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

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-., -

U rns uf Roanoke, 1919 AURELIA THERESA DEDAKER She is good as she is fair, ' None-none on earlh above her. Aurelia, by her willingness to help her classmates o'er the stormy seas of education, has won for herself many friends and admirers. She is a very conscientious worker and stands well in all of her classes, especially in Shakespeare. Her chief occupation is telling jokes in the study hall where laughing and talking are positively forbidden. While we all knew her to be a great musical genius, still we did not know of her vocal ability until she surprised the class by giving them a selection from King Lear. Aurelia will not say what she expects to do after her schooldays are over but we fear B. T. will decide for her. Whatever her calling may be we are sure she will succeed and we wish her much happiness. A. A.g R. C. LEWIS ARTHUR HESTER Born with success he seemed Wilh grace lo win, nvilh hcarl to hold. One can only look upon the bright side of life when near Lewis, as he is one of the jolliest and best natured fellows in our class. Lewis is an ardent admirer of athletics in all of its forms and is very popular among all members of the Senior Class, especially the girls. Although he is exceptionally studious, he is not so serious that he neglects fun, for wherever there is any fun or mischief going on Lewis is sure to be there. He has left an excellent record in the annals of old R. H. S. and we honestly believe that he has thoroughly enjoyed his high school life. Lewis seems extremely interested in electrical things, and it is in the held of electrical engineering that he expects to invest his life and we predict that with his grit, perseverance and determina- tion success awaits him in his chosen profession. A. A.g R. C., M. C., J. L. Sq s. c. FRANCES LUCILE. GARRETT She is a mirror of fashion. Here's to 'Cile the charmer, vamp and pal of R. H. S. Though this fair damsel has been with us only two short years, yet she is considered a. friend by all who know her. 'Cile is an incessant giggler in limes of play but when she studies, she is as serious as a judge. For this reason 'Cile shines in all her classes. In acting Shakespeareg 'Cile-Oh woe! let's don't think about it. Her forte is music but a close second is dancing. 'Cile expects to enter some northern school next year to study music and some day will rival Paderewski. If success follows her in her musical career as it has at R. H. S. then her future is bright 'indeed and as she follows this course the heartiest wishes of 'I9 go with her. 'Cile. we wish for you what you most want. R. C.g G. C.g A. A.3 S. C.g Class Historian.
