GENEVA STEELE As brimfnl of mixrbirf will :uit aml glee Ar ever a human form mm br. Do you know a gray-eyed, wide-awake, and mischievous sen- ior? It is none other than Geneva Steele, better known as G . Geneva is one of the commer- cial students in our class. Al- ways laughing, always jolly, al- ways ready to do her part in anything that is undertalten-that is G , She is never too busy to help you with your shorthand or bookkeeping. Also we find G a very good typist. For is she not secretary to Miss Coff- man? Geneva has been a very good waitress in the cafeteria this year, and we will never forget her dipping our soup and filling our trays with crackers. How often she has almost saved our lives by bringing potato salad and other food from the far end of the cafeteria. The little things that people do often count a lot and Geneva certainly does her share. We can also see the serious side of her nature and learn to value her at the same time as a sincere and dependable friend. Harrisonburg High will cer- tainly miss G next year. Maybe she'll be a secretary and maybe she won't-but whatever she does and wherever she is, our best wishes shall follow her. GEORBE B. SMITH True rmrlb is in being, nal seeming. Arnvirixasz French Club, '29 l.atin Club, '30, 'Sl Do we know George? l'll say we dn. George is a real sport and is always ready to help when the time comes to do so. His good nature and personality have won him lots of friends. George has been a fine student at l-I. H. S. l-Ie is a hard worker and always tries to make a suc- cess of everything he starts. He is our star mathematician and is also a good Latin student. But Gcorge's greatest success has been his ability to charm the College girls. He has been working hard this year so as to enter V. P. l. in September. We would feel safe to recommend him to any college, because with his ambition he could accomplish anything. George, we are counting on you to rlo Your best.

That's the admirable attitude that Margaret, otherwise known as Bobby , takes. lsn't it a fine one? She always sees the bright side of everything. Bob- by is chief wise-cracker of the commercial room. She is always cheery and shows everybody that there is a sunnyside to life. Con- versation is never dull around Bobby . She always has a lot to say and it isn't all nonsense either. Bobby can be serious too. She is always ready to list- en to your troubles and help you out in time of need. Margaret has been acting as secretary to Mrs. Switzer and we hear she has done very well. She is studying quite hard to become an efficient secretary to some big executive and we are sure of her success, as she is an accurate typist and a swift writer of shorthand. We haven't learned definitely what she will do, or where she will go after graduation, but there is a rumor that Washington will be the lucky place. But whatever she does we are sure that she will have a complete life of happiness.

DANIEL YANCEY I rrm'l ln' lwl0rrml. Aerivirnzs: History Club, 'JI French Club, '30 llump, bump, burrip, here comes that Ford up the road and it is coming rather fast because it has it-n miles tn cover by eight- Efty every morning and it usu- ally gets here on time. And why? Because no other than Daniel Yancey is at the wheel. XVe all make use of his Ford in either going to or leaving school and then, too, Daniel is one of the most important members of the famous By-By Club . In order to get into this club you must be able to get permission and go down town at least three or four times a week during the fifty-minute period. And this Daniel does to perfection! Iiv- eryone will certainly miss him next year and above all certain members of the faculty because their ride won't he waiting in the afternoons. Daniel is liked by everyone in high school. His good-nature, generosity, and his school spirit have won for him many good friends. ' Xll'e hear that he is planning to go to Roanoke Business College next year. We know that where- ever he goes or whatever he does, Daniel will succeed. lj. f THELMA ELIZABETH BERRY The 1'r1',v firm-ri' of yaulbf' Acirvrrms: Senior Plays, '28, '29, '30 You know there is a saying that the best of goods comes in small packages. We certainly have found this to be true after being a classmate with this fair little blonde, Snookie . A truer friend one could not wish: a more pleasant one cannot be found, either in or out of school. She is always willing to help you in any way you desire, whether it be getting some lesson or helping to ear someonc's lunch in the period just before noon. Snookie is always full of pep and seems to enjoy life to the fullest. Wfhen we ask Snookie what she is going to do next year, she says, O, it's hard to tell. But then can wc wonder, when there is a certain party from Staunton who occupies much of her time. W'c know we are going to miss Snookie next year, but we are sure she will make a success in whatever she undertakes in life. A real friend, sincere, cheerful, and faithful-what more need one say, but we will atld one thing more. May her life be ever a happy and successful onel -hrs... RAYMOND I-I. SIMMONS True as lbz' m't'fI'lr' lo Ihr llulr Or at lln' dial lo Ibn nm. Acrlvtrliasz Latin Club, '28 Current History Club, 'JI Here is a hard-wroking lad in school as well as out, but he still seems to have a good time and enjoy life to the fullest. Raymond is always ready to play a joke, and it certainly is remarkable how he escapes all consequences. He might impress you at First sight as being a very backward boy, but on knowing him better one Ends him to be quite friendly. He always has ci smile for everyone and there seems to be something about him that you just ean't fail tu like. NVe don't know just what Ray- mond is planning for next year, but whatever it may be, we are sure it will be a success. NVe might advise him to follow some course in science as he seems to be a lover of that subject. He has not entered many sports, but nevertheless he has always been a good, strong supporter of his team. Here is a boy that will help make the name of the Harrison- burg High School stand out in the future as it has in the past.

NVhenever there is some place to go everyone calls on him for he is willing, and then he always does things well. He always seems to be in a hurry and one can guess who is coming down the hall when one hears a long quick step. He is always tidy and neat looking with l1is rosy complexion, slicked hair, and freshly pressed suit. Abic's motto in school has been all work and no play makes .lack a dull boy , but he has never harmlully shirlted his studies and has always made rather good grades. He was a member of the French Club in '30 in which he took an active interest. Abie has informed us that he is planning to go to the Uni- versity of Virginia next year and study medicine.

We do not sec her often but it is a real treat when we meet this jolly miss brimming over with fun and laughter. Your first impression of Mary is a quiet, reserved girl, but should you happen to know her well, you would be surprised how dilferent she is. Mary has an unusaul gift which we all admire. She is quite dramatic. When she recites in :lass we all listen to the simple beauty of her expressions. Some- how she makes us feel what she is saying. This is true art in itself. Mary has not decided yet what she will do but be it anything from a tlramatist to housewife it will be well done. iw 3 Be frirmlly and you will have fririnls in 1:lr'1lly. Everybody knows Herman, that quiet reserved, and curly headed boy, with a definite sense of humor. His sunny nature and good disposition have won for him numerous friends, and he is al- ways willing to help anyone to the best of his ability. Herman is one of our greatest students in Physics and if you need help in that particular study, why just go to him. Herman's favorite sport is base- ball and he proved a valuable player on the team of '29. l-le has not, as yet, decided where he is going to college, but we do know that the college which he attends will he very fortunate. In later years we feel sure that his Alma Mater will he proud of him.
