He is a member of the famous Rainbow Club, in fact he's president, vice president. secretarv and treasurer fso's Pnh Damel. He was chosen from the two other assistant managers to be manager of the Optimist. Really holding places of influ- ence such as these is recommendation for anyone but we must add that he is Presi- dent of the Dramatic Club and a most effi- cient actor. GEORGE K. ARMAGOST. Academic Course, Assistant Business Manager of Optimist '25, Associate Manager of Optimist '26, Vice President of Hi-Y, Basketball 24-'25-'26, Track '25-'26, Manager of Baseball Team '26, Fire Team '24-'25-'26, Science Club. Everybody knows George though there are lots of girls who would like to know him better, but George has been busy with Track and Basketball. Look at that record, three years a letterman in basketball, to say nothing of his track reputation. And with all these honors, not conceited. WILLIAM E. GRAFF. Commercial Course, Asst. Business Man- ager Ontimist '25, Associate Manager Orifi- mist '26, Senior Junto Club, Murphologist Orchestra '25, Inter-Class Basketball 3 years, Commercial Club, Fire Team, Steno- graphy Club. Mr. William Graff, called at different times, Gogo , Brick-top, Doke, some- times even known as Bill is one of that species known as school workers. He does his bit as Exchange Editor ot the Optimist and may be seen most anytime reading the Ompus Wampus from So Long Georgia, or some other such publication. Outside of this he really works hard on his Commercial subjects. WARREN T. DICKINSON.

Optimist Staff, Baseball Team, -Class Basketball '21-'22, Manager of t'Adam and Eva, Senior Junto Club, Debating Team. That list speaks for Dolly better than any words, but allow us just a little space to say how proficient he is in all of them. As Jervis of course he beat John Barry- more and at debating Cicero would have cringed to have heard him. He takes re- sponsibility and has alot of initiative, two qualities bound to make him a success. - ..,nnL..1 J!!! B17 Q In-un

Dramatic Club Plays, Clar- ence. and Junior Play Daddy Long Legs, Basketball Squad, Treasurer Trotty Veck, Science Club. Dramatic Club Vice President, Debating Club Vice President. Frances is one of the seven wonders of high school, to be very exact she is the whole seven. Almost anyone can be elected President for one year but when it comes to being elected again it takes a Frances Bryan to do it. And have you ever seen her act? She can go from charming young flapper in Clarence to a poor little orphan in Daddy Long Legs. It is because ot' Frances' untiring efforts that the Opti- mist has been as successful as it has been. WILLIAM ROBERT O'HARE. Academic Course. Salutatorian, President ot Freshman Class '23, Vice President of Senior Class '26, Science Club, Optimist Staff. Here you sec a. genius!

Always smiling and happy. A friend to all. You will make a wonderful teacher. VVe would like to be your pupils. TYRELLA FRANCIS.

nvXXVI OPTIMISTC ,- , ROBERT ALAN DAME. Academic Course, Class Donor, Dramatic Club, Dramatic Club Plays, Seventeen, Come Out of the Kitchen, Adam and Eva, Junior Prom Committee, Junior Play, Choral Club 2 years, Gypsy Rover, Hi-Y Club 2 years, Treasurer of Hi-Y Club '26, Science Club, Fire Team, Optimist Statf, Rainbow Club. The Dramatic Club under Miss Stewart's supervision has turned out some fine ama- ture actors in its three years of existance, but I am sure you'll all agree that Bob doesn't have to take a back seat to any of them. More power to you, Bob. Besides being an active member of the Dramatic Club, he has plenty of time to devote to the Rainbow and Choral Clubs. In fact he can do anything. VERNA LUCILE FOGELQUIST. Academic Course, Class Knocker, Opti- mist Staff, Basketball Squad '25-'26, Cheer Leader '25-'26, Play The Whole Town's Talking, Science Club, Dramatic Club '24- '25-'26, Trotty Veck '24-'25-'26, Junior Play Committee, Choral Club '24, Pep , did you say? Well here is a girl that's got a lot of it. She is a good sport, full of fun, happy-go-lucky. Lucile doesn't believe in worrying. Things will get done, or they won't, that's her motto. Lucile is going to be an artist, a sculptor, owner of a Modeste shop, a physical director, and a half a dozen other things. I think she will be an orator because she talks all the time even in her sleep. HOWARD M. LEVY. Academic Course, Class Prophet, Class Musician. Joke Editor Optimist, One of the Founders of Murphologist Club, Murpholo- gist Orchestra, Senior Junto Club, Fire Team, Business Manager Daddy Long- Legs . Business Manager Senior Basketball Team, Science Notebook Honors. Levy is known primarily to take the most advanced chemistry course and never cross a book. All recognize this as a wonderful gift and many go on the principal that they possess it also. Most of them get left but Levy doesn't. He always has the chemical goods so to speak. He can also tell you the scientific name for every bug which, of course, is a great consolation. LOUIS CALDWELL. General Course, President Freshman Class '20-'21, Dramatic Club '25-'26, Optimist Staff '25-'26, Orchestra. '20-'21-'22, Class Artist '26, Class Musician '26, Fire Team '25- '26. President Science -Club '26, Louis ear-to-ear smiling countenance and his everlasting wise-cracks are essential to the mirth of every class, club, or social gat- hering. His cartoons along with his ex- poundings as one of the Three Scientists, are well known to every person in T. H. S. If you -can catch him at it you will find Louis a very systematic and 'efficient worker. nv-IHM . xy , W W, 1 wi W w , 1-1-ww J.. .,,m1.''wllii 1- M 'Wir H! W Wi
