GRACE MILLER Grace came to A. H. S. just this year, but by her charming manners and her happy disposition she has won a large place in our hearts. She is bonny and wise and good and gay, And her smile makes sunshine on a cloudy day. LOYD LOCKE If school opened at dawn, Loyd would be the first one here. She’s sincere in all her work, and it is nearly always perfect. Loyd is as quiet as a little gray mouse until she is asked to speak. “As mcdest as a violet sweet, In a messy, cool retreat.” RUBY HATTON Ruby is our poet, and we look for- ward to the day when she will be classed with Milton and—. She does not give much attention to boys, so we thought, but Christmas, when the A. M. boys came home, we found out differently. VERA TRUITT Vera is in for a good time and she usually gets it. Who ever found her Sunny smiles and corkscrew curls M:.ke such cute and jolly girls. BESSIE HEARN To us Bessie has been one of the greatest factors in the success of this year’s Senior Class. She is also very fond of keeping time. We call her: Our Spanish senorita, so fair and so She loves the man who throws the bull—the Spanish athaleta.

CARMALEET TIMS Carmaleet is the star of the Senior girls when she says, “Rufus, Rufus, I’ve been thinking,” in her very inter- esting and winning way. Perhaps she is practicing for the future years! She was dainty, modest, shy, and sweet, A finer Senior you rarely meet. RUFUS FREEMAN Like Bill, Rufus is an indifferent fellow. Among his pleasures are clerking, forgetting geometry assign- ments, and going with the ladies. As soon as Public Speaking class starts, Rufus begins his oratory. Everybody expects big things from him as he is a self-starter with plenty of gas. ELIZABETH BAZER The hairbrained chatter of irre- sponsible frivolLy is what makes Eb- bie so individual. She has good chances of being President of the Ladies’ Aid Society because of her large vocabulary. Ebbie’s text is very brief: “For men may come and men may But I go on forever.” VELMA SHAHAN Velma is one who fell for the shear- ing fad. She denies that her hair is bobbed, and says she only trimmed it. We love her for what she is, and what she is to be—a school teacher. LUCILE LOLLAR Lucile, the modest, the musical, the With her winning smile she has breken many a heart. Lucile is as pretty as her name, an 1 even Mr. Dudley did n:t feel offended when she took his fivc-dcllar goid- p'ece for winning out in the County in debate. 0

ROBERT YOUNG It’s a shame that Bob’s a boy, for he makes such a charming girl. His favorite game is “Socco,” but it seems that his favorite pastime is leaving Mr. McCarter’s Civics class by special request. Bob is among those who be- lieve “The glory of the present is to make the foot-feed feed. ESTELI WILLIAM SMITH William is another of our quiet, studious Seniors who go at their work conscientiously, working while they work and playing while they play. William is turning out to be a real author as he won the Flashlight for the best short story. Estelle is a happy go-lucky girl who is always on time to get her share of the fun; yet she is dependable, ready at all times to respond to a call for help, and willing to take part in any of the class ac ivities. CHARLES MILLER Charles has the distinction of tak- ing all the half-year subjects in school. He is also known as an ar- dent radio bug. His ambition is to work Hawaii on an amplifying tube, and to win a fair love. Walter McDaniel Walter isn’t so perfect in his studies, but he will always get through; neither is he a ladies' man, but he was seen making eyes at one of the school’s declaimers. Walter hasn’t a double chin, But he performs with skill on the
