THE OAK LEAF, 1922 Senior Class Lola Gibboney Proffitt And fair she is, if mine eyes he true. And true she is, as she hath proved herself. ’ Athenian Literary Society; Senior Program. Lola is one of the most brilliant girls in the class, although not known or noted for her studious habits, much preferring Zane Grey to Wells Hart. Long will we remember Lola as impersonating ‘Miss Minerva, which role she acted so well, yet we admit that she is not intended for an old maid. As a teacher we predict a great future for her. William Gernon Wall A specimen of manhood rare. We ' d hate to pay for his bill of fare. Athenian Literary Society; Athletic Association; Varsity Football, ’21. Gernon isn t noted as a scholar, we admit, but who is thought more of by every one than he? He has adopted the policy, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and by his good nature has won the friendship of all. Very polite, a dead-game sport, a promising athlete, and an all-round good fellow. Isa Victoria Ratcliff “She is worth her Weight in gold Athenian Literary Society. “Isy may think we are overrating her value. However, we know that this is a poor estimate. Isa, who believes in always being prepared, is willing to pass her hard-earned knowledge on to some idle joy-seeker. Her one regret on leaving high school is that her name has so frequently been mispronounced, having been called everything from Isa to “Icie. Her beaming countenance, good nature, and cheery smile will linger forever in the hearts of her fellow classmates. Page twenty-five

Lillie is one of the most loyal members of the Class of ’22. Through her sweet disposition, her quiet, unassuming manner, and her natural dignity she has won many friends. The best wishes of the class go with her. James Price King What should a man do hut he merry? Athenian Literary Society; Varsity Football. ’20- ' 21; Manager Basketball, ’21; Manager Football.

Since it is a well-known fact that “Jim is the school comedian, we wonder who will be his successor, allhough we confidentially know that no one will be able to fill it so efficiently as he. There is no one in school who doesn’t know him, because he is in a state of perpetual motion, due to his duties as business manager of the Oak Leaf. To his executive ability, business qualities and enterprise, this book owes largely its existence and measure of success. Daphne Curtis Myers As one of 22 ' s models Daphne is renorvned , — A more stylish, voguish person can not be found. Athenian Literary Society. Daphne, hailing from New River, came to us in our sophomore year abounding in humor and class spirit. She is one of our most attractive members. Her immaculate and stylish appearance, together with her beauty, makes her one of our most charming girls. Her splendid coiffures are both the delight and envy of all the girls. She says she is preparing to teach, but not for long, for we think that she will shortly move to Roanoke. Page twenty-four

THE OAK LEAF, 1922 Senior Class Myrtle Frances Reed The way to gain a friend is to be one Athenian Literary Society; Jolly Set. Myrtle came lo us In our junior year, entering heartily into all school activities, and has contributed much to the merriment of the class. Never will we forget her almost daily argument with Mr. McConnell concerning geometry; her breathless arrival at 12:50 p. m. and innocent inquiry: Am I late? together with her love for anything entertaining or romantic — well, in fact, we won t forget Myrtle at all. Glenn Reich McLeod “ Brilliant and handsome is our class dude. And you ' ll always find him in a gay mood. Athenian Literary Society. How does Glenn manage to keep so speckless and spotless? When all the rest of the class are weaiy, disheveled and grimy, Glenn, much to our envy, emerges from the heap with his usual smile. Despite his neat appearance, he is one of our most loyal fellow students and has a wide circle of friends through- out the entire school. Margaret Pauline Scott Of disposition soft and sweet. Is entertaining yet discreet. A girl you’re always glad to meet , — That ' s Pauline. Athenian Literary Society. “Among the good there is the best,” so it is with Pauline. We seldom think of her that we do not instantly connect with her the missing link — Nina Linkous. Her quiet and amiable disposition and faithfulness as a friend will serve her well when she lakes up her walk of life. Page twenty-six
