By her happy face and winning way she was not long in becoming a fast friend of the Senior class. Virginia is very fond of writing poetry. Do her ins irations come from the front of the Senior Row-by George! l'll say they do! Virginia is not P only capable of making 97 on French examination but she also takes the lead in gym work. She would rather play basket-hall than eat olive sandwiches in study hall. She says little of her future but what- ' ' ' R. C B .

UE115 of 1308110132 1919 MYRTLE LEONE. WOOD SI1e'.s mistress of herself lhough China fall. Since Myrtle has been at old R. H. S. all of us have liked her and know her to be good in her studies as well as interested in any mischief that comes along. Every moming just as the last bell rings Myrtle may generally be seen rushing up the aisle with her hat and coat still on and just in time for roll call. She goes around with a smile on her face most of the time and it is Icnown that she does not tell her troubles to any one. Now there is one thing about Myrtle that worries us. Every afternoon we hear her say, Girls, are you all going to the show? We poor fellows who are broke have to sweetly answer, No, while she goes oIf jingling her two bits in her pocket and makes a bee-line for the American. Myrtle says she may go into the business world for a while, but from what we can find out we fear she will soon give this up. However, we all wish her the best of luck wherever she may go. A. A.: R. C.g Clerical Editor 'I9 ACORNS. - VIRGINIA AGNES WILTSEE 'Wlullum in parvv. ' 'Ginia is one of the most attractive, utterly stubborn, true-blue, little girls in our class. She has many friends, whom she has won through her remarkable combination of good sense and mischief, and' who are ready to fight for her to the last. She is especially adapted to Shakesperean parts and shegreatly admires Henry V. Some one has said she should be a dancing teacher. We can easily believe this! I..emman firmly adheres to the motto, Better late than never, for it is rumored that only a certain prominent young man fneed we name himl-ID has ever found her on time. So be itl To the victor belongs the spoils. She giggles all her cares away and always appears to be perfectly happy. May she have the brilliant success her high school reports predict for her when she enter Randolph- Macon, is the hearty wish of her 'I9 Class. R. C.: A. A.g G. C.g Treas. '18-19, Class Secretary '19, Literary Editor ACORNS 'I9g Pls. of I-I. 4. LAURA KEENE WOOD Though wisdom oft has sought me I scorn'd the lore she brought me. Laura lives in a happy region of come weal, come woe, I care not. She manages to progress, which is quite an accomplishment. Laura says she is going to be a nurse and we all wish her luck, but here's hoping she will never have to practice on us. We know her too well. She is always in a good humor except on the clay when she has Chemistry tests. Of Iate her time has been divided between Chemistry and answering fat letters from France. Luck will attend her, for luck attends the person who dares. A. A.: R. C.
