•I 5 CLARA WADE l z s Commercial Few of us annexed as many A’s and B+’s as Clara’s record reveals. High up on that famous “normal distribution curve” she ranks. Q V JOHN SENEKER .1 I ' § i 4 5 I § | 9 I § J § I 1 General Ever the spur of ambition touched John’s flagging spirit at the right time, and invariably he “came through.” To conquer ultimately is no mean aim. MILDRED HOOD Academic Among the modern conveniences of Virginia High is a pipe line from the Pierian Spring. Its waters are not very popular and most of us sip and gag, while Mildred drinks in gulps and enjoys it. When not at the fountain she is writing literary hits for the Little Virginian, arching the basket-ball through the hoop, or tickling with equal ease the keys of the typewriter or piano. HERBERT DISHNER Commercial A synonym for steadfastness and sin- cerity is Herbert. A type of unselfish friend and student sure to be remembered. § 4 § i Virginian i vVSfeVv i 1 1 1 1 i

Can’t you just see Nancye as she calls “Fifteen for team. ” In appreciation of her worth as Class Historian and Sport Editor of the Little Virginian, let’s give “fifteen” for Nancye — strong now! N 5 K NANNIE KATE BARKER Commercial Brown-eyed and shy, small and self- effacing, but right there when the test comes! Nannie Kate demonstrated the old adage about small things and precious packages. EARLE JACKSON General “I dare do all that may become a man.” That is a quotation that Earle might well quote, but one which would be entirely unnecessary in the presence of anyone that knows him. Four years is sufficient time to know anyone. Earle’s work on the gridiron and as Class Poet has proven to us that he is a man. EVELYN GOOD Academic “The music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more.” During the last two acts of our little play, Evelyn was the musician, and though we will remember her playing long, we will remember the music of her personality longer, for she struck a note with us that had no discord. 1 1 1 1 1 f 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Nfc ' JAMES HOLMES J, z General We are sorry that Jimmie’s health was never good during his high school years, but did Jimmie’s bad health keep him from serving? Not in the least! Every football man knows that when a rub- down was needed or a sweat shirt couldn’t be found, he just had to say “Jimmie,” and things just went right. N ' ' 1 i 1 i 1 i i i v o;c ' [ i IRENE HAGAN Academic Shamrock is Irene’s favorite flower but she serves us as a four-leaf clover. Her enticing Irish laugh and her way of fitting in make her easy to know and hard to forget. WALDO MILES Scientific Waldo had a devastating personality. When he wasn’t breaking hearts, he was ripping up opposing football lines, cracking books, or gouging out literary bits for the Little Virginian — devastating in- deed, but his seeming violence built him friends and created for him a place in the hearts of all he met.
