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.

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'

lIlH9 GERTRUDE THROCKMORTON Gertrude is a distinct type in our class. She is tall, has black wavy hair, and brown eyes. She blushes very easily. To those who know her she shows that she really enjoys fun as much as the rest of us and she has the habit of laughing at the mistakes of others. Gertrude is quiet and studious, yet we can- not say she is a grind, One of her favorite studles is Home Economics and we feel sure she will fill the role of house wife to per- fection Her favorite pastimes are reading and staying home from school. We all think a great deal of Gertrude and predict for her a successful life. ' Q NANCY GARNETT Nancy is one of our bobbed haired straw- berry blonds. One of her habits is getting peeved at the teachers. She sometimes gets out of patience with the rest of the bunch, but we can hardly blame her when we con- sider that the members of the class are very trying on one's nerves at times. Nancy is very friendly to everyone but she has the distinction of passing through high school without adopting any one schoolmate as a chum. She walks a mile to school and works harder than any of us after she arrives and yet she keeps in line physical condition. Cheer up, Nancy, for your persistent hard work will cause youato win.
