ELEANOR GERTRUD E TURKS. “The early bird catches the worm. In the fall of 1920 Eleanor, better known as “Purks,” blew in from King George. Thus united to our class after an absence of a year. Purks says, “No more country school for me.” Therefore, we can bet on her holding up our class standard. Studious is no name for her, for often the “midnight oil burns, but the result comes the following day when her hand is raised in response to Miss Rhea’s English questions. Good luck, old girl. ADELAIDE ROWE. “If I mill, mill, and if I won ' t, I wont. Art Editor Jazzy Juniors; As¬ sistant Art Editor Rapahanoc; Dramatic Club. She plays, she sings, she draws, and many other accomplishments has Adelaide. She makes a fine, haughty, dignified, queenly young lady, as was shown by her role in the Senior play. When she sets her mind on anything she carries it through with great enthusiasm and success, but whichever way her mind happens to be made up, no cyclone could ever change it. 23

GEORGE COULTER PHILLIPS. There map he heller looking men than , but 1 doubt it.” Baseball Team, 1920; Presi¬ dent of Junior Class; Captain Football, 1921. Coulter is an all round good sport. One of the stars on our baseball team, he is always ready with the glove. He was captain of the football team, and his good cheer and “pep” always spurred the other boys on to play harder. Last, but not least, he is an ace” at breaking hearts (who could count the number of affairs Coulter has had since he has been in high school?) 22
