013115 Elf .iKlJHI'lUli2 1919 GRACE EMMA I-IENTY She hath a tear for pity and a hand . Open as :lay for meeting charity. Grace is loved by all but she is a funny old girl. When we will, she won't and when we won't she will. But in spite of this only fault we can find, we know her to be kind, thoughtful and sympathetic. We enjoy her mischievousness as ,much as she does. She sure can slip one over on the teachers and can even eat peanuts in Miss Beebee's period. When lVliss Jennings comes into the S. I-I. taking names she finds Grace with her head buried in her Bible appearing very studious and Miss Jennings passes by on the other side. Xve will lose a true friend when Grace starts her long-desired purpose of school teaching. She has been a great help to us and we will never forget her. Whatever vocation she pursues her friends wish her great success for we feel confident that she will be a benefit and inspiration to all with whom she comes in contact as she goes down the Long, Long Trail of Life. A. A.g R. C. WILLIAM ELIIAI-I MCCLANAI-IAN With manners gentle, of afeclions mild, In mil a man, simplicity a child. Elijah, as his name intimates, looks as though he were quite a Biblical sort of guy, but that is where the eye deceives for he is certainly the opposite though not so much as his petite brother. Elijah, though no one knows it, has quite a crush on a certain young lady in our Class. I-Ie is quite stubborn and one of our most illustrious teachers has said that she would like to take him across her knee and spank some of it out of him. Elijah is one of the most quiet members of our Class and up until the last year he has been thoroughly competent in his studies, but ilu or love has demoralizecl him to a certain extent and he has decided to leave us and go to Episcopal High which disappoints us very much as we thought from 'his style that he would eventually land at Virginia. A. A.g Mgr. T. T4 Al. Editor ACORNS 'l9g R. C., Pts. of H. 5. ELIZABETH HARDIN HILL l Unll1inlfing, idle, milcl and young, I laughed and danccrl and tallied anzl sung. E.lizabeth's molto vis Never do to-day what you can put off till to-morrow. We don't know when shestudies because she always has time for mischief, still she is one of the few who never had to take an exam. She is always late but as all the teachers know that she just couldn't get here on time, they cIon't even question her. Her favorite nickname is Betty, though almost every one calls her Liz or Lu. If you see a dark-haired, talkative little piece of humanity racing up Senior row chewing gum you may know it is Lu. She is a star in English and Math and also in music. We all join in wishing her success in her musical career at Peabody. A. A.: R. C.: Ci. C., Joke Editor ACORNS 'I9g Si. C.

1919 V Status of Iliuanu OTEY BROOKE HELM hfusl a tiny lillle maiden with soft and silky hair, With sweet, old-fashioned, winning, girlish ways: And a heart full of yearning, and a mind brim full of learning. How we envy Otey's accurate mind! While we wander around hunting for an answer to a question she ups and hits the nail square on the head. And, too, she has helped a number of us over stumbling blocks, especially in Latin and Math. Otey's ambition is to have several degrees placed after her name, and she'll keep at a thing 'lil it's done fas well as keep you at it too if you work with herl. Cou- pling these facts together we find the secretg why her report card hardly knows a grade below ninety! Otey expects to go to Farmville next winter and has planned to become a teacher, but she says she hopes not for the rest of her life. By this we gather that she expects to follow another Profession, but she didn't tell us what. Possibly a student at William and Mary can enlighten us or will it be the Sailor Boy? M. W. l... S.: A. A.3 G. C.: R. C. CARY ANNAS MOOMAW, IR. Not for self but for Country. This is true of Cary for he left R. H. S. and volunteered in Uncle Sam's great army to see the sights in Berlin. It is rumored that Bill Hohenzollern heard of Cary's move and within two months had signed The Papers putting an end to the war and one of our hero's ambitions. Returning to school, he was received with a royal welcome for the young soldier is held in high esteem by all. The ladies having seen Cary perform on the Athletic held, and knowing a few of his numerous good qualities fand his one weakness, come to school with greater regularity fsince his return, with more than lessons on their minds and blushes on their cheeks. Cary has shown great ability as an office-holder and a student. He can never be forgotten by us and we are sure that when he finishes W. and l... he will accomplish wonderful things in the business world. Luck to you, old pal of 'l9. B. B. 'I7-I8-I9g A. A.g V. P.

Margaret is one of the most conscientious and studious girls in the class. She has won the admiration of both the Faculty and the student body. She ranks high in all her classes, especially Latin and no one can say that the high grades which always appear on her report are not deserved. She is always willing to help others. Margaret, won't you. help me read this Virgil? lsn't that familiar? By this willingness to help others, and by her sunny disposition Margaret has won many friends at R. H. S. who join in wishing her success in whatever she undertakes. R. C.: A. A.

1919 Qtnzntns uf 130811 uke CAROLINE HAMPTON I-IOC-E Alaclf, there lies more peril in her eye Than twenty of their swords. In the depth of Caroline's beautiful brown eyes we find a smile that like sunshine is shed on all with whom she meets and warms our heart with love for her. Her sunny disposition as well as her fond- ness for tripping the light fantastic toe have won for her many admirers. Caroline is certainly a wonderful dancer and is seen at all of the big affairs. She is noted for coming in late most every morning and saying, Oh, l'm a wreck, don't know a thing. Caroline is very sympathetic and always ready to lend a helping hand. She has not said what she intends to do after leaving R. H. S. but we all know that her personality and general good qualities will always insure her true friends and success. A. A.g G. C.g R. C. HARRY ENOCH NASH Sincere, true in heart and inzlepenclcnlf' Uncle Sam, needing his services no longer, turned him back to R. H. S. from the'S. A. T. C. at Hampden-Sidney where he proved himself an excellent soldier. welcomed back by Miss Beebee and her fcivics class, f???J he has gotten through only by diligent study. f??J Harry is famed about our halls for his musical inclinations and witty remarks. It is rumored that some clay he expects to rival Caruso, He is constantly breaking up 'lVlac's class by his outbursts of wit or with That's me all over, Mabel. Harry is a far off worshiper of the fair sex, having never fallen to the snare but the May bells flVlabelJ will ring for him yet if he is not careful. The Class of 'l9 joins in wishing him much success in whatever he under- takes even if some flVlundyJ he does fall for the fair sex. A. A.: R. Cfg Pres. Junior Class 'I8g QC. CJ f? U5 S. C.: Pts. of H. 5. CLARINDA ADALINE. HOLCOIVIB Infinite riches in a little room. Clarinda is one of the youngest girls in our class. Although she does not believe in burning the midnight oil, she always gets through some way. She is ever ready to help a friend in distress. Her hobby in school life is Chemistry, and she enters the class with a sigh of relief for her worries and fears are over. Clarinda is a good sport and is generally seen at the games where she is a good rooter. She expects to enter Harrisonburg next fall, where she will prepare herself for a teacher. Here's the best wishes of the Class of 'I9 to her in whatever she undertakes. A. A.g R. C.g G. C.g M. W. l... S.
