CARL TRANUM Scien tific Carl has found that after all there is nothing like Shakespeare’s philosophy — “Frame your heart to mirth and merri- ment, which bars a thousand harms, and lengthens life. ” He has ever been an outstanding member in many circles, and especially so in his Senior year as Editor- in-Chief of the Annual. While it is true “that none can express thee though all should approve thee,” yet we are content that success will be the only fitting climax for a career with such bright prospects. JULIA KELLY Academic “Exceeding fair she was not; and yet fair In that she never studied to be farier Than nature made her; beauty cost her nothing, Her virtues were so rare.” Though with playing basket-ball, being secretary of the class, leading cheers, and capturing subscriptions for the Little Virginian, she had little time to stop and powder her nose, our Julia did not go unobserved. STUART CARTER General Senior dignity was not a surplus product in the Class of ’29, and how we would have managed even a fair supply of it without Stuart is a problem we prefer not to contemplate. 19 1 1 1 i i ' 1 i i i 1 1 1 1 1 i i

The Virginian CHARLES HOMER HARRIS Academic “ Go ’way, little boy, you can’t play with us. You will have to grow some.” Stung by these words little “Swede” went away and worked and worked and grew and grew ’till he was a big little man. Hence the bulldog of the gridiron and lightning of the basket-ball court, and, the President of our class — our “Tige!” BESSIE COFFEY Commercial Can’t you just hear the basket-ball fans shouting “Bessie, Bessie! Rah for Captain Coffey!” If you can’t, you don’t know Bess — and you are missing some- thing, for she was Subscription Manager of the Little Virginian, Vice-President of her class, and a basket-ball player par excellence. HELEN MAINOUS Academic Our class had its full quota of Helens, but we would have been lucky had there been even more if all of them could have brought to us the sunshine and joy that Helen’s gay spirit never failed to do. CARRIE LEE FERGUSON There is something intriguing about a surprise, and Carrie Lee’s chief charac- teristic is furnishing dazzling surprises of disposition and accomplishment to the delectation of her many admirers. 18 ■ 1 - 5 1 1 i 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1

The Virginian s ? ' I z 4 ? i y A? 1 I ’§ | | | | 1 ' § I 1 7 A? § ' § GEORGIA STONE Scien tific It has been said that every day you live you paint on a big canvas a picture of your life. It would indeed be a beau- tiful picture that could portray the slow drawl of her voice, the spontaneity of her smile, and the agreeableness of her na- ture. RUTH TALLMAN General Throughout the four years that Ruth has been in High School none has heard her complain when the assignments are hard, or when things don’t break just right. What more could anyone ask than to be able to take things as they find them and like them for their hardness? JOHN KING General He takes nothing too seriously and tackles life’s problems as they come. John is known for his red hair, good nature, and generosity. When any of the boys need a cigarette or “two bits,” John is the big-hearted boy. His work as Class Legator and Assistant Business Manager of the Little Virginian was very char- acteristic of “Yon.” VIOLETTE WISLER General Maidens are like blossoms, according to the poets, and certainly our Violette is not unlike her namesake. Not too shyly timid, however, as her decided and brilliant opinions often proved. As Society Editor of the Annual she was an indispensable cog in our wheel. i I ? 4 i ? A W 4 x •A- I ? 20
