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

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

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
