Senior Class ELIZABETH SPRADLIN be Wilsonian Literary Society, ’26-'27; Athletic Asso- ciation, ’24-°25-’26 27; Secretary of Sophomore and Junior Classes; Annual Staff. There’s a delicate and illusive charm, an inexpressible daintiness about Elizabeth. Nor does she merely stay in the dainty realms of life. You simply cannot suppress her eager- ness for knowledge. Elizabeth is not only smart, but she has a scintillating wit and an inquisitive turn of mind that makes her go deep down into the ideas of all school work and find out the why of it. But let us re- frain from all seriousness of thought and intellectuality, for “Lee” has fun in her, real appreciation of all good times. She can just get right down and be as “dumb” as can any of us. Favorite Sayinc: “Well, what’s the differ- ence ?” RUSSIE TURNER “Russie” Literary Society, ’25-26; Athletic Association, °’24- 1D 2 Oates “Russie” came back to us this year after Christmas and the general cry was, “Here’s Russie,’ for she was one of the most popu- lar girls of our Junior class. We are sure she will make a success of nursing because of her good looks and personality. Best of luck. FAvoRITE SAYING: “Ain’t that something?” LEAH VAUGHAN “Leah” Wilsonian Literary Society, ’26-27; Athletic Asso- ciation, ’24-°25- 26 27; Math Medal; Annual Staff. “Leah ” is a real girl, a splendid sport in all activities. You can always count on “Leah.” Don’t you feel reassured, com-. forted, when “Leah” is around? Everything is bound to work out just right because she’s concerned with it. There are few scholastic problems that “Leah” can’t cope with; she has a mind, will, and personality that will make her famous one of these days.

A NS cS Lr emt emma Vora oe ve Senior Class MARGARET ROWLETT “Speed Ball” bs Literary Society, ’26-'27; Athletic Association, ’24- 25-26-27 There’s an everyday atmosphere of cheer and achievement about Margaret. She’s always smiling and is always willing to lend a helping hand. She has won many friends at Bedford High, and we wish her the best of luck in whatever career she may choose. Favorite SAyinc: “Law Honey.” WILLIAM RUCKER “Billy” Wilsonian Literary Society, ’26-’27; Athletic Asso- ciation, °22-'23-'24-'25-'26- 27; Secretary of Athletic Association; Annual Staff. “Impulsive, honest, prompt to act, He makes his greatest thought an act.” If you want someone to do something for you and want it done right, just go to Billy Rucker.. He might truly be called a good, substantial friend. Great knowledge is his; this we can prove by just one glance at his report card or at the list of medals he has won. We feel sure that Billy will indeed be a credit to his Alma Mater at college and through life. Here’s to the Editor-in-Chief of Tue Peaks, who has fulfilled his duty with the greatest efficiency. Favorite SAYING: “Gosh.” ARPS LREET “Red Light Street’ Wilsonian Literary Society, °27; Athletic Associa- tion, 227: Ralph has only been with us for one year, but we feel a real loss in not having him with us longer. He has proved to be a true friend, and his good humor makes him pop- ular everywhere. We are sorry that he is leaving town soon and our regards go with him wherever he goes. Favorite Sayinc: “Do you reckon?” 19 A ee A Pent a a a ae eS Ne a

Virginia is one of our quiet Seniors who never says much but thinks a lot. She is the same wherever you see her, and she is with a smile. She is always willing to help, and we know that she will succeed no mat- ter what phase of life she decides to take. Good luck, friend. Favorite Sayinc: “Good day.” HOLMAN WARE Saline Literary Society, °26 27; Athletic Association, °25- 2627. On the mark. Get set. Go, but, O, we can't go. Holman isn’t here. There’s no need of our starting until he comes, for everything is incomplete without Holman. He’s always the good sport, the steady oak, when it’s a question of social or school life. Aren't we going to miss that attractive ex- pression, “O, shucks,’ that good natured smile, that accommodating way and con- sideration for both pupil and teacher, and that sweet, sincere understanding that al- ways cheers us. Favorite Sayinc: “O, Shucks.” GLADYS WHITE “Happy Wilsonian Literary Society, °26-'27; Athletic Asso- ciation, ’26-’27. There’s a charm and dignity about Gladys that makes her the popular girl she is. She knows when to put that dignity aside and is one of the best sports ever when it’s a ques- tion of good times. Gladys is quick, friend- ly, and attractive enough to win her way in the world. She was voted the prettiest girl in the Senior class. FavorITE SAYING: “Hang.” Oe et et ee a ee . a med i Lee ee
