Kid — An appropriate name for one so young; and 3 ' et so young? In age, yes; in experience — well she has had enough of it to make her mighty independent, and plentifully able to take care of herself. Then too, she has even been in love. Kid hates flattery, so we can ' t put anything very nice in this write-up for fear she ' 11 mistake it for that, but, on the sly, take it from one who knows her as only room- mates know each other, she is a mighty fine girl. ANNIE BEOADDUS ALLEN RICHMOND, VA. Corresponding and Recording Secretary of Eichn ond Club, 1915; Kodak Club. Oh, why that winning smile and mis- chievous twinkle of merry dark eyes? Be- cause, more hearts are won by smiles than this world dreams of — and besides, Annie just could not help it if she should try. ALICE MOOEE AEMSTEONG PORTSMOUTH, VA. Gamma Theta; 11 A; Cotillion Club Athenian Literary Society; D. L E. K. 0. H. E.; President Kodak Club, 1915-16 Love Set Tennis Club; Portsmouth Club Music Committee Y. W. C. A.

President Eichmond Club, 1914; Trea- surer Eichmond Club, 1915; Eeporter of Cunningham Literary Society, Spring 1916; Kodak Club; Camp Fire Girl; Advafiol CuUesumercents. If you are ever troubled with that ter- rible disease ' known as the blues, just look up this old scout and, presto! within a wink of your eye you ' 11 have a smile on your face that won ' t ecme off. Hush! did you hear that giggle? Eureka! It ' s Alice Moore! A tiny little girl, but she has a heart big enough to completely envelop one teacher, besides lots of friends. She loves athletics and is often found in the gym. MARGARET TAYLOR BARNARD NORFOLK, VA. Treasurer Athenian Literary Society, Spring 1916. AMELIA BENSON BAIN PORTSMOUTH, VA. Gamma Theta; W. A. N. K.; Recording Secretary of Athenian Literary Society, Pall 1915; Junior and Senior Representa- tive in Student Association, 1914-15, 1915- 16; President of Poster Club; President of Portsmouth Club; Vice-President of Non- pareil Tennis Club; Substitute in Junior Basket-Bail Team, 1914-15. This girl skipped Dr. Millidge ' s class about twice every week. We are glad she didn ' t skip the others, because she was the life of them all. You ask why she skipped those classes? It was because she had a date with Jesser at those periods every week. Everybody knows ' Melia and all who know her, love her, therefore everybody loves ' Melia. But let me whisper a secret in your ear. Amelia Bain is a little Cole- blooded! Yes-siree! If you don ' t believe me, just ask Buggy ' cause she ' s the one who freezes in the hall or finds a bed somewhere else when ' Melia wants the room for herself and Cole. MAECELLA BARNES AMELIA, VA. Kindergartner; Dramatic Club; Vice- President Glee Clubj Spring term, 1915; President Glee Club, 1915-16; First Vice- President Pierian Literary Society, Fall 1915; Chairman Music Committee of Y. W. C. A.; President Amelia Club, 1915-16; Member Blue Ridge Delegation; Second Honor Girl, Senior Class. Speaking of Grand Opera — that reminds me, did you ever hear Marcella sing? or did you ever see her act? Some day you ' ll be seeing her on the stage or maj ' be you ' ll be playing one of her records on your Victrola: that is, if you can get her to give up her Kindergarten work. But she is such a splendid teacher, it will be a pity if she does change her profession. IDA M. BAENHAET CALLAWAY, VA. Jefferson Debating Society. Slow but sure is here proved to be a good motto, for it makes a teacher loved by all her pupils and friends. 17 MARY BENNETT STORMONT, VA. Vice-President Ruffner Debating So- ciety; President of Rnflfner Debating So- ciety; Corresponding Secretary of Ruffner Debating Society; Treasurer of Glee Club; Secretary Missionary Committee; Secretary and Treasurer Gloucester-Middlesex Club. DANDEIDGE L. BLAKEY GORDONSVILLE, VA. Cunningham Literary Sooietj ' ; Jefferson Debating Society; L. N. ; Buffalo Camp Fire Girl; L. D. K.; Kodak Club; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of The Virginian, 1915-16; Advafiol Cullesumercents. Some people have the knack of making friends with everyone thej ' meet, and Mary must be classified with these people. She knows practically everybody in school and has a host of sincere friends. We would like to mention her famous cry which nightly sounded throughout the halls — Hasn ' t anybody got anything to eat? Sirall of stature, eyes of blue, Most mischievous person we ever knew, Always .iolly, always bright, Playing pranks from morn ' til night. But friends .judge not from what I say. That this little maid is giddy and gay. For she can be serious, and ' s very intel- lectual too, A friend worth having — is it not true? 18 ESTHER BOWLES CARDWELL, VA. Reporter of Ruffner Debating Society. MOZELLE ELIZABETH BRADEN PAEONIAN SPRINGS, VA. Argus Literary Society; Nonpariel Ten- nis Club; Corresponding Secretary of Y. W. C. A.; 191.5-16; ?— ! ; Advafiol Cullesumercents. This quiet, meek-looking little girl is not what her looks make you think, for she is full of life and fun when you know her well. I must tell you this about her, she is teaching in Hopewell and I think this shows you, plainly enough what a brave, strong girl she is. We know there ' s not another like her in name or in person, she ' s just the kind of girl you would like to meet and have for a friend. Quiet and dignified, but always ready for a good time. She teaches in the Second Year High School and is never seen without a string of her pupils at her heels. OLIVE BRANCH SMITHFIELD, VA. Delegate to Blue Eidge, 1915; Cunning- ham Literary Society. JULIA NEAL BEITTINGHAM HAMPTON, VA. n A; Basket-Ball Team, 1916-17; Cor- responding Secretary of Pierian Literary Society, Fall 1915-16; Love Set Tennis Club; Cotillion Club; D. I. E. K.; Secretary and Treasurer of Hampton Club; 0. H. E.; Blue Eidge Delegate. Olive Branch — How symbolic, and this is certainly true of Olive. One of the chief characteristics of Tootsie is h r little squeaky voice. But just you wait until she sits down with her guitar. Why you would forget your whole existence and your soul would take its flight to dream- land — only to wake and find ' ' Tootsie ' ' there with her beloved music box. Just an adorable little piece of humanity, always bright and happy and always ready to do what you suggest and mighty good at suggesting things herself. This is a secret, but I ' 11 tell you. As a rule girls usually cut chapel, but Britt ' s fondness for Chappell is appalling — she doesn ' t stop here though, for she takes part in all school activities, and is known and liked by everyone. Her ease? It ' s S-s-s. EVELYN BEOWNLEY BROOKS PORTSMOUTH, VA. Recording Secretary of Y. W. C. A., 1915- 16; Reporter of Athenian Literary Society, Spring 1915; Vice-President Athenian Literary Society, Fall 1915; President of Athenian Literary Society, Spring 1916; Dramatic Club; Treasurer of Portsmouth Club, 1915; Vice-President of Portsmouth Club, 1916; Member of Student Govern- ment Committee. Eva is one of those girls from Ports- mouth, and we all know what that stands for. Steady and true in her work and glad and happy in play. It ' s a fine thing to know when to work and when to play and Eva knows just how to manage it. She is a delightful companion and a true friend. MARTHA KING BUGG PARMVILLE, VA. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority; M 0; Delta; Corresponding Secretary of Argus Literary Society, 1915; President of Fourth Year Class, 1913; Arts and Crafts Club. Martha King went through the Training School, then through the Normal, which proves that girls are pretty good at bluflSng. When it came to spelling she couldn ' t bluff and so she is numbered among the great class of Special Spellers. Nevertheless, she took life easy, and no one ever saw her worry or saw her in anything but the best of humors. MARY LOUISE BUNC?I LYNCHBURG, VA. Athenian Literary Society; President of Lyneliburg Club. SAKAII MARGARET BYEOM POCAHONTAS, VA. Kindergartner; President of Atlienian Literary Society, Fall 1915; President of Southwest Virginia Club, 1914-15 and 191.3- 16; Cotillion Club; Poster Club; D. I. R. K.; Treasurer of Arts and Crafts Club, 1915-16; Reporter Senior Class. Louise ' s calm dignity, although not like the usual Lynchburg girls, is extremely characteristic of her profession. We sup- pose it was walking those Lynchburg hills that made her so thin, but we do not know what made her so proper — any way she ' s mightv sweet along with it. If you see a girl coming down the halls of S. N. S. who is tossing her head as she walks, you may know her to be the most airy girl in the Senior Class, she never leaves off a minute. Maybe airs are a necessary element in the making of a good kindergartner, because that is what she is. She has the other elements, too, for she can draw, sing, and play and do them all well. MAEGARET ELIZABETH CALDWELL NEW CASTLE, VA. Southwest Virginia Club. LELIA E. CARTER CREWE, VA. Ellen Riehaid ' s Club. Have you ever seen those girls who move along easy and never worry but somehow seem to get there just the same? Margaret is one of that happy number who takes life easy. She has never been know n to worry, not even the Training School phazed her — and she managed to come out on top. Here is a sunny disposition which lends a smile to all. She has flitted back and forth from Crewe to us for some time now, and we shall miss her bright smile. DEEAMA ELIZABETH CHAMBERS CLIFTON rORGE, VA. Censor of JefEerson Debating Society, Fall 1914; Critic of Jefferson Debating So- ciety, Tall 1915; Reporter of Alleghany County Club, 1915-16; Ellen Richard ' s Club; Buffalo Camp Fire Girl; L. D. K. JULIA CHAMBLIN HAMILTON, VA. Such a demure face to hide such mis- chievous designs! When she looks in- nocent, — beware! A perpetual falling into scrapes and frolicking out again — that ' s Dreama. Julia is a very shy, quiet girl until you know her, then she ' s lovable and a fine girl, and lots of fun. When she isn ' t busy studying B — she is begging some un- lucky person to please read aloud to her. Julia loves the country in any form, whether it be a country schoolhouse or well — just the good things that come from the country. ANNIE CHEADLE NEWPORT NEWS, VA. E. S. T.; Ellen Eichard ' s Club. Annie is such a quiet little mouse that her comings and goings do not make much of a disturbance in the class. She is very reserved, hard working and studious, and cares nothing for frills and fads; her knowledge must be strictly practical. Her quiet and industrious habits are appreci- ated by those who know her and taken as a whole, Annie is a generous kind-hearted girl. ELDA LOUISE CHILES STRASBUKG, VA. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority; Correspond- ing Secretary of Argus Literary Society, 1915; Critic Argus Literary Society, 1916; Delegate to Blue Eidge; Social Committee, 1915-16;. Annual Member of Y. W. C. A. to Charlotte, N. C, and Eichmond, Va.: President of Senior Class; Nonpareil Ten- nis Club; Treasurer Deutscher Sprach- verein; 9— ! ; B. E. A. N. S.; Advafiol Cullesumercents. With a sunny disposition, sunnier in fact than her hair (which is saying a great deal) Louise won many friends at school. If we may judge from the dail- ies ' ' and specials she receives she must have friends elsewhere and especially at Washington and Lee. Somehow we can ' t imagine Louise teaching school for any length of time. ELIZABETH EANDOLPII CLAEKE LANCASTER COURT HOUSE, VA. Second Vice-President of Pierian Liter- ary Society, Fall 1915; Treasurer of Pier- ian Literary Society, Spring 1916; Social Service Committee. HAZEL COBB FARMVILLE, VA. Bess is very fond of eating, and spends most of her time indulging in this enjoy- able occupation. Being especially fond of Hershey bars and ' ' cookies ' ' she spends the greater part of her time at Gilliam ' s or in Eoom 108, and we wonder when she ever studies, but somehow she alwaj ' s manages to pull good marks. Bess is a true daugh- ter of Old Virginia, lovable and attrac- tive — you would want her for j ' our friend. Some of us are afraid Hazel is going to give up the noble calling of teaching for that of a merchant, because she is always going to ' ' Sell. I ' m afraid she would be a movie fan is she .just had time, but she is always head over heels in work. LENA FRANCES COHEN NORFOLK, VA. Treasurer Euffner Debating Society, Fall 1914; President Euffner Debating Society, Spring 1915; Vice-President Deutseher Sprachverein; First Vice-President Argus Literary Society, Fall 1915; Senior Basket- Bail Team, 1915; Business Manager A IR- GINIAN, 1916; Appomattox Camp Fire Girl. If you could see Lena sitting on a trunk, swinging her feet, with a chicken leg in one hand and a slice of chocolate cake in the other, you would never take her to be ' ' the most sarcastic ' ' — not by any means. That smile says — The world ' s all right, I ' m jis as happy as if I had good sense. But Lena is at home ' ' in other things as well. She ' s a business manager who means business. What she can not collect for the Annual wouldn ' t buy a ginger snap. GLADYS ERMA COOLEY WILLIAMSBURG, VA. R. S. T.; Ellen Richard ' s Club; Camp Fire Girl; Recording Secretary Ruffner Debating Society, Spring 1915; Reporter Ruffner Debating Society, Fall 1915; Presi- dent Ruffner Debating Society, Spring 1916; Cuinningham Literary Society; Writer of Last Will and Testament of Class of 1916. She is true blue, through and through, and she always sees both sides of every question. She takes the world as she finds it and makes the best of it. IRENE COOPER ROCKY MOUNT, VA. CATHERINE BELLE COVER COVINGTON, VA. Pierian Literary Society; Jefferson De- bating Society; Buffalo Camp Fire Girl; President of Alleghany County Club. Here ' s Rene, a very good picture, al- though she doesn ' t think it does her eyes justice and neither do we. There are two characteristics of Rene that must be noted here. The most notable is her forgetful- ness. Next in prominence is her stick- to-it-iveness ' ' as she has been at S. N. S. almost from the time the corner stone was laid. She makes friends wherever she goes — what more can we say? When Catherine first came to S. N. S., the bane of her existence was the way people pronounced her name. She wants you to understand it is Cover not Coo-ver But now she ' s happy, for you never hear her name mispronounced and since she has succeeded so well in this, we feel sure she is bound to succeed when she goes out into the world. BEETHA MAE COX EAELYSVILLE, VA. Critic of Athenian Literary Society, 1915; Ellen Richard ' s Club; Ballad Club; President Albemarle Club, 3914-15; Trea- surer Albemarle Club, Fall 1915; French aub, 1913-14; Delegate to Fourth Bi- enial Convention of Y. W. C. A. at Richmond, April, 1913; President Junior Class, 1914-15. Giggle and the world giggles with you! This is Mae ' s motto in life and blue Mon- days are impossible when she ' s around. However, she can be serious too, and her practical sense has made her a ' ' school- marm of the first order. She is popular, vivacious, jolly and — a big flirt, according to the Senior statistics, although Mae in- dignantly declares that such thoughts never occurred to her unsophisticated mind. CHARLOTTE CRAWLEY COUETLAND, VA. Glee Club; President of South Hampton Club; Buffalo Camp Fire Girl. Charlotte is one of the youngest mem- bers of the Senior class, but as far as brains go, she ranks with the oldest. She is quiet and dignified and does the Seniors credit when it comes to being dignified. I-IATTIE V. CURLING POKTSMOUTH, VA. Athenian Literary Society; Secretary Portsmouth Club, Fall 1915; Camp Fire Girl; Advafiol Cullesumercents. I chatter, chatter as I go, but they seem to like it, even when it ' s Latin. And hasn ' t she the most impertinent little nose you ever saw? Ambulamus! CHARLOTTE DADMUN NORrOLK, VA. Treasurer of Junior Class, 1915; Censor Athenian Literary Society, Fall 1915; Wapwaloper Camp Fire Girl. Charlotte does not spread her knowledge broadcast as she is too unassuming, but every now and then when the rest of the class has been stumped, she comes forward with her opinions and in her pleasing man- ner makes the point as clear as day. MAEY ADLENA DARBY DE WITT, VA. Vice-President Cunningliam Literary So- eietj ' , Fall 1915; Eecordiug Secretary Euff- ner Debating Society, Spring, 1916; Assist- ant Business Manager Virginian; Senior Student Government Committee; Junior Basket-Bail Team; Senior Basket-Bali Team; Junior Baseball Team; Camp Fire Girl. An equal mixture of fun, business, humor, and common sense! In fact, she is all right from every point of view. ELEANOE DAUGHTEEY FRANKLIN, VA. E. S. T.; Ellen Eiohard ' s Club; Bible Study Committee. When I think of girls like Eleauor, it seems often times ' tis a pity that there are so many of us that each of us cannot know the other of us like the other of us deserves to be known. Eleanor has Job beaten on the subject of patience. She enjoys a good joke as much as her neigh- bors, while the lines a dignified bearing, and gentle reserve ' ' must have been writ- ten especially for her. 31 SARAH DAVIS HAMPTON, VA. Advafiol Cullesumercents; Hampton MARY DORSEY DOWNEY PORTSMOUTH, VA. Gamma Theta; Cunningham Literary So- ciety; Portmouth Club. Take a large bundle of optimism, mix it with a little fun, and wrap these in the warmest heart you can find — and you ' 11 have Sarah. Her favorite expression — ' ' Let us see. Downey is little, but when it comes to expressing her opinion, she ' s right there and in Civics, whew! Even if she is sorter shaky, because of King Lear, she has to give her opinion of the govern- ment. But when there ' s anj ' fun she ' s always around and when anything stirring happens, count on Downey being present. KATHLEEN DEINKAED APPOMATTOX, VA. MYETLE LYNDON DUNTON NASSAWADOX, VA. President of Eastern Shore Club, 1915- 16; Jefiferson Debating Society; Kodak Club; Camp Fire Girl; Glee Club. This is ' ' Kitty, ' ' a very good picture of her, although she looks as is she were never cross. But wait, just you say tests and see what happens. However, tests don ' t occur very often so her sunny dis- position is unspoiled. Myrt says she is from the Eastern Shore, the name of the place is Nass-a-wadox. Judging from the name and her glowing accounts of it, it is some place! Myrt is always happy, for she sings from early morning until the last tap of the light bell, much to the distress of her roomies. She is fond of reading, her favorite author being Spencer. She sa vs she expects to be a school teacher, but we have our doubts — as this is leap year. MARIE SULLIVAN EDMUNDS BLUEFIELD, W VA. Ellen Richards Club; Jefferson Debating Society; R. S. T. ' ' What is the use of hurrying, we have jilenty of time, says Marie as she walks into class just in time to answer to her name. And again she makes that remark as she slips into the dining-room as the door is being closed. We hope if she ever teaches that her school hours will be from ten until two, so she will have an- pie time in which to slumber in peace. RUTH BEATRICE EDWARDS NEWPORT NEWS, VA. Ruffner Debating Societj ' . Did you say spoiled? Indeed she is! Of course she will deny it, but one look at her round face and baby dimples, should convince you. In case it doesn ' t, watch her frown when she is not given her own way. However, we like her; she ' s always finding something to say in class, and though the teachers want quality, not quantity, she generally hands them lioth. PEAEL LOUISE ELLETT POCAHONTAS, VA. Athenian Literary Society; Southwest Virginia Club; Vice-President Jefferson Debating Society, Spring 1914; Advafiol Cullesuniercents. RUBY LISSETTE ELLETT POCAHONTAS, VA. Athenian Literary Society; Southwest Virginia Club; Jefferson Debating So- ciety; Advafiol Cullesumercents. This should have been two iiaragrajihs, as it was impossible to bring in one of tli Little Elletts without the other, we gave uji in despair and let them stay together as the most natural solution of the problem. They are sometimes called alike, but I ' 11 give you a hint by which to tell them apart — Pearl ' s middle nane is Dark while Euby has no mid- dle name. They are our jewels. ETTIE FEARING NORFOLK, VA. Advafiol Cullesumercents. LOUISE PLETCHEE GLOUCESTER, VA. Recording Secretary of Ruflfner Debating Society, Fall 1915; Gloucester-Middlesex Club; Appomattox Camp Fire Circle; L. N., 96. Mademoiselle Fearing teaches French — and Algebra! But you ' d never know it by the way she uses her dimples and the amount of candy she gets through the mail. Ettie is jolly and fun-loving, and everybody likes her, even her pupils. Her greatest ambition is to teach Math in Maury High — or somewhere else. Well, look at that smile coming down the hall! What is it? Oh, yes, it is Louise. She has smiled her way into the hearts of the Training School children and won them to her immediately. All the Normal school girls who know her like her and there are not many who do not know her, for she is ready to make friends and to keep them, too. 36 ANNIE SUE FULTON CEITZ, VA. Secretary of French Club, 1914-15; Southwest Virginia Club; Missionary Giv- ing Committee; Camp Fire Girl; Advafiol Cullesumereents. LOUISE FULTON CRITZ, VA. French Club; Southwest Virginia Club; Ellen Richard ' s Club, 1913-14; Camp Fire Girl; Advafiol Cullesumereents. She doesn ' t like to be called dignified, but don ' t you think she looks so? What- ever she undertakes will always succeed, as has been proved many times. The ' ' Fairy Stone Land ' ' seems to be rich in producing stones of rare value. Four years ago it sent to us a little twin, who has ever since been a pride to her class, because of her ready wit in poetry. She also has a passion for magazines — I wonder why? NANNTE PERCELL GARNETT PARMVILLE, VA. Pierian Literary Society. ANNIE JAYNE GATLING PRINCE GEORGE, VA. Ellen Richard ' s Club; Petersburg Club. A lovable girl, whom everyone likes. She is fond of teaching, and especially of teaching the third grade. Nan is a dancer, and although a town girl, frequents the gym more than often. Leave it to her to talk to you — esiiecially if j ' ou lack the art. Annie speaks her mind — but then she has a mind to si eak. She knows how to work, how to pla} ' tennis and then — she has something which always helps one — a sense of humor. WINIFRED GETTEL NORFOLK, VA. ISADORE (jlLLS BALLSVILLE, VA. Jefferson Debating Soi-iety; Glee Club; Ellen Bicharrl ' s Club; erccnts. Advafiol Ciillesnm- Can ' t you tell by her picture what kind of a girl she is? Yes, the kind of a girl 3 ' ou can depend on, the kind that does her work quietly and with so much ease that you aren ' t aware of her doing it. Yet she is ready for fun, enjoys life and gets lot out of it. Ask anyone and the.y 11 say, She is a fine girl. ' She is ' ' simply wild and distracted about that test, but this must be a highly desirable state, judging from the grades that always follow. Perhaps it is because she never loses her good humor. ELLEN GILMER GOODWIN BUCKNEK, VA. Critic Cunningham Literary Society, Pall 1915; Reporter French Club, 1915-16; Critic Euffuer Debating Society, Spring 1916; Scribbler; Advafiol Cullesumercents. Ellen, why will you hide your light under a bushel of shyness? Mr. Grainger, it has been rumored, says 3 ' ou ' re one of the wittiest girls we have — but we don ' t read your themes and you don ' t talk much. We like you, we know you ' re lovable, but when you go out in the world, which awaits you, give it the privilege of know- ing what a real optimistic, deep (etcetera) person you are. That ' s a privilege you ' re granted to such a few of us. MARY HELEN GRAY WYTHEVILLE, VA. Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority; President of Cunningham Literary Society, Spring 1916; Critic Cunningham Literary Society, Spring 1915; Senior Class Prophet; Presi- dent of Nonpareil Tennis Club, 1915-16; Vice-President of Athletic Association, 1915-16; Student Government Committee; Glee Club; Editor-in-Chief of Focus, 1915- 16; Business Manager Focus, Spring 1915; Treasurer Southwest Virginia Club, 1914- 15; Junior Basket-Bail; Benedictine; ? ! ; Advafiol Cullesumercents. Helen can sing, play basketball, act, write stories and do any number of other things, but one thing she has never been able to do, is to reduce. Not that we think she needs to, no indeed, it is just the one thing she can ' t do. Every one loves to be with her, but when they leave her this request follows them: Please, please, write something for the Focus. ' ' BRENDA GEIPFIN WINDSOR, VA.

That adorable little scream! It may express pleasure, pain, fear, joy and many other things, but is always the same. And she is so horrified when it escapes. Wanted — A Wife? Then here she is. She ' s pretty, as you see by the statistics, and she cannot only cook your food, but she can also raise it, as Domestic Science plus Biology is her hobby. P. S. — You don ' t n ind your meals being late — do you? FLOEEXCE C. HALL PORTSMOUTH, VA. Critic Athenian Literary Society, Spring 1916; Chairman Bible Study Committee; Senior Committee of Student Government; Delegate to Blue Ridge; Portsmouth Club; Senior Basket-Bali Team. RUTH HANKINS SPRINGFIELD, ILL. A ' ice-President Pierian Literary Society; Dramatic Club; Poet of Senior Class; Scribblers; Advafiol Cullesumercents. When the six o ' clock bell rings, Florence is up and ready to play basket-ball or tennis or practice for Field Day. Now 3 ' ou see how much she loves out-door sports or Miss March. We don ' t know which stands first with her. She certainly helped us win Field Day, and we are mighty proud of all those girls. In all her work she is conscientious and studious. ' ' Vhere are you going, my Northern Maid? ' ' I ' m going to my cousin ' s, Sir, she said. Ruth is from TllJnois, can recite poetry by the peck, argue by the yard and ' ' just talk ' ' by the mile. She has won her way into the hearts of us girls of the South and we are always ready to listen to her whether she is ready to recite, argue or ' ' just talk.

Advafiol Cullesun.ercents; Le Cercle First here, then tliere — that ' s Billy. Some one has said Much study is weari- some to the flesh, and she never disputes this maxim, but why should she study if she doesn ' t need to? One of her character- istics is her never-failing temper, which can be quickly aroused and as quickly sub- dued. Nevertheless, she is a dandy basket- ball player and a girl the Seniors should be proud of. For further information see statistics or ask Luiv Powell. Not so big — but so much sense! Why she can teach Algebra, Composition, and history all at once and never get angry or flustrated. Observers — ? Why she .iust loves them. RITA HATCHER CHESTER, VA. Rufifner Debating Society.; Junior Basket-Bali Team; Senior Basket-Bail Team; Camp Pire Girl; Advafiol Cullesum- ereents. Here are a firm hand and steady eye, a girl true up and down and through and through. As for goal-throwing, she equal is not known. MARY LILLIAN CUTHBERT WILLIAMSON MARTINSVILLE, VA. Albemarle Club; Kodak Club; Camp Fire Girl; Kindergartner. Mary, like the most of us, is more fond of sleeping in the moring than at night. My! how she hates to hear that 7:30 bell. Just as the dining-room door closes, you can see her rushing madly down the aisle to her table. And that ' s the way she goes the whole day long. But it ' s no wonder, for she ' s making the work in one year — the only one in our class to do it. She is very much sought after by Teaching Seniors, for she ' s had three year ' s ex- perience and she does give the best ad- vice — and is the most tactful, thoughtful person. HAZEL HUNTER HEATWOLE COVINGTON, VA. Jefferson Debating Society; Alleghany County Club; Buffalo Camp Eire Girl. LOUISE HUNDLEY IVOR, VA. Junior Basket-Bail Team; Southhampton Club. Here ' s to Hazel. These three H ' s must stand for something, and judging from her work in school we are sure that they stand for Success. Hazel ' s middle name is Hunter, and it just suits her, for she is very fond of ' ' Rabbit. ' ' We predict a short life for her in teaching but — we wish her well. Did you say Louise was serious? AVell, I should say not. Just ask some of her friends who are always anxious to have her to their boxes. She creates the fun but you would never suspect it from the meek picture of her.

What a queer combination of human nature is this friend of ours. Strong, good looking and attractive — she seems a girl of — well a girl of her age at least. Would you believe it if I told you that at times she seems only five. When she disagrees — and she is not always the pleasant agree- able sort — there is an unmistakable pout on her lips, and the half bashful, half defiant look in her eyes makes her adversary usually see her point of view. Eliza is very modest and quiet, but when Camp Fire is mentioned a bright twinkle may be seen in her eyes. For what wouldn ' t she sacrifice for an afternoon tramp across country with Dr. Brydon? Iler chief hobby is History, we don ' t know whv. DENNIE JONES NEW CASTLE, VA. Southwest Virginia Club. The only trouble with Dennie is that she will not use anti-fat. She is a big com- fort to all her friends, because of her readiness to lend a hand in time of trouble. Dennie does not go into anything half- heartedly. She is either for a thing or against it. We are sure she will make a successful teacher — a career to which she eagerly looks forward. LULA MOEEISBTTE JONES TAZEWELL, VA.

She is just the type to win a number of admirers, especially the confec- tioners and pharmacists. Jonesj ' was never known to be out of her room after light bell (?).

ESTHER MARGUERITE KLINE COVINGTON, VA. Glee Club; Corresponding Secretary Cunningham Literary Society, 1915; Le Cercle Francais; Alleghany Club; Advafiol Cullesuniereents. Such a sweet disposed girl is Aurelia — ever smiling, in for a good time, and ready to help her friends. She is quick to per- ceive signs of starvation and come to the rescue, for you know Aurelia is a town girl and lives close by. Esther is one of those far-famed Coving- ton girls and in the musical line she haa surely won fame, and especially in the eyes of Miss Munoz. She is one of the High School Seniors — that speaks for itself. One of Esther ' s failings is her fondness for mountain Ayre. Judging from ap- XJearance we do not think Esther will teach very long. 49 ELLEN LINN LASH PORTSMOUTH, VA. Argus Literary Society; D. I. E.

It is rumored that a girl within these walls once arose at 5 o ' clock on a wintry morning and then failed to geti down to breakfast on time, at 7:30. Again ' tis rumored concerning this same fair maiden, that germs so often bothered her that the v ery pins in the room were washed and accordingly, rusted. Seriously, though, do you want to know a girl who is unselfish, who is always doing little deeds of kind- ness? ' Tis Ellen — pure gold describes her. S, N. S. has known Lily now for six years, but she spends so much of her time at classes or going and coming on the train from Crewe that very few of the girls know her well. All we know about her is that she has light curly hair and is devoted to her teaching. We wish her suc- cess in her profession. VIRGINIA LEE BEALETON, VA. E. S. T.; Ellen Bichard ' s Club.

Just look at her name and you can tell where she is from, then look at her face and you can tell what she is. She takes a great delight in her work and is happiest when with her first grade. We feel sure her life ' s work will be a grand success. To lead rather than to be led is Nancy ' s motto. She is independent and loves to have her own way. In arguments it is easier — yes, much easier — to be convinced than to convince Nancy. She teaches gym and the children never were known to argue with her about which way to turn at the different commands. EUNIC E RANDOLPH LOGWOOD BEDrOED CITY, VA. Mu Omega; W. A. N.

Eunice is one of the shining lights of the Senior Class (even if she hasn ' t red hair) for she gets A on all her tickets. ( ?) When it comes to industrial work, Eunice can beat all of us and she is running a close second to Mr. Long. Everyone says Eunice is a born teacher. Mary says little, but thinks much.

' ' Just four years ago this little girl from Dixie Land entered our Normal. She also comes from the land of Fairy Stones and that ' s why she is so luckj- when it comes to — her teachers.

Her beauti- ful curly hair has been envied by all S. N. S. girls. She says she will teach next year, but she will pardon us if we predict a trip on the sea of matrimony in the near future. Small in the physical sense only is Katherine, for she has proved to us that she is big in all other ways. All the jubilant Y. W. C. A. people recognize her as their leader, for she is the living incar- nation of the jubilee. It does one good to see her little face brighten up when she smiles.

I do wish mama would send me a box, is Kit Kat ' s one cry. She likes to eat, but likes better to talk, and her one deisre is never to say mean things about any one. If you want to know whether this neat little brown-eyed Susan lives up to her desire or not — well, don ' t ask her roommates. Behold! Our artist! If you don ' t be- lieve it, just look through our Annual, or get some of the girls to show you sketches she made of the teachers. For no matter how uninterested or sleepy the rest of the class were, Mary was always wide-awake making sketches of the teachers or plan- ning pictures for the Annual. MINNIE MURPHY MAGNET, VA. OLIVIA NEWBILL HASDY, VA. Advafiol Cullesumereents. Quiet and dignfied are the two best ad- jectives to describe Minnie. She is re- served, too, and if you know her at all, you must know her rather well. Until j ' ou do this you do not fully realize what a fine girl she is. We rather think Olivia ' s number of pupils will be preferably small next year. There is one little thing which makes us think it may even be diminished to one, though of course we cannot say.

It has been rumored that the gods were good to us when they brought Heleue. She is, indeed, a joy to the entire student body. Always she greets us with a sunny smile and a warm hand clap that makes us blush, she is so boyishl3 ' -feminine. It is too great a task to try to enumerate all of Helene ' s good characteristics, so I ' ll stop with the greatest of tributes that can be paid to any S. N. S. girl — she has a heart of pure gold.

One may begin to sleep at the first clang of the light bell and sleep to the last clang of the breakfast bell, fill up all vacant periods with sleep, and even then be un- able to get enough hours of sleep out of the twenty-four. Thelma has ever wooed Morpheus and thus, in worship of this god, did she spend much of her time as a Junior, but since she put on the cloak of dignity befitting a teaching Senior Morpheus has been sadly neglected. Thel- ma is what one may term brilliant (you just ought to see her tickets!) and yet even she finds that the hard life of teaching is running us mad. Because she can learn so easily and make you like her so well, we predict great things for her in the future. ELLEN PAESONS CAPEVILLE, VA. JULIA PHILIPS Vice-President Athenian Literary So- ciety; Treasurer Athenian Literary So- ciety; Vice-President Senior Class; Secre- tary and Treasurer of Athletic Association; D. L K. K.; J. T. F. U. I didn ' t know that Eastern Shore could produce fine potatoes and good looking girls too, but I knew I was mistaken the minute I saw Ellen. She certainly will captivate some man ' s heart with her eyes even as she has won ours. If character is judged by looks, Ellen has plenty of it, but only her best friends can tell you of her good traits as she is as quiet and sweet as the war-time ladies were. Speaking of an all ' round person, that ' s Bigum. Brimming over with wit and fun she- goes from morning until night, and she doesn ' t even know what the word study means. She ' s the best person I know to go to if you ' re blue. I suppose it is laughing that makes her so fat — ex- cuse me — I mean plump! 59 MAEY CAROLINE POND WAKEFIELD, VA. DORIS POBTEE PORTSMOUTH, VA. Reporter Athenian Literary Society, Spring 1915; Poster Club; Dramatic Club; Portsmouth Club. She was always sure of her way through this school, for when she first stepped off the train without any directions she made a B -line for the State Normal School. And she has been going her way quietly through school without even a case to disturb her. We feel she is going to succeed in all her work. Have you met Doris? Well, if you have- n ' t, you will know her by this expression, Have you seen Dorsey? She is a studious little person and her chief hobby is drawing. Although a meek-looking little creature, when it conies to arguing, she is right there. LUCY POWELL HAMPTONj VA.

Lucy Jane is one of those girls who is just born lucky. W hat it takes to slip around the halls at 11 o ' clock and never get caught, she ' s got it. She is a tall, striking-looking girl and from all appear- ances is very fond of foreign things, foi- she doesn ' t let a day pass without indulg- ing in Greeks. She is popular and shows wonderful ability in managing her num- erous crushes. All in all, she ' s a good old sport. She looks brave enough, but when it comes time for a Civics class she actually trembles and when Civics test time comes she is simply petrified. At any other time she ' s a good companion and always ready to stop b,y Gilliams and get some of those perfectly grand little Spanish peanuts ; that all S. N. S. girls know. MABEL PRINCE TALE, VA. Ellen Eiehard ' s Club; E. S. T. Mabel is so mewhat of a student and very obedient to law and duties, but in summing her up, we have found her to be an all around good companions, just the sort to respond when a fellow needs a friend.

Elizabeth can do whatever she wants to, — provided she wants to hard enough. In other words, she is a very dependable per- son. Aside from that, she can plan more pranks, help more folks forget their troubles, get into more scrapes — and get out again than any other luckless red- headed person alive. • She vows that no one will ever marry her, but wherever she goes she ' ll always find plenty of friends and none will be the loser who counts her a friend.

Some folks hate freckles but we love them here, because we cannot help it — es- pecially when they are combined with a lovable girl with a musical talent. T ' s favorite class at the Normal was the ' ' gym ' ' class — especially the early six o ' clock morning walks. So dearly did she love Miss March that she took two extra gym classes each week during her Senior Year. We mustn ' t forget T ' s fondness for specials, as, spelling, English, etc. All new girls were struck with T ' s looks, because she was so odd a type, but so odd was she that everyone loved her, whose privilege it was to know her. LELIA CRALLE RICHAEDSON FARMVILLE, VA. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority; Cotillion Club; Poster Club; Athenian Literary So- ciety; Assistant Art Editor of Virginian; Delta. IRENE ROGERS WAVERLY, VA. This girl da.y-dreamed in every class, until she was called on, then quickly would her thoughts come back from Columbia University and the Alumnus H. S. there, and cente.r on getting on answer for the question. However, when it comes to draw- ing — real sure enough art — Lelia is right there. Rena is a serious student, who goes to her work with a view. She is so wrapped up in the pursuit of her studies that she hasn ' t found itnie to take ad- vantage of the non-intellectual side-shows. She doesn ' t have many words to waste and is a good conversationalist in that, she is a good listener. She is modest, reserved, ard pleasant, so all like ner. 64 SADIE ROTHWELL CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

A quiet, unassuming, lovable girl and that ' s Mary Eussell. Mary is a High School teacher and Math, is her long suit. We think she will not teach long, for she likes a certain Park(er) and will soon be living in the State where sugar cane grows. Before you come in sight of her you hear her — somehow she just will talk. When you finally get in sight of her you grin — because she ' s always grinning over something, work or play.

In all the mischief at school Seabury or Nell (but never Cornelia) did her full share. The way she could dodge Mrs. Har- ris on the halls was quite an accomplish- ment! And the way she fooled those teach- ers! Original and funny, a few minutes with her guaranteed to cure any case of hom esickness. Money refunded.

Here you find the sweetest and quietest girl, who always goes her own way with- out disturbing her fellowmen. But we all love her quietness in contrast to some of the loud noises. A little girl with bright red curls passes by. Is she in the training school? you ask. And you get the answer, No, she is a Senior, teaching in the training school now. ' ' Surprised ? No wonder, Alice doesn ' t look like a tired, worn-out Senior, and she isn ' t. She is just a bright, happy school girl who is teaching. EMMA SMITH ALTAVISTA, VA. R. S. T. EUNICE SMITH NORTH GARDEN, VA. Censor of Albemarle Club; E. S. T. Emma is a quiet, studious member of our class and has pursued her course undis- turbed by the many happenings around her. She decides what she thinks is the right action to take, and then follows her decision to the end. When she came to school she came to learn something and with this aim constantly before her, she has gained much from her life at the Normal. Who thinks there ' s nothing she can do, Yet always finds this is not true; A thing which she does not possess — The knowledge of self-confidence. ' ' LOIS SMOOT WOODSTOCK, TA.

FLORENCE MINOK SNEAD OAKTERVILLE, VA. If you want to see Smoot, watch on the halls and soon you ' ll see her strolling along without a care in the world. Smoot ' s a wonder when it comes to answering ques- tions on a lesson she has never read over, her replies are very original. She must be teaching arithmetic this term in the training school, else why is she so inter- ested in banking? Although it was not in a Maxwell that we first made Minor ' s acquaintance (for her trip in the Maxwell was not very suc- cessful) yet we have become accustomed to seeing her around. Seeing may be said to express her presence for if we depended on hearing Minor we would be disap- pointed, for she is entirely too modest to intrude. It is predicted that teaching will never be Minor ' s life occupation. 71 RUTH ELIZABETH SOYAES BRIM, N. C.

Don ' t you remember how the teachers would say, Miss-er-Miss Nora-er — can anyone tell me what this name is?

This is true of Lillian, who ' goes about hour after hour, carrying in her arms the dearest little specimen of a doll baby, better known as Kenny.

In Mr. Garth ' s class she always sat on the front seat and as a result she knows lots of psychological facts which she is putting into use in her teaching now. When you near the Training School this question greets you, ' ' How do you keep children interested in their reading lesson? Gillian is her full name, but we call her Gill. If you have word-study please don ' t think she ' s altogether what her name signifies. Yes, she does talk a lot — but we like to hear her. She ' s witty, you know. She came from Union, W. Va., and we ' re inclined to believe that a union of some sort will be her final destination — whether it is the Union one reaches by train or that union which the term I will makes lasting.

She ' s always busy; first, because she does her work thoroughly and thinks deeply; and, secondly, because she does much work.

There are two other occupations dear to her heart, these are letter-writing and dancing.

You know the old Grecian Aristotle, do you not? Well he ' s not in the race when compared with our Aristotle of the Normal. Elizabeth has this nickname because of her wisdom? Perhaps — because of her good work? Maybe — because of her humor, whether the Grecian was humorous or not? why certainly! Peggy was the terror of the home de- partment, for she always did those things which she should not have ' done. If Mrs. Harris did not find Peggy on the halls after light bell, she immediately went to her room to see if Peggy were sick or out of town.

One would think that a person who was deciding whether or not she wanted an ' • A. B. or an A. M. would be too worried to smile. But always with a smile dependable Carrie goes about this school.

Yes, that ' s what we girls call her. She isn ' t especially noted as a big eater, unless Honey is a part of the menu. Altogether, we can give this winsome girl with the big brown eyes just lots. N. B. — ' Tis strange she doesn ' t like the boys. 79 Class poem We go, as multitudes have gone before, With that strange sense of pain and joy. That saddened sweet, that strange alloy, That cheers the heart — yet wrings it all the wove. Alas! The paltry echoes we awoke. Thro ' these high halls now and evermore Are blended in the human ear With deeper echoes of a thousand more, Like waters poured into a lake That crystal sources ever fill, We go. The tiny ripples circle spread, then break Upon a sparkled shore — and all is still. Perhaps our going hence doth rend in twain Some friendship which for long hath lain A thing of beauty in some Lfe. Such somber musings have no time with us this daj ' ; Allow no such with us to climb The heights ' long the wav. The universal law demands That man pass from his honors and his lands. To leave them unto other hands That may, despite his brilliancj ' or worth. Outdo HIS deeds, outshine them to the earth. But that fair providence that draws Us from THIS field by its unwritten laws. Reveals to us another one, more fair, And says Discard this mimic fame. Make yet a greater name Your field is there. Such friendships as we cannot take Such friendships as these last daj ' S break, Plant deep in memory. For they belong to thee; Those hours of pleasure we have cherished deep. Associations that we fain would keep, To memory consign, For they are thine. So classmates, let go as multitudes Have gone before. Viccissitude, That may yet come must cast no shades today. And, if a pang at parting cloud the way, Tell to yourself with unabated breath ' ' This is a birthday — not a death. ' ' Then let us live, so that when years Have passed on with their flights of hopes and fears, If anj ' one of us be named (unknown or famed). To any other of our class, this one shall look Back to these days, by memory not forsook, By years not rendered blurred, And say, caressing ever} ' word, ' ' I went to school with her. ' ' — EUTH Hankins 80 ilany, many years have past since the happy care-free days at dear old S. N. S. As I sit before my fireside worrying over test papers and wondering what the next day ' s lesson may bring forth, my mind con- tinually reverts to that period of my life. How well do I recall the day, when, with linees trembling and hearts beating wildly, we student-teachers answered the summons to assemble promptly at 12:15 in the Ninth Grade room of the Training School where the awe-inspiring Head of that Institution told us in a firm, but gentle tone, that our days of middy blouses and tennis shoes were past. We were now dignified Seniors and must allow nothing to detract from the seriousness of our situation. And again, come to me the memories of our last days together, sweet and tender and sad; sweet and tender, in that they brought back all the joys of a schoolgirl ' s life; sad, in that they brought a full realization of the parting of the ways. Following immediately upon this, do I not remember how eager we were to be out in the great free world to make our fortunes or perhaps to mar ? It is all too true now; we are out in the world that seemed so big and strange. And what would I not give to return again to the dear old Normal, where I might sit contentedly while Dr. Millidge spins his yarns and tells his jokes, or tremble like a leaf as I rise to give my oral report, or might I once more be allowed to see pictures in Miss Wheeler ' s classroom. I used to wonder what that window was made of, for it seemed to portray the whole universe for ages past to some, while to others of us, more unfortunate, it was only a glass pane and no amount of word-painting on the part of our instructor could induce us to see it differently. The Hound of Heaven still brings to my mind a long, lank greyhound reclining in a mass of fleecy white cloi;ds. up in the sky, for that was the only impression it could ever make on my intellect. 81 Wfl Wirginiavi But my poor dears! I simply must grade their papers tonight; and I ' m afraid I do not finish much faster for my dreaming. Oh ! What on earth ? From whence eometh this great white figure ? The Mords of Hamlet rush o ' er me: Angels and niiuisters of grace, defend us! Be thou a spirit of health or goblindanined. Bring with thee airs from Heaven or blasts from hell, Be thj ' intents wicked or charitable, Thou comest in such a questionable shape That I will speak with thee. Fear not, quoth the figure, I am the ghost of thy greatgrandsire and would do thee no harm. To me is given the power to see what transpires beneath the canopy of Heaven but not to speak with mortal man. However, in thee I find a kindred spirit ; hence, I come to tell thee what thou dost wish above all else to know. In thy dreaming this eve thou wert wondering where the pathways of thy classmates have led. Is this not so ? It is indeed ; more than all else, I would know this. Well, if thou wilt keep thy consciousness free of all worldliuess. that tale I will unfold. Make thy mind a perfect blank that my thoughts may be trans- ferred to thee. In thy mouth will I place words, and not till these words are spoken canst thou fully appreciate the pictures of thy schoolmate ' s lives. Ah ! I feel myself slowly, yet surely slipping, slipping — sinking — sink- ing into oblivion . What is this massive structure rising up before me? Can it be possible? Yes, it is — the grand old Normal — in truth, but not in name, for it is now the Virginia State College for Women. Its fame has spread far and wide, and consequently, its dormitories are filled to overflowing, as of old. yet now the student body is composed of girls from every corner, not only of this country, but of the entire globe. An evidence that the equal suffrage bill has long ago passed Congress is the fact that, instead of Mr. Atkinson, I now see Ruth Edwards diligently patrolling the campus as if it has been her life-long duty. Another confirmation of the rule of woman is indicated by the one who holds the president ' s chair. In government alTairs, presiding with such grace 82 S gc OTrginian ' and dignity, is no other than our beloved Student Body President, Buggs Noell. Always at her right hand is her faithful companion and private secretary. Nan Stevvai t. ! I wonder could there be others of my classmates there ? I hear a gentle rap as of a pencil on the d lor and her awe-inspiring voice calling, Why were you not at breakfast? To — whom? Nell Seabury natur- ally, for she has returned to have a gay time and take the college course — incidentally. How often have I heard that same gentle rap and seen that same red shawl on that same ]Mrs. Harris! No, indeed; it is now Biggun Philips, of all people, who calls the girls to account for absence at meals. Seated in the Home office calmly knitting socks for the poor soldiers is Elizabeth Rowe, who, after many attempts, has at last secured the position of her choice, chaperoning girls to the dentist ' s office. In the dining-room an elaborate dinner, such as ours on Thanksgiving and Valentine ' s Day, has been prepared by Annie Gatling. Head of the Culinary Department. A glance into the Library reveals some one seated at the desk making twice as much noise pounding on the table for the girls to be quiet as they could ever make with their whispering. The alarm clock goes off and the person at the desk, perfectly furious, sends a crowd of gigglers from the room. I almost faint with surprise when she turns around, for behold ! It is Dandridge Blakey ! Again, I see the Training School, and a peep into the Kindergarten shows the supervisor, so gentle and loving, bending over the babies at their work. A smile here and a kind word there puts an end to their sorrows and they go cheerily on with their play. In truth, Katherine Jliddleton is a second Miss Mix. In the Eighth Grade room a petritied student teacher tremblingly receives her criticism from Miss Ellen Goodwin. From the hallway below comes the sound of the Victrola playing Stars and Stripes, Washington and Lee Swing. and others, always some march ; but I am not at all surprised when I see Grace Armstrong there and remember her fondness for a March. Nor am I am more surprised when, on opening the school catalog, among the many changes I observe the word Supervisor in the Fourth Grade to have been changed to Foreman, for Mary Downey is in charge of it. As Agricultural Instructor, I find JIadeline Warlnirton, who with her associate, Virginia Lee, is most efficiently managing the Demonstration Farm for Prince Edward Countv. W lITirqinian The scene shifts to several lovely new homes in and around the little city of Farmville. I see in the distance a dainty vine-covered cottage in Cumberland, and find that it is the happy home of her who was once my classmate. Hazel Cobb. There were few girls in school for whom was predicted a brighter future than Julia Brittingham, yet I behold her in the cherished old school town perfectly contended with one Acre. Nearby is a rustic cabin where Annie Allen delights to spend her winters. I wonder at this, but it seems that her supreme delight is to dwell anywhere near a Woods. On the outskirts of Farmville stands a neat bungalow, the home of the one masculine member of our class, Mr. Ray- mond V. Long. He deserted the Industrial Arts Department immediately upon our leave-taking and very much to our surprise — and contrary to rumor — retired to his little farm where he now resides with the old hens. I catch a sight of the most wonderful city of Virginia, Hopewell, and in its midst, many of ray classmates. Lillian Todd, having risen to the position of Principal of the High School, has associated with her in the intellectual enlighten- ment of the cofsmopolitan population, ilabel Prince and Doris Porter in the Primary Department, while in the Intermediate Grades the patience of Ellen Parsons and Ruth Jamison is being taxed to the utmost by little foreign brats. Esther Bowles, becoming infatuated with a handsome young gentleman soon after her departure from us in January, 1916, has made her residence in the suburbs of this wonder city. Here, Eleanor Daughtery aids her husband, a Baptist preacher, in the spiritual uplift of mankind. In the heart of a German settle- ment, toiling manfully day after day, Brenda Griff en, becaiase of her love of that Teutonic race, helps the poor unfortunate creatures to live cleaner and better lives. The colossal edifice of the Congressional Library shadows my vision and I realize that some of my classmates have found their life work in the capitol city of our nation. Betsy Woodson, having gained valuable experience in the library of the Y. W. C. A., is a most capable Head Librarian. On the table of fashion books I catch a glimpse of two familiar faces. Yes, indeed, Margaret Caldwell and Irene Cooper are models in Vogue. On the sporting page of the New York Times I see the likeness of Sadie Rothwell, world ' s champion woman pitcher, and in its columns are often found the names of Eunice Smith, Gertrude Prince, and Louise Hundley. I am startled to discover on the Latest Books stand a sensational novel, The Case of an Anderson by Mozelle Elizabeth 84 glf2 Jlfirginian Braden. Another of the newest productions is Stover at Parmville —no sequel to Stover at Yale — by the famous authoress, Gill Walker. My mind wanders from the Library to an immense Amusement Park where myriads of electric lights turn darkness into day. In front of one of the largest buildings the world-famed toe-dancers, Aurelia Kayton and Mary Williamson draw great throngs of people into Bright Lights. A glance inside reveals these Bright Lights to be none other than Ruth Soyers and Alice Smith, whose brightness was wont to illumine the whole school. In the center of the Park (relating thrilling and hair-breadth experiences) stand Mutt and Je(Y whom a close scrutiny reveals to be Nancy Lewis and Eunice Logwood sticking even closer together — if that were possible — than in the days of yore. One entire end of the grounds is converted into a huge skating rink, and I am not greatly surprised to see Lelia Richardson at the ticket window when I recall her former weakness for Rinks. It gives me extreme satisfaction to recognize in Nora Strohecker at least one girl who is not afraid of a Mouse. Such is her love for these creatures that she has on display as one of the amusements, the only wonderful Trained White Mice in existence. Wandering aimlessly about, and loitering around the entrance Mary Russell — from all indications — still retains her love for a Park(er). Among m.y lucky friends who have risen to dazzling heights of fame are Ruth Hankins who, always setting her goal higher, is now at the head of Emerson School of Oratory, and Olivia Newbill, who controls the most wonderful Bio- logical collection in the United States, while Myrtle Dunton, whose name is seen on the most beautiful Victrola records, charms all by her clear, high voice. I see a large classroom where the pupils are walking to and fro uttering the words ambulo, ambulas, ambulat, and finally it dawns upon me that Rita Hatcher and Hattie Curling are teaching Latin in Kennedy College by the direct method. Where the picturesque Hudson flows gently by is a large amphi- theater, and there Marcella Barnes sings her way into the hearts of thousands of people. Far over the seas IMarjorie Matthews labors incessantly with benighted heathen nations. Another of our number engaged in active Christian service is Helene Nichols, now National Y. W. C, A. President. When I behold her going about her work in a little ' ' cheese-box I am certain that she will never give up her Ford. Crossing the x tlantie Ocean, I catch sight of Lois Sinoot, who growing Wfl l irginian ' tired of her old lovers, has eloped with a New-man and is now fleeing from the wrath of an irate father. Their enthusiasm over the French language has led the Fulton twins and Ettie Fearing to gay Paree where they have established a young Ladies ' Seminary of the American type, in which Louise is able to make good use of her instruction in physical ed. I see Aristotle White studying intensively the architecture of her native country, Greece, and as she goes from place to place she gathers relics of the old Greek art. Wandering aim- lessly about, first on the snow-capped Alps in Switzerland, then down in sunny Italy, I behold Josie Guy. a veritable shadow of ] Iiss Walker. Other familiar faces now rise out of the darkness and portraj ' their paths of life. Sweetly and lovingly, Julia Chamblin brightens the home of a young rural preacher in the northern portion of our State. Margaret Barnard dutifully cares for the sick in a large New York Hospital, having left the teaching profes- sion for nursing, that she might have the privilege of managing more cases. After many vain attempts, Zozo Dixon has at last secured a Suitor to suit her ; while Mae Cox reigns supreme as a queen in the heart of a King — though not of the noble families of Europe. In a wild mountain district of western Kentucky, Katherine Cover now engages in Sabbath School extension work. I wonder what has caused Such a reformation, for, if I remember correctly, this girlie, like many others, preferred a siesta on Sunday mornings. Lula Jones ? Yes, it has all come about to that light-hearted, happy lassie as we had expected, and she at present bears the name of Worsham. Unspeakable, inexpressible joy and bliss is written on the countenance of Isadore Gills, and no more is needed to inform me of the presence of Just Willie. In a sleepy Virginia community is a cottage painfully neat. With a half dozen cats purring on the hearth-rug and a parrot asleep on his perch, dozing by the fire-side sit two old maids, their hair screwed up in a tight little hard knot on top of the head. The.se I recognize to be — surely this is not so — Ruth Russell and Louise Chiles. Alas! Sometimes Dame Rumor plays us false. Iloho ! What do I see ? Why, before me comes the vision of the Virginia State Teachers ' Association, and seated in different parts of the room are all the rest, every single girl of the class of 1916. To think that of all the air castles built in those far off days, all of these should have tumbled to earth. — ] I. Helen Gray. XTbe IRew Books 1bi8toncal Morks Getting Acquainted — By New Arrivals.

An attempt to formulate plans whereby the new girls should get acquainted, was made by individual members and by various organizations of the State Normal School, Farmville, Virginia, in the fall of 1914. The Young Women ' s Christian Association gave teas in the home-like Association room, while the Juniors had a party in the gym at which the girls were given dolls as favors and the boys were presented with horns.

This tale then continues that Mr. Garth thought it best to seek greater opportunities, so went elsewhere. The next year Mr. Raymond Long was the recipient of the degree of S.

The dwellers in Senior-Land had receiv ed as an heritage from their predecessors the idea that a holiday should be given them in the Spring. The Ruler of this Land showed the dwellers that this holiday was a privilege he had granted them, and was not theirs by right.

The music rang clear, and merrily, from the throats of one hundred and fifty happy seniors, who, having laid aside their looks of dignity, were entering into the spirit of the occasion, with hearts light and gay. And what was the occasion? Why, listen and I ' ll tell you. Up at the Normal School, the class of stately seniors, took it upon them- selves to add unto their number, a wise and mighty counselor, knowTi as Mr. Ray- mond Long. Many pleasant moments did he give the class, and words of wisdom and advice did he expound to them. One night while thinking of his senior class, and realizing their love of sport, he decided that he would make glad their hearts with a real, true oyster roast. The next day, our beloved class president, told the band of stately seniors of the delightful feast in store for them, given by our Senior Man. At 3:45 the girls, clad in white middy-suits, sweaters, and caps, assembled in front of the auditorium, quite as excited as any crowd of children would be, who are going in search of adventure. When the signal for the start was given, the girls, marching off in groups of threes and fours, began to enter into the fun, which, beginning at that moment, continued for the rest of the evening. Drawing near the spot known as Lithia Springs, the girls were greeted with a wonderful sight. Over in the distance, among the trees, could be seen burning brightly and cheerfully, two huge fires. Now and then, white-capped and white-aproned figures, could be seen moving here and there. The girls, urged on by the scene, moved quickly to the spot. How they did laugh as they recognized that the white-capped figures were no other than their teachers and friends — Messrs. Lear, Somers, Coyner, and Duke — who were surely making model chefs ! What a merry time the girls did have ! ! Seated in rings around the fire, watching the oj ' sters roasting in the bright flames, they sang, cheered, 107 e l i irginian and ate oysters to their heart ' s content. Song after song arose as the night grew darker, the fire burned brighter, and their hearts beat lighter. Eaymond, Raymond, First you feed us oysters, Then you feed us coffee, Eaymond, Raymond, Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! For your oysters; And then Chefs, Chefs First you build a little fire. Then you put them on a wire, Chefs, Chefs Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! For your work, well done. Having spent a merry hour or two before the bright fire, they were soon, oh ! so soon, told that they must depart to the Normal. Before leaving, the happy seniors, cheered for their senior man, the wonderful chefs, their class, and the Normal. As they walked back to the school, in the starry night, the following songs floated in the air : He ' s just the man that we ' ve been looking for A — long — long — while; He ' s just the man that we ' ve been looking for, He ' s just our style — Mr. Long is his name. And he ' 11 surely win f ame- Fame for tlie Senior Class. He ' s just the man that we ' ve been looking for, A — long — long — while. They say that Mr. Long, he ain ' t got no style. He ' s got style all the while. He ' s got style all the while. They say that Mr. Long, he ain ' t got no style; He ' s got style all the while — all the w-h-i-1-e. Three cheers for Farmville, S. N. S., Three cheers for Farmville Normal, Cheer for our Farmville, Cheer S. N. S. 108 ' fl IC irginian ' Having reached the school, the tired, out happy band of seniors, entered into the following song, with vim and force. As we come to the end of our perfect day, And stand busy with our thoughts, As the bell rings out with its carols gay, To end the joy that our day has brought; Do we think to ourselves what this perfect daj ' , Has meant to our happy hearts, When the sun sank down with its flaming rays. For our feast we had to depart. Well, this has been a perfect day, And a happy journey, too. And it leaves us with hearts that are big and strong, And thoughts that are kind and true, For memory has painted this perfect day, with colors that n ' ere will fade. As we think at the end of this perfect day, of the joy that our friend has made. And so ended one of the many happy days for the Senior Class of 1916. P. S. — Many of the above songs are perfectly original, made up as they were on the spur of the moment, bj ' the class. — HaeeiETTE V.

Miss Smith — You did not call mine. Mr. C. — I think I called yours, Miss Smith. It sounds very familiar. Miss Dunn (in Nature Study Class) — Ma ry Downey, have you seen any birds to report? Maky D. — I saw a bluebird and a woodpecker. Miss D. — What kind of a woodpecker? Mary D. — It was a — a — downy woodpecker, of course. Dr. Milledge (Geography Class) — It is so warm in Arizona that the people there don ' t raise anything but dates. ' ' Jitney — ' ' That ' s nothing, we make dates right here at S. N. S., and in the winter time too. ' ' Underclass Girl (looking at drawing of brains on the board) — Oh! These things are brains, aren ' t they? I think they are awful looking. ' ' Wise Junior — ' ' If you think those are awful, .just take a look over here at these real brains in acohol. Underclass Girl (speaking to instructor) — Mr. Somers, do you mean to tell me that you have anything in your head like that? Mr. Lear (Sociology Class) — It is the hardest thing in the world to get a woman hanged. E. M. — And it ' s very rare Mr. L. — ' ' Yes, Yes ' ' E. M. (finishing) — that a woman needs to be hanged. Mr. G. (English Class) — The topics for you to report on are written on this board. Q. E. (reading topics) — Mr. 6 , what does writing cover? Voice — ' ' Why, paper of course. ' ' Dk. B.

Bobbie and Betty are very good sometimes — two or three times a week, at least — though you might never guess it from their roguish faces, and then mauinia gives them for dessert something which they like very much. More often than anything else it is Jell-O, not merely because it is more economical and easier to prepare than the other good things they like, but because they prefer it to almost anything else and because it is good for them. is pure and wholesome, and it makes up into an almost infinite variety of dishes, some to appeal to the most fastidious appetites, and others to satisfy any healthy appetite. There could not be anything better for the Sunday dinner dessert than one of these delicious dishes. It can be made as simple or as elaborate as any one could wish, just as the Jell-O dessert for every-day dinner can. A beautiful new Jell-O Book tells the story of a lovely young bride, who knew nothing about cooking, but who soon learned how to make up delicious desserts and salads. Her experiences are illustrated in reproductions of beautiful paintings made for the book by a Boston artist. If you will write and ask for a copy of this book, it will lOc. a package be sent to you promptly — free, of course. Jell-O is made in seven pure fruit flavors : Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate. Each 10 cents at any grocery or general store. THE GENESEE PURE FOOD CO., Le Roy, N. Y., and BridEebuTs, Ont. Jell-O received the highest award, the GRAND PRIZE, at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francis- co, and the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego.
