My mis- take-what can't she do? Kat is just an all around girl who can be depended upon to make a suc- cess of anything which she may undertake. Kat has so much fun and pep about her that we some- times feel as though it is going to be a big proposition to- get her down to real work. She loves mischief and keeps things lively when she's around. Her sparkling blue eyes reveal her vivid personality: and with- out her wit we simply coultln't get along. Witli her stuelious habits and cheerful attitude there is no reason to worry about het future. It seems there is nothing she doesn't know. A real student is found in Kat, our '31 Valedic- torian. Wk: understand that Kathryn is going to Bates College in Maine. Wfhatever you do Kathryn, we wish you the best of luck always. ASA WESLEY GRAVES, jk.

XV. as we all tall him is one of the best students in the class ot' '31. In science and mathematics he is especially bril- liant. l-le is quiet and studious, perhaps this accounts for high grades. But A. W. doesn't study all the time. 1-lc always takes part in athletics, and shows his school spirit in every way he can. lfle has done some fine work on the football team, and the H. I-1. S. team will surely miss him when football season comes a- round next year. A. W. may impress you at Hrst glance as being a very re- served boy, but on closer ac- quaintance, you will End him to be quite iully. A. W. is planning to go to the University of Virginia next year to study medicine. We feel sure that he will be a success there as he has been in H. 1-I. S. We know he will be liked there by everyone because he is a good sport and one of the best of friends. DOROTHY DAVIS IJ iligru I-Ollter run I-Talrfz lm' Activities: Latin Club, 'zs History Club, '51 Assistant Editor Taj, '31 Salutatorlan, '31 School Play, '31 Here comes Dot now. She'll answer our questions and lift the weight from our brains. Her favorite expression always lends an answer before she tells us the corrcct one when she says, Deed l'm sorry but l just know I flunked that test. But that's all nonsense. Her standing in the Senior Class is proof enough, isn't it? The Salutatorian for the Class of '31. ln dancing, playing the Ulte, and playing bridge she's hard to surpass, She reads a world of books and can converse on any subiect with unbounded limits of current wisdom, Then we must not omit her business ability, for the typing of the Taj material was no easy task. She has pres pared herself for work in the business world and we know that she will be an asset there. But back of the practical business sense Dot has air castles. She dreams ol' travel. Europe has charms that lure. She is the type that usually has her dreams fulfilled, so before long we may have a nice long letter telling about her life in Vienna. W'e'll always remember you, Dot, as a iolly lovable friend and as you leave us to enter the school of life may you, there, gain the standing and success you have won in high school.

He's not only one of the best-dressed boys in school, but also one ot' the most attrac- tive. He seems to have a certain way of his own with the girls at the S. T. C. and has broken many a fair heart. Rolland is good-natured and ac- commodating. He and his Ford have saved many a pedestrian a lung walk home. It has been the same way in his school activitiesq whenever anything happened, you may be sure that Rolland was there to help. During his two years on the Taj Staff he proved to be one of the best business managers the magazine has ever had, and he had a great deal to do with its success. Next year he is going to Mer- eersburg and we wish him much success. W ELIZABETH PATTERSON l:LETCHER Dnurr' imzl jrrarrllrrll song and sllullurul 1llirIb!

Tissie tells us shc's going to Texas this summer to stay for about a year and we certainly envy her. But guess what she wants to do--she would like to be a cigarette-girl in a cute little Spanish cafe! You know, the kind you see in the movies. It sounds romantic enough! And with those sparkling eyes of hers, those cowboys better watch out!

He is undecided as to where he is going to college, but as things look now he is going to take his Hrst year at Bridgewater College and then go to Duke. But wherever he goes we are sure that his combination of brains, ambition and hard work will win him success.
