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.

•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

Something substantial and lasting we gladly welcome. Jane was the embodi- ment of these qualities in the Class of ’29. NANNIE MAE LEONARD Commercial Rare ability to concentrate on the mat- ter in hand — rarer still — power to win only admiration from teachers and school mates paint a true picture of Nannie Mae’s talents. EARL COALSON General Great was the woe in high schooldom. Another cheer leader was needed and who should volunteer but Earl? Then the Rahs grew large and foes were van- quished ever after. MARY SHIRREFFS Commercial Salesmanship of herself is an art Mary never had to practice. Her serious brown eyes and low, clear voice always con- vinced every teacher that she was fail- proof. 4 ? w, 4 ? ' S, ? ? i
