She's rather quiet but a true-blue friend, one worth cultivating. Della’s going to Hollins next year. Gee, won’t we miss her! JOHN LEWIS BOWERS Spanish Club, ’25—’26-'27; J. L. S., ’26-'27; Program Committee, ’26-'27 “Unique’’ is the best thing to say of him. He is that in every way. He is a Jeffersonian, and one of the best. He has a great mind for speaking, which will carry him far. The last word, as a ‘‘lady-killer,’’ Louis is ‘‘it.’’ Finale! as JOHN “JACK” WADDELL BOWLES J.L.S., ’24—'25—'26-'27; Chairman Point Committee ’26-'27 “‘Not loo sober, not too gay, But a real good fellow in every way.’’ This describes ‘‘Jack’’ exactly. He is an exceptionally good student and more than holds his own in reading and debate. Jack anticipates going to Roanoke College and we are sure of his success while there, and afterward. HELEN BRICKEY Girls’ Club. ’25—'26, ’26-—'27; Corresponding Secretary G. C., ’26-'27; Sergeant at Arms, '26-—'27 One of our tall, attractive Seniors, who plays the piano marvelously. Once one knows Helen, the friendship is lasting. Randolph-Macon awaits her arrival next fall and with her fine grades and friendly ways we think success awaits her. VIRGINIA CHARA BROOKS Cra OF Virginia is another of our brilliant and attractive Seniors. She has a sweet and cheerful disposition. Virginia is inclined to be a little mischievous but anyway she makes fine grades. Whatever you do, Virginia, and wherever you gomay you always have the best of luck. 129
