He is always willing to help his classmates in any way. Joe, chosen by the class as the most studious boy, is also a great football player. During the season of 24 and ’25 he was our best guard, and one of the best linesmen Altavista High has ever produced. ee ALVAH CUYLER SMITH “Monk” | | | Philologian Society, ’22; Football, °22, ’23, ’24; Captain Zoe basketball lec omc On mn ACh mae anmmo is Monogram Club; Athletic Association; Class Prophet; Minstrel, °26; Class Play, ’26; Athletic Editor of THe NUNTIUS. “Handsome is as handsome does.” Alvah Cuyler Smith, voted the handsomest and most poptlar in his class, known to fame as “Monk”; good-humored but gets “mad” occasionally. He has a monopoly on the word “whitch” and is never known to misspell a word. Sincere, frank, and manly, as captain of the football team of ’25, he led the “De- mons” to victory, gaining the championship | pennant for District Number 6. Hurrah for “Monk.” Y DOROTHY SNOW SMITH “Dot” Eureka Society, ’22; Athletic Association; Vice- President Class, ’26; Class Play, ’26; Assistant Editor of Tue Nuntivus; Reporter of Echoes of ’25; Valedic- | torian of ’26. “Very studious; not so quict as one might think.” Dorothy Smith, the valedictorian of our class, is a very industrious and intelligent stu- dent. “Dot,” as her school friends know her, is kind to everyone, and loved by all; espe- cially by our history teacher, Miss Juliet Fauntleroy. ‘Dot's’? most noticeable character in school is being a little timid. ri ri ni ‘ « » “ rt » ‘ e OE OE OE A) A |) Te, PAGE EIGHTEEN + ome

He is an excellent worker and always does his work willingly. Reese never lets his lessons interfere with business, but somehow gets through, so we know he will always do so in after life. He himself is a valuable friend, and consequently has scores of friends everywhere. ep ANNIE HANCOCK TURNER “Annie” Athletic Association; Testator of °26; Senior Play, Wirelaibnatiatine cose 24m cone On “Works while she works, and plays while she plays.” Annie has the ability to do many things and all well, especially that of being a good libra- rian. Her wisdom, congeniality, and pleasant ways have won for her a place in the hearts of all. She is sincere, dependable, and just her own self. She has indeed shown herself a loyal member of ’26. ep LEWIS ALEXANDRIA VAUGHAN “Lewis” Philologian Society, ’22; Minstrel, ’26; Athletic As- sociation; Class Play, ’26; Jests of ’26. “Witty, studies spasmodically.” Lewis was elected the laziest boy in class, but we do not of course think so.
