Ever since her appearance as a Greek Goddess in the class entertainment in '12 has Katherine been considered the most beautiful if not the most graceful member of our Class. Never has she the 'fbluesf' for her mind is constantly occupied with pleasant thoughts. 'Wfhether this is on account of her many V. P. I. and Blueheld admirers, or pure naturalness, we cannot tell. Anyhow, we look upon Katherine as a Ene student and a great attraction for the l913 Classg and can easily imagine her the happy mistress of a lovely home, in few years to come. EDWIN BLAKE CRABILL His heart was one of those which most clzaalzom' us,- W'as wax to recciw, and marblc' to 7'CfGIll.U Blake is the especial favorite of the girls in the typewriting room. I-Ie is their chief aid in securing paper, closing windows, and hxing machines. l-le is seldom too busy to help others, and because of this he is called upon for assistance more often than the other boys in the Senior Class. Blake's strong points are typewriting and general work in the business department. NVQ do not know what he contemplates making his life work, but whatever it is we predict that his pluck and determination will secure for him a position in whatever profession he chooses. MYRTLE VIRGINIA CHOCKLEY Her smiles are but touches of .mzzsluzze Myrtle has a quiet little manner that all respect yet she is jolly and bright. Her many friends will tell you that she is faithful in everything she undertakes. She has withstood the storms of tests and notebooks without ever losing her temper. lfVe hnd her indispensable to our welfare both because of her steadfast energies and gentle manner. l-Ier greatest 'fbugbearu is Trig, but this is soon forgotten by her devotion to English. This devotion is well requitcd by the respect in which the Faculty holds her. We are sure that her future will be as bright as her past, 18

. VIRGINIA LEE AMOS l'Ser1'ct of surrey.: is CUll.l'fCIllCy to p1z1'f10se. Nt. , , By her determination to overcome all obstacles Virgie has Ar ,xzeff 4 r 1 X. , S f 4 'J Z won the admiration and esteem of our whole Class. Her g' I wonderful courage was proved when she undertook three foreign Y languages, and so well has she succeeded in these that she is H, ZADAVI A a htting example to the lower classes. Besides being xery modest Virgie has a large amount of cheery optimism, which has made smooth and Howery, through the High School her Ma gis? road and the road of many others. FRANK EUGENE BROWN, JR. Al man in riglzteoizszzess arrayed. Behold this pompadoured genius. He is generally thought to possess the most active imagination in the Senior Class, and his ability to spin yarns would put any sea-farer to shame. Frank also holds the medal for owning the greatest appetite, and has been known to conliscate great quantities of lunch on various occasions. He is also renowned as a mathematical prodigy and can fathom the intricate depths of geometry. As manager of the football team he carried his warriors on many raids, and became a general school favorite. As an architect Frank will no doubt build structures which will far surpass the pyramids and the hanging gardens of Babylon, and will leave his name carved upon the world's history. A wgx MARY CALLIE BENNETT I Heart on her lips and so-zz! wifliin her eyes, Soft as the :lime and .rzzmzy as the skies. Vtfe should all appreciate the fact that Callie travels two hundred-lifty-seven miles several times a year for the privilege of enjoying the advantages of R. H. S. She is one of our most P- popular girls, and numbers her friends by the score. Her ability as an actress was well shown in the Junior play, especially when she so dramatically closed the Suffragette scene with the words My Hero. Callie has always succeeded in getting through her classes creditably, although she has not any wrinkles as the result of study. She was elected treasurer of our Class in the Senior year, but money matters have not bothered her so far. lfVe shall all miss her sunny smile and loving manners when she leaves us to go back to her seashore home. 17

ESTHER MITCHELL COULBOURN She 'is considerate, fcazclcr, sympallzeflc, 1'ej511ed. ' Although Esther has not been with us during the entire four years, by her charming manner she has won a large place in our hearts, and is recognized as a natural leader. She was the lirst president of the Martha VVashington Literary Society, and a delegate to South Boston, where she succeeded in carrying off the medal for elocution. Not least among Esther's many accomplishments is her ability as a chauffeur, and she can handle a Flanders with astonishing dexterity. She is noted for her brilliant and original translations-which, alas, our beloved lan- guage teacher does not appreciate. As editor-in-chief of this Volume, she has shown rare ability in keeping the Annual Board in working order and in presiding over meetings. She expects to take a kindergarten course at Farmville next year, but we predict that autos will have a far greater attraction for her than 'tdie Kinder. HENRY ASHBY DAVENPORT Talked of noble aims and high, Hizzled of a futtlru fine. Henry has always given us the impression of a Greek hero, even before his victory in the hve-mile foot-race in 1911, when he won the medal. 1-Ie is one of our best athletes, having played half-back on the Football Team '12, and was one of the stars on the '13 Basket Ball Team. His physical strength does not exceed his literary taste, however, for Henry is one of the most studious Seniors, at least he always manages to know his les- sons. As secretary ,of the Boys' Club, an active member of the I. L. S., and as athletic editor of this Acorns of Roanoke, he has borne the burdens of the school heroically and willingly. ln a few years, as a mechanical engineer, we shall see for him the beginning of a prosperous and happy future. MAUDE LEOLA CRUMPACKER nlflflzile this world lasts farlziozzs will 1'ule. ' Maude, like many of the Seniors, has a will all her own, and whenever we hear no from her, we know of old that to insist would be useless. Her faithfulness to M. VV. L. S. will long be remembered, also the envy with which her fellow stu- dents looked upon her knowledge of English and chemistry. Maude has enthusiasm in whatever she undertakes. Especially was this manifested in the Class Entertainment, '12g so should she fully decide that her calling in life is to be a suffragette, we know there will be none with more earnestness and lidelity than she. 19
