RUTH BEERY Washingtonian Lewisburc, West Vircinia Ruth’s college career from the very beginning has been a round of honors and distinctions in a varied field of activities. She has stood as leader of her class—she engineered the Martha Mirror through one year of finance -has been connected with the Sphinx for two years as Associate Editor. Then Ruth is athletic— she is musical, she is witty and jolly with her Puddle- Jumper. Is it any wonder that Ruth is always the center of a host of friends? And on bidding her class good-bye she will leave one behind who will wander over the campus as he “who treads alone some banquet-hall deserted.” 28

Nat ca ne to us from Randolph-Macon Academy in the fall of 1920, and since that time the walls of “Her- mes” have echoed in response to his oratory. Both his opponents here and in nearby institutions have found it necessary to listen to his arguments and respect his way of getting them told. We can do nothing less than predict a big success for him in the missionary fields of Africa, where he expects to render his life’s work. 29
