vihc.il hall GAY DAUGHERTY Columbian Literary Society Orphean Choral Club. '22 Who says there is nothing' in a name? A look at Gay would convince any one that a moie befitting name could not have been given her. Gay is very fond of reading. Yo library is large enough to satisfy her passion for books. The time she doesn’t devote to literature is spent in arranging her hair. We can hardly think of Gay without curls. Columbian Literary Society Football. ’21 Basketball. '22 Quiet as a mouse is Virgil. This recent arrival is always ready to do his duty when called upon. Virgil is very tactful. It is related that when he was asked how much were two and two he replied, It depends upon what two and two you mean.” HAROLD O’NEIL Excelsior Literary Society He came into the class eight weeks late. Yet “our genius” bad no difficulty in overcoming this handicap and always finds time to doze in study hall. In a few years we have no doubt this young man will control Australia, Asia, Europe and Africa. During his leisure hours he could dictate the foreign policies of Mars and Jupiter. He considers a text book on the theory of relativity as light reading. 26

CARL NICHOLS President. Columbiai Society, ’21 Basketball Reserves, 21 “Where there's a will there’s a way. is Carl's motto. Is there a doubt, then, as to what kind of a lad lie is? Carl likes to understand a theory deeply, and studies and questions about it until he does. What then would be his best course in life? Why to be a lawyer and to become a great judge. Then he will revise his motto into: When there’sr a will there's a law suit.’ LYNN SWIG HR Chairman Engraving Committee Excelsior Society Lynn is tall and fair. His1 blue eyes seem to denote sirfeerity and truthfulness. He is studious yet we can predict no intellectual future for him; rather he will become one of the most prosperous farmers of the state. On the vear book staff Lynns services were invaluable. FKUN OIMN.UJT Orchestra Columbian I.iterary Society Fern has light hair and blue eyes. Her motto is “Let’s eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.” She is very fond of company (especially from Adams-ton) and one can always find enjoyment at her abode. Fern possesses wonderful musical talent, anti with her charming personality we feel sure that the lime is not far distant when she will be assured of a permanent audience, even though it be small. 9 ■25

ELIZABETH ADCOCK Columbian Literary Society We think that “dimples would ! ■ a i jore appropriate title for such a merry lass as Elizabeth. She is very industiious and to prove it she jumped from the Sophomore class to the Senior. Elizabeth loves geography a.nd is well acquainted with the longitude and latitude l such important cities as Red Poj Arkansas; Medilin. Columbia and Jonzilo, Madaga car. MILDRED BROWN Excelsior Literary Society Orphean Choral Club Filing Committee, Chronicle Millie is an “A” student, gentle as the whispering wate.s. But how about study hall the sixth period? The poor child is so studious yet the girls will not be puiet. She can not only make A” on her studies but is an expert in manipulating the powder puff. CLYDE BARNES Baseball. '20 Football, 19 Basketball. '19. ’20 Operetta. '20, '21 Could anyone im.igine that a demure young man like Clyde loved to tease the gills? And yet it is true, although we did not mean to tell it. To offsot this one little fault he has so many good qualities. It wou'Jd be an arduous task to surpass him in hard work and deep thinking and when it comes to experimenting with electricity he i.s a rival of Benjamin Franklin. 27
