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

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

How he would have enjoyed our sparkling, vivacious Kathleen! Perhaps almost as much as we have! RUTH WARREN Academic Some people learn a lot but talk so much they don’t get time to remember what they learn. We know Ruth learns much for she talks little. She has only been at Virginia High two years but on each of our little tablets of memory, beside the name of Ruth is a little ace with a big meaning. PAUL WRIGHT General A sturdy determination to win out, a grim persistency whose results make reflections on “Tink’s” career most gratifying are his truly enviable char- acteristics. Two years of varsity football tell part of the tale. PEARL PITTS Commercial Given a conscience always alert, a sense of duty intensely alive, a keen determi- nation to make good, and you have a con- ception of Pearl’s attitude toward school and its duties. Another name that is not a misnomer. 4 ? ? 4 ? 4 21 X
