This is Dotty exactly, not only bubbling with fun but full of enthusiasm and Pep which she never fails to exhibit at the I-Iigh School games. Wherever she goes her musical laugh is contagious. Her disposition and willy manner cannot be expressed in words but all those who know her count her friendship dear. When Dotty comes rushing in with, I have an idea, prepare, for some fun is brewing.

ESTELLE STANLEY Thai though on pleasure she was ben! She had a frugal mind. Estelle is one of the best all-round girls in our class. She is a good student, splendid worker and greatest gigglerf' Daily we hear that characteristic laughter echoing up the Senior Row. Nobody looks around. Everybody says, Here comes Estelle. Estelle is popular with everybody in our class, but especially with one. Oh, George, now stop! lsn't that familiar? Those who know Estelle at home can say that she is not only studious but very industrious. Without doubt this little embodiment of energy could begin fsiatur- day morningj with a home neglected since the days of Chivalry, and by evening it would be one Ht in which to entertain King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Estelle's knight didn't live in England in the sixth century he lives just around the comer in the twentieth century. Best luck to him and his lady. The lady is a prize, may the knight prove worthyl M. W. L. S.: A. A.g R. C.: C. C.g Clerical Manager 'I9 ACGRNS. DOROTHY LOUISE TERRILL Charms strike ll1e eye But merit 'wins llie soul. Dorothy is a dainty little miss-a peculiar combination of quaint, old-fashioned modesty and modern coquettishnessg of studiousness and frivolity. Her nickname, l..emma.n, fold English for sweet- heartnl is appropriate only in its translated meaning. Dot's a true sport and whenever any fun is going on you're sure to find her there. We have never caught her in the act of flirting, but we have vague suspicions! l l In her make-up there is that something that makes Dorothy a leader in whatever she undertakes-be it serious or frivo- lous-for she worlcs when she worlcs and plays when she plays. Although she has many admirers she is an excellent blufler and keeps us all guessing as to where her heart lies. A. A.: M. W. L. S.5 Treas. Nl. W. l... S. 'l8g Cn. C.: Sec. G. C. 'lS: R. C.: Pres. R.

GBUS Df RUH1'tUli2 1919 COSA ELIZABETH REYNOLDS 'iW1zal strained touches rhetoric can lend. Cosa is a care-free, happy-go-lucky girl-one always ready to help a struggling classmate. She never seems to worry over her lessons, but the grade book shows her great ability. Cosa's fondness for literature and skill in writing composition have won for her the praise of the English teachers-but not the study hall Ukeepersf' She has never been known to occupy her pew in silence. This lucky chatter- box spends much of her time not only in writing essays but also in composing poetry-why one might think her a pupil of Keats! H 'Nineteen's wishes accompany you, true friend, while climbing' the ladder of poetic fame. A. A.g R. C.g M. W. L. 5.5 G. C. PAUL. REVERE. SHEAHAN Colden opinions from all sorts of people has he. Paul, during his years of toil in high school has missed three entire fall terms. Because of this the Class of 'IS suffered a big loss, but 'l8's loss was 'l9's gain. Each time Paul has retumed the glad hand has been waiting for him, for with his return a good athlete and fine man is within the fold. In discussing the prospects for Baseball every year it is said, to begin with there's Sheahan on First. Paul has also won distinction in Basket-Ball and Football. This fall he was in the army. The Kaiser heard he was coming so decided to surrender. Although he is not known to burn midnight oil he usually passes his subjects with credit. P. R. has a pleasing personality and always has his jokes along. His favorite expression is, Well, I'll see you in the funny paper. He can shake a foot with the best, according to the ladies. Paul has held many offices which testifies as to his ability and popularity. In fact he is well liked by all who know him. Have I not said enough? B. B. 'l5- I6-I7-I8-19g Capt. '17-183 F. B. 'l7g Bt.

This demure little lady has only been with us a part of her high school career but it took us just a little while to find her true place among us. She is one of our Stars in every class and her grades often dazzle the eyes of her fellow classmates. Talk about being happy!-You should have seen her on Peace Day with such a big bundle of morning papers and a face wreathecl in smiles, but we were not a bit surprised as that was just a part of a wonderful game which she is playing-and diamonds are trumps! We did not wish Bertha to leave us but in spite of our protests Young Lochinvaru swept down upon us and took her. They are now sailing in that silvery yacht of the dear, old Honeymoon. lVlay they have long lives of happiness, health and prosperity, is the wish of the 'l9 Class. R. C.g A. A. .

Sarah Eleanor would not know herself by this dignified praenomen. for she is known to us as Nellie Some people may think that she is quiet but if you don't believe she can talk just get her started and you won't get a chance to put in a word sideways. She is always ready for fun and can laugh, my, how she laughsl fespecially in Study Halll. Yet, with her sport, Nellie does not neglect her studies, as her grades show. She is a Math star, shown by the 100 received on Arithmetic exam. But the joy of her life is her music. She would rather practice five hours than study one. so she say. fperhaps it is laziness, who can tell?J At any rate she plays beautifully and hopes to give her life to this lofty art. She is planning to continue her studies next year at St. lVlary's and if she does as well as she has done at old R. H. S. we are sure that her college career will be a success. A. A.g M. W. L. S15 G. C.: R. C. WALTER LEWIS YOUNG The secret of success is constancy to purpose. Whatever Walter attempts, he puts into it determination and always comes out in triumph fexcept 3-A Historyj. As a rule Walter knows his lessons but when he doesn't he puts up a line of talk that gets him through. His genuine upright qualities and unfailing good humor have given him a warm place in our hearts. He is an ac- complished joke teller and public speaker, his ability in this art being shown by his success in the l9I8 Declamation Contest. He possesses a wit that never fails and enjoys using it in the classroom. Walter is an all-round good fellow and is very popular among the students, especially the girls with whom he delights in tripping the light fantastic toe. We can look into the ,future and picture Walter as being a progressive politician, making laws for Virginia He has not decided which college he will attend but wherever he goes he has our best wishes for success.
