MIRIAM VIRGINIA JONES French "Miriam" Temperanceville, Virginia Temperanceville High School Philomathean Literary Society; J. G. C.; Y. w. c. A. . "1 go my way complacently, As self-respecting persons should." A JOYOUS companion, an ever-willing helper, a girl who will true confi- dence never betray-this is Miriam. lives among us, yet with an air of certainty-she Unassuming-but radiating happiness wherever she goes and leaving with those among whom she moves the impress of that indefinable quality-charm. Never boisterous, yet fairly bubbling over with joy; sincere and earnest in her efforts, she has included both pleasures and studies in her college days, and this is the unusual part about it: she has succeeded, too! She can rattle off French at 100 words per, and anyone would much rather play tennis with Miriam as her partner than as her opponent. In fact, an all,around girl is she, one whose influence has been felt; for "No life can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife and all life not be purer and stronger thereby." [l06}
