n 4 Q2 'T - - xy W K' Mgfjiiiie Gammon is as studious as ever. She is at Harrisonburg. James Bruce heard so ' much about Georgia peaches that he went all the way to the University of Georgia to see L them and incidentally to study. Alma Lockwood is still making those high grades that she used to make in high school. She is at Harrisonburg. Gladys Poe is leading the yells at lfarmville. We still remember how the boys fell for her. George Franklin is the same old athlete at Washington and Lee that he was at Danville High. Red Nvilson is making a name for himself at V. M. I. Olivia Mobley fthe dignilied editor of the Cardinalj is a popular young lady at St. Mary's. Raleigh, N. C. She could not be otherwise than popular. Johnny Weber, the most popular boy of the Class of '24, is at Trinity, continuing his educa- tion. I-le is doing splendid work, and is working for his old high school position, business manager of the college paper. NVe know he will be successful in this venture. Even though John is no longer with us, we still work him. He is alumni editor of THE CARDINAL. It is rumored that he visits St. Mary's occasionally. We wonder why? Of course, we must say something of Mr. Hall and Miss Anthony. Mr. Hall is studying for his doctor's degree at 1-larvard. Miss Anthony is head of the English department at Concord State Normal, Athens, YVest Virginia. 1 have written this brief account of the members of the Class of '24 because we believe that you are interested in us, and may I say, in behalf of my class, that we are interested in the success that you are making and that our hearts are always with our old Danville High School.

Wie are glad to say that the majority of our class have seen lit 3 ek 1 to continue their educationg we wish that all of them could have done I QQ Q ' so. The others are somewhat scattered: two or three are back at the high school. some are working at home and in other cities, and three A J. T .9. Yfxf have married, I shall try to give you a brief account of my classmates, an where they are and what they are doing. I shall begin with the hap- piest oncs-those who have married-Polly Carter was married to Mr. Clifton Bernard in October, 1924. NVe congratulate Mr. Bernard on getting one of the sweetest young ladies in our class. Katherine Rucker decided that she preferred above all else to paint pictures of nnc man, so, after her marriage. she moved to New York. Grace Gentry was also con- tent to become a young house wifeg she married Mr. Berkley Edwards. The following are working at home and elsewhereg Dow Cooley is with a concern in 'Nest Virginia. He expects to attend VVilliam and Mary next year. We know that he will make good anywhere. Margaret Wfithers is working at home. She was such a good student in high school that we hope she can continue her education. Iulian Adams has a position with a tobacco company in Danville. He is the same old ladies' man. Robert Bous- man has a position with the city. This fact alone would make Danville a good place. Evelyn Warren is keeping houseg perhaps she expects to carry out the honor that her class gave her. Ida Mandle is a progressive typistg her oflice is in the Masonic temple. Bessie Ramsey is now a promising stenographerg she is working for Mr. Pryor Ragland. I-Ienry Lea will no doubt soon be a junior partner in his 'father's furniture business. Bits Ruffin is making a line record with the American Tobacco Company. He expects to attend Wasliiiigton and Lee next year. Helen Stephens is teaching school. Her only fault, as a teacher, is that she is too good to the pupils. The following members of our class are in college: Alice Schofield is at Harrison- burg Normal, studying hard as she always did at high school. Helen Cadwallader was not satished with the schools near home so she went to Ohiog she is making good grades as usual. Katherine Gallagher, on the contrary, likes to stay at home so well that she did not go any farther than Averett College. George S. Hughes is at the University of Vir- ginia. We hope he will make a Hne record there. I-Iortense Eanes is writing poems, play- ing the violin, and of course, studying at Harrisonburg Normal. Louise Hill is a very popular young lady at Harrisonburg. Bill Barr, the dignified freshman at the University of Richmond will be a noted professor or lawyer soon. Earl Rucker has followed the foot- steps of his father and is a cadet at V. M. I. Helen Booth is a Latin shark at Harrison- burgg if she is not, she should be. John Henry Lea Cthat descendant of General Leej is studying diligently at V. P. I. He was always a studious boy. Champe Broaddus, that sheik of Danville I-ligh, is at the University of Virginia. The two country girls are at Farmville. Mary is as mischievous as ever, but that is why we all liked her. Katherine had to leave school for an operation, and will not be able to return this year. We hope she will soon be well and able to go back. Alger Turner wanted to graduate from an old school so he went to VVilliam and Mary. I-Ie likes Mary very much so we have heard! The '25 Cardinal c
