Pinafore, '23s Literary Society, '24: State Typewriting Contest, '25, Deenie is one of our little girls, but her knowl- edge is not to be compared with her size, for great minds in small bodies are oft found. Ask her what her favorite subject is and we are sure she will say typewriting. Cutie ANNIE STEVENSON DUNN IN YOUTH AND BEAUTY WISDOM IS BUT RARE. Pinafore, '22s High School Minstrel, '23: Elopement of Ellen, '24g What Happened to Jones, '25: Literary Society, '24: Dramatic Club, '25: Treasurer of Class, '25. Here's one of the beauties of our Senior Class, in fact of our High School. Some people say beauty is only skin deep, but in this fair young maiden we have found an exception. She has proven this by ranking among the first students of the class, by her ability to act, by her host of friends and by her sweet and amiable disposition. So here's to Teenie, the blond of the class. Teenie ANNIE LAURIE SHEPPARD LEAVE SILENCE T0 THE SAINTS, I AM BUT HUMAN. Athletic Association, 123: Scouts, '22g Literary Society, '22g Pinafore, '24: Literary Society, '24: Glee Club, '24. And Laurie certainly does this, too. If every- thing seems to be getting quiet, for a change, she has so do something, if its only to settle an almost for- gotten disagreement with her adversary, Elizabeth Scales. We sometimes think that this is the way she takes her daily dozen. Her favorite study is English- maybe-but we won't mention that here. She strives to make a one, yet when she pulls in this mark she nearly flings a fit. Here's hoping she'll keep the good work up. Laurie GENEVIEVE MILLER AY, SIR, I HAVE A PRETTY WIT. Pinafore, '22: Literary Society, '23-'24. If you have the blues real bad and feel like you're 'bout ready to commit suicide, just call on Genks to drive dull care away. If she has a serious thought no one knows about it. Not even Geometry can bring a frown to the surface, and when you see her face get a little sober you may know that it is just the calm before the storm. She certainly has helped to cheer the path of the Seniors. Genks

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,

IIIIIIIIIIII Illll AllIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MARY ELIZABETH BRINSON 0 WHAT A PAL WAS MARY. Girl Scouts, '22, Pinafore '233 High School Minstrel, '23g Literary SZ-aciety, '24, Dramatic Club, '25: Assistant Editor of THE BRUIN, JJ. If you've got the blues just listen to Mary laugh, and soon you'll be laughing, too. Her smile is not only for her crushes and friends, but for the whole world. Not only is Mary noted for her smiles but for her hard work. What would our school paper do without Mary to help make it a success? Everyone loves her for she is a real pal. csMaryr: GEORGE WASHINGTON BRADHAM AS A WIT. IF NOT FIRST, IN THE VERY FIRST LINE. Athletic Association, '22-'23-'24-'25g Football, '22-'23-'24: High School Minstrel, '23: Exchange Editor of THE BRUIN, '25: Joke Editor of Annual, '25: Orchestra, '25: Dramatic Club, '25: Marshal, '24: Senior Play, '25. We often wonder if George ever hurries. He al- ways seems so slow and happy-go-lucky, but he al- ways manages to get what he wants. George keeps things going in 11-A and he is attractive and quite a sheik with the ladies. When we think of him we think of wit. He is not only witty, but has plenty of sense. In whatever career George decides he is most titted for, we are sure he will make a big success. Sleepy OLLIE MAUDE BOONE WELL TIMED, SILENCE IS MORE ELOQUENT THAN SPEECH. Athletic Association, '22: Operetta, '23: Literary Society, '24, Glee Club, '24-'25: Dramatic Club, '24-'25. Ollie is one of the most loyal members of the Senior Class. Always ready to help somebody out, she is indeed a good friend to all. Her school record is an enviable one, especially when one thinks of the short time it takes her to get her lessons. She gives a great deal of her time toward helping to make the school organizations a success and is an all-round girl. Ollie ALMA DALTON BRYANT BE GOOD, SWEET MAID, LET wHo WILL BE cLEvER. Athletic Association, '22: Literary Society, '22-'23: Pinafore, '23: Council, '23-'24: Glee Club, '24-'25: Dramatic Society, Alma is one of our experts in dodging the teacher when the long list CAlma's name always leadsl is read out to remain after school. Alma can't under- stand why she is not permitted to chew her gum in peace. She declares that if she ever teaches, a gen- erous supply of gum shall be distributed among the pupils. All she strives for is the seventy mark and if she happens to go over it she is sadly disappointed. Alma ITWENTY-FIVEI
