HILDA GREGG LYNN (“Lynn”) Literary Society. Pep Clul). Dramatics, ' 28. Athletic Association. Advertising Committee, AlECKO. Associate Editor, Alecko and I.ast Laf. Here ' s to tlie prettiest, here ' s to the wit- tiest, here ' s to the truest of all who are true. Behold Miss A. H. S. Hilda is a valuable member of the Leary-Lyiin Co. She has more than just looks. She has made good grades, impersonated a dashing widow m the Senior Play successfully, assisted with the Last Lap and Alecko, and taken part in all social affairs. Because she is interested in everything and liked by everyone, Hilda will indeed be missed. KEITH LLOYD MARTIN ( Mutt”) Athletic Association, ' 25, ’20, ' 28. Baseball, ’27, ’28. Didn ' t Keith love to tease the teaehers? But they liked him just the same, as we all do. Keith, you worked harder than you really appeared to, and you showed your caliber on speech day in Civics Class. We hope that you will enjoy life, and that you will have a host of friends as you did in A. H. S. LESTER EDGAR McMEN. AIIN (“Mac”) Football, ' 25, ’20, ’27. Basketball, ' 20, ’27, ’28. Baseball, ’20, ’27. Track, ’25, ’20, ’27. Vice-President, Monogram Club. ' 28. “Hoo Hoos.” Literary Society, ' 28. Alecko Staff, ’28. Athletic .Association, 27. Dramatics, ’27. If “Mac” means versatile, then we think it could easily be applied to Lester, as he is an all-around athlete, student, and heart- breaker. What would our teams have been without him? He was the star and idol of many a game ! He has played many tricks on the teachers, but has always been for- given because of his personality. “Mac” is to be commended for striving to make his scholarship surpass the standard necessary for participation in athletics. You are an all-around good fellow, and will be remem- bered by all of us. Good luck, “Mac.” ■i [ Page Thirty-one

r VIRGINIA SMILLIE LEARY (“Sally”) Pep Club. Literary Society. Secretary, Senior Class. Last Lap Reporter. Athletic Association. Dramatics, ' 28. Adv. Committee, Alecko. Editor in-Chief , Alecko. 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
