BESSIE CORE History "Bess" Onley, Virginia Onley High School Philomathean Literary Society; G. S. G. A.; J. G. C.; Y. w. C. A.; Choir; Girls' Glee Club. "The sweetest thing on earth-a woman's tongue A string which hath no discord." ESS came to Western Maryland seeking an education. She went straight to the Dean of Women, and upon being questioned con- cerning her home town said, "From the 'Only town in Vir- ginia'." When questioned further, it was learned that she wanted to sign up for voice and piano and so started the career of our "only girl graduate in:voice." Bess has been enthusiastic in the social life here as well as in the classroom. She is always present at class games, school games, movies (when the Seniors are allowed to go), and parties. Perhaps the other members of the class of '24 are a little envious of Bess because she is the youngest member of the class, and therefore has a longer life ahead of her during which to make a success. Her parents will not be disappointed in their only child. Bess intends to continue with her music at the Peabody in Baltimore. S eventy- three
