1917 915013115 of 1305110 MARIE ANNA NOLTE Away :lull care, thou are my undoing. Marie is the very emblem of dignity, but she often forgets herself in her frantic efforts to make forty perfect pages in a single week. Like the majority of students Marie likes to loaf and you can often find her sitting in the window of the Commercial Department taking life easy. Hun very emphatically says she is going to work when she finishes school, but she never gives us any hint as to what this work will beg it is logical to think it will lie in the course of Domestic Science. May her sunny disposition go with her and make her life as joyous and carefree as it has been at R. H. Si. MAL BENJAMIN PAYNE 'Bravc men care little fur the worlds applause. Although Mal cares little for the world's applause the laudation of the fairer sex sometimes stirs his noble heart to higher and greater ambitions. Mal, at present, is preparing himself to enter West Point and if he accredits himself half as well there as he does at Roanoke he will go General Lee one better. Mal is one of the intellectual' leaders of our Class, gaining many plaudits from Nliss Critz for his marvelous interpretation of Shakespeare's plays. lVlal's most salient characteristic-stickto-itiveness, is typified in his steady plodding on the track squad. He says he does track work to improve his grace. ln farewell, the Senior Class wishes Mal a brilliant success as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army. T. T.: L. S'.g A. A.: B. C. KATHLEEN MAYE PAINTER Fen: things are impossible to diligence and skill. That means Kathleen, for she is one of the most accomplished mem- bers of our Class. She has written lots of songs' and toasts for the Girls' Club and other organizations and she can play any old tune that ever happened on the piano. As one of Miss Critz's star actresses she gets fine grades, and she also has the distinction of graduating ahead of the class she started High School with. No one has ever seen her in a bad humor, and she's an all-round, good old sport. M. W. L. S., A. A.g G. C.

Etna B115 nf BDHHDRZ 1917 MARIAN As JANE MOOMAW lruc as I live. If you should see a small, dreamily over Study Hall you may be sure it is Mena. Her small- ness -of stature does not keep her from saying what she thinks. And she is stubborn, for if she doesn't wish to clo a certain thing it is useless to try to persuade her. Marian is a worker, as is shown by her enthusiasm in.baslcet-ball. She played forward for us this year and by the victories won we can be assured she did her part well. She has been a good student these four years, though she never burned midnight oil by studying. By her sunny disposition and .willingness to help other she has been elected the most popular girl in the l9'l7 Class. M. W. l... S. 'I6-'l7g Pres. M. W. L. S. If6i-IV? P. Class 'l6g 2d. V. P. A.

Massey is a boy with moral qualities unsurpassable, a prodigious worker, with a firm, press-forward spirit. When examination time comes on Massey is heard to say, I see my finish, but when they are over he is still alongside of you hard at study as ever. Massey is noted for his good attention in Chemistry Class and one day sur- prised the class in an oration on chlorin. He has the stick-to-itive-ness quality which is sure of success, and in his upward progress Massey has our hearty wishes. A. A4 B. C. MAMIE DUNN MOSHER Though morlcsl and shy, she has a llvinlglc in her eye, And a smile ihal 1von'i come of. l'lere's Mamie, our small and dignified, but pleasant classmate. She's full of fun and joviality, although she is a little reserved. She hasbecome noted for her original and unappreciated French transla- tions, but English is her nbugbearf' for it takes Miss Critz to rattle her. Duncy has a good deal of school spirit, but the gray and maroon really have first place in her heart, she being a staunch rooter for Roanoke College. 'Tis said a certain young fellow spends all his money riding the street cars from Salem to Roanoke, and all his time dancing with his special on Fifteenth Avenue, for Mamie is quite a dancer and very fond of this pleasant amusement. Never- theless she is, as her favorite expression terms it, a good un, an all-round, true, modern girl, and we predict for her a bright and prosperous future, either as a teacher or housekeeper. Un bon voyage, notre ami. A. A4 G. C.

HKU III5 uf IKIJHIIUIKB 1917 FRANCES LOUISE QUARLES Whal's mine is yours and 'mhal's yours in mine. This is certadnly true of Frances. 'She never hesitates in giving you anything, and thinks that everything you possess is undoubtedly half hers, in other words, her motto is '50-50. Her friends call her 'lWillie, though how she received the name we know not. Willie is popular with the boys as well as with the girls, which is a rare combination, and her popularity not only extends within the city limits, but far beyond. Willie is among the many bluffers of the Senior Class, though we must admit when studious, she is unusually bright. Frances has made many friends in the Senior Class and we are glad to have her among the 'I7 members. A. A.g M. W. L. S. RAYMOND HOPE PHLEGAR - A pound of pluck is nzarllz a lon of luck. Raymond Hope Phlegar, known in the laboratory as Soda-water Phlegar, is very studious and had the audacity, during his last session, to carry two Math Classes and two English Classes. Ray came from Radford, near the bonny banks of the River New. Under the skillful instruction of Miss Critz, during his career here, Ray has im- proved marvelously in his verbal felicity, especially in explaining passages in English poetry. He is the quintessence of a philosopher, but very modest in his tone of voice. His hobby is to look up words to please Miss Critz and to suddenly startle his bearers by wonderful exclamations of wisdom and sage philosophy. Ray has our best wishes for a bright and successful future. A. A.g'B. Cf FRANCES ANN REPASS 1 lell lhee love is nalurc's second sun, Causing a spring of virtues where he shines. One of the few criticisms we have to make of Pat is that she didn't have quite as much school spirit as she might have. But this was not always her fault and we have to excuse her-because it lends no little distinction to our Class to read an account of the V. M. l. dances and see-Miss Frances Repass, Roanoke-with Cadet C Notwithstanding the fact that Frances frequently attended some social function, she always managed to keep up with her classes and each month she had a passing report. We've never seen one of Pats baby pictures, but if the old saying is true, she surely must have been an ugly little child. She intends to take up teaching as a profession, but We are willing to bet that if S. W. P. has anything Io do with it, her profession will not last more than a year. S. C.g G. C.
