MARY LEONARD RICE "Mary" : . REEDVILLE, VIRGINIA ElIglish ~ Reedville High School Philomathenn Literary Society, Chaplain, '23, '25, '26: Y. \\T. C. A.; J. C. c.. Hiking Club, '26; Biology Club; Class Basket-ball, '23, '24; Vice-President Student Govern- ment, '26 But it was a maxim size had often tried Thai r'ighl, was righi, and there she ~lJould abid-e. URELY these lines could not more truly describe their inspirer than they do Mary. Through four years of the turmoil and trials of college life her outstanding characteristic has been her unswerving loyalty to duty and to right. This loyalty has won for her the love and respect of everyone, as evidenced by her election, in her Junior year, as vice- president of the Student Government Association. Mary is an ardent devotee of athletics. Few were the football or basket-ball games she missed, though the rain descended in torrents or the Hill was covered with ice. Nor was her interest limited to being a spectator. For two years she was a member of the class basketball squad, was a frequent hiker, and a mighty wielder of the tennis racquet. In the other phases of college life she was also an active participant-a faith- ful member of the Sunday School, an earnest and tireless worker for Y. \V., and by no means a poor student. Whom the gods have so richly endowed surely they will give success and happiness throughout life.
