JACOB HANSEL PEOPLES Classical President of Senior Class, ’29. Boys’ Hi-Y. French Club. Manager Football, ’27. “’Tis well to be merry and wise, ’Tis well to be honest and true.” Hansel is the personification of wit and geniality. He is possessed of a disposition which makes association with him a pleasure, and as a result, he has made a host of friends during his years in school. We hope the future will be good to him — it should be. He has shown us. ROBERT FRANKLIN PHIPPS Commercial “To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then Be false to any man.” Robert is the kind of a person in whom his friends are able to put their trust. He has kept his honor and his record fair. He will be missed at the Tennessee High School. May he meet in his life success as he has met it in Old Tennessee High! NILA PROFFIT Commercial Football, ’27, ’28. Baseball, ’27, ’28. A true friend and a jolly comrade, who can stand the cheering and jeering with equal fortitude. A quiet fellow is Nila, but in the class, on the gridiron, and on the diamond he has played a good clean game. Of the place he shall leave at T. H. S. we might say “Here stood a pal.” 23
