-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

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

ME t I I24 ROSYLYN MCCANN We, the Class of '25, are greatly indebted to Rosylyn for her splendid ideas and sweet disposition. She has proved a good friend and a true classmate during our many years to- gether. Rosylyn takes an active part in the Athletic Association and Junior League, and she has also been chosen as our best all- round sport. She is very fond of arguing, especially with Mr. Baker, concerning Chem- istry grades. Rosylyn has shown us the truth in the state- ment, There is a time for work and a time for play, for although she is fond of all kinds of sports, she never leaves her work to play. An old saying is: Curosity kills a cat and satisfaction revives it. Rosylyn keeps the class dying with curiosity to know whose heart she has tantalized. We do wish she would tell us more of her love affairs. For Rosylyn, we wish success in whatever she undertakes. N ISABELLE WHITLOCK Isabelle, who is more often called Izzy, is one of Varina's jolliest girls. We all enjoy being in her company, for she is ever ready to tell some little joke or an interesting event which had recently occurred-most likely on Sunday evening, while out driving in the Baby Overland. If you stay around Izzy for at least two minutes you won't miss hearing a portion of her favorite song, Charlie My Boy. Izzy's favorite accomplishments are: eat- ing, talking, playing basketball and getting out of all the work she can. Isabelle is also an excellent actress and she has entertained the whole student body on different occasions. She certainly can sling a mean i'lingo when she impersonates a darky. You are all right, Isabelle, your good habits outweigh your bad ones, and to you we wish good luck, eternal happiness, and f'Charlie My Boy. 1
