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.

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.

013115 Df IB.UH11Ult2 1919 LAURA LEANDER HARDY Her air, her manner, all who san: admired, Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired. To lcnow her is to love her and so Laura has a large circle of friends both in and out of R. H. S. She is a true friend to every one. What more beautiful could be said? For a friend is the most valu- able thing in the world. Laura is always ready for a good time and lots of fun, and when a dance or social is given she is right there. Patience is also one of l..aura's virtues or how could she sit and type- write and do ollice practice as she does when she knows she will not use it? Yes, certainly it's the Service Whatever she may under- take, however, we wish her success-and happiness. A. A.: R. C.: Clerical Manager ACORNS 'l9. CARROL BERNARD NEBLETTE Strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and nal to yield. Carrol is one of the literary geniuses of our class. Guided by his master mind and his large share of intellect he has climbed high into the Realms of Learning. He is full of buoyant enthusiasm and like Browning possesses courage and will power and is one who never turns his baclc, but marches breast forward. On account of his executive ability and literary qualities he has held many places of honor in R. H. S. Carrol's favorite subjects are History and Litera- ture but he masters all of them, and is tinishing high school in three and a half years. Carrol is full of ambitions and aspirations, and guided by the Muses of Art we predict for him a brilliant career, full of honor and glory and a high place in the hearts of all. V. P.

MARGARET WALLACE JETT Har step is light, Her eyes are bright, Her laughter cheers the world. l-lereis to Margaret!-One of the most attractive members of our class. We all love her and how can we help it-for few have the sweet disposition and attractive personality that she has. Margaret is very unsellish and is always ready and willing to help others. She is popular not only in school but in the outside world as well. Out of school Margaret spends a great deal of her time flying around in a big Cadillac. Peggy has many talents but her chief one is playing the piano. She expects to enter Peabody Conservatory and continue the study of music and we're sure that she will become a great genius some day.
