given, an assignment as staff nurse in the Ma¬ rine Hospital at Ellis Island, N. Y. In August, 193 3, I took a twelve and a half day cruise on the S. S. Franconia to Ha¬ vana, Cuba, and stopped over in Nassau and Bermuda. That trip was just the beginning of my travels. On the 22nd of December, 193 3, I was married at the Little Church Around the Corner” in New York City, and on January 3rd, 1934, sailed for Naples, Italy, on the S. S. Manhattan. We landed at Havre, France, January 10th, and rode three and a half hours by train to Paris, remaining there two days. We contin¬ ued by train to Rome and on to Naples, arriv¬ ing January 13th, 1934. In May of that year we went to Stuttgart, Germany, for a month by way of Milan, Italy, and spent a day travelling through the beau¬ tiful mountains of Switzerland. We left Naples May 10th, 1935, for War¬ saw, Poland, visiting Florence and Venice, Italy, and Vienna, Austria en route. The past ten months have been spent in Warsaw. May ten years hence find you all as happy as I am. Sincerely yours, Hallie Farrar Thweatt. been realized. And in its realization, I find myself completely happy in the associations, friendships, and various other attributes it has to offer. For this happiness, I find that I have only my early training at L. H. S. to thank. In a cross-section of life, we find that the various phases of education blend themselves harmoniously with life itself. Now 1 have graduated to that part of life which is the most important preparation for the future. During the four years which are required for its accomplishment, other people are aiding us, imbuing us with the knowledge that it has taken them their life-time to acquire. It was true in High School, even as it will be all through life. Consequently, we must, having profited by the progression of those before us, use the knowledge obtained from them to the best of our ability. In conclusion, I wish only that each one of you may leave L. H. S. knowing the good fortune that has been yours; and with the most sincere desire and ambition, go out into the world, recognize its faults and shortcom¬ ings—and with chin high and a broad smile, go out to conquer. And may my best wishes and all the luck in the world go with you. Sincerely, Shirley T. Sherman. Sargent College, February 15, 1936. To the Seniors of Lovingston High School: You should feel very proud of the fact that you are graduating from Lovingston High School—a secondary school which comprises an excellent part of that great and fine Nelson County. I realize now, even as you will, that the faculty of Lovingston High School tried to the best of their ability to give me a founda¬ tion that would enable me to get the very most from my college career. The knowledge of their endeavor was not noticed at the time, but as I have grown older, I have recognized the actual worth, use, and practicability that their striving has come to mean to me. The foundation that one receives in a High School such as L. H. S., supplies one of the basic fundamentals absolutely necessary to a college education. From my earliest childhood d ays, I have fondly cherished the dream of eventually attending Sargent College, a school of Physical education. Now this dream has Washington, D. C. February 27, 1936. Dear Mrs. Lea: Since my earliest rememberance, I have wanted to become a nurse. And now, that I have been privileged to enter one of the finest nursing schools in the United States, The Gallinger Municipal Hospital, Washington, D. C., I wonder if it would interest you if I should tell you just a little about by experi¬ ences here. I arrived at the Nurses’ Home on the eve¬ ning of September the third, and was cordially received by the superintendent of nurses her¬ self, and the House Mother. Since then I have met many of the doctors, supervisors, and in¬ structors who have been very helpful and un¬ derstanding. Classes did not begin for several days, so there was time to get acquainted with the girls who were to be my classmates. The new isolation building which is a part of the hospital, was dedicated the day the new

enioFS CHARLIE POWELL I have been given the privilege of writing a description of the Sheik” of the Senior Class, Charlie Powell. He has light brown hair and a school girl” complexion. Charlie is very fond of the girls and loves to tease them. I understand that he likes a certain blond young lady. He has a very good disposition. I think he is also the teacher’s pet. Mrs. Lea calls him her boy.” Juliet Redd. LOIS PUCKETT Lois Puckett has light hair, which she keeps curled, and blue eyes. She has a few freckles on her face.

LOUISE SIMPSON Louise Simpson has dark brown hair, dark eyes and a fair complex¬ ion. She is very attractive. She likes to go to Covesville, but it’s mostly to see Sidney, I think. I don’t know what is wrong with her mind that she should go in an A.B.C. store for a sandwich. But, after all, she is a very nice girl and can take a joke, so that’s why I told this on her. Mabel Stevens. MARY PROFFITT Mary Proffitt has blue eyes, dark brown hair, and olive complexion. Mary is a girl who is always quiet and reserved, not only at school, but every where I’ve seen her. She is very hard to make mad. In fact, I’ve never seen her mad, and this shows what a nice disposition she has. Last but not least, I want to say that I like Mary very much. Katherine Horsley. JULIET B. REDD Juliet Redd was chosen by the class as the most popular girl in the senior room. She has light brown hair, grey eyes and a fair complex¬ ion. Juliet takes a joke just the right way. Not long ago, during morn¬ ing exercises, she proceeded to take the top off her lunch box, only to find a pigtail curled up on her lunch. She gave a shriek and then burst into a spell of laughter. Harriet Spencer. BEATRICE SIMPSON Beatrice Simpson has dark wavy hair, brown eyes, and fair complex¬ ion. You always see Beatrice wear¬ ing a smile. She has a very sweet disposition and makes friends easily, especially with the boys. She knows how to take a joke. I have been with her for the last ten years and enjoyed being with her. She is a true friend for anyone. She is fond of outdoor sports, dancing and C.C.C. boys. Lillian Wright. HARRIET HILL SPENCER Harriet Hill Spencer is a medium type girl, with short brown, wavy hair, brown eyes and fair complex¬ ion. Harriet is a good sport and has many friends. She is liked by every one. The boys like her, too, but who would blame them? Harriet loves social life and has a good time wherever she goes. We all wonder what she is going to do after she graduates. Florrie Ewers.
