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.

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.

THE BEACON 25 ALEXANDER RONALD VVILLS ulzonyn Be sure you're right, then go ahead and do it. Student Council, '21, '22, Vice-President Philolethian Liter- ary Society. '22, Class Presentation. Rony is slow but sure. He does not waste any effort-he even laughs that way. And when he gets started on something he will not quit till it's settled right. Rony is not especial- ly brilliant but he stands out above the rest as a hard worker and a lead- er of his fellows. We hate to see him lm-ave the old school. CECILE FLORENE WRIGHT A sunny disposition is half the battle. Do you hear that steady giggle which comes from the back of the room? Well, do a little investigating and you will find it comes from Cecile. Lessons have no terrors for her. She looks them in the face and laughs them away. Her smiles have not gone astray for we fear she has lost her heart since we have had her.
