ADDIE COATS THELMA COATS Ask her another question, teacher ! You have heard of girls who are studious and witty, with always a jolly greeting for everyone. Well, that ' s Addie ! She studies, but also believes in taking time off to have her fun. Thoroughness seems to be her motto, and a pretty good one it is, too. How could our class get along without Thelma and her wit? She keeps us alive with her fun and frolic. Such a disposition as hers is to be envied. She never seems to get angry but takes everything in a happy-go- lucky way. When neces- sity demands, Thelma can turn quickly from one phase of school life to another and do all equally well. WILLIAM T. CREECH Billie made his debut in high school as Tom Saw- yer. Never will we forget how he did whitewash that fence! And we weren ' t sur- prised that his class won the prize offered for the best bit of dramatic art in the program. Courteous, friend- ly, sincere, conscientious, and a smile that is more than skin deep is Billie. ANNIE L. DENNING Annie Laurie is one of the sweetest members of our class as well as a splendid student. Her charming ways and sweet disposition have won for her numbers of true friends. We feel sure she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. At present she expects to be a teacher, and from our acquaintance with her we know she ' ll make a good one. L. M. DENNING Tall, well - dressed, and handsome. And along with good looks and the ability to study and learn goes a friendl.ness that is un- equaled. His popularity with certain girls in the senior class is conspicuous. LOUISE ENNIS Capable and good-natured — that ' s Louise. Wherever she goes she makes herself at home. She has made a place for herself here through her accommodating and generous manner. We wish for her the best of everything and know that she deserves it. ELSIE LILLIAN GRIMES A more loyal friend than Elsie cannot be found. For her grace and sincerity we love her. As assistant busi- ness manager of The Tatler and as a successful worker in other school activities she has shown herself to be a real go-getter. JOYCE CLEONE HALL Cleone is modest, unas- suming and unselfish. She has attained the goal of Seniordom by hard, earnest work. Her ability to do things well makes us feel that success awaits her. Truly she deserves the best.

Yes, Christine is studious, true, and faithful in her work. Her friendliness and other influential qualities would win a heart of stone. As president of the 4-H Club, secretary of the Beta Club, and a member of the bas- ketball team, Christine has shown that she is a good, all round girl. JEWELL BAZEMORE Our secretary is none other than Jewell, just a sincere, dependable girl. She is a kind, true friend, ever ready to help all who are in trouble.

MAMIE ADELL BYRD Mamie ' s winning smile and friendly disposition are something to be desired. Nothing ever seems to bother her. She calmly goes about her work doing what must be done without any apparent worry. And the fine thing about it is, she al- ways gets there ! MURIEL CLIFTON Beneath the quiet exterior which Muriel presents to those who are not privileged to know her, there lives a very attractive and interest- ing person. She is generous, kind-hearted, and unassum- ing. She gets things done without any noticeable ef- fort. MARY JOSEPHINE BAREFOOT Sweet and demure. Her calm diminutive beauty and her lovely disposition make Josephine the type of girl we all like to be around. She has played an important role in high school, and we shall always remember her as the girl with attractive eyes and a velvety laughter. VELMA BEASLEY Calm, unruffled, easy-going Velma. Generous, yes, a heart of gold is hers. She will go far, just as she has here, and we shall be glad to say We knew her. She believes When a task is once begun, never leave it ' til it ' s done. MILDRED BYRD She is a quiet sort of personality almost shy to strangers, but a warm friend to those who know her. And she has hosts of friends. Yet we know from observa- tion that when the time comes to speak, Mildred speaks up! NELLIE CLIFTON Nellie is just a grand ol ' girl and one of the most lovable in the Senior Class. She is ever willing to help any and all. When you have won her friendship, you have won something really worth- while. We predict for her much success and happiness.
