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 ...

. 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.

JOHN PENDLETON ELLIS ‘•Pete’’ “Is not the man of few words the best! Spanish Club, ’24-’26; Glee Club, ’24-’25; Athletic Association, ’24-’25. “Pete” is one of the best men in our class. He doesn’t shine in any particular place, but is good at everything. Besides being most scrupulously neat in everything, he is just as scrupulously thorough. Things that are left to him to be done are usually done right on time. WILLIAM CLARENCE GARDNER “Bus” “Better a man blush than turn pale.” Football Squad, ’23; Football Varsity, ’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24-’25; Glee Club, ’24; Minstrels, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25. “Bus” is a mixture of good looks and football ability. Yes, he even went so far as to risk his the rough and tumble game of foot- is most loyal W school board itsen. KELVIN RICHARDSON GEGGIE “Ky” “Never troubles trouble until trouble troubles him.” Latin Club, ’25; Bogs Society, ’26; Boosters Club ’26. “All right, Kalavin, me lad.” Here’s another rare specimen, a very rare one. He’s a freckled face Scotchman, jolly and generous. He ' s hard to beat. We are very sorry that he had to stop school in mid-year, but we are confident that he is making good. Straight forward—that’s Kelvin. We say straight because that’s the way we know he will go ahead in this old world. We’re right off your starboard quarter, pushing for you, “Kalavin, me lad.” MILDRED IRLENE GIST “Micky” “The sky is my limit.” Latin Club, ' 23; Athletic Association, ' 24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24-’25- ' 26; Or¬ chestra, ’24-’25-’26; Junior Chorous, ' 25; French Club, ’26. Mildred left us in the middle of the year, alas! While here, she didn ' t do much besides get all A’s and fiddle away her time in the orchestra, but you have to admit that that’s quite a bit more than a number of us do. Calm, quiet, tall, willowy, brainy, that ' s Mildred. As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” says the old proverb, Mildred must have sowed hours of studying, for when February came around she reaped somewhere between seventeen and fifty credits.
