MYRTLE HOBGOOD Myrtle is a girl worth knowing. She is kind, generous, fun-loving, capa- ble, a friend to everyone, and an indispensable mem- ber of our class. Her personality reveals loyalty to her friends. Her great visions and high ideals for the future inspire us. To know her is to love her. HAZEL JOHNSON When you think of Hazel you think of chemistry. With her ready grin and her friendly hey, Hazel has carved herself a definite place in the school. No problem in chemistry or in mathematics is too hard for her to solve. With her knowledge and goodness she should get what she wants in life. LORRAINE JOHNSON If you are looking for a quiet, sincere girl, one on whom you can depend and know that you will get the best, just turn to Lorraine. Her lovable disposition and winning ways have won for her many friends. She be- lieves in that old saying To have a friend is to he one. WOODROW MASSENGILL Woodrow, one of the quietest members of our class, is very studious and serious. His musical nature sometimes shows itself in bursts of song. His ability as a bus driver is well known. When you think of one who is always prepared and ever ready and willing to do his part and who is dependable and capable, you immediately think of Woodrow. ERNESTINE JOHNSON To be greeted in the hall by one of Ernestine ' s cherry hellos is something which brightens you up for the rest of the day. She is musical, she is artistic, she is athletic. Because of her kind, understanding, gentle manner, and school spirit, she is a good pal to have around. Well-dressed, neat, demure in manner, always in the foreground because she belongs there. JULIA ROSE JOHNSON Dependable — that ' s , Julia all over, and steady too, not without a shy sense of humor and an always ready store of sympathy and under- standing. She is good in everything she undertakes. In her efforts to help in all senior activities this year, she has been outstanding. Julia has shown to us that On the tail of perseverance is tied success. DORIS E. LAMBERT Little but loud is our own and original Doris. Her opinion is received on every- thing. She is generous and full of fun with a real cordiality of spirit that is refreshing. As class treas- urer, she has proved herself capable and efficient. Her energy, loyalty and her pushahility make her the perfect henchman to put things across. RIFTON McLAMB Rifton has character and personality. This is well il- lustrated by the many of- fices that he has filled. As an athlete he is foremost in our class. He wields a wicked hand when it comes to scoring in basketball or making home runs in base- ball. Stick to it, Rifton, and you might become a professional one of these days !

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.

RUBY LEE McLAMB Full of fun and life characterizes Ruby Lee. She may be full of joy part of the time, but her nature is to be serious sometimes. In everything, she is always willing and ready to do her best. If smiles would get you to the top, Ruby Lee would be tops. IRENE REGISTER Tall, friendly, and attrac- tive — that ' s a picture of Irene. She has gone about her work with a gay laugh and a good word for every- one. In economics and sociology her superiors are none and her equals are few. At all times we have found Irene conscientious, responsible, and sincere. SARA LOUISE RYALS A cute, dainty, graceful little senior is Sara. She is happy-go-lucky and a jolly good sport. Sara deserves and receives the respect, ad- miration, and love of all. Her blonde curls, her stylish air, and her striking ap- pearance make her one of the most charming and beau- tiful girls of the class. DELAIRA SURLES Her eyes sparkle and her conversation fairly bubbles with ready wit. She lightens our spirits and relieves our loneliness with her gaiety, yet she is a serious student and a valuable friend. Capa- ble — that ' s why she is busi- ness manager of The Tatler. Consecrated to duty, there ' s not a better worker in everything than Delaira. Little in stature, but good as purest gold. JAMES F. PEACOCK Honesty, sincerity, and many other characteristics are possessed by Jimmy. The Tatler staff could never have selected a more capa- ble editor-in-chief, and, as president of the Beta Club he presides with dignity and poise. When it comes to debating, Jimmy is right there, too. He has an abun- dance of contagious enthu- siasm for school and all its activities. EMILY CAROLYN ROSE Carolyn is one of those girls with whom you will enjoy being around. If you really want a sample of her wit, be with her when she has on one of her loquacious spells. Full of pep and vivacity, good - natured, wholesome, fun-loving, she has quenchless enthusiasm for everything life affords. MILDRED STEPHENSON Although Mildred has been with us only one year in high school, she has gained the friendship of everyone with whom she has come in contact and has shown herself to be a hard worker with plenty of ability. Mildred, it did not take very long for your unselfish and attractive personality to make a deep impression upon us. We really do like you! ANNIE E. STEVENS Quiet and sincere and with a retiring sweetness, she also has the quality of stay- ing in the background and yet accomplishing a great deal. She is dependable, steady, and always willing to help. Her loyalty and generosity alone would cause her to deserve the finest life can give her.
