MARGARET MORRISON SHERIFF “Micky” “A maiden good to look at, sir, and oh! so jolly.” Vice-president of Class ’22; Home Room Repre- sentative ’22, ’23; Secretary of Home Economics Club ’24, ’25; Class Play ’25. Margaret is one of our class beauties, and pretty maidens such as she are hard to find. Her person- ality is equally as lovely as her face, and that’s say- ing a whole lot. She is also a talented artist, singer, and dancer. We know just lots of people who share our admiration for Margaret, don’t we, Coles? We are going to miss this combination of fun and seri- ousness, and good student as well. May success follow your every footstep! GLADYS ANN SHIELD “Gladys” “The western star doth draw me on.” Gladys has a great ambition. That ambition is to go west. We wonder why the object of the ambition is Oklahoma. And there is a path to the office. We have a big idea that Gladys helped wear it. Well, Gladys, may you realize your ambition. Go to it, old girl, but return to the Old Common- wealth some day. FRANCES BERKELEY SMITH “As true, as the dial to the sun.” Basket Ball ’24, ’25; Basket Ball Manager ’24, ’25; Secretary of Class ’24; Circulation Manager Beacon ’24; Secretary Monogram Club ’24. If silence were as golden as the proverb would have us believe, what a mint we would have in our class. But when Frances speaks we keep quiet and listen. That’s Frances. Our best all around girl, who can be relied upon to fulfill any and all obli- gations. You may notice that by taking a second look at Frances’ record. Au revoir, old sport. May we meet again in later years! MARGARET HARRISON SMITH “Margaret” “Ever studious was she, ever active too.” Basketball ’23, ’24. There are quite a few athletic girls in our class. Margaret is one of the better kind. She is one of the few letter women around the school. Margaret was elected our most studious girl and she well de- serves the title; she studies as she comes to school, while she is in school, and as she is leaving school. May our little athlete and bookworm make good! Page Twenty-nine

PHILLIP PELTZ “Happy am I, from care Pm free, Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Shake hands with Jakie’s pugilistic friend. Phil- lip always has a smile on his face — even in battle, and that smile has completely captured our hearts. All through the four years that we have known Phillip, his cheerful ways, and readiness to help, have been our life-savers. Long may you live, Phil- lip, and good luck to you. FLORENCE NEOMA POWELL “Flossie” “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low — an excellent thing in woman.” Student Council ’21. Flossie is so frail and flower-like that we poor mortals look with awe upon her fairy lovliness. Looks are deceiving though, ’cause Flossie is very, very real, and we’re going to miss her dreadfully. She is always ready to sympathize with and comfort one. Luck be with you, Flossie, as you throw your gleaming smile across the stormy seas of life. EDNA HASBROUCG ROCK “Ed” “I had rather a fool to make me merry Than experience to make me sad.” Who is that giggling? Why, of course, it’s Edna. She laughs at everything and believes that a laugh will go a long, long way. You just bet it does, ’ specially when everybody is wearing a long face around about examination time. Then is when Edna and her merry laughter come in handy, and we certainly will miss her. Don’t forget to laugh when you get out into the business world, Edna, it will help a lot. ROBERT EMERSON SCHOFIELD “Inkie” “A man’s a man for a’ that.” Tra-la-la! Music? Did some one say music? Then just watch Inkie step out. He is one of our “Leap-Year” victims, and believes that it should come every other year instead of once every four. Although Inkie is inclined to be rather sentimental, we really can’t blame him because he has a wonder- ful ability to select the “choicest”. Page Twenty-eight

LUCILLE MABEL SMITHER “Lucille” “She was in love with love.” Class Plays ’22, ’23, ’24. Lucille is a quiet, dignified girl but she “livens up” at the word Williamsburg or “more” Williams- burg. Lucille is the office assistant this term and is always full of helpful information. She keeps us up on all the college “doings” and we certainly do like to talk to her. We’ll miss her. May success be hers! LUCY EILEEN SPENCER “Beans” “Just enough to swear by—” Secretary Girl Reserves ’24. She may be little, and maybe loud — but, say — did you ever see sweaters like the ones Eileen makes? Oh, my! You’ve missed the greatest fashion show ever. Beans is going to be a Modiste, we’ll just bet, because she can design the most beautiful dresses, sweaters, hats, and blouses. She goes further than designing — she makes ’em. Beans is a quiet, peaceful little girl who has won our hearts and we are going to lose a good pal when she leaves. ELEANOR ANDREW SPENCER “Eleanor” “But I remember now I am of this world.” Eleanor is one of our fair-haired girls. From the dreamy look in her eyes you would think she is a regular dreamer. She is, sometimes. And those other times she is something else. A good sport throughout our four years and a friend to every- one — that’s Eleanor. ALBERT SUTTLE “Al” “You mend your ways, I’ll mend your Fords.” Pause here, gentle reader, we have with us a master mind, seldom does he give utterance to words but more often does he think. Property man, that’s Albert. Dependable is the word that describes this immortal “Al.” Always up and going, he can drive a car at any rate. i Page Thirty
