013115 Elf IKUHUDKB 1919 MARY CHRISTINE DOLD A rose of beauty we have here, Reflecting lrlushes ever dear, Enclosing virtue, grace and cheer. These words are indeed very befitting in Mary's case. It would be impossible to find fewer words which would express our impression of lVlary as we have seen her in her four years with us. Through her gentle disposition and generous heart she has won a large place in the hearts of her classmatesg nor has the Faculty failed to recog- nize her ability and pleasing manner. Mary has not shown very much enthusiasm in High School Athletics but just wait until V. P. l. appears on the scene and she becomes interested immediately. We do not know whether Mary is contemplating going away to school or not, but in whatever she undertakes the Class of 'I9 wish her the greatest success. R. C.g A. A.g S. C. ALBERT ALLEN HAYES Sweetest melodies Are those that are by distance made more sweet. Albert is very quiet and unassuming. He does not go blustering around but quietly and with dignity. He never has a great deal to say, and this is said with the least possible dispatch. Albert being a reflective kind of person is never very thick with any one, but is a good friend to all who know him. I-le is kind at heart and ever ready to help a friend in need whether it be for a pencil or an entire theme. He is a great lover of poetry, admiring Wordsworth particularly. History, however, is his favorite study and he has made a good record in the history course at R. H. S. Albert intends to enter V. P. l. and take a scientific course after leaving us. I-le has a large future before him and we wish him every success. l... S.5 A. A.: R. C. MARY ANN DOUGLAS A beautiful and happy girl With steps as light as summer air, Eyes glad with smiles and brow of pearl And hair lhal's shadowed by many a careless curl. Mary is a good sport and witty as the day is long. If you hear a queer noise resembling a laugh don't be alarmed. lt's only lVlary's funny little giggle and the good part about that giggle is that it is contagious. Everybody likes Mary, girls and especially boys and we have a suspicion that she is a little partial to the boys, at least a favored few. Mary has some.few worries but least of all-her books. We don't see how she has gotten so far with so little study- ing, and any way here she is a jolly, good Senior. She always has a good time and is sure to find fun and friends wherever she goes. Mary is a very promising young artist, but her other attrac- tions are so great that we fear her career as an artist will not be long. So here's to Sis, the best-looking girl in the class and the best chum in the world. Sec. A. A.g Bt. B., G. C.g W. L. S.g Art Editor ACORNS 'l9g Pts. of H. 3. 'Z-., -

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.

1919 QIIZUIUS of 1308110 ARDIS CATHERINE DUBOIS A maid lo whom her worlg was all in all. Ardis is truly devoted to her work. Whatever her taslc may be she does it diligently and in a matter-of-fact way that justifies admiration. When Ardis can be induced to real laughter it is delightful to hear. Even her performances on the ivory board do not surpass its melody. One thing about Ardis causes us to wonder, that is why she uses the expression nice eyes to describe the beauty of the human eyes. However, in the one year she has spent with us, having come from Staunton High School, we have found her a good friend and we, the Class of 'l9, will not soon forget her friendship at R. H. S. R. C., M. W. L. S. JOHN WILLIAM HAYES, JR. Lal lhe world slide, lel the world go: A Jig for care, and a fig for woe: If I can'l pay why I can owe, Anal death malfcs equal lhe high uncl low. William, better known as Bill, is one of the most optimistic of our members. Always cheerful and bright himself he keeps the entire class in good spirits. His laughs are infectiousg in other words you can't stay with Bill and not be cheerful. Low grades never worry him: when he does get one he talces a good look and then-laughs! Bill seldom does anything so serious as study, but spends his study periods engaged in a social call. Nevertheless, William has made a good record, especially in typewriling, being the first in R. H. S. to receive the Underwood Certificate. He has also been active in athletics, particularly Basket-Ball. We wish him success at V. P. I. where he goes after leaving us. L. S.: A. A.: R. C., Bt. B. 'l9. SYLVIA ALMA DUFFY Her glossy hair was clustered a'er a brow Bright with intelligence, fair and smooth. Here is one of the quiet members of our class. Sib has only been with us a year, but in this time we have learned to love her. Sib's hair is no brighter than her intellect for she does not have to study hard to accomplish a great cleal and come out on top. She has won the esteem of both the Faculty and fellow students and is always willing to help us over our stumbling blocks in Virgil Her love for English is known throughout the class. Although Situ may seem a quiet demure maiden, when one lcnows her well they realize she is witty and she often gives us a lot of amusement by her dry humor and sarcasm. She expects to enter the portals of R.-Nl. W. C. and she carries with her the best wishes of the Class of 'l9. R. C., A. A. A .if
