MYRTLE LEE JOYNER Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Glee Club ' 25, ' 26; Home Economics Club ' 26, ' 27; Cannon Literary Society ' 27. “Myrt” has been with us during all four years of our climb. She ' s just a carefree school-girl — can laugh with the happy and weep with the sad. She claims a good disposition, is attractive, and en- tertaining. She is always on the look- out for fun. A better sport is not to be found. We feel sure that she’ll succeed in anything she tackles. MYRTLE IRENE GOODNIGHT Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Cannon Literary Society ' 24, ' 26, ' 27; Ath- letic Association ’24, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; Glee Club ' 24. ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; Home Economics Club ' 25, ' 26; Commercial Club ' 27. If we ever got blue, Which none of us do, We’d all have to turn ' to Myrt, She ' s a friend beyond measure In business or pleasure, Always awake and alert. Myrtle is mischievous; she knows how to pull a joke, and how to take one. She ' d like to be dignified but nature did not will it so. Besides her winning ways, she ' s the prettiest girl in the class, a ' nd can really tickle the ivories. JOHN NELSON HALSTEAD Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ’24; Athletic Association ' 24, ' 27; Cannon Lit- erary Society ' 25, ' 26, ' 27. John — not Gilbert, but Halstead — is our most handsome Senior — our star of Holly- wood. He’s a star in more ways than one — in geometry and physics for in- stance. Some say he ' s cute, well, in fact he is. Popular? Uh-huh; good-looking? Yeh, boy; good sport? Why sure; all this and then some cause “Ladies Prefer Blondes. 21

Mary is the winner of our Popularity Contest, which proves that she is the kind of girl that every body loves. She is possessor of a sweet disposition, a graceful figure, a pretty face, a genial na- ture, and many hearts, especially one — ask Everette. She’s a good student, too. K. H. S. will miss her. Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ’24; Philomathean Literary Society ’25; Pres- ident of Class ’25; Cannon Literary So- ciety ' 26, ' 27; Pioneer Editor-in-Chief ' 27; Exemption from Mid-term Examinations ’27. We have enjoyed having Clarence with us during the entire four years at K. H. S. He is very popular — just before Geom- etry period especially. He is noted for burning the mid-night oil to get exempted from his exams. He really is our most intellectual Senior. MARY ETHEL FISHER Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Philomathean ' 25, ’26, ’27; Secretary of Class ’26; Glee Club ’26, ’27; Commercial Club ' 27; Class Prophet ’27. Here’s to Mary Ethel, one of our in- dependent Seniors and an A grade stu- dent. We often wonder why she is a star student, for we are sure her mind is not always on books. Even though her temper runs away with her sometimes, she has made many friends during her high school career at K. H. S. She is loved by all of her classmates. Our pro- phet is she, and we’re wondering what fortunes are ours. 20

LEO McCOMBS Philomathean Literary Society ' 24, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27. Speaking of girls? Yes, Leo is right there, and we don’t blame them for lik- ing him because he always looks like a dancing master. He really is one of our most handsome Seniors, but Leo is very modest and unassuming anyway. When it comes to books, History is his hobby, We are sure his winning personality will win for him scores of friends, and that his future career will be crowned with success and happiness.

An old saying is, “Beware of red-haired women, but in this case you need have no fear. Jen was voted our most at- tractive Senior. Who is any more at- tractive than she? All the girls envy her hair, even though it is red, and her eyes too. She ' s here, there, and everywhere, and if she wasn ' t — well, things jest wouldn ' t go. Jennie Reyn is very glad That Landis is so near, Because someone who lives there To her is very dea r.
