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.
