Home Room Representative, '21, Home Room President, '20, '21, '22, Class Plays. Third Honor Student. Gilbert has only been in our class one year but he is one of the bunch. We all like his sincere manner and quiet ways. Although he never has much to say, when he does say some- thing it is worth listening to. -Now don't get the idea that he Wears a long face, for he can be the jolliest of the crowd when there is any fun go- ing on. He has the qualities of a suc- cessful worker, and he knows how to use his ability, that's why we sorry to see him go.

THE BEACON 9 MARTHA R. CHAPIN A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial, coaxing way she had. Assistant Secretary Eureka Liter- ary Society, '22, '23, Class Secretary, '20. Treasurer French Club, '21, '22. President Biology Club, '22, '23, Class Plays. Martha is the little sunshine of our class. No matter what be the trouble she always has a smile which drives away our frowns in a jiffy. Maybe that smile is what makes her so pop- ular. We don't know for sure, for Martha has many admirers in the school. Indeed, judging from her fol- lowing in the stronger sex, you might call it The Siege of Seven Suitors. We're sure of one thing, though, we all like Martha and we are mighty sorry to lose her. MARGARET CHANDLER A woman's hair is her crowning , ar glory. Did someone ask a question? No. That was only Margaret talking. She can ask more questions in one period than we can think of in a week. Whether she expects them all to be answered we don't know, but it does not seem to bother her. We all love Margaret because she is always ready for fun and a good time. She is the best sport we know. Be there lessons or foolishness, she is right in the midst of it. Margaret don't like pub- lic speaking, but that doesn't prove that she can't talk. Everyone loves her curly hair and if such were possible We're afraid someone would steal it.

THE BEACON 11 SARAH VIRGINIA IDAUGHTREY Via Modesty seldom resides in a heart not enriched by noble virtues. Class Creed, '23. Class Plays. Second Honor Student. Via is one of the sweetest char- acters of our class. To watch her gentle movements, her dainty bows and hear her soft voice carries us back to the old Colonial days of Vir- ginia. There is nothing' so difficult but what Via is ready to help and solve the trouble. We all love her for it and we know what we are losing' for she has no equal. ETHEL RENNIE DAVIS She excells where others fail. Home Room Representative, '22. Ethel is a real hard Worker, in fact, she might take as her motto Deeds not Words. She always has the in- terest of the class at heart and works for its betterment. Ethel also has the rare ability to make A's on many subjects, among which is Latin. But Cicero and Virgil hold no terrors for her. W'e know she will succeed in whatever she does.
