19 2 4 THE VIRGINIAN ROBERT CHESTER MUMPOWER General Course Chester is very proud of the fact that he hails from Highpoint, our neighboring me- tropolis. He is always out for a good time, but he is no shirker when it comes to hard work. He is sincere, yet full of jovial wit and honest in the strictest sense. These are only a few of the qualities combined in him which go to make up a successful man and a true friend. “ What care I. when I can lie in rest, Kill time and take life at its best. ” SARA ELIZABETH HARMELING Home Economics Course A shriek! A giggle! A terrific noise! Elizabeth is coming to class. “Liz” is a bit loud and frivolous but we love her just the same. She has endeared herself to the hearts of her classmates by her adorable disposition. We hope that she may find as much happiness in future life as she has given us at Virginia High. Do you not know I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. 26

He is one who always looks on the sunny side of life and succeeds without any apparent effort. He is also one of the few in Virginia High who have never made an enemy as his friends are all with whom he comes in contact. We do not know what he has chosen as his life’s work but whatever it is we are certain that he will succeed. Good nature and good sense are usually good companions.’’ MARTHA AUGUSTA HORTON Academic Course Martha, the pride of the Senior class, and the beauty of the school has as added attain- ments an amiable disposition, a keen sense of humor, a ready wit and a sweet voice.

1 9 2 4 THE VIRGINIAN 1925 VIRGINIA ALICE NAVE General Course Everybody loves Virginia because of her frankness and sincerely. Surely those qual- ities will lead her on to great things in this old world. “A friend to one and all alike. ” WHITE MITTEAU MILES Latin Course “Toby”, as he is known to all his friends, is cne of the most well-liked members of the class. His ability to think clearly, speak forcefully and to work earnestly makes him also a brilliant student. Being inflamed with the desire for learning the greater portion of his time is spent with his books, but he is never too busy to devote a part of his time to athletics in which he is greatly interested. We are sure that in the future some community will profit greatly by his knowledge and ability. “ Things are bound to happen, why worry? Everything comes to him who waits, why hurry? ” 27
