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.

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

EVERETTE RANDOLPH McKINLEY Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ’24; Vice-President of Class ’24; Athletic As- sociation ' 24, ' 25; Varsity Basketball ’25, ' 26; Captain of Football ' 25, ' 26; Philo- raathean Literary Society ' 25, ’26, ’27; Treasurer of Philomathean Literary So- ciety ' 25. If it has anything to do with the girls, Everette is right there. He seems to know all about this subject. But that isn’t all he knows; he can play football too. In fact he knows a lot more than you would think. We all think he is good looking, especially some folks. He is also noted for his lovable disposition. Indeed, he is the kind of fellow we ' d like to loaf with — honest, sincere, open-minded, and generous. A1LEEN MOOSE Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Glee Club ' 24, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; Cannon Literary Society ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; Chairman Program Committee Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Athletic Association ' 24, ' 25, ' 26, ' 27; Class Poet ' 26, ' 27; Home Eco- nomics Club ’25, ' 26; Commercial Club ' 27. You ' ve heard a lot about pep, haven’t vou? Well that ' s Aileen all over. Skinny is just a bunch of enthusiasm and pep tied up together with a few brains. She ' s not lazy or shiftless, but believes in, Never do today what you can put off ' til tomorrow.” Without her ’Boat, we ' d more than likely drop ex- hausted by the wayside. She ' s our life saver. She ' s always kicking but not the way you’d think, just the Charleston. ANNIE PEARL MOSER Phi Kappa Alpha Literary Society ' 24; Class Treasurer ' 25; Program Committee, Chairman Cannon Literary Society ' 25; Class Poet ' 26; Athletic Association ' 24, ’25, ’26, ' 27; Cannon Literary Society ’25, ’26, ’27; Glee Club ’24, ' 25, ’26, ’27; Critic of Cannon Literary Society ’27; Secre- tary and Treasurer Glee Club ' 27; Treas- urer Class ’27. Annie Pearl was voted Best all- around in the Senior Class, but she should have been voted Best-all-around in the whole school. There is not a bet- ter booster, a cuter, a more attractive girl, or a better sport to be found in school than she. Her talk is worth listen- ing to, her laugh is worth hearing. She has a charm about her that is irresistable. She’s always in for everything — and how she can sing! A humming bird should envy her voice. We hope Annie ' s future will hold for her much happiness. 23
