EULAH MAE JOHNSON Home Economics "Johnny" New Church, Virginia Western Maryland Preparatory School Philomathean Literary Society; Corresponding Secretary, Philo, '24; Recording Secretary, Philo, '25; House President, '25; Y. W. C. A.; J. G. C.; S. S. "The light of the whole world dies With the dying sun." ·X b what is this ray of light which penetrates the darkest corners of college life and brightens up the world in general as if the magic touch of King Midas were in fashion today? What is this sunbeam which makes to vanish every trace of night, and gives life and light to this dark world • of ours? This, my dears, is our own adorable, sunny "Johnny." Like the sun is her disposition-bright, cheerful, chasing away all the ugly clouds. Like the sun's rays is her personality, filtering through the lives of others, not forcing its way; but slowly and surely gaining ground by its sincerity, leaving those lives better and purer because of its presence. Like the sun's strength is the strength of her character; of her ability to pierce the shallow surface and to reach the things worth while; of her determination to find the right, and do it; of her endurance to stand the test, and come out victorious. Like the sun's triumphant march across the heavens, even so shall be "Johnny's" life. [l02]
