ALONZO FREEMAN “W it and wisdom are born with a man.’' No person is more reserved about himself and his artistic talent than Alonzo. But we are often given the pleasure of his wit and subtle humor. His careful deliberation before attempting anything and the thoroughness with which he does it are two of his outstanding charateristics. With one touch of his pen we have—presto—a cartoon! If Alonzo doesn’t succeed as a cartbonist, no one else ever will. Hi-Y, 3, 4; Secretary and Treasurer, 4; Art Editor of Year Book, 4; Art Editor of Wampus, 4; Inter-class Football, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 3; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3. “VEE The noblest mind the best contentment has.” Viola has been prominent throughout her High School life, but this year she was especially active. As Editor of the Wampus, Viola has done a great deal in building up the school publication. However, this is but one of the many things she has done for the school. She is an untiring worker, but still has time for lighter things. She was chosen the most popular girl in the class and you will agree that it was a good choice.

H. S. and 1928. VIOLA GOERNER MILDRED GOULD “MILLIE” “ Work first and then rest.” The author of this bit of poetry must have had “Millie” in mind. Her efficiency in commercial work has placed her in the demand of teachers and students. Her unselfishness is evidenced by the liberal sacrifice of her time. Tidy, accurate, and trim, you will not be surprised to hear that “Millie” has been voted the neatest in the class. French Club, 2 and 3; Girl Reserves, 1, 2; Office Force, 4; Championship Glee Club, 1; Typist, Year Book, 4.

FLORA EVERMENT “TOOTS” “Pep and fun and jollity, A happy personality.’' Here is a girl who is always in a hurry but finds plenty of time to do a favor for you. “Toots” has a jolly disposition and cheery way about her that is sure to keep her up in the big world outside. She has a flare for athletics and is interested in a number of worthwhile activities around the school. Here is a list to prove it: Girl Reserves, 4; Inter-class Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Inter-class Track; Forum, 3; Office Force, 4. FRANCES EVERMENT “FRANK” “Happy am I. from care I am free. K hy aren’t they all contented like me?” “Always in a hurry, but with a smile for everyone,” characterizes Fiances. She filled a niche left for her in the Class of 1928, and as a member of the Girls’ Inter-class Basketball Team contributed materially to its success. She did so well that she was appointed Captain in her Senior year. “Frank” has loyally supported her class and has more than done her share of the work which falls to the lot of Senior girls. Inter-class Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club, 1; Dramatic Club, 2; Spanish Club, 2, 3, 4; Girl Reserves, 2, 3, 4; Forum, 3, 4; Wearer of ’28. NATHAN FISHLER “NUT” “An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.” “Nut” is a quiet fellow, short in stature, but long on good nature. When there’s work to be done “Nut” is there to help in his quiet manner. His tenacity has enabled him in spite of all setbacks, to graduate with the class of ’28. This perseverance and hard work will help in all problems he has to meet. Interclass Football, 1, 3; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2.

MILDRED L. GOULD “MILDRED L.” “Discretion of speech is more than eloquence.” A certain quiet dignity in her manner gives “Mildred L.” an air all her own. Her smooth, unruffled disposition is an inspiration to those of us who go madly around trying to hunt up an assignment or find a club meeting. We have never seen her excited. Her unassuming demeanor and stateliness have won for her the title of the most dignified member of the class of '28. Office Force, 4. MARIA HANLON “MOLLY” “Silence is golden.” Until this year Maria has kept herself in the background, but her hidden talents were certainly brought to light when the play “Seventeen” was put on. Maria as “Lola,” seemed to live the part, and she is still Lola to many of her classmates. Her gentle and demure manner, together with her generosity and friendliness, have won her a permanent place in our memory. French Club, 3; Girl Reserves, 3, 4; Senior Play, 4. DAVIS HARBESON “BEEF” “ ’77s good to be merry and wise.” Isn’t it only natural that one of the best natured fellows of the class should be a Boy Scout? Every National Boy Scout Week found our “Beef” wearing his Scout suit to school in loyal support of his favorite outside activity. We still chuckle when we think of him as the humorous Genesis in “Seventeen.” He is still a devotee of Literature and he tells us he intends to become a journalist. We feel sure he can make good in that line as he has always been one of our best English students. Senior Play, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4.
