THE MIRROR, 1922 lenior Cl ass Helen Robertson “Hyee” Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22. She ' s pretty to wall? with, and witty to laU( with, and pleasant, too, to thinly upon. Words fail us when we try to enumerate the talents and gifts of Helen. She is the “beauty” of our class, but added to her good looks are good sense, school spirit and a lovable disposition. She is always ready for a good time, but her studies never seem to suffer from n ' g ' ect. She goes from C. C. H. S. to Hollins and we feel that we are giving that school a student of which they will ever be proud. Cooper Ponton “Choqper” Pershing Literary Society, ' 22. A head to thinly, a heart to act and a hand to execute. ' Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce our professional class entertainer! Cooper is fond of all kinds of foolishness, and always ready to take part in any mischief that comes his way. Linda Thomasson “Lindy” Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22. Good humor and good sense must ever meet. Linda is ever smiling. She has a joke to tell everyone she meets and by her lovable disposition and attractive manner has won many friends throughout the whole school. We have heard many rumors about Linda and fear that she will not be on the “single list long, for the twin is waiting! Page sixteen

Senior Cl ass Helen Moss “Hel” Pershing Literary Society, ’21- 22; Art Editor Annual, ’22. She has many nameless virtues .’’ The casual observer might call Helen a very quiet, dignified girl, but to know her well is to change one’s mind com¬ pletely. Her friends know her to be full to the brim of life and fun. To turn to the things that really count in high school life, she gets along well with all of her lessons, plays basketball and has a poetical ability that is by no means insignificant. She is eminently practical too, and withal a lovable companion. Rufus Maddux “Pete” President Class, ’21, ' 22; Secretary-Treasurer Class, ' 20; Editor-in-Chief Annual, ' 22; Baseball, 19-’20-’21 - ’22; Basketball, ’20-’21 -’22; Vice-President Mystery Club, 21- ' 22; Pershing Literary Society, ’21 -’22; Captain Basket¬ ball, ’22; Oratorical Contest at Charlottesville, ’22. Titles of honor add not to his worth, who is himself an honor to his titles. This is our Senior president. We are proud of him for his school spirit and for the splendid stand he has taken in his classes. Whether it is a basketball or a baseball star we are seeking, or a speech to be made, or the hero’s part in the school play to be taken, we can always count on ‘‘Pete.’’ He is editor-in-chief of The Mirror, and whatever it re¬ flects may be attributed to him. He is not only a good sport, but one of the most brilliant students in our school. H IS high marks have always been an incentive to the other members of the class. He goes from us to Washington and Lee, and if he makes as good a record there as he has here we feel sure that his college life will be a glorious success. Nellie Moore “Nell” Pershing Literary Society, ' 21-’22. Ye gods, end this high school life And mal(e two lovers happy! Nellie continually reminds us that “great things come in small packages. She is ladylike and thoroughly in ear¬ nest about all her school work. She has many friends throughout the entire school and we feel sure that her life at Farmville will be just as successful as her stay at C. C. H. S. has been. Page fifteen

Senior Cl ass Madge Wood Pershing Lilerary Society, 21-’22. Checked for silence but never taxed for speech. Madge does not believe in wasting words on trivial sub¬ jects, hence her voice is seldom heard above the chatter of our lingual machinery, but some da,y we feel that she will be a model housewife, for her work in the Domestic Science Department has been excellent. Carroll Willis “Cliff Pershing Literary Society, 20- 22; Mystery Club, 22; President Sophomore Literary Society, 2 1 ; Assistant Busi¬ ness Manager Annual, ’22; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ' 22 . “Once a friend, always a friend. “Cliff” just entered our class this year, though he is known to everyone of us. A good record and many friends stand behind him and we feel sure that whatever he undertakes will work out for the best. We hear he’s in love, but that’s all light—-she ' s a Senior He goes to Washington and Lee next year and we wish him well. Bertie Yates “Bert” Pershing Literary Society, ’21 - ’22. “Bertie is ever faithful and true. As fine a girl as you ever fynew. Bertie, by her wonderful disposition, has inspired our class for the last two years. She leaves a good record, one of which anyone would be proud. We hear that she has chosen teaching for her life work. No need to fear about her, she will get along anywhere. Page seventeen
