24 ELIZABETH ADAMS BOGGS This sunbonnet maiden from the King George wild, The wee, tiny hours with Vegil beguiles, (The moral’s here for the fast little Miss— With Vergil it’s safe to do even this!) But her greatest accomplishment is not ancient lore (Even Vergil is sometimes a horrible bore!) It’s her laugh—it causes adorable wrinkles To wreath her tipped nose while her bright eye twinkles. Girls’ Hig h School Club. FRANCIS BOISSEAU Among the accomplishments of this husky lad may be mentioned his adroitness in juggling figures in the science of mathematics; also his readiness to tender aid to his friends. He always comes up smiling and has a kind word for everyone. He is a cheerful student and loyal to all of his classmates. Francis has made many friends at John Marshall. Here's good luck to you, old boy! Athletic Associatian. MONTELLE BOISSEAU John Marshall has had many students, And one it knows very well— A friend ever willing and ready, A Marshallite —that is Montelle. The best of luck we wish you, And happiness that will last, Success in all that you may do And friendship, strong and fast. Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club, Patriotic Club. KATHERINE BOOKER The cauldron bubbles; school spirit is in the making, but there seems to be something lacking in the flavoring. The elves try the various spices, and, finding the absence of “pep,” they decide to use the best brand, which comes in a medium sized, bobbed-haired package, labeled “Katty.” The taste is now satisfactory; it is that of the spirit of ‘22. Pep Club.

THE MARSHALLITE. REED BLANTON I know a girl by the name of Reed; When she studies, she makes great speed! She is so bright, she needs no lantern For you to see her name is Blanton. Some call her by the name of “Snooks,”’ She's a bright girl, too, when it comes to books. Her “sails are set”’ for Charlottesville; So look out, boys; she smiles to kill. VIRGINIA ALLEN BLANTON “In vain I search for a way to begin. To say the things we all would say Try to enumerate all her qualities and accomplishments? It’s an impossibility! Besides we all realize she’s the best of friends and admire her work—not men- tioning her mental capacity. But— This is the way that I would end: May you always be prosperous and happy, dear friend. Girls’ High School Club, Reporter Patri- otic Club, Athletic Association. NATHAN BLOOM Always modest, full of fun, And a friend to everyone. If Nathan could master his lessons as he does the art of “cake-eating,’ he'd be a genius. We have no doubt that he is always present when the “Royal So- ciety of Cake-Eaters”’ holds a meeting. Although he doesn't “shine” in his work, he always manages to “get by.” Well, Nathan, here’s hoping that you will make as many friends at college as you have at high school. EDNA-BEUNT “Oh, I went to the cutest dance last night, and I met , and then Edna will unfold a yarn which would rival the work of a Homer or the sermon of a puritanical parson in its length. Though too human, good-natured, and likable to be over-efficient or worldly wise, she is brainy and clever enough to take her place with the best of them in more than one kind of endeavor.

DOROTHY WALTERS BOOTH Between the showers of the spattering ink and the noise of the scratching quill we, at times, have the opportunity of giving our ever industrious Associate- Editor of both MarsHALLitE and RecorD fame, the “once-over.’ Welittle know whether the future holds for her success in the art of Terpsichore, or the graver garb of the judge’s bench, but she may be assured of success in either. Athletic Association, Girls’ High School Club, Patriotic Club, Associate-Editor of ReEcorD, Associate-Editor of MARSHALLITE, Basketball Team 2c—'21, Captain Basket- ball Team ‘22. JAMES BOWERS, Jr. He is bashful; he is shy; But there is mischief in his eye. This is Jimmie; although he is quiet, he has many friends, and is always ready to join in anything proposed. And bright!!—my word!—but anyone who has been in his classes knows that. Athletic Association, Patriotic Club. ALICE LEE BRADSHAW Blue eyes and dimples—that’s Alice. Alice possesses talent for music; who is it that isn't charmed by her playing and singing? Such a girl as Alice succeeds, but at any rate you will always have our best wishes to back you up. Girls’ High School Club, Athletic Associ- ation. HANNAH L. BREITSTEIN This picture may do justice to Hannah's physical charm, but cannot depict the bright mind. Her rapid progress in school will testify to that fact. We feel that her life will be a success whatever her chosen vocation may be. THE MARSHALLITE. 25
