The Virginian 4 § 4 § I i .a § 4 § .i 4 § 4 § I 4 § HELEN HURLEY Commercial Since Junior High days Helen has often surprised and delighted teachers and classmates with her ability to supply the needed information just when the recitation threatened to be a failure. JAMES MAINES Commercial Qualities of real worth — unobtrusive goodness and dependability — are insepar- able from thoughts of James. CATHERINE KABLER Academic We don’t know whether this is biologi- cally or horticulturally possible, but if we wanted a duplicate of Catherine, here’s what our specifications would be: One rose, the best of brains, a ton of person- ality, a carload of animation, a ship load of common sense; mix well and add pepper. HELEN HUGHES Commercial “Something ’bout” Helen’s eyes that always called to mind the couplet that goes like this — “That blue and bright-eyed floweret of the brook, Hope’s gentle gem, the sweet forget- me-not. ” Truly her flower as far as her classmates are concerned. 22 l. r c?.

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

' SVii 4 ,z § z 45 § .1 % 4 § THELMA SHARRETT General At the close of one’s school days, the consciousness of never having caused a moment’s worry or uneasiness to one’s teachers must be strangely comforting. We congratulate Thelma on this accom- plishment as well as many others. LAWRENCE KELLY General Faith, me lad, and your personality reminds me of the shamrock of ould Ireland, refreshing as the green of its leaves. And for each leaf you have a quality that alone would make you likeable. Persevering you are and agree- able though argumentative. Your smile is as good as kissing the Blarney Stone. DOLLY CHRISTIAN General The school is a place of study. Dolly has grasped this. She is “studious of ease and fond of humble things. ” ALBERT SIMCOX General Few philosophers who have not dis- pensed advice at one time or another about the benefits to be derived from the old adage, “Keep Smilin’ In the face of all difficulties, Albert has stuck to this as his motto, and who dares deny that it is a good one?
