Probablj ' the line in which she mo.st excels is singing. She is one of the choir leaders, and seldom fails to occupy her position of prominence u]ion the platfonu. But perspective draAv- ing is her chief pastime. She spemis all her afternoons in sketching either houses or chairs. 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. If you desire any infonnation or news just go to Ruby and you will hear it straight. She is all that her name implies, the most precious and valuable of friends. 21

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
