THE VIRGINIAN Publisned by the Senior Class of the STATE NORMAL SCHOOL for WOMEN FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN en a srhnhr. rultitrrJi ani brnafimtttJ r , A prnfrasur. bnnorrli nnh ralprmrti; A grntlputan nnblr nnh trur; en 3(oBf;ili iE rrttt IGpar GREETINGS ' 111 E, the staff of The Virginian give to the Senior Class this Annual, a modest result of days of toil. If this edition serves to record the many things of interest during the past year; if it furnishes a means of keeping alive our love for dear old S. N. S. then our effort has not been in vain. For any errors that may be seen by the critical eye we ask only a just criticism, remembering the sincerity of our purpose. Should there be seen anything worthy of comment, anything that may help to call to mind in the future years, the faces of our dear friends and the memory of liours that were spent at S. N. S. then we have accomplished our one desire. IRGINIANfflSTAFF V. R.HAT=IDIW, IxGER Scheie Louisa Glassell Lelia O ' Neil .

S.; Presi- dent Spree Club; Vice-Pres. Rural Life Club; Assistant Business Manager of the FOCUS, ' 17; Dramatic Club. Did anyone say anything about class spirit? Well we have a personification of it right here. . ' nnette is one of the bigg est girls in school, if that can express a good scholar, a broad thinker, a creation of action and mirth.

Eight Week Club, ' 17; Treas- urer of Junior Class; Athletic Association. Margaret — what fond memories the name recalls. She knows just how to talk to a new home-sick girl. Her financial ability is not to be doubted for she can do more with one penny than most of us can do with two. Page Eighteen KATHERINE MILDRED ANDERSON Lynchburg, Virginia Cunningham Literary Society; Dramatic Club; Treasurer Senior Class; Nonpareil Ten- nis Club; Pres. Lynchburg Club. Here feast your eyes on this lady of talents, she possesses great dramatic abiliti.-, and as treasurer she has McAdoo skinned a mile. I guess you all know why Kitty watches the re- hearsals of the Green Stockings so faithfully, if vou don ' t, just recall the heroine. However I think that Lieutenant over in France takes up most of her time now. ELLEN DOUGLAS FICKLEN ARTHUR Greenville, North Carolina Cunningham Literary Society; Nonpareil Tennis Club; Membership Committee Y. W. C. A., ' 16- ' 17; Vice-Pres. Fourth Year Class; Social Service Committee Y. W. C. A.; Spree Club; B. E. A. N. S. If you want to laugh and be inerry just look for Doug She ' s a tine old sport and can drive blues of the very worst kind away. But how can we find her? Just wait till some- one comes down the hall calling, Have you anything to eat? ' Twill surely be Doug. HELEN ARTHUR Leeville, Virginia Business Manager of the FOCUS; Jr. Vice- Pres. of Student Government; Senior Commit- tee of Student Government; Treas. Cunningham Literary Society, ' 17; Reporter Cunningham Literary Society, ' 16; Corresponding Secretary Jefferson Society, ' 15; Conference and Conven- tion Y. W. C. A., ' 17; Publicitv Committee Y. W. C. A., ' 16; Southwest Club! What would the FOCUS do without Helen to work up its business? She is one of those girls who can always be depended upon as is shown by her unsurpassed business ability and her loyalty to the Student Government. Helen is a sincere and trustworthy friend and if you have not known her you are certainly the loser.

B.; Cotil- lion Club; Spree Club; Por ' smouth Club; Pres. Nonpareil Tennis Club; Basketball Vice-Pres. of the Athletic Association; Jr. Basketball; Sen- ior Basketball. Blessed old Virginia! The girl whom every- ones likes. She has many good characteristics — far too many to enumerate. ' hen we think of Virginia we always think of basketball, for she does star there. But we also think of a dandy Senior President. A good pal is she. .JOSEPHINE BARNES Portstiouth, A ' irginia Pierian l.iterarv Society; Finance Committee Y. V. C. A.; CJlee Club; Pres. Portsmouth Club, 17- ' 18; I.. C. D. ; Athletic Association; Wah-wah-tay-see; Camp Fire. -V niniy licarl miiki li a cheerful coiinte- naiiee. Jii is a happy, laughing girl with winning ways. She always has a pleasant word and snile f }r everyone. She has made many friends here who are devoted to her and know they have a true, lasting friend. She is ready to have a chat with everyone except when she is 1 U3y fi.xing her hair or casing with Josie. MAGCilE B. BARKER Nipper, A ' irginia V. W. C. A.; .Athletic -Association; Ruffner Society. And thai smile, like sunshine darts. Into many a sunless heart. Maggie is (piiet and reserved and at first seerrs indifferent, but after knowing her you learn she has a very sweet, ]o ' able disposi- tion, and alwa s remains true to her friends. Page Twenty JOSEPHINE BARKSDALE Petersburg, Virginia Eight Week Club; Glee Club; Y. W. C. A. Athletic Association ; L. C. D. Here ' s to dear old Josephine. Once a friend always a friend. She is the same today, to- morrow, and forever. Her sincerity and frank- ness have won her a host of friends who will always remain true to hfr. We know she will still keep the flame of love burning for dear old S. . S. and never abate one whit in her love for Gravv . ELIZABETH BROOKS BAIRD Norfolk, Virginia Glee Club; Kindergartner ; Vice-Pres. Athe- nian Literary Society, ' 17; Sec. and Treas., Nor- folk Club; Social Service Chairman Y. W. C. A.; I. K. U. Valuable things come in smnll packages. That ' s airy, fairy, BufFy . Valuable messages come bv special delivery. That ' s her dailv mail and she ' s worth it. MARY ELIZABETH BARNES Gargatha, Virginia Corresponding Sec. Ruffner Societv ; French Club; Camp Fire; Y. W. C. A. What are you doing Mary? Writing lesson plans. Always a lesson plan! They are the bane of her existence. Mary isn ' t all lesson plans though; she ' s as quiet and dignified as can be, always ready to lend a helping hand. She says she ' s going to be an old maid, but her friends say «he isn ' t Go- ing to be. Ptiijc Tiventy-one MARTHA BASS Rice, Virginia Ellen Richards Club; Jefferson Society; Y. W. C. A.; Glee Club; Rural Life Club. Martha loves Nature Study and almost any time she can be seen chasing a robin or a wren. She ' s a mixture of good common sense and fun. LUCILE BATTEN Smithfield, Virginia Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority; Cunningham Literary Society; Devotional Committee Y. W. C. A.; Corresponding Secretary Cunningham Literary Society, ' 17. True merit is like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. Lucile is a combination of fun, mischief, and dignity. The last is the best known character- istic, but the others are not hard to find by any means. Everybody loves Lucile for her sweet disposition and her unselfishness. MARGARET BATTEN Smithfield, Virginia Glee Club; Y. V. C. A. Cabinet; Cunning- ham Literary Societ} ' . To those ' who knozc thee not, No ivords can paint — And those ivho kno-iv thee — Knoic all icords are faint. Margaret is very quiet and reserved, and those who do not know her think she is digni- fied, but her friends have sufficient proof that she is not. She is conscientious in all her work, and when the work is over, she is readv for a good time. She is fond of keeping others awake after light bell and all her troubles end with a laugh. Paffc Tiventy-tivo MARION NORFLEET BEALE Holland, Virginia Cunningham Literary Society; W. A. N. K.; Nonpareil Tennis Club; Senior Basketball; Athletic Association. He is the most insipid thing I have ever seen — he has absolutely nothing in his face. From this one would imagine that Marion is a man hater — but oh! no, quite the opposite, her ideal must be a walking Apollo, that ' s all. But as there ain ' t no such animal , we pre- dict for her a long teaching career. F. IRVING BLANTON Farmville, Virginia I. K. U.; Reporter Cunningham Literary Society, ' 15- ' 16; Recording Sec, ' 17- ' 18; Dele- gate to Blue Ridge, ' 16; Cor. Sec, ' 16- ' 17 Y. W. C. A.; Rec. Sec, ' I7- ' 18 Y. W. C.

A. h ' ot for herself, hut for the ii-orld she lives. Why go to Blue Ridge? Ask Irving, be- cause she has volumes to tell about it, and will be delighted to have an interested audience. In fact, she can talk to you about almost every- thing — and this is one of her attractions. She is devoted to her work and is faithful to her duty. MARY CATHERINE BOOKER Martinville, Virginia Glee Club; D. I. R. K. ; V. W. C. A. You can know Mary a long time without knowing very much about her, for she has that gift of being able to keep her affairs to her- self. She ' s very unusual, too, in another re- spect — she ' s never had a case! It ' s not in- difference tho, for she has a host of friends among both faculty and students. Piiffe Twenty-three LAURA BOYD BOTELER Remington, ' irginia Y. W. C. A.; Rural Life Club; Ruffner So- ciety; Athletic Association. Laura is a happy, fun-loving girL Whenever we hear anyone giggle we may be sure that Laura is somewhere in sight or hearing dis- tance. She has also been noted for her bravery ever since the day she left the fifth grade to teach in the seventh. JESSIE OLIVL ' i BRETT Portsmouth, Virginia Senior Committee Student Government; Treas. Y. W. C. A., ' 17- ' 18; Delegate Blue Ridge, ' 16- ' 17; Critic Pierian Literarv Socierv, ' 17; Sec. Dramatic Club, ' 17- ' 18; Sec. Glee Club, ' 17- ' 18; Portsmouth Club; Senior Basket- ball; Athletic Association; L. C. D. Azo come on tioi.v, don ' t mind such stuff, For hehnld in ' me ' your old friend ■Bluff ' . Here ' s to Jessie, the most independent in our class. She makes a Rep wherever she goes by her many talents, such as the gift of Song and being a Dramatic Lady , but should you be around when she pulls a C on Hygiene you would t hink December was July on account of the change of temperature . Nevertheless Jessie is a strong, striking, Old Pal for us all. MABELLE BROOKS Charlottesville, ' irginia Be to her virtues very kind. Be to her faults a little hind. Very few of us know her, because she does not believe in a variety of friendships. She prefers to remain devoted and intimate to a few, rather than reach for many. Once know her and vou ' ll see however that she speaks for herself . Page Tiventy-four HELEN BRENT Lancaster, Virginia Gamma Theta ; Pres. Athenian Literary Society, ' 17; Pi Alpha; W. A. N. K. ; Glee Club; Vice-Pres. Farmville Branch I. K. U.; Kindergartner. Behold! Helen of the many talents. Can you find anything she can ' t do? Well it is more than we have been able to do. She could have put Orpheus to shame and could rival Shakespeare. She is a girl that can do things, has done things, and will continue to do things. Clever? Well. I guess. One has but to meet her to find that out. ELSIE B. BROOKS Portsmouth, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Devotional Com- mittee V. W. C. A., ' 16- ' 18; L. C. D.; Sec. and Treas. Portsmouth Club, ' 17- ' 18; Athletic As- sociation; Glee Club. She looks as clear as mornint roses nei ' ly ' ivas ied ivit i deiu. Elsie has other characteristics besides the one in the statistics. She has all the pigs beat on s(|uealing. I wonder why she is so interested in Camp Lee. SUE BRYANT Newsome, Virginia Athenian Literary Society; Y. W. C. A. Cab- inet; Chairman of Eight Week Club; Chair- man of War Work Committee; Ruffner Society; Sec. Ellen Richards. ' 16- ' 17; Treas, I. K. U., ' 17- ' 18; Ad-ki-va Camp Fire; Southampton Club. Did you say dependable? Well that is just Sue all over again. You can surely count on its being done if this same Sue is at the back of it. Would that we had many more with the same glad cheerful disposition in our Senior Class. I ' ai e Tiventy-fi-ve IRENE BUCKMAN Newport News, Virginia Y. V. C. A.; Mamebetosa Bramigralees. If ynu are looking for one on whom you can depend at all times go to Irene. That she is a splendid student is shown by the A tickets she gets. Matliematics is her hobbv. She expects to teach math, for O — several vears at least. GLADYS ERIE BURT Dendron, Virginia Pierian Literarv Society; Glee Club; B. H. E. M.; Y. W. C. A.; Ad-Ki-Ya Camp Fire. Unless you know Gladys well you will not appreciate her charms; for she is ver - quiet and demure, but when you know her you have found a true friend and a sincere girl. . NANCY LOUISE BUSH Hampton, Virginia Treas. Pierian Literary Society, ' 17; Pres. Pierian Literary Society, ' 17- ' 18; Room Com- mittee Y. W. C. A., ' 18; Music Committee, ' 17; Executive Board Y. W. C. A., ' 17- ' 18; Second . ' ssistant Business Manager FOCUS; Pres. In- ternational Kindergarten Union, ' 17- ' 18; Re- porter Glee Club; Athletic .Association; B. H. E. M. ; Hampton Club. Now here is a hustler for you — how on earth, Bush can do so much in our school activities and then pull A ' s all the time in her classes is a miracle to behold. The won- der of it all is that she stays in a chronic state of good humor. Page Tiventy-six EMMA BURTOiN Shanghai, Virginia Ruffner Society; Tennis Club; German Clnh; French Club. Here ' s Emma — with her airy little ways. Could you see her teaching that fourth grade you ' d need nothing more tr prove to you that she goes at things with a vim and gets them done. At unexpected moments Emma comes out with a question — (with emphasis on the Miss ). We may expect her to explode al- most anv moment. JOSEPHINE JOHNSTOX CARR Ashville, North Carolina Sigma Sigma Sigma; Mu Omega; Argus Literary Society; Social Service Committee, Y. W. C. A.; D. I. R. K.; Athletic Association; J. A. Club; Cotillion Club; Mandolin and Guitar Club. For ivorth is more than merely heinij seen or heard. This is certainly true of Jo. Those of us who know her best, know the extent of ability and the genuineness of her character. Jo is always happy, and she seems to carry sunshine in her smile wherever she goes. ANNIE LEE CARTER Houston, Virginia Secretary Buffalo Camp Fire; Finance Com- mittee Y. W. C. A.; Rural School Club; Ellen Richards Club; Jefferson Society; Le Cercle Francais; Secretary Halifax Club. As Annie Lee has been voted the most dig- nified in our class her friends predict for her a brilliant career as dignified school teacher. She has but one worry and that is ever present with her. It is the subject of school — a Training School, but not a Training School for one. Page T ' luenty-seven ROSA BELLE CARTER Red Hill, Virginia Albemarle Club; Jefferson Society; Le Cercle FranCais; Athletic Association; Y. W. C. A. Rosa Belle has many sides to her personality. On the halls she looks very quiet and digni- fied, in class is one of thi--se who says what she thinks. Nothing ever worries her, for she always has plenty time . She loves the out- of-doors and especially admires the tall Birch tree. RUTH LEE CARTER Whaleyville, Virginia Rural Life Club. As merry as ilic Jay is donii. Here is our Ruth, happy-go-lucky. Don ' t bother her with books, much study is a weari- ness of the flesh . Her store of wit and merri- ment is endless, so seek her when you want a good laugh. LCCn.E CARVER Miller School, Virginia Albermarle Club; Room Committee Y. W. C. A.; Recording Secretary Jefferson Societ) ' , ' 17. To think is goo J. To think and refliit is better To think, reflect, and act is est. That ' s Lucile, when once given something to do, she thinks, reflects, and does it. In looks she is staid and demure, but then thev say looks are deceiving. Page T ' L!;enly-cii it REGIS CASSIDY Lynchburg, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Xonpariel Tennis Club; Lynchburg Club. She ' s pretty to =ii:alk n.i-ith. And lAtty to talk iL-itli, And pleasant too, to think on. Behold! The class loafer, vho always comes out on the top at the end. As a time-keeper she ' s a regular grandfather ' s clock — always fiyc minutes late. But what does she care, for she gets all the joy out of life for herself and instills the same feeling in her gloomy (?) companions. LILLY CHAMBLIN Hamilton, Virginia Buffalo Camp Fire; Y. W C. A.; Ellen Rich- ards Club; O. F. C. (?). Piggy has a sunny disposition as you may see by her usual smile. She has a wonderful domestic ability which is an accomplishment. If you taste some of her cooking you will know that success for her is certain. IS. BELL CHANDLER Franklin, ' irginia Alpha Sigma Alpha; Mu Omega; Benedic- tine; D. I. R. K. ; S. A. B.; Cunningham Liter- ary Society; Nonpariel Tennis Club; J. A. Club; Glee Club; Town Girls Deyotional Committee; Y. W. C. A.; Mandolin and Guitar Club; Cotillion Club. Speak no slander nor listen to it, seems always to be her motto. Izzie has endeared herself to us, by her modesty and unfailing good-nature. And yet her normal dignin- often succumbs and she is the lovable optimistic girl bubbling over with the joy of living. Page Tiventy-nine VIRGINIA DARE CLARK Belroi, Virginia Corresponding Secretary Pierian Literary Society, ' 17; Poster Committee V. W. C. A.; Ad-Ki-Va Camp Fire; B. H. E. D.; Athletic Association. When Virginia ' s name is mentioned we at once think of pretty brown eyes and curly hair. Judging from the Busy Sign always on her door, we imagine she ' s very fond of eating or studying. ERMA CLAUD Drewryville, Virginia Ruffner Socier - ; Y. V. C. A.; Southampton Cluh. Erma is a quiet, hazel-eyed little girl who is always ready to study so we needn ' t wonder why she always pulls so many A ' s . Vet when the time comes she is as jolly and can get as much out of life as the next one. VERNAH BELLE COLLIE Harmony Village, Virginia Ruffner Society; Gloucester and Middlesex Club; Finance Committee V. V. C. A. Vernah is a quiet, studioiis little girl. Her favorite study is Latin and whenever you see ' ernah there are usually a number of Latin books also. Page Thirty RUTH COLEMAN Norfolk, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Ruffner Society; Le Cercle FranCais; Missionarv Committee Y. W. C. A. Ruth is a tiny little girl with big brown eyes and a good disposition. She is very hrm in her opinion but that does not detract from her attractiveness. VIOLA COLONNA Hampton, Virginia Chairman Membership Committee Y. W. C. A.; Sec. and Treas. Hampton Club; Senior Basketball ; Athletic Association. Viola is a little brown-eyed girl w-ho will rock her way on into future fame. She is a very sweet affectionate girl who is always satis- fied with having done her dead level best — even in love affairs, especially since she doesn ' t believe in love at first sight. EVELYN GABBERT COMAN Glasgow Virginia Y. W. C. A.; Ellen Richards Chib; South West Virginia Club; Jefferson Society. Silence is golden , seems to be Evelyn ' s maxim and she rarely violates it except in be- half of an aggrieved person. After hearing one of her little sermons you will never again speak ill of your neighbor. Page Thirty-one ELIZABETH LEE COOKE Yorkto ' irginia RufFner Society; Ellen Richards Club; Rural Life Club; Y. V. C. A,; Normal League; Ath- letic Association. Perseverance zviru the highest goal. Slow and timid is this b ' ttle maid, but ever earnest and diligent Cookie never leaves a point, be it ever so small, until It is hers. Never too busy for a friendly word or an in- teresting chat, she is sure to win a circle of friends even tho she may be a long time at it, as she is at every thing else. LELL MARIE COX Magnet, ' irginia Gladly z-.oiilJ she learn and gladly teach. This seems to apply very nicely to Lell for she is always working for the Training School. She carries around with her the warm- est heart and the biggest hunch of willingness to help others you could ever imagine. And sh 1 she doesn ' t waste all that heart on mere S. N. S. girls for slie is t|uite willing to cheer others with manv long Sunday afternoon let- ters. EDNA CROWDER Dinwiddle, Virginia Seargant-at-arms Ruffner Societv; Sec. Sussex Club, ' le- ' H; Rural Life Club; Finance Com- mittee Y. W. C. A., U- ' IS. Independent and jolly but dignified; always in for a good time. Then dignified (?). Well I should say, for when she rings the hell in the Training School you would think that she was the principal; but on the whole Edna is a good old girl and we all like her. Page Thirty-tuo HULDAH STAPLES DANIEL Roanoke, Virginia Alpha Sigma Alpha; D. I. R. K. ; Vice-Pres. Argus Literary Society; Cotillion Club; Non- pareil Tennis Club; Social Service Committee; Y. V. C. A.; J. A. Club. Huldah is one of our bluffers, but she is also talented in art and good looks. Surely these will get her through life successfully. JOSEPHLN ' E WILLIAMS DANIEL Chapel Hill, North Carolina Sigma Sigma Sigma; Mu Omega; Delta; Sec. Mandolin Club; Dramatic Club; Censor Cunningham Literary Society; Vice-Pres. Cot- tillion Club, ' 16; Leader, ' 17; Treas. Fourth Year Class; Sec. Junior Class; Social Service Committee Y. W. C. A. yp ' hat is your sex ' s earliest, latest caref Your heart ' s supreme ambition? To he fair. Josephine Williams Daniel, better known at S. N. S. as Jo is a Tar Heel and is proud of it. She is well known here and has been voted one of the prettiest girls in our Senior Class. We predict she will make a very successful house-keeper because she is very fond of Holmes . CORDELIA S. DIGGS Hampton, Virginia Critic, Ruffner Society, ' 16; Vice-Pres. Ruffner Literary Society, ' 17; Pres. Hampton Club, ' 17; Membership Committee of Town Girls ' Y. W. C. A.; Athletic Association. Steadfast and true. Yes, that ' s Cordelia coming. I know it by her laugh. That ' s what they all say. Never- theless, when she gets there somehow we all feel satisfied for we know we have a strong and steady soul to back us in our troubles, for she just gets to work and Diggs them out for us. Paffe Thirty-three ESTHER CHISM DYER Danville, Virginia Glee Club; Athletic Association; Jefferson Society ; Morning Watch Committee Y. W. C. A. Esther is truly one who is what she is from nature, and never reminds us of others. We love her dancing brown eyes behind her big specs , her ever-ready smile and her quaint little ways, but most of all just herself. MARGUERITE EAKIN Roanoke, Virginia Glee Club; Music Committee Y. W. C. A.; Bible Committee Y. W. C. A.; Athletic Asso- ciation; Roanoke Club; Jefferson Society. To see Marguerite one would think her rather shy, but to know her, she is an all-round friend. She says she is interested in her work but her many letters from Roanoke seem more inter- esting. We can say for her that she has a heart of gold ! ETHEL EARLY ' Deep Creek, Virginia Ruffner Society ; Association Xews Committee Y ' . W. C. A.; Athletic Association; Norfolk County Club; W. W. C. Her iL-ays are icays of pleasantness And all her paths are peace. Quick-witted, ready to understand; thought- ful; full of sympathy, love, and life; — this is Ethel. Algebra is her hobby, but she comes out of all her classes with flying colors. Anoth- er charactertistic of hers is blushing, especial- ly when the United States Fleet is mentioned. By the way, she ' s one of the twins; of course vou know who the other is. Page Tliirty-jour ARAH GAY EASTERDAY Farmville, Virginia Y. W. C. A.; Jefferson Society; Int. Kinder- garten Union. Have you ever seen those girls who move along so easy and never worry, but somehow seem to get there just the same? Arah is one of that happy number. She has never been known to worry, not even the Training School phazed her — and she managed to come out on top every time. BESSIE TALMAGE EBERVVINE Churchland, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Jr. Basketball Team; Senior Basketball Team; Ad-Ki-Ya Camp Fire; B. H. E. M.; Association News Committee Y. V. C. A., ' 16; Athletic Associa- tion. Is this the girl who plays such basketball and who jumps such hurdles? Yes, this is our Athletic Bessie . But she is our attractive, jolly Bessie too. Always she is laughing and I am sure she ' ll alwavs laugh her wav through life. INDIA EDMUNDS Farm -ille, Virginia Faithful to the etui. Skinny is another one of those town girls. She has a sunny disposition and big heart which are entirely out of proportion to her small stature. Regardless of the fact that she is small; she can certainly make those young ' unr. in the Kindergarten step around. We predict for her a very successful teaching career. I ' dtje Thirty-five NORA CHAMBLISS EDMONDS Champ, Virginia Athenian Literary Societv : I. K. U.; Athletic Association; R. E. ' A. N. S. ; Y. W. C. A.; L. C. D. Here is the personification of popularity at Hampden Sidney. We would all like to take lessons from Nora in fetching in the hand- some heroes. She has even won the hearts of all the little kindergarten babies. But old girl you are worthy of them all, and we do not hold it agin ' ' vou. KATHERINE BLACK ELLIS Ashland, Virginia Sigma Sigma Sigma; D. L R. K. ; Glee Club; Benedictine; Cotillion Club; Blue Ridge Club; Love Set Tennis Club; Senior Commit- tee of Student Government; Literary Editor The FOCUS; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ' ly- ' lS; Chair- man Social Committee Y. W. C. A., ' 17- ' 18; Critic Cunningham Literary Society; Jr. Basket- ball Team. Katherine ' s abilities are so numerous that it is hard to settle on any one. She is a dandy worker, and despite the fact that she has a saintly little face she is always ready for some kind of mischief. Can she sing? Well, I should say so. To make a long story short Katherine is one of the stars of the Senior class and we are certain that she will con- tinue to shine even after she leaves the Normal.

If you are in trouble — here is the girl to go to. She will do anything for you, from school work to sweeping the floor. I wish you could see her write — her ' s is a model hand-writing. With a poem by her side and a cat in her arms, she can come near singing do-re-mi. Page Tliirly-six ANNIE EMORY Chase City, Virginia Mecklinburg Club; Y. W. C. A.; W. A. N. K. Out of her eyes sliine the I ' ujht of iniselfish- tiess. Most girls think this quiet and sincere maiden is very dignified but it takes her close friends to say otherwise. Annie has a kind heart and has been successful in winning many friends here. We are sure that in her future work out in the state she will be equally as success- ful in winning friends and will he character- ized by the same sweet seriousness of purpose that has made us love her here. LOIS EUTSLER University, Virginia Assistant Literary Editor FOCUS; Reporter Argus Literarv Societv, ' 17; Reporter Alber- marle Club, ' l 6- ' 17. Lois is one of those little girls with curls. She has never been seen with a frown on her face and has never been heard to say a word against any one. Her cheerful and pleasant manner has won for her a host of friends, for she is the kind of girl that makes friends wherever she goes. ALICE ELIZABETH EVERETT Newsome, Virginia I. K. U.; Ruifner Society; Y. V. C. A. Social S ervice Committee; Vice-Pres. South- ampton Club; Ad-Ki-Ya Camp Fire; Ellen Richards Club. Miss Alice is one of the most happy-go- lucky girls in our class, never worrying over anything. She just packs all troubles in her Jack Book and smiles. Her favorite sub- ject is geography since she is very interested in the Worrell . Page Thirty-seven LAURA SUSAN LA VINA EWELL Ruckerville, Virginia Treas. Le Cercle Francais, ' 14; Treas.

Have you ever seen Susan when she wasn ' t busy? She is another of our willing workers and the Normal will miss Susan ' s ever-ready hand, and heart for any thing. She just has a way of managing things; as tho she has al- wavs done so. MELVILLE MARIE FAGG Cambria, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Reporter, ' 17; Y. W. C. A. President, ' 17- ' 18; Ellen Richards Club; Southwest Virginia Club; Pres., ' 17; Rural Life Club; Blue Ridge Club; Senior Committee Student Government; Athletic Asso- ciation. Melville is a typical Pollyanna . She has that rare gift — one which we all envy the genius to be loved. She may teach but we do not prophecy that her knack and talents lie in that direction. We think she would like to be Friday, alone on an island with Robin- son (Crusoe). He would never wish for the rescuing ship to come, for she would keep him merr ' with her inexhaustible supply of KATHERINE FIELD Norfolk, Virginia Dramatic Club; B. E. A. N.

Norfolk County Club; RufFner Society; Eight Week ' s Club. If you want a true friend you can depend on Mary. She is generous, good-natured and ever-ready to lend a helping hand. I wonder who can tell me why she gets so excited over mail, and especially a letter with a flag on it. BETTIE GATES. Rice, Virginia Ellen Richards Club; Jefferson Society; Y. W. C. A.; Rural Life Club. Bettie has a sunny disposition and is glad to help anyone she can. She is obedient to the Home Department and her room is always dark at 9:45. VIRGINIA GATES Rice, Virginia Ellen Richards Club; Jeiferson Society; Y. W. C. A. Virginia is one of us who goes home so often. This perhaps helps her to be the quiet, sweet girl she is. At teaching she is a good success — just as in other things. Page Thirty-nine ANNE CARY GEDDY Toano, Virginia Gamma Theta ; W. A. N. K. ; Cunningham Literary Society; Pres.

JOSEPHINE HANNAH Fincastle, Virginia Southwest Virginia Club; Glee Club; Jeffer- son Society; Deutscher Sprachverein, ' 16; Pub- lication Committee of Y. W. C. A. Here comes Josephine, but you would never guess she is coming from the Training School, for there is a bright smile on her face! Do you know we are inclined to believe that smile is permanent, for it is always there. No teach- ing trials and problems can chase it away.

How it saved the day then, and how, knowing the greatness and depth of soul that lay back of that look, we shall ever think of her as a source of insjiiration to us. RUTH HARRIS Pamplin, Virginia Argus Literary Society; Glee Club; Mem- bership Committee of Y. W. C. A., ' 16- ' 17. Ruth is so quiet and reserved that you never would know she was in our midst, but neverthe- less, she is never caught dreaming when called upon to give her opinion.

We ' ll miss her after January, but unless the war ends soon she ' ll make a mighty fine teacher, especially since personality counts. SOPHIE HARRIS Nipper, Virginia Y. W. C. . ' .

She really thinks she is going to teach, but her friends who know predict an entire- ly different future for her. IDA HARVEY Drakes Branch, Virginia International Kindergarten Union. At Dresent Ida ' s chief aim in life is teaching the oung idea , but how long she will stick to her profession remains to be seen.

I know it ' s Pat, for there is nobody else that can give that hearty laugh. Pat is always ready for a good time, still she can be very serious when she wants to. What does she like to do? Eat, observe in the country, and sing. BIRDIE E. HOLLOWELL Deep Creek, Virginia Glee Club; RufFner Society; Membership Committee of Y. W. C.

Sh! Don ' t dare tell her I told vou. FLORENCE HUNT Farmville, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Glee Club; Y. V. C. A. Town Girls ' Social Committee. Florence may be an old maid school teacher, but we have our serious doubts. She spends most of her time in trying to decide between Lynchburg and Hampden Sidney, but if she should be unable to decide we ' re sure she ' ll make a success as a teacher.

Appomatex Camp Fire. When you look at Nolia ' s picture you would think she is the most dignified one in the Senior Class, but you just wait until you know her a little better. You will not find her a regular old maid school mum , but a win- some lassie with mischeivous eyes. She is ready for any fun that might come up, and I assure you no one will ever have a dull time while with Nolia. IRMA INGLIS JAMES Petersburg, Virginia Argus Literary Society; Glee Club; Y. W. C.

BERTHA LAXGLIEB Richmond, Virginia Glee Club; Ruffner Society; Sec. German Club, ' 16- ' 17. Here we find a girl who can always accom- plish whatever she sets out to do. In the Training School she has shown her splendid ability and self-confidence both of which make her a fine teacher. As for her violin, we are sure she will some day surpass the most famous violinist. Page Forty-nine MARY BOLLING GANTT LEWIS Howardsville, Virginia Glee Club; Jefferson Society; Champion Tennis Club; Treas. Albermarle Club, ' 16- ' 17; Prcs. Albermarle Club, ' 17; Buffalo Camp Fire.

Argus Literary Society, ' 17; Pres. Halifax Club, ' 16- ' 17; Social Service Committee Y. W. C. A. A friend in need is a fried indeed. This is none other than Libby — our good old classmate and loyal friend. She always happens along at the right time and never fails to know every lesson assignment. Intellectual! Well, that expresses it mildly — why she is a perfect shark along all lines. She can even tell you where Mrs. Hardy was this time yes- terday. The only thing we ask of her is to tack on her personality a big, hearty laugh. Page Fifty-three NETA WILLIE MARSHALL Appomatox, Virginia Glee Club: Cunningham Literary Society; Pres.

Although she is a Marshal (1) we think she ' ll soon be a Lieutenant. The question is — which will play the most important role in her life — being an assistant to a Ph.D. or a Red Cross Nurse? GRACE ESTHER MEARS Norfolk, Virginia Would you ever believe Grace is a teaching Senior? Never! When you catch sight of her smiling face, you think she is surely in the Training Schiol. For Grace is always smiling! The many trials and tribulations attached to being a Senior seem never to have found her. She has a smile for everybody especially — well, I wonder who Edward is? MINNIE ALEXANDER MILLER Pulaski, Virginia Publication Committee Y. W. C. A.; Jeffer- son Society; Reporter Cunningham Literary Society; Southwest Virginia Club; Athletic Association; W. W. C. This is a dear little maiden with eyes of grey, which though not piercing simply make you come her way. She has a heart as big as the sea, and she ' s sweet and kind as she can be. Remember! sincere friends are very few. If Minnie is your friend, you have one that ' s true. Page Fifty-four MIRIAM MONTAGUE Coleraine, North Carolina To see Min you would think she is quiet, bu t talking is her specialty. If you don ' t be- lieve this just begin a discussion and she will have the last word.

If you want a girl to depend on send for her She ' ll come gladly and never grumble. We all like Kathleen. AGNES E. MURPHY Lynchburg, Virginia Lynchburg Club; Champion Tennis Club; Treas.

Even though she goes with Mildred all the time, everyone else likes her, and we believe she likes everyone, too. She is a good friend of the FOCUS staff, and her airy, dainty ways have made her very popular. CLARA EATON NEBLETT Baskerville, Virginia Dramatic Club; Spree Club; F. A.

If you should ever happen to see Mary you will know why she came to S. N. S. — teachers generally have the floor when it comes to talk- ing. Thus it is that Mary has chosen teaching as her vocation in order to have the floor until she talks out and then maybe she might con- sent to listen to one for a short while at least.

No, we can ' t say all the time, for she is ever-ready with her sober thinking to give an opinion worthwhile.

To get one squint at Jerome anyone would wonder if she wasn ' t working a little too hard but that ' s no reason why she isn ' t fat, because who could get fat when they had to go thru the routine of every day under the everlasting grind of a Peck Peck ? Nevertheless it isn ' t because she hasn ' t tried to increas e her weight for if you don ' t believe it ask her about the night the potted ham proved itself other than what it should have been.

Virginia HJarrlj atl|, lUlB FilR S( ?NF Page Se-venty-fi-ve TKe Ways— WKicK? e ' EADUATION DAY was alive with excitement of fluttering ribbons and filmy frocks and the pleasant scent of roses. How joyous were the girls who were standing on the threshold of young womanhood, so eager, so innocent of all that was before them. But there was one girl who had wandered from the campus down to her favorite spot by the tiny stream. Today held no joy or excitement for her, it seemed as though the cord of life had been snapped within her, leaving a being entirely void of passions, feelings, and expressions. And yet she was not un- ha]3py — not that. She knew she had finished her work with the highest honors. Her school life had been successful too. There had been no activities in school in which she did not have a part. There were the class honors all through her college life, many of which she had attained. Friends she had in all sets of girls. In fact she had gone into school life and tasted deeply of its glories, and of its sorrow too. There were days when things went wrong but the next W(juld dawn all the brighter and fuller with new prizes before the eyes of this daughter of fame, who on seeing the golden apples loved so dearly to chase after them. Page Seventy-six She had finished. School life was through ; she had gotten all that it held for her out of it and, now — ! That was the one thing; now — what next. The thought of it haunted her. Jn the days that had passed, it had haunted her somewhat, but the bright new prizes of the day had taken away the sting of it. Xow that the end had come, it hurt the worst — the way had to be chosen. She was not merely waiting at tlie crossways of life as most girls are — waiting for fate to decide the road they shall take. It was different in her case. Fate decided for her, nothing; she decided for herself. But now, could she, it was so hard, so hard to know the right. The birds in the trees above her head fought and twittered over a helpless firefly. The little brook did its best to make some impression on the girl liy its brink with silvery laughter, but she only stared into the far, far distant. The distant so far ahead, so immeasurable, stretching over across the years of future life ahead of her. She clasped the hands which hung helpless in front of her and tiny purple drops of blood oozed from the lips clinched between her teeth. Her breath came in hot gasps. So + ' ought, fought against her heart ' s desire, her cherished dream, fought as never before, as she who attained so many heights against obstacles, had thought she would never have to tight. Now they seemed so little, so faded, so simple, so easy, compared with this. The moments of the evening passed into the hours of twilight until the soft and ever gentle darkness spread over the earth. She felt better when the veil of night hid the laughing world from her; they did not know; they did not have to fight as she was doing. She liked the knowl- edge of being alone, — but. Behind, the door was closed, she saw before her the two only ways ; one it must be. One stretched before her eyes, paved with books and bound by walls of uni- versities hung with famous men ' s faces. Farther on, the way was wider and more bright. She could see the tiny hands of children reaching upward, the tear dimmed faces of women aiul men with the luunble look of some downtrod- den thing, all turning, pleading to the seat on which she sat in cap and gown, as Portia, remembering that quality of mercy is not strained, striving to administer justice. Above her head in great, golden, glittering letters which almost blinded her was that word, which blinds so many, F. A. M. E. She closes her eyes from the light. Again she sees the other — a moss-grown walk, the spacious old home, the room so cold, so lonely, so cheerless, so needful of a woman ' s hand. The portraits of her ancestors were there with their great- hawk-like eyes; the big leather chairs loomed u]i in the firelight like huge animals. Page Sr ienty-sei ' en Tliere in the corner where her mother liad loved to sit was lier dear father. His form was still big and noble-looking, but his face, so gentle and patient, bore in it lines of loneliness and anxious waiting. In his liands, those hands which had cured so many aches and stilled so many pains, he held a frame which contained two pictures of his only loved ones, her mother who waited for them above and herself, for whom she knew he lived. The dog wliich lay before the fire rose and came to his master ' s knee as if to sympathize. In the air above their heads she saw in silver letters D. U. T. Y. They stared and gleamed before her eyes like stars. (Jod ! she murmured softly, 1 might have known. ' Fumbling in her pocket she took out a roll of white paper, the only key which opened the road of fame to her (her scholarship). Twisting it in the sha])e of a boat, as she had done sd often in her childhooil. she dro])))ed it in the waters of the little brook and watched it sail down in the moonlight, totter and whirl in the swift current, and caught by the waves of a waterfall, circle upward a moment and ]iass out of her siglit, forever.

Paffe Seventy-nine History of me Class ' 17- ' 18 XT was in September nineteen sixteen that it came to pass that throughout the length and breadth of Virginia and even in far distant states, we, the Seniors of the class nineteen eighteen did pack our trunks, boxes, bags, and other things that are dear to our hearts, bid farewell to the loved ones and journey far into the recesses of the mountains of Virginia to the unknown town of Farmville. We will never forget the curious glances that were cast at us as we were deposited on the station platform bv the different trains. These glances, to say the least, were of the piercing sort, but what difference did that make to us — we rather liked to be gazed upon — it made us feel our importance. We knew that our arrival was looked upon by the old girls as a sort of gala event — one which does not take place every day. Unlike most girls we were not in the least frightened as we walked thru the streets to the Normal, not know- ing what to expect to see when we got here. Everybody seemed to follow the person in front and many a whisper floated to our ears. These remarks were amusing and they made us more determined than ever to show that we were not green . However a sad calamity took place in room J which lowered our hopes, when a new and supposedly green girl was heard to ask an old girl in what country her home town could be found. Then after going through the red tape of registering and matriculating we were led to our rooms in the various parts of the building by those of a darker hue , who became our friends at the very beginning. There we were in those bare rooms all alone. Not a familiar thing did we see — nothing to remind us of home except doors, s ' eps, and windows which were plentiful enough. Having nothing better to do we proceeded to read the Edict of the Home Department in the form of Dormitory Rules and Regulations which were nailed to our doors. There were enough rules and regulations to choke an ordinary person and no person unless afflicted with unusual abilin- could possibly have learned them inside of six months. But strange to say bv the end of our first week we knew that no tacks were allowed to go into the spotless Page Eighty walls, that no chafing dishes were allowed and that we were supposed to meditate for two hours on Sunday. Pretty soon our ear drums were almost rent asunder by a most awful noise which proved to be only the ringing of the dinner hell. Some of the girls were strolling on the campus looking and being looked upon, while others were in the dining rooms chatting with them- selves or with some stray person who in looking for her room had dropped in hoping to gain information as to her whereabouts. Some too, as was to he expected, were weeping copiously on the fresh bed linen which did have a homelike appearance. The sound of eats soon caused a movement toward the big dining room which seemed to us large enough to seat several thousand. Once on the inside things were gay enough and only by the tapping of the little bell on the Home Department table were we quieted long enough to say the mid-day blessing. We were told that there was a different blessing for each of the three meals — which statement proved correct. At this meal we were introduced to pink mule , prunes and many of the other delicacies that have been the joy of our existence here. Another source of joy was the distribution of mail, which took place after each meal. For the first week the old and new, sophisticated and unsophisticated alike assembled in the spacious auditorium to get a letter from home or else where. It was like running the gaunt- let to parade from the back to the front with all eyes focused upon you, to get a letter and sometimes a mere card. However these things come and go in a life time. Too soon to suit us, classes were begun and in a short time things in general were moving along smoothly. Xote days were the bane of our existence and were looked forward to with much quaking and fear, and even now a peculiar feeling runs over us whenever the word is mentioned. But none of us ha ' e ac(]uired an ' gray hairs over these notes, because in all classes we have starred, and 1 have even heard that we have reached a lofty height in the estimation of our faculty. Speaking of the faculty reminds us that in passing we should pay a tribute to that august body. Never in the history of any school or class has there been such an impression made by the faculty upon the students. In our different walks of life we will never forget them and manv times will we wish for some information from one of the satelites. Not onlv did the faculty make an impression on our class but we made one on them. It was under our guidance that the Honor System was inaugurated and developed, representing the principles of truth and honor. The budding of trees and the singing of birds gave evidence of spring which made us feel that after all life was worth while. We counted the days until commencement when we might go home and see those whom we had not seen for a long time. But each fleeting day we realized brought us nearer the time when we must part from our good old friends who had protected and shielded us from harm when first we came. Never again would things be just the same and tears dimmed our eyes when we though how lonesome and noiseless would be the corridors when our Seniors would depart from the school. But tears were not in our line for any length of time and when June arrived we were the same joyous and en- ergetic Juniors. In fact, everybody was happy, for commencement was over and the day of all days had arrived, — we were going home for a three months ' rest cure. The next September we came back, our class reduced by several members, which seemed to unite us more closely than ever. Now that we were at last Seniors it was our time to stare and whisper, and it was a right jolly thing to do too, since the newcomers were of the greenish type which new stamped all over them. However, after some little time we be- gan to take notice of them and even went so far as to pick some for our Junior girls. Being staid and dignified Seniors we realized our position and raised our former stand- ards accordingly. Since we began at the bottom we were determined to reach the top most level which could only be attained by perseverance and diligent work. Each day brings us closer to this Ie ' el and with the close of each dav we realize that our standards are rais- ing those of others and that our influence upon them will not be as a passing wind. Frankly speaking our Senior year has been a most worthy one. Our class has taken a great interest and an active part in all athletics sports, Literary Societies, the Y. W. C. A., and in fact everytime anything of interest is mentioned our class goes in with a determination to win. The time of our graduation is rapidly approaching and though we depart from our dear old Alma Mater which we love so dearly we will ever more remember the gav and massive walls of this grand old school. What we have given does not compensate for the halm of life which we have imbibed, but the deficit in the scales is balanced by love and loyalty. Katherine Mildred Anderson. Page Eighty-one Poem of Class 1918 Lo! harken! it closes, the door of our childhood. Shutting the idols of fancy within, Closing the door of our mirth-laden past. No more our feet of childhood shall wade in its glories. Joys now far gone and hazy remembrance Crowd to hid fond farewell to our hearts. But thoughts, of the present, thoughts of the future fast fill their place. And lo! as a veil away from their shoulders, Floats in the breeze and suddenly is gone Passes the dream of glittering childhood Never — never again to return. As a wrestler bends his great and mighty arms Before his match, So stand we to meet the fast oncoming foe. The breast upheaves, the heart beats fast. The crimson life blood surges through our frames Not one flinch to bid the present welcome. But on the brow a great content. Oh, time of times on which we luiilded temples, golden, cryslal, silver. We see thee not, But courage take from all the failures of the past. Thy falls dare not to despise And with the present in our clutches The depth of any abyss measure. Know with power all things are conquered. Know it, have it close within thee Feed and nourish faith and courage. Strength it takes to attain the heights, Know this well and thou shalt conquer. What? Goest thou so soon, when happiness seems supreme. Canst not thou linger longer, oh Today? Oh Present, so filled with joys, how can we let you go! Awake! awake! — oh listen, Hearest not thou the call? Thrus; aside no tear for it, Noble Minds. But awake to hear it, Future calls and we must listen. Tho ' we sorrow at the parting Let not our hearts be heavy now. Pray to Him who giveth wisdom To be worthy of each other ' s love. As no two may go together All must part, but not forget, Calm thy spirit for the answer. Future calls, canst not thou hear? Future calls, and thou must answer: — Daughters of Fate, and Classmates, In thee our hopes are met. In thy hand thou boldest the key. Future ' s answer must be self. Go in good will, unlock the gates and enter in. Carrying with thee these sweet memories to cheer where thou goest. Clara Eaton Neblett. Page Eighty-two PROPKCV GAN you fancy yourself projected five years into the futvire? Dd not be alarmed. This does not mean that you shall be five years oldiT. aii-1 the process I hope will be painless. With this reassurance we now find ourselves — that is, if Vdii are will- ing in the year of nineteen hundred and twentv- -three in the cozy living room of a teacherage. Yes the teacher ' s dream has at last materialized and teacherages are quite the thing now. The room has tasteful furnishings of course, for the in- mates are — but you shall see for yourself. Have more tea. Liz? a tall dark girl by the tea table is asking as an empty cup is held toward her. Sorry there ' s no more lemon. Just half a cup, answers a ]ietitc l)li nde, I don ' t want to have nerves you know. You start — the voices are familiar. Can it be? Why the girl pouring tea is Annette Alexander and the diminutive blonde is Elizabeth Baird I You recog- nize them as the blaze on the hearth flares up. The girl by the mantel is speaking now, I don ' t agree with you. lAz. You need nerves in the singular number and spelled with a capital to teach. A sig- nificant gleam shoots out from her left hand as she sets her cup down and faces the little group. Oh. of course, Anne Carey, we know you and Liz Baird are going in for double harness in June, bitt you know there are some of us who still love the old profes- sion. Eemember we ' re to be bride ' s maids. Speaking of teaching I feel like we ' re the last in the cause. You turn to see two girls on the window seat, bending over a leather bound volume and as they raise their heads you recognize Babbie Wainwright and Elizabeth Lewis. That voice is unmistakable — it is Babbie ' s beyond a shadow of a doubt. I wish you ' d just take a squint at this annual. We ' ve been looking at the senior pictures in the Virginian and it ' s positively sad I tell you. Xow here ' s Mary Addington for instance. Someone was telling me of hearing her talk on suffrage in some huge auditorium. A man in the crowd to annoy her called out, Don ' t you wish you were a man? ' The ever-ready Mary shot back ' Don ' t you wish you were? ' Kath- erine Anderson and Sue Bryant spoke on the same evening. ' ' Katherine Anderson was the girl who used to make thimrs s:o livelv in senior meetings, wasn ' t she? We town girls didn ' t know the students as well as the dormitory girls. Yes, that was Katherine and she doesn ' t look a day older than she did when she walked out with her diploma five years ago. The other three amble over and pile on the window seat threatenimT it very foundations and looking over the shoulders of Babbie and Elizabeth. You might Page Eighty-three almost imagine this an old S. N. S. rendezvous but for a few conflicting details, the chafing dish for example. They are rather a young loiiking group for super- visors in a Xormal college. I haven ' t looked at this old book for an age. Let ' s start at the front and tell what has become of each girl as we get to her picture. You listen intently as the pages are turned. The girls are all talking at once now and except for an occasional characteristic renuirk you cannot distinguish the speakers. Helen Arthur — Oh she ' s married — let me tell about her please — married a naval officer. Surely are a bunch of them married in spite of the scarcity of men during the late war. Mary Booker — married too, a great social success, picture in Vogue and all that. Married one of our ambassadors. Besides these there are Virginia Clark, Ingar Scheie, Isabel Chandler. Huldah Daniel, Elvira Maclin, Flossie Nairne, Helen Harris, and Virginia llichardson. Virginia Clark and Inger Scheie mar- ried aviators — By the way one of them, one of the husbands I mean, has settled down to terra firma and gone to farming. Several of this crowd had a rather ronuuitic time of it. for instance Isal el Chandler. You hrard bci- story, didn ' t you. She took a Hideout and was nuir- ried. But 1 haven ' t finished telling about all the married ones. Virginia Kichard- son married a wealthy ranchman and is living out west — Helen Harris — I know the name of the man she married but just can ' t think of it. Any how he went to Hampden-Sidney. Flossie married an army officer and lives at Fort Sill. Huldah wasn ' t satisffied with any thing less than a senator. They are quite prominent in Washington circles and Elvira married a Washington and Lee professor. So much for the married ones. ' ' Virginia Bain — opera singer (?) I can hear her now. Oh you horried thing. Virginia couldn ' t sing but she could play basketball — coached the Vas- saire team last year. Nola Johnson ditto at Smythe. Here come the high fliers, Maggie Barker, Irma Claud — there were seven of them who joined the aviation corps. Who were the others Annette? Let me se — Marguerite Eakin, Sophie Harris, Bernice White, and Linda Walker, I think. Martha Bass — anyone know wliat she is doing? ' Yes 1 do, Jerome I ' cck told me she had to go to the Patent office some- time ago and that it looked like a regular Farmville reunion — Martha, Belle Gil- liam, Betty Gates, Lily Chamblin, and Esther Dyer each at the head of a force of employees. Jerome and Mary ?ioel have the most attractive little studio in Washington. Art critics commented favorablv on their pictures at the last Xew York Art Exhibit. Did Jerome say anything about Marjorie Goodwyn, Anne Carey? Nothing except what we already know. You saw the article in the ' Art World ' saying Miss Goodwyn ' s work is not only pleasing to look upon but it shows an exceptionally clever solving of artistic technical problems. Turn on, Elizabeth. Let ' s take a shot at the next one. Joe Barnes — Here ' s where we see a fortune made from cold cream formula — Jo Barnes and Arab Easterday of the firm of Barnes and Easterday. Next — Irving Blanton — ' You mean Irving Y. W. C. A. Blanton. Look at the list of Y. W. C. A. activities below her picture. She and Elizabeth Harris are Y. W. C. A. secre- taries. Page Eighty-four We ' re not throufrh with the B ' s yet — Elsie Brooks: Elsi e, Mable Wessell. Alice Everett, and Gladys Whaley — onr Red Cross nurses. They are doing institutional work now — superintendents of hospitals. Irene Buckman — laywer. Next. Here come the music supervisors. Hurray I a few left in the cause, Louise Bush, Rille Harris, and Agnes Murphy. There are others who haven ' t deserted yet. You rcmenilxT we saw in the paper several days ago that Pauline Camper, and Dare Taliaferro were Columbia delegates to an educational convention — and one more — Vernah Collie, gets her degree from Columbia this year. That ' s reassuring. Lucille Carver — She ' s one of the girls who served the country during the war as natty little street car conductors. Ruth Carter and Mattie McConkey chose this way also to do their liit. They are all nienil)ers of the traction company now. We turned out quite a crowd of business women, thanks to the war. Here are Edna Crowder, Charlotte Myrick. Margaret Walker, Miriam Montague, in real estate; then Euby Sibley and Rosa Puckett evolved from ambulance drivers on the front into joint ownership in an automoltile factory. Xora Edmunds — a Dinwiddle belle. Ivatherine Field — made famous by her essay — ' How to Clrow Tall. ' Ethel Gilderslet!i e — editing an educational journal. ' Azile Plancock — Her modiste shop is the most adorable place. The most ex- clusive Kew Yorkers deal there. She is rapidly getting wealthy. Florence Hunt ' — Did you see of that wonderful picture of her in PliotojiJan and right on the opposite page a picture of Irma James? Quite a theatrical crowd with Jessie Kellam in comedy and Evelyn Lloyd dancing at the Ziegtield Follies. Edna Kent — You read about her and ]x ' rtha Langlieb in tJie Scienfific American. Always making some contribution to science. Annie Belle Lockard — She laid the foundation for her greatness in Miss Muuoz ' s violin class. She ' s rivalling Maude Powell now. Liez Lea— makes her debut at the Metropolitan Opera House next season. Clara Neblett — class poet, is living up to her old ' rep ' . Writes exclusively for the Atlantic Monthly. Lela O ' Neal — our one M.D. Nothing like having distant relatives dying conveniently and leaving you a fortune — Lucky old Alma Robertson. Frances Robertson — She and Marie Price were yeomanettes, weren ' t they? They are teaching now at the old school. Here ' s another teacher, principal, in fact — Ethel Spencer. Frances Treakle is also principal of a high school. Ida Wessells — wrote the best seller last year — Aihlie Walker is achieving pop- ularity with her detective stories and Alice Putney is becoming an artist in short storv writing — three writers of note. And that ' s all. The book snaps to — the Italian clock chimes a quarter to six — then Annette breaks the silence, Gee, everything but a cop. ' CLASS PROPHET. Helen Brent. Page Eighty-five TKe Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 1918 of the State Xormal School, Farmville, Virginia, on this, the 4th day of June, being perfectly distracted over our present conditions, and wishing to dispose of the numberless privileges and pleasures enjoyed by us, as members of this institution do make, ordain, and declare this our Last Will and Testament. Item 1 ; To the Student Body, we leave our most loyal President from which we hate to part. We wi.sh also to leave the Htinor System , which has accom- plished numerous results since its introduction. Item 2: To all future Seniors, we lea e our jdaces of honor on the front seats in ( ' ha])el with hopes that they will maintain the same dignity and grace that we have. Item . ' i : To the Academit Seniors, we bequeath seven periods per week to become acquainted with Kd., both Principles and History. This amoitnt of time will be sufficient if they will promise to have their minds immune from other Eds. Item 4: To the Teaching Seniors of U)l!), we bequeath the few A ' s that we have so considerately left in the Supervisors ' keeping. Item 5 : To the Degree girls, we leave a pack of Old Maid Cards. May they make a successful play. Item 6: To the ni ' w giids we leave our pronqit obedience to all bells, especial- ly the breakfast bell, and also we woulil like to drop the hint to them that in cIcaniuL; their rooms it is unnecessary to move the radiators in order to sweep under them, because Mrs. Harris from her heights of sublimity cannot stoop to its dept hs althotigh we must confess that she is an ade]it in detecting souvenirs float- ing promiscuously on the floors. item 7: We leave the discussion of Woman Suffrage to be continued in the future civics classes of Mr. Lear. Item 8 : To the skaters of next year, we leave Mr. Lear and Mrs. Coyner. Here ' s hoping they will not be in desperate need of shoe shines after the fun. If Mr. Somers deems it wise and thinks it will not be detrimental to his dignity, he may be a participant also. Item 9 : To each member of the Faculty we leave a little notice to be an- nounced at the little Chapel exercises at 10 o ' clock each morning. Signed, scaled, | ul)lislied, and declared by the Senior Class of 1918 as our only and last Will and Testament in the presence of and witnessed by: VIRGINIA BAIN , President.

Page One hundred elghty-jour Song of Strife Tell me not in iiioiiriiful numbers S. N. S. is but ;i dream. For the girl is late that slumbers. And breakfast is not what it seems. School is real, schmil is earnest. And (iilliam ' s is not onr goal. Eat, we must, but to sciiool returnest — Ere our snpjier will be eobl. But to Sanford ' s and to Chappell ' s Are our footsteps bound to stray, So we hurry ere the bell rings — For we ' ve been late twice today. Study hour ' s long, but time is fleeting, And our eyes tbo Hlled with sleep, Still arc poring over lessons. Which, for us, arc far too deep. In the Normal ' s lield of battle. In the class room, however slow. Be not like dumb driven cattle — Or you ' ll flunk, where ' er you go! Lives of Seniors all remind us. We need not study all the time, And departing, leave behind us, E-Notes, stretched out in a line. E-Notes that perhaps another, Coming to this school next 3 ' ear — Although, at first, she may not bother, Later, shall be gripped with fear. Let us, then, get nji and hurry. Ere we nuist turu off the light, With our lessons still before us. Learn to study and recite. Ethel Early. Page One hundred eighty-fi ' ve EVERY STUDENT (A Parody) Prologue Messenger— 1 pray you all give audience And hear this matter with reverence, In form a moral play The summon of Everystudent called it is, And goes to show in its own way That in our lives at S. N. S. We all must bow to Friend Pop-Test. The story saith; Damsels, in the beginning Look well and take good heed to the daily recitation. Be ve never so gay. Ye think Bluff in the beginning full sweet Which in room E causeth the maid to weep . Now take this lesson to your heart. And from its moral ne ' er depart. (Enter Pop-Test) Pop-Test— Lo vonder I see Everystudent walking. She is munching an ice cream cone. Little does she think on my coming. Her mind is on movie stars and honeymoons, but shortly will the clouds these heavenly bodies obscure. (Enter Everystudent.) Everystudent, stand still. Where art thou so gaily bound? Hast thou forgotten thy ped- agogical career? Evervstudent — Why dost thou ask? p. T,— In great haste I am sent to summon thee to room E, to give on plan paper a reckoning of the daily work. Ev.— This blind matter troubleth my wit. Who art thou? P. T.— I am Pop-Test. Ev— Full unreadv am I such a reckoning to give. Thou comest when I have thee least in mind. Defer thismatter till another day and I will cram my poor head till it throbs. p. T.— No respite can I give thee save the vacant period before the roll is called. (Exit P. T.) Ev. — Alas! I well may weep with sighs deep. I have no manner of company To help in my extremity. And also I am unprepared To have my scanty knowledge aired. To whom shall I make my complaint? I have it! To my notebook I will fly, _ And with her contents stored up in my brain I will not fear the Monday after. Pa e One hundred eiyhly-six To my notebook will I take my sorrow. (Enter Notebook.) Well met, good Notebook, and good morrow. Notebook — Everystudent, good morrow, But why lookest thou so piteously? If anything be wrong tell it to me, That I may help to remedy. Ev. — Yes, good Notebook, yes. I am in great jeopardy. Pop-Test, the monster, summons me To take a quiz and get an E. Notebook — And how can I help, Everystudent? Ev. — Give me the notes that I have jotted down in class, Perhaps they ' ll aid me so that I shall pass. N. B. — The notes? Ah yes, her ' s one, alas! ' Tis written to thy neighbor in the class. And reads, Go with me to the movies, hon. The picture ' s a peach and we ' ll have such fun. Wallace Reid and — Ev. — Ye gods! turn on. Why, yes, there ' s more. N. B. — (Reading)— Push, pull, push, pull, rolling, rolling on the muscle. Ev. — Is there nothing more? N. B. — Nothing. (Exit Notebook.) Ev. — Well, there ' s my Text. I ' ll go to her And from her pages try to cram Some valued facts for my exam. (Enter Text.) This volume looks to me as if she ' s grown in size Since last I conned my lesson from her page. How long ago? Why it ' s an age. My Textbook, truly thou hast heard my wail. To help me now thou surely wilt not fail. Text — I know thee not. Thy face is strange, O maid. My intimates alone receive my aid. Ev. — Enough, I am thy owner, I demand That thou shalt lend me a helping hand. Text — Thy impudence indeed I now must stop. In fact I have in mind to call a cop. (Exit Text.) Ev. — What shall I do? The time draweth near While here I stand and quake with fear. ' To my own mind will I go. To my own thoughts will I appeal. Perchance within their depths may lie Som€ knowledge that will push me by. Voice in the Distance — Somewhere in France. Ev. — Alas! Where shall I put my trust. For find someone I surely must. Lo, yonder Cometh the well-known Grinds With studies only on their minds. (Enter Grinds.) With head thrust forward in their books And never a moment for frivolous looks. O Grinds, behold me standing thus in fear. Your counsel I implore in my dilemma. Ye know full well the load I lie beneath, But with your aid I ' ll pass by skin of teeth. Pn e Oni ' hundred eighty-seven 1st. Grind— Nay, Everystudent, I say no, Full often have I told thee so. The time thou ' st spent roaming halls, attending balls, receiving calls. Thou shouldst have spent within the confines of thine own four walls. Strolling streets for Sandford ' s sweets, Reading Vogue, and fashion sheets Is not the way to pull a B, But a beaten path to a miserable E. 2nd. Grind — My sister Grind, thy very words I had in mind, And to thy comment let me add: (To Ev.) — At borrowing clothes thou art adept, But let this in your mind be kept, Thou canst not knowledge borrow so. For those who knowledge will attain Must strive with patience for its gain. (Exit Grinds.) Ev. — If vou will not your musty knowledge lend There is a friend on whom I can depend. For come what may she always will be true And so, detested Grinds, I say Adieu! Oh, where art thou, my Case. (Enter Case), my crush? Case — Who calleth me? Everystudent, why dost thou haste? Ev. — I am summoned to room E. Therefore I pray thee go with me. Case — I follow no student on such voyages. Nav, I am too brittle — I may not endure; I will follow no student one foot to be sure, I shall now announce thou art not in the race, Indeed, by this evening I ' ll have a new case. Ev. — O, false Case, deceiver thou art, To coax from me my shekels and shatter m} ' heart. Case — Thou alone art to blame. Whereof I am glad — I needs must laugh. I cannot be sad. (Exit Case.) Ev. — That latest blow has made me ill. A bright idea! To the infirmary I will go, And feigning illness may escape The dangers of this Pop-Test scrape. (Enter Nurse.) (To Nurse) — I am not well, Dost thou not think I look like someone on the brink? Nurse — Stick out thy tongue. Thou art not ill. All thou needest Is this small pill. (Exit Nurse.) Ev. — Alas, then may I wail and weep, Common Sense, come hither and bear me company on my journey. (Enter Common Sense.) Surely thou wilt not fail me as have all others. Common Sense — Full many a day my present thou hast done without. And now should I your comrade be, ' Twould seem quite strange and out of place. But as a parting exhortation 1 commend to you Daily Recitation. (Exit Common Sense.) Ev. — O Daily Work! Come thou to me. For Common Sense commendeth thee. (Enter Bluff.) Bluff — Nay, lend me not thine ear to hear such stuff. Behold in me your old friend.
