. STEWART BULIFANT “Stew “A friend to all.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Football Squad, ’24-’25; Glee Club, ’25- ' 26; Spanish Club, ’25- ' 26. Stewart doesn’t say so much, but we never forget that he is around. He is one of those fellows who make themselves felt. “Stew” has helped a great deal on the football squad and he has filled many a hole left vacant by others. He keeps up well in his studies and is also quite a song bird in the Glee Club. MARY CHARLES “Nuisance” “Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Woodrow W ' ilson Society, ’23-’24- ' 25; Spanish Club, ' 25. Mary is happy-go-lucky, and though tactless, she has a knack of smoothing things over with a con¬ tagious giggle or another blunder . If you want to laugh just go up to room 203 any day in the week, and enjoy yourself. Mary can entertain a roomful. Since Christmas something has been disturbing the even tenor of Mary’s way. Look on the exterior of her left hand, and you may learn the trouble. ELIZABETH NEWMAN COLEMAN “Liz” “Ever in smiles, never dreary.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Junior Chorus, ’25; French Club, ’25; Basketball Squad, ’25- ' 26; Journalism Club, ’26; Boosters Club, ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’26. Although “Liz” has a boyish bob, she is really one of the few T dignified flappers. We don’t judge by the outside. She always comes out to games—especially basketball—and helps with the yells. “Liz” ahvays knows just how to dress. But we consider her vivac¬ ious facial expression one of her greatest attributes. MARGUERITE ORA CONGDON “Marg” “A flapper — no.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Commercial Club, ’24; Spani sh Club, ’24-’25-’26. Marguerite hails from Florida, and in these days of painted twentieth century flappers, it is surely a relief to find a bashful, quaint little girl, reminiscent of days gone by, when girls were quiet and dignified. A truly old-fashioned type is Marguerite, yet not lacking modern ideas either. We all love to hear her talk, for the way she drawls out each word is very fascinating.

FLORENCE HASKINS BRADLEY “Flo” “Oh, blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow as cheerful as today. Appreciation Club, ’23-’2f; Athletic. Association, ’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Secretary French Club, ’26. Florence believes in perpetual good humor and it really does take good humor plus endurance to struggle through four years of Math. We haven ' t decided whether “Flo” will be a business woman or a housekeeper. At present she seems very indepen¬ dent, but you never can tell. GERTRUDE VIRGINIA BROCKLEY “Gert” “Once your friend, always your friend. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24- ' 25-’26; Ath¬ letic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ' 26. Everyone knows our “Gert!” She is a friend to everyone of us. Whenever we ask her a question, she is always ready to answer it. We have yet to see her when she is not smiling. She ' s quite sweet, quiet and refined. Here’s a girl who is not only good-natured but can keep others in a good humor. ELLEN MARIE BRUCE “Billie” “Infinite treasure in a little room. Latin Club, ’23; Commercial Club, ’24- ' 25; Spanish Club, ’25-’26. “Billie” is small and has blue eyes and pretty golden hair, that is very boyishly bobbed. ’Neath a little make-up gleams the real Billie,” ever smil¬ ing, perpetually talking. Her “honest Injun goal” is her diploma, but still it’s just the feminine nature which causes her to snatch a few flirtations on the side. DAVIS BULIFANT “Davey” “Joyous and happy, from care I am free.” Athletic Association, ’24-’26; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26; Latin Club, ’25; Orchestra, ' 25-’2G; Basketball Squad, ’25; Football Squad, ’26. Davis is a real genuine, hard-working somebody. I ' ll bet that Davis has said. “Yes, ma’am, and what can I get for you?” a thousand times if lie’s said it at all. In addition to being a member of one of Hampton’s most successful retail establishments, he is an accomplished musician. He and Max Pat¬ rick are almost inseparable, but it doesn’t seem that Max’s lack of energy has been transferred in the slightest degree.

VIRGINIA ANNE CURTIS “Brick “On with the dance, Let joy be unconfined! Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Operetta, ’24- ' 26; Glee Club, ’24-’25-’26; Appreciation Club, ’24; Junior Chorus, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25-’26; Associate Edi¬ tor Krabba, ’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Vice-President D. D. K., ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. Virginia has enough pep for three people. One of the ways in which she expresses this pep is in the terpsichorean art. Never a step too intricate, never a whirl too swift for our best dancer. You can de¬ pend on her to talk at any time or place about any¬ thing or anybody. Although she is brimming over with joy, she finds time to calmly knock off two or three A’s a month. She has a nightingale voice which she uses to advantage—even charming our “Pirate Chief.” VIRGINIA BELLE DEANE “Dinga” “She can work, she can play — The kind of a girl one loves alway .” Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Latin Club. ’24; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26 ; French Club. ’26. Virginia is a combination of rare finding. Not often do we find a good student and a good sport, too. But here we have one. “Dinga” makes us feel ashamed. No matter what we ask her to do she always answers with a good-humored “O-yea.” This will help her patients in later years, because we know “Dinga” will be as good a nurse as she is a friend. RUBY VIRGINIA DIXON “Pete” “A friend, a pal. Just my kind of a gal. Music Club, ’25-’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’25-’26; Glee Club, ’25-’26; Secretary Thomas Jefferson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Journal¬ ism Club, ’25-’26; Pioneer Staff, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ’26; Treasurer Senior Class, ’26. Ruby never shouts to tell you she’s there, she doesn’t need to. Even though she is a quiet girl, she makes herself felt. She is in almost everything that goes on. and she does her part and more. Efficiency plus—that ' s Ruby. “Pete” is a “jewel.” MALVINA VIRGINIA ELLIOTT “Sherlock” “A quiet mind is nobler than a crown. Athletic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ' 26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. Virginia lives off of trignometry. In fact she hasn ' t yet found a Math problem of any kind that she couldn’t work. But Math is only one of the many subjects that do not seem to phase her. Vir¬ ginia is a lovable companion and an interesting talker. She is also what we call a “good listener.” She doesn ' t ever seem to tire of hearing other people talk, but when she says a word we all sit up and take notice. StJohh ' iC , -ek f; s ...
