Senior Class Mildred Frances Fines “Silence is more eloquent than words.” Modest, simple and sweet—these are a few of the many admirable traits with which Mildred is endowed. Beneath her quiet, yet light-hearted spirit, there is a deeper personality that makes her one of the most dependable girls, the best sort of a friend and a conscientious student. Mildred still retains two characteristics which are rare in the Senior Class—dig¬ nity and long hair. F. FI. S. says: “We know you can’t miss your goal in life.” Robert Edward Gouldin “Good nature and good sense must ever join.” Ladies and gentlemen, meet Edward. If you’ve had the pleasure, you know a good fellow. He is a true son of Staf¬ ford ; also a lover and supporter of the Gold and Black. On top of a pleasant disposition he has a keen sense of humor and sound judgment. Being neither a prophet nor the daughter of a prophet, the writer is unable to predict the future, hut if, in after life, he will but repeat the success he has made at F. H. S., he will climb far up the ladder of fame. F. H. S. says: “Make us proud of you, Edward.”

Se mor Class Josie Tompkins Carneal “Thou hast the patience and the faith of saints.’’ Athletic Association, ’21, ’22. Steady, dependable and true is Josie. Her sweet smile has brightened the lives of all who have known her. Don’t get the idea that she is quiet and digni¬ fied. Just ask her friends, and they’ll tell you she is talkative and mischievous. F. H. S. says: “There are honors in this old world for all who will take them.” Thomas Silvanus Morrison “An honest man, close buttoned to his chin, Broadcloth without and a warm heart within.” Athletic Association, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; Foot¬ ball, ’22, ’23; Manager Football, ’23. Ah! the man! The boy who behaves in football like a real player. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, but handle him carefully; he is a rough gridiron star. He is on the spot at all times, at all places, and we are sure he will be one of Ole Virginia’s favorites ’ere long. When he leaves us this June, one of the mainstays of the football team will be gone. F. H. S. says: Do your best 1 ” Here’s to you, Tom.

Senior Class Florence Baptist Scott ' ‘Quietness is an indication of the ability to think.” Athletic Association, ’23, ’24; Art Editor of ’24 ‘‘Rapahanoc.” Florence has well remembered that “children should be seen, not heard.” However, when called upon, she is right there “with the goods.” She is a girl whose friendship is really worth culti¬ vating, and who is loyal and true. She is one of the art editors of the 1924 “Rapahanoc” and, with her many other abilities, we cannot help but feel sure she will be efficient in the great work¬ shop of life. F. H. S. says: “May your ‘reach’ always exceed your ‘grasp’.” Lemher Heights Sullivan ' ' The shallows murmur but the deeps are still.” Baseball, ’23. Yes, we have him! Another baseball star! He is a man that is hard to do without and many regret that he can’t keep on playing for the Gold and Black. He is usually quiet ( a rare thing with a Senior) and lets the other fellow talk on. Lemher has only been with us two years, but it doesn’t take a real student long to prove his worth. The Seniors aren’t prophets, but if indications are anything, sucess is beckoning him on. F. H. S. says: “May Dame Fortune ever smile on you.”
