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.

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

1919 Qtcutns uf Buanu MARTHA MAE GOGGIN A mind al peace with all below A hear! whose love is innocent. Although being at R. H. Sfonly two years Mae has won many friends through her sweet disposition, her quiet unassuming manner and her natural dignity. She is always ready for whatever turns up and if it were not for her procrastination regarding English note-books one would hardly be able to find a Haw in her nature. Her self- confidence ever asserts itself and will be valuable to her throughout her life. She has not yet decided upon her life work but the best wishes of the Class of 'l9 follow her in whatever course she pursues. A. A.: R. C. EDGAR PEDIGO HOWARD lt is safer lo hear and lalfe counsel than io give il. The big chief or Mummy, as he is commonly known about our halls is supposed to be descended from the original American, The Red.Man. He justly does them credit through his athletic records, and he has been the mainstay of the Football team for the past two years. As a Shakespearean critic Mummy ranks along with De Quincey and Lamb and is second to none in his numerous love affairs. fllhis is not generally known as he has been unusually suc- cessful in fooling most of the ladies., Edgar is also very warlike and upon the organization of the Home Guard he immediately joined them. fWe still believe that there was a girl in the case., His exploits in chemistry Lab are exceedingly brilliant as he usually sets everything on fire around him. Edgar is undecided as to what his life's work will be, but the 'l9 Class wish him all the success possible. R. C.: A.'A.g F. B. 'I6-l7-IBQ B. B. '18-l9g Capt. F. B. 'I8g V. P. A. A. 'l8-l9g M. C.3 Assistant Mgr. ACORNS 'l9g Pt. of H. I. MARGARET C-RAVES The fairest garden in her looks And in her mincl the wisest hooks. Although very modest and quiet one couldn't call Margaret shy be- cause she laughs and has her fun along with the rest of us. But her lessons are never neglected and in the three and a half years that she has trod the halls of R. H. S. she has made an excellent record for herself, especially in Latin. Margaret is one of the sweetest girls of the 'I9 Class and her only fault, if it be a fault, is that she will hold to her own opinion though a whole wo.rld's against her. She has plenty of school spirit, too, and is always seen at the games rooting for the team. One wonders why Margaret is so fond of South Carolina until you see the letters that arrive bearing that post mark. The best wishes of her host of friends go with her in her quest for higher knowledge at Wilson College, where she and Kath- ryn expect to enter next year. A. A.g R. C.: C. C.g M. NV. L. S.
