22 THE BEACCN SELMA JEAN SCOLL She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant too, to think on. The above remarks were attributed by a certain member of the class whose name we wont mention fwhat's the use?l Selma is indeed an enjoy- able and pleasing companion and she can say witty things when and where they do the most good. We all like Selma for many reasons, too numer- ous to mention, but there is one who has an option on that. WILLIAM WOLFE RADIN Willie Knowledge is all-powerful. Valedictorian. Home Room President, '20, '21, Latin Play, '21. Class Historian. Willie's hard study and search for knowledge has not been in vain, for behold! he stands at the head of the class. He braved the perils of Latin to the end after most of us had drop- ped out. His toil has won its reward and we love him for it. May he suc- ceed in life as well as he has here. His ambition is to be a lawyer, but if he does not talk any more than he has here-. But that's alright, Willie, don't let us kid you. We know you'll get there.

THE BEACON 21 GEORGE WALKER PIERCE Pierce A fellow of infinite jest. Home Room Representative, '22. Class Will. Here is the class jester. Pierce good joke or a funny always has a story on hand and he tells them sol- emnly, without cracking a smile. That makes it all the better. His witty re- marks in French and English classes keep us all snickering. George is a jolly good fellow, the kind everybody likes and loves to know. You may search the rest of your days but you will never find another just like him. NATHAN NORMAN PATZ Norman The curls of Adonis and the silvery words of fame. Baseball, 'Z22.

Not only in these has he shone. for you should see him 1-avorting' around the old initial Sack. A horn first baseman you would say. Yes, sir, this would be some school if only we haul a few more like him. 'lr

THE BEACON 23 MARIE GREIG SNIDOW A smile is the language of the soul. Marie only came to us last year but she has won a place in our hearts with her charming smile and cheerful countenance. She comes in the Camp Eustis truck every morning and she is never late and always she brings her smile. We have learned to like her and we would like to keep her all the time. EVELYN McIVOR SNEAD 'Tis the modest star that shineth best. Evelyn has always been retiring and modest. lVe never hear much from her but somehow we always feel the blessing of her presence. She is another of Mrs. Lake's willing helpers in the Commercial Room. She is al- ways giving sunshine in the darkest places and in the gloom of studies, and that is why we all love her so.
