Mix a bundle of personality, a sparkling smile, two cups of sweetness, good humor, and brains, sprinkle with a touch of sincerity and a dash of vim and vigor; stir in good looks, a car, and many admirers; cook in a 5’ 4” frame until out pops our favorite dish, “Miss A.” All these traits will make a wonderful nurse of our one and only Pat. EDGAR REUBEN BARE “Buddy” Latin Club, 8, 2; Library Club, 8, 1; Monogram Club, 3, 4; Football, 3, 4; Class President, 8; Class Vice President, 3; Honor Court, 2, President, 4; Chemistry Club, President, 4; CRYSTAL Staff, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 3; Hall of Fame, 4. Scholastic, athletic and social ability are not often found together, but Nature made an exception in Buddy. He is the pride of the Class of 50 and all the teachers. With all of his activities, he still has time to bestow gallant attentions upon the ladies—local and nearby. With your many capabilities, we are sure that you will succeed at V. M. I. Good luck, Buddy! JAMES MATTHEW BEARD “lim”? limmie” “Beerjounski” Glee Club, 8, 4; Athletic Club, 8, 1; Arts and Crafts Club, 1; Secretary- Treasurer of Student Body, 4; Executive Committee, 4; Forensic Club, 3. If you want to hear the latest joke or get the data on some gal in any of the neighboring towns, just ask Jimmie. Besides being quite a lady’s man (especially with a certain N. C. blonde), Jimmie has taken part in other activities, namely: serving as Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Body. We will miss his friendly smile and greeting but wish him a safe voyage to success. MARGARET MAE BEETON Mae’ Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Dilettante Club, 8, 1, 2; Glee Club, 8, 1; “Patience,” LSP) Our one and only Spanish beauty whose whole being seems to radiate with kindness, happiness and all those things which make up a charming personality is none other than Mae. She has had more than her share of the “V. M. I. Spirit” and “W. and L. Swing,’ but is always at her best when she is “seeing Red.” With your many capabilities and conscientious ways, may you walk into the hearts of all at Mary Washington as you have into ours.

Although “Edie’’ seems quite reserved and dignified, she is a live wire when you know her. As a good, conscientious student and a first-rate guard on the basketball team, she is praised by both students and teachers. However, her school days have not been filled with “larning” alone, because ‘Edie’ has taken an active part in extracurricular affairs and still has time for dating at home and elsewhere. “Au Revoir,’ Edithe.

LELAND GUINN BELL “Leland” “Ber Library Club, 8; Arts and Crafts Club, 1; Chemistry Club, 4. Who is the boy who stands in the downstairs hall at lunch period helping the girls with their chemistry? Why, that’s Leland. His desire to help, his winning smile, and reserved manner make him a favorite with teachers and classmates. His interest in physics, geometry and chemistry will follow him at V. M. I. next year as he studies engineering. Your determination will bring you success, Leland. NORA PAULINE BENNINGTON “Polly” Preneainnmie hy bt A. 12.5) By A. RR: 1,02. 3, A radiant smile, good nature, and a winning personality characterize Polly. Although small, she has everything it takes to capture the hearts of fellow students. You may be sure that Pauline is always “engaged” in something, and if you don’t believe it, just look on her left hand. Oh well, I don’t suppose people take four years of Home Ec for nothing! Here’s wishing her a world of luck and happiness. HOUSTON WARD CHILDRESS “Buddy” “Chick” Latin Club, 1, 2; Football, 2; Class Secretary-Treasurer, 2. Zoom! That light green streak that just flew around the block was only Chick in his Chevrolet. Although his car is always bulging, Buddy has never refused anyone a ride or any other favor he or she might ask. Buddy’s jolly laugh, jocular personality and funny stories have won him countless friends at L. H. S. and the favor of his teachers. The entire class wishes you good fortune, Chick. KENTON GARWOOD CHITTUM “Kenton” “Leefus’ “Little Chipmunk” Industrial Arts Club, 1; Library Club, 4. Friendly, happy-go-lucky Kenton comes to us from the countryside (Kerr’s Creek). He is a whiz in Industrial Arts so look out girls (especially a certain sophomore) if you are thinking in terms of pretty furniture. We know, Leefus, with your splendid personality you will go far in this world. Good luck to a great guy! 4 9 fe
