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.

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.

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.
