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.

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.

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.

THETTA MATTHEWS Jolly Thetta—the perfect pest! She enjoys making someone laugh in his- tory class more han she does eating chocolates or hot tamales. Her chief occupation during the fourth period is throwing paper balls at Coach. Wise and witty—different from the Of all the Seniors we love her best. PATTY JO RIDENS Patty Jo is as cute as her name. Her favorite sport is hunting—what? raons, and she is interested in the col- lege in more than one way. Patty believes in getting things And she’s always ready to have HATTIE LUSBY Her faverite indoor sports are danc- ing and keeping dates. We venture she is good at both. If Hattie could take her car to heaven, it would be chuck full of girls, for she is always ready to take anybody anywhere at any time. From here Hattie goes to C. I. A. EL«LA MAE MABERRY ATHA PORTER Ella Mae came to us from Sweet- water High. She is one of the charm ing products of the West, but she really belongs to us now. She has such a lovable disposition, sunny smile, and fascinating way that we can do nothing but love her. Atha sounds like a name that came from a novel, and Atha herself is fair enough to grace the pages of the best novel that was ever written. She makes an adorable baby, as was proved on Senior Day when she lug- ged her doll back and forth through the classrooms.
