miss Hall believes that statement that one who makes the most noise has little else to offer. No noisy display advertises the many fine activities taking place in her English and history classes. Her pupils delight in her quiet ways, and Flora Macdonald too knew what it was doing when it gave her a B. A. dezree. Quiet and unassuming, Mr. Sadler teaches his general science and math classes with a firm yet pleasant manner. He has a keen sense of humor, a genuine concern for the welfare of the boys and Biris, and an alert interest in the affairs of the world. We wonder if that B. A. from the University of Va. gave him that enthusiasm for photography! storms may rurrle the quiet waters of school life, but Mrs, Rainey sails calmly on. At lon, besides winning her degree, she became aS good a fisherman as Mr. tainey- she caught the fish she wanted. Eer pupils in history prepare that lesson, for they know that at the end she will deal out marks with a positive hand. As the pupils see the twinkle in his eye, they listen atten- tively for the subtle fun Mr. Spencer is sure to poke at their faulty answers to his questions in biology and math. ‘when Hampden- Sidney awarded him his B. S., it also graduated one of its best athletes. Coaching is his real love and he does honor to it in his stern demand that all who participate play the game hard and fairly. Friday afternoon. The last bell rings and the secretary rushes to the library waving an announcement from the office, but Mrs. Nuckols is already getting into her car, hastening to her Richmond apartment and to her Woodrow , A glance around tells you that all . is in order and that wWiiliam and Mary did a fine job when it sent UMieseonesa™ Torth with a B.-A. to rule over a “library. . Eldon C. Grover is Pennsylvania's veritable son gbird, the envy of the boys and the delight of the girls. His pupils in English, history, and music positively will not pronounce their Syllables, and Ohio State University will not tolerate slurred Syllables. His knowledge of music proves that he has a B.

S. degree, puts a hum of activity into the commercial department. Speed, accuracy, and efficiency are key ideals, and each pupil knows that a terrible scolding awaits him if he fails to attain this ideal. A stentorian voice rumbles through the halls- All pupils report to Assembly . Locker doors click shut and scurrying feet hurry towards the auditorium. Mr. Driscoll has spoken. We wonder if something brewed in his chemistry class is responsible for a voice of such carrying power. W. and M. and the University of Va. had a hand in shaping this efficient leader and educator, and granted him B. S. and M. S. degrees. How I dread that Senior English! Miss Sadler surely makes you work . ‘We wonder if Madison College and the University of Va. do that to you before they will give you a B. A. and a M. A. degree, or is it the result»of the “Thirty Years ) War ? Both maybe. In addition to “lending a hand to the many requests for help by both teachers and pupils, Mr. Rainey instructs his classes in math., science, French and geography. lon provided him with foundation work, practical experience has added to his store of knowledge, and further work at University of Va. is about to be rewarded with aM. A. degree. Surely Mary-Baldwin, on a memorable day in June 1939, did not know that this graduate would soon be taking such a wholesome and sincere interest in the pupils of B.C. H. S. It perhaps did know that Miss Lapsley, by giving her best, would inspire her pupils to do their best, whether on the basketball court or in the mathematics or inglish classes. Karly in life Mitty Moore got well up in the world. From that vantage point he views the surroundingss with an impartial eye, but he frequently forgets the lowly things of life. His life at V. P. I. won him aM. S. degree. Somewhere along the line’ he developed a character that elicits the respect and love of all. He puts his whole soul into serving his agricultural boys.
