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.

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.

24 THE BE ACON FELIX WILTON WEINHOLD A man may smile and smile and be a villian still. Something was sure overlooked when this school was built. They should have installed beds in all class rooms for the benefit of tired stu- dents. Felix is about the laziest boy we know, and yet he's the best natur- ed, easy-going boy in the whole crowd. One cannot help liking him with his grin and cheerful optimism towards his lessons. MILDRED GRAY WALL Speech is silver, silence is golden. Class Plays. Mildred is the sort of a girl who never talks much and never thrusts her presence upon us, but the crowd would not be complete without her. She has not been known to say any- thing' about anybody unless she has something' good to say. Mildred is an ideal girl. We wish there were many more of her.
