1917 Qtnorns of Roanoke -45 EDITH HOLMES ROWLAND The secret of success is conslancy lo purpose. Edith-what fond and pleasant memories does this name recall! She is all that her name implies-gentle, sweet and lovable. Although few of us are well acquainted with her, still those that know her have found out that she has an accommodating disposition and much per- severance. From the time Edith entered Roanoke High she has proven herself a conscientious worker and sincere friend. Edith is undecided as to what college she will attend after leaving Roanoke High: however, we hope that some day she will rival Paderewski in music. G. C. PHILIP THOMPSON POWELL Faulllcss in body and blameless in mind. The first is vouched for by his record in basket-ball and on the track team. Though as to the second part, Philip has been seen- whisper it softly-under suspicious circumstances on certain bright Sunday afternoons. But, withal, Phil has an upper story of goodly dimensions: starring in math an.d being a prominent aspirant for scholar- ship honors. After finishing a successful course at R. H. S. he intends to take his AQB. degree at Transylvania University, Lexing- ton, Kentuclcy, and then to follow the devious paths of Blackstone at the Law College of the University of Virginia. The Class of 'I7 join in wishing him success in his chosen profession, which he will surely attain if his past record remains unbroken. B. C.: T. T. '16-'I7g Bt. B. 'I6-'I7g V. P. L. S. 'I7g Sec. A.

ELIZABETH HULL SANDERS Buxom, blilhc and delmnairf' Elizabeth once expressed her intention of becoming a Vampire or a Ballet Dancer. She has unlimited energy in the art of primping, as she gets much practice between periods in the cloakroom. She is also an energetic student, as she is one of the few to finish in three years and a half. She keeps on the good side of Miss Critz by keep- ing a neat and accurate Shakespeare notebook. We hope she will captivate the hearts of the public as completely as she has won the admiration and respect of her schoolmates.

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.

urns nf Roanoke 1917 EDYTHE HEADEN SCOTT My lmolf and heart shall never part. Eclythe is neat, sweet, young and fair. I-ler reasons are both good and weighty. She has love and judgment and generally sees more than others. She is gentle and ladylike, but full of fun when you are personally acquainted with her. She is ambitious and dares not smile at the opposite sex, but malces a hundred yard dash rushing Roy. She is not only hnishing the High School course in three and a half years, but is also the youngest in her class. Edythe is going to Randolph-Macon and we all hope she will be as successful there as she has been al Roanoke I-ligh. M. W. L. S.
