ALECKO STUART EVERETT WOOD (“Lopv”) Athletic Association. “Hoo Hoos.’ Although Everett hasn’t taken much part in school activities, he lias worked hard (?) and has come through with flying colors. We really can’t imagine what Ir. Moncure would have done without him in Economics Class. A. H. S. has certainly possessed a prize in you, Everett, ole boy. We hope you’ll, have plenty of luck, and as many friends outside as you did in school. MARY MAGDALENE WRIGHT (“Maggie”) Pep Club. Spanish Club. Can you imagine Mary without her cheery grin? Some day we fear her face will actually split with its width. Can you im- agine the class of ’28 without Alary ? Can you imagine the whole A. H. S. without Mary? Can you imagine — no, don’t try; it’s much too hard. Alary is so sweet and always is willing to help you out. She has always managed to come out on top of every- thing. Good for you. Alary; remember, the sky’s the limit. HELEN LOUISE ZINK (“Zinky”) Domestic Science Club, ’26. Pep Club. ’26, ’27, ’28. Basketball, ’27, ’28. What would our basketball team have been without you, Helen? What would Domestic Science class have done without your giggle? It is hard to imagine! As a country-city girl, you carry off the honors. And don’t you love to eat — especially apples? W’e think you must have as your slogan, “An apple a day keeps the dcKtor away.” We wish you a long life and success in whatever you undertake, old girl. ■ 1 Page Forty-one ]|«-

CLASS PROPHECY Not long ago, Mr. Tavenner, a chemist of fame, Gave me a slee])inf ' jxjrtion — I do not knf) v the name. He told me if I to(jk it and went straight to l)ed, X ' isions of the Class of ’28 shonld jmss through my head. Of course, 1 was (juite curious to see what it would do, vSo I followed his directions and found that they were true. For as I closed my eyes and drifted into .sleep, Harrv Barnett was the lirst whom 1 happened to meet. This young man is the inventor great Of a wonderful compound — “How to Lose Weight.” His fame has grown both far and wide, Because the women are on his side. Hilda Lvnn and ' irginia Leary were the next whom 1 met. And whatever they want is just what thev get. These fair maids of ( )ccf)C[uan have acquirerl much wealth ; The former teaches school and the latter talks on health. IMary Buddin, still as in the days of yore, 1 saw quite plainly with her sweethearts galore. Edna Kennedy has married and settled down ; You can still meet her riding from the Camp into town. Kirk Lindsey and Gilbert St. Clair Are both mathematicians very rare. While Donald King and Everett M’ood .As actors are realK’ ver - good. Lester AIcAIenamin is quite a football star. And his name has traveled out afar. Billv Travers, too, has acquired much fame. In the game basketball he’s made (juite a name. Catherine Robey and Barbara Boat, sad to relate. Have realized their mi.stakes a hit too late. They marched down an aisle and under an arch To the tying tune of the Wedding Alarch. - [ Page Forty-three |l«-
