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'

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.

eillllh RosA BARNETT !fR0syJJ A little bit of powder And a dab of paint, Maker one's complexion What it ain't. We do not know what we would do with- out Rosa. How could we write up our Chemistry note books without the aid of her splendid vocabulary? Rosa came to Varina from Charles City. We do not know exactly what she intends to do, but we think her vocation will be cooking three meals a day and perhaps singing lullabys. CHARLES WHITLOCK Charles Whit is another Thoreau. He believes in attending school one day and mak- ing that do for a week, He is very fond of parking his books on other pupils desks but for all that he is a good sport, a good pal, and an athlete. Whit is always willing to help anyone into or out of trouble. He is an expert on science, especially Chemistry. Charles will gladly help us with our problems and experiments even when he does not know them himself. We will not be surprised to find him teaching Chemistry in some college. He is also an expert on changing tires on his desert snorter.
