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.

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.

iIlH5 CLARENCE CROUCH Generally known as Sleepy, believes a successful person must have a certain amount of relaxation. Accordingly he sets aside a portion of each period to sleep. However, he chooses his subjects well and passes on all those which he thinks will be useful to him in later years. He is an especially hard worker in Chem- istry Laboratory, always trying to perform some wonder which was never heard of by any other Chemist. We are sure he will be a great Chemist some day and will make VARINA proud of him. ELMA Fussiau. Ware but my 'voice just tuned right I'd carol through the live long night. Varina, especially the class of '24, is deeply endebted to Elma for her charming alto voice. For four long years she has assisted generously in all of our quartets and choruses. Elma is a diligent worker and she is always glad to assist others. She is patient, gentle and quiet. These qualities along with her soft tone of voice would be a great asset to her as a trained nurse. However, we think that Elma has other aspirations but we are unable to guess what they are. There is no doubt but that she will be successful in what ever she undertakes. lf'
