If, in that distant future, this little study may help to bridge the chasm be- tween the years and to brighten the memories of happy days spent at dear old S. N.

The heavens, with all the myriad stars a-shine The sparkling ripple of the tiny brook, Each had its place within his heart. He took A rare delight in beauty — every line Or curve in arching tree or vine Was ecstacy; he loved each fer n-draped nook. A wondrous mind was his: from morn till night He stored it from the ponderous tomes he read ; The world acknowledged him most erudite. Yet plain and simple was the life he led; To serve his fellowman was his delight; And far and wide, his gentle influence spread. Jennie Masters Tabb.

Bagby ' s one of those good old scouts who hail from Portsmouth-by-the-sea . Enter- ing two years ago she carried every thing by storm, and since then she has succeeded in winning for herself, a host of friends. It ' s funny, but she always goes around with a long face if anyone mentions a new up- rising on the border. Page Twenty-nine THf IR,BINlAN[gn9l7l MABEL BARNES Amelia, Va.

To her has been given the gift of song and when thinking of her we will remember her wonderful voice. EVELYN BARROW Rome, Ga. Next upon our list is Jane . She does look dignified, doesn ' t she? But heed the word of one who knows, she isn ' t as dignified as she looks. Jane is a studious student ' ' and as conscientious as you make ' em. You just ought to glimpse her with those glasses perched on her nose, and her head dug in a book. But lo! you should hear her laugh, ' tis as catching as the measles, altho ' it doesn ' t take as long to develop. Page Thirty [THF VIR.BlNllAN g ri9T7l ANNE HELEN BERLIN Norfolk, Va.

When anyone speaks the word Latin this hustling girl naturally pops into the focal spot of your brain. If she doesn ' t make a Latin teacher equal to Miss Rice it will be all on account of Tommy . Anne is a jolly girl and goes at everything with a rush! crash! bang! and always comes off the victor. Do you love to waltz? Just get Anne to lead you through one and I ' ll promise a treat which can ' t be equaled. MAY BLANKINSHIP Naruna, Va. Cunningham Literary Society; F. I. F. 1.

True merit is like a river; the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. She doesn ' t look as if she had the pep she has, but just get her on one of her high keys and she will make you laugh yourself silly; for with her jolly good laugh, and her jolly odd song, May strolls the halls. Her hair may not seem to lie fiat on her head, but we assure you it is merely another brilliant idea shooting . Up l -air Vft Jj j1 Page Thirty-one rTHE IR,BlNHANgn9i7l RUTH BLANTON Farmville, Va.

I do wonder what new stunts Fred Jr. has pulled off, what Bro ' Frank has said, or whom she has spotted for a new Cunningham. BETTIE BROWN BOARD Lynch Station, Va.

S ie ivill, and she will not; she grants, denies, consents, retracts, advances, and then flies . Bold, brave, beloved, benevolent, bright, busy Betty Brown Board began broadening by beautiful behavior; believing badness blocked best brilliancy.

Here is another brown-eyed Susan who is the busiest of all busy Seniors. Most of her time is spent in demanding of those third year girls, In ' est-ce que c ' est ? If any- body is hunting for a Domestic Science ex- 1 pert just get Louise to let you taste one of those flakey-light-as-thistledown biscuit that she makes. She, will surely get the job!

MAIE EVELYN BRINKLEY Suffolk, Va. p:„:., n Athenian Literary Society; Cotillion Club; Ple an B. O. M. O.; E. A. T. S. Maie is a tall, striking, looking girl, and oh! how she can trip it on the light fantastic toe . This is a secret, Maie is very conscientious ' cause she just will re- port to student government headquarters every night after light bell. There! the cat is out of the bag by the time I ' ve said a 1 word. All in all, she is a dead game sport, and a good old pal. Page Thirty-four | THE IR,EINlAN n9l7 MARY ELIZA BRINKLEY Suffolk, Va. Argus Literary Society; Buffalo Camp Fire Girl; Membership Committee of Y. W. C. A.; Spree Club. If you by chance should want to meet A girl who is always pleasant and sweet, I am sure that you would also find In Mary one who is very kind. YATES BROWNE Portsmouth, Va. Portsmouth Club; Tanda Camp Fire; Towngirls ' Committee, Y. W. C. A. She hath a pleasant ivord And smile for every one . Here is a little brown-eyed girl with brown hair, and a Brown (e) name. Her motto must be for everything to harmonize. If this is the case, Yates certainly has one quality that so many of us lack. Her fail- ing is talking too much (?) and staying in the hall after light bell. As we know her worth and willingness to help others, we will not be surprised to hear of great deeds accomplished by her in the future. Page Thirty-five ITHE VIR,EINlANgri9l7 HILDRER D.

Here ' s hoping that a good scholar, a broad thinker, and a grand girl will not be offended. GLADYS WHISNER CANTER Philippi, W. Va. B. E. A. N.

She ' ll make a very successful teacher if she doesn ' t change her course in life. Page Thirty- |THE fcVIR,EINlANril9l7| JEANNETTE BOARDMAN GARNEY Deanes, Va. Kindergartner; Glee Club; I. K. U.

Wearied of shams, insincerity, and flattery, we seek Jean; and here we find plain truth without any of the so called permissible disguises. The plain truth about one ' s self, when presented by one whose charm of personality is a predominating characteristic, makes this truth doublv welcome. MATTIE MOZELLE CARTER Rice, Va. Ellen Richard ' s Club; R. S. T. Yes, everybody knows Mattie, our little rural teacher — and who said she ' s bashful? Well, you just ought to see her on the train each day as she goes to and from Rice. You see you can ' t always trust a modest down- cast eye. In spite of this dreadful habit, Mattie is a charming girl, and we can ' t help admiring her sweet ways. Page Thirty-eight |THE foVlR.EINIJ Nfi i9l7 FANNIE MELVA CARTER Rice, Va. Ellen Richard ' s Club; R. S. T. ; Ruffner Debating Society. A lovable girl whom every one likes, true up and down, through and through. She is a good teacher, but ask Mrs. Harris if you think she will teach very long. She knows because she records the dates both Friday and Sunday nights. MAMIE DANIEL CARWILE Madisonville, Va. Glee Club; Cunningham Literary Society. Mamie is one of those lovable girls you are always glad to know, and never forget. She likes to laugh, play, and sing, and most of all she likes to teach in the 2nd. grade. I can ' t tell which she loves the best, her su- pervisors, St. Elmo, or (?). Does she expect to teach school ? If her room mate knows and understands aright she is surveying another vocation. Pagf Thirty-nine rfHOA IF BINl N T9l7l MVRTIS CHAFIN Blackstone, Va. Kindergartner ; I. K. U. Does this little girl with a saucy curl look like a very serious person? Well, she can be when she wants to, and she also knows how to help a fellow out of trouble. SARA CHARTERS Norfolk, Va. A kind and gentle heart she had to com- fort friends and foes . Sarah is noted for her pretty brown eyes, and ability to case . She is the most fickle girl in the class, and doesn ' t (?) mind people saying so. Her worst faults are stay- ing up after light bell and getting up at 7:30. However the training school is im- proving these and we anticipate that by June, Sarah will be an ideal School ma ' am. Page Forty miEl VireEINlANcn9T7l MATILDA CLARK Washington, Va. Y. W. C.

Who can forget Tillie, with her innocent pranks and merry fun-loving nature. When you feel yourself growing angry at one of her pranks, you are instantly disarmed by her mischievous, I didn ' t mean to done it . MARION ELLIOT COBB Suffolk, Va. Athenian Literary Society; Town Girls ' Membership Committee Y. W. C. A.; B. O. M. O. ; Buffalo Camp Fire Group; Spree Club. Many happy days have passed and gone, And still we stand to-gether; Rich in love for friends she ' s won I know no honor better. Oh to always have her with us, Never to break this chain of trust.

Sigma Sigma Sigma ; Mu Omega ; Ben- edictine; Corresponding Secretary Cunning- ham Literarv Society Fall, ' 16; Delta; Spree Club; Love ' Set Tennis Club; Bible Study Committee Y. W. C. A. Sentimentally I am disposed to harmony — But organically I am incapable of a tune. Here is a girl who is entirely indifferent to school and its worries when there is any pleasure in view. The fact that the gay social world has its demoralizing effects, is shown by her late arrival at classes. Though she has an inclination for the arts, they are quite overshadowed by her love for pleasure. Aline is a fine teacher, especially of music, but much to Gyp ' s disgust, her singing is always flat. RUTH E. COOKE.

She is most affectionate, I ' ve been told, and is even said to be just a little — fickle?????, so it is pretty hard to keep up with her carryings on. But with it all Cookie is a good old sport and you are exceedingly fortunate to be able to call her vour friend. Page Forty-two rnTE WIR.EINIANa 1917 | RUTH RAWLINS COOKE Norfolk, Va.

ANN EDWARD COPPS Schuyler, Va. Kindergartener; Arts and Crafts Club; Treasurer of Jefferson Society, ' 16- ' 17; Psychology Club. Eddie always cops all of our hearts. Miles of merriment is exactly what she is. She thinks her vocation is to lead little kidlets and certainly does it too. Her favorite say- ing is, Come on lets talk about O — And like the dog, thereby hangs a tale. Page Forty-thret iTHE fcVJR,ElNlANg p977 LUCILLE RAYMOND COTTON Portsmouth, Va. Tanda Camp Fire; Athenian Literary Society; Portsmouth Club; Missionary Giving Committee, Y. W. C. A. Beauty and virtue shine forever ' round thee . This certainly applies to Lucille Cotton (seed), for she is one of the S. N. S. beauties. Her big brown eyes would capture ' most any man, especially Luther (ans). Her chief occupation is studying and this results in A tickets. Lucile is a great worker and succeeds in whatever she undertakes, so we have no fear that she will not succeed as a school ma ' am. HELEN COVERSTON Saltville, Va. Pierian Literary Society; President Glee Club, ' 16- ' 17; Nonpariel Tennis Club; B. E. A. N. S.; Music Committee, Y. YV. C. A. In our opinion Helen is one of the most charming girls in school. Possessed of a rare beauty and an unusual musical ability, she has been the recipient of many compli- mentary remarks. She has never been heard to say a word against any one, and no one has ever been heard to say a word against her. What more can be said in her favor?

CARRIE ASHLEY COWHERD Gordonsville, Va. Pierian Literary Society; Camp Fire; Cox Ranch ; Mamebetosa Bromigrolees. Biff! Boom! Bang!! It ' s there to stay! This characteristic is one ' s first and most lasting impression of Carrie. Her utter lack of interest in the gintlemen we feel surely is caused by some disappointment in love.

Gertrude is a most complex, complicated medley. We haven ' t space to enumerate them (that is, the complexities and complica- tions) but we do want to say that she ' s not nearly as fierce as she seems in this picture. She has oodles of sense, too, in spite of the fact that she ' s very fond of Dummies. Page Forty-six ITHE VIR,EINlANrii917| VIRGINIA BRUCE DARDEN Driver, Va.

Nevertheless when she does speak she really casts forth pearls of thought. Page Forty-seven [THE fo IR,ElNlANgfti9i7 1 ANNA LAWRENCE DERR Roanoke, Va. Roanoke Club. Here we have a very marked personality. Anna is either a laughing frolicking child of ten, or — and not seldom — the personifica- tion of that disposition which goes with her wealth of red — beg pardon — auburn hair. Anna ' s favorite pastime is tracing back an interesting pedigree. One that has long offered her the most interesting study is that of Crenskv . BERTHA GLADYS DOLEN Norwood, Va. Jefferson Society. Out of her eyes shines the light of un- shelfishness. Yes, her name is Bertha and she is bearer of joy and help wherever she goes. Nothing is too great or too little for her to do to help others. Many a tear and much discourage- ment has been made to vanish by her kind- ness, especially to homesick girls. Her good and earnest work has been recognized and appreciated by her teachers. She is known everywhere as a girl to be depended on. Page Forty-eight TilO N IR.BINlANg i9i7j LOUIS DRUMELLER Farmville, Va. LEE DRUMELLER Farmville, Va. There should have been two paragraphs, but who could separate them — even in a para- graph? They are never apart, and what can be said of one is just as true of the other. Louis and Lee are our Training School girls, and many have been the bewildered Senior teachers who have looked apprehensively for two mischievous boys and have found in their places two charming girls. Though they are always worked to death , their sense of humor and good common sense bring them out victorious. Indeed they ' re both on the road to fame in art.

Dunks is another one of those Hill City girls. Arriving at the Normal four years ago, you ' d think she ' d be some finished teacher. She is! However on account of some outside influence we fear that all those years of learning to teach the young idea will be in vain, as she has acquired the over- whelming desire to live in a little bungalow a deux.

She can spiel forth Latin, too, and declares that Vergil ' s description of Orcus is perfectfully wonderful, even if she couldn ' t sleep after reading it. You ' d think from this that she is awfully bookish and dullish, but she isn ' t at all. Just the reverse.

Ruth doesn ' t seem to know whether she will teach or not; however, with her per- severance and good will we anticipate much success to her. MARY ETHEL RIVES Norfolk, Va.

Hearken, Ye People, and list to the swan-song of those that are going! This is the song of my going, bright visions of love and of service, Of faith and of conquering power, of footprints to leave by the ocean Of time! Aye, the bright, golden glory of youth as I look o ' er the landscape. Scorning the grey and the sodden, eager for golden and crimson, Weighing the choice of each pursuit, catching at glittering baubles, Nor knowing that Fate soon may turn me in irresistible movement; Crushed into dust in a moment lies all of my puff ball of fancy ! Catching at grey, disillusioned, my grey too, has crumbled to ashes. Crown my head, all ye peoples, with laurel, with myrtle, with bindings of purple. I am the voice of youth, in me is the hope of the nation. I am the spirit of passion, of frenzy, unreasoning madness. I am the heart of the planets, eternally new and upspringing. Calm is my soul and untroubled by dreams of ambition of peoples, Yet I am ever present in the hearts of those who have risen. Higher than stars have I fixed my chosen abode for the ages! I am enduring forever, the music of spheres is my heart-beat. I am the voice of the aeons, the center of rhythmic world-motion. Deck me with garlands. Ye Peoples ! Praise me with timbrells and dancing, I am the glorious present, the past and the gift-laden future. Time knoweth not of my going, yet I die with the flames of the sunset. Mourn for my going, with ashes, with sackcloth and ashes, 0, mourn me, With beatings of breast and the moanings of hearts that are broken with anguish, For I am the golden and crimson that I stretch forth my hand to, unattaining. I am in myself, what I long for, the glorious spirit of youth. I am the voice of the classes, long gone and now almost forgotten ! I am the voice of the present, the class that goes out to the morrow ! I am the voice of the future, the mirad unseen faces That press on, innumerable shadows and presage of things that are coming! Hearken, ye people! Give ear to the swan — song that tells of my going. Elizabeth C. F. Malcolm. Page One hundred two ITHE foVIR.ElNHANgSl9l7| One Version of Love XT was Saturday morning, hut very unlike most Saturday mornings at Glen View. The halls were alive with girls calling one another to hurry down, for the practice would soon begin. Already there were a great many girls from all classes out on the athletic field, waiting for the word of the physical director, when they would then try out for the several stunts that would take place at the Annual Field Day, which was to be held two weeks later. Up in her room Genevieve Livingston, known by all the girls as Gene, heard the excitement and buzz below, and she smiled as she slipped into her gymnasium suit. She would not hurry down, for she knew that when she did go, all eyes would be turned toward her and greetings would meet her on every side. Now Gene was not vain, but she was Glen View ' s star athlete, and she knew it, for had she not in the two pears previous broken the high -jumping record, hurdled with the most perfect form, and won for the class the relay race? She was also forward on the Junior team and the best dancer in school. Gene took a hurried survey of herself in the mirror as she tied her stray straggling locks into her middy tie. No wonder , she mused, that the girls are all crazy over Charlotte Crenshaw. She is pretty. And look at my stringy hair, my unaristocratic nose, and my freckles. Why, if I do say it, my brown eyes are the only things that do me justice. Charlotte only entered school this temi and is just a Sophomore, and yet she is one of the leaders, already. But anyway, I don ' t reckon she will out do me in athletics. And as she ran down the steps she had a mental image of Gene Livingston wearing the big school sweater that was to be given to the girl winning the greatest number of points on Field Day. But as Gene approached the athletic field she became aware that there was already a center of interest. Good! Good ! came the cries of the girls who were gathered around someone. Gene could not distinguish who it was that was vaulting high into the air. Then came the sharp whistle of the director and the crowd fell apart to reassemble in their class groups. It was then that Gene recognized the central figure to be none other than Charlotte. Throughout the entire practice her eyes followed Charlotte, and she lacked her usual spirit and vivacity. The girls noticed this too, and although her class stuck by her, she could see the admiration for Charlotte growing. That night when the hunch , gathered in Gene ' s room for the customary chat, of course Field Day was the topic. I tell you , cried Mary, Charlotte is a wonder, and you ' ll have to work to get ahead of her, Gene. Yes, yes, that you will, chimed in Bessie and Ruth. I ' ll stick by Gene, she ' s won before and, I know she will again, cried loyal little Nancy. Page One hundred three FTHEl ViraEINlA Ngn9l7l Only Gene knew how the words stung. Her pride was hurt and she was not at all sure that she would win again. She wanted to say something about Charlotte, something that would hurt her, but, no, it was bad enough to think evil things in her heart. As the days passed the practice continued and the two girls, Gene and Charlotte, put every spare minute into athletics. Still that envious spirit influenced Gene ' s naturally sunny disposition until she almost hated Charlotte Crenshaw. Finally, the day set apart, dawned fair and clear. Banners and pennants were flying and among the shouting, singing, throng of spectators, the con- testants came down, but it was with a misgiving heart that Gene came. She wanted to run away at the last minute, but it was in her unwritten creed never to go back on anything she had once undertaken. Would they never begin ? She wanted it over with, for it must come. At last! Through the megaphone comes the announcement of the high jump and the contestants stand in line. One by one the jumpers are knocked out, until only four are. left. Five-feet-five, another down. Fve- feet -seven, another. Only Gene and Charlotte are left. It is Gene ' s turn — can she make it? Five-feet-nine — over she goes. Charlotte follows, clearing the same height. Five-feet-ten — ,Gene makes it again. Charlotte ' s foot touches the rope, but she is over — no, the rope has fallen ! ' •Gene! Gene! ' ' come the shouts of the Juniors. Over again. Gene! Once more Gene tries and just clears five-feet-eleven — that is her limit. Now the hurdles are on ! Over and over them they go, each with a marked beauty of grace and splendid form. Gene ' s enthusiasm has returned and with it her pride. Now she is the same old daring, almost reckless Gene. She just skims over the hurdles to see how near she can come to missing, and yet not miss. But, behold, as she takes the last one, with seeming victory iu her eyes, her toe touches the hurdle and down it goes! But Charlotte comes out victorious. It is of no use! ' ' , cried Gene to herself in despair. The stunts came and went leaving Gene and Charlotte with an almost even number of points. But Gene did not now care, she had given up hope, and besides, she did not care for victory by a hair ' s breadth, she wanted it full fledged. The last thing- was the relay race. As Gene stepped dispritedly into place, little Nancy rushed up to her and whispered. Our class, Gene, has never been defeated. Do your part to help her now. ' ' Gene could not but do her best for her class. She had never before run as she ran that day. The rivalry between the Juniors and Sophomores had always been intense, and now excitement ran high. Gene was leading, the Junior line, and not four feet behind was Charlotte at the head of the Sophs. Juniors! Juniors! ' , came the shouts from one side. And from the other. Sophomores! Gene spurred on. She was no longer thinking of herself. The Juniors must win! The Juniors must win! , kept singing in her ears, until before she knew it, she had passed under the rope, and tumbled into Nancy ' s arms, with Charlotte two feet behind. Oh, Gene, you ' ve won the sweater , cried Nancy in glee. Oh, I don ' t care a snap about the sweater now, said Gene. It ' s the Juniors who have won. Nancy, I ' ve been a big goose all the time not to know that our Camp Fire Law is true when it says, ' Love is service for others so deep that self is forgotten. ' Shannon Morton.

Raymond Long, Dustrial Art, Is strong in affairs of the heart, We must appreciate ' Cause we participate Is the doctrine he knows off bv heart. Samuel Page Duke, training school, Hi- frontal bone shows he ' s no fool, And he looks very wise, Forbids middy ties, When we Seniors make teaching the rule. Grover T. Somers, P-S-Y, Likes the home office, but why? Is it dear Molly P. Or Miss Mary White C. That proves the lure to his eye? J. Merrit Lear, M.A., Accused us of leading astray A very good teacher, Vocation, a preacher, Himself, shocking statement to say Miss Pierce is a regular hiker, On old institutions a striker, For farmers ' wives. She talks and strives, And anyone can ' t help but like her. Jimmie M. Grainger, the best, He ' s truer than all the rest, Tho ' he articulates Long enough for the Fates To spin, weave and cut, ' tis professed. Miss Barto, poor dear, has some A.B. ' s, Barto Adored if you please. Though the distance be wide, Vet they rush to her side, In order to help her to sneeze. M. B. Coyner of History He teaches us how to kiss, you and me, With an airy peck On the back of the neck, But just think what we miss, you and me. Miss Wheeler, reading enlightens, (Sometimes, very rarely she frightens) Through a misty pane, She sees more than the rain, And fancy her real world doth brighten.
