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.; Dele- gate to Sweetbriar Y. W. C. A. Council, ' 17; Ad-ki-ha Camp Fire; Chairman Publicity Com- mittee, ' 16- ' 17; Convention Committee, ' 17- ' 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

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.

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.

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
