Harry plays right tackle in the football line-up, and when the game starts, one can hear his opponents yelling, ‘“‘Beware of Altavista’s right tackle.” , A 2 FF EY | 0 | Y CATHERINE COLES PAYNE “Paine” Eureka Society, 22; Athletic Association; Class Playa 20. “Silent but not dumb.” Catherine is very studious, always ready to help her classmates and friends wherever she can. She has a retiring nature and you would be surprised to hear that she is a flapper,” but at the same time a good sport. “Paine,” belying her name, is some fast walker, making ber regular trip down town every day in less time than forty minutes.

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.
