FLOYD MACKEY Floyd, our famous cartoonist, decided he could spend his time to more advant- age somewhere elseg so he up and left us. STEWART NOLAND g'Pek is as silent as the Egyptian Sphynx. lt has been rumored that he has the big head, but those who know him know that this is not true. He believes in deeds and not in words as shown by his record in athletics. True worth is in being, not seeming? MARGARET WATTS We would give '4Tootsie,' another name. lt would begin with P- Why? Be- cause she was manager of the '6Army,' in the fall and manager of the MNationals,, in the spring. Popularity is thc word. JOHNNIE OSBORNE Johnnie is a born mathematician and leaves us all in the shade when she begins on her angle O equals 2 rt. angles. She leaves behind the memory of a good friend as well as a good student. CECIL BOLES MTenflat came from Gordon to Abilene to finish his high school life. He is a splendid athlete, as his nick-name implies. He is ambitious to care for some of the nationis forest reserves. There will be no need for worry about the preservation of our forests when Cecil is on the job.

DOROTHY WRIGHT Dorothy is very apt in making her grades reach the A mark and letting peo- ple know that i'Gray is her favorite color. She finishes Expression this year as well as High Schoolg therefore we predict hers to he a brilliant future. LUCILE WINSHIP The role of Goddess of Liberty befitted her wcllf' Though a goddess, Lucile has won the friendship of more of us mortals than she can count- We think her far more beauti- ful than the famous Venus, more clever than the ensnaring Juno. The Romans WAUNITA ROBINSON might envy us our goddess, but we wouldn't give her up for gold. LAWRENCE WRIGHT Lawrence is a typical son of the Gold- en West. The themes born in his bril- liant mind have made for him many good grades in English. He is a good athlete and his style of oratory makes him a de- light to the Public Speaking class. PRENTISS MAYFIELD We are all proud to have '4lVIonsieur Mayfield as a member of our class. His favorite word is By George. I guess it helps him to get good grades on his re- port card. Prentiss will probably develop into an explorer: he has such a tendency to look into everything. Waunita has made many friends by her happy smile. She is very fond of read- ing poetry and washing dishes. We do not know whether she will teach English or work in a chop suey joint. MSkinnie is gifted with wonderful power to inter- pret music.

MAE HOLT Mae has a tongue with a kick as strong as home brew and a mind of an extremely original turn. With her brown eyes she could draw 4'iron tears down Pluto's cheek, if she dared to, but Mae does not delight in sobstuff. She has brains and a wealth of wit, She is bright and clever but not eoneeited BEATRICE DODSON Beatrice is the envy of us all. She makes grades that would make Socrates sit up and take notice. She is a born musician, playing anything from Chop- stioksi' to Sonata in Cf, She has a beautiful voice that will probably charm large audiences some day. ri bit? CLAUDE GENTRY One of the squarest boys in High School -liked and admired by the boys, loved and adored by the girls. Of this splendid football, basketball, baseball star, let us say: Darin is husky, good-natured, a crack ath- lete, He wears Hspeelrsi' on his nose, and num- ber 10,5 on his feet. HELEN STRIBLINC When strangers see Helen, they im- mediately ask, 'SHOW in the world does she fix her Helen, and as she does Helen's Helerfs hair that way? That's just she does everything up just her hair-in tiptop fashion. meek, Helerfs sweet, modest and discreet. CLYDE PRATT The clever blufferf' although a new fellow among us, has made a name for himself in athletics as well as in English. The service that he has rendered A. H. S. on the field will never he forgotten.
