Seniors Gladys Jenise Harper. Russellville, West Virginia. “Gloddie.” Normal. “Persist, persevere, and you will find most things attainable that are possible. Gladys is of a quiet and unassuming dis- position, and she goes about her work so studiously that there isn’t any reason why she should dread the revelation of the big book in the president’s office. She is an ardent worker in the Pierian Literary So- ciety, and her productions there are of such a nature as to justify the prophecy of a literary career, were it not for her success with the “model kids.” However, the indi- cations are that she will become a successful wielder of the birch twig, provided some man, who cares nothing for the progress of education, does not rule otherwise. Of her ambition we have not spoken ; heretofore it has been a diploma; but that day is no longer. If her thoughts follow the line of least resistance, which is for a normal senior, teaching, the state may profit by it. Class prophet. Eva George Hopkins. Danville, West Virginia. “Hoppy.” Normal. “To be merry best becomes you; for out of question you were born in a merry hour. No one is ever blue, when Eva is around, for with her comes the sunshine. During her stay among us she had gladdened many, many weary hours by her bright smiles and funny stories. In music she excels; for her work along this line is known and appre- ciated by all who have heard her. Senior privileges come but once and her perse- verance and years of waiting “Hoppy” has earned them. Her ambition is to be a trained nurse and live in single blessedness. She is sure to succeed in anything she under- takes, but — be careful “Hoppy,” not many people can resist your sunny disposition. “Joke Editor Harveyan.”

Ernestine Clara Blackwood. Milton, West Virginia- “Tot.” Normal. I am sure care’s an enemy to life.” Ernestine Clara Blackwood is too long a name for her so we call her simply “Tot” which suits her stature better. No one has ever been able to ascertain just how tall she is for it won’t do to ask her. But “1 ot makes up for her shortness bv being able to express herself freely on any subject. Some- how or somewhere, “Tot” has got the privilege of saying tilings to the teachers that no one else can. Perhaps it is because she has lived most of her life among them. Her aspiration is to be a school teacher up the G. V. where she sincerely hopes Latin and Geometry have never been heard of. May she attain success wherever she goes. Effie May Holton. Salt Rock, West Virginia. “Witty.” Expression, Normal. “I hear, yet say not much, but think the more-’ A faithful worker and a diligent student, she deserves the praise accorded her. Effie is always on time and does her w’ork so well that the reprimands of the teachers never come her way. She is a thoughtful and studious person, caring not for the gaieties and frivolities of life, but rather enjoys study and hard work necessary to attain success. Ambition is the secret of success; this is why Effie is successful. She has “hitched her wagon to a star” and is climb- ing toward the goal. Her work and stand- ing as a student need no comment, for we have seen and admired her pictures, heard and praised her readings, and listened while she spoke, for we knew her words were of sound wisdom. Secretary, Y. W. C. A.. 14; Artist, Harvevan. 26

Seniors Julia Mina Mallory- St. Albans, West Virginia. “Judy.” Normal. Of disposition gentle, of wisdom surpassing .’ 1 Julia is one who knows the value of study for she is very studious. This is her first year at M. H. C., but because of her ability to do much work in little time she belongs to the class of ’14. Julia is very poeti- cal as one who is so gentle and loving should be. Of her work in the Model School there is no use for us to speak, for she would rather teach eighth grade than do anything else. Julia is so good that it is quite natural for her to love good people and good people to love her. We predict a happy future for Julia and in making calls as a minister’s wife she will carry much sunshine. “Class Poet.” Emma Myrtle Kraus. Thayer, West Virginia- “Tiny.” Normal. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.” Myrtle is the one of the perpetual smile. She is one of the deepest thinkers of the class and one of the most industrious. Her note-books are marvels of neatness, her lessons, of perfection ; hence, examinations do not entail for her nights and days of sus- pense and dread. Because of her bright, helpful, and sunny disposition, she is liked by the whole school. Children instinctively love her, and there is no doubt that she will some day become one of the state’s best school-teachers, if something does not occur to turn her interests from pedagogy to “home economics.” As yet she seems “heart-whole and fancy-free,” but — well, one can’t always sometimes tell.
