eee SS ee! HERMAN ARMSTRONG “T like him.” It’s what we always hear said when Herman Armstrong is men- tioned. He is justly popular, and there’s not one of us who is not glad to have known him. It is with regret that teach- ers and pupils bid him good-bye. GERTRUDE BAKER If you ever feel blue and want to hear: a good joke, just come to Gertrude. She always has a brand new one on the tip of her tongue. Gertrude has won many friends during her four years at J. M. H. S., and we all wish her success in all her endeavors. LOUIS BRANNAN ARMSTRONG This is the dignified (?) Senior who still puts tacks in his teacher’s chair. Louis is a puzzle. We never know whether to expect a perfect lesson or an “I don’t know” from him. If Louis wants anything he generally gets it. We wish him success in his future career. Patriotic Club. Sergeant, Cadet Corps. Athletic Association. GRETCHEN BAILEY “True to herself, True to her friends, True to her duty always.” True, indeed, has she been in all that she has undertaken. She is the kind of friend we would all like to be; the kind of girl we are glad to number among our friends. May success and happiness follow her always, especially at the col- lege of her choice—Randolph-Macon. Patriotic Club. Athletic Association.

EVELYN ANCELL “Ha-ha!” This is characteristic of Evelyn. You've missed a real pleasure at John Marshall if you have never laughed with “Tittle Bits.’ When she leaves us, we lose one of the gayest Marshallites we have ever known. Pep Club. Athletic Association. WILLIAM HITER ATKINS Hiter is a genuine Marshallite, and taking advantage of this fact we work him almost to death; but being a healthy specimen and a good sport, we know he will survive. As the president of our class he has endeared himself to us all, and in the years to come we shall always remember him as one whose heart was ours and of whose leadership we were proud. President, Class ’23. Second Lieuten- ant, Cadet Corps. Marshallite Staff. Circulation Manager, Record. Historian, Patriotic Club. Athletic Association. President, Debating Club. Debating team. MARTHA APPERSON “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Who would have thought Polonius such an able prophet? ‘We would proudly put Martha up against the old philosopher. Unruffled, teasing to desperation whom she fancies to disturb, she struts her tiny self through her senior year, to find at the rainbow’s end a pot of excellent grades with a host of good wishes to speed her on her way. Vice-President, Girls’ High School Club. Record Staff. Patriotic Club. Athletic Association. ROSE ARENSTEIN Have you ever met Rose, the curly haired imp? You've missed a delightful feature of J. M. if you haven't become acquainted with this young lady. She has the ability to accomplish much.

CAROLYNE BANCROFT A charming bud, reflecting the sunny South and the balmy atmosphere of Ala- bama, has blossomed in Virginia. This is Carrie, of the type for which the South is famous. - When the day of part- ing comes, a ray of joy will leave John Marshall that will not be replaceable. LUCILE BASS When everything seems going wrong And not a thing seems right, Just try your best to do your best And work with all your might. That’s Lucile’s slogan, better known to us as “Lou.” Her ever-ready smile and her pleasant ways have made for her many friends. May Dame Fortune ever be with you, “Lou.” KENDALL BACHE “We have with us to-day’ — Kenny! Without any exception, he is the small- est member of that illustrious body, the class of ’23. He is a regular genius in all kinds of sports. Kenny is leaving us in June, and our best wishes go with him as a “Key-det’” at V. P. I. Cadet Corps. Athletic Association. MARY CATHERINE BELL Meek as are the pansies Crushed beneath the rain; Silent as the snow flakes On the window pane; Modest as the primrose Blushing at the sky; Brilliant as the moonlight When the moon is high. Record Staff. Girls’ High School Club. Patriotic Club. Athletic Association. 25
