(Elasa nf ' 09 ■ 1 T HARDLY behooves one of this day and time to promulgate the famous records of each illustrious member of this class, for knowledge beyond perfection has already claimed them for her own. However as this task has been shifted upon such a youthful head as mine. I will merely attempt to show them up. This discussion will not take each one from the inno- cence of the cradle but from their life as school boys and girls. First in rank is President Hugh D. Hart. On wings of knowledge he has soared to realms unheard of by the rest of us, and for that reason, we know little of him, beyond this. Yet w e, who stand gazing, in utter astonishment, at him as he takes his upward flight, reap some consolation from the old adage, No bird soars so high but that he must return to get food. We are expecting Hugh to start his earthward flight towards the President ' s chair of the United States. Along side of this renowned member stands our own little Squat (Clar- ence Parsons.) Ha! Ha! Words are inadequate to express our appreciation of such a one among us, and outside of being sorely afflicted with a Perpetual Motion Whooping Cough, we can size him up in the words of poet Odem Walker, I ' m it, Ah! Ah! Beryl Henry, The Athletic Kid, demands here, a few words of commendation. First in play, first in work, first in the hearts of her little school friends. She came to Henderson as little Beb but time hath wrought mira- culous changes upon her. She ranks now among the oldest, in age, and she has the honor of belonging to the Grand Height Triumvirate composed of herself, Luther Beasley, and Waitie Butler, she, (Beryl) being classed No. 3. She holds the world ' s record for Standing Broad Grin, and The Hash Put. It might be of benefit to her to add that when very small she copped first prize at a baby show, in a Beauty Contest. Nos. one and two of this Grand Triumvirate, Luther Beasley and Waitie Butler demand the attention of the entire scholastic body as they perambulate about their various and sundry duties, towrering above the common mass of peo- ple. Lessons quake before their beseeching hungry eyes, for they know they are soon to be devoured and mastered. Never have Luther and Waitie been known to say that little word can ' t. Even Cupid failed in his case of introduc- tion. Pushing upward they go on through this life (hand in hand). Another great organization among the members is The Flirts. Six com- pose this audacious little band. Judging from their serious, solemn and uncon- cerned personal appearance you would never think them guilty of such frivolous conduct, and yet, on the sly they are. The guilty parties are: Christina Moore ) Harry Henderson ) Ida Posey r The Fluffy Ruffles Marvin Holemon r The Candy Kids Mary Steele ) Edgar Dean ) But when these flirting days are over, for they are more or less (mostly more) in the life of each one of us, we shall behold them: 22
