Keep on going, “Jenna,” and you will stay at the top. BETTY VIRGINIA BURTON “Bet” Lee Literary Society, 27, 28; Athletic Asso- ciation, 26, 27; Spanish Club, °28. Betty is very quiet and dignified, and we can picture her now in a “Spic and Span” white uniform nursing some millionaire’s son. We all thought Betty was a saint, but one day we didn’t have any teacher in History Class, and oh boy, how she did throw chalk. Best o luck, “Bet”!

LENA RIVERS CRAWFORD “Trixie” Athletic Association, 26, '27; Lee Literary Society, ‘27, '28; Spanish Club, °28, °29, Lena is an honest and conscientious student. She is one of the few girls in eur class who really knows something about Math.

She is quiet and studious, athletic and reserved. Good luck to you, “Little Amy”! MILDRED BROWN DAWSON “Milly” Basketball, ’28, °29; Lee Literary Society, 28; Spanish Club, °28, Vice-President, ’29; Librarian, ’28, ’29. “Milly” is one of our best athletes. Al- though she has not been with us very long, she has won many friends by her sweet ways and pleasing personality. She js one of our great humorists—and by her “acrobatic con- tortions” she almost forces us to believe that our ancestors hung by their tails from trees. ELSIE ELIZABETH EADES “Squelsie,” “Elsie Jane” Assistant Editor-in-Chief Nuntius, 29; Sec- retary Class, °29; Student Government, ’27; President, 29; President Spanish Club, ’27; Jefferson Literary Society, ’27, ’28; Historian of Class. “Quiet in appearance with motive unknown.” Elsie is one of the few people who possess the qualities of kindness, studiousness, deter- mination and high scholarship. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to her class- mates, and is much admired by her class as well as by her teachers. LENA MAE GLASS “Tena” Athletic Association, 26, 27; Jefferson Lit- erary Society, ’27, 28; Spanish Club, ’28, ’29. Lena, the penman of her class, is a conscien- tious worker, goed student and a true friend. She is always ready to lend a helping hand. Although quiet and reserved, Lena has the characteristic of making friends easily. 11 = A = = : = = Ae A. gO GOO Ce 0 OO COS ag an Ag en ag en La ne ee ig ng ng ng an ig Nn ig, Ca ig, on i, ms i, lig, ne Ne Sore, Co Soe, a ree, a Se, a Sire, oo Sr, ee ee, Lira, Li, a Sa a . « an? 9% lm a FOF Fe OF OM OT FO a ie ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee Oa) FT ed Le EOL oT oe oe Ee oe ed ED Ee EO EE eT OI 4 e d ¢ � 4 b @ b @ b é , = . nererwrwrererewrecece PIUNTIUSG « j wr rr rr ret _ , ' 4 “ 4 � LOUISE JOHNSON 4 “Red” ' Basketball, °28; Lee Literary Society, °27, . ‘28; Athletic Association, °26, ‘27. “ a Although “Red” is her nickname, it does 4 not interfere with her sweet and kind dispo- sition. Louise is quiet and has a very dig- nified air, and every one of us is proud to claim her as a friend. Here's wishing you best Tuck in your future life, “Red.” RICHARD HADEN LANE “Dick” Athletic Association, 26, 27; Football, °24, 25, °26, °28; Basketball, °26, °27, °28:; Jefferson Society, 27, °28; Athletic Editor, °29. “Independent, full of fun An athlete liked by everyone!” Dick is an all-round good sport, humorous, athletic, mischievious and studious. This last virtue, absolutely self-cultivated, not innane, speaks well for his determination. “He determined no longer to shun it, He said he would study, and ‘done it’.” HENRY CLAY MORGAN “Ben” Basketball, °26, °27, '28, °29; Football, °27, 29; Baseball, °26, °27, °28, °29; Jefferson Lit- erary Society, ‘27, °28; Athletic Association, iG. Ad, “A good old pal in every way, Lazing around the whole darn day.” Clay has numbers of friends among both boys and girls on account of his cheerfulness and good disposition. Judging from his high school records, he will some day be an athletic coach in one of our large colleges. MARY OLA MORGAN “Merry” , Treasurer of Class, '28, °29; Jefferson Lit- erary Society, 27, °28; Treasurer Spanish Club, °28; Athletic Association, °26, °27; Basketball, 29; Track, 28; Snapshot Editor Nuntius, °29. Mary is one of the few members of the Class of °29 who has been with us all the eleven years of school life. She is a hard worker but she finds plenty of time for fun. Her sweet disposition has made many friends for her. Mary is a good sport and a faithful supporter of her class. “Mary, Mary, slightly wary, How does your avrage grow? Just Science enough, And a little old bluff, To make them believe | know.” i a FF a OO FQ Ow ewe Ow Soa 7 @ Oxf 9S . ee a a ee oF aD ee el? ee? ee? ae? a? a” ? a | — a Pe ae a ie ie ie bd bed bed Bad iad Bad od pad iad ek pk, ed ek, ee, ik, ed : pererererererererere UNS. errr ethene b) y § (@ S . é ¢ DALLAS JOSEPH OGDEN ° y wert: 4 ‘ Baseball, '27, °28, °29; Basketball, ’27, ’28, ( y 29; Lee Literary Society, ’27, ’28; Track, °28, N °29; Athletic Association, °26, °27; Football, p; ) 28. ) @ “Pert,” one of the twins of our class, a 4 b) good athlete, always' wears a smile on his (§ Cd face, and his hands in his pockets.

Well, whose illustrious name is this that we see?’ Of course, you know it is Anne, one of ) ai 7 « “a ”) the brightest and cleverest girls in our class. With her gay disposition and love of fun she makes a most amiable companion, and as a leader, she’s a “wow.” RALPH SHRIVER “Rastus” Athletic Association, ‘24, 25, °26: Football, 24, °25, °26, °29: Student Government, President of Class, °29; Assistant Business Manager of Nuntius, ‘29; Basketball, °29. “Rastus,” the President of our class, has not been with us long, but we have discovered many good traits which are characteristic of him. He is sincere, dependable, good-natured, full of fun, and a good athlete. 99 LEONA FRANCES WALDEN “Lona” Track, °28; Lee Literary Society, ‘27, ‘28; Athletic Association, 26, '27; Spanish Club °29; Advertising Editor of Nuntius, °29. Leona is one of the prettiest and most attractive girls in the Senior Class. She is always smiling and bubbling over with fun Her winning personality has made friends among both pupils and teachers. VIRGINIA FRANCES WILBURN “Jinny” Jefferson Literary Society, 27, 28; Athleti: Association, ‘25, 26; Spanish Club, °28 Now I ask you confidentially, “Ain't Jinny sweet”?

Vv 4 As we assumed the dignity of Freshmen, we found that from the entire class, N the following eight had entered the first grade together: Sarah Virginia Burnette, 4 (@ Bessie Carr, Mary Morgan, Elizabeth Price, Anne Shawen, Jessie Stoner, Leroy , b Meachum, and Frank Frazier. To these others had been added each year until we (@ s were thirty happy Freshmen waiting to be initiated into the ways of High School ) y life. In the year of 1926, the timid rats, having safely come through the hardships 0 y of a Freshman Class, were changed into self-assertive Sophomores}; To the number N ) of Sophomores were added Leona Walden, Leta Adams, Amy Dalton, Alexander 6 ?) Withers, Bettie Burton, Elizabeth Pote, and Dallas and Doval Ogden, handsome and p) b) smiling pair of twins. 6 d In the following, our Junior Year, only one new pupil, Mildred Dawson, joined p) � ) us. In the spring the Annual Junior-Senior Picnic was given, and it was in every ) ¢ way a great success. The year passed quickly by as the Juniors were looking for- 4 é ward with pleasure to the senior year. 4 � ) We, the Class of ’29, began our Senior year with the same record of studious y ¢ habits and good behavior that has been ours for the past three years. In the Senior ) , year, three more pupils filed in with us as Seniors: Richard Lane, Clay Morgan, ( NN and Ralph Shriver, and a few having left us during our first three years in High y School, we were only twenty-one hard-working Seniors. The following officers were 6 ) elected during the first month of the session: Ralph Shriver, President; Elizabeth p) ¢ Price, Vice-President; Elsie Eades, Secretary; Mary Morgan, Treasurer. (4 b) One of the most successful events of our Senior year was the “Class Supper,” p ¢ which took place in the Fall. Relying upon the co-operation which had always 9 y) existed between our class and the faculty, we decided to put out an Annual. Our V4 f Editor-in-Chief and the rest of the Staff worked together faithfully to make the y Annual a success. 6 N We wish to record our appreciation of the helpful and sympathetic aid of our P (d High School teachers who are at present, Mr. Childs, our principal, Miss Phillips, 9 � Mrs. Arthur Rowbotham, Miss Roby Newton, and Mr. E. FE. Trent. Ps 9 We have come to the end of our High School days, and we are now looking 9 s) forward to the greater achievements and opportunities which will follow in future 4 s life. y —Etsie EApes, Historian. 6 , @ @ b) p (@ § b) 15 ?

Anne Shawen timidly came first: “Oh, I see you a young lawyer; and yes, I see a young man, athletic, fairly good-looking, successful in business; he wears glasses sometimes.” Elizabeth Price—“I see you in an office very soon—just a year; you write on a machine—then five o'clock; and some one is saying, “Where is Harry’? ??” Dick Lane— “Your hand shows that you will be not only successful in business but also in love. You will train prize-fighters as an avocation.” Louise Johnson— I see a red head in a white cap; you’re wearing a white dress. Yes, it’s a hospital. You're happy. You help people.” Leona Walden— You're like the red-headed girl. Yes, you’re a nurse, too; take care—you must not smile so at the young doctors.” Virginia Wilburn— “You are troubled. You want to be an interior decorator, yet you seem to have a leaning to soda fountains.” Ralph Shriver—“I see a well-dressed young man, seemingly prosperous. Though I can’t tell what you are going to do, yet what you do, will be done well.” Betty Burton—‘Here’s another nurse. If you faint during the first operation there will be some one to catch you as you fall; and then—maybe you may catch him!” Amy Dalton— A large girls under you, and you are doing well.” Elsie Eades—“A young woman speaking and teaching a dificult subject— Yes, ‘Latin’ they call it. You will be an instructor in a large college in North Carolina.” (We late why she went to North Carolina to teach instead of staying Virginia? ) Clay Morgan—‘Walking around, hands in your pockets, you seem satisfied. What your business is, I can’t tell; but you appear to be making good.” Elizabeth Pote— I see you driving around in a nice-looking car. Oh, yes, you have come to the office to bring hubby home.” Lena Crawford—- You will make queer drawings on the blackboard as you teach. Then there will be lots and lots of figures. But you are happy and successful and your pupils understand you.” 16 a?a3 e%2% 2 2 2 22 2% 2% 2% 2 2 Yo 2 12 eo % soo 2% 2 a2 ” , 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , s , 4 ’ 4 , . , s , = S — — t ao —_ = is 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , 4 , ‘s id 4 , s , 4 i h Oe ae ee i i i a be ah nh by bh he he bh by hy hy be by by by hy hy bh a bh hy by hy Dy a le 7 lé Pe Wa Lae Wa Sg ae Se ig ae ne net fluntius Mg. en hie nie ne nae nig, hie, me ong, te Cele Dallas Ogden—“I see a big place and thousands of people.

Then she prophesied: “That other boy didn’t make a homer; he struck out, but you came to the bat and knocked the ball out of the lot.” Mildred Dawson— You have a nice job; not too easy, though. You teach girls how to play basketball; you show them how to run and jump. I see you with a large class in a big institution.” Alex Withers—“You are climbing poles like a monkey. Now you go into a big hole in the ground like a groundhog. You are stringing wires. Presently you will be in a big office and on the door will be written: ALEXANDER B. WITHERS CONSULTING ELECTRICAL ENGINEER and many people will come to you.” Lena Glass—“Your fingers look as if you could write beautifully. You are going to make use of this and will be a successful business woman.” Mary Morgan—“Young lady, I don’t know just what your hand shows; but even if you don’t earn your own living, don’t marry, for I see a dark-haired young many who)... -. .

The first important event of our Senior year was the Senior supper which was given October 19, 1928, for the benefit of the Annual fund. This supper called for a great deal of hard work but we were all willing and glad to help—especially during school hours—although the dish washers, floor scrubbers and silver polishers had the greatest amount of undesirable work to do. As a result of our efforts and the co- operation of our teachers we took in the neat sum cf seventy-five dollars. Our class was also well represented in the play, “Cool Knights,” given by the Library Association in the fall of °28. All this year we have been busy getting the material ready and having our “Beauty struck” for our annual, which we hope will be a success. We have selected for our class play a three-act comedy entitled “All on Account of Polly,” and we are kept busy rehearsing.

Airs ao Mitprep Dawson The play is the story of the wealthy Beverly family of Long Island, New York, who think that money is king until Mr. Beverly’s ward, Polly Perkins, comes to live with them and reforms them. Her estate of $25,000 saves Mr. Beverly from ruin when his creditors fail to accommodate him further. In the end everything turns cut all right with two happy couples, Baldwin and Polly, Hortense and Peter Hartleigh. We are all looking forward to our annual Senior Picnic. Nothing more exciting thus far has happened to the Senior Class, and we are steadily working to obtain the skin you love to touch and possess—the sheepskin. —SociAL Epiror (VIRGINIA BURNETTE). 33 e e 4° Fe ee ee Le ee BO ed ed ee te De ee ee oes te eT ee ee ee te ee te Oe i oe ee ee ee BDVBLQ®BLVBGLVBLUBLPVARGRUBARUGRUBDLUBSLIBGRUBAUBAUBARVUIDI DID LVSDV SIA DUS nararererererererece PIUNTING «60 cr er creer crest , � ¢ s . , ‘ ‘ ’ , s ‘ , 7 ‘ . , 4 s . ’ Md 4 . : ; o 4 . ; 4 4 ‘ , sd 4 [S f ‘ The School Song , . , 4 y Sing we to our dear old High School, y ’ 5 © 8 .

A beautiful gift for her graduation a chest... steeped in the romance of the past DOWLING % i . , £ - DOWRY GREE S fT by LANE The design of this chest reverts to an old dowry chest said to have been used in the Court of King James I in about the year 1620. According to the story, one of the court attaches, a Sir Henry Dowling, had one daughter whom he loved very dearly. This daughter, Amelia, had been sent to aconventon the continent. When she was ready to return toEngland,SirHenry, in true fatherly fashion, desired to com- memorate her home coming with a gift. So he called in the artisans and he ordered them to make a chest which should surpass all others in beauty. He selected the wood, watched the work step by step, and finally when the chest was completed, nobody in all the Court had ever seen one lovelier. Amelia came home. She accepted the chest with heart overflowing with joy. And, according to the story which ends just as all such stories should, she mar- ried, settled down and lived happily ever after.
