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

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.

FRANK K. BATES During his four years at John Mar- shall, Frank has risen rapidly in promi- nence until now everybody knows “Cake” Bates. He has gained the repu- tation of being quite a “heartbreaker,” and frequently, as he passes by, you hear the girls heave a deep sigh and murmur, “Tsn’t he the best looking thing?” Bates is a fine sport, and we hate to lose him. Athletic Association. Battalion Supply Sergeant, Cadet Corps. Assistant Man- ager, Basketball Team ’23. FRANCES BELT Some folks possess both quality and duantity. This is true of Frances. She is that tall, athletic girl often seen stroll- ing down the hall dressed in the latest style. She is a noted swimmer, and we know that if she swims through life with as much ease as she does in the river, her future is assured. J. M. hates to lose you, “Boots’’! Pep Club. Athletic Association. WORTHAM BELL Four years ago there stumbled into the halls of John Marshall—‘Skinny”! He’s been making a record for himself in va- rious ways ever since, but especially is he famous for piling up our basketball scores.. We'll always remember him; too, as being the composer of that well known song, “Mary Had a Little Class of 1923.” “Skinny,” you’re leaving us with our sincerest wishes for a brilliant career. Basketball Team ’21-22; ’22-23. Base- ball Team ’22. Athletic Association. Monogram Club. MABEL BENTON Here it comes! Whizz! There it goes! What? Oh, that’s just Mabel in her speeding Hun. She may have been quiet at old J. M., But out at Glen Allen—ahem! She’s got the spirit, the dash and pep; In church work, also, she’s made a fine “rep.” Congratulations to Mabel from the old home town; Forward in the world to fame and renown!
