CELIA SUSANA FULLER SHE WITH HER BEAUTY AND CHARM, HAS WON A WARM PLACE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL. Oneretta, '23: Marshal, '24: Librarian, '24-'25: Athletic Association, '2l: Associate Editor of THE CUB, '23: Literary Society, '24, If anyone should ask who Celia is, immediately he would be told that she is one of the prettiest and sweetest of our classmates. Besides, Celia is a good sport. She can always be found on the field of ac- tion, especially where there is a baseball game. But there's always a reason, and we don't wonder why, this time. You will tind her always ready to lend a willing hand. She has a great many friends, who love her. We are sure that only success and many admirers will come to her as she goes through life. Celia IRMA FULCHER SHE IS POSSESSED OF THAT INEXHAUSTIBLE GOOD NATURE WHICH IS THE CHOICEST GIFT OF HEAVEN. To know Irma is to love her. If a few more of us were like Irma our teachers would have a much easier time, and frowns would seldom be seen on their faces. Dimples BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GILLIKIN QUICK T0 LEARN, WISE T0 KNOW. Athletic Association, '22: Pinafore, '23: Cub Football, Basket-ball, Baseball, 23: The Elopenient of Ellen, ':Z4: President of Student Council, '25: High School Orchestra, '25: Circulation Manager of THE BRCIN, '25: Dramatic Club, '25: Senior Play, '25. Ben can't be beat. In dramatics, he's the stuff fexcuse the slangj. As a manager of THE BRUIN he was one of the very best and most dependable. Oh! we could rave on forever about Ben, 'cause in studies he's an A-1 student and not only that but in most everything he's right there. Don't think Ben won't get along in the world, because he's the one with plenty of pep and a right good rep. KiBenY! A. J. GASKINS RARE COMPOUND OF QUALITY, NOBLE AND TRUE, WITH PLENTY OF SENSE AND GOOD HUMOR, TOO. Cub Football Team, 23: Cub Baseball, '23: Pinafore, '23g Senior Play, '233 Vice-President Student Council, '25. A, J. is one of the best students in the Senior Class, and in Geometry, he shines like the North Star. In fact, Geometry is no more to A, J. than a hus- band is to a movie actress. But, of course, he has his weak points like Caesar and Napoleon. UA. J.'s happens to be the members of our fairer sex-namely, girls. But we feel sure that he will soon get over this weakness after he has been cast into the cruel world for a few months. uJaysy

M 4 x , T , 9,147 JANE GERTRUDE KAFER A FRIEND IN NEED, IS A FRIEND INDEED. Pinafore, '22: Basket-ball, '23-224: Captain Basket-ball, '24: Athletic Association, '22-'23-'24-':23: Dramatic Club, '25: Literary Society, '24: Treasurer Athletic Association, '25: Girl Scout, '22: Marshal '24, This is a girl full to the brim with school spirit! If you want to get up a Junior-Senior banquet and need ideas, this is the girl to come to. With athletics. Gertie's right there. She has played basket-ball three years and has proven to be a good player. She is one of the most dependable girls in our class, and she never shirks her duty. She is the kind of girl we like to call our classmate. Gerty MARGARET LAWRENCE YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND HER TRUE AND JUST. A GIRL WHOM ALL WILL LOVE AND TRUST. Athletic' Association, '23-'Z24-':Z5: Pinafore, 'ZZZQ Literary Society, 243 Glee Club, '24-'25: Dramatic Club, '24-'ZZ5. Margaret is another proof of the fact that the Seniors of '25 are a happy-go-lucky crowd. We al- ways think of Margaret as standing up by her seat and saying, Miss ........ , I simply can't stay in this afternoon. Its simply impossible, and I can't imagine what I'm staying in for. However, she takes her medicine like a man, and we sincerely hope she will have a few afternoons off before June arrives. Margaret EARL EWING MERRITT WOMEN, WOMEN I OH. HOW I ADORE THEM ! I-umrlmll, 'rzz-'23-'24, Earl is an all-round favorite with the ladies. His spare hours are always spent in planning a good time for whichever her he's taking to the next party. Earl has three sterling qualities--grandiloquent lov- ing, a willing spirit, and women. Earl is also a knock- out football player. He is a very good student, but loves to tease the teachers. Doughboy ELIZABETH CLAIRE MCSORLEY SHE ISHEGREASILE5 sn-IE IS SHY, BUT SHE HAS MISCHIEF IN Pinafore, '22: Athletic Association, '22-'23-'24-'25: President Ath- letic Association, 224125: Basket-ball, '22-'23-'24-'25: Literary So- ciety, '23-224: Manager Basket-ball, '24-':25. Elizabeth is counted among the few who uphold athletics in the Senior Class and practically the whole High School. She certainly is the stuff on the bas- ket-ball court and she always plays a snappy game. She is also a real friend in other things, one who can sympathize with others who are having trouble in passing their work, for she has been in that same boat. Anyhow Elizabeth surely is a real girl and a real friend, the kind that are few and far between. Elizabeth CTWENTY-ONE,

President Footwarmers, ,22f2:i-'2-1-'25: Assistant Directf.r ot' Orchestra, 'Z5. Who is that fellow towering above all the Senior boys? Don't you know? Why its our George. He came to us from Wilmington but he's a true N. B. H. S. admirer now. He's one of Mr. Johnson's two- minute speakers. With this talent and his ability to play a violin, we're just positive that George will be either a Senator or in Jane Garber's noted jazz orchestra. George WILLIAM THOMAS WOODLEY, III. SPEECH IS GREAT, BUT SILENCE IS GREATER. Football, '23-'24-'25: Athletic Association, '22-'23-'24-'25, Baseball, '24-'25. Woodley doesn't believe in working to the limit, but he does believe in using a reasonable amount of gray matter to do anything he decides to do. In math- ematics Woodley shines, and in spite of hard luck with a wrenched shoulder and a few minor bruises he has done fine work. When we lose Woodley we lose a good man, one that all of us like. Woodley JOHN DAVID WHITFORD, JR. '-I LOVE A LASSIE Cub Team, '22: Athletic Association, '23-'24-'25: President, '25g Football, '23-'24-'25: Baseball, '23-'24-'zsq Basketball, '23-'24-'25, Pinzrfore, '23: Literary Society, '24: Dramatic Club, Oh femmes and fair damsels, take warning! We know not whether John D. has taken many hearts, but we do know that he is an admirer of a short, little girl. Social stuff-well he's right there, ready for every dance and party. Studies-can't, but athletics- he can't be beat. 'KJohn D. MARTHA WATERS WILL'ST THOU HAVE MUSIC? THEN SEEK HER. Secretary of Class, '22-'23g Music Medals, '22-'23: Basket-ball Team, '22: Secretary Student Council, '23: Pinafore, '23g Secretary Glee Club, '25: Senior Reporter of THE BRUIN, 125: Assistant Art Di- rector or' THE CUB, '253 Senior Class Historian, Literary So- ciety, '25: Athletic Association, '25. Here's to Martha, who's always on the spot. Yes, that's true, Martha's always there and can be depend- ed upon, you bet. When there's any fun Martha's there too, for although she has many honors and is the neatest girl in the Senior Class, she is not quiet and sedate, but full of fun, with a smile for all. Mot holds many class offices, is in for all N. B. H. S. ac- tivities, and though this takes up much of her time, she passes on her horror-geometry-and always comes up with a good report. We all love Martha and don't know what we shall do without her when she goes away to continue her music career. K 6MOt7 Y QTWENTY-THREE,
