Olje Annual Athenian MARTHA GRIFFIN “Martha Jane” “Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that speaks and eloquence of eyes.” A penny for your thoughts. Martha is always dreaming. We wonder why. Her thoughts are usually up on Mile Hill. Martha is pensive, studious and sedate. Record—Peripatetic Club '26, Le Cercle Francais ’26, Girls’ Athletic Assoc. ’24, Philomathean ’26. EDITH HINE “Hinzy” “I love tranquil solitude And such society as is quiet and good.” Dignified? Perhaps she is, but Edith is always ready for a good time. Edith has many good qualities. If only we could catch her without her dignity we wonder what we would find. Record—Chorus ’23, ’26, Operetta ’23, ’26, Girls’ Athletic Assoc. ’23, Peripatetic Club ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26, Philomathean ’26. MARGARET KEELER “Margie” “They are only great who are truly good.” Margaret believes that “silence is golden.” Even if she does you never saw a more conscientious worker. We are sorry that she didn’t join the class sooner. Record—Peripatetic Club ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26. MARION KINGSLEY “Polly” “ ’Tis good to be merry and wise.” Marion is very modest and self-reliant. She is another one of the members that didn’t join the class until this year. Record—Peripatetic Club ’26, Chorus ’26, Operetta ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26.

ol)e Annual ZAtl)enlan PETER McCABE “Pete” “The world is good and the people are good, And we’re all good fellows together.” Fun and sleeping are his habits. His motto is “You’re never young but once” and he believes in enjoying himself while he can. Record—Football ’25, ’26, Basketball ’25, ’26, Forum ’26, Baseball ’26, Chorus ’26, Football Cheerleader ’26. GEORGE MERITHEW “Solomon” “A careless song with a little nonsense in it now and then, does not misbecome him.” George is the personification of a jolly student. George’s motto is “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may die.” Record—Football ’23, ’25, Track ’25, ’26, Baseball ’25, Sect. Debating Club ’26, Pigskin Chasers ’26, Pigskin Chasers Circus ’26, Athletic Assoc. ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26, Operetta ’26, Chorus ’24, ’25, ’26. HELEN MESSNER “Helie” “Hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, Therefore let us be merry.” Helen is one of the best-natured members of the class. No one could ever be quite like her. She is her own parallel. She is full of fun and believes that “all is well that ends well.” Record—Freshman Court ’24, Committee Social Affairs ’24, Girls’ Athletic Assoc. ’23, ’24, ’25, Chorus ’23, ’25, ’26, Operetta ’23, ’25, ’26, Sophomore Hiking Club ’24, Philomathean ’25, ’26, Peripatetic Club ’26, Track ’23, ‘24, Uke Club ’26, Le Cercle Francais ’26, Supreme Court ’26. AGNES MIDDAUGH “Aggie” “Although on pleasure she was bent She had a frugal mind.” There’s always a place for that old saying “Good goods come in small packages.” It certainly fits here. Agnes is a promoter of high school activities. There may be lots of pretty girls, but only one can capture Jimmie.
