Her wee voice is seldom heard, but when ' tis heard — catch every word ! Estelle, better known as helping hand, may usually be seen studying psychological habits. She has thought of teaching among the Corn- stalks in the West, but she has re- cently been applied for, as a private tutor, to teach one. Y. W. C. A. Athletic Association. Hiking Club.

Whenever we need niu.sic, be it Sacred or Jazz, Jo is to be counted on. Whenever anything is started, be it Art Club or Zoo Orches- tra, Jo is in for it. Versatile, accom- plished, a witty companion; but, best of all, a friend always to be counted on, this is the part of Jo, the typical Southern girl. President Dramatic Club.

MILDRED LOUISE BEANE Molusk, Va. Such a neat little creature you seldom see as this dignified ( ?) serious Beans, who always looks as though Ihe lid of a band box had been raised and out she had stepped. The A ' s and A + s she receives are by no means her highest ambitions — for she aspires to own a Ford. Y. W. C. A. Membership Committee. Athletic Association. Russell Literary Society. Glee Club. Eight ANN W. BLAND Jamaica, Va. Slie s just a bit of a Senior, really Tom Tliniiili ' s double, possessiiii - the biaiiis of a giant. Realizing that knowledge is power, Ann has turned serious at- tention to becoming powerful. She is always cheerful about her work, and no matter when you come around, you may always hear her humming.

Who is this tall goddess of Beauty? None other than our May t ueen of 1019, Jessie. Not only is she a goddess of Beauty but one of Love, Attraction, Science and Dancing. Although she loves to dance, she does not love to walk; but that is only natural since her Feets never allows this unneces- sary exercise ! Glee Club. Art Club. Athletic Association. Y. W. C. A.

Grace is our sunshine girl, and we go to her with our troubles and joys. She is an excellent student, a faithful worker and a loyal friend. Memories of her will be carried in the hearts of many of her classmates long after leav- ing their Alma Mater. ELSIE BROADDUS Bowling Green, Va. AVlio is this fluffy ruffy little Senior strolling into Mr. Tyner ' s class at the eleventh hour? Why it ' s Elsie, the girl who joined us as a sub-prep. She is a lovable girl and her sweet disposition will serve as a model for all her follow- ers. HILDA HAINES BROOKS Sparta, Va. To look at Hilda is to be convinced of where the author of There Are Smiles got his inspiration. This Senior has a somewhat different conception of the number of workiug days in a week from the rest of us. Hilda believes you should labor five days in a week but al- ways reserve Friday nights for . Y. W. C. A. FRANCES BLAND TUCKER BRYAN Petersburg, Va. Tuck is our class poet and dictionary as well as a rawtha brainy young creature. She can quote Byron or the Bible with the greatest of ease, and act it all the while — still, we must admit that she is a regular Queen Elizabeth about her hands. Tresident of Y. W. C. A. AVoodrow Wilson Literary Society. Athletic Association. Zoo Orchestra. MILDRED CHANDLER Newport News, Va. Mildred is a shy, attractive girl with an abundance of golden curls. When one looks into her blue eyes, something more than book knowledge is suggested and although she ' s famous for her baby stare, don ' t think for a moment she isn ' t all that ' s expected by the State Normal School. Y. W. C. A. Athletic Association. Les I ' etites Cui.sinieres ( Sec ' y and Treas. ) ADA BARADALL CHAPMAN Newport News, Va. This tall cheerful Senior is one of those rare specimens who really like (?) to burn the midnight oil. She may have her head full of teaching and Sociologj ' but that ' s not all.

FANNIE CARR CHAPMAN Stanardsville, Va. Fannie has an optimistic disposition and a romantic sense of humor which enables her to always see and find the Cutest Thing. Fannie Carr is indeed well known as a T. S. star, but if you think that is the only place .she can shine — well, somebody will have to change his mind. Les Petites Cuisinieres. Athletic Association.

Her scholarly record has won for her the esteem of all her class- mates. Kussell Literary Society. Hiking Club. Athletic Association. Y. W. C. A. Student Gov ' t Repr esentative. RUTH SINCLAIR CRISMOND Spotsylvania, Va. ' lleu you hear On La La, AVee Wee rendered with extra pep, and you see a young lady dancing almost as much on the p ' iano stool as the rest of us do on the floor, you ' ll know it is Ruth. She puts that much pep in everything and if Ruth thinks as fast as she talks, we know she is skilled in mental gymnas- tics. Dramatic Club. German Club Leader. Y. W. C. A. Athletic Association. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. Glee Club. Zoo Orchestra. Wit Editor of Class Book. CAROLINA GARLAND DALTON Fredericksburg, Va. She ' s a winsome wee tiling. Although she is quite tiny, she makes herself both seeu and heard, Carrie ' s size vouches for the truth of the saying, Precious packages are put up in small jiarcels. By her pleasing personality and genial disposition she has gathered to her side many admiring friends. Glee Club. ETHEL CORNELIA DAUGHTRY Richmond, Va. Ethel was never known to be in the slightest hurry, not even in gym class, but she gets there just the same. Per- haps if more Seniors would adopt Ethel ' s motto: Slow but Sure, there would be more A ' s in the class. Y. W. C. A. Hiking Club. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. DOROTHY ST. JOHN DURRETTE Fredericksburg, Va. Who is that pitching goals with such accuracy? Why, don ' t you know Dnr- rette is the most lofty member of the Senior Class? We couldn ' t exist with- out her, though like the rest of us she isn ' t immune from romantic ideals, her chief being he-Eowes. Y. W. C. A. Russell Literary Society. Athletic Association.

Frances is a staunch and loyal friend, seldom worries and is always cheerful, but she has two weakuesses: namely, lier particular fondness for working in the school garden, and her ardent love for Qnantico dances. Some day jjer haps she will make her permanent abode at Quantico so she can attend all the dances. Art Club. LILLIE ELLIS FERGUSSON Newport News, Va. Lillie is very partial to the world For- gotten — perhaps there is a reason. She always has a cheerful word for every- body, and never was there a better friend. Some times she is called Rip as she generally is asleep. However, .she always manages to wake up in time to answer when called on. Athletic Association. Kus.sell Literary Society. Glee Club. Y. W. C.

One day at the beginning of our second term there wandered into our midst Le Claire, a pretty teacher-to-be, witli big sad eyes. But their expression deceives her personality; she is not sad — she is gay and happy. We do not think of hei- as a newcomer but as one who has been •with us throughout the years of train ing. MARGARET JEFFRIES Culpeper, Va. Absolute sincerity of purpose and straightness of action have charactei- ized Margaret ' s endeavors throughout her- school days with us.

Behold, one of the most youthful mem- bers of the Senior Class in form and feature, but not in intellect.

She is quiet mannered, everlast- ingly studious, and possessed of a desire to hecome a teacher. Sensibleness is foreign to many girls, but with her it is an innate virtue.

Twenty-five lass iMistortr Place: Hauolulu, Ha yaiia. Time : 1925. Occasion : Homesickness. I T was jnst Ave years ago that Jo, Kutli, Katlierine, Luck and I left the good old U. S. A. to take up our vocation as schoolma ' ams in this gay little old town of Honolulu, T. H. Of course, we have been home every summer, but each year when September has rolled around there has been a bit of quaint attractiveness about this cli- mate that has called us back. You know that in our Senior year at the good old P. S. N. S. we made up our minds to come here to teach. Everybody laughed at us, and said that, of course, it was just talk, but we were determined that our dreams should be realized. So here we are, with nothing to regret, for everything is just great in this land of witcherj ' and song. But let us return to the real subject of my letter. You remember, 1 said at the beginning that tiie occasion of this ramble was homesickness. Indeed, it is seldom that one gets a chance to be homesick here, but we have been spend- ing the day at Wakaikee. We swam a little, danced a little, and wound up by going up the beach to an Hawaiian concert given by a troupe ju.st returned from the States. While we were enjoying the music, suddenly they started up, Carry me back to Old ' irginia, the steel guitar taking the lead. A hush fell upon the group, and a mist gathered in each eye. Suddenly we arose and made our way up the beach, and back to Honolulu. So here we are at the hotel, jnst ha ing discarded our wiajis, and for the fiist time the silence is liroken when Ruth pipes up, 1 wonder what ' s going on at the old Normal now? ' ' Well, the rest chimed in, we were just thinking the same thing. So we started talking a bit about our years on the old Hill, hoping our reminiscences would help us to get over the blues. (Class J isturu That is how it started. We agreed that it was up to Luck to tell us about the first year that the ( ' lass of 1920 started its career, for she was the ouly re- maining member of the first year class. She readily consented, for all who re- member her know that talking was and still is her middle name. Arranging herself comfortably, she began : ' ' I know you all remember Mary Gouldin, Euth Hicks and Gladys Parker. Now we were the founders of the good old class of 1920. We were dreadfully shy and timid, and not many girls knew that such a class existed. It took us an entire year to organize, most of our time being spent in making ourselves as inconspicuous as possible. We kept out of the way of our grand superiors with their vast and recently acquired knowledge, so our first year was almost wholly uneventful. We begged Luck to tell us more; but she insisted there was nothing more to tell, so we decided that it was now Jo ' s turn to relate the happenings of the second year. Jo, shy as ever, declared she couldn ' t do it, but as that submissive timidity wore off, she held us spellbound with anticipation as she started with our matriculation that 8th day of September. That was the year we came, (Jlenn, and with us, Eebecca Janney, Louise Haislip, EoUie, and a few more, and, oh, yes! 1 almost forgot Dot Jones. By the way, did you know that she is married? Captured a Captain during the war. Can you imagine such luck? Well, that was a great class. I really be- lieve we had more fun that year than ever after. We aspired to such high Things. Yon know the subprep and prep basketball teams were not allowed to play in the interclass games; but we worked so hard and practiced so faith- fully that our dear old friend Miss Marshall allowed us to play a game against the freshmen, and much to everybody ' s surprise, we won. That victory set us wild. We challenged every class in the school, but strange to say, they all refused. They pretended to be above playing with mere preps, but I have always believed they feared defeat. Does that sound a bit egotistical? Well, we were big egotists in thost days. We journeyed along through the year in English, Algebra, Botany and Zoologj ' , but our fight was not in vain, for when June rolled around it found us ready for that longed-for year when we would be full-fledged freshmen, privileged to participate in athletics, etc. But you know 1 did not come back 7 iuenf}j-5evc Qllass istory that year, and I always Yill regret it. But tell me wliat happened, Glenn? Pni interested. ! ow it was easy for me to talk about that great Freslunan year, when we took on so many new phases of life, including the privilege of being little sisters to the Juniors, and taking an actual counting part in athletics. But these were minor details when compared with receiving into our class those famous lights wdio were to pilot us safely through the remaining four years, and prove stars in our class flrmament. These were Louise Harwood, Dorothy Durette, Bethany Benforth, Mildred Beaue and Helen Chewning. Truly at the men- tioning of these names you must know how momentous was their advent into our class. By this time it was impossible to repress any longer Ruth ' s wild desire to talk, for she came to us along with Katherine Frazier, Jessie Bouldin, Helen Robertson and Gertrude Morgan to take their domicile in our stately halls of learning. Each brought a talent of which our class was later to boast. Ruth became the ' school musician, Jessie the school beauty, Helen to sing and Ger- trude to become our noted athlete. That was tlie year in which we won such athletic fame, coming out on field day second, losing out ouly to the S eniors. Those Juniors were a sore bunch, but that wasn ' t the whole of our fame, for who does not remember our first dramatic attempt in that Sophomore play we gave for the benefit of the Red Cross ? I can never think of that play but that the picture of Grace Davis, Elizabeth McRae and Helen Robertson dressed in coats and hats borrowed from the Quantico marines and screaming patriotic songs comes before my mind. Do you remember the applause that took down the house? This raving success not only displayed our budding talent, but the money realized car- ried us 50 cents over the Junior class, who scored |100 for the campaign. Will you ever forget that year as it was drawing to a close? I expect we were a little selfish in thinking of having our cougenial, friendly and co-opera- tive little group enlarged into a serious-minded Junior class. But we had no idea then of what fine talent that class would bring, for with. September Kfth there came such girls as Harriet Pressy, whom the gods sent to pilot us through the financial difficulties of our Senior year; Tucker Bryan, who came to inter- iiret to us the wisdom of the past and present educational problems whidi were Twenl-g-elghi (Class Mtstoru to coiifroDt lis. There were also countless others wlio were destined to be none the less fanioris. But here is where I stop. Wake up, Katherine, and tell us about the Junior year. Then Katherine, who all this time had been sitting lazily in a big wicker rocker, slowly lifted her ej ' es and said, Let Luck tell this one. I ' m too sleepy, and immediately fell back into her former repose, whereupon we all cried, Katherine Frazier, you are just as lazy as ever. But these censuring re- marks had no effect upon our Kitty, who good-naturedly replied, I in not lazy, girls. I just don ' t want to get tired. Katherine is hopeless, but we wouldn ' t take anything for having her with us here. Her dry wit adds zest to our pleas- are, and, by the way, she and Ruth are foremost in learning to play the Hawaiian guitars. Vhy, if yon could hear them you would declare them rivals of Bill, who played witli that troupe our last year at Fredericksburg. L ' ossibly if Katherine were as good at talking as she is in Hawaiian music she ' d tell us the exjjeriences of the Junior year, but since talking involvcil too much effort, we had to fall back on onr good-natured Lnck. ' ' This was a year indeed in which hard work and jileasnre were intricately combined. First of all, there was the time wlien we made our debut into edu- cational society, being introduced this season liy Mr. Tyner to Mr. Kousseau, Mr. Pestalozzi and Mr. Froebel, four men wliom am ' class might feel honoreil to count among their acquaintances. Then came the call from Uncle Sam for us to do our share in winning tlie World War by taking part in the taiited War Work Campaign. Don ' t you remember how we decided to shuck corn to help raise our share of the money ? Those corn-shnckings, which, while calling forth the best that was in us, were yet not lacking in firn. I shall never forget the day we were assigned to a little farm about four miles out from Fredericksbui g, owned by Mr. Sonny Powell. The time we did have! We applic l ourselves to our work until the one o ' clock whistle blew, summoning ns to the house. Much to our surprise, there awaited us under a spreading oak a regular picnic dinner of doughnuts, apples, sandwiches and cotl ' ee. But other far more important tilings now arise before me. I can feel the excitement of great basketball contests, and the tlnill of victory, when it was known that the Juniors had won lirst in basketball. We were even vain enough lo think the cup was ours. Wlien field day (li l airive, our participants in the Tacnlp-i (ttlass fstnrg various contests entered with jjlucli and daring. Then, at last, our suspense was broken, for our fondest hopes had come true. The cup was ours, and we were tlie victors. In connection with Fiehl Day, we recall the Queen of May, our admired and loved Jessie Bouldin. And last, but not least, the Junior- Senior reception, to which we issued an invitation to the Seniors to .spend a couple of hours witli us at a ' Dark Town Strutters ' Ball. ' ' ' When June came we could scarcely realize that when we came together again as a class we should be dignified Seniors. In one more year our educa- tional process would come to an end. After Luck had finished telling of the Junior year, the girls requested me to tell the story of our last year at school. As we were to start an entirely differ- ent course, those days meant a great deal to us. It was not an easy thing to relate the events of that year, for in many ways there was a strain of sadness in it for us all. But since they asked me, I began : I might as well begin with our return after vacation to face the dread specter of the Training School. While we gathered in our confab, telling all The trilling things that had happened while we were apart, someone asked who the new Senior was? Then we found that we were to welcome into our group Nettie Lokey, the nightingale of the class. Can you imagine with what feelings of dread the teaching Seniors went down to the Training School that bright September morning ? It seemed as if the very sun had gone into eclipse, and all our newly acquired vSenior dignity melted into trembling suspense. But soon all this passed and as we became acquainted with our pupils the work lightened, until at the Christmas season we were loath to leave them. Yet theie was something of relief at the Christmas holidays, when we left responsibilitj ' behind and returned to the classroom. But we were only too quickly undeceived when we entered Biology and had to handle bugs and worms and frogs, all those cold, creepy things. Memories of the Biology ' joke ' books still linger in onr minds, but it was never our lot to be brilliant, for we always considered brilliancy a bore. Our professor remarked that he needed a shock absorber when he came to look over our notebooks. In the meantime the teaching Seniors were struggling valiantly with the problems of the Training School, and amusing themselves as they skated and slipped on the ice going to school. At last, however, our days of separation Thlriv Cdlass istnro were over, and we were all reunited again in the classroom as the balmy days of spring, sweet with the scent of dew-laden flowers, brought the last terfQ of our school days to hand. ' ' But with might and main did we struggle over our Senior classbook and rustle for ads and funds to put it over. We did put genius into ways and means of getting things together, and now it remains with us still, an eloquent souvenir of those hallowed days we spent together upon the Old Hill. We do not look much now as we did then, and while we are far apart, here is the symbol that unites us all through the passing years. Then I remember the crowning event of the year, the Junior-Senior re- ception. What a rustling there was of new gowns, and what excitement as we went to the gala occasion, when we should impress the Juniors with the wisdom and grace of the Senior class. After our class victory in basketball, however, we could afl ' ord to be generous, and so we were, aud there agreed to bury the hatchet. We won the championship, but oh, that coveted Cup ! Ours was a class record of which we were justly proud. But hark, the clock upon the mantel has struck the hour of eleven, and the Hawaiian guitars chime out from the dim distance the time of our parting. So we quietly separated for the night, each of us lost in reveries and memories of the old days. Soon we were lulled to sleep to the tune of Alohoe. Thirt -o OIIciss oem In spite of all the weariuess That comes with monthly tests; In spite of all the drudgery That often each detests; If you could gi ' e it back to us, The work, the fun, the play ; If you could give it back to us On this our biggest day, We ' d stop a minute, then lay by These ribbons, honors, lace And slip into the tracks once more And keep the same old pace. For what is sweeter than the fun We ' ve had these last few years? Who could be dearer than the friends We ' ve made and leave with tears? And so it ' s come and we no more Shall come back in the fall ; Ko more shall feel a class day thrill Or whoop at basketball.

As through the coast of ancient Greece, I once did chance to go, I came upon this Mystic crone. And begged of her to know. Oh, oracle of Delphi, pray Ope the unseen years.

This island teems with lovelj- maids And grassy skirts that wave, From such a fate our IS ' oble Glenn The Vampish Hats will save.

Who worked in canteens neat, Eugenia, Hilda, and Estelle, Whose hands are ever fleet. From Cora, Marion, and Grace We hear of foreign parts; Of Margaret and Margurete We learn of our domestic arts.

Imagine Miss Tanner not being in a hurry, And Eunice Taylor ever stopping to worry. Imagine Mildred Chandler without any curls, And Gertrude Morgan not being crazy about girls. Imagine Mellie Winstead falling in love. And Mabel Comstock not as calm as a dove. Imagine Dr. Young not working us to death. And Miss Atkinson giving us time for breath. Imagine Dorothy Durette not being tall, And Kathryn and Ruth having any cents at all. Imagine all this — what a world it would be! Quite too changed a one for you and me.
