CORDELIA FRANCES MALONE Salisbury, Md. “I love tranquil solitude And such society as is quiet, wise and good.” She is a thorough believer in the adage, “Nothing ventured, nothing have,” and does not always determine the exact type of hornet’s nest she is about to jump into before she performs the act. But she inevitably re¬ tains the memory of her various exploits and profits thereby. It is sup¬ posedly because of this latter habit that, she is becoming sagacious and in¬ tolerably wise. Frances is to enter Randolph-Macon where she will acquire more knowledge and more “dignity,” where she will leave behind her the old order of thought and, maybe (it is quite possible) she will become even as Miss Dashiell. But, such is life! Frances will become a highly lettered lady of several degrees and we will gaze upon her in awe; no doubt we will criticise her behind her back but she will bring more honors to the old W. EL S. Yet, such is fate! NELLIE IRENE MARSHALL Salisbury, Md. “Her only fault is that she has no fault” For a person of a quiet appearance, no one more belies her character than Nellie. Not that she is boisterous Oh no! Far from such a thing! She is a veritable “pink of propriety” but, in some way or another, she en¬ ter into all capers generally cut by a “dignified Senior.” She has been with us for four years and her face will be among those we will long re¬ member as having been of the crew of our particular ship.

WALTER BENNETT LEWIS Salisbury, Md. “Speech is silver, silence is gold” Walter is as quiet and unassuming as it is possible for any living person to be, and, although we will not miss his chatter, since he is not addicted to chattering, we will doubtless miss his ready answers in class. Tor if Walter is not studying, he is getting ready to study, and if he is not getting ready to study, he is taking down notes on what he has already studied, lie is a conscientious and earnest scholar and if perseverance will win Walter will, for he is perseverance incarnate. “Timekiller” MARY LAROYTA LITTLE Salisbury, Md. “She doeth the little kindnesses, That others leave undone It lias often been said that the best of material comes in the smallest of packages and it may once again be applied—to Mary. She is an accom¬ plished actor if judged from her Assembly appearances; an experienced stenographer from her report; a devoted follower of the Golden Rule from the number of people she helps. As to that matter of aid, who is there who will not plead guilty? She has assisted in many things, from typing our latest play to consoling us in petty grievances. She is a sister to every member of our class. “Little Mary”

LUCIE JANE MILLER Cappahassic, Va. “A happy soul that all the way to Heaven hath a summer day” As a star in the Commercial, Lucie ranks among the first, especially in Shorthand Class where her low, vibrant voice is often heard in the rapid reading of her notes. She is the charming and adventurous pal of every member of our class; ever changing, daring all things, she gives zest and spirit to all our ‘ 4 activities .’ 9 Nevertheless, she is possessed ' of a carefree manner offset by an energy rare in one proportioned so majestically. With the former she arms herself against the world in general, in the latter, she finds a battery which she directs upon whosoever attempts to disagree with her point of view with such an effect that only the stranger or the most disagreeable ever tries to dispute her word again. PHILLIP THORINGTON MITCHELL Salisbury, Md. “Who can fortell for what high cause this darling of the Gods was born?” This happy-go-lucky fellow holds the highest place among the “teas¬ ers’’• his victims are usually the members of the fair sex. Any time one may enter the room, the exasperated cry of “Stop, Bean” can be heard. Phillip has a highly appreciated artistic ability and is so successful in the execution that he has -won a reputation even among people outside of the circle of his fond classmates. So it was that when the members of the “Board” were elected Phillip was chosen as Art Editor. Although he has always helped the more unfortunate, he now stands ready at any moment to dispense aid. Though he has rather a hasty temper, he is not as vicious as he appears and is easily reduced to the utmost docility, but the registra¬ tion of deepest sarcasm is never quite erased. 25
