1928 The Echo Page 23 GEHRETTE McCUBBINS Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’25-’26 ; Debating Club, ’27-’28 ; Athletic Association, ’25-’28 ; Adver¬ tising Manager, Annual, ’28 ; French Club, ’26- ’27. The youngest member of the senior class is as wise as the oldest. Gehrette is not only smart, but she is very popular, having numer¬ ous “crushes”. It seems she fell hard on the Washington trip. Any way a Lexington car is often seen sitting in front of 1013 North Main Street. We wonder why. IRMA McCURDY Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28, Secretary, ’24- ’25 ; Debating Club, ’27-’28 ; Big Sister, ’27-’28. Although Irma is very quiet, she is good in her studies, and in music. She is one of the hardest workers in the senior class. Irma is good natured, even tempered, and is a likeable girl. All these things make her a dependable and trust worthy friend. EARLE MILLER Science; Wrestling Team, ’24-’25 ; Orchestra, ’25 ; Dramatic Club, ’25-’27 ; Lighting Director, (Dramatic Club), ’26; Athletic Association, ’24-’28. “Beak” is one of our oldest members.He has almost won the title of “The Perpetual Senior”. Beak takes life easy—no worry at all. That must be his route to the fountain of youth. We often wonder if he has a monopoly on the cornerstone in front of Main Drug Store. WILLIAM MILLER Science; Basketball, ’27; Football ’27, Baseball, ’28 ; Athletic Association, ’24-28. “Bill” is not a lady’s man but he is good in athletics—baseball and football being his fav¬ orite sports. “Bill” is one of the quiet boys in the class but that does not keep him from making good in science. He will not need a typist when he becomes a busines man because he has both speed and accuracy himself. MILDRED MISENHEIMER Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28, Treasurer, ’27- ’28 ; French Club, ’26-’28 ; Nurses’ Club, ’28 ; Athletic Association, ’26-’28 ; Big Sister, ’27-’28. Quietness personified ! Mildred is known by her ability to take in knowledge where others have given up. Her words are few and rare, but when she speaks, everybody listens. Mild¬ red is a mixture of soberness and gayety. She is a jolly good fellow to have for a friend.

Gentlemen and ladies both prefer blondes. Avis is a general favorite among the members of the class. She is gifted with a charming personality and an everlasting flow of poetic phrases. The Echo is fortunate in having such talent among the seniors. BERNICE LYERLY Latin ; Glee Club, ’24-’25 ; Class Volley Ball, ’24-’25 ; Class Baseball, ’25-’26 ; Big Sister, ’28. Bernice, one of our new comers, is one of the most law abiding seniors in the class. Her gentle manners cause her to be liked by every¬ one with whom she comes in contact. She is quiet and studious but always ready for fun. MABEL MARSH Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28 ; Girls’ Council, ’26-’27, President, ’26-’27 ; Home Economics Club; ’26-’28 ; French Club, ’27-’28 ; Marshal, ’27 ; Athletic Association, ’24-’28 ; Big Sister, ’28. Mabel truly upholds the dignity of the senior class. Everybody likes her because of her winsome personality. Mabel’s report card also shows splendid grades. She belongs to most of the outstanding clubs of Boyden. We hear that she is getting quite a rush from the owner of a Chrysler roadster. MARGARET MARSH Latin ; Girl Reserves, ’24-’28 ; Athletic As¬ sociation, ’24-’28 ; Dramatic Club, ’27-’28 ; Na¬ tional Honor Society, ’27-’28 ; Treasurer, ’28 ; Big Sister, ’27-’28 ; Debating Society, ’27-’28 ; French Club, 28 ; Latin Club, ’27 ; Glee Club, ’28 ; Girls’ Council, ’26. “The most precious goods often come wrap¬ ped in the smallest packages.” It doesn’t take long for Margaret to change from a solemn thinker to a laughing joker. Margaret is one who takes life easy, and is always ready to have a good time. She has a pleasing way about her that has won her many friends throughout the school. VERONA MASSEY Science; Athletic Association, ’25-’28 ; Girl Reserves, ’27-’28 ; Big Sister, ’28 ; Manager Class Basketball, ’28 ; Class Volley Ball, ’27 ; Manager Class Baseball, ’27. Verona is the wittiest girl in the senior class. She is always ready to tell or hear a good joke. Her many friends think that there is no one like Verona. She is good in her studies and in her club work. Every one likes her.

Page 24 The Echo 1928 ZEDA MORGAN General ; Most Studious, ’28. Zeda is a quiet student and rarely has any¬ thing to say. However it is worth one’s while to look at her report card. This shows she has a good record. Zeda was voted the hardest worker of the class. By her determination, she will win a name in the world. LESTER MORGAN Science; Football, ’25-’26-’27-’28. Lester and his car are two of the standbys of Boyden High. Altho’ not as brilliant as some when it comes to books, Lester rates high among the students. Not only the students but the football team will miss him next year. ALFRED MOWERY Science ; Football, ’25-’26-’27-’28. Alfred looks so much like Baxter that we sometimes don’t know which is which. He is a good athlete especially in football. History is Alfred ' s favorite study and he makes good in it. He is a good all-round student and is liked by everyone. Although he is quiet he makes many friends and keeps them. BAXTER MOWERY Science; Freshman Football, ’23 ; Hi-Y, ’23- ’25 ; Athletic Association, ’24-’28 ; S’thlete Club, ’27-’2S ; Varsity Football, ’26-’27. “Bax” was one of our best football players. When basketball came along he helped keep the players on that team cheered up. Because he is a good sport and always ready for a good time everybody likes him. HAROLD MYERS General ; Dramatic Club, ’27-’28 ; Basketball Squad, ’26-’28 ; Declaimer, ’27-’28 ; Dramatic Club Play, “Seventeen” ; Gypsy Rover, ’27 ; Senior Class Play, ’28. Our “Prince Charming” is a fine actor, but evidently something has happened since mid¬ term that gives him that dreamy look. Maybe it’s because Martha left. Harold is a general favorite of the senior class, and an important figure in dramatics.
