Always talking, but never says a thing, especially when Miss Juliet is in charge. The decision of the Senior class bestowed upon her the honor of being the prettiest girl in class. Whenever you meet her you are met with a friendly smile and a kind word for everyone. She likes to spend her time laughing and talking rather than study- ing, but she passes her subjects, carrying with her the keys of. fun. Y EMILY JANE JOHNSON “Emily Jane” Athletic Association; Eureka Society, °’22; Class Play, ’26. “Very cool-headed to be red-headed—quiet, but can talk when necessary.” A radiant smile and a friendly word always greet you when you see Emily. She likes fun but thinks her lessons of much more impor- tance. Emily has always been one of the shin- ing stars of our class, and will be missed by many when she leaves high school. “Best wishes Emily Jane.” Y MARY ELIZABETH MATTOX “Red Top” Minstrel, ’26; Eureka Society, ’22; School Musician; Class Play, ’26; Toast to Senior Boys. “Another cool red head; studious and good- humored.” Our Pittsylvania kid has a personality you will envy and her intellect is just as keen. Whenever you hear a piano, and a voice sing- ing “Yes Sir That’s My Baby,” think of “Red Top.” She is one of the “canaries” of our high school.

Her hair is thick with many a curl that clusters around her head. We all like her for her good looks and pop- ularity. Essie is the shining star in our bas- ketball team, and she never misses a goal. Her favorite expression is “eek.” ep RUTH CALLOWAY “Ruth Athletic Association; Basketball, °25; Class Poet; Glass, Play; 726. “Outet but full of life.’ Ruth has always had a quiet, dignified air, which causes others to have the deepest re- spect for her; yet she is full of life. This may be seen by her active part in those things which require pep. She knows the value of “kindness and generosity, which she has ap- plied to her life and put to one of the greatest tests among her classmates. Abs Y ALTA BELLE CARR “Belle” Eureka Society, 22; Basketball, ’24; Social Editor of THe Nuntius; Treasurer Athletic Association; Minstrel, ’26; Class Play, ’26; Gifts. “Precious gifts come m small packages.” Belle had all the boys vamped until “Light- ning” struck her. Unless you watch your step you will lose your heart to the cutest girl in class. “Full of fun, full of pep, Light of heart, light of step, Very pretty, very small, This is ‘Belle’ seen by all.” ite epee peri aaaesassaatinaes CLE.
