MARGARET IRENE WILKINSON A1 Peg!! General Course, President Trotty Veck Club, Basket Ball Team '23-'24, Glee Club 3 yrs., H Science Club, Wilson Literary Society, Trotty Veck Optimist reporter. Peg likes and is liked by everyone. She-'s one of our jolliest classmates, and possesses an admirable disposition-also a decided en- thusiasm for Problems of Democracy. As Trotty Veck President she's a wonder, and we learn that her ambition is to become a physical director-though she ha.sn't yet confided whether she will locate in Frenchtown or Avalon! RUTH LUCILLE WILKINSON Wilkie Academic Course, Valedictorian, Glee Club '23-'24, Trotty Veck Club, Blue and Gold Lit- erary Society, Basket Ball Team '23-'24. Wilkie received the honor of Valedictorian of the Senior class, just as we hoped she would, and who can say that her perseverance and ability did not deserve such a reward? Besides being our shining intellectual light, Ruth is a good fellow and another of our Basket Ball stars. Ever hear her chuckle? It's contagious. MARY WILLIAMS Academic Course, Wilson's Literary So- ciety. Mary is a shy little maid with big blue eyes and a smile for everyone. She, too, has be- come shorn of her locks since this picture was taken. Seems as if most of our class- mates were planning to become teachers. Mary will attend Normal this summer, and take a school in the fall. RUSSELL IRWIN WILSON HBUSH Commercial Course, Senior Basket Ball Team, Optimist Staff 1 yr., Blue and Gold Literary Society, Fire Team. Bus was the stock market wizard of the little city organized by the Commercial stu- dents. His success in Riverside points to a brilliant future in the land of business. He is another of our dark-eyed Sheiks, and is very much interested in a Junior maid who drives a Chevrolet coupe.

Here's Swanee, -the most popular fellow in T. H. S: He is '24's one big ray of sun- shine, and the liveliest Business Manager the Optimist has ever had. A glance at the above list of achievements will assure you of his popularity, hut, to really appreciate him, you must receive one of 'his famous smiles! WILLIAM MARSHALL TINSLEY --aiu Academic Course, Wilson Literary Society, Orchestra 2 yrs., Science Club. If t,here's anything Bill loves to do, it's ai-guiief' It doesn't matter whether the sub- ject under discussion happens to be Socialism, or the momentous question of depositing his chewing gum in the waste basket, Bill will not cease to argue until overcome by exhaustion. Besides possessing these unusual oratorial abilities, Bill is a splendid violinist. G. KENNETH TU LLOCH 5lKennyY! General Course, Science Club, Fire Team, Wilson Literary Society. Ken has never been known to keep quiet for five successive minutes-they say he even wakes his family at unearthly hours by hold- ing lengthy conversations with himself in his sleep. Ken is famous for his brilliant recitations in Problems of Democracy, and- sh! They say he is even occasionally seen es- corting the ladies homeward. HERBERT WHITING General Course, It Sutz-Us Literary So- ciety, Fire Team. Herbert hails from Cherrytree! He's the champion boy typist of the Senior class, and a regular ladies' man. Truly, Herb's great weakness is his fondness for the weaker sex, and we shudder to think of his future away from T. H. S. If he ever does enter the busi- ness world, we expect it will be as a sales- man for Davis Baking Powder.
