In fact, she has the habit of running — which way? — when a man :i|iiiears on the scene of action. The reason for this is probably owing to the fact that she has bestowed all lier affections on the only male member of the Senior Class.

A striking eha.r- ucteri-lie of hers is, that she likes even the most despised persons when with them. FLORENCE DUNEEATH ACREE Lykciibukg, Virginia Cler Club. lilOT; Secretiiiy of Y. W. C. A..

ANNIE JLYRY BABB Ivor, Virginia Here is the little class Quakeress, possess- ing some of the Quaker characteristics, also lacking in a few. Instead of waiting for tlie spirit to move her she usually moves the spirit. Annie is veiy quiet and studious, fond of literature: in fact she simply pours o er Pancoast ' s American. She was ne -er known to get crazy over a girl. Her way of expressing herself is so nnicli milder than that, as, I like her so much, or She is a very sweet girl. Annie is veiy ambitious and we are sure she will become an excellent and renowned school-teacher. We think she mil remain a maiden teacher, since she is very frank in her answers, and, too, she has such a Stonr heart. 19 (LAKA ISAltTdX XdKKOI.K. ' lK(iIMA Atheiiiiui UteiHi-v Soi-icty.

We think Ruby has a decided tal- ent, and we are glad to see her make the most of it. Her memory is really remark- able.

Virgini.v riiere are few wlio do not know of the world-wide fame of Colonel Bland, who entered the class in the fall of 1905, as a graduate of the West Point Public Scliool. Her success as a Nonnalite reached its climax wlien she entered the Training School, where she became assistant to her supervisor. Long ago she would have home- ward plodded her weary way had it not l)een for lier ardent affection for the fifth grade. Court-martials were not known to the Colonel; as her class was mainly com- posed of boys, a private reprimand was most frequently used. Her success is large- ly attributed to her imdaunted faith in her motto, which was — Never do to-day that which can be ] ut off until to-morrow. 22 ELIZABETH BRUCE BROOKE C ' UM ' El ' ER, ViKGINIA ■ ' Governor of the State Noniial; Ar.yiis Literary Society; Devotional Coniniittep cif V.

A glance at her would c invini-e you that she is a pliable, amiable, little creature, but, She is not what she seems. L ' nder that calm exterior lies a Hery. combative nature, which especially shows itself when woman ' s suflfrage is being argued, for she is an enthusiastic sirffra- gette and a firm believer in the equality of the sexes. That far-away look, as if jjeering into the future, is the result of long ]danning for the many reforms she is going to work in her school. She is very scepti- cal ini the subject of love, and a firm ad- iicate of marriage on a business basis, hut she takes the greatest pains to see the beatrx as they pass through the reception hall on Simday nights. 30 HENRIETTA ESTELLE HALL Xkwi ' ort News, Vikmnia Atlieiiiaii Lilcrary Sooietv ; News Re- porter. 1!MI!I-III: Treasurer, UUO; (Jlee Cluli.

Although she has always been a steady (?) worker since she lias been with us. there is one line in which she has not yet succeeded, but her motto, is. we believe, Try, tiy again, for at all times of the day her melodious voice is heard on the halls hrunming words if not tunes. Why she is not a member of the Glee Club we are uiahle to say. Carrie ' s besetting sin is having her palm read. She seems somewhat dissatisHed when they all tell her the same story ( r).

Her highest ambition was to teach Englis ' i in the Training School, yet when the time came this was in some way replaced by music. We are all glad this change took place, for otherwise we should never have heard those delightful solos which we have enjoyed this year.

As the scene shifts we see a timid little girl enter the Normal. She conies from beyond the Burnt Woods of Buckingham, so famous for its beavsc jeiines homines. She was very quick to grasp things, and especially so if they happened to be dis- eases, as she was not satisfied until she had exhausted the catalogue or they had. at any rate, exhau.sted her. ' ividly do we recall her form as she bent low over her book trying to fathom the depths of amo, amas, amat. After such persistent efl ' ort we do hope she will at least master A-Mott. Through all these trials she had faithful Crawley friends and, feasting upon Rice, she finally attained to the position of a dignified tenclier. EDNA SYDNOR PATTIE Frkdkrkkisiro.

In her school career she has been among Fates ' favored ones, for her teachers — especially the gen- tlemen — have been endowed with graces be- yond the highest hopes of ordinary men. Their fascinating personalities, their marvel- ous kindness and their amiable dispositions liave been the constant burden of her song. Ill tlie Training School she won all hearts, and the bad boys, whom others dreaded, were to her the sweetest children who ever lived. We prophesy a successful career for her as one of Virginia ' s teachers, unless her warm and loving nature leads her, as we fear it soon will, into the flower-strewn paths of matrimony. LILLIAX BLANCHE PURYEAR FAKRINtiTOX. ViRGIXIA Lillian entered the Junior Class in 1907, as a graduate of Ashland High School, but was compelled to leave on account of the measles; thus we gained her as one of our classmates. One of the greatest trials she has to con- tend with is her name, which she has de- cided to change as soon as possible, as it seems impossible for one member of the faculty to pronounce it, even after he has divided it into syllable and struck out the y . That she is a great favorite among tlie children is shown by the way Miss I ' ryear floats upon the air, no matter which way she turns. Her one great failing is — potato chips. Indeed, is this failing so well known by all, that the clerks rush for them as soon as she enters the door, and they never fail to please her.

In spite of her talent for music and harmony, and her love for Manual Training, she says she can ' t draw and there is no use to try. However, she realizes now that her prophecy was wrong, for she can draw a straight line really well. Elizabeth is a sincere girl, and we prophesy for her a successful future.

During this year she has sliowii a remarkable fondness for the Training School work, especially gardening ( ?). But her chief ambition is to excel in story telling and some of her teachers actually insist that she should practice this. Slie loves her own county, Patrick, and the people of that county better than all otliers.

CATHERINE HETH TAYLOR Richmond, Vikgixia Sigma Sigma Sigma; Athenian Literary Society, Vice-President A. L. S.. 1909: Cotillion Club. This little bunch of curiosity slipped into the Normal in 1906 as quietly as a mouse — and as quiet as a mouse she is to this day. But tho ' she is quiet, she is deep, awful deep; and wilful, awful wilful. It is a mystery how this little piece of humanity can make a point and stick to it. Her most striking characteristic is her absolute trustworthiness, and on this account we venture to say this little head and heart contain more secrets of other folks than any other one person in the Normal School. Here ' s long life to lier, and may her one wish come true — may she soon forget what single blessedness is. 34 MARY ELIZABETH TAYLOR Miller .School, Albemarle Couxty, ViKGINIA t ' dncspciiuliiig Secretary Argus Literary Society, 11)118-09-10; President Argus Lit- erary Society, 1909; Art Editor Guiiloii, 1909-10; Dramatic Club, 1909-10; Glee ( lul.. 1!I0S-0!I-10; Skimmers ' ' leiiiiis Club. 1909 10; Art Editir Class Book. 1910; (iiftoriaii Class. 1910.

She was never known to have a case until she had safely sailed through the Training School, when she became a darling angel.

This statciiiciit is certainly tnic of the first years of a ehiss. Every chiss goes thmiiiih ])ractically the same experiences during the first years at si-hi.ol and, in tliis respect, the Class of I ' JIO is no exception to the rnle. Although it has l.)een a perilous march, licsct (ju cvci ' y side by obstacles and difficulties since we first set out on the roail to kudwledoe, yet we find that not nniiiy i f cnir ninii1)( r have 1( serted us, and a good many of the original memlicrs of old I ' .ild are still with us. And in addition, mii- ranks hax ' e been reraiforeed by the high sidiool graduates, the new .Inniors. whom we gladly welcomed into our class last year. It was with this united force that our class began to make itself felt and to accomplish those things which distinguished it from other classes. To begin with, never sin ' e the sidiool was founded u|) to the present day has the Class of T.)U been ((pialled in one respect at least — that of numbers. We had one hundred and fi ' e iiiemlici ' s on oiir .Funior Class roll and of that nundicr we now ha -e eighty-eight uieud)ers in line for graduation, the largest S( nioi- ( ' lass on i ' ecor l. The Class of 1910 is not only a erv large one, but it is also one that has accomplished some things which will lea -e their uuirk on the life of the school. As Juniors, we introduced the honor system and have been gratified to see its good results ; as Seniors, we are striving toward self-gOA ' ernnient and, while we ourseh ' es can only see it in its beginning, we feel that we have c inipetcnt and symjiathetic su]i]iortcrs in the mcndiers of the next year ' s Senior Class by whom we hope to see the movement diligently and successfully carried forward. In reading the noteworthy events of our Junior year, we would not f ' cu ' gct the Junior-Senior Keception, one of the most nu ' niorable cx-ents of our Junior year. This custom was instituted by the Junior Class just before us, and it has done a great deal towards fostering a spirit of good will among the u]i])er classes, so that now its occasion affords one of the most enjoyable cxcniugs of the school y ' ai ' . Among the most delightful social events of our Senior year was a party given by the members of the Senior ( ' lass for the ])nri)Ose of making statistics. Our president, Ruth Iicdil, the most jiopnlar girl of our class, as well as the best all-roimd stuilent, acted as hostess, assisted by our ] rettiest and most attractive girl, Emma Stajjles. The enjoyment of the evening was greatly added to by the presence of Kva Walters, Julia Johnson, and Aileen Poole, our wittiest, most intellectual, and most original mendiers. The Class of 1910 is very uni iue: we are the first class to have regular organized ]iolitical ]iarti{s with all the machinery of the state l)oliticians. No one can deny the ability of our leaders either, after having listened to E. T . IJrcxiks, snccessfid Democratic candidate for the gubernatorial chair, on the abolition of home de])artment notes, more waists in the laundry, excusing gym classes in the spring, etc., or to the eiitbnsiastic s]ii_ ' t ' clies of L.

W( have taken an active ] art in a lmost ' Verv jijiase of the school life. We lia -e been well re]ire- si iitecl in athletics. We lia ( ' many standard bearers in the Young Women ' s Christian Association. We have furnished a very large number of girls to the literary societies and to the Guidon Staif, for the Glee Club and the Dramatic ( ' In)) as well. We have also develojied some noteworthy story writers and poets. While we ha ' e met with many trials and ha ' e had to surmount many difficulties since we 1ii-st came to the Xornial School, we realize that these have been far outiiumberi ' il by the joys ami pleasures of oiir ha]i]iy school life, and so it is with a feeling of sadness that we now come to say good-bye. As the time draws near for ns to receive our diplomas, we realize more than e -er that ve can ne -er repay our Alma Plater for all she has gi ' en ns ; but it is a ]ileasnre to know that she asks only that this debt be paid in gratitinle, gratitmle shown by living noble lives, lives ordered by those high ideals of truth and service which, she has e -er held up to us.

Alice in Wonderland (Continued) ALICE sat (in the rim of the fduiitaiii ami ij;azc(l ilnwu intd the cvvstal waters. l Wonder if this water is liood tn drink f tli innht she. ' ■I believe I ' ll try it. She leaned dnwn, cauaht simie in her hand and was aliniit to drink when her attention was arrtsted hv a refleetidn in the fimntain, that should ha -e lieen familiar, hut that seemed wonderfnJly stranii ' e. That should be the back yard of tlie .Xoi ' uial Sidiool, Imt it ean ' t be, for there is a beaiitifnl lawn eoveriuji acres and acres and all those trees and fountains and flowers — I jnst Ixdieve I ' ll go and see what it is. In another moment Alice jumped lightly down into the foimtain. I ' he ' erv first thing she did was to look for signs that would identify the Normal. She found herself in a most perfect ])ark with the most per- fect drives she had ever seen. She walked on and on till she was so tired she conld hardly move, and was really about to gi -e ui the search for familiar sights when away off in the distance she saw olijects moving. She hastened on and soon came to a ])lot beautifully laid off in zigzag beds about twenty by twenty feet, one of which contained one flourishing bunch of onions; another, a ra lish and one linnch of lettuct ' ; and the remaining twenty, a big cm]) of (dods, twine and stakes. This looks like our school garden, thought Alice. l!ut where are the children V She had hardly spoken when she heard a (datter of footste])s, and dull thuds as if two pieces of wood were being knocked together. She looked around, and. at first sight, it looked as if a whole yard of blocks were moving toward her, bumi)ing and knocking each other un- ijiereifully. On closer inspection, each block took on imliviilual char- acteristics with body, hands, and feet of its own. and examining th( ni Alice recognized immediately the .S .r ( Grddc. This nmst be the Xormal School, but thei ' i ' was nnigic in the air. She wandei-cil on and jiresently there came to her cars the sounds of a silvery bell in the distance. She folb.wed this and before long reached a huge graystone building nioi-e magniflcent than anything she had ever dreamed of. Something about it reminded her of the old Auditorium, and it must be the place for chajxd, for there was a perfect hubbub of voices inside and girls were pouring in from all directions. Alice stepped inside and now there was no doubt in her mind; there in one corner the ceiling was falling down, and here on this side about a quarter of the building was taken uji by seaft ' olding. Alice turned to a girl near her and aske l who was to conduct the exercises, for none of the Faculty was there. 77 Oh, we have ma lc an iiiipi ' dvemeiit on the old exercises. We nii ' et here for fifteen minutes every morning, and if the Faculty doesn ' t come we spend the time talkine: to gain social ejficiency. We haven ' t missed a moi ' uing yet. and really we arc getting to be artists in that hue. x s Alice left chaiiel and jiasscd thnmgli the hall, she glanced in at the President ' s office Tln ' rc st 1 the Head of x v II mie relating grave eases of miscou Uict on ilic ])ai-t of the girls; there sat the President, his cigar in his month. com|ilctcly ahsorhed in his ])a]ier, while ah instrument on the order of a ■ii-a]iho])hone was doing his talking. Perfect contentment. thought Alice, and passed on. Presently she thoniiht of n- (ild friend, the Director of the Train- ing School, and ont of ]inre curiosity she went to his office to see if, in this land of ]ilienomena] (diauges. he could really lie doing his o- vn work. Eut instead of the directin- she found two girls working as if their life depended on it. What are you writing, girls? Why, we are writing a liook on ludixidnal Differences for the Doct(U-, wearily answereil tlie girls. ne ' cr looking u]i. But where is the Pivd ' essor r asked Alice, llax ' e you no work of your own to do ? The Professor? Why he iloesu t have time for even such a small thing as classes now. lie is oliliged, for the advancement of the race, to he with the lio s on the ] hiyground and show them stunts in the o]ien-air g innasinm. As for ' ) ■ intrJ,-. we can do that at fotir o clock in the morning ! Alice felt too sorry for these girls to stay any longer. She hurried on to Room I. where slu ' used to lo e to go. Here the room was packed with gii ' ls. who sat lireathless, with rapt ex])ressious on their faces, while a classmate hefore them was making a stump speech on Woman Sutfrage. ' ' Why is this ' Alice whispered to some one near the door. Isn ' t this education ]ierii d ( Oh. Kducatioii is a thing of the jiast with ns, was the reply. The future of the race lenKinds that our jirofessor give his time to the chdi downtown, whei ' e the men nuiy go and be free from their homes. We gladly let him i o on condition that all of us get E-|- on our term ' s work. Stiddenly Alie ' heard a very shrill whistle, and then a hurrying of footsteps as if a midtitude of people were rushing for life. She ex- citedly asked the girl next to her what was going on, but had to yell at the to]i of her -oice to be heai-d alio ' the uproar. You must have just come. saiil the girl. That is the fire drill in the Training School. Every morning in the week is taken up teach- ing the dear little blockheads how to save their lives in ease of fire. But when do the children go to school ? asked Alice. Go to s(diool ! Vou jiooi- sim])le idiibi ! 1 )on t you know that I ' hildren no longer go to school to learn to read, write, and spell? The j child gets this snperlicial culture as l.cst he can. Whal he Icanis ikiw is the gentle art of gardening, and the ditticnlt art of jilaying. We need I only the afternoons fur this. I T declare things are almost unrecognizalile, thought Alice. j lint there were greater snrpi-ises yet in store lor her. ■: She looked at her watch and saw thai it was alnio.st time for the i English ]ieriod. so she sanntered on toward Koom 0. When she reacheil the lilirary hall she lieheld strangv sij lifs. E -ery girl who enteri ' d the library had a liandage tied o er her month. .Mice saw the familiar sioii I Silence o -er the docu ' . Imt hearing sti-ange noises on the inside jteepeil .. in to see what could he going on. There at the desk was an iron knocker ! iieating automatically and regularly to I ' emind the gagged girls to he I quiet. While o er in the coi ' ner the librarian and six library assistants li were busy co])ying on typewriters. The noise was unbearable, so Alice hastened on to English. Could i she lielie ' e her c yes There sat evei ' v gii ' l iu that room clothed in a miildy blouse and gym shoes, chewing gum, and using the most perfect slang. ij What on earth does this mean ? ask ' d Alic ' . ; This means we are having a luilly g 1 lesson in free exprea- siiiii. ma chere. re])lied a ]iert young nnss. We ha ' e not yet been I able to ])ersuade our instructor to join us. but vc will some day. We are I working wonders here, though. We have at last pei-snadcd the Head (jf the Vrt l)e]iartment to roll up hei- sleeves and turn her blouse in at the neck, and she is so jileased with it she will a])] ear no other way. And ii ' c are doing it, the gii-ls are doing it ! ' oll know we have student government here, now, and the Eacnlty just has to fall in line and do what we say. At the next l)asket-ball game we expect to ha -e everybody — e -en the heads if the fath. Eangnage. English and Art 1 )e] artnients — wearing either a middy blouse or a sweater. Oh, you student go -ern- ment ! The gii-1 might ha -e gone (ju fore -er, but at that minuti ' a bell sounded and e -erybody made a mad rush downstaii-s. She followed and found that it was dinner time. Alice stood back surprised and horritied. Each girl rushed in, snatched u|i a san lwich and hurried out. The noise was deafening, but a little vciice couhl be hearil now and then saying: Literary Society — meet — 4:o0 — Room . ' ' Ts dinner always like this asked Alice timidly. Of course, re])lied a student near. Do you su]ii)ose ire would spend our precious time eating when we could be learning something useful ' ? And. besides, this does away with the blind excusi ' at the infirmary — that we ' ve eaten too muidi when we get sick. They must now look for the real caitse. Lou shoulil be here at su|i])er time. We correlate supjier and the Human Nature Study Class. Iluunui Xature Study 1 excdaimed Alice in sur])rise. Yes, inileed. the most important thing in the whole currictdum.

Having spoken to Ir. Tomjikins and the two children (mv future ]in]iils they soon informed me), [ settled myself for a ride of fi ' ' miles. A host oi ' idiildren ran ont to meet ns as ' Mv. Tomjikins called otit, •■Wlioap. in fi-out of a small farm house. Ihaiieni leering that I had always heai ' d that the way to make ])atrons like yon was to jn-aise their ehildri ' n, 1 started in on the little Tom|)kinses. Irs. Tompkins was delighted that 1 was so ideased with them. She had alway done her Ix ' st hy the last nine of them; if they weren ' t liiauig n]) I ' ight. it c(]uldu ' t be laid n]) against her. PJefore she finished lier account 1 was weh versed hi the history of all nine of them — how .Tacoh had nearly died with the measles, and Lucius had fallen through tlie laths in the attic, not only breaking a nnmher of his hones, hut also almost ruining the house, ilany were the diseases they had had. and ewu more numerous w( re the accidents. At sn]i])er. .Mr. T(un]ikius told me of a wonderful ]ilan that the peo]de of I.awsons had formed for the new tcacdier. I was t i stay around at the different neighliors for a week at a time. In place of pay- ing Ixiard I was to give ninsic to the (diihlr-n. Of -onrse I could [)lay Having had it well drilled into my head thai ahove all things a teai ' her should he a social force, T stamnicred ont -i-s. The next UKirning I started out bright and cai ' ly for sidiool. The walk was about a half mile. On the way over, I be Tomiikins children entertained me with stories of the last teaidiei-. From all accounts she must have had a dreadful time. Poor thing! 1 was beginning to .sympathize with her already. The school building was a modest one, made of logs. The benches, extending from one end of the room to the other, w ' re rude and hard. There was a loftv stool in the front of the room — my seat. The sun eaiiw in tliiMiiiih ciily ime wiinlow. wliicli was iiavtly patchcrl with leaves of ol.leopy books. There was im liell to ainiouiK ' e school hours, hut having been al- ready iiistriieteil by lary Toniiikiiis, I took down the horn from the shelf and blew loinl and lonii ' . It was not lonii ' before the ehildren eanie rnunini; in. Such a crowd of them! They seemed to be clad conifortably. bnt with no ji ' oddess of fashion to dictate the color or shajie of their garments. I had never seen sncli ipieer costumes as some of tlu ' m wore. The crucial moment had come. All ex])erienced teachers claim that children, from the first, realize which is to be master, they or the teacher. Whai conld 1 do to show them that T. and not they, shonld rule? Take your seats. 1 commanded in a severe tone. We ain ' t got no seats. ' ' You may sit anywhere this morning. Such a scrand)li ' ' nsHe(l. There seemed to l e a few choice seats whicdi all wante(l. and conse(|nently everyone tried to get them. Then came the ordeal of chapel. We ' ve never sung in school before, ' ' Last teacher just started right in with the lessims, and many such remarks followed. How could T make them sto]) talking! Oh. a bright idea flashed through my mind! I ' ll take names — that always worked like a charm in the Training Scdiool. To my utter bewilderment T found that I did not know a single on ' of the ott ' enders. Well, it didn ' t matter much, anyway; there was no sn|iervisor to hand the names to — times had altered. The first ve.xed ])roblem was to ari ' anue the classes. Instead of teaching the fourth lii-ade, as 1 had expecteil, 1 found that I had children of all grailes. from llii ' kinderi;arten to the hiiih school. 1 pondered a long while over the situation. Finally remendii ' ring The Child and the Curriculum I had ]iaid e(| away so carefully in my tiaink, I ileeidcd to stiuly it before gradin-: my s(diool. . lreaily I found that there were a gi-eat many lessons in Methods and ianagement 1 ha l not probably learned.

But ]iatience — T must not desjiair so soon. I still luul hopes — for pride attends us still — Amidst these swains to sliow my book-learned skill.
