1 9 2 4 THE VIRGINIAN 1925 EULA LEE KEESLING BLAND EUGENE BALLARD, Jr. Home Economics Course General Course We need bushels of words to describe Eula Lee and maybe if we would ask one person he could supply those words — attrac- tive, unselfish, lovable, and kind are only a few terms that we need. We love her and hate to bid her good-bye. Love is a wonderful thing.” “Gene” believes somewhat in the old motto, “Let not your studies interfere with your high school life. ” This does not mean, however, that he is not a good student. Far from it. He is simply a good “mixer” and as a result is one of the best liked in Virginia High. “Now, Gene is not so much of a stu- dent, A jolly good fellow, but always pru- dent. ” 28

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

1924 THE VIRGINIAN 19 2 5 EUGENE CASSIDY THOMPSON Post Graduate “Preacher,” as he is widely known, does not possess that quietness and innocence that his name and appearance might suggest. He takes an unusual interest in all kinds of sports, especially basket-ball, and as a result was unanimously re-elected athletic editor of the Virginian, which position he filled so admirably last year. Being richly endowed with common sense and great determination we feel confident that in whatever work he pursues he will gain unlimited success. ' ' Firm as the firmest, where duty led. ” SARA LOUISE CLYCE Academic Course Some think Sara sarcastic but her quick wit and ready speech carries no hurtful sharpness with her words. Sara is always ready to do whatever the Senior class needs to be done. By the way, we have reason to expect Sara’s talent as an artist to develop in later years. All success to you, Sara! “She has a jest that is rare, Her wit is keen — beware. ” 29
