DOROTHY AXXE RICHTMEYER (“Dotty ) Spanish Club. Pep Club. Athletic Association. Latin Clul), President. 27 ; Secretary. 2fi. Dramatics. 28. Literary Society. Rehold Miss Dignity! Dotty never laughs without thinking the matter over, and then she laughs heartily. And. oh how pretty she is! She is very firm; she knows what she wants to do, and she usually does it, regardless of the consequences. Will we ever forget on speech day in Civics when she said like a bolt out of a clear sky : “Gee, I ' m nervous !” Her grades have been excel- lent, and sbe has scored in math. What bet- ter start could anyone wish? Good wishes, Dotty, ole dear ! MARY BARBARA ROAT (“Bobbie”) Pep Club. Athletic Association. We will always remember your sweet, smiling face, Barbara, and your contagious personality. You were an excellent student, and after all, that’s what counts, doesn ' t it? If hard work and a buoyant humor spell suc- cess, then it is yours ! CATHERIXE VIRGIXIA ROBEY ( “K itty”) Hasketliall, ' 2(i, ' 27, ' 28. Pep Club. Athletic Association. “.■ in’t that grand? Yeh, that’s Kitty, we know, the minute we hear it said. These seem to be her — er — that is — well — er — fa- mous last words, we’ll call ’em. Kitty has plenty of pep, and has been an indispensable member of the basketball team. A. II. S. is losing a loyal supporter with lots of school spirit in her. She was always on hand in her little brown car to help. We know that Catherine will succeed in whatever she un- dertakes. Page Thirty-four ]| -

he ALECkO HARRY DOUGLAS PEYTON (“Duck ) Pi Omega Nu. Athletic Association. “Hoo Hoos.’’ It always will be a mystery to us just how Douglas manages to know his lessons so well every day. Preparedness certainly must be his watchword. And were his speeches en- joyed in civics? We ' ll say they were. Don ' t, forget us, Douglas, when you get away up there in the business world. So long 1 EVELYN LEWIS PICKETT (“Ebbie ) Pep Club, Treasurer, ’28. Dramatics, ’26. Athletic Association. Advertising Committee, AlECKO. Literary Society. Writers’ Club. Class Prophet. She’s the cutest, the sweetest, the nicest, the neatest — what more could be said of a girl? Evelyn really has a goodly amount of all of these traits, which you no doubt already know without our telling you. And can she dance? , ' nd how! Evelyn has really been so taken up w ' ith a particular “pet of hers that she hasn ' t had much time for the rest of us. However, those who know her find in her a true blue friend, all of which makes us hate to part with her all the more. GLADYS AUDREY PIERPOINT (“Shorty”) Literary Society, ’27. Pep Club. Athletic Association. Could we ever forget Gladys, that little bit of feminism ' , no longer than a minute? Well, hardly ! How on earth she always manages to recite for Miss Ficklin is be- yond us. And as a typist, she — well — to make our side sound good, she must have been lucky. Why do some girls have all the luck? There is no justice! •»|f Page Thirty-three ]|«-

i . he ALE ' CKO MARGARET EMMA RUDD Pep Club. Athletic Association. Behold fargaret, an essential member of Coffman-Riidd, Inc. Margaret is a quiet, sweet, unobtrusive sort of person ; we ad- mire her for it. Margaret has always been behind A. H. S. in all her endeavors; she has done much to make our dear school a success. Lots of luck to you, Margaret, and don’t forget your old schoolmates. JAMES WHITING SAUNDERS Latin Club, ' 26. James is Miss Ficklin’s own dear little boy, for he sure does shine in English. He is a quiet, reserved youth, who has made good marks during his time at A. H. .S. He is a gentlemanly sort of a fellow until Edward comes along and whispers some- thing in his ear. Then the fun begins. We wish you plenty of luck for the future, James ! MARY ELLEN SAUNDERS Pep Club, Vice-President, ’28. Athletic Association. Dramatics, ’2fi, ’28. Latin Club, ’2f . Lasi Lap Staff, ' 28. Literary Society. Class Officer, ' 27. Mary is just so full of wiggles that when you look at her picture it, too. seems to wiggle. She is the other member of the Pickett-Saunders, Inc., two such distinctive types, but such lovable lassies ! Mary al- ways wears a smile and has something witty to say, making it fair weather, when she and her friends get together. .She is also an accomplished actress. How our ears have pricked up when we heard her name on the assembly program for a monologue! And can she dance? How about it, boys? Best of everything for you, Mary ! • i[ Page Thirly-five || -
