ALICE JANE HAWKINS SA [2 Athletic Association, ’24-°28; Nique Literary Society. Alice is a steadfast. conscientious worker and we feel sure will succeed in anything she at- tempts. She possesses just the proper amount of “stick-to-it-ness” that most of us find so elusive. This arouses our respect and admi- ration. We wish you the best luck possible for the future. MARY ELIZABETH ISREAL “Billie” Athletic Association, ’24-’28; Nique Literary Society. Mary is jolly and good-natured. The only time she loses her patience is when she fails to get her Geometry. She is a good sport and always “is in for” anything that comes along. Her cheery smile has won her lots of friends. Best 0’ Luck, Mary. EDYTH M. JARVIS “Cowboy”, “Bucket” Athletic Association, ’24-’28; Nique Literary Society; Basketball, °27-'28; “B” Club. Rattle, bump, bang! Yeah, that’s Edyth Jarvis that just went by in that “cle tin can” of hers. Full up as usual. You never see her without a whole bunch. A favorite? Rather. She can certainly drive that car too, makes it do everything but talk, and that’s not the half of it! She’s a regular all-round girl—dances, goes out for any kind of sport. I hear she’s going to coach athletics when she gets out of college. Well, so long, and if you want to know one attractive girl, get acquainted with Edyth. Favorite SAayinc: “A-N-D HOW?” 17

THE PEAKS | 16 JAMES RAYMOND FROST Ute” Athletic Association, °24-’28; Nique Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer of Class; Football, ’27-'28; “B” Club. When “Jim” comes around there’s a buzz in the atmosphere, a snap to it, a bustle, be it athletics, a good time or school occasions. We can’t forget that determined manner. “Jim” is a real friend, a true blue sport. What will we do without “Jim”? JOSEPH ALLEN HARDY oes Athletic Association, °24-’28; Nique Literary Society. “Joe” hails from the country, but that is not held against him. “Joe” is a boy that we know will succeed in the game of life. He does not seem to care for the insignificant things of life (girls). However, “Joe.” has one bad habit—tardiness—he has con tracted the name of “Joe Tardy.” We know you will succeed, “Joe.” CLAUDE JOHNSON HATCHER Athletic Association, °24-’28; Nique Literary Society; Football, ’28; “B” Club. If you want to find an all-round good- natured boy, look for Claude Hatcher. His easy going manner, cheery smile and willing disposition have made him a favorite with all. Athletics are in his line, too. All of us will miss him “just terribly.” He knows how to have a good time, too, and is the typical gad- about of the school.

THE PEAKS 18 THELMA MALINDA KIDD “Thimble” Nique Literary Society. You can always count on Thelma to be handy on all occasions. Her ever ready smile, her pleasant “yes Ill be glad to” has wen a place in our hearts, always to be remembered. And Latin! You ought to hear her read it. She will, no doubt, hold a professorship in that “ancient” language in some of our large colleges. Thelma is just a student anyway— always studying, always knowing her lessons. We won't and can’t forget Thelma. HAZEL E. LAMBERT “Beckie” Athletic Association, ’27-'28; Nique Literary Society. Hazel is a very studious girl, especially in Mathematics. She keeps her mind on her work, except when it is wandering into other states. She has a very sweet disposition. I know she will be missed at B. H. S. We extend to her our best wishes for success in life. Favorite Sayinc: “Darn it all.” KENNETH JAMES LATIMER “Skinny” Athletic Association, ’24-’28; Nique Literary Society; President of Class; President of Ath- letic Association, ’28; Foctball, ’24-28; Bas- ketball, °28; “B” Club. How flat we'll be without “Skinny.” He was all that made up a class, a big sport in all activities. A friend indeed to all of us. His career as a President has been most suc- cessful. We feel and know that “Skinny” will make a mark in this world. Here’s all our luck, “Skinny”, in your pursuits.
