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

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

MARSHALL STELLA DORIS RIGGS. Joseph Mills, W. Va. E. L. S. For wit and originality Stella cannot be excelled. Her cheerfulness has done much to brighten those who are inclined to despondency. Mathematics is her chief delight. Has won a great reputation in playing basket ball. Stella lias always been considered a modern girl, but in music she is several years behind the times. She is often heard singing “Hill Hailey, as she goes through the halls. FRED M. BOON. Lindside, W. Va. What makes “ Fredy great? IIis size? o, for he is only four feet eight by twenty three. Is it his surroundings? Xo. lie is nearer the ear'll than any member of the Senior Class. Being so near the earth one would expect to lind in his head those low ideals, the ones that float near the ground and tend to drag mortals down, but contrary to nature there is found in his head onl those ideals that tend to lift mortals to the skies. STANLEY K. COFFMAN. Huntington, W. Va. Manager of Basket Ball Team. 'The C9 class is very proud as it should be of its Mellin’s Food Baby”. Some people say one can’t be both handsome and brilliant, but we know there are exceptions to all rules and Stan is the exception to this one. He is agreeable to all he meets and especially the ladies. He is game to the core and will stand by a friend to the end. As to his ability to make love, ask a certain little girl in the Dormitory. Stan has one serious fault, if fault it is— The light that lies in woman’s eyes, has been his heart's undoing. 26
