Independent Reporter Ralph Pool to be Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, July 28, 1922

From Cub Reporter to Virginia State Editor

Ralph Pool

This then is Ralph Pool trying to look mature and serious and making an awful mess of it. Ralph has lots of dignity, but he couldn’t be serious about anything on earth except a female. He isn’t thinking about females right now; he has just been called to the desk of State Editor of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. His business will be to handle the news of Virginia and North Carolina for that paper. Ralph used to be cub reporter on The Independent. He is a good reporter and a clever writer. He owes much of his literary instinct to a long line of intellectual ancestors. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. S.I. Pool of this city. Photo by Zoeller.>P?
