22 MAMIE CANFIELD Mamie is very small in size, but her mental capacity must be very large as she is the Salutatorian of our class. Mamie's kind and gentle ways have won for her many friends. We notice the small children love her dearly because she always finds time to play with them. Now we all know she is always ready to enjoy a good joke, and she is always willing to take an active part in anything that will produce fun. Mamie takes a great interest in Home Economics and we think in future life she will make some lucky man a lovely little wife. Good luck, Mamie, in whatever you under- take, is our wish for you. N W1LLs FUSSELL Wills, better known among his friends as Reddy, has been with us for a long time, having started to Varina in the Seventh Grade. Wills is going out for baseball and if he keeps on as he has started we expect him to make a great player. Wills has proved himself a true friend and classmate, and has also shown his ability to sing. He is quiet and studious. His favorite study seems to be Agriculture, and we think he will settle down on a farm and live a life of contentment and peace. We predict success in whatever he takes up in life. l

I - - - THADDEUS MORAWSKI Better known as Rawski, came to our school from Glendale, as a Junior. In the time that he has been here he has proved himself a true friend and classmate, by always being the first to Volunteer in any work or play for the advancement of the school. Through his efforts along these lines he has the distinction of being our best orator, a valuable man in any line of athletics, the best all-round boy in school, and because of his literary ability, the honored position was given him as Editor-in- Chief of this annual. Rawski is very careful about the binding contracts he makes with certain young ladies in the Junior class. We recommend Thaddeus as one of the most promising students Varina has ever turned out, and in whatever line of work he may specialize we wish him the Best-o-Luck. N MARY GARLAND STONEMAN When it comes to people who are good natured and have sweet dispositions, Mary Garland beats 'em all, and we do not wonder that she has the reputation of being the hap- piest member of the class. Who does not know of Mary Garland's cheerfulness 'and her ability of brightening up our darkest hours? She always has a pleasant smile and a kind word for every one. Although she is not an athlete she more than takes the place of a player in every game, for you can hardly think of Mary' Garland without thinking of her Ford, as she is al- ways willing to take her car and a crowd to the games. May fortune always smile on you and may you ever be happyg you always remind us of: Chirps little Miss Laughg v Why, I couldn't tell half The fun I am having This bright summer day. I sing through the hours I cull pretty flowers, And ride like a queen On the sweet smelling hay. l21l

-THW -if , WILLIS THROCKMORTON WVe are glad Willis has successfully piloted himself through the long four years of hard work with us, and we know he will make good at whatever he undertakes to do. In class he is a man of affairs, who looks on life as Strictly Business. But in a crowd some say, If foolishness measures the length of life, Willis will be the second Methuse- lah. Our sincere wishes go with you, Willis, and we hope that whatever you undertake as your project, you will have great success. , N ALBERT HARE Albert, or Iack,,' the Sheik of Varina, came to us from Glendale. While he belongs to the Hare family he is not of the wild kind, and he is not disturbed by the girls barking at him, as long as they do not bite. I know the Varina Faculty is tired of looking at his face because he has not missed a day since he started in our school. jack is a shin- ing star in Chemistry and is very experienced in causing explosions. We feel sure some day Jack will be an expert chemist and make Varina proud of him. E23
