• • VERNA NAOMI BAFFORD Home Economics "Verna" Solomons, Maryland Western Maryland Preparatory School Philomathean Literary Society; President Girls' Student Council; Y. W. C. A.; J. G. C.; Powder Puffs, '24; Southern Maryland Club' Recording Secretary Philo, '22. ' "A perfect woman, nobly planned 'f 0 warn, to comfort, and command." I years ago Verna came to W. M. C. with all the impishness of a Tom Tit Tot. Nthe cycle of events many curious things creep in. For instance, seven years Today, she is the president of our Girls' Student Council; and a mighty patient, tactful, wise president she has been, too. The memories of her own early escapades, doubtless, account in large part for Verna's sympathetic leader- ship. Another factor which has contributed much toward her successful handling of an exceedingly trying position is her dry humor. She must certainly know the truthfulness of that old adage: "Humor is a saving grace." Throughout her college career Verna's creed has been to work conscientiously. However, when play time approaches you cannot find a better sport anywhere. A Home Economics major she is, and plans to teach for "at least three years." We wonder! However, time is a great factor in determining the affairs of men- and of fair damsels, too. . Because of her refreshing personality, her bigness of character, her whole- some outlook upon life, we rejoice that the fates so willed that Verna should have lived among us. [80]
