UEH5 uf .IKDHUDRB 1919 SALLIE PHIPPS BARKSDALE Frank and independent: lllat's me all over. - Sallie, one of our most original and attractive girls, by her contagious laugh has won a host of friends both in school and out. Barlcsdale, as we all know, craves a good time 'n everything and is often seen jazzing down the halls even cleigning to pass the traffic cop at the foot of the steps. When questioned as to her hilarity she timidly replies- Ooo, merci, mel As captain of the Basket-Ball team she has gone through with flying colors. just brimming over with school spirit she always does her share when it comes to rooting for R. H. S. Sallie's hands are always chap feclj but it is an ill wind that blows nobody Good fwinj. This bashful f?J, blushing Sallie is rarely ever seen alone, but more often with Dean and Vir- ginia. Miss' Board declares she can hear the laughter of these three pealing forth continually. So here is to Barlcsdale as she pursues knowledge down the Hall of Fame. A. A.: R. C.g G. C., Capt. G. Bt.

All hail to our Basket-Ball Manager of 'l9. Louis, though quiet, reserved and appearing to be afraid of the girls, is one of the biggest jolcers in our Class. He has made a success as Basket-Ball Nlanager, just as everything else he attempts. He does not believe in over- exerting himself so he takes few subjects and does them well. We can say one thing very lmusual for Louisg that is, as yet we have witnessed no effects of maiden bewitchings on his life. At present he has set out to be a professional loafer and we know whatever he attempts he will do well. Mgr. Bt. B., 'l9g A. A., R. C4 Pt. of H. 5. PAULINE STEPI-IENSON BARTLETT Hcre's lo lier lieallli, a maiden fair, Willi deep blue eyes, and dark brown hair. This fair maid of Wasena is one of the prettiest girls of '19 Class, although we don't have to pay two dollars clown and two dollars a week. Pauline is one of those persons who possesses that unfathomed charm that has the power of a magnet. Those blue eyes will be the cause of somebody's Waterloo. When it comes to studies Pauline is there, although she doesn't look like a scholar. Studies are quite over-shadowed by her love for pleasure. After this year the good old name of R. H. S. will be H. S., but the suggestion of R. H. S. will bring to the minds of the Class of 'I9 the name of Pauline. She has not decided where she will attend school after leaving R. H. S. We all wish her a brilliant success. M. W. l... S.: R.lC.: A. A. t

Julian was one of us for the first three years of our history but enlisted in the S. A. T. C., at Roanoke College, at the beginning of his fourth year. He was mustered out of the service at mid-term and again joined us. His sterling qualities and unsurpassable joviality have won for him a host of friends. He is a proficient dancer and courtier: nevertheless, not averse to work. He has his pleasures and enjoys the frivolities of life, but can study if he finds he has to, to pass on an examination. fAsk Miss Carlislej He likes math in all its forms and has taken the entire course offered at High School. He expects to attend V. P. I. next year and we wish him much success and predict that if he tackles the tasks of life as he tackles his studies he will not only reside but will preside in the Hall of Fame. A. A.: L.. S.: R. C. I ADA DORA ARTHUR To know her is to love her, Noble in thought and noble in deed. One must l-:now Ada before they can love her, for her nature is deep, She has made a good record in high school, and among her fellow students. Her favorite study, Eloculion, has been a great success. When some one needs ,a person to recite at any social affair, they always call on Ada and she is ever ready with a willing hand and helpful smile. Ada is very fond of friendly quarrels but some- how she never offends, for those lovely eyes heal fast. She thinks twice before speaking, but when her mind is once made up for the right, it very seldom can be changed. Her greatest trouble is keep- ing up with her books. When you see some one with dark hair and large, dreamy blue eyes wandering around over the study hall, clon't forget Ada has lost her books. She expects to enter West Hampton College next year, and the Class wishes that she reap a harvest great from years in duty spent. M. W. I... S.: A. A.: R. C.: Treas. M. W. L. S. 'l9: Pres.

1919 AHIZUYUS of JKUEIIIUKZ 23 IVIABLE ELSIE BERGENDAHL Her air, her manner, all who san: admired. Elsie is quite a genius for she is just naturally smart and always knows her lessons. This is proven by the fact that she has completed her high school course in three and one-half years. With her sunny smile, blue eyes and light hair, she is a very pretty and attractive girl. She has a lovable disposition that has made her extremely popular with all of her classmates. Dot seems not to give a hang about the boys, yet whenever Company D is mentioned you should see her start-wonder why? ? H. S. is losing an attrac- tive girl when Elsie leaves for she is always brimming over with pep and enthusiasm in all the channels of high school life. A. A.: R. C.g G. C. JOHN DABNEY CARR He trudgect along, untfnonaing what he sought, Amt Ivtiistlert as he 'went for lactf of thought. This is johnny all over, for he seems to laugh his way through school, but the remarkable thing is that he does it well. John is the smallest, jolliest and most generous boy in our Class. He always has an abundant supply of chewing gum especially in Chemistry Class! ! l And if any one mentions eats around Johnny, cakes come forth as if by magic. Although he does not take an active part in athletics he is always on hand to root, and this goes a long way towards winning the game. Despite johnny's love for fun, in mathe- matics his equal can hardly be found, and he is now diligently pursuing his Fifth year of the subject, preparatory to becoming a dis- tinguished chemical engineer. We, the Class of 'l9, wish him all the success in the world in his profession. L. Sig A. A.g R. C.g Sub. Mgr. ACORNS, 't9g M. C. VIRGINIA BOULDIN Shez sostiubble ez a lzastfel er kittens. . Although good-natured she has her own opinions and is not afraid to stand by them. She is a friend to every one she meets here as well as elsewhere. Every morning as she calmly walks down Senior aisle, fifteen minutes after roll call, Mr. McDonald says, Miss Bouldin, you're late. She makes the same remark to pupils and Faculty as well, I am you know and I mean to tell you so. Virginia evi- dently likes French and is very often seen chatting with Professor Viaud. Not only does she excel in French, but as an essayist she lays Macaulay in the shade for they say she has literary ability. Off at school she intends to take English, French and Domestic Science and if then her burdens are too heavy, she will drop all but French fn! Here's hoping she won't be swamped with work! t l R.
