Wh RUTH MURPHY Where is Ruth? Some logical thinker said, Where is the mirror? But we do not blame Ruth, certainly a mirror could hardly be put to a happier use-at least so think her buddies, and why not? Ruth was declared our most popular student by actual vote. She is not quite so radical in social enjoyment, not so fond of late hours and extreme excitement-but let a community enthusiast tell it, only the experienced can express the more subtle charm. Ruth has represented our school at Charlottesville for three years in a very creditable manner. We believe she will be even more successful in the home of some lucky man. MARION BERKELEY FUSSELL Through the four long years that Berkeley has been with us he has proven himself a true friend and classmate. If there is any- thing to be done we may depend on Berkeley for he is always ready to do his share to make things a success. His interest in athletics is shown by the fact that he is president of the Athletic Association, cap- tain of the Basketball Team and for three years has won monograms. He is a shining star in Chemistry and very experienced in causing explosions. We feel sure that some day Berk may be a great orator or lawyer, but whatever it may be we predict that he will make a great success.

LoLA F. MARTIN Lola is a very wise looking young person. She is an especially hard worker in Chem- istry Laboratory. We do not know what we would do without Lola to ask questions in class in order to get Mr. Baker to put on' a written lesson. We are always fond of her when she rings the class bells too soon. We expect Lola to be a great Botonist Cespecially in Bugsj, some day. Any way we wish her success in whatever she under- takes. ESTHER HINES Her skin is like the lilies, Her cya: are like the skies, H er cheeks are pink as roses But oh! her smiles tcll lies. Esther is mischievous and likes fun. She joined us from Glendale in our Junior year. She is a regular fish when it comes to swim- ming since it is her special hobby. One problem she cannot solve in arithmetic is, why Mr. Baker calls her Elsie instead of Esther. She expects to be a business woman, probably making Vests I

She is not only the first to have her work up and in, but has time to enjoy a good joke and she also likes to perpetrate one on her classmates. Gladys has an unusual mind and we often wonder why it is she can so quickly see through things over which we have to spend many hours. ' D Gladys' sweet disposition and willingness to help others has won for her many friends and we are confident that a career awaits her in the literary world. HAZEL Bowls Hazel is one of our cutest girls. She always greets you with her cheery smile and I-Iello. Latin is a mean struggle for her, but she gets there just the same. When we are feeling disheartened and low down it is Hazel who cheers tus up with her snappy jokes and compliments. Agll the boys like her because she is such a good buddy. The girls adore her for her sweet and unselfish disposition. She is usually second in line to the mirror, but we grant her this privilege as we areuproud of her good looks. She expects to teach, but if cupid handles the proposition as he should she is more likely to be connected with the morning paper- breakfast table. ' if ' f.
