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.

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.

2 NIAHB rv' -iggfvzmfafn ORVILLE FRICK The simple things, the true things, The silent men that do things. This little gem describes Orville. He is ever busy. The time others spend in talking Orvilleaspends in studying. He leads his classes in all branches of work, having won the distinction of being our best debator and orator. He has represented our school in state and county contests. But when we say that Orville is studious we do not mean that he is a book worm, because he is one of the best athletes that ever came to Varina, being on the track team which represented the school in the track meets at V. P. I. But Basketball is the ame in which he shines. He is one of the ?ew to play in every game for the entire' year. . With these numerous desirable accomplish- ments he is retiring and bashful especially among the fairer sex. Rest assured that success awaits him in any field he chooses for his life's work.
