ALECKO XAOMI MADESSIA CLATTERBUCK French Club, ' 2(i. Yas, siih ! Xaoini means real sho’ nuff business ! She may be small in stature, but she makes up for this in mentality. - nd is there a book she hasn ' t read? She was a valuable member of the cooking class this year; she did her full share, and then some, at getting lunches out every day. Three rousing cheers for Xaomi ! Ve all wish you success in whatever you undertake. TRGIXIA LOUISE COFEMAX Literary Society. Pep Club. ' irginia may be quiet when a crowd’s around, hut we’re willing to bet she can be just as lively as the next one when the occa- sion demands. If we should stop to sum up all of the merits of ' irginia, it would take too much time and space. We know you will succeed, though, ' irginia. Our hearts are with you, honest ! AGXES LEE COOKSEY ( Cooky”) Pep Club. Home Kconomics Club. Spanish Club. French Club. Athletic Association. .• gncs has that gentle, sweet nature which you expect dainty people to have. She strives to do well ; she always succeeds. Have you ever heard her say a mean thing about anyone? And what better thing can you say than that ? She was an indispen- sable member of the Home Economics Class, where she learned to live up to her name. She is a gocxl pal : she has a store of fun for those who know her well. • |[ Pagt Twenty-two ]|e

4 he ALECKO LAWRENCE HOWARD BRAWNER (“Larxey”) And what do we know about Lawrence except that he was a good friend to every- body? Lawrence has not taken part in the social activities of school ; he was surely missed. His smiling attitude and hearty laugh, which goes to show he was full of fun, made everyone desirous of his company. Good luck, Lawrence, ole hoy. MARY RAMSAY BUDUIN ( Buddie”) Pep Club. Spanish Club, Secretary, ’28. Athletic Association. Dramatics. Buddie has had plenty of pep as well as love affairs during her four years at A. H. S. Isn ' t it just a crime at this high school? Buddie certainly knows her stuff, though. What on earth would we have done without her and her clever remarks? Separate Mary and her remarks and, alas, we’d have no Mary. That’s all right, Buddie,” even with all your thrills and love affairs, you pulled through those horrible things called lessons, and we know the top of the ladder will claim you before long. Best luck, Buddie,” and don’t dare forget your old friends. ERNEST BAXTER CARY Joke Editor of Last Lap. Baxter has been with us only a year ; we are sorry that we didn’t have him before. His name is rather perplexing, but we all have it straight now. He is a perfect gen- tleman, with this motto: Have a smile for everyone you meet, and he wil l have a smile for you.” He was quite a radio bug, too. Every morning he would sing or whistle what he heard over the radio the night before. Tune in on your old friends some time, Baxter. • 11 Page Twenty-one Jl

K ' l • lie ALE CKO MARGARET LUCILLE CRAIG Pep Club, ’28. Spanish Club, ' 28. Athletic Association. Margaret doesn ' t talk enough for us to know very much about her, but we know tliat she is a good student, and goes through her studies with flying colors. How we like to look at her neat work in Home Economics Class, and how we like to hear her make speeches in Civics with the little quaver in her voice. She has been very much interested in athletics, too. We are sure that you will remember Margaret among your souvenirs. ANNE FRANCES CRITZER Spanish Club. How on earth does Frances manage to have such a smooth, even temper all the time? She never seems to get excited over anything, just takes matters as they come. And does she know her lessons? Always! Preparedness for classes and the best discip- line ever was certainly the motto of Frances. Best of luck and everything good in life for you, Frances, ole girl ! ALLAN LITTLETON DENNIS (“Casey”) Basketball, ’28. Football, ' 27, ’28. Baseball, ’2b, ’27. Secretary of the Mono jram Club, ’28. Dramatics, ’27. Athletic Association. “Hoo PIoos.” B. D.’s. “Smile and the world smiles with you” surely must be Allan ' s motto, as you never see him without a cheery grin. And he is an athlete — football, basketball, and when it comes to baseball, why, he is a regular “Casey at the Bat.” We thing Allan would make a good chemist, as he is such a good mixer. You have made many friends; we all like you; may you always meet life with the same sunny attitude that you did in A. H. S. Page Twenty-three J| -
