f he ALECKO HELEN JAFFE ( Jeff”) Pep Club. Basketball, ’25. ’2(i, ’27, ‘28, Athletic Association. Here’s to the fellah Who over you holds life’s umbrella! May the very best in life be yours, Helen, for you certainly deserve it. You have al- ways stood as high as the next one in class, and usually managed to join in all our dear frivolities, also. We wish you luck, Helen, dear, and ask you not to forget us. JAMES OVERTON JONES Track, ’25. ’2b. Football, ’27. Baseball. ’28. This young man has indeed been welcome in our midst. He is a loyal student to both studies and school activities. We are afraid Jimmy wouldn’t make much of a cook, as he hasn’t been much of a mixer. We recognize his qualities, however, and realize that A. H. S. is certainly losing a prize when we bid him good-bye. Here’s all the luck in the world to you, Jimmy. BRIDGET AGNES KELLEY ( Bridget”) Pep Club, Chairman Entertainment, ‘28. Dramatics, ‘28. Athletic Association. Eiterary Society, Secretary, ‘28. Miat would Mr. Moncure have done without “Bridget” to tease in Economics Class? It is hard to imagine, although she took it gcKxl naturedly. Agnes is always willing to help and wears a smile which makes you feel better for having seen her. Didn’t she take the part of Aunt Lizzie in the Senior Play just fine? And she has won her way into the heart of Miss Ficklin. Just hitch your Irish luck to a star and you’ll land on top, Agnes, old dear. Best o’ luck. • 1 Page Twemy-eight ] •

3Hw. he ALE CKO ADELINE BERTHA HORTON (“Addie”) Athletic Association. Adeline is one of our quiet, shy little misses, but when she opens her mouth many words of wisdom drop out. She has been indispensable to Mr. Moncure in the office this last year. And how she can make the typewriter talk ! We are sure Miss Bretz would have been at a loss without Adeline’s quiet and capable assistance in the commer- cial room. We wish her success. WALTER TRAYNHAM HOUSTON (“Ham”) Track, 24, ’25; Assistant Manager, ’ 7. Literary Society, President, 28. Athletic Association. Can’t you just see the very devil dancing in Traynham’s eyes? Yep, Ham is always in for a good time, and somehow usually manages to have his pockets filled with oranges, apples and bananas — in fact, every- thing his pcKkets will hold, especially around noon time — we wonder ! We have to hand it to him, though ; he certainly has taken an interest in the Literary Society. Traynham, ole boy, just hook your wagon to a star, keep your seat, and dar you are. CECELIA ANN HUFTY Pep Clul). Athletic Association. Spanish Cluh, 28. Dramatics, 28. Stop! Look I Listen! A riddle! Why does Cecelia Hufty remind one of a phono- graph? Three guesses, and two of them don’t count ! That’s all right, Cecelia ; that tongue of yours is usually wagged for sen- sible reasons — and how ! Cecelia is a valu- able member of the Pep Club, which she has proved every year at the football supper, and by never missing any games of the sea- son. Will she be successful? Of course! How could she help it ! ■ [ Page Twenty-seven ]!«•

ALE CKO EDNA .lARIE KENNEDY (“Peg” — “Eddie”) Athletic Association, ’28. Pep Club, ' 28. Edna, the girl with the curls — and what famous curls! W ' ouldn’t we just love to pull them? She has been with us but a year, so we haven ' t had time to get very well ac- c|uainted, but what we know abi ut tier, we like. She is anything but a bad student, and she dances divinely. Edna has not entered any of our clubs, but maybe she was shy. We wash her all the luck in the world. DONALD SHERWOOD KING Football, ' 26, ’27. Manager Track. ’27. Monogram Club. Donald is everybody ' s friend! And take it from us, that is some honor to hold. He is an exceptionally good student, whose hobby seems to be to tell us all that he hasn t looked at the lesson ; yet when lie is called upon he never fails to give a perfect recita- tion. We must not forget to say something of his dramatic ability, which certainly de- serves praise. And is he a lot of fun to have around? Everyone who ' knows him says, “Yes, we like you, Donald, and we hope you ' ll never forget us.” CAROLINE KREUTTNER (“K. K. ) President, Pep Club, ' 28. President, Literary Society, ’27. President, Sophomore Cla.ss, ' 26. Editor-in-Chier, Last Lap, ' 28. Treasurer, Senior Class, ' 28. Latin Club, ' 27, ’28. Athletic Association. Domestic Science Club, ’2 ». Dramatics, ’27, ' 28. Reading Award, ’27. Writers’ Club, ’28. Hail, the orator! Caroline just couldn’t help but be an orator, as talking is her hobby. In spite of all her talking, she has edited the Last La ' to her credit, made good grades, and held down the position of Presi- dent of the Pep Club. .She has been inter- ested in everything ; she has put Pep into the Class of ' 28. School spirit is the main part of Caroline ' s make-up. We extend our best wdshes for the future, Caroline. Page Twenty-nine ]!?«■
