-lf, Q X ' li ' r Helen Starke, B.A. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA By the twitching of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes. Helen is a jolly good fellow, ready for any and every kind of fun. Talking about fun, mischief and meanness-if we should listen to a member of her family, we might get the idea that Helen's not Ht to live with. We do know, though, that for the short time we see her, you can't have a minute's rest in hcr company. But somehow or other you don't want to. No chestnut nor stage-coach affairs about this lively impersonation of all that is conducive to mirth. Helen is very rightly one of T he Weavers, for she is as clever and witty with her drawing pen as she is with that brain of hers. Chief Characteristic: Making puns, puns, puns Ca few daffydills thrown in for varietyj. Chief Recommendation: Those devilish eyes. Adelphian Literary Society, Secretary and Treasurer Junior Class, '11-'12, jokes and Grinds Editor of Weaver, ,I2-,135 Class Historian, '12-'13. Susie Starke, B.A. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA We may live without friends, We may live without books- But the civilized man cannot live Without cooks. Suk is just that bright and vivacious that you like to be with her. She is possessed, moreover, with a really marvelous ability for talking people deaf, dumb and blind. Susie is always in a hurry, always busy, but, strange to say, always has time to loaf-that is, in a really-must-go, or a hurry-up sort of a way. After finishing at the Woman's College, it is her sole ambition to spend a year at Hollins for her pleasure only-the proper emphasis desired on that last phrase. Well, good luck to you, Suki Chief Characteristic: Waiting around to chat with Mary Carter. Chief Recommendation: Having the time of her young life. Adelphiang Vice-President junior Class, 'II-'12, Business Manager of Chisel, '11-'12.

Fluvanna County is said to be noted for its persimmons and its beautiful women, and we may, indeed, say that the College has a good sample of its productivity in Virginia.
