18 THE BEACON MARY ALLENE MILLER Brevity is the Soul of Wit. .Allene is not given much to making lengthy remarks about those things that take place around her but every- thing she says has a meaning and is generally full of wit It may be that her few inches has something to do with it hut we are sure that what she lacks in height is made up for by her excellent sense of humor and good fellowship. MAVIS ESTELLA MAUPIN A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Mavis meets all her work and play with a smile that is seldom missing from her happy face. Her philosophy is to worry about nothing, take things as they come, and let others worry if they want to. We all have a place for her in our hearts that will seem very bare when she leaves.

THE BEACON 17 ROISERT lVIll,'l'0N MASSENISURG Eddie Milt A man's a man for a' that. Advertising' lVIanag'er Annual, '23 Home Room Representative,'21,' 22. Home Room President, '20, lCddie or Milt as we affection- ately call him, is the best-all-round fellow in the class. His stock of jokes and stories is infinite and he keeps us all chuckling.: most of the time. He's a fine sport and companion and there is none more obliging' or willing' to help than Eddie.f' As a student he is hard to beat for he has brains and certainly knows how to use them. We only wish that some of those A's would come our way occasionlly. We know that when Milt gets behind a thing' it's got to move, so we have no doubts of his success in the world. HELEN GRETNA MALLICOTTE An open-hearted maiden, true and pure. Gretna is a very retiring yet essen- tial member of our old class. She can do just as much mischief as the rest of us but she doesn't make near so much noise. In fact you'd scarce- ly suspect she was about if it was not for her funny remarks and her divine smile. After careful observation we must remark that her smiles are not bestowed upon her classmates alone. But that's alright, Gretna, we'll be sorry to lose you.

' THE BEACON 19 JAMES IJICKERSON l'Al.MElt Jimmy Take all of Virginia, but leave me Lynchburg. Vice-President Mathematical Club. '22, '23, Here is our Arrow Collar man: James is always dressed to perfection and everything must be just so. Jim- my looks very dignified, but don't judge people by their looks, for he is ine of the best fellows in the crowd. His favorite pastime is spending holi- days in Lynchburg. You wouldn't believe it but he is a French shark, too. Jimmy sure can Parlez-vous: it makes us feel envious to tell the truth, especially about time for re- port cards to be given out. So long, James, may you ever be the same good-natured fellow we have known in lligh School. ELLA CHARLOTTE NACHIVIAN Cheerful and pleasant as a babl- ing brook. A funny girl is Ella. At times she is as quiet as our Caesar 'recitation period and again she chatters and giggles without ceasing. In class we never hear much from her, but when she is among ..er friends she is al- ways talking and expressing her opin- ions. Ella has only been with us a year, but she leaves a place that will be hard to iill when she's gone.
