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

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

FAYE CRAIG “Connie Feigh” is an all-round good sport, full of “pep” and enthusiasm. She is an ardent advocate of football, dancing, and swimming. Her highest aspirations are to play jazz and to learn to dive gracefully. DONNIE BELL MANLEY Donnie Bell’s avocation is talking in class. We refer you to Miss Clack for proof. She is always jolly and full of “pep.” Her classic beauty is envied by her less fortunate classmates. JOHN CLARK John is one of the lucky ones that get a seat in the first row in the S. H. thereby being able to lean against the wall and survey his neighbors. John should train to be a prize fighter, as he surely showed up well during the Christmas holidays. MONA FAYE ROBERTS MARY GALBRAITH Mona Faye is one of our industrious Seniors. She was so confident of her ability to make the work and gradu- ate with the class, that she remained out of school one term to rest. Her highest ambition is to major in Home Economics in C. I. A. and teach in A. H. S. Black-eyed Mary, Quite contrary with all your many beaus, Flirting, smiling, time beguiling, Nature made you so. Too much study makes you moody, Phantom of delight, How do you slip the notes you write?
