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

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.

IRENE ELIZABETH PARKER Salisbury, Md. “Irene is a girl we all like to meet, Her manner is ever sympathetic, gentle and sweet’’ Irene is a young girl of stern aspect and of martial bearing but, fortu¬ nately appearances are deceiving in her case. All jokes were made to in¬ voke her jolly laughter. In domestic science she has a standing reputation, as she is a wonderful seamstress and is possessed of individual tastes that culminate in her apparel, reaching the zenith of perfection in head adorn¬ ment. In like manner, Irene stands out in sharp contrast to the rest of our charming clique in that her determination is a thing as firm as the memory of our History class. VIRGINIA SARAH PHILLIPS Hebron, Md. “She freshly and cheerfully asked how one should kill time.” Altho Virginia is not a Salisburian, she’s almost as good. She hails from Hebron and her appearance and disposition are in keeping with that beautiful little village. We have teased and aggravated her in every way possible, but have never yet succeeded in causing even an impatient word to c oss her lips. She takes all our worrying with the sweetest smile upon her countenance and we go away baffled. All people have their peculiarities and Virginia has hers, in that slm seems to have a decided aversion to walking. She is seldom seen in the simple act of placing one foot before the other, except when she ascends to the comfort of a “Haynes.” Virginia is always so sweet and sympathetic that she is not only a great favorite among the girls but among the boys also. 26
