Senior Class LENA MARSHALL ee LR Uiscay Athletic Association, ’25; Literary Society, ’24- 725. Lena came into our class in our Junior year. She has sailed down the stream of school life with us for two years. “Trix” is very quiet and reserved, but when it comes to Spanish she’s a regular “shark.” She is not without many talents, and we expect to see her classed among the great poets of the day. Favorite Saying: “I can’t.” ROBERT CULTON MORRISON “Mutr’—Bos”—‘SHorty” Athletic Association, °’22-'25; Literary Society, 723-’25; Football Team, °’°22, °23; Basketball Team, ’23, ’25; Manager of Basketball Team, 20 si Ds 2 Clubs “Bob” is one of the most popular boys at B. H. S. He is always ready to give informa- tion to anybody on anything other than Latin, and then he would refer you to Mrs. Brown. He is one of our best athletes, but, unfortu- nately, is always the one to get hurt in the games. He has more high school spirit than most anybody in the school, and that is some- thing everyone admires and which few of us display. Favorite Saying: “Great day in the morn- ing!” PS RUBY ELLEN NICHOLS “NICK” —‘Boosy” Athletic Association, °24-’25; Literary Society, ’24-’25; Basketball Team, ’25. “Nick” has not been in our class very long, but we have learned to love her. She has a quiet and refined manner until you know her quite well, and then—oh, my!—but she’s a “peach.” Ruby has a great deal of fun in her if you just know her well enough. She has done splendid work for the high school in basketball. We don’t know what we would have done without her. Favorite Saying: “She's a sight!”

The Peaks Senior Class WARREN LEE JOHNSON “DRINKWATER” Athletic Assocation, ’22-’25; Literary Society, ’23-'25; Football Team,- ’22, 23, '24; Baseball Team, ’23, ’24, ’25; Manager Baseball, ’24; ‘“‘B” Club, 25. He came to us from Moneta five years ago, and we have never been sad since, for his continuous, cheering laugh keeps us in high spirits. “Drinkwater” is a very handsome fellow, as is shown by his popularity with the girls. He is a jolly, good fellow, and has friends on every side. We shall now leave him to the fate of his fair lady friends. Favorite Saying: “I ain’t went out much.” WRAY KINZER SONTET ee Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Literary Society, 23-725, Wray is very ambitious and kind, two qual- ities which will win success. She is witty and good-natured, always joking and teasing. Wray cares not for the opposite sex. She has one weak quality—her curiosity. Favorite Saying: “Great Scotts!” MALCOLM ROY MARSH “SWAMP” Athletic Association, ’23-'25; Literary Society, 723-725, Also. known as “Cotton-head” and “Preacher”, Malcolm is a character who would be noticed in any crowd because of his stately height and dignified bearing. “Swamp” is also a debater of note, never having lost a debate. Some of us have often said we would pity his wife if his results should con- tinue. Favorite Saying: “Oh, pshaw!”

Die toile The Peaks Senior Class MILDRED OVERSTREET “COUNTRY” Athletic Association, ’22-’25; Literary Society, ’23-'25; Vice-President Literary Society, °’23; Secretary Literary Society, ’25. Here is one of the favorites of our class. We shall never forget Mildred’s kindness and her willingness to do what we ask her to do. She has a way that makes everyone feel that he is wanted there. She has more good old common sense than most anyone we come across, and as for playing the piano she is hard to beat. Mildred has contributed a large part in making our class what it is, Favorite Saying: “Heck, no!” MORTON ELDRIDGE PADGETT, JR. “Daisy MIpDLINGs”’ Athlete Association, °23-'25; Literary Society, ’23-’25; President of Senior Class; Manager of Baseball Team, ’25. Morton is the first Senior to graduate with twenty units, and accordingly is a very prolific linquist, speaking fluently Latin, Spanish and French, besides English, in which he is al- ways most profuse. Because of this profuse- ness of speech Miss Patterson is always giv- ing him time, but at the end of the period he always manages to talk her out of making him serve it. Favorite Saying: “I ain’t the man I used to be.” GEORGETTE PARKER “SQuSsH” Athletic Association, °’22-’25; Literary Society, '23-'25; Secretary and Treasurer of Senior Class; Basketball, ’24, ’25; Manager of Basketball, ’25; Editor-in-Chief of Annual; President of ‘B’’ Club. Whole-hearted and enthusiastic is ‘“Sqush.” She puts life in everything she does. She is able and willing to do anything you ask her to do. The Senior Class was fortunate in se- curing such a capable girl as she as editor- in-chief of THE PEAks, for such a responsible position requires one who possesses patience, perseverence and efhciency. We wish success to this lovable, dependable and attractive girl. Favorite Saying: “That reminds me.”
