MARSHALL BEULAH DAVIS. Huntington, W. Va. V. L. S. Class Prophetess. Miss Davis has always resided in Huntington and is well know at Marshall. She came to us from the public school and has distinguished herself by her studious habits. Noted for her wit and humor. Motto: Life is what you make it. and she is fair and fairer than that word of wondrous virtues; sometimes from her eyes, 1 did receive fair speechless messages. JESSE RAYMOND GORDON, Liverpool, W. Va. m was born and reared in Liver-poo. mu j oil are convinced after a few minutes acquaintance with him. that lie lias not absorbed much of the commercialism that the name of his home suggests. He is more than a typical Englishman. His mind is set on the profession of law. To this single purpose he has hitched a strong mind and an unfaltering energy. The combination is irresistible and we warn all obstacles to step aside ete they are topped over and used as his stepping stones. KATHERINE ELDER. Ravenswood, W. Va. What a long name for such a little girl. Although the Elder she is the smallest of the class. Katherine is a graduate of the Ravenswood High School. She entered Marshall at the beginning of the school year. Her greatest trial this year has been occassioned by her room mates, one of whom prefers night to day for her work and the other is a Wolfe”. It was a great consolation to her. when in reading King Lear she found that Shakespeare sympathized with her and had written the following for her benefit. To be a comrade with the wolf and own,—necessities sharp pinch.” 24

(VIIR ABILIA ELIZABETH GRIMES, Ravenswood, W. Va. Miss Grimes entered school in the fall of 1908 and the Seniors were glad to hear she was one of them. She has the name of being very studious and when called upon to recite she recites with as much ease as if she were talking to a friend: she is considered one of the brightest girls in the class, and is a girl worthy of praise. EDWIN HAYSLIP, Huntington, W. Va. Edwin is one of the handsome young “town boys”, loves a great many things including French, German and girls. Spends a great deal of his time loitering in the halls. Says it is easy to make love in German. Janitor in French department, and always tardy. Somewhat shorter than his Heart’s Desire , but she expects him to become taller. He is ambitious and is sure to make a success in whatever profession he may choose. MAUDE HANSFORD, Roxbury, Ohio. Miss Hansford is another new member of the ’09 class. She was in school in Ohio before she came to Marshall. Maude is said to be one of the two pretty Senior girls, and her pretty ways add much to her beauty. She is fine at basket ball, but seldom finds time to practice. We are glad to have her with us. 23

MIR AB1LIA ARTHUR SAGE TOWNSEND, Huntington, W. Va. V. L. S. Mirabilia Board, ’09. Very often you may see a teacher, in the model department, take Arthur by the ear and tell him to walk-in. but they very soon let him go, when he assures them that he is a senior. lie is one of the youngest members of this class. He is also good looking but the girls never have the opportunity to tell him so. He is a hard student and his advantages are good for his becoming highly educated. EFFIE CORBLY, Huntington, W. Va. Effie is a girl who has gained the love cf all her class mates by her genial manner and pleasant smiles. One of her greatest difficulties is to agree with her teachers, as she has original thoughts on all subjects. F.ftie is never down hearted but it is said admires the “gay”. ROBERT GORDON TURNEY, Huntington, W. Va. Poses as a scientist and patron of the late lamented Peck. Is some-what shy about telling all he knows. Likes laboratory work, and in Chemistry has been experimenting with a Pearl. Is a good stayer. Can be relied upon to come to receptions early and stay late. Small but dignified personage, seems to think he would make a good husband, wears nose glasses on special occasions, and never gets beyond his moderate pace unless there is something ahead. 25
