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.

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.

1928 The Echo Page 25 OSCAR MYERS Science; Declamation Contest ’27. Oscar is one of these dependable people who are really the backbone of Boyden High. This trait will bring him much success in life if he continues to develop it. INEZ OWEN General ; Girls’ Athletic Association, ’23- ' 28 ; Glee Club, ’27- ' 28 ; Orchestra, ’27-’28 ; Girl Re¬ serves, ' 26 ; Dramatic Association, ’27-’28. Nez”, as s he is known by her friends (and she has lots of them), is little but her dramatic ability covers it all. She has great ambitions to become either a famous actress or a prima donna because she has some talent behind her vocal cords, Nez” is the cutest girl in the senior class. BEATRICE PARKER Science; Dramatic Club ’25-’26; Photogra¬ pher’s Club ’20 ; Home Economics Club ’27-’28 : Athletic Association ' 26, ’27, ’28 ; Glee Club ’28. “Bee” is a combination of seriousness and mischief. When serious, she never lacks for courage to back her convictions ; when play¬ ing, she is original and entertaining. Beatrice has many friends and enters into everything with an enviable whole-heartedness and rare good humor. We wish you luck in anything you try to do. MARGARET PATRICK Science; Girl Reserves, ’2G, ’28 ; Dramatic Club, 27, ’28 Athletic Association, ’26, ’28 : As¬ sistant Cheer Leader, ’28 ; Photographer’s Club. “Pat is one of the most liked girls in our senior class. She is always full of “pep an d enthusiasm. When you need help, “Pat” is really a friend in need. She’s a good sport, a good student, a real girl. As to her future, we know that even tho’ she is now leaving a great many friends, she will always find others wherever she goes. FRANK PEELER Science; Glee Club, ' 28; Hi-Y, ’28; Chairman of 218, ' 28; Athletic Association, ’23, ’28; Class Statistican, ’28 ; Football, ' 27, ’28 ; Basketball, ' 28 ; Track, ’28. Frank is a true humorist. He is always sure to make some remark on class which greatly delights the other members. He is very popu¬ lar with the ladies ; in fact he is quite a heart- breaker. He has made a record to be proud of on the footba ll team. What a pity he centers his attentions on a Catawba girl.
