The Th?'OH iteesk iy 1Q21 RUTH BOYNTON “O fairest of the rural maids.” Ruth’s fairy like figure and curly bobbed hair make their tardy appearance five mornings each week in English class. Always with a look of innocent surprise, she wonders how we had the heart to begin without her. But when she does come, gentle and demure, everyone seems to realize that the baby of our class was w’ell vvorth waning for. In spi'e of her tender years, Ruth is a good classical student., and the be t cook in the Domestic Science Department. .TOE BATE “A man of brain and brawm.” Yes, this is he, Josephus Bacteria Pate, popularly known as the most loquacious member of the Senior class.

The Thronateeskay IQ21 HELEN WIGGINS “Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in woman.” We all admire what Helen does and what she is—one who never fails to uphold the dignity of ihe class. No matter what may arise for discussion or distraction, her serenity is unruffled. She is one of the rare Seniors who never raises her voice without saying something and her poise and gentleness are a constant marvel to the frivolous majority. Helen is often envied by the less fortunate not only because she cops a good supply of perfect marks in the classics, but she has naturally curly hair. Class President ’18. JOHNIE LEE WILLIAMS “Look for goodness, look for gladness, You will find them all the while.” A ray of sunshine can never be gloomy, and neither can Johnie Lee. From the first morning that she appeared in our Junior year, our class room has been a brignter place. She is a classical student, but specifically known as a “Math Shark” and most fluently does she “parlez vous.” Johnnie Lee’s third hobby is the art of expression. Page Twenty-three

The Thronateeska, IQ21 MAUDE KING “The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home.” Yes, Maude could have gone back to Louisville to graduate, but the A. H. S. still claims her loyal heart to have and to hold from this day forward. Maude is a capable, ambitious, painstaking student, and enjoys the unique distinction of being absent from school only one day in seven years. ’Tis said that the teachers retired in a body to the office to consult the calendar and see if it were not a legal holiday. Small winder that one so persevering should be so talented. Maude studies, is a member of the basketball team, sings sweetly and plays on the guitar. Vice-President Class ’18. President Class T9. Annual Staff '20. U. D. C. Essay Contest 21. RUSSELL BALL “Russ” “I know it is a sin for me to sit and grin.” A care-free, jolly sort of fellow, full of pep, and known among the girls as “the cutest boy” in tne class. If there’s a joke on hand, you can count upon it, Russ is in it—unless he can get out of it. His marvelous feats have often startled us. In basketball he is a flying acrobat, and in baseball he is greased lightning. Altogether, one of the swiftest fellows on both teams—and elsewhere. Russ can also wiggle his ears. Basketball '20, 21.
