'Et ff RUFUS MARVIN NANCY OLA 1-io1.1.13N JOHNNIE WYATT HUFFMAN JOHNSON Parts in Plays -- Deacon Dubbs, Rawtlon Crawley: A Poor Married Man, Billy: Atl- ventures of Grantlpa, Monte Ray. Kind, considerate, studious. and dependable, these and many similiar adjectives are necessary in describing the disposition and character of Rufus. His even and agreeable temperament wins the respect and friendship of all those who associate or come in contact with him, whether it be in school or in business relationship. In all school acti- vities you can rely on Rufus to do his part and when the teach- ers want anything done they do not hesitate to call on him. No mater what his vocation upon leaving school, we are conhdent he will meet with nothing but success. Twenty-six Assistant Manager Magazine Stand. '23'-24. D-e-p-e-n-d-a-b-l-e spell Ola. In this history we have a much deeper element to construe the meaning of. We can say that to help out our class in number and student qualities we were glad to count Ola among us at the beginning of the junior year from Dayton High. Ola is a modest char- acter, a good stidenl and a very bashful girl in company. We had very sympathetic hearts for Ola during exams in jun- ior year and if she studies ac- cording in Senior class we set aside a week of sleep for her beneht because that is equal to her loss. She has chosen as her vocation teaching school. We prophesy a brilliant future for her. Associate Editor, Aurora. '23-'24: Member County De- bating Contest '23-'24g Mem- ber Class Basketball Team '23- '24. Parts in Plays-My Irish Rose, Mr. Michael Pepperdine: A Scrap of Paper, Baron De La Glaciere. Johnnie entered our class in '23. His other high school days were spent at Lafayette, Ten- nessee. We feel gifted in hav- ing Johnnie in our class because of his athletic and literary ac- tivities. Although he was de- prived of a few weeks at be- ginning. we readily say Johnnie will malce his pass. When wanting anything explained, words spelled. or dehnition giv- en. Johnnie is the one called upon. ln choosing a captain for class basketball, none better than Johnnie could be found. We predict for him a bright future.

Ruby born and reared in Spring Creek vicinity was des- tined to B. H. S. '2l'-22. She entered as a sophomore 'coming from Dayton. All that seems to enter Ruby's mind is by hav- ing a good time, playing bas- ketball, and amusing the boys by talking to them. We be- lieve that Ruby never studies because if she did she surely would be one of the stars of the class. We expect her to be a professional athlete some day. She is expecting to attend col- lege in the future. Her pres- ence is usually detected by the peculiar laugh that she gives. County Tennis Contestant 'Zb- '24. Member Class Basketball Team '20-'2l. Member rlil'2lf x Team '22-'23, Parts in Play- The Junior. Edwaril Moore To study or not lo study, that is Ilia question. Joseph. better known as Boswell is one of the most popular of all the Seniors. His popularity can in large meas- ure be ascribed to his geniality and unfailing wit. Although he has an abhorence for all forms of study. Yet he oc- casionally delves into such ob- struse subjects as Physics and Geometry and astonishes both teachers and classmates. How- ever this propensity to eschew all subjects requiring hard study and close application, we pre- dict a brilliant future for him because of his musical talent. Show: My Irish Rose, Eileen Fitzgerald: A Scrap of F..1ner, Mlle. Suzanne De Ruse Jille. Another one of our blue eyed, fair haired girls is Lo- reen. Loreen is fun loving, amusing and always bright and cheerful. which is saying quite a bit. Her chief hobby seems to be to make other members of the class laugh when it is most necessary for she, herself, to keep quiet. After all this Loreen seems to get along ex- cellent with her school work. We rejoice in hnding among l..oreen's good qualities that quality of a poetic genius. .Al- though Loreen plans to teach school we believe we will had her some sweet, sunny day strolling the meadows of the Shenandoah Valley composing poetry on Nature's choices! sub- jects.

,-s i HAROLD GAINES KIRACOFE Member Class Basketball Team '23'-211. Harold is an indispensable member of the Senior Class for were it not for his humor and sunny disposition. the daily rou- tine of scnool life would prob- ably grow monotonus and con- sequently interest in school work might be slightly lessened. However let nobody infer from this that l larold considers study an a matter of secondary impor- tance for this would be far from true. Although he is es- pecially careful not to overtax his brain with such recondite matter as is found in Physics. On the whole he is as studious as the average Senior. ln addi- tion to his apparently inex- haustible supply of humor. he manifests remarkable musical ability and many society pro- grams have been rendered more interesting and entertaining by his vocal solos. We are sure he will make a success in life in any vocation he may choose. OLIVE. MARIA HUFFMAN Photoyxraph Editor, Aurora, '23'-Zftg School Pianist.. Olive hailed from Mt. Craw- ford junior High on one bright September morning to join with the number of forty-six who made up what was then known as a bunch of sophs. We were glad to count her as one. She mastered her subjects there very brilliantly with the exception of Algebra. When she entered upon that era familiarly known as junior Year was as we all know hard because of solving problems and eqautions. Un- fortunately Olive was unable to solve all the problems. Hence Olive is having a hard time as a Senior. She is striving on and on and is attaining a re- ward for striving. Olive is a cheerful bright and lovable character. She expects to teach school as her life work.

Paul is one of the most wide awake and energetic members of the Senior class. He is al- ways on the alert, whether it be in class work or in a basketball game and, what is of even more importance he always takes a sanguine view of every situa- tion that arises. no matter how discouraging it may seem and no doubt the secret of his suc- cess in everything he undertakes lies in the fact that he takes this attitude of Never Despairi' on all situations which present themselves.
