(Continued From Page 3) Katie Peterson, whom I salute as the salutatorian of the class, hails from Crossville (you will have to look on the map) Her picture was run in all the Tennessee papers, for seldom does a student star in high school and in college, too. The last of the Jelliccans (he must have been dumber than the rest) went out with the class of ' 29. Wilsie came to school to be a preacher and he is leaving to be a senator and later President of the United States (personally I think he is ,i liar, but I will wait and see). Wilsie was a stubborn man to run over on the football field and a stubborn man to argue with in English class. (This bit of history written by Tom Cash.) Marie Rogers now occupies my attention. I wonder if she has a hair-cut yet. Marie, the long haired vamp, was out- standing amid so many short haired vamps (upstarts from the Junior class.) She stood high in her classes and her many friends grieved at the parting. Here I see a cclumn called ' Signed by the Bishop. Yes, I remember now; that was Mouzon Peters ' pseudonym. Mouzon ' s object in life was to live that he might die. I suspected him of being a disciple of Sinclair Lewis, or H. L. Mencken, but I was never able to discover a Mercury in his room. Anyway he was brilliant and usually sarcastic. Sweet tones of female voices now assail my ears. Cath- erine Lane is singing a solo and Imcgene Carr is accompany- ing her at the piano. I wonder if Lura and Pansy have ever taken that long- planned trip to Chattanooga. Lura with her laugh, like water coming up out of a pump, was a good student in spite of her strong brown arms. Her love of beating boys at ten- nis, and her basket eye which made her the high scorer ia many of the girls ' games. Athletics and chemistry were her specialties and she was not averse to boys. Pansy ' s one plump smile was her inevitable companion. My eagle eye alights on the name of Vallie Ogle. I was never certain whether Vallie was a Senior or a Junior. She could not pull Kemp up to Senior standing, so she had to go down and associate with the Juniors. Vallie was never able to finish a recitation. She told half of it and the Dean always had to take for granted that her resulting giggle was meant for the remainder of it. If my memory is correct, Ralph Smith hails from the metropolis cf Stanford. Ralph is one of the Waisman boys and one of Prof. Stubbs ' chemistry students. Almost any evening around four o ' clock he could be found in the chem- sitry laboratory boiling ' things ' . I always thought that these things were water, but maybe they weren ' t. Like Saul, Red Latham stands head and shoulders above his classmates. He is the tallest man in the class and has the reddest hair. Red was a football player, night watch- man, (he never caught anybody in two years) and one boy who was proud of the fact that he came from the country. He never even claimed a village for his home town. After viewnig Red Parrot and Buck Weaver (pardon me for mentioning so insignificant a person as a Junior) we hardly see hew Newport, Tenn., can send out such contradic- tory people. Paul and Creed Mantooth did their work quiet- ly as contrasted with the whoopee methods of Red and Buck. Marjory Ledfcrd came into prominence on a wave of Car- lyle. Carlyle was the cpen sesame for her scholastic ability ' in English), fcr members cf the English class will remember that it was she who stuck by Professor Fisher till the bitter end on that long ordeal thru Sortor Resartus. Ruby Bailey, the quietly efficient president of Wesleyan Service Club, although one of her high ideals faded into an illusion when her coming young Bishop Harvey Cook forsook her for other girls, nevertheless retained the most of them and remained one of the idealists of the class. She was a geed student, a quiet but thorough thinker, and had a high- ly communicable faculty for expressing her thoughts. I sometimes wonder if Mary Lena is going to get married or teach school, but I have never decided. You see she is specializing in Home Economics and I am sure that she will do one of the two. What I thought to be a true romance story turned out to be a brother and a sister, but I was not the only one fooled, fcr every one thought that Eula and Creston Barker were madly in love, and that no other relation existed. Ernest Davis ' many faculties as student and his many so- cial qualities made him one of the all-around boys of the ci ss. You felt the presence of this sandy-haired lad. and yet he never made a great noise about himself; he seemed to just sl.p into the crowd and there you are — that ' s Ernest. Here are some more prominent members of the Senior class. Jessie Kelley ' s class record, especially in English, is one that every student does not make. Little Keys, I guess she is outstanding in keeping ' Lefty ' in right trim. It seems that Jordan is the next name to shine. She has slipped into cur midst since last term and her scholastic work ranks among the highest. Beulah Clayton and Cecil Cox are the next on trial. Mrs. Stone says ' she is very mischievous, ' that will do. Beulah, you are a good Senior. Cecil is noted for her long comments in English class. Frank Perry is almost a stranger, but we claim him as a Senior. I have been thinking if Frank ' s ability as a singer would some day make him famous. ' Rat ' Ray is another one of those fellows who keep their doings a dark secret; but I guess it is best. Some contrasts — here is Annabelle, the biggest all-around girl in the class. Annabelle has a very pleasing smile, (she tells me a lot of lies) and is a big friend to every one. And here is Evelyn, — the contrast is not in friendliness, for sel- dom do we see Evelyn but what she is smiling. Myrtle with her high ideals and her quiet way of express- ing herself has won many friends in the class and she will bo long remembered. Dorothy is from that far West state uf Washington. Dorothy is an actress and I am beginning to believe she is about to start a life long play. Here are three Seniors. Swafford, Williams, and Querrv. They all put out to sea, and one is already married — the ethers soon will be. The last, but not the least is Rupert Ghormley (I am the first who has ever had the nerve to call him Rupert). Ru- pert has several distinctions. He is chubby, bald, and cheru- bic. He is one preacher with a high sense of humor. Rupert did good class work and was an ardent supporter of all the activities of the school. The girls liked to tease him because he is the only man in the senior class who has to account for himself when he comes home at night. Mrs. Ghormley sees to that. Written by WILSIE ELIHU WILDER. 25
