Etna 15115 uf BUHHURB 1917 DOROTHY FONTAINE LACY The purest treasure mortal times aford, ls spotless reputation. This is certainly true of Dorothy. She has been a diligent student through her three and one-half years at R. H. S. How she carried six subjects in her Senior year, most of us cannot understand. Even though she is very studious we know that shedoes not spend all of her time studying for she has been an enthusiastic basket-ball player for the last two years and has kept many forwards from putt- ing the ball in the ring. Dorothy is stubborn and very finicky, but her gentleness and willingness to help others has made her popular yvith all the students and they wish her future success. A. A., G. C.: Bt. B. 'I6-'I7. HENRY LOEWENSTEIN Better tale than never. This applies lo Henry's daily arrival at school for he answers roll- call every morning from the head 'of the stairs or sends a deputy to announce his arrival. Henry is very foncl of flowers, especially the Rose, he also likesdancing, particularly 'ilzilorine Waltz. When it comes to being a Shakespearean comedian, ,Henry has no rival. The 'l7 Class all wish him great success in the business world which he is to enter. l... S. WILLIAM THOMAS LEAVELL Shes jolly and tall, carefree, withal, Ana' a good sport me know her to lac, With the milclest manners and the softest call, A mighty good friend is she. Willie, better known to us as Bill, is always on the Leavell. On account of her good humor and wit she has won our hearts. Her ability to see the humorous side of life is just one of her many attrac- tions. Bill is good-looking, too. She is crazy about movies and dancing. Notwithstanding her 'nuttiness -Willie has bummed her way through Roanoke High for she, like the rest of us, faithfully abides by the saying, Never do to-day what you can put oil: till to-morrow. But we can't appreciate Bill's true worth till we con- sider what a long distance she comes to be with us, having come from the Blue-Grass Region. Nevertheless she is all right and we know she will be very suuccessful wherever she goes. A. A.: G. C.

I9l7 QIKUE115 Df BUHIID VIVIEN I-IUTTON Whose eyes are blue as the slfy, Whose hair is countless gold incomparable. Blond little Vivien is one of the most attractive members of our Class and in the art of giggling is an adept. Orginality is another one of her chief pointsg her witty.remarlcs are always greeted with genuine hilarity by the pupils and with great consternation by the Faculty. As a Latin star Hutton has few equals and no jealous enemies. A patriotic little soul she is, too, else why spend so, much time at the American? ln business life she will never be imposed upon, for even now she knows what she wants and always aslcs the Price. All together Vivien is a dear, jolly girl and will always have a host of friends. M. W. l... S. WARREN WOMACK KOONTZ The secret of success is conslancy lo purpose. If the above quotation is true Warren will certainly reach the De- lectable Heights of Success. He puts determination into everything he goes into and comes out -in triumph. Warren has, beyond a doubt, tried himself at R. I-I. S. for he is graduating with twenty- two and one-half units. He is a forceful debater and has upheld the honor of our school in the State Literary Contest with great abili- ty. I-le does not let the fair sex interfere with his work, although he breaks out once in a while and generally'keeps a good supply of perfumed handkerchiefs. Although Warren had not entered Athletics before, he made the position of pivot-man on the basket-ball squad this season. Warren has not decided definitely where he will com- plete his education, but if he continues with his present enthusiasm he will surely achieve greatness. Pres. L. Si. 'l7: A. A.: B. C.g' Bt. B.

La Senorila Cecil is very proficient in Spanish, and can really con- verse with any one who can speak Spanish if ' she gets a good start. In French class nhlladexnoiselle Cecil is good-often she translates long and tedious sentences and gets ten as a reward for her trouble. Cecil says she is considered as having a very melancholy disposition, but we haven't discovered this yet-for she is always ready to tall: and has been known to talk forty minutes at a time on special oc- casions. Cecil is not at all fascinated with the Senior Class supply of the other sex -not knowing. however-but, we suppose- Theres a reason. We hope Cecil will be successful as a teacher after R. H. S. A.

1917 ftcotns of Roano ELEANORA LESCURE Far may we search before we find A hear! so gentle and so kind. Eleanora is one of the smallest girls in our class, but her diminutive size has no influence upon her intellect. Ever gentle and kind, she is a cheerful worker, ever ready to assist others who are in trouble. Especially do we remember her willingness to translate Die Ahn Frau for certain of her fellow classmates in German. Upon first acquaintance Elcanora is rather quiet, but gradually her good nature and cheerfulness make for her a strong place in the hearts of her friends. G. C. ROBERT COURTNEY MOTTLEY Wl1al great ones do, the less will pralllc of. Mot is certainly one of the'great ones of our Class. For instance, he is the honored President of the Boys' Club. As a basket-ball player he has proved a star. Even at Lynchburg we found out he was known and loved. He won't tell her name, but as soon as he gets to the Hill City it's good-bye Mot for several hours. Of course, the girls of R. H. S. were not slow in recognizing his good qualities, but all in vain. Faithfulness is'one of his characteristics. When he finishes Summer School he will leave behind him a record of which he may be proud. Bt. B. 'I6-'I7g L. 5.9 A. A.: Pres. B. C. 'I6-'I7g Pt. of H. 5. CAROLYN OLIVIA MEADOWS' An open counlenancc, but close lfiougfzlsf' Carolyn Olivia, sometimes called Granny, but better known as Callie, is one of the few students of our Class. She once re- ceived special mention from Miss Critz, having made 92 on her English exam. Nevertheless Carolyn has always found -time for athletics. just what the Crirls' Basket-Ball Team would have done this season without such an eflicient member is hard to imagine. That the I9I7 team has made the best record in the annals of R. H. S., has been partly due to the fact that Callie was none other than Captain of the team. Callie's weak point in school was Botany, but she always got along splendidly in Zoology and her hobby was collecting NATCSD. She was always very fortunate in that she never had to go to the fields to lind these insects, but easily found them on the street. M. W. l... S.: Bt. B. 'l5-'lflg Capt. 'I7g Sec. G. C.: A. A.
