The Virginian ifc iiw iiw Si iiw teVN?! VIOLET GILLIAM Commercial The saddest thing in life is that we must ever live in profile. Violet and Virginia laugh at such cynicism, for they know how to march side by side down life’s trail — lucky Gilliams. WILLIAM STEPPE General “And many strokes, with a little axe Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak. ” The proverbial welkin did not ring with Bill’s chopping at the tree of knowledge, but after all noise is a passing thing. What counts is that Bill felled the tree and hauled home the wood. HELEN GODSEY Academic The forest is big; the voice of the stream is loud, even sweet. For a moment dis- regard the grandeur of the forest and the voice of the stream. Stoop low and look at the little violet at your feet; not very large is it, and certianly not loud. There you have a simile of Helen, not obtrusive but all the more enjoyable for her shyness. WALTER MAIDEN General Sometimes things go wrong — skies are overcast, and prospects gloomy. We dis- covered what to do at such times — find “Peanut!” If he didn’t have us joining his chorus of “Wait ’Till the Clouds Roll By,” our blues were incurable indeed. Walter’s is the original “ helping hand ” — on the Little Virginian Staff, in the orchestra, and Glee Club. I ? s. ?■ w ? 4 I l 4 ? i ? £

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?

Could one girl ask more of her good fairy? Convincingly she justified that last adjective as Local Editor of the Little Virginian and Art Editor of the Virginian. Nfc ' ROBERT CASE Academic Silent, unassuming, ready to serve, eager to please. At first glance you will ex- claim, “A gentleman.” Nfc ' LILLIAN BROCKMAN General Lillian is like electric lights — we have had her such a comparatively short time, but we wonder what we ever did without her. FRANK MOORE Commercial The worst that could be said of Frank was that he did not “toot his own horn.” We are incompetent to say the best that could be said of him but we can mention a few of his qualities. He was cheerful, consistent in his work, and gentlemanly in his actions. His friends were many and his foes we do not know. h. ' ? 4 r l k ? 4 ? 4 ? ? 25
