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

-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

At first only the name was familiar, then the thought came to me that she MQQQFT'-83, was a classmate at v. H. s. with pleasure tht invitation was accepted and anxiously I awaited the time. Days seemed months, yet Hnally the afternoon did come, and as I entered the room, much to my surprise, I found other schoolmates were also present. So it was a tea which gathered together the class of 1925. At first the topic of conversation was New York, with its shows, styles and other things of interest, but before long we began to recall former days. Don't you remember when we were 'rats ? asked Virginia. 'iVVhy certainly, I repliedg Hit seems as if it were only yesterday that the sun was shining clear and the gentle breezes tried their best to lessen the intense heat, as the twenty-eight young hearts, proud and happy, entered the doors of V. I-I. S. to complete the task set before them. Myl Didn't the teachers have patience to drill us in the work?l' This from lNIary Stoneman. They certainly did! I shall never forget the soul warming smiles with which they welcomed us, and how they drilled us so we could beat the upper classmen in our first debate. At this time Margie, from the other side of the room asked, f'Who were the teachers? Mr, Baker, Mr. Rice, Miss McCraw, Miss Shel- bourne, and Miss Stonemanf' was the reply. I 25 l
