IJEIIS uf Roanoke 1919 AILEE ANN MASON Those about her From her shall read the perfect ways of honor. Aileel Who is she? Oh, yes, I remember herg she is that pretty little brown-haired girl who came to Roanoke High about three years ago. From where? Oh, yes, Rocky Mount. That is the way most of us know Ailee. But when one really knows her one discovers many admirable qualities hidden from the public eye. She is generous kind and a true friend to every one. In fact she is one of the gentlest and most popular girls of our class. Ailee is planning a business future, indeed she has already begun and with her straightforward character we predict an unusually bright future. She has the best wishes of the Class of 'I9 in the completion of her plans. R. C.: A. A. FANNIE PEARL MATTOX Ah, why should life all lahour lm? Pearl is one who expects to leave the old Roanoke High this year having finished the coure in three and at half years. We are sure she will be missed very much for there is always a smile for every one, except when the little fire spot has been touched by some one and then-woe unto them. Pearl never believes in missing a good time to worry over books. Her first remark when she enters the room is Tell me something, I don't know a thing, but by some way, we have never been able to find out, the goal is reached. Dur- ing the time she has been with us we have all learned to love her and many friends wish her much success in her future years. M. W. L. 5.3 C. C.: A. A.: R. C. GLADYS AGNES MARSHALL. Gentle and true, simple and lfincl was she, Noble of mien with gracious speech lo all. Gladys is ever gentle and kind. Although at times quiet and reserved she is always ready for her share of fun, especially in study hall. There is one thing Gladys above all loves to do-act the fool in Shakespeare Class. Gladys is such a girl whom one would appreciate and cherish as a sincere friend. If she possesses a fault she has left us in doubt. We cannot find one. Feeling sure of her success in whatever she undertakes we Wish her much at Normal and,a happy useful life ever after. R. C.g M. W. L. 5.5 A. A.

1919 55071115 nf .IKUH11 DRB TI-IELMA LOUISE MARTIN She is little, she is shy, But there is mischief in her eyes-she's a flirt. Thelma came to us in September, l9lS, and we owe our appreciation of her previous work to Mount Airy High. She has endeared herself to the hearts of her classmates and her smiling face has been a source of joy to many of the underclassmen. She is known by many names but 'Billie ' robabl most familiar to her Thelma's is p y . popularity has followed her to Roanoke High and every one who claims her friendship has a jewel. She is a comfort and joy to all who come in touch with her and we know she will be successful in whatever vocation she chooses. At present her choice is vocal, and she carries with her the best wishes of the Class of 'l9. M. W. L. S.g R. C.g A. A. JOHN MARSHALL REID I am very fond af the company of ladies, In fact I am a 'ladies' man. ' John Marshall, more familiarly known lo us as Bus, for the last few months has been some guy with the ladies. A dance twice a week and the movies in the meantime help out the cause. But somehow he hnds time enough for studies to furnish old H. S. a most creditable scholar, even though given to making uncomplimentary remarks on English poetry. Bus has almost decided upon his future vocation by which to support the one of whom he dreams, by becoming an electrical engineer with the B. S., E.. E. degrees attached to his cognomen. The field is large and presents the best of inducements, so we wish him great success in all the exploits into which he may venture. M. C.g A. A.: l... 5.3 R. C.g Art Editor ACORNS '19, VICTORIA SARA CECELIA MARTIN A sweet attractive kind of grace, A full assurance given by looifs, Conlinual comfort in a face. The lineamcnts of Cospcl books. for every one and Victoria is one of those who has a pleasant smile a sweet disposition that has held our love and friendship through four years of high school. She is contemplating going off to school: as to where we do not know for Vic seems extremely interested in a soldier boy in France, but her main topic of conversation is always Brother Fred. ' Any way we know she will succeed in whatever she attempts and we predict for her a successful future. The Senior Class extends to her most hearty wishes and Godspeed. A. YA.: R. CJ M. W. L. Si.

1919 Qtcurns nf Buena CLAUDINE FAY MAYI-IEVV Does .slie crave a good limc 'n everything? I say she Joes. Dean isn't what Miss Board would call hilarious, but she can always appreciate a good joke and no matter where it is told a peal of laughter bursts forth. She is especially interested in French since she got such a good start. Guess this will be her specialty off at school in later years f? U. Dean is of a very sympathetic nature, which is called to our attention in Civics Class daily when that pathetic voice cries out, M-i-s-t-e-r, Layman! Although her wisdom teeth have all been extracted she is still able to hold on to five subjects and conceals her ignorance to a good advantage. All who know Dean love her as she is a good-natured pal and whatever course she pursues she has the best wishes of the 'I9 Class. A. A.: G. C.: R. C. MARY ELIZABETH MASON Far may we seek before nie find A heart so gentle and sa kind. This verse is certainly typical of Mary because she is one of the sweetest and sincerest members of our class. This little dark-haired miss might be called quiet for she certainly believes in the old adage that silence is an excellent thing in woman because she isn't etemally chattering like most of her sex, but we know that when Mary opens her mouth to speak that she is going to say something worth hearing. We do not know what lVlary's future life may be but the sincerest wishes of the 'I9 Class go with her. A. A.g R. C.g M. W. L. S.g G. C. IOSEPHINE KATHRINE MINTER Coed at a fight but better at a play. Joe is very independent and a great believer in Womans Rights. At class meetings she usually takes the lloor hrst, impulsive and fear- less to speak her mind. Her opinions are expressed in such a witty and original way that no one becomes offended at her barbed thrusts even though she usually comes out of these word battles wearing the laurel of the victor. joe is always ready for a good time, bubbling over with fun and the joy of living and is the life of every crowd. Her merry laugh and happy face have won many friends, who will always hold her dear on their golden chain of Memory. Although Much knowledge is wearisome to the flesh, fun-loving Joe has not been content to be a laggard in her studies but by 'iworking when she works and playing when she plays, she has won for herself an enviable record. joe hasn't decided upon her vocation after leaving school, but in whatever you undertake, little pal of 'l9, our best wish is that your pathway in life may be as bright and full of success as has been your stay in old Roanoke Hi.
