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. Off-hand, he has always had a rather cutting up nature , and we know as a doctor he will he very successful. Abic , we do hope that you make the Dean's List at col- lege. Her sunshine hair am! 1-yer of blur, Clulbu a ualnrc' pure and imc. Wllo is the blond back in Mr. Garrison's room? XVho is she that is so modest and mild? Yes, it really is Mary. 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.

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. MARGARET ANN SHIFPLETT This rvorlzl Ilia! 1L'e'r1' livin' in, Ir miglrly hard I0 br-ul Ther:-'t 11 Ilmrn fm' 1-wry ruse- But ni11'I Ihr roses sm-1-I? 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.

MARY TURNER A quirl, xrrrm' null sunny fare Ari' rrrr nurl ulrml-vs sign: uf ' grm'r. Ac1'tvt'r1rts: French Club, '30 A sunny disposition coupled with mischievous brown eyes typ- ifles Mary. She is small in sta- ture, that is true, but not in nature. Her cheery smile and commodating manner have helped us many times especially when she comes to our rescue in geom- etry. Quictutle and meditaion also belong to Mary as We see her at school. Often we don't know that she is near us, she can get around with such quiet ease, until one calls for help or until she hears that a test in English is coming. She is always anxious to know what she has to face and strengthens her belief in the mot- to, Ulle Prepared . We understand that she expects to enter college next year and in the future is going to teach in the primary grades. Her con- genial, and smiling disposition will help her to make a success in her profession. DE XVITT SI-IANK Tn be rullzrr Ibm: srrul io bv.

As may seem from the numerous activities listed above, Shank has been in sports for three years. Not only in ath- letics has Shank shown himself worthy of Commendation but he is a real friend to all who know him well. lf you happen to see a light-hearted, carefree youth swinging with a springy step along the walk on the way to school, you may be sure that it is De Vfitt-especially ifhit hap- pens to be a trifle later than 8:50 A. M. This attractive light-haired youth, we are sure, will make as much of a success in his business undertakings as he has in his high school activi- ties. As yet Shank has not decided on a university but we wish for him all the luck in the world wherever he goes! -MARY LEE DOVEL There is noihiug like bring lmlr1ry. Acnvrrits: Latin Club. '28 Current History Club, '30 Mary Lee is the girl with red hair who disproves the reputation her type has-that of a'ftery temper. For, instead of that, she possesses an unusually sweet dis- position, and in fact, she is one uf the most cheerful and most friendly girls we have ever known, She proves a true pal to all who know her. Mary Lee is a great -LH Club worker, If there are any honors offered in the club work, she is bound to win them. Mary Lee was awarded a trip to St. Louis in a State Dairy Judging Contest last fall. In l929 she also made a trip to New York and Spring- field, Mass., for being one of the most outstanding members' in Virginia. Mary Lee has not decided ex- actly what she will dn in the future but we think she would make a success either in 4-H Club work or in the scientific Iield, because she is also especially good at science. We hear all about those A KCSI papers of hers. With all these qualities she is sure to make a success in every- thing she does. 4
