To Marie, one of the most prominent and popular mem¬ bers of the illustrious Class of ’19, belongs the honor of being class president; and, by her skillful guidance and direction through all the labyrinths and intricacies of the past year, she has proved herself capable and worthy of filling this office. In every phase of school activity, Marie has been recognized as a person with ability and an indi¬ viduality all her own. Nothing has been complete without her presence, as her record along literary, dramatic, and athletic lines will show. After her three years here, it will be difficult to find some one to take her place (if you don’t believe it, just ask Martha) ; but we know that Marie will uphold the honor of C. E. I. wherever she goes. 11

White is our problem. We don’t know how to feed her on the food which best suits her delicate constitution, since delicacies, such as mayonnaise and banana salad, are not always available at C. E. I. We think that, upon a longer stay here, White would recuperate, but since she is planning to go to Wellesley next year, we fear for her. Although generally very cheerful, she occasionally becomes down-hearted, particularly after music lessons. Her “funny bone” is susceptible to finger thrusts and to “S-I-S T-E-R B-A-R K-E-R,” which causes her much dis¬ comfort and others great pleasure. White has made many friends at C. E. I., and is a most valuable addition to our class; indeed, we could never have done without her. 10

WILLI AM INA ATKINSON CHAMBERLAYNE CHARLOTTE COURT HOUSE, VA. “ ' Tis the voice of the sluggard, I hear him complain; You have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.” “Willy” burst upon Mrs. Willis’s sight three years ago, her hair in pig-tails and a broad grin on her face. Since then she has kept her place in our principal’s sight by her prominence in all such affairs as needed; well, just good common sense along with that other kind. To say “Willy” was capable would hardly cover the ground, for list! O reader, and you shall hear some of “Willy’s” accomplishments; . . Miss Bright herself has publicly informed her Virgil class that “Willy’s” seventeen years of experience have quite fitted her to instruct the whole class. “Willy” is our hero in all dramatics, a star on the athletic field, and our main refuge when we are in trouble. Do you wonder we are sorry to part from her? 12
