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

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.

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
