' 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.

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.

20 THE BEACON IDA NIEI, HENRY PATRICIQ Dan A man o' independent mind' Class Plays. You might think, to look at Dan's name that he is descended from a long line of statesmen and orators. Well, maybe he is, but he has surely lost their tenacy for serious speech. If any one has knowledge of a good joke that our friend Dan has not heard we will award him the cast iron life preserver. lVe believe it's impossible. lt's Dan's opinion that nothing is ever new, especially a joke, but the funny part of it is that he always laughs at every one of them. MAY COLGIN PARKER A feather for every wind that blows. May is our old reliable when it comes to good times. She is a good sport and is everybody's friend and willing helper. Her pet eversion is lessons but we're all that way more or less. And say, can't she wink a wicked eye? The boys sure have to step carefully when she's around, But just the same we. wouldn't trade May for all the world and we don't know how we will get along without her.
