ANDERSON “A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle and waylay. Yes, that’s a realistic description of Mildred, the irrepressible. Every one who either knows or has seen Mildred immediately labels her “original.” Best luck to you, dear, and here’s hoping there will one day be a famous poet from | class of 724.

recall those “chorus girls” and that hero? Just at this point is a very good opportunity to express just a small portion of our thanks for all that Miss Harris did to help us, even if her dates did take her away sometimes. When the weather became warm again, our picnic to Falling Creek by boat was engineered very successfully: financially, socially, enjoyably, and ap- petizingly speaking. On this occasion we missed ‘‘Styx’’ sorely, but since Anne was present, no fun was lacking. We spent the day boating, swim- ming, eating, and having a fine time generally, and everyone who could waited for the second trip of the boat to return to Richmond. At the Senior election we again chose as President, ‘Styx,’ who had returned to John Marshall. Our first event, a contemplated fall picnic, became a spring event, but we gave a dance instead. We entertained the Hampton Football Team, and since the score of the game had been 0-0, our feelings toward each other were amiable. Popcorn balls and punch featured in this also. In football we had a King: Burke, who also ruled supreme as Santa at the Faculty Christmas Tree. Mary Alice and Nellie showed such ability as teachers that it might even be advisable for them to take up the profession. Many balls were given by the Cadet Corps, at which our admirable Captain and Commandant, Ed. Franklin, presided. By using a little of Mr. Givens’ pet trigonometry, you could find the exact location of ‘“Gawky,” and invariably (or inversely Mr. Givens would say), you would find Julia no farther off than a logarithm. Our idea of having individual class stationery was another one of those “taking” projects. We were the first class to adopt this and also the first to have a Junior repre- sentative on the Marshallite Staff, a custom which will help the following class a great deal in making up the Marshallite for ’25. The athletic career of this class hardly needs to be pointed out, as it is already so prominent in our minds. As this goes to press, we are anticipating several important occasions: Senior Class Night, the Senior Picnic, the school play, and the Grand Finale—Graduation Night. “The play is done; the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter’s bell: A moment yet the actor stops, And looks around to say farewell. It is an irksome word and task; And, when he’s laughed and said his say, He shows, as he removes the mask, A face that’s anything but gay.” ear cer T TTTTTITTTVT UT NNLAETDGATAUOUDUOLULOAAUASSAHS AND Ml tli AUTHUUOUSSUOUGNONETSUUUAOO NARA HHH) IMI: Che Warshallite MMMM MMMM

26 MARGARET FRANCES BAKER “Silence is golden.” And so it is. Foolish words some- times make enemies of our best friends. Margaret is quiet. She has quite a re- straining influence, too, that makes her invaluable to her more talkative friends. All of us can talk, Margaret, but few have discovered the secret of silence, and “silence is golden.” Athletic Association; Girls’ High School Club; C. O. D. Club; French Soctety. CISUNISIL{OVIT INE, VANITIES Tall, graceful, and dignified, Char- lotte moves about us like a queen. A l- though she is considered very quiet, you should just see her whenever there is a good story or joke to be told. Her work as Chairman of the World Fellowship Committee of the Girl Reserves has been invaluable. Just ask the Chinese! Athletic Association; Girls’ High School Club. BRANCES BATES Jollity and optimism are I rances’ two chief characteristics. In the merry heart, which has won so many friends in her sojourn at John Marshall, she carries the secret of perpetual youth. Here are our sincerest good wishes for you in the future. Athletic Association; Senior Spanish Society. CHARLES MERWIN BRANCH (“Buck”) Sila eeu OtGaEn thatssmumeMD clade Buck's ready wit and cheery smile have made him quite popular and gained him a host of friends. By “bucking” the line hard, Charles has finally reached the goal at which every Marshallite aims— graduation. Athletic Association.
