LOT NO2 We have attempted, within the covers of this book, to record for all time those incidents and impressions which have endeared to us our Alma Mater; that in the years to come we might pause in the midst of the humdrum activities of life, and experience anew the joyful hopes of those happy days of our youth. If these pages reflect the spirit of the Class of 1921—its emotions, its ideals,—then the Staff will feel that the MARSHALLITE has fully accomplished its purpose.

There'll be no Mr. Givens, Nor a Miss Phillips dear, To help us through hard places And make our problems clear. There'll be no Miss Van Vort, With her ever helpful smile, Nor a Miss Henning—bless her! With her ever-changing style. There ll be no Mr. Stubbs, dear man, To see that we do right, Nor a Latin teacher like Miss Clarke, To lead us toward the light. There'll be no Mrs. Irby, With an everlasting fount That pours forth words incessantly, And makes each second count. And think of life without Miss Branch, That great big tree of knowledge, Who knows much more than all of us Will ever learn at college. A cruel world, an empty life, Without a dear Miss Wheeler, Each will come back, with this one thought, That may be he can steal her!

ABBOTT If you have tried to read some of Calvin's writing, you have experienced at least one failure in your life. But if you are a graphologist and have analyzed his character from that handwriting, you have found many commendable charac- teristics. His sincerity, loyalty, jovial disposition and smiling countenance have made for him many staunch friends. May fortune always return your smile, Calvin! Debating Society, Cadet Corps. BLIZABE LF J ANDERSON “Here's the captain of Company “A,” Who swings her Company every day, Around the corner and every way, A Company giggling, giddy, and gay.” Besides being the brave Captain of “A” Company, Elizabeth is a most lovable, companionable person, being a veritable magnet in drawing friends. She is studious, too, which accounts for her going to Randolph-Macon College next all. Corresponding Secretary of High School Club, Literary Society, Annual Staff, Athletic Association, Captain in Girls’ Service Corps. EDWARD ANCELL Edward has made a host of friends among both the faculty and students. We will all miss him, and wish him un- bounded success in whatever he may undertake. FRANKIE A. ANDERSON “With hair untortured by abomination of art.” The gods seem to be particularly fond of Frankie, since they have blessed her with an unusual suppiy of good common sense, a sympathetic disposition, merry face, fair hair, and rosy cheeks. Good luck to you, Frankie. May the gods continue to bless you! (i{ THE MARSHALLITE. 18 ELMA HOPE ASHTON Thoughtful of others, happiest when giving happiness to her friends, lovely in her character and disposition, Elma has won a choice place in the esteem of her schoolmates. Her record as a student of old J. M. H. S. speaks for itself. Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club, Senior French, Bee-Hive Society. RALPH O. ANDREWS Shake hands with Ralph, the “cow- puncher!’� He came to us from Texas only a short time ago, and, although he left the “cows” behind, he brought the “punch” to put into his career at John Marshall. Ralph's by-word, absolutely,’ together with his determined expression, makes us feel sure that he will attain eminence in any vocation of life. Patriotic Club, Spanish Society. ALLENE; ARCHER “Hath thy toil o'er books consumed the midnight oil?” A student and a friend indeed is she. A student did | say? Well, yes! She has made light the darkest paths of Vergil, and trod the stormy course of Chemistry to a glorious end. As a reward, Allene takes her sheepskin, and with it ‘21's best wishes. Girls’. High School Club, Senior French Society, Girls’ Literary Society. EDWARD ALEXANDER Gaze upon him, ladies. He is in- vincible, whole-souled and _heart-free, possessing a pleasing personality and a winning smile, he has but one fault. “Country swears by all the gods that he is immune to the sharpest darts of Cupid. It must be because he cant find a girl to suit him, for we are sure no fair senorita could resist his smiles. Cadet Corps. JAMES COLEMAN ANTHONY Jimmy is known to us by his easy and agreeable ways. His hobbies are athletics, camping, and dancing. Jimmy also “shines” in his class work, being a regular “shark” in history. If he takes as much interest in his business as he has in his school career, his success in the future is already assured. Athletic Association, Boys’ Debating So- ciety, Spanish Society, Cadet. Corps, Patri- otic Club. KINSEY BASS “If you have tears, prepare to shed them now,” for “Kinks,” one of John Marshall's favorites, is leaving us. We have cherished her during her short stay at school, and now that she has so suc- cessfully completed what she undertook with her “do or die” spirit, we send her away with highest expectations for her future ; ROBERT S. ARMSTRONG It is almost unnecessary to introduce you to Robert. They say he is quite a “shark” in physics and chemistry, but his feminine friends are by no. means limited to Ethyl-Bromid and Ana-line. Despite the fact that he has a bad habit of arriving at nine o'clock in the morning, we forgive him, and wish him all the luck possible. EDITH BABER? Edith is very necessary to the crew that mans the Ship of 1921. “Small but loud” expresses her. Although she is small, she makes her presence known by her never-ceasing tongue. Her talkative- ness mingled with her good humor has made her a favorite. Here's wishing the best of luck to the “Baby” of our class! THE MARSHALLITE. 20 ERNESTINE BABER “Teeny” is what we call her, But “Smiles” is a better name, For it matters not where we see her, Her smile is always the same. She is one who never worries, But always makes the mark, Just as we hope she will do, When from us she departs. JOHN ROBERTSON BARKSDALE If silence signified wisdom, John would surely be a second Solomon, for he seldom talks. But when he does, it is worth while to listen, for he is ready with infor- mation, regardless of the subject. The best o'luck to you, John, and may the world have the same good faith in you that your class-mates have. Treasurer Senior French Socie ty, Boys’ Debating Society, Athletic Association, Cadet Corps. Me LUGIEE ER BEAKE Who is she? Why, don’t you know? She’s the “Puzzle Girl.” Every day this fair maiden comes to. school prepared to ‘spring’ a new puzzle or riddle on us. May she go through life joyously sur- prising others as she has us: Spanish Society. EMILY V. BRADSHAW Strayed—From the vicinity of John Marshall, January 1921, our dear com- panion, Emily. We strongly suspect a certain Richmond University student of knowing her whereabouts. Anyone re- ceiving definite information please com- municate with her large circle of friends. Athletic Association, Girls’ Literary So- ciety. THE MARSHALLITE. MARY ELIZABETH BASS We are all fond of this happy little girl. Her smiling countenance and cheery ways brighten us always. Mary is a diligent student, and enjoys all her studies, es- pecially mathematics. She is quite a poetess. Have you read her verses? After you leave old John Marshall may you go over the top” in whatever you may undertake. JOHN A. BLAND First as a good worker, first as a good sport, and first in the hearts of his class- mates, especially in those of the fair sex, stands John, known for his fun and music- making. May he lead a long and happy life! Corporal Cadet Corps, Patriotic Club, Spanish Society, Athletic Association. MARY BENNETT “Children should be seen and not heard.” Mary certainly lived up to this at John Marshall, for she could always be seen, but seldom heard. However, she has deceived us, as this is not true when she is away from school. Mary is a friend who can be depended upon at all times. Athletic Association. Pal ie BORING Here she comes, there she goes.” Ethel seems always to be in a hurry— hence her motto, Better late than never.” Independence, ambition, idealism, and determination, plus a charming per- sonality is Ethel. She is particularly fond of music, dancing, and books. Although an industrious little girl, she is never too busy to smile and pass a pleasant word. Good luck and a most successful future, Ethel! Senior French Society. 21 THE MARSHALLITE. 22 JESSIE BINFORD ’ Jessie is a girl of the “truest blue,” with sterling character, yet possessing just enough foolishness and light-heartedness to make her an ideal pal. Girls’ High School Club, Athletic As- soctation. JOLIN UES BRA Ya Re Oh yes! Jack is that tall blond. Really, it is net his fault that he is so popular with the ladies. With that athletic figure topped by such a mop of hair, and a knack for dancing, what more could you expect? Jack's popularity does not lie entirely with the opposite sex, however, for he is one of the most popular fellows in school. Boys’ Debating Club, W. H. A. T. Club, Patriotic Club, Athletic Association, Man- ager Basket Ball ‘21. DORISyV BUTLER Doris is a most versatile creature, having both the power of translating Vergi! and of imitating Pavlowa. Both of these traits combined give her a most remarkable personality. She is always full of fun, and never fails to make her- self heard when she is around. We hate to lose you, Doris, but we hope that good luck will always be with you. Girls’ Literary Society, Athletic As- sociation. M. MAXINE BENDHEIM A smart-looking girl with captivating brown eyes is Maxine. When we add to these charms, grace in the art of dancing, the result is all that could be desired. She's a good sport, a good old pal, and a fine student. Much success we wish to you, Maxine! Recorpb Staff, Athletic Association. HAZEL BOHANNON Who does not know that blue-eyed, resy-cheeked, brown-haired girl called Hazel. If not, get busy and meet her, for it is indeed a pleasure. She always has a sweet smile for every-one, making brighter the paths of those with whom she associates. Good luck to you, Hazel! May that smile always brighten your future. Athletic Association, Patriotic Club. REX BLANKENSHIP To see him is to know him, and to know him is to love him. Both boys and girls are taken like this, for is he not the most gentle, captivating, quiet boy you ever met? Rex sings wonderfully. plays football, and has many other accomplish- ments. 1st Lieutenant Cadet Corps, Manager Baseball Team, Football Team, Track Team, Patriotic Club, Boys Debating Club, Recorp Staff, W, H. A. T. Club, J.M.H.S. Quartette, Athletic Association. ALICEVY. BARKSDALE The Magi tell us that red hair denotes impetuosity, but after knowing Alice we decided that it also denotes a cheerful disposition. She is an artist, an expert swimmer and dancer, but above all, the future Sarah Bernhardt or “Sis Hopkins.”’ Judging from “Gooberry’s” success as the hired lady in “Professor Pepp we expect great things of her. ANNUAL Staff, Pep Club, Athletic As- sociation, Senior French Society, Véice- President Patriotic Society, Vice-President Girls’ Literary Society. VIRGINIA BEAZLEY Virginia Beazley! Nuf ced!” Who doesn t know this “ petite cherie’’ with the winning smile? Virginia has a soul for music, and her dancing is a dream. In whatever direction her ship is turned, we predict smooth sailing. MARSHALLITE. LUCILE MARSHALL BUTLER Upon Lucile the gods bestowed one of their choicest gifts—a rare and charming personality; and to it they added un- bounded enthusiasm and the ability to “put things through.” We usually have to let what’s on the inside of our heads console us for what's on the outside, but Lucile has the rare combination of brains and good looks. Reporter of G. H. S. C., Literary Society, Pep Club, Athletic Association. PRED BEANK What Marshallite has not noticed that brilliant spot of auburn about the school? “Linoleum” worked his way up in the cadet corps to the position of Lieutenant, and just as he has succeeded in that, so will he succeed in the business world. Lieutenant Cadet Corps, Athletic As- sociation. BLEA MAY BURTON “It was only a glad good-morning, As she passed along the way, But it spread the morning glory Over the live-long day.” May's ever-readiness to lend a helping hand where ever she can has won for her .many friends. As she leaves John Mar- shall, may all the favors she has granted be returned to her in “good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and run- ning over.” Girls’ Literary Society, Girls’ High School Club. GCIINTON aS AINIDNG As Yed Ray told Harry Vardon, it takes a good man to make the golf course (iy GAO), ‘Hoky”™ has shown that he is a good man by making the Hermitage course in “°76 (7?) and the John Marshall course in four years. Seriously now, girls and boys, he is the kind of fellow you want for a friend. JENNIE VENABLE BARKSDALE Joking always, Even at school— “Never be serious” Now is her rule— In all situations, Easy and cool. Such is Jennie, J. M’s own “joker.” That dazzling smile shows she appreciates a good joke. We will surely miss you, Jennie, but we hope you will always be able to laugh misfortune away, and by that laugh, draw Good Fortune to you. Patriotic Club, Athletic Association, Spanish Society. JAMES P. BAKER James completes a remarkable career at John Marshall. He has been very proficient in his studies and he has also been a favorite with all who know him. He has weaknesses (?) such as physics, French, and girls. Despite this fact, success is surely his, because he hails from the country, as do most great men. Vice-President Senior French Society, Boys’ Debating Club, Patriotic Club, Athletic Association. LUCILLE BRAGG Permit me, gentle reader, to introduce Lucille, the “Bragg” of our school. Lucille comes to us from Washington—a capital girl from a capital city. These few words are inadequate to express Lucille’s charm and winsomeness. Nay, whole volumes would not express it. Good luck to you, Lucille, on life’s journey, and may you be the truest arrow in Cupid's sheaf. Athletic Association, G. H. S. C. HARRY RAYMOND BRANDON Lost—in the universe, Captain Harry Brandon, one whose kindness and_ per- sonality have won for him scores of friends. No reward is offered, for Harry has successfully completed his career here, not only by attaining the rank of Captain but also by having his name on the Honor Roll. May success be his in the future! Captain Cadet Corps, W. H. A. T. Club, Athletic Association. THE MARSHALLITE. 20 THE MARSHALLITE. ALMA BRYANT Here's to a girl that’s full of glee, Who's always welcome wherever She may be. And full of smiles and laughter, too, Is this little girl with a heart of true blue. JAMES BARTOL All who know “General James” agree that he is one of the best sports and the worst sergeant in our class. His perpetual grin, however, makes up for his deficiency, and we will always be glad to meet with him anytime, anywhere. One with such an amiable disposition as Jimmy's is sure to win many friends. Athletic Association, W. H. A. T. Club, Sergeant Cadet Corps, Spanish Society. RUTH BRERETON Of course you know Ruth! Who doesn't? Why, she is a burst of happi- ness out of a dark cloud. Hlere’s wishing her a world of success in all her under- takings. Athletic Association, Patriotic Society, Spanish Society. GEORGE WALKER BOLTON As a mechanical drawing student we might say Walker is a “first classer.” Not only in this does Walker “shine” but in all his studies—perhaps in some other direction, too. Suppose you ask the little girl in the West End. ° Here's luck to you, Walker, in anything you may undertake. THE MARSHALLITE. KATHLEEN BLACK “Kitty” is a wonderful pal. Her sunny disposition and ready answer to the call of duty are her two chief charac- teristics. Never become “‘Kitty’s’’ op- ponent, because she always wins in an argument. She knows quite a bit of Spanish too. (Ask Mr. Parisi!) Here's to you, Kitty. May you have lots of fun and a useful life. Spanish Society. SOLOMON COHEN “Sol” is a fellow of good nature and the possessor of an equal quantity of fun and studiousness. He belongs to that class of ambitious boys who always succeed in whatever they undertake. “Sol” wants to be an engineer. Well, here's wishing him luck! Cadet Corps. DOROTHY GRACE COTTRELL “Still waters run deep.’ Such is the case with our modest, gentle little friend, Dorothy Cottrell. She is one who is loved by all, and those who haven't had the opportunity of knowing her have indeed been unfortunate. As she has accomplished great things at John Mar- shall, we anticipate still greater things for her in the future. SARAH CHAFFIN Unusual.” That's the very word, for it fits Sarah like a glove. Her sunny smile and merry ways have won for her popu- larity among the student body, while with the faculty her ability is well known. May the brightest days of the past be the darkest of her future. THE MARSHALLITE. RUTH COE “Wer actions are modest and _ her words discreet. Ruth is that dark-haired, grey-eyed girl you see walking down the hall with bowed head, as if in deep thought. But when she raises her head, there's always a genuine smile to greet. you. J. M. H. S. will certainly lose a pal when Ruth leaves us. ALLEN CLEATON He has been weighed in the balance and not found wanting, but no scale is great enough to measure his true worth.

JOHN C. CRIGHTON, JR. John is one of these bashful-looking boys, but appearances are deceiving. Sometimes you'd be surprised! Along with other good qualities he is very studious, but if there is any fun around, you may as well look for John’s auburn locks, for he is sure to be there. Here's luck, John, and plenty of it! THE MARSHALLITE. JEAN FRANCES CRAIG “Miss Reliable” is her name: In English class great is her fame. she wants to go and increase her knowledge At dear old Randolph-Macon College. Kindest wishes with her we will send, For best of all, she’s a staunch true friend. Girls’ Literary Society, Senior French Society. Girls’ High School Club, Athletic Association, Assistant Adjutant Girls’ Service Corps. WALTER C. CRENSHAW, JR. “Crensh” is one of the well-known members of our class, indeed one of our brightest stars (?). Not only does he excel in football, but also in the well-known art of “Cranium” (Solid Geometry). He is good-natured, humorous, and popular with both students and teachers. Here's to your success, ‘Crensh,”” old boy! President Athletic Association, Assistant Business Manager ANNUAL, Lieutenant Cadet Corps, Football Squad, W. H. A. T. Club. ANN FERRELL CHENERY Two years ago we stole from Ashland a maiden by the name of Ann. Ashland was as loath to lose her as we were glad to gain her. Attractiveness is Ann's middle name. All through her two years she has made a host of friends who hate to see her leave. Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club, Junior French Society. HENRIETTA CATES Gentle reader, you are now gazing upon one of the fairest members of the Senior class. She has broken all records, national and universal, when it comes to talking. She always has something to tell, for it isn't worth while if it slips by “Retta.”’ When she leaves us, it will be our loss and the world’s gain. Pep Club, Athletic Association. 29 THE MARSHALLITE. JOHN BATTE CROWDER You light your torch in the sunset ; You flash it from star to star; You float through the moonlit spaces To the ball of earth shining a-far. You drink in the infinite wonders Of heaven, of ocean, of men; You pour out your soul in music; You die but to live again. ELISE BRYANT CARDOZO NB Oye es” “Jest and youthful jollity.” These and many other qualities charac- teristic of a twentieth century girl ac- companied Elise when she came to John Marshall four years ago.

Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club. WILLIAM GEROW CHRISTIAN William is from the country. You can see that at the first glance. This ac- counts for the ruddy bloom upon his cheeks that all the girls envy. Whenever keen wit or good judgment is needed, William can be relied upon to supply it. pee wishing “Farmer Bill” good luck! Athletic Association. MARGARET DAVIDSON “Such joy it is to hear her sing. We fall in love with everything.” This winsome blonde is one of our talented vocalists, possessing not only a voice of rare sweetness and expression, but also a charming and lovable dis- position. She is a friend to every one and is always ready for a good time. May success be hers! French Society, Patriotic Club, Athletic Association. THE MARSHALLITE. CLIFFORD S. DOWDY, JR. If all the world loves a lover, then we need have no fear for the future of this handsome individual. ‘Cliff’ is one of our most popular students, having a charming personality; and being a won- derful dancer, he’s a perfect specimen of “he vamp,” although he keeps his own heart intact, except in one case. Athletic Association, Patriotic Society, Spanish Society, Junior French Society. EVELYN DAVIDSON Hers is the generous heart that borrows From others’ joys a friendly glow, And for each hapless school mate's sor- rows Throbs with a sympathetic woe. Girls’ High School Club, Girls’ Literary Society, Athletic Association. WILLIAM FENSENFELD DANIEL Have you ever seen a tall. blue-eyed boy in the halls? That's “Bill.” He has a bewitching smile that you can't help but notice. When there is fun on hand. “Bill” is “Johnny on the spot.” He is an all-round sport, and we wish him suc- cess in all of his future undertakings. Cadet Corps, Athletic Association. CLAUDIA DUGGINS Dimples, blue eyes, smiles, “n'every- thing” gathered in a bunch and labeled “Sweetness ''—this is Claudia. Her heart is in the right place, although she is constantly having “‘crushes.” She's a fine pal, and we wish her success in life, THEE MARSHALLITE. 7 JOHN FRANKLIN DEW All hail John, king of public speakers and toast givers! John becomes so enthusiastic over some subjects that often he speaks for an hour on one of them. He is known by everyone, and we all wish him the greatest success as a future William Jennings Bryan. Athletic Association, Boys Debating Club, Patriotic Society. GENEVIBVEADUKE “Genevieve, Sweet Genevieve... a Genevieve might well have proven the inspiration for that song. for with her infallible sincerity and lovable unselfish- ness there is that indefinable something which we call sweetness. She is a living proof that one may be both attractive and studious. FRANK DRINKARD Well, look who's here! Frank has never been known to be in a hurry in his life. Watch him any day as he strolls down the hall, and you will think he has an hour in which to get to his next class. We all wish him the best of success in after years. ANNE DUNFORD “True to herself, True to her friends, True to her duty always. Anne is a sweet, quiet, steady girl, just the kind you can depend on. The longer you know Anne, the better you like her, and the more you appreciate her real worth. Her modest demeanor has won the hearts of a great many at John Marshall. Spanish Society, Athletic Association, i if THE MARSHALLITE. PERCY B. DRAKE This fine fellow hails from North Carolina, and if they have any more like him, we would like to have them with us. With his cheery smiles and hearty hand- shakes, Perey has made many friends, who all wish him the greatest possible success in the future. Cadet Corps, Athletic Association. ANNA MAE DAWSON She's from North Carolina State, But no matter whence she came We ll keep her here, so never fear; She's all right just the same. We all know Mae.

Athletic Association, Patriotic Society. ALICE CECILE BHRSTEIN As it is the little things in life that count, look out for Alice. ,Oh my! how she can talk! And she has wit in abundance.

May her future life be very bright and successful. Junior French Society, Spanish Society, Athletic Association. SHALLITE. a Ls ee MiES “Oh-h, Ruth!’—and in response there is a glorious burst of sunshine. Despite the fact that it was never necessary for her to consume the midnight oil, she has made an excellent record. Because of her charming personality, her Paderewski at- tainments and her Terpsichorean ability, she has attained the height of popularity. You've won J. M.'s heart completely, Ruth. Athletic Association, French Society. A AUGE EWING Wj Re “Handsome is as handsome does” Hugh is both. He is an all-round athiete and military from head to foot. His playing was of great value to the 1920 track and football teams, and also to the “21° basketball and track teams. Those fortunate mortals to whom Hugh has revealed his real self have learned to value his friendship. 1st Sergeant Cadet Corps, Athletic As- sociation, Football team °20, Baskethall team ‘21, Track team ‘20-21, Boys De- bating Society. VIRGINIA BRETT ELAM A demure (?) girl with a record of fine scholarship is Virginia. Because she is a good sport and a good pal, she has the knack of making friends, and a good one she makes. She has dimples, too, which “Somebody” thinks adorable. We wish you success, of course. Associate Editor of ANNUAL, Athletic Association, Secretary of Beehive’ Club, Girls’ High School Club, Girls’ Literary Society. LOIS wENOS A violet by a mossy stone, Half hidden from the eyes; Fair as a star when only one Is shining in the skies.” This maid so rare comes to us from Church Hill. With her wit and keen sense of humor she has won the hearts of many—especially of the opposite sex. Girls’ Literary Society, Athletic As- sociation, TH KE MARSHALLUITE. HENRY M. EUBANK Henry is a good natured fellow. Although he doesn’t have much to do with the girls, he has a good many friends among the boys. He has never been seen sad. Every one has a different nickname for him. Goodbye, Henry. We wish you the best of luck through life. Cadet Corps. MARY EISEN Mary is just one huge smile, and I guess that’s one reason why we all like her. She is quite studious when she wants to be, but is always ready for any kind of fun.

He is unusually quiet and reveals no great military ability, but ask any ‘A’ Company man. He knows. It should also be remembered that, “Still waters run deep.” Sergeant Cadet Corps, Athletic Associa- tion. ELIZABETH A. MERRITT She is a girl who can bake the best cake you want to eat, who can enter into the spirit of a good time, entertain her numerous admirers, and yet find time to uphold our academic reputation. All that and more is Elizabeth. Is it any wonder we are proud of her? FIBNRY fA SMAURICE® }Re Stranger— Who is that bunch of activity that rounds the halls at 60 per., shouts a “hello” to everyone, and while munching his crusts, knocks out a home run in the stocking-ball game?” Old Marshallite— Oh! he is one of the notables of the Senior Class, Henry Maurice.” Athletic Association. RUTH HALE McCONNELL When you see a little girl with bobbed black hair, dark brown eyes that twinkle, and a smiling countenance you may know it is Ruth.

He is one of those unusual boys who is never seen talking to a girl. But if he does “fall,” he will fall hard. We believe Blake will make a great success in the business world, and we wish him the best of luck. DORIS KAUFMAN MILTZ ‘Speech is silver, but silence is gold.” So it is with Doris. She doesn't say very much, but what she does say is well worth attention. No matter how difficult the task may be, Doris always comes out successfully. Here's to you, Doris! ROBERT McCARROLL “Bob,” or “Mac,” hails from Barton Heights. Such a good all-round fellow you seldom see. His open-hearted ways have won him a legion of friends. Mac is also one of our best students; no subject has terrors for him. He is also a loyal! cadet, having been a member of ©’ A’ Com- pany for four years. Here's the best o'luck to you, “Bob!” Secretary Athletic Association, Cadet Corps, Treasurer Senior Class, Boys’ De- bating Society, REcorD Staff. MARIAN LUCILLE MINER Lucille has shown the school the real meaning of a good student. Her courtesy and kindness have won the love and friendship of all. Her pleasant countenance and untiring efforts to help others will be greatly missed when she leaves John Marshall. We feel certain Lucille will achieve great success in life. O1 THE MARSHALLITE. THOMAS A. McNICKLE Here's a boy with a happy face, A well built fellow with manly grace, A sunny smile and a friendly air, Hazel eyes and a shock of hair: Capable, willing and ready to do.

French Society, Athletic Association. MORRIS E. MILNER We immediately visualize a tall, square- shouldered, impressive young man in a spick-and-span cadet uniform; one who is universally liked and noted for his all- round good fellowship: one whose forensic brilliancy has been noted on_ several occasions and whose high ideals will guide him through the future. Morris, continue the good work, and success is assured you. Cadet Corps, Debating Club, Athletic Association. VIRGINIA MERRYMAN Any way you take her, You will find as I have found There is nothing in her lacking, She is true, and safe, and sound.

The gods smiled upon her when they endowed her with those big blue eyes (which you just can’t resist) and that lovable disposition.

Although small in size, she is not easily overlooked, for she is always among the crowd, and is the brightest and merriest of them all. Athletic Association. NORVELL W. PAGE Norvell’s versatility would make George Cohan look like a man of few accomplish- ments. He can “jazz” a violin, write poetry, get on the honor roll, sketch chorus girls, and make love “according to Hoyle.” He's a first-rate friend, too. His wit and pleasing manner make friends, while his sincerty and dependability hold them. The best of success, Norvell, old man! EMMA PATTERSON True to herself, True to her friends, True to her duty always.” Whom have we here?’ To be sure, we all know her—another Latin “‘shark’’ and one who is ever ready to help us ignorant “Latiners.’ We dread the time when she must leave us, but we wish her joy and great success. Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club, Literary Society, Patriotic Society. THE MARSHALLIETE. ANNIE LIND PORTER Annie Lind is an all-round genius, such as you seldom see.

Ss. PATTERSON “Sure, and it’s a great life, if you don't weaken,’ says Pat. But he does weaken when it comes to the fair sex.

Good Luck, “Bobby!” Athletic Association. GRACE AAR PUCKE iD Has anybody here seen Grace? Oh, yes, you would know her all right. Once you have looked into those twinkling blue eyes, there is no way of forgetting her. Grace is a mighty good friend, too, if you ever need one.

POMFREY Earl has at last completed his course at John Marshall, much to the surprise of his friends and admirers who had begun to think that he was going to make Eighth and Marshall his permanent home. However, “All's well that ends well,” and it is with regret that the teachers and pupils bid him good-bye. Athletic Association. BER TAUMARIE}PIERGE When we look back to the 1921 class, we will always think of one particular person whose cheerful personality has attracted many Marshallite friends.

Girls’ High School Club, Athletic Associa- lion. MARTHA PLEASANTS “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Martha belongs to the long line of good Samaritans. Calmness, dignity, and re- serve are some of her best characteristics. During her four years at John Marshall she has made many friends among both faculty and students. We wish you all kinds of good luck, Martha. MARGUERITE A.

It would take a column to do him justice, though he is not the author of the © Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.’ Here's to you, Stewart, an agreeable companion, a true friend, a par excellent student, and one who takes an active part in all school activities. We all wish you success in whatever vocation you may pursue. Boys Debating Society, Patriotic Club, W. H. A. T. Club, Cadet Corps, Athletic Association. PAT TESPACE Hattie is a very talkative young lady, this characteristic adding very much to her attractiveness. In fact, a young man going to see her does not have a chance in the conversation. “A constant worry to the teachers and a true friend to the pupils” is our candid opinion of Hattie. ROTH RE CHIE It is Illinois that we must thank for sending us this delightful mixture of charm and genius. As an interpreter of “deep” classical literature no Marshallite born and bred can surpass her. Yet in spite of her wisdom Ruth is one of the most lovable of girls and the sincerest of friends, possessing an irresistible charm which draws like magic. Here's wishing Ruth the greatest of success and happiness in her literary career. Girls’ Literary Society, Girls’ High School Club, REcorD Staff. THE MARSHALLITE.

His good work on both the Rrcorp and ANNUAL Staff shows that he has ability and doesn't mind working. We wish him success in business. MARION VIRGINIA REYNOLDS Marion is a true reflection of the south- ern type of girl, possessing a most pleasing personality. She is a good sport, always ready for fun, and a firm believer in smiling her way through. Here's hoping her pathway through life will be strewn with miles and miles of smiles. Athletic Association. NAOMI GLYNTON RUSSELL It is hard to write about such a character in so short a space. We hardly know whether to class her as a modern American poet or a French Mademoiselle. Naomi claims not to study her lessons, but when reports come around she surprises us all with her nineties. She is a jolly friend to everyone. i Senior French Society, Spanish Society. : ©, 69 THE MARSHALLITE. MARIE CECELIA ROONEY Sincerity is one of Marie’s most dis- tinguishing traits.

MARY ROWZIE A charming maiden, dark and tall, With a cheery word and smile for all. A bright smile and a sunny disposition have brought Mary safely thru John Marshall. She is sometimes rather re- served, but once you get beneath the surface, you discover a heart of pure gold. Mary’s favorite hobby is talking effectively, but not to an audience of more than one. Athletic Association. WILLIAM HENRY RIBBLE This is “Billy.” Who would ever have thought four years ago that he would shine forth as a senior in such a short time? He has a voice that makes the nightingale blush with shame. Bill's poetry excels that of Poe, and no wonder Meese Castle died when he heard of ill. W. H. A. T. Club, Athletic Association LEWISE ROBERTSON Lewise completely upsets the age-old theory that the little pass unnoticed, because she is one of the smallest girls in the school, and we can safely say one of the most popular. It is useless for us to wish you success, Lewise, for no other course is possible for one who possesses a personality as winning as yours. J. RANDOLPH RUFFIN The owner of the above cognomen is better known as “Ran” through the halls of John Marshall. Not only has he proved a good friend, but also a faithful worker, especially as quartermaster in the Military Department. As for the ladies— they are one of his specialties. We predict a great future for him. Quartermaster Cadet Corps, Athletic As- sociation.

MARTHA RHODES Despite the fact that Martha hails from Georgia, she is ‘“some”’ scholar. She has been with us only two years, yet she is known everywhere because of her winning personality.

HAROLD FLEMING SNEAD “Nicky” is one of the busiest boys that ever promenaded our corridors. ‘This is due to his loyal interest in all that goes on, Harold is exceedingly witty, and at times is even comical. He makes friends by the score; it’s impossible for him to do otherwise. He managed the REcorRD with great success; may his career be even more successful.

LEWISE SHEPHERD This charming and popular young lady needs no introduction to Marshallites. Her school spirit, ready humor, and good- will have made her one of the most attractive and lovable pupils. “Socks” is athletically inclined, and dances and swims with equal grace. Press onward, “Shep!” Pep Club, Athletic Association. JOSEPH L. SHOEMAKER High in military, high in his studies, and high in the minds of his fellow classmates, is Captain Shoemaker—more familiarly known as “Joe.” He is of a quiet disposition, but when he speaks it is well to listen, for he generally says something worth hearing. Joe's ability has won for him the admiration and esteem of his fellow Marshallites, and we all wish him great success in the future. Captain Cadet Corps, Athletic Associa- tion. THOMAS SPESSARD “Tom” is a well known Marshallite, who hails from Southwest Va. His quick wit and habitual good nature have made him a favorite with all. Although he loves a good time, he is an earnest student. We may expect great things of him in his college career.

Girls’ Literary Society, High School Club, Athletic Association. W. VIVIAN SMETHIE Behold! a noted student? Lieutenant of cadets, and a great attraction at the hops. Everybody likes him and hates to see him go. As that time draws near, we even forgive him for appearing so des- perately bored in English class that he had to take refuge in sleep. We wish him the best o luck for the future. PEARD SPIIZER Here's to the cleverest of them all! May her literary talents become evident to others besides Marshallites. Pearl is known to the Senior Class as a very exceptional student. Her fondest dream is that one day she may be at the head of the Romance Language Department of her Alma Mater. I forgot. Pearl does not like to talk much! “Literary Corner’ of Recorp Staff, Associate Editor of ANNUAL.

High School Club, Literary Society, Pep Club, Athletic Association, Reporter of Senior Class, RECorD Staff, ANNUAL Staff. Lieutenant G. S. C. HOWARD N. SMYTH “Happy ” Howard's introduction to John Marshall was very unobtrusive, but not so his departure. His four years of work in John Marshall have been filled with many stirring incidents. Howard's great work in physics is the outstanding feature of his school Jife. The law of conservation of energy never worries him. Great success to you, “Happy.” Athletic Association. MIEPDREDIMVIin ST OL RZ “Milly” is the little dark-haired maiden whom we see wandering about the halls, looking for someone with whom to talk. Thats her hobby: She can out-talk William Jennings Bryan and still have breath. When it comes to the terpsichorean art, she is in a class all by herself. She is loved by us all, and we predict great things for her. Pep Club, Athletic Association, ANNUAL Staff. GODFREY SHAFTO Everybody remembers that little “Mother Goose” rhyme about “Little Bobby Shafto.” Well, this is “Bobby,” the second—at least to several of his teachers. A trip around the world is a fine thing, and we congratulate him on his opportu- nity with the Marines. Good luck, “Bobby, wherever you go! STUART SELDEN Stuart would be a fine student if he would only forget about his hobby, printing. We hear that he has a very progressive printing business. We _ ex- tend no wish that would be more ap- preciated than to wish him success in his career. BEATRICE SMITHER Who is that rosy-cheeked, brown-eyed girl always running down the hall with not a moment to lose? That's Bee! Always ready to help no matter how busy she is, we find her a true, sincere friend. Here's to our studious but fun- loving Marshallite. May she never forget “la belle langue’’ even when her fingers are tripping over the keys of a “Royal!” Second Vice-President of Patriotic Club. CADE Gra LOCK TON Claude has a kind disposition, but only those who sit near him in his classes know it, for he hides it with a frown. His ability does not show up in the class room because he is too modest. Here’s to the day that the world will know him at his true worth! MARTHA HULL SINGLETON This demure little girl reminds us of a quaint little Puritan maid. Only her nearest friends know of her many virtues aad her sweet disposition. Modesty, un- selfishness, kindness, and devotion to her friends are a few of her best traits. Success will surely be yours, Martha, if you make friends in the future as you have at John Marshall. Athletic Association. JESSIE ELIZABETH SMITH Smiths, Smiths, and yet another Smith. This is Jessie—a friend, indeed, when one’s in need.

What a world of memories their music to us tells Of days when first we heard them ringing out so clear, And hastened to their summons with a strange foreboding fear! Hear the lusty tardy bell, how it rings! Sounds of shuffling, hurrying feet now it brings, Echoes loud of slamming doors in the halls, Memories of tardy ones and roll calls. Now the class room bells ring out, loud and strong: Every hour with merry voice pealing out their song, Bringing back the hurrying throngs in the halls— Echoes of the merry laughs and the calls. But now rings out the recess bell; see the throng To the lunch room borne along, Rushing, hurrying, cheering as the winds Rushing from Aeolus cave before a storm begins. Then the silvery class room bells start again, And sing to us their memories and refrain, Oh, ring them: let them chime out loud and clear! We may not hear them more for many a year! For others will be guided by these bells, And to each their sweet message they will tell; And some day they will gladly like us sing, ‘Ring out your memories, merry school bells, ring!’ THE MARSHALLITE. GIEAS Sp SOR How can we realize that we have finished, that the dream which we had when we first entered Old John Marshall as ‘Rats’ has really come true! Four long years have we struggled, but at last we have our reward—our diplomas. Did I say we entered John Marshall? Ah! if it had only been, but sad to tell it was the Annex, the home of all “Rats,” where the rain dripped in bucket- fuls, where, when the pipes froze and burst, the stoves roasted our faces while our backs shook with cold. But even with these hardships of roasting and freezing, in turn, the stoves proved a pleasing diversion, for not even Miss Clark could keep us from gazing at the firemen. Will we ever forget that winter in the Annex, or the summer either for that matter? A-23 was hot enough then to have heated the whole school a hundred times; and just as you would begin to nod, dreaming of the cool, even if you could not feel it, Miss Dickerson would invariably call upon you to write the next example on the board. Cruel wasn’t the name for it! To have to go to the board for a big round zero as soon as you were beginning to feel comfortable in a seething furnace! But for all this it was here the girls of our class first learned to vote. In the spring we organized our class under the leadership of Mr. Deierhoi, and officers were duly elected, with only a little less noise and confusion than our auction sale. Thus we passed our first year in the Annex. Leaving “Ratdom,” we finally as Sophomores reached John Marshall proper. Here our ranks, never small, were greatly increased by new friends from the Junior Highs. Our combined force helped to make life merry (?) for the much despised rats. During this year the surprise of our lives occurred. School was closed for a month, and we had no exams. Think of not having to fight the Helvetians or to plead for Antonio on an examination! It was heaven indeed! But those relentless teachers! How they made up for it in our Junior year! Our faces lost their carefree look, and it was with a “do or die” expression that we started this term. And “do” we did! Where have you ever seen better minstrels than we had on our “Junior Stunt Night,” or a better end man than old Bill Ribble, or will we ever forget ““Fezzywig?” He was right there, and was just as good an actor as the rest of them. Sad to tell, many of these old pals left us, and in our Senior year we find our ranks greatly reduced but still not small, by any means. More, however, were doomed to fail before—Oh joy!—we should get our long looked for diplomas. Some few may have skimmed through their first three years, but who could get through English eight under Miss Van Vort’s watchful eye, without “cracking”’ 88 TH KE MARSHALLITE. a book! Or who could bore through the cones and planes of “Solid” without some falling by the wayside? Life was not all failures though! Look at the famous orator that we produced. Think of the eulogy John Franklin Dew de- livered Christmas in honor of Santa Claus. Demosthenes himself could not have spoken with greater eloquence. Then came our Senior party and our all-day picnic. Will we ever forget the good times we had in all of our frolics? But horrors! Exams were almost here again, and even Bill Taylor and Evelyn Davidson put on “ specs,’ and labored long and earnestly. All joy faded, and how we wished we had listened to those fatal warnings of our teachers; but alas! it was too late. The exams were handed OER Then came days of anxious waiting until that fateful Saturday when we found that some way or another we had passed and that we were free to leave at last. But—did we want to leave? The elation we felt died down, and a look almost of sadness crept over our faces as we went out of John Marshall for the last time as pupils. What grand old times we've had in the last four years! Each one of us, recalling them, will resolve that wherever he may be, or whatever he may become, he will always cherish the dear old days at John Marshall. 89 THE MARSHALLITE. FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY It was during my summer's stay in the mountains of Virginia that I had occasion to render some little service to an old negro “aunty,” who, through ap- preciation of my ministrations to her ““rheumatiz’’ and other ‘ails,’ both real and imagined, by one so old, offered to tell my fortune, which led up to the information that she really was a “ voodoo ‘oman”’ and had been quite successful in her time in the practice of her art as a conjurer.” After listening attentively to tales of her skill, which proved to my mind that she really could predict, or prophesy, the future, | asked her if she would mind practising her art for the benefit of the class ee wh And now if you will bear with me, I will make an humble effort to let you hear of your respective futures through this quaint old darky character, the language of whom none are able to understand quite so well as the native Virginian. After going into a trance—vacant stare, groping motions, and all that is common to the type—she soon began to “‘see things.’ “Honey, ah heahs heaps ob peoples talkin’ fo’ deah life, ‘bout a big musicky comicky dey is gwine hab at one ob de New Yawk theaters, sayin’ as how Mistah Stuart Trevvett, dat singin’ man fum Virginny, an’ he cumpny uv play actors is gwine be de sensation ob de yeah, in “Harmony Ship.” Ah sees Missy Doris Butler, dancin’ aroun’ lak a little fairy, and now heah cum along dat Mistah Rawley Law, sorto’ loafin’ lak an’ keepin’ hisself busy lisinin’ to he fren, de cap’n ob ‘Harmony Ship,” sing de res’ ob de crew into prom’nence. while Mistah Henry Patterson, does hissef proud as de leader ob de auchestry, an’ dar is Mistah E.

PROBHEG@ ye @O Reait Eas Nba alin AS The tired caravan plodded wearily over the hot sands towards an oasis not very far ahead. The tropical sun pouring down unmercifully made my eyes blink painfully at the blinding lights reflected on the sand dunes. As soon as we reached the oasis, I did not wait to watch the unpacking of the camels, but stretched myself comfortably under a large tree a short distance away. It was then I realized my utter weariness. ‘The only sounds which broke the stillness were occasional low murmurs from the men in charge of the caravan and the noise made in the unpacking. Sheltered from the heat and light in this quiet, inviting little spot, I soon fell into a reverie. It was exactly ten years ago that I had graduated from High School. Since that time I had traveled extensively and here, on the 15th day of June, 1931, my father and I were crossing the Sahara desert with a friend of his who had charge of a caravan. Of course, there were more modern ways of travel, but I was extremely anxious to cross in this manner mainly for the novelty of it. 1 had been thinking a great deal about my school days that morning, and over and over again I wondered what my various classmates were doing. About two years ago, in London, I had run into James Anthony, U. S. Ambassador to England; and in Paris I met a party of sightseers, among whom were Lucille Bragg, Elizabeth Faulkner, Pattie Lewis Phillips, and Nancy Woodward. Re- calling this started a train of thought, and I wondered what the others might be doing. My attention was drawn to a queer disturbance in the sand on the side of one of the smaller dunes very close to me. The sand seemed to be rising up in the form of a curtain, and as it parted, instead of seeing what I expected, quite a surprise awaited me. In the place of sand hills was a large opera house in New York. The place was crowded, because the night’s performance was to be an exhibition of local talent. Many of our Americans who had become great singers and players had formed a company by the name of “Th e American Opera Com- pany. On the program I saw several names which were familiar. Under the list of singers were Alice Barksdale, Alfred Heslep, Velma Kessler, Virginia Gartrell, Caroline Lewis, and Annie Lind Porter. John Crowder was leading pianist. I was anxious to hear them perform, but the scene changed to Washington where Congress was in session. A hot debate was being carried on in the House by Jean Craig, Brandon Smith, Frankie Anderson, and Thomas Sweeney. The Speaker, William Taylor, was finding it almost impossible to get them to come to order. 04 THE MARSHALLITE. The scene rapidly shifted to a ball park in Chicago. Among the star players who appeared were Hugh Ewing, Ludwell Johnson, Walter Crenshaw, Harold Dudley and Floyd Tyson, all of whom had acquired fame in the athletic world. This scene was replaced by a tall majestic building—the office building of many prominent business men. On the directory in the entrance to the building were the names of Lecky, Snead, and Milner, Attorneys at Law: Oswald Hedley, Life Insurance; and William Ribble, President of the Ribble Comedy Company. I later learned that the “Ribble Comedy Company’ meant what Mack Sennett meant when I was going to school. Next I saw a musical comedy which was making quite a hit in one of our Western cities. The chorus girls were May Woodall, Elizabeth Thomas, Louise Sanders, Mabell Powell, Rose Levinson, and Virginia Beazley. Eleanora Pearman was leading lady, with John Goddin playing opposite. Among the men taking chorus parts were Stuart Parrish, Wilbur Ratcliffe, Fred Hoenninger, and William Johnson. On the outside of this theater was advertised the attraction for the coming week: “Ribble Comedy Company Presents Great Show! Notable cast including Cornelius King, John Dew, Stuart Selden, Jennie Barksdale, Jessie Binford, and others. Story written by Dorothy Reams, directed by Edwin Newell; costumes designed by Sallie Childrey. Next week Clifford Dowdy will play Shakespeare, supported by_.0.,”” but the names were not familiar. The interior of an art gallery in Richmond now met my gaze. Some of the most prominent paintings bore the signatures of Percy Drake and Joseph Owen. Several familiar portraits by these two artists were in the room; Lillian Franklin the world’s most famous woman orator: James Selvage, President United States: Alta Herring, famous poetess; and Joseph Shoemaker, Brigadier-General United States Army. Near the door hung a placaid announcing important lectures to be delivered that week! “The Honorable Arthur Levy will speak on Constit- tutional Law Wednesday night, and on Friday Miss Virginia Jackson, who has already announced her candidacy for Commonwealth's Attorney, will lecture. Next I saw President Selvage holding a conference with his cabinet. Nearly every member's face was familiar. Ralph Temple was Secretary of State; Sum- merfield Talman, Secretary of War; James Doyle, of Interior; Clinton Bandy, of Agriculture; and Roscoe Johnson Postmaster-General. It seemed that there was still a touch of the Spoils System prevailing. This scene changed to a cozy shop where Lewise Shepherd displayed her latest models in frocks, Margaret Armstrong arranged one’s hair in the newest mode, and Elsie Cardoza manicured one’s finger nails. Opposite this shop was 95 ut THE MARSHALLITE. (7) a dancing school operated by Lois Gill and Ruth Thompson who guaranteed to teach one the latest dances. Over their studio Henrietta Cates, who spoke fluently all languages known to the modern world (with a few thrown in) conducted school for the dumb. On the third floor Mildred Stoltz edited a paper— Latest News in Wittiest Words’’—which made “Pathe News” and “Life” sink into insignificance. As this scene passed a. But here the sound of my father’s voice calling me broke the spell. Gone were the fanciful pictures I had conjured up, and instead there was only the dreary waste as before. What had happened? Surely I hadn't been alseep, because I was conscious all the time of my surroundings. Was it the spell of the desert? Or was it that I had been thinking so intently that morning about my classmates that my imagination had run riot? I did not know, and I did not care to analyze its cause. My only regret was that I couldn't see the rest. There were still many interesting people to be accounted for. As the caravan moved from the cool depths of the oasis out into the desert, I turned to look back at the spot which a few minutes ago had held me spell- bound. The place fascinated me, and it was not until several minutes later when the sand dune had become only a distant object scarcely discernible amid the myriads of small dunes that I was able to turn my eyes in the opposite direction.

We still recall the time when we first entered John Marshall, and how, after becoming acquainted with those about us and the ceremonies attending our entrance, we began to feel our importance. It was not very long, however, before this feeling began to leave us, for, when we struck our real work, we hardly knew whether to call it an inclined plane or an eclipsed rainbow. It was not the spirit of the class to give up in despair simply because we realized how little we knew, but holding the fort, so to speak, we kept up our reputation until the end of the first session. Then we entered upon the new and imposing duties of our sophomore year. This session was not entirely unlike the first, for it had its difficulties as well as its pleasures, although they were of a different nature and always pointed to higher levels of learning. Still a little bashful, we rallied our forces and gave the Seniors a grand picnic (so they say) at Falling Creek. Loud rang the voice of duty, and again we hastened to the field of action. We were now Juniors with much greater responsibility. We were led through this session by the valiant Captain Woodall. Our sponsor, Miss Hunt, has ever been ready to lead us wayward creatures back into the straight and narrow path. The Seniors accuse us of being proud. We are, because we claim the handsomest ugliest, wittiest, silliest, laziest and fattest pupils in the school. Was this not demonstrated on Junior Stunt Night? It is impossible to prophesy what will become of us in our senior year, but we enter it with the assurance that there prevails in the class that spirit of school pride and hearty co-operation which will go far toward the perpetuation of the spirit and ideals characteristic of our Alma Mater. 99 THE MARSHALLITE. ADVICE TO JUNIORS To study, or not to study—that is the question; Whether ‘tis better in the end to suffer The pangs and disgrace of outrageous failure, Or to apply yourselves to you lessons, And by hard work, master them? To study,—to fail: — What then? and by study to know you end The heartache and the torturing dread That you are heir to,—'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To study :—to fai]:— To fail perchance again ;—ay, there’s the rub. For in that deficiency what miseries come From the knowledge that you are left behind Must give you pause. There’s the thing That makes you so unhappy: For who can bear the taunts and scorn of those Who have won the laurels coveted by all, The pangs of deserved defeat, the slacker’s fate, The insolence of the newcomers and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When you might your quietus make By a little study? Who would waste his time, Knowing full well the end all failures meet? But the anticipated joys of great attainments Should make you bear the ills you have, Rather than fly to others that you know not of.

For truth lives on forever after you, While praise is always buried with your bones. So, harken, fellow school mates, to my message. As perhaps you know, the Sophmores are ambitious, And it is so. And in their great ambition They more than dream their dreams; they realize them. Here in the sight of you and old John Marshall,— For you, my friends, are willing e’er to list, So, too, John Marshall is a ready hearer,— Come | to tell truth about the Sophmores. They are your friends, school-mates: your sons, dear school. Ah! said I not they were ambitious? And you are waiting, willing e’er to list. They have brought much joy into your lives: Their spirit does your heart with “pep”’ fast fill. THE MARSHALLITE. Are not the Sophmores ambitious? When that they have cheered, then all was won: Ambition buoys them upward to success. Again | call to mind they are ambitious, And still you wait, are willing e’er to list. You all do know that when the Sophmores fight The foe soon lies quite vanquished at their feet: And then they mercy give;—this is ambition. Oh! Twenty-three, is much ambitious, For surely ‘tis an honorable class! ) HISTORIAN. IO5 106 24 , CLASS OF THE MARSHALLITE.

HENRIETTE GREENBAUM CLass CoLor CLAss FLOWER Purple and Gold Goldenrod On the never-to-be-forgotten month of September, 1920, we Freshies”’ began the first of our four years at John Marshall. Our history is consequently very brief, and although nothing much has been heard of us, it isn’t because we have been standing still. Under the very capable guidance of our Sponsor, Miss Jeffries Heinrich, we were organized into a regular class, had many pleasant meetings, and enjoyed a most delightful party. Although our sponsor's efforts seem to have come to naught, we are very ambitious and with many plans for a bright future, we will show John Marshall what a wide-awake class can accomplish. With “Team Work” for our motto and a desire to help in everything for the betterment of old John Marshall, we are bound to succeed. The class of °24 will strive to make a record of which it and John Marshall will be proud, and which will be an inspiration to the students who come after us. “On with the work!” 107 108 THE MARSHALLITE. CONVERSATION WITH AUTHORS Each year has witnessed the extension of the list of prominent men and women of letters of my acquaintance, and each year has increased my admiration for them. However, certain questions and suggestions have from time to time arisen, and | have always longed for a chance to express them. At last my opportunity came; I would talk with my favorite authors, dead though they be! I was invited to a spiritualistic seance. With eager anticipation | awaited the appointed day. Then, with a series of questions in my mind and a prayer in my heart, I sought the studio of the celebrated medium. The meeting place into which | was ushured was shrouded with black cur- tains, and lurid red lights peeped through tiny apertures. A sense of hushed expectancy prevaded the place. The very atmosphere was permeated with the supernatural. The stillness was unbearable; the silence became oppressive; it seemed to shriek out in the darkness. When my nerves were nearly exhausted by the severe mental strain and my whole physical being was convulsed with shudders, the curtains parted and the clairvoyant entered. She was carefully led by an attendant, who in whispers confided to me that the medium was in the desired trance. “Ask anything you wish,” he instructed, “her superior mental faculties will enable her to transmit each question to the proper spirit. And the reply will be so indelibly traced on her subconscious mind that she will utter it. Now speak!”’ The excitement of the incident did not caused me to forget my questions. With a voice that slightly wavered in pitch, | asked for the spirit of Lord Bacon. “Lord Bacon, is it true that you assisted Shakespeare in writing some of the plays attributed to him? Some people say you wrote them all.” “No, my young friend. Anyone with critical perception who will examine our respective works will detect a great difference. [osay | wrote ’ The Tempest” and “Macbeth” is as ridiculous as to say Marcus Aurelius wrote © Cesar’s Gallic Wars.’ Give Shakespeare his due; my essays insure my immortality.” Thus satisfied, I asked for the spirit of Walter Savage Landor. “Mr. Landor,” I began, “your works have been a source of enjoyment to me. Your apothegms and axioms have become a part of my life. But don't you think we should be informed as to how all those men and women came to- gether? Is not our credulity taxed a little too much?” “T knew you would ask that question,’ came the reply, “but I am unable to enlighten you. For months I studied and worried over this but to no avail. 109 THE MARSHALLITE. I could not think of any logical, sensible method of getting together men and women who lived in different ages and in different parts of the world. So after I had spent so much time thinking about it that it began to tell on my health, | decided to let the readers worry some. And, by the lantern of Diogenes! they have been doing it ever since.” The spirit of Hawthorne was the next summoned. “Mr. Hawthorne,” I queried, “could not you be accused of a grave lack of economy in the treatment of your subject matter? In the light of the modern short story, your work is apt to be unfavorably regarded to-day.’ “Quite right, was the instant reply, “but my work cannot be judged by present day standards. When I wrote, the people who read were people of leisure. I wrote for them and not for the present day stenographer who does her reading on the street car and during lunch hour.” The medium’s facial expression was rigid; her soul seemed to have left her body. It might return at any minute, and so | hurried on to the next question. It was with a feeling of awe that I asked Shakespere the much debated ques- tion as to Hamlet's madness. “No! Hamlet positively was not mad,” the medium’s voice sounded almost human again. “I don’t see how anyone ever gained that impression. Please tell the teachers at John Marshall that my spirit groans every time they bring up that question. The voice trailed off into nothingness. “Mr. Thackeray,” I said when the spirit of that gentleman had been duly summoned, “one of the chapters in “Vanity Fair’ is called, “How to live on nothing a year.’ In view of prevalent living conditions, | wish you would elucidate.” “My dear sir,’ he said, “there are thousands of writers and school teachers doing that very thing to-day. I refer you to them. Good bye, sir.” Thackeray's spirit evidently had an engagement in some other part of the universe, for further efforts to communicate with it were unsuccessful. “Monsieur Rostand’—it was the first foreign writer I had called—, “| think the character of your “Cyrano” is vastly overdrawn. What is your de- fense?”’ “Cyrano de Bergerac’ was the kind of man I should like to have been. It took months of my time to write one speech of his. My dream was to be able to speak such magnificent phrases without previous preparation. | merely wr ote the character as I wanted to be, and the public liked it. And after all, the primary object of every writer is to please the people. Nest-ce-pas?”’ MW) THE MARSHALUITE. “Mr. Clement’’—I always disliked the nom de plume ‘Mark Twain’— “your biographer says that your true nature was not essentially that of an humorist. This, to me, was a startling disclosure, and I should appreciate it if you would give me some authentic information.” Alas! that is only too true.”’ The voice was marked by a touch of sadness. “| drifted into writing humorous books, and finding that the public liked them, I continued; but I certainly missed my calling.”’ Being much interested in the present American short story, I asked for the opinion of O. Henry. After a moment of hesitation he replied: “The last few years have witnessed remarkable progress toward the per- fection of the American short story. | have kept in intimate touch with it, and there seem to be some very promising writers. Mrs. Gerould, in my opinion, has achieved the greatest perfection, with Wilbur Daniel Steele ranking a close second. Fannie Hurst and Edna Ferber portray life exceptionally well, but the former is not rich in plot.” On being asked why the “Last Of The Mohicans’ was made a tragedy, Cooper, with characteristic sensitiveness, answered: “Your question young man, shows ignorance of human nature. The Ameri- can people are sustained by gloomy brooding. But for a little mingling of tragedy the world would soon go to seed.” I was phrasing the next question, one to be directed at Emerson, when sud- denly the medium began to rub her eyes. She stared around; life had returned; and I could ask no more questions. The seance had ended. ALLEN CLEATON.

The Boys’ Debating Club meets this demand with its changing routine of debates and discussions. The society was first organized in 1915 through the efforts of Mr. Arthur W. James, now Professor of History at John Marshall. Throughout these five years of continuous activi- ty, the future orators of John Marshall have exhibited talent of rare degree on many occasions. Teams are selected annually to debate with those of other high schools throughout the State. Membership is limited to boys taking Junior and Senior English. The many important political questions at issue during 1920-21 furnished excellent material for debate and d iscussion. Such questions being of public interest, these debates were often topics of interest to outsiders as well as to the members of the society. As each debate was held the most promising material for the teams was sought. The preliminaries were held in March with several of the public speaking pupils also participating. Those who made the teams were Harold Dudley, William Taylor, Mary Johns and Allen Cleaton, the first two meeting Newport News while the other two debated Maury in Norfolk. With Stuart Trevvett as its able leader and under the faithful guidance of Miss Myrtle Eubank and Mr. William Deierhoi, faculty advisers, the club has accomplished much during the session of 1920-'21.

One would perhaps think that it might grow monotonous, but, when we think of the lov ely pictures and programs we have so much enjoyed, we would not mind at all going over that part of our school year again. Our monthly meetings this year have been in the form of an extensive tour, both to different parts of our own country and to foreign lands. We traveled with the aid of our new picture lantern. Of course, we had to see America first. We took in beautiful and historical New England, the Sunny South, the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone Park and many other interesting places. Then we crossed the Pacific and traveled through Japan. The cards were beautiful and looked so real that we felt we were actually walking amidst cherry blossoms and pretty almond-eyed girls. We always had with us a most interesting and well informed guide who added much to the pleasure of each trip. We also had a party this year, given jointly by the Boys’ Debating Society and ours. At such a notable assemblage, who could help but have a good time? We are all more than sorry that the parting of the ways has come, but the best wish we can give those who are to take our places is that they may have as successful a year as we have had. 110 We piel | aia 120 President ea ; HarROLD DUDLEY Vice-President ; _...WILLIAM TAYLOR Secretary... ee . CABELL PHILLIPS Treasurer RALPH TEMPLE True to the ideals of its founders the mystic order of W. H. A. T.? has done much to arouse the never-dying spirit of old J. M. and to make for itself an en- during place in the life of the school. Before September had passed the seven returning “Whats” began work with a vim and elected the following officers: President, Stuart Trevvett; Vice-President, Harold Dudley; Secretary, Ed Newell: Treasurer, Jack Bray; Reporter, Wilbur Ratcliffe. (The other two would have been elected, but no more offices were in existence at the time.) Captains James and Montague were elected faculty advisors and through their influence we obtained the use of Co. “C.” room in the armory for meetings. The membership quota of twenty-five was soon reached as names were brought up and voted on for entrance. Each new member was duly initiated, and few indeed among them will forget the pleasantness (?) of these occasions and the angle of 45° with James and Montague on the paddle. (As an illustration “Bill” Ribble used pillows for days.) Showing true spirit, the “ Whats”’ were conspicuous at all of the games, clad in their caps of blue and white, and by co-operating with the “Peps” quite a bit of noise was created. At the Senior Class party on November 6th the W. H. A. T.? Club gave a short but “snappy minstrel show of the Keith variety. Although not a musical revue (as the audience will testify) no one present needed their ribs scratched to cause laughter. (Even Mr. Marrin was seen to smile!) Two dances were held during the fall, both at the Tray-Bay Studio, and were well attended. ny THE MARSHALLITE. As soon as the constitution would permit, the club elected new officers, having, as they said, been fed up on crooked politics and desiring a change in Adminis- tration. This resulted in the election of officers listed at the beginning. ‘These gentlemen have proven to be of a more enlightened class of crooks, for we have not been able to get even enough evidence to oust them. They are to be congratu- lated on their craftiness. During the spring the Club has indeed shown “pep” and interest in school affairs. A prize was offered to the pupil who wrote the best school song, and petitions were sent to Mr. Harwood regarding improvements of both the front lawn and the lunch counter. The results were very gratifying. One more dance is to be held, after which plans will be perfected for the annual W. H. A. T.? outing to come during the anxious period between exams and commencement. May it prove as enjoyable an event as in previous years. Wee Ce. ieee 122 TH EK MARSHALLITE. A. A. A. CLUB The A. A. A., a February addition to the clubs of John Marshall, has com- pleted a most successful and eventful term. At the first meeting a charter was drawn up, after which the following officers were elected. FoTOStOCT mca eae ee coe, © eae ..... WILLIAM RIBBLE WaGe= lat?

The dances given by the club at the Tray-Boy Studio on March 11th and May 6th were two of the best school dances of the year. On both occasions the Old Dominion Quintette provided most excellent music. Many school activities which would be too numerous to mention were in- dulged in and supported by the club. While most of our members leave John Marshall this year there are a few who will remain to again organize the club, and revive the spirit of the A. A. A. 123 Pep CLUB 124 In September, 1920, fifteen peppy’ young ladies started out with the same old cry, “ Hail, hail, the gang's all here!” trying to stir up alittle pep in John Marshall. During the drives for Record subscriptions and Athletic Association memberships the Peps were at work, and much credit is due them for their success. At the beginning of the term when the Seniors gave their Social, ‘ Nebuchadnezzar’s Society Circus,’ which was presented by the Peps, proved to be one of the most amusing events of the evening. . During the football season, the Peps loyally supported the team at the games with enthusiastic cheering. At Thanksgiving, they gave a beautiful basket of tempting fruit to the old soldiers. But too much work will never do, so we gave the Football team a “big feed”’ and a dance which was duly appreciated. Then the Peps and the “What” Club had a dance together, and we all had a splendid time. The basketball and baseball seasons found the same old pep at all the games. Dances, games, and frolics of this sort made this fourth generation of the Pep Club one of the most successful. Following the tradition of our noble forebears, we, the members of the Pep Club of the year 1921, of J. M. H. S., City of Richmond, County of Henrico, and State of Virginia, do make, declare, and publish this, our last will and testament, in the following manner; We do hereby give, devise, and bequeathe: Ii To Elizabeth Stuart and three judges to be chosen at will— The name, vegetable, colors, hope, and aim of the Pep Club. II. To the 1922 MARSHALLITE and the John Marshall Record—our sincerest and heartiest wish for their success. III. To the faculty—One happy hour without any pep. IV. To the Class of 1922—Our spirit of cheerful co-operation. Y.� . To Miss Mary Williams, our sponsor—our deep appreciation and best wishes for the future. In witness whereof, we have ascribed and affixed our seal at Richmond, Virginia, this twenty-third day of February, 1921.

IKATHLEEN BLACK The Spanish Society was late in organizing in the fall of 1020. Owing to this fact nothing could be undertaken until after Christmas. It was thought advisable that the Junior and Senior Societies should be united, and jointly more work could be accomplished. A membership campaign was started which greatly increased the attendance. On February 18th a dance was given at the Robert E. Lee School. The purpose of this dance was not to increase our treasury, but to give an enjoyable evening not only to the members of the society, but to all who cared to attend. This dance was quite a success. Later in the spring, through the kindness of Mr. Parisi, some films of South America were shown at the school. This glimpse of the Spanish speaking countries proved not only to be interesting but very instructive to the Spanish students. As the warm, languid days of late spring approached, naturally the thoughts of girls and boys in school turned to picnics, fishing parties, canoeing, and other sports. We decided to take advantage of one of Nature's spring days by having a picnic. That day was delightfully spent by all who participated. We hope that. iry the future the Spanish Societies may be as successful as we have been in the past. JEANNETTE JEWETT.

This fact was without doubt due to the splendid acting of the students and also to the interpretation of each act by Richard Angle. A quaint, picturesque dance of the seventeenth century concluded the per- formance. In the aucience were several members of the faculty from the University of Richmond and William and Mary College who praised the students highly for their splendid work. The society feels perfectly justified in saying that the play was a great success. Although the play is the largest thing which we have undertaken for quite a while, it is not the only thing that we have been doing. . The society has planned to have discussed at its meetings the principal cities of France and also the most famous writers of that country. The meetings thus far have been very interesting Interest in the French language is growing rapidly: consequently the French Society is growing. We are looking forward to even greater things for the future, and we hope to make John Marshall more than proud of us. THE MARSHALLITE. P-O-E. CLUB P-O-E Club? The name like every well-chosen one has a meaning. It appears to pay tribute to the great Southern poet, whose haunting lines get into our very blood and weave a spell over those who unsuspectingly choose quite another title. So much the better if our Club can have a double significance, and link to the name of Virginia's greatest orator that of her greatest poet. Often in our midst have the poems of Edgar Allan Poe been read with the deep feeling of a Patrick Henry. Yes, we call ourselves “Patrick's Only Equals.’’ We mean no offense to our name-sake: surely, he would wish to see a rival. We began in February and so far have not produced any as great as Patrick, but we are young yet. We don't really expect to get our speeches down Pat”’ before the outbreak of another war. Can anyone who heard Harold Dudley and “Bill” Taylor debate doubt that we are bringing back the spirit of 75? Surely, when John Franklin Dew has the floor he gets more applause than did Cicero in his Orations Against Catiline: and when we all get to talking it would take the lions in a Roman amphitheatre or the bulls of Seville to drown our well-trained voices. Probably our volume is due to the fact that we carry on our works in the auditorium while “Mike™ and the other janitors are lumbering down the aisle with a piano, or Mr. Spear is pounding away on stage scenery, or Mr. Mercer is leading the Operetta Chorus, or Mr. Stubbs and Miss Van Vort are conspiring together as they lean against the “'stair.”’ On Tuesdays, when Mr. Donahue is teaching his class in musical appreciation in the front of the room, we retire to the rear to have study period. Suddenly the air is rent by the shrieks of a lyric soprano or the mutterings of the Boston Symphony. Only those who are unusually accustomed to the “concord of sweet sounds’’ can concentrate and make an outline for a speech. In spite of all these disturbances, the impossible can happen, and we often get good results. We feel certain that the distinguished member of our Public Speaking group will find the course an aid to digestion in case of banquets, or an antidote for the college of auctioneers and revivalists. 132 JUNIOR FRENCH SOCIETY OPEICERS POTOSI OCT La tea an OBR yl a ES es oe BosQquET WEv Vice-President... ae eee Wen.

Interesting programs were rendered throughout the session by various French classes, which included contests, quaint French songs, story-telling, and instructive accounts of things French in general. The large attendance at practically all the meetings of the society showed the interest felt by the membership. The informing and inspiring addresses of Mlle.

It was the earnest desire of the Club to establish a Scholarship Fund, to be used in connection with a scholarship to be given to a deserving pupil of John Marshall. Dr. Orie Hatcher, head of the Bureau of Vocations, has made this scholarship possible, and the Patriotic Club is to furnish the expenses of the winner. The splendid work of all the officers in connection with this is highly commendable, especially that of Harold Snead. Rehearsals started in October for the Play, “Professor Pepp,’ which was presented in the auditorium on December 17, for the benefit of this fund. With a background of college life, the plot of this attractive play centers around Pro- fessor Peterkin Pepp, an eccentric college professor, who, through the efforts of a practical joker, has become a nervous wreck. Cabell Phillips portrayed this part very well. Alice Barksdale, as Petunis Muggins, the hired girl, was a great success. The “Sis Hopkins’ part, one easily overplayed and often underplayed, was acted to perfection and to the great delight of everyone who saw her. Sidney Mosedale as Minerva Boulder, the Professor’s housekeeper, and Ben Hilliard as Sim Batty, the Police Force, and incidentally Petunia’s lover, were very enjoyable. Elizabeth Watson as the Professor's attractive niece: Rawley Law as C. B. Button- buster, and Harry Corey as Buttonbuster’s son who had had his name changed to Howard Green, were among the principal characters and played their part very well. The parts of college boys and girls were played well by: Mildred Fergusson as Caroline Kay, a vivacious freshman; Elizabeth Todd as Olga Stopski, the teacher of folk dancing; Katherine Oppenhimer as Kitty Clover, a souvenir collector; Nancy Lewis as Vivian Drew; Richard Angle as Pedler Benson, Parker Fairlamb as Noisy Fleming, a vociferous junior, and Connally Watkins as Pink Harcher, a college student. The success of the play was greatly due to the direction of Mrs. Baker and the individual work of the cast. Other features enjoyed were the music rendered by the Cadet Band and the serenade by Rex Blankenship and several other John Marshall © Song Birds.” REPORTER, Program ewe September 1920- May |92! ete Sept. 22nd.

But do not think it has been all fun, for running a Clothes Shop at the As- sociated Charities, filling Christmas boxes for the children of India, and sending girls, both Japanese and American, to Conference’ are among the useful things we have done. While our social activities and deeds of service have been various, of course our Membership Committee has been on the job, and consequently our present membership numbers around one hundred. Nevertheless, what good would all these members have been if we hadn't had something to keep them alive and interested? Every program was carefully and successfully planned before the beginning of the term, and a small pamphlet with the date and subject of each meeting was given to every member. When the new officers were elected, we decided to have a house-party at Lanexa, Virginia, in order to plan all the meetings for the year. “All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl,” therefore, after the laborious work of deciding on three faculty advi$Sers, Misses Cross, Heinrich, and Williams, with Miss DuBose as Y. W. Leader, and after planning the programs, the fun began. Hiking, eating, kodaking, and sailing in broken-down motor-boats helped to pass away some of the time. Thus, with every one working and playing together and with a spirit of friend- liness prevailing a “‘live-wire” club necessarily results. 137 THE MARSHALLITE.

Despite the fact that he had only a short time with the men, each afternoon, he developed them into a first class eleven by the end of the season. 141 THE MARSHALLITE, i Manager James Selvage deserves a great deal of praise from the student body for the manner in which he handled the business part of the team. Selvage proved to be a real worker. Captain Floyd Tyson, the fullback who never has, and never will be sur- passed at John Marshall, deserves especial credit for his very efficient playing. Being the fastest man on the squad, Floyd proved to be the most valuable one as well “Buck” Saunders’ middle name is “Fight.” This he did from start to finish. The most characteristic thing about “Buck's” playing is that he always jerks off his headgear in order to fight the harder. George Lasater might well have been called Stonewall,” for his side of the line always resembled a stone wall. Hugh Ewing, Although one of the lightest of our linemen, proved himself a match for any of our opponents, some weighing even as much as 200 pounds. One of the team’s most faithful men was Nathan Lambeth, who was perhaps the strongest man in our line on the defense. Little and light is Ludwell Johnson. Nevertheless, he plays a game that can har dly be surpassed by the best of our men. He is especially noted for his sur- prising swiftness. Rex Blankinship, although very quiet and considerate on most occasions, could play a real game and be as rough as his opponents. Tall and lanky is Trevillian Greene. This accounts for the fact that on numerous occasions he is known to have withheld his mighty opponents by a single blow of his powerful arms! Quarterbacks need experience more than any other man on the team. Harold Dudley had never had any, but he held down his position like one who had played the game before. Granville Hinckle balanced the opposite end of our team from that of “Buck” Saunders, and on many occasions proved to be an excellent end for the defensive. Vernon (‘Kid’) Biddle is an excellent tackler, and great at driving holes in the opponent's line. If ever a man was needed as a substitute, no matter for what position, Walter Crenshaw was the one employed. “Crensh” proved a most valuable man for this reason. “T can't think,” was an expression given to Alfred Dudley after the Bene- dictine game, in which he proved himself capable of holding down the position of center when Lambeth was unable to continue in the game. 142 LL BASKETBALL [TEAM 144 Coach Manager.

During the season he placed 17 balls in the basket besicles scoring 13 points from fouls. Kahn was a very good forward, considering this was his first year out for basketball. Brilliant days are ahead of him in the athletic field. “Onions” Jones was another forward who did some brilliant playing, shooting 14 goals. Jones did not play every game, but in those which he participated he demonstrated his ability. This is also Jones's first year. 145 THE MARSHALLITE. yh “Gawky ’ Sharp, although a “regular,” played almost every position on the team and played them well, too. Sharp is noted for his grace (7), which accounts for the fact that he made 11 goals plus 7 points for fouls. Since Sharp will also return next year, there is no reason why the 1922 team should not be the best we have ever had. The center of the team of ‘21 was no other than Flavius H. Tyson. Tall and lank as he is, he proved to be a very efficient player. Tyson made a total of 7 field goals this year, but although seemingly few, he made up for the loss through his defensive work. Mr. Jones will also welcome Flave back as one of next year’s players. Hugh Ewing, left guard, shot 5 goals, which fact means that he did a bit of Starring. Last for scoring, but far from least in efficiency, stood captain Floyd Tyson. His work on every occasion was that of a real basketball player, and he proved of inestimable value to the team. 146 WVa |, NOVY] 148 TEAM Coach TUCKER JONES Manager GEORGE [LASATER Captain Pred HucH Ewinc Dash—Blankinship, Wev, Moore, Doggett, Johnson.

However, in a later meet than the Howitzer’s which was held in that armory, the team showed up much better than was even expected of them. The University of Richmond Freshmen team won over our team only by the score of 40% to30!%. At this meet, we took three first places and a number of seconds. Hugh Ewing won from the University's star distance runner, Deckle, in the mile event. Sharp took the half mile and Vernon Biddle took first place in the high jump with Bill Ribble close behind him for second place. Madison and Galvin came out second in the broad jump and shotput respectively. These were about all the places in which we made good show - ings, but the rest were contended for with a great deal of fight. The fact that the University’s squad won over Fork Union's team by a much larger score than over us put quite a bit of pep in our team for at the time that this article was sent to press arrangements were being made for a track meet with Fork Union. 149 THE MARSHALLITE. The meet was to have been held at Stadium Field on May 1oth. We were to have been represented by the members of the team as named above. From previous records we expected to put up a good showing against Fork Union. The same week that the meet was to have been held with Fork Union, our team was to have entered a meet at one of the armories with a number of prep schools. Both McGuire's and Chamberlayne were to participate in this meet and fight for a cup offered to the winner of the relay. In a former meet we defeated McGuire's and so should have come out first in this second meet also. On this night, also, was to have been a relay race between the four companies of the battalion. The fact that we did not make arra ngements for entrance in the meet at Central high school this year was because the teams sent to that school were out of our class and Mr. Jones thought it best not to enter. However, we made one entrance. Vernon Biddle, our star high jumper, was sent to Central high to represent old John Marshall, all by himself. From the way that he was jumping at the meet with the University of Richmond he is likely to win a gold medal. Let us hope so at least.

Miss Holsapple, who was very much interested in the girls and their work, proved an efficient director. The first game of the season was played with Highland Springs, John Marshall being victorious. The second and also the third games were played with the same team, Highland Springs winning both games. The fourth and only game played with an out-of-town team was won by Charlottesville. Iwo successive games were played with Collegiate, John Marshall losing the first and winning the second. The last two games of the season were played with the Merchants National Bank team, both being won by John Marshall. During the entire season John Marshall scored 223 points against 171. The team is justly proud of its record this year and trusts that the next year’s team will have the same hearty backing and success that has been enjoyed this season. THE MARSHALLITE. REVIEW OF ATHLETICS--1920-21 FOOITBAEL “A bad beginning is the sign of a good ending!”’ ‘Thus it proved with our football team this year. Never before has a John Marshall football team borne the brunt of a season battling with such a light squad as that of ‘21. After a week of practice under Mr. Jones, Ching’ Graham, formerly of V. P. I., was secured to shape the team into condition for the season. As the days passed, the team progressed rapidly. Meanwhile, James Selvage, manager of the eleven, was working perseveringly to get an attractive schedule. October 4 came, and with it our first game, which was with the University of Richmond's second team. Greatly outweighed and playing against several of our own last year’s team, we were defeated by the close score of 6 too. ‘There was no outstanding star, but everyone played hard and gave the impression that we put up the hardest fight. About two weeks later we received what proved to be our greatest thrashing of the season. Walter Reid High School of Newport News played and defeated us on their own grounds by the overwhelming score of 39 to o. Never before has Newport News won from John Marshall in football. If this game had been played toward the end of the season, no doubt we should have held them to a much closer score as is proved by the Maury game, we defeating them, and New- port News winning from Maury only by a freak play. We were considerably outweighed and had an entire team of letter men playing against us. On the other hand, we had only two letter men, and the rest of our team had never played but one game (with Richmond University) before. Floyd Tyson, our captain, and Carroll Saunders another “letter’” man, proved themselves the veterans that they were, and so well did they play that the Newport News papers could not withhold giving each of them an excellent write-up. The following Saturday, October 23, we traveled to Fork Union only to bow to that school to the tune of 28 to 14. This is another game that we should have played toward the last part of the season, for the score would have been much different. John Marshall was the first team to score on Fork Union on their own grounds, and at times it seemed that we would be victorious. Fork Union out- weighed us just as did every other team that we played during the season. Floyd Tyson and Rex Blankinship each made runs of forty yards during this game. On October 29 luck began to favor us, for on that day we met and defeated Petersburg High School by the score of 27 to o. We had been forewarned that Petersburg had a heavier team than it had had in many years. We went on the field feeling positive that our heavy opponents would “wade through us.” It is 150 THE MARSHALLITE. needless to relate the particulars of the game, for it was a complete “ walk-away for John Marshall. Courtland High School was another that caused all Marshallites to feel humiliated. On November 5th we played them at Courtland and returned home with the small side of the score. We had but seven points to their thirteen. Our team felt, in fact they knew, that they received several unfair decisions, which cost us the game. But despite this fact our team admitted that Courtland had one of the best teams that they came in contact with during the season. For perhaps the “forty ‘leventh” time we caused McGuire's to bow down to us in defeat. On November 12th we met them at Boulevard Field before a large crowd of spectators from both institutions. We played the poorest game of the season on this day, winning from McGuire's by the small score of 7 too. This was sufficient for their defeat, however, but it is not as much as we should have made, as is proved by the fact that we defeated Benedictine by five times as great a score as did McGuire's. Floyd Tyson made our touchdown by a five yard line plunge, after the ball had been picked up from a fumble and brought to McGuire's five yard line. Six days later Benedictine followed in the path of McGuire's, and walked from Poulevard Field again defeated by a Marshallite team. The score was 37 to o, all of which was made in the third quarter, after Tyson and Blankinship were brought into the game. Both had been sick, but despite this fact played a part of the game. The second team was sent in for the fourth quarter, and they too held our rivals scoreless. Thanksgiving day brought our most cherished victory. For the second con- secutive year we played Maury and returned to Richmond the victors. The score was 7 to 6. ‘Tyson made our touchdown in the first quarter when he broke through the Maury line, “‘stiff-armed”’ the entire Maury backfield, and ran forty- five yards for a goal. He added the seventh point by kicking goal. Maury was very fortunate in making her touchdown, as it was the only time during the game that she was in our territory. She chanced to be there by a lucky interception of a forward pass which we attempted while on their twenty yard line, one of their men running it back for about fifty yards in a clear field before we finally tackled him. Then after forcing lost ground upon them by tackling them behind the line of scrimmage for several downs in succession, they made a successful pass which brought them up to within three yards of the goal line. By a line plunge they carried the ball across the goal. The game ended with John Marshall but four yards from the goal line. By a number of consecutive plunges we had brought the ball straight down field for fifty yards. Thus ended our season, which, as has been said, had a bad beginning but a most glorious ending. 157 iy LD MARSHALLITE. Hy BASKETBALL Basket ball practice commenced as soon as the football season ended. The largest number of candidates that ever went out reported to Mr. Jones on the first day of practice. Mr. Jones took charge of the men, and under his usual expert coachmanship soon developed a team that was an excellent one considering it was all green material, with the exception of Tyson. The season was somewhat hindered by the fact that John Marshall did not join the Virginia Athletic and Literary League, and other high schools in the State refused to play us. This forced us to play teams out of our class. Hence, we did not make as good a showing as the team of ‘20. Manager Bray, after completing his schedule, had seven games on the list, all of which were played. The first was with Blackstone Military Academy, and was played on their grounds. This proved to be the most closely contested game that we played during the season. We defeated them by the score of 24 to 23. Flave Tyson was the real star of this game and did much to bring victory to our team. The latter part of January saw John Marshall encounter the five from Wilson high school of Portsmouth. Through excess fouls on the part of our team, we lost the game by the score of 20 to 22. Our men did not play what is termed “rough,” but in fighting continuously they made a number of fouls. On the 2d of February a practice game was played with the University of Richmond scrub team. It was stated that the University had just as good a scrub team as they had varsity. It proved so from the indications of the score— John Marshall 5, scrubs 18. Alexandria high school came to Richmond on February 5th and left here the following day with the small end of the score. We defeated them by starting a rally in the second half of the game. The first half ended with the score within a point of being tie. At the end of the second half, however, it stood John Mar- shall 34, Alexandria o. Portsmouth High School not only defeated us in Richmond, but also on their home court. The second game gave them a higher margin over our quintet than did the first. John Marshall fought hard, but 27 points were 9 more than she could gather in. The two final games of the season were with Woodberry Forest College. The first was played in Richmond and the other at Woodberry. John Marshall was completely outclassed in Richmond, Woodberry winning by a score of 37 to 9. We scored only one field goal during the first ha lf of this game. At Woodberry, however, our five “thru a fright’ into the other team, for they only took the contest from us by the score of 29 to 20. Our entire team put up a most strenuous fight, which put the Woodberry team to their real test. It was in this game that Flave Tyson broke his arm. 158 THE MARSHALLITE. BASEBALL As usual, we can only make a prophecy about baseball. However, having an early spring, the team was able to get under way very soon in comparison with former years. By the first of April we had played one game and were able to estimate the class of material that was out. Some forty men reported for practice. Four of them, Liesfeld, Sharp, Walden, and Dudley were “letter”? men. Rex Blankinship, as manager, started on his schedule very early and before the first game had it nearly completed. There were about twelve games ar- ranged for the season. Blankinship felt very confident that he would have a successful year from every standpoint; first, because he secured the use of Boule- vard Field for practice each afternoon; second, because there seemed to be a great deal of spirit among the student body; and finally, because he was very fortunate in getting the services of a most efficient man as a coach. Mr. L. T. McCall, of North Carolina, who had formerly coached many teams and who had played a great deal of professional ball was the gentleman secured. The squad was more than pleased with the coaching of McCall up to the time this article was written. Coach McCall had whipped a couple of teams into shape, so that our nine was able to play the Old Point Comfort College team on March 29th. The game was played in Richmond, and by a tenth inning rally, after we had tied the score in the eighth inning, we won from the visitors. The score was 5 to 4. The next game that Blankinship had on schedule was with the Paulist Choir school of New York. Blankinship gave every impression of making a good and efficient manager. He had planned about three trips besides a great many home games. All prospects point toward a most successful season. Although no pitcher returned this year, at least a dozen boys came out to try for that position. Among those who showed up well were Brennaman, Grimm, Alfred Dudley, Spain, and Priddy. There were few infielders trying for the team, but plenty of outfielders. Among the outfielders were Rennie, Hopkins, De Mott, Bray, Talman, and Hall. TRACK When the winter sports were over, the spring teams began to train. Both track and baseball were called out the same week. There were about five track men from the team of ‘20 who reported. Manager Lasater made a number of entries in the track meet that was held at the Howitzer’s Armory on March the 19th. Many organizations were allowed to compete in it: therefore, the fact that we took two first places, is an honor. Vernon Biddle took the high jump for the entire meet and received a gold medal. Our relay team, which competed against four other high or prep schools, won that event and received a silver cup. The team was composed of Ewing, Kahn, Blankinship, and Sharp. Manager Lasater, at the time the annual went to press, had one meet ar- ranged with the University of Richmond for the latter part of April; several others were pending. 159 eee Bien cas poss es 160 THE MARSHALLITE. MUSIC As never before in the history of John Marshall, music has found its true place. The choruses, the orchestra and classes in musical appreciation have accomplished much; many pupils are taking outside music for credit; the whole school is interested in the Music Memory Contest: the Record and the ANNUAL for the first time have music departments. The Boys’ and Girls’ Choruses have done excellent work this year. Mr. Mercer carefully selected the voices at the beginning of the term in order to obtain the best results. The Boys’ Chorus has about one hundred and fifty members, and the Girls’ Chorus twelve hundred. The Boys, although handi- capped in the early spring by practice for the operetta, have learned and suc- cessfully sung “On the Road to Mandalay.” The Girls’ Chorus has prepared a large repertoire, some of the numbers being “ Springtime’ by Becker, “The Lord is my Light” by Allitsen, and Penn's ‘“Carissima.’’ Accompanied by the orchestra they will occupy the stage on Class Night and sing some of these numbers. The first thing of its kind ever tried in Richmond is the Music Memory Contest. Over six thousand students will have the privilege of hearing fifty selected compositions, and prizes will be given to those children who are most familiar with the pieces at the end of the contest. Only the Freshmen of John Marshall are eligible. On May 10, the names of the winners will be read at the City Auditorium, at which time the Girls’ Chorus will sing, and many prominent speakers will be present. ek ¢ Early in the spring the operetta “Bulbul” was selected for this year’s pro- duction. The best voices were picked from the chorus and rehearsals were soon begun. The cast includes over seventy-five, being the largest operetta ever attempted at John Marshall.

The couple has never met, and the princess vainly implores her father not to make her marry a man she has never seen. The prince determines to see his future wife before the betrothal ceremony, and disguising himself and friends as peddlers seeks the king's palace. The peddler-prince speedily wins Bulbul’s affections and tries to persuade her to give up Caspian and elope with him instead. This she refuses to do. They agree to meet once more in the ballroom that evening and say goodbye. All are horrified when Bulbul announces that she will not marry the prince, but instead the man she loves—a peddler. The king recognizes in the supposed peddler, the prince, and gives his consent. In the meantime, Ida, who has always had a lingering fondness for the king, proposes to him under a promise he had made that afternoon, and he is bound to consent. Alain and Lilla make a third happy couple, and the three weddings are set for “Tuesday at noon.’ 165 THE MARSHALLITE. 21 ORCHESTRA 166 ie A Ul NM Hin W in iPS nnn al uit ie im it il A 1 Aa in ‘se i th Nl Py it 5 Special praise should be given the Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Mercer, for their splendid work during the past season. ‘The following statement appeared in a leading newspaper after the Orchestra had played for an entertain- ment given at the Woman's Club on the evening of April 15th: “ This Orchestra is the best amateur orchestra this city has seen. Under the direction of Walter Mercer; it played several times and deserves a large word of praise for the excellence of its work.” The Orchestra has one double bass, one cello, one cornet, twelve violins, one trombone, and one drum. It has been customary for outside orchestras to play at the Operettas, but owing to its ability and size, our Orchestra played this year. Some of the numbers of its repertoire are: “The Caliph of Bagdad” by Boieldieu; “Basket of Roses” by Albers: Brewer's “At Sunset: and “Manhattan Beach March” by Sousa 167 - TH KE MARSHALLITE.

THE BATTALION The Battalion was re-organized at the beginning of school and resumed work immediately. No session, since the very first year when everything was new, has been so hard on the Corps. The entire system of company drill had to be changed in order to conform with the requirements of the Infantry Drill Regula- tions of 1919. The commandant, Captain R. P. James, was also commandant last session. Captain James is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and served during the war as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. He has taken a great personal interest in the Corps which has grown and progressed very rapidly under him. Captain Frank Montague, also a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, was the assistant commandant. We were very sorry to lose Captain Montague who resigned March 10, 1921. Although with us but a short time, his whole- hearted devotion to the Corps has made a lasting impression. The Battalion consisted of four companies of eight to twelve squads each, andaband. There was the usual rivalry between the companies, especially toward the close of the session when the competitive drill was near. The band, created two years ago out of the fife and drum corps, deserves much credit. On parade, no part of the Corps is praised as much as this unit. The Corps was not called upon to do much parading this session. ‘The Cadets participated in the Armistice Day parade, a special celebration in the interest of playgrounds, and in the three Memorial Day parades. The Corps was also reviewed by General Nivelle, the French hero of Verdun. Although we were not in many public affairs, there is no reason to think that the Battalion was not “on the job.” From September to February we were engaged in close order drill. From then on we took up range work and extended order as prescribed under the new regulations. Since the new methods require more room than the old, we were even more inconvenienced for need of an adequate drill ground. During the first term Companies “A” and ““C” drilled the second recess, Company “B” drilled the fourth period, and Company “D” drilled in the fifth period. During the last term Company “B” drilled at the first recess, Companies “A” and “'C” at the second recess, and Company “D”’ was divided into two parts, one of which drilled during the fourth period and one during the fifth period. We regret very much that only one company is now receiving theoretical instruction. In February Cadet Captain Brandon, of “C” Company, Cadet Lieutenant Ruffin, Battalion Supply Officer, and many enlisted men graduated. 173 SUaDIQ Ladv7) ny THE MARSHALLITE. Wl There were two Cadet Balls this session. The fall hop was held on December 20, and the spring one on April 28, 1921. They were both held at the Jefferson Hotel and were well attended. The Benedictine Military College challenged us to a competitive drill to be held between one of our companies and their company. Company “A” was selected to represent John Marshall since it was the first company off the range. The drill resulted in an unanimous decision in favor of John Marshall. After the drill there was an informal dance. This was the first competitive drill that was ever held between the John Marshall Cadet Corps and another school. “A” Company and its company commander, Captain Shoemaker deserve much credit. The: military year ended in May with the annual government inspection and the competitive drill. The untiring efforts of the officers, the devotion of the enlisted men and the whole-hearted support of the school resulted in our having an organization of which we are justly proud.

Weld Cilibs SERVICE CORPS On October 11, 1920, all the girls of the school met to reorganize the Girls’ Service Corps. Owing to the lack of an Officers’ Training Course in the preceding session, the organization was at first hindered by a scarcity of officers. However, after a few “non-coms” had been promoted, there was a sufficient number of officers for the corps to be divided into fifteen companies. In the first competitive drill, which was held on November toth, Company ‘‘F” won. However, this company was surpassed by Companies “A” and “E” in the second contest. After Mr. Jones had inspected the girls’ heels and urged them to wear low instead of French heels, there was a marked improvement in the drilling. Drill continued until late in January on account of the mild weather. It is earnestly hoped that the corps will increase in size and efficiency in the future. 188 189 THE MARSHALLITE. KRAZY KORNER TIME TO LAUGH Good-bye ye Juniors, Sophs. and Rats, It grieves us much to leave. A sad “Good Bye’’—off go our hats— We laugh—but up our sleeves. We've been to school for four long years, And now our days are through. It’s time to laugh: we've shed our tears, And now the laugh’s on you. PREB AGE These jokes contain sense and nonsense for thick and thin skulls. In some of the deep articles the points are rather obscure.

Did it cure his headache? Miss Jennie, you don’t know how sick I am.” Yes Ido. If you are as sick as you are trying to make me believe you are, you are dead; so clear out. This is no place for dead people.” (Who can put one over on “ Jennie?’’) The Hospital is especially popular when the cadets have to parade or attend a battalion drill. Wanted, by the J. M.

One fine morning a lady came in and asked to see some shirts. Stuart showed all the boxes except one. After looking them over the lady politely said, “I’m only looking for a friend. “Well,” said Trevvett, “Ill look in the other box; perhaps he’s in there.”’ A sweet young thing intended to purchase a shirtwaist from Salesman Stuart. Salesman: “What bust?” Sweet young thing: “I didn’t hear anything.” The shirtwaist sold, our salesman then said, “If you have the right change give it to me; if you haven't give it to the cashier.” Soon this young man left this place of business.

ON LEAVING JOHN MARSHALL When your four years’ journey’s ended and you think, on looking back, Of studies you have flunked on and the books you didn’t crack, And the classes you have tried to skip by visiting the nurse, And marks received on Algebra that couldn't be much worse, And all the notes you copied in old Botany and Zoo, And pranks you played on substitutes you knew you shouldn't do, Of book reports in English on a book you never read, Of red ink on the bandage where your finger never bled, Of the written conversations or exchanging of a smile, (Or perhaps ‘twas just a pencil), with the girl across the aisle, Of the “sick’’ excuse from mother for the dance the night before, Of chalk you threw across the room and mashed upon the floor, Of the placing on the fountain of some unsuspecting rat, And the many sharps in chorus that you purposely sung flat, Of the playing in assembly while the guys across the way Struggled with the “ flying-fishes on the Road to Mandalay,” And of bluffs you pulled in “solid” on the “props.’’ you never knew, And of how you loafed in Spanish when excuses weren't few. Of the holidays you've taken when the fair or circus came, And the barely missed demerits when poor Johnny got the blame— When you think of all these incidents that caused the hours to pass, Spent in idleness and pleasure in a most important class, Do you not regret your laziness and wish that y ou had worked?

The John Marshall Chapter of the Amalgamated Association of Cake Eaters SONG: “We Won't be Home Until Morning.” Motto: We're Woman Haters, we Are—God Bless The Ladies! GAME: African Golf. THE TERM: “Cake Eaters’’ may be unfamiliar to Most of You, but the idea started back when Adam saw that Eve was not Abel to raise Cain properly. Here is the way the John Marshall branch began: A bunch of Nuts one day decided to observe the school regulations and accordingly .beat it for the tall and uncut, when Mike Marrin rang the gong for recess. The storekeeper on Ninth street, who keeps Eggs in profusion, had been doing a big business all day and had nothing left but pies. So the aforesaid Nuts bought : pies. Now, Mr. Fowlke’s spectacles were dusty that Reo day and Mr. Chappell had been inhaling Ether, so the Nuts got away with it. Rushing up the steps to the GCNUINE SPECIMEN OF A HORTO SOMAN ORIOL ION Library, they began devouring the large, round glori- BEITER RNOWN AS A sé A a “CAKE - EATER ous pies, when Miss Dew walked in. “My darling boys,” she said severely, “my dear, precious boys what are you doing here?” Dew tell,” said Selvage, with his mouth half full of pie. “Cake Eaters,”” said Miss Dew, horror stricken. “My darling boys are Cake Eaters.” And now you know, Dear Reader, how it all came about. The Organization has steadily grown until now it includes all the Nuts, African Golf players and Caddies, Near-Nuts, Hangers on, and Bums in general.

KNIGHTS OF THE QUILL As cub reporters, several boys in this sacred institution of learning are bear cats. The bare truth is that we can barely bear what they write. The brightest light in this constellation is the honorable Jimmy Preston Selvage. The unreliability of his newspaper stories would make Baron Mun- chausen seem an apostle of truth and sincerity. Jimmy, who was on the sporting staff, wrote of the eccentricities of that species of humanity designated as © Holy Rollers.” Morris Milner, famous for his “run-ins” with the City Editor, has been a combination society, sports, local and obituary writer for the past two years. The principal source of Morris's information is the local Y. W. C. A. We never could understand why he always stayed around there so much. Probably it was because a certain member of the gentle sex, whose name frequently appeared in all the operetta write-ups, also goes there. Stuart Parrish, known to his intimate associates by the startling cognomen of “Stukey,” swears by the News Leader. Someone who wears eyeglasses says “Stukey’’ has a keen nose for news. Richard Angle, the portly monarch in “Bulbul” has lately been initiated into the mysteries of newspaperdom. If the reader will pardon the geometrical phraseology, if anyone gives Angle a line on a Proposition he always gets the point. Richard's philosophy is built on the premise that a semi-circle is the shortest distance between two points, and he tries to apply this principle to everything he writes. William Goodliffe used to be a noble knight of the pen, but, alas! this is a thing of the past. Here is how it happened. A small boy who was eagerly, perusing the newspaper, said, “Dad, do they have graveyards for automobiles?” “No,” said dad, who was industriously rolling his own, “why do you ask?” The small lad held up a copy of the paper and replied, “Because the paper says: Two autos collided—one killed.’ The matter was duly reported to the Managing Editor with the result that Bill was again sent back to Latin, assemblies, and lunch- counter ice cream. The member of the honorable clan who can use up more space without saying anything than any competitor is Harold Dudley. As president of the Senior Class and a leader in various other school activities Harold has much to report, and, as the cashier of the ““T. D.”’ can testify, he does it. Harold's greatest work was his composition on the Girls’ Service Corps. Allen Cleaton has proved to the school that it is possible to do a little home work, write a newspaper story, entertain a few lady friends, and cover a ball game at the same time. He has not been in the journalistic game any great length of time but has already become famous for telling a newspaper truth about many of the players. 198 WHEN | WAS A KID 1 GOT THIS 1 pee ae eece ne ERIE MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS OF GLASSES |HAVE WorRW | You OUGHT TO BE THANKFULL OUT WORKING ON THE YT AINT THE SECOND PAIR HHAVE YOU.

After four long nerve-racking months spent in the most enviable (7?) occupation of compiling material for the MARSHALLITE, revising it and reading the proofs, the editors breathed a sigh of relief, thanking their stars that at last a well-deserved period of rest had come. All the material at the press at last! But woe is me! Whom do | see approaching with a pained and despairing look? It can’t be Stuart Trevvett, our not long since joyful Business Manager. And why is Beth Faulkner so frantically jerking me along and at the same time talking incoherently of writing something for the ANNUAL? Ah! A bolt straight from the blue! More material! Before us stands Miss Van Vort, majestically commanding that something be composed and contributed at once to fill three more pages of our never-to-be equalled book. Oh, for a suggestion! But first, a place in which to concentrate. A wild dash through the numerous (?) sanctuaries of John Marshall reveals no-place available but the bookroom. “A good place,” says Beth Faulkner, ‘because so many books around us will give us an inspiration.” A sweet smile and a quick explanation obtain permission and the key of the desired place from the Assistant Manager of the Bookroom, who, by-the-way, kindly offered suggestions, unfortunately of no use for the writing of the article. The teaching of concentration for four long years had not gone for naught. We were just wondering how much it would cost to repair the ceiling and floor where our ardent and concentrating gazes burned holes. What was that? Some one speaks! An idea! William Taylor has a sug- gestion in connection with lunatics! We begin to fear the effect of the sudden, depressing news we had so recently received, but no: he seems sane enough. The concentration really is for naught. It bears no fruit. Oh, that | might hear Miss Van Vort’s voice saying, “It’s all right, children, don’t bother any more. The mistake was mine. We have three extra pages instead of three less pages.’ But no; it is not to be. We must write an article and quickly. There, that is the bell for the end of the period, and not a mark have we put on this paper. We really must get to work. “Hullo, folks, how many articles have you written?” says a voice. We look up and see the Assistant Manager of the Bookroom before us. 200 THE MARSHALLITE. Chorus— O, Mr. Deierhoi, give us an idea. We can't think of a thing that will do justice to our intelligence.” “An idea? Impossible! did you ever know me to have one?” says he, and disappears. We are again left alone in a state of indigo, when Beth suggests sending for some members of the staff to see if they might have anything stored away in the back of their heads that they might bring forth. Roy King is the first victim to be sought. He is found half asleep in Mr. Spear’s art class, and dragged to the sanctuary of books and editors. “Tell us something to fill up three pages,’ we command. Oh, if he only can help us! “Pages, pages,’ repeats the student of art, rubbing his sleep-laden eyes. “Say, weren't the Pages in the Operetta cute?’ Hopeless, and nearly half a period is gone! My hat, my brand new hat, for an inspiration! “I have it,’ exclaims William Taylor, excitedly. “The very thing we want in this year's MARSHALLITE is a lengthy discussion on Professor Einstein's Theory of Relativity, although I don’t suppose any one would understand it, for I con- sider it beyond the intelligence of most high school pupils and teachers. It is, however, perfectly comprehensible to me———— ’ This discourse on “the very thing” was interrupted by the agitated entrance of another Assistant Editor, Allen Cleaton. “An idea! An inspiration! I am not going to tell you what it is about until it is finished. Oh, it is marvellous! The MaARSHALLITE will be known the world over by my new composition! Sh! keep quiet, and let me concentrate. After about fifteen minutes of breathless silence, Beth whispers to me that her idea of calling on the Staff for suggestions wasn't working so well after all. “And I have written but one line,’ she moans in my ear. Just at this moment, in walks.Stuart Trevvett. The usual question is put to him. “Why not write on Strawberry Shortcake? I must go to Murphy’s for lunch. Maybe a shortcake will give me an inspiration. See you later.” Exit Stuart. What, Oh, what shall we do? All of a sudden up jumps Allen with his “masterpiece’’ completed. Imagine our feeling when we read the title,’ Vamps and Djer Kiss.” The brains of these helpless, irresponsible seniors! “Dear me!” I exclaim. “Bill, | wish you had some material at home—some you didn't know you had. Trying to write this article is giving me nervous prostration. ” THE MARSHALLITE. “That reminds me,” says Bill, “There is a club write-up that ought to go in this book in my desk at home. We can use that for—oh, I suppose two pages.” “Boy, boy!” shouts Stuart, again bursting unceremoniously upon us. Strawberry Shortcake was surely good, and good news! ought to go in the ANNUAL. . Ehe I found another cut that Hurrah! that makes the three pages, and we won't have to write a thing!” The dignitaries of our worthy institution would have been astonished at the “dance of joy’ that took place just then in the “composing room.”’ } DOPECIMEN NO - (3131313731313 TLACE_ OF HABITATION “LA.MIUERS MODt OF RESTING + FERCHINE ON STOOL IN FRONT GF SODAOUNTER FAYORITE Cart “Gimme ANOTHER MILKSHAKE” 202 THE MARSHALLITE.
