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 ]!?«■

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 ] •

Dear old Sally — deep down in onr hearts, is there anyone we love more? Your will- ingness to help, your ability to do things as they should he done, and your sweet per- sonality will always be remembered by the class of ’28. And didn ' t you and Hilda make one pair? ’e could never praise you too much, Sally, for you certainly de.serve praise. Resides being a bright student, Sally is also an accomplished actress. May you have everything which goes for happiness in your future life. EDWARD KIRK LINDSEY Riisiness Manager, Alecko. Dramatics, ' 28. Track. Captain, ’27, ’28. Athletic Association. Spanish Club. Class Officer. And what do we know about Kirk except that he was a little bashful? Why, he was the Business Manager of student publica- tions. What could the . lecko have done without his managing ability, his ease in get- ting over difficulties, his anxiety for this book to be the best ever published, his will- ingness to help? .And didn ' t he make a great highwayman? He has stolen our hearts. Who will be the next one? To those who know him there is no one who is a better friend. Don ' t forget us, and God bless j ' ou ! JOE LOEB Asst. Advertising Manager, Alecko. Football, ’27. Joe would argue, because he dotes on it. That ' s all right, Joe; we admire your spunk. You have done much towards the publication of this book ; we thank you for it, also for your interest in all of our affairs. May you always be as successful as you were in A. H. S. Don ' t forget us. So long, Joe; we ' re watching you. - [ Page Thirly
