IRA PRATT Ira is a scream! With his flashing- black eyes and his solemn manner, he pulls his joke with flying banner! He is a favorite with all the boys and more than a favorite with the girls. MYRTH WILLIAMS Banish Melancholy by calling in Myrth and letang her tell you of Bil- ious Buxom Buttons. Whether she is a “kid” on Baby Day, or Queen Anne in the operetta, she is a delight to us all. Her golden head is like a ray of sunshine flitting here and there about the room. MILDRED LINKENHOGER That Mildred is very popular is shown by her being Sophomore Presi- dent, Kick-off for .he Juniors, Kick- off and song leader during her senior year. Mildred has always helped High School “pour it on ’em.” This little girl thinks it quite a Not to be having a jolly good time. JAMES KNOTT James is the “Mark Twain” of the class of 1923. We think that some day he will make his fortune by writ- ing “Innocence a! Home.” James is a regular fellow. DONZULA YAGER Her bobbed hair does not mean she is a flapper; she is everything that a flapper is not. Don is in her seventh heaven of delight when dancing, and we don’t wonder, for she is a second Irene Castle. 24

 WILLIAM GAVIN LOCKETT SHELTON “Ham” is fast and sure. He can spend ten minutes on a test, and then make 90. He is all over the cour. in basketball, and covers the whole out- field in baseball. Lockett is never too busy to speak, and never too mad to laugh. Here’s to him for a good coach. The latest fox trot is never too late for William. His ambi.ion is to be able to teach Diana how to trip over waxed floors without skidding. His red hair signifies ambition. His latest treasure is a bronze medal for de- clamation. CARRIE FATHERREE Carrie is another who came here for her last year’s work, and every day in every way we love her better and better. George says she is the only pretty girl in High School, but Carrie just hums her little tune, “Dub a Dub a Dub,” and follows the MILDRED CALDWELL Her thousand deeds of kindness, tne inward glow that illuminates her face and reveals the steadfast soul, her faithfulness in the discharge of her scholastic obligations—all these win for Mildred the approbation of her teachers and the admiration of her mates. CLARAMAYE COUCH Claramaye always manages to get her “finger in the pie,” and she cer- tainly believes in women’s rights. Her ability in declamation has made her Senior orator. She backs her school, class, and team, and always “pushes them over the top.”

LELAND COX Leland has certainly stood out “one among m: ny,” because of his quiet and unob rusive disp sition. If si- lence is gold, Leland certainly must own a bonanza. However, Leland can speak when he wan s to, as was shown by his recitation cf poems on Senior Day. GLADYS TRANTHAM Like Milton’s Mirth, Gladys is al- ways accompanied by Jest and Jollity. Gladys is thoughtful and true, and is a very sweet friend to have, but she is not to be had for the asking. It’s good to be merry and wise, It’s good to be honest and true. MILDRED WJGGINS Mildred is one of our most versatile Seniors. She is a debater, artist, so- prano, and even an actress. She makes a splendid mother-in-law. If you don’t think so, just ask M. C. Wright, alias Chief Powhaton. RUBY JEFFERIES RUTH JEFFERIES It is our opinion that there never lived a more unselfish girl than Ruby. In her we also find he unique com- bination of a pretty girl and cne who can make exemption grades in all her studies; this is a rare thing these Ruth grew into our hearts as she grew in knowledge and wisdom. Het red-letter day came when she was among the chosen few to represent A. H. S. at the Lions Club. Wonder if the Lions growled approval? I
