Surely T rudie has been all the medicine the class has needed for four years. She always has her gig- gles with her in fair or stormy weather, during holidays or exams. The A. H. S. will miss the sun- shine she always scatters and the giggles with which she punctuates the silence of study periods. ALTA WHITLEY. Speech is silver, silence is golden. This seems to be Altals policy. She is our small- est girl-physically speaking-but mentally, Alta is huge. Oh, how her wonderful geometry grades have been envied! V Great things are expected of Alta. May her efforts in life equal those of school life and her success be even greater. . Lois WATSON. Smilin' through. That short motto of Lois works wonders on her schoolmates. She always observes it. Maybe she smiles to show her beautiful teeth but maybe we would too if those priceless pearls were our own. Anyway, her magneticsmiles and sweet disposition have more friends for her that we will not attempt to number. T' MOLLY TUCKER. Happiness ischeaper than worry, So why pay the higher price. Molly is one of those girlsiwho believes in en- joying life, and overlooking the troubles which bob up daily. Well, maybe you think I care, says Molly when something goes wrong. That is exactly the way Molly feels about itg so she does just what she wishes to.. f ' Lois: 'fWhere did Victor Hugo? S Ruth: I don't know. Lois: I'll ask her. CAlaska.j I Pk T wk :x Miss Latta: Give me the 'Life of Julius Caesar'. . Mary Elizabeth: Sorry, Brutus beat me to it.

JIM F 0RREST.S A Nature was here so lavish with her store That she bestowed until she had no more. The Seniors are proud of Jim. He is our most athletic boy and at the same time the class baby. Jim is dramatic, musical and an all-round good fel- low. We aren't familiar with his plans for the fu- ture but, Jim, do your best in the game of life as you have in your High School games and you'll have nothing to fear! A , RANDALL BURLESON. Thou art to us a volume full of wisdom. A boy among the Seniors who attends his own business well and cares little for the affairs of others is Randall Burleson. He never fails to answer when he's called on tho', and we believe that his quietness is a sign of intelligence. r WATTIE BURLESONQS UM en of few words are the best men. In' Wattie the Seniors have their quietest and most bashful boy. But when History period comes 'round he comes from behind his screen of reserve and amazes the class by answering almost imposQ sible questions. We know little of his plans for the future but we are certain that success' will attend his efforts. g - U BRODTE HAT! ,EY. The eternal feminine doth draw us on. i Brodie is our sheik because in style and manner he merits the title. He was voted the most popular boy in the Senior Class, incidentally having the Cbiggest feetj firmest foundation. This past year he was president of the Student Council and presi- dent of Section II of the Senior Class. Keep it up, Brodie, fthe ladies like itj. S RUTH BARNHARDT. A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best ofimenf' ' A Ruth is another who came to join us in our last year at A. H. S. tWe're sorry she didn't come sooner.j But .we've learned to like her during these nine months. She 'usuallyis inclined 'to be rather quiet in a crowd, but alone '-with a friend' she's ex- tremeiy fun of lifel THORA FESPERMAN. Smile and the world smiles with y0u. l Say what you will about girls, however, the world would be a sorry place without them, and so we weep to think of this school without Thora. Her captivating smile has prevailed in all corners of the school. , Ach! what a yawning emptiness will be left when she goes forth to conquer the world. A BILL SNOTHERLY. Little but loud. Although Bill has only been in our midst during our Senior term, we have learned to appreciate his witty sayings andwill miss his palaver next year. V ERNE SNOTHERLY. Make yourself master of men. ' Verne's not an athlete like some of our boys, but if you want to see him shine attend the History Class I from two to two-thirty o'clock! Though handsome hels not the least bit conceited. We like him for he's an all 'round good fellow! MACON ROWLAND. A V Honesty makes the man. Macon will be missed by many when he leaves with his diploma tucked under his arm. Not the least of his activities has been the efficient manner in which he has carried out his duties as treasurer of the Senior Class. If he continues the good work he has started here, he is bound to be a success in whatever profession he takes upf - ELIZABETH SNUGQS. Not too serious, not too gay, But areal good wpal, in a real good way. Elizabeth, the wittiest girl among the Seniors has added much sunshine and joy to the class. On the rainiest and roughest days Liz wears 3, Smile and looks on the good side of life. 7 GRACE LITTLE. ' Deny it who can, l Q Silence in woman is like speech in a man. 'Although Grace speaks but little, her' words are worth hearing. She is very humorous, but seldom shares her wit with her classmates. ' MARGARET MCMANUS. Filled to the brim with personality. To say that Margaretis the most attractive in the Senior Class isenough. -She has' won many friends by her charming personality. 1 l l l f l TEN ll vp.-...,-up Y I , , A , P-.-QA..-V-. -- n.'4..,.

As I gaze into the fire watching the flames rapidly fly, I seelmy pupils one by one flit before me. They are quick and have the power of a giant. Somehow they are eleventh grade, faces that I see tonight: Bill's flirt of the head when I call on him to recite, Elizabeth's pleasing smile when I am reading something that she enjoys, jim turns off and gazes when I stop in the middle of a sentence because he is whispering to Mary Elizabeth, Thur- man crooks hiselbow and rests his head on his hand when we have an oral English lesson, Aubrey turns to one side and smiles when he reads the mistakes of his essays-4. But that reminds methat eleventh grade essays came' in today. I wonder what they did with that assignment., A V Connie's handwriting is A just like her. The whole essay is clear and neat with straight margins and 'accurate spacing. The steaming hot supper she describes is appetizing too, and once more I get to the end of the paper without having to make a single red cross in the margin. Curtis's essay comes next. I can't keep from laughing. My brain begins to pucker itself. I seem to see him writing the paper, picking up words, consulting the dictionary for big words and weigh- ing them in his hand, until .he gets that which he desires. Yet with all the care he has taken, there are many errors-an apostrophe omitted, a period for a question mark, and after all he has used the most extraordinary words. I am almost tempted to dip my pen into the black ink instead of the red. All excited, I grab the stack of papers. jim's paper is on top. AI like its fresh, boyish vigor, and there's not an error in it. Jewel's is next. I like the way it starts. I like the next sentence still better. Honesty is the best policy. I can see the characters in her story. The rest doesn't exactly measure up, but that one sen- tence makes the essay worthwhile. Then I smile broadly, for there is Irvin's spraw- ling handwriting on the page before me. I always f . I ll, DC be .Ty t 1 like to read his essays. But why should he write about a trip when I asked for something more defi- rite? I go. on reading when suddenly my imagina- tion stops with a jerk as stare at the well-known Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginian-written in lit- tle letters! There's,a beautiful simile later on that ,causesme to forget and forgive, and again I lay aside a paper that I have fully enjoyed. Margaret, Macon, Katherine, and Brodie seem to have misunderstood the assignment. For Mar- garet writes about the feasting on young monkeys in the jungles of Africaf' which I don't believe she has ever done. Macongwrites about the modern girl. Katherine writes about the newest method of curling hair. p Brodie writes about Student Govern- ment. Perhaps some day he will be governor over some one besides students. ,Other faces of my ,pupils come and go as the hours wear on, finally the glowing coals fade into ashes, and I go off to bed, hoping that dawn will bring a solution to my problem. A AMASIQUERADE. fLILLIAN EUDYJ In a small North -Carolina town, one drug store, one theatre, and one dance hall were-the onlygplaces of amusement for the younger set. Tonight was a great occasion. It was the night of the annual New Year Masquerade Ball. The weather was just as all the boys and girls had been longingifor-icold, a clear full -moon, a snow coverediworld. , -It was ideal. . . . Sue Webster was' a typical blonde, with short auburn hair and blue violet eyes, and a smooth deli- cate complexion. As she slipped her fancy costume over her head, her eyes flashed with anger, then she looked into her mirror and gave a chuckling, happy giggle. 1 - ' Maybe I am just afhigh school baby as Tom thinks I am, but I'm going to that ball! Brothers do make me tired when they go away to college! Why, last year Tomwas .delighted to take me to the Ball, but now-he acts. as if it were a social break to take his sister toia dance. He even drawled out .I-T-WELVE 1 ' 'ww-ug xi f 4'-' 1 ,phil .. ,. . . ., . . .. 11 - ,.. 1... - f, - - . 1 -, xvgy- rw-wig? QW .- '. -'K 'P' 'v -if 4 -v ' ' 7 - - ' .. ' , . ....- x, wi., l .
