IJ rns uf Roanoke 1919 THURNA VIVIAN COLEMAN Her very fronans are swecler jar, fhan smiles of other maidens arc. Although Thuma came in late she managed to make up her classes by her diligent study. Her sunny smiles and boisterous laugh were welcomed with joy in the halls of R. H. S. No wonder all who see Thuma bow before her shrine. Her raven locks and charming eyes would kindle fire in a heart of stone and they have played havoc with many of the nobler sex among her classmen. Thurna's heart lies elsewhere and we are undecided whether it is V. M. I. or Rich- mond College. We wish her success in whatever her decision may be. Cu. C.g R. C.: A. A. FLAVIUS' EUGENE DAVIS Of their onan merits modes! men are dumb. Eugene, or Gene as he is called, is one of the best scholars in Roanoke High. Although he lived for a while in Norfolk and attended Maury High it is Roanoke-and Roanoke only-about which he hrags. He is a regular shark in Math and Electricity, and if a teacher cannot work an example she looks for Gene We wish him success at Georgia Tech. next year, where he is planning to take up Electrical Engineering. R. C.g A. A. ELIZABETH JENNINGS COMER 1i's guizi lo be merry and wise, Il'.s guid io be honest and lrue. ' Elizabeth, tall, calm and dignified! How we envy her this poise and control as she serenely meets all the trials of a Senior, for come what may she never loses her temper. Whenever a squabble is begun immediately a yell goes up for ujibbygn for that is a synonym for a square deal. Elizabeth could never be accused of straining her eyes or ruining her health over booksg nevertheless she is an excellent student starring easily in Math. Since entering high school Jibby has taken an active interest in everything which tended to spread the fame of R. H. S., along both literary and athletic lines and especially are we proud of her in Basket-Ball as she made regular team' the Hrst time she went out. After graduating 'tlibbyn will continue her studies at R.-M. W. C., and the best wishes of the Class go with her always, for -Iibhyf' the all-round girl, will never be forgotten by her classmates. A.

1919 55011115 uf IRUHIIIJ KATHERINE FLEMMING COLE Happy am I, from care l'm free, Why arerfl lhey all conlenled lilgc me? Kitty characterizes the Class of 'l9, her motto being ul can't be bothered. We have never seen her worried and she is always ready for fun and meanness. She would go serenely and happily on even if she were going to die the next day, and yet she is the best and most sympatheticperson to whom to tell your troubles. And when it comes to school spirit she's it personified. She has never been known to study but she graduates with the Class of 'l9. 'Nutt said! She is a poet from way back yonder and rhymes just roll oft her pen. lt is said she can compete with the best of them in vamping the innocents. We would think the world off its hinges if Kitty were not laughing or telling something funny. Most people have their enemies but it is safe to say that every one in R. H. S. likes Kitty. Kitty expects to go to Farmville, and we all wish her great success as a hen school teacher. A. A.: R. C.: G. C.: Class Poet: Bt. B. 'IS-t9: S. C. JUNIUS CLAY DAVENPORT, JR. A man of many words, hut of lillle thought. We have now come to Tubby, our most versatile arguer. He loves to dwell on such subjects as Latin as a useless study, iiwhy women should not vote, The pleasures of a working man versus School life, etc. The Senior Class seems to have great faith in his father as a banker, as we elected him our' class treasurer. This he accepted, though reluctantly, as he says that he does not like public offices ?? This time last year Tubby scorned all females: now we never see him with less than two girls at a time. He has also learned to shake a foot which was at one time believed to be impossible. Tubby is, however, one of the most studious members of our Class, and success in all of his studies yvas the result. A naval otlicer is his ideal, but he is going to try a few years at V. M. l. before making his final decision as to his life's occupation. Treas. Class 'l9: M. C.: R. C.: A. A.g Pt. of H. l. A LOUISE FRANCES COLEMAN This slrcel girl is prolly and gay, An ideal girl in every may, The kind of a friend lhal is nal found every day. What of Coleman the star guard of the Basket-Ball team? Well, just ask a certain little forward in Lynchburg whose fame suddenly had an eclipse when Louise arrived cn the scene. But to us she is an .ideal chum with a shy girlish manner. Louise is a great teaser but becomingly blushes when the tables are tumed. Her only worry is the fear of stumping her loe as she advances for her diploma. But we who know her have little fear of this mishap. Her clear intellect combined with determination and a strong will makes it im- possible for her to fail in anything. Louise especially likes to trip a light fantastic toe to the tune of Waltz me Around Again Bill. She has won the blue ribbon on oil paintings and also biscuits. Which road is she going to travel? On either she has the best wishes of her classmates and her chum Mary. A. A.: Cu. Bt. B.: Ath. Editor '19 Acoimsg M. W. L. S.: G. C.

1919 Qtcurns uf 1Knan,n FRANCES ARLINE. CUTSHALL A rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun lflfho rclislies a jolge and rejoiccs in a pun. Enter Arline, our versatile star, our song bird, a charmer of masculine hearts and the hest little chum in the world. Her popularity is not limited but extends to old and young, both boys and girls. Does she believe in a good time? Well, I'll say she does, in fact, she is the ringleader where any fun is going on. However, in spite of her love for fun, she delights in lneing efficient both in school work and housekeeping, for she is even now preparing to take the fatal leap, Arline is the biggest talker in the class and never lacks the right word at the right time. She has not fully decided what college she will attend after leaving high school but with her ability she is sure to succeed and we lcnow that she will be as popular among her future classmates as she has been in the Class of 'l9. l-lere's to you, little chum, may you have un bon voyage on the seas of higher education. M. W. L. S.: R. C.: A. A.: G. C.: Alumni Editor 'l9: S. C.: Treas. M. W. L. S. 't8: Pt. of l-I. l. PAUL KREUGER DUDLEY Patient of toil, serene amidst alarms. This is Paul, a diligent worker in school falso on punctured autos, Shakespeare note-book, etc.D, advancing slow but sure toward his set goal, never forgetting a thing once learned. One knowing him finds he is full of rare wit, humor. skill and grace fespecially in dancing?D, but rarely exposes such talents in the presence of ladies. In fact Paul is impregnable to all the arts and whims of ladies and much prefers the rougher sex? ? ? Paul is full of school spirit and is always seen at the games: even journeying to Lynchburg twice with the teams. Although he has only been with us two years, he has endeared himself very much to the Seniors who all wish him a bon voyage o'er life's stormy sea. Paul does not know what he is going to be, but we think he will eventually be a bachelor. A. A.: R. C.: L. S. ' MARGARET ANNE CARTER ' She Ilia! was ever fair and never proud, Had langue al will and yet was 'never loud. Margaret is very quiet in school, but a true friend. She has a serious, calm 'mood, but those who know her find they have one who participates in all the pleasures and joys of youth. If asked to help some one over the rocky paths of Math and English she replies, Sure, if I know how. She has won many friends, particu- larly among the masculine gender. Asked what she intended to do, Oh, mother says go to college, but Margaret seems to think that there are greater things in this life than going to college. However, the best wishes of the Class of '19 will follow her wherever she goes and in whatever she undertakes. M. W. L. S.: G. C.: A. A.: R. C.
