PRESTON CLYDE MCCUTCHEON -feud Academic Course, Pres. Athletic Association, Seek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Glee Club 1 yr., Hl-Y Club, Orchestra 1 yr., Optimist Staff 1 yr., Treasurer '20-'21, Senior Basket Ball, Fire Team. This is Bud -musician, professional dancer, ande one of the most popular fellows in T. H. S.-in fact, there's no end to Bud's accomplishments. Though the members of the fair sex are frankly enamoured of his charms, Bud doesn't mind in the least-sad to admit, he rather enjoys their hero-worship! ADELAIDE L. MacMlLLAN llAdU Commercial Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., Basket Ball Team 2 yrs., Captain Basket Ball '23-'24, Sec. Athletic Association, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Athletic Play, Trotty Veck. This is Ad, Captain of the girls' Basket Ball team, and one of the best sports we've ever known. Where's Art, do you ask? We exerted every effort, but to no avail-it wasn't possible to have 'em photographed together! However, wherever you see Ad you may be sure Art isn't far off! LINDELL LEONIDAS MONTGOMERY -'Lim' Science Course, Science Honor, President Science Club, Fire Team, Seek and Flnd Literary Society. Everyone likes Lin, and he's a perfect wizard in Science, or in fact anything he un- dertakes. Proof? He captured Science honor though only having been with us two years. So modest and retiring is Lin that he refused to assume the weighty responsibilities of Senior President, and only agreed, after much urging, to accept the office of Chief Executive of the Science Club. Some of the girls think Lin a woman-hater-but then, you never can tell! MILDRED LEE MYERS Billie Commercial Course, Class Prophet, Glee Club '22-'23, Blue and Gold Literary' Society, Trotty Veck Club, Optimist Staff Typist. Billie is our tall, stately senior, but some- how everyone seems to get her confused with the P. G. of the same name. She is our class prophet, and say! Wouldnft it be nice if some of her prophesies came true? Not all of 'em of course, for that would be a calamity! Everyone likes Billie !

HELEN RUTH KENDALL Snook Academic Course, Latin Honor, Class Donor, Sec. and Treas. '23-'24, Dramatic Club, Dra- matic Play Clarence, Optimist Staff 1 yr., V. Pres. '21-'22, Student Council '20-'21, Blue and Gold Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Snook is one of our most popular mem- bers, and studious? Well, it must have taken a little effort to walk off with that Latin honor. We'd like to describe in detail a certain famous trip which Helen engineered to French- town-and the results, but that was a long time ago, and really Ed is all that counts now any- way. - CHRISTINE B. KERR Chrissie Academic Course, Optimist Staff '23-'24, -'ek and Find Literary Society, Science Club, Trotty Veck Club. Chrissie is the maid who is allways carry- ing a pile of exchanges under her arm. She is a True Blue pal, and has a wit equal to that of Mark Twain. Chris is never seen alone, for she draws friends as a magnet at- tracts nails! Then too, Chr'issie's giggle is one of the things that made T. H. S. famous, and her weakness for chocolate milk-shakes- and a certain Sheik, is far-famed. EDNA OLIVIA KERR Chuck Academic Course, Glee Club 1 yr., Blue and Gold Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Olivia is a jolly little maid who is always in exuberant spirits. She's studious, too, and never came to a class without having her lesson well-prepared. Chuck, too, decided to take the fatal plunge, and as a result, appeared one morning in the Senior roll-call room shorn of her locks. And it looks too cute for any- thing as the girls exclaimed. ANNA MARIE LINDEEN uAnne1v Academic Course, Science Club, Seek and Find Literary Society, Trotty Veck Club. Anne isn't shy-just sort of quiet-that is, in a crowd- But when you get her alone, you'd be surprised! Those who have the privilege of knowing her well say there's no limit to her conversational powers, and her retiring manner is only a deceiving mask as- sumed during school hours.

GERTRUDE LUCILLE NELSON ul-ou!! Commercial Course, It-Sutz-Us Literary So- ciety, Trotty Veck. Lucil1e's the sort of classmate of whom we expect someday to say proudly, She gradu- ated with '24. Why? Well, she's just that kind of worth-While girl, She's a friend to everyone, and happens to be endowed with a large quantity of good humor which she uses to good advantage. DOROTHY OLIVE PASHNICK unotls General Course, Wilson Literary Society. The little borough on the hill surrendered Dot to us for our last year, and we are tremend- ously grateful. She is a petite maiden, un- deniably attractive, and the possessor of a pair of very snappy black eyes. Dot has made many friends since joining our incomparable class, and we all like her-especially the male faction! MARY EVELYN PA-RKER Hpollyll Academic Course, Salutatorian, V. Pres- Blue and Gold Literary Society, Glee Club '23-'24, Dramatic Club, Trotty Veck Club. Mary, or Polly as she is affectionately called by her host of friends, is one of the sweetest lassies of T. H. S. She chums around with Wilkie, Chuck, and the other Mary -and to prove that she's as industrious as her chums, most all of whom received honors- please note that she is our Salutatorian. Short and sweet is our Mary-but most especially sweet! IDA DENA PHILLIPS Commercial Course, Glee Club 2 yrs., lt- Sutz-Us Literary Society. If you hear someone exclaim, Oh give me some -candy! you may be sure Ida is around. She is never seen without a 'bag of chocolate drops bulging from her coat pocket, and she's generous with 'em too! Ida has a great big smile, and she's just as generous with that as with her candy.
