MARY JEANNETTE BLAND West Point, Virginia Y, W. C. A.; Athletic Association; Rural Life Club; Hiking Club; Treasurer Glou- cester-Mathews Club. Who comes there? Why to be sure it is Nette. She is always known by her sunny face and cheerful disposition. She says she is preparing to be a teacher, but we think it will be a school of one pupil. She doesn ' t want any more than one for fear she will turn Gray ' too soon. A charac- teristic of Nette is: Never do to-day what you can put off until tomorrow. ' ' BEATRICE BLANKINSHIP Brookneal, Virginia Y. W. C. A.; Rural Club; Athletic Asso- ciation; Sub-Committee Rural Department Y. W. C. A. ' 19- ' 20. Fat people are good natured. ' That ' s Bee, quiet and composed, never raising her voice, except in song, and al- ways willing to help others if they will tell her where her lessons are each day. It yet remains to be seen whether Bee ' ' will remain a true Virginian or become a Tar Heel. DEWEY ELSIE BRADLEY Ringgold, Virginia Sub-Chairman Y. W. C. A. Rural Life De- partment ' 19- ' 20; Rural Club. She is always the same. Dewey is a girl who makes a hit every where she goes. She, imlike the rest of us, is very fond of the writings of Ben- nett, and often expresses her desire for new volumes through the daily mail. Page Tv:enty-tiuo

ALTA FOSTER BARNES Amelia, Virginia Pierian Literary Society; Glee Club Vice- President; Y. W. C. A.; Chairman Music Committee ' 19- ' 20; Secretary Student As- sociation ' 19- ' 20. A, is for Aha — a good pal of mine, L is for lovable — she is all the time, T is for teaching — one of her joys, A is for alphabet — she ' ll teach little boys. MARY HAMILL BELL Roanoke, Virginia Athletic Association; Glee Club; Music Committee Y. W. C. A.; Cunningham Liter- ary Society; Basket-ball Team ' 19- ' 20; Roa- noke County Club; Racqueteers ; Mando- lin and Guitar Club. She is a gift that is rare, Her wit is keen — beware. As smart as a tack and a good little bluff. CLAIR ELIZABETH BLAIR Chatham, Virginia Rural Club; Corresponding Secretary Jef- ferson Debating Society; Y. W . C. A.; Ath- letic Association; Chatham Club. Here ' s the girl you want. Clair is a true friend to all who know her. Doesn ' t her name rhyme nicely? But we fear it will not remain that way long since we ' ve seen some of her letters addressed Miss Bobby. ' Piiffe Tvjenty-one

BLANCHE EUGENIA BREWER Mathews, Virginia Argus Literary Society; Y. W. C. A.; Stu- dent Committee ' 19- ' 20; Mathews Gloucester Club; Racqueteers ; Athletic Association. Blanche says teaching is not her line. But I think one pupil would suit her fine. Because she ' s so neat. So daintv and sweet. IRENE BRIDGES Leesburg, Virginia Glee Club; Vice-President Athenian Liter- ary Society ' 19 Always happy because she ' s always singing. And unto our hearts much joy bringing, They love her at the Training School too. For without her would would the Sei ' enth Grade do? LOUISE NEMTTON BRIGHTWELL Prospect, Virginia Subject and Leader ' s Committee Y W. C. A. ' 19-20; Pi Alpha Club; Rural Club; Athletic Association. Perseverance and honesty are her keynotes. Louise is one of our neat, quiet, modest, refined seniors. In all her work she fol- lows strictly the high standards of fairness and honesty. She is our Latin shark and overcomes daily by her perseverance the almost insurmountable difficulties of the Training School. We predict great things for her in the future. Poffe Ticenty-three
