,-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.

'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.

HAROLD SAMUEL STELLA MAE MILLER LURTY RUSSELL MILLER MILLER President Junior Farmer's Clulu '23-'24. l'larold's distinguishing char- acteristics are a love of fun and gayety, an amiable disposition and a mysterious ability to ac- quire knowledge with appar- ently little effort upon his part. l-le is at all times cheerful and optimistic and to this fact. no doubt, can be attributed the seeming ease wih which he mas- ters even th most difhcult sub- jects. Even hnal examinations-the mere thought of which causes the average student instinctively to shudder-do not produce the slightest feeling of apprehen- sion in him. Possessing these qualities, all of which are absolutely essen- tial to one who would succeed. we can safely say that l-larold's success in whatever he under- talces is practically assured.

Stella entered B. l-l. S. in the year l9l4. Her greatest am- bition is to do something to malce this world better and be kind to other people. Stella is modest, of a very lovable char- acter, sweet tempered, obedient and you may always be sure of Stella lending a helping hand when needed. Lurty, although inclined to be reserved and ditlident, and consequently rather hard to be- come intimately acquainted with once you really learn to know him you cannot help but admire his honest and sympathetic na- ture. 4 l-le excels in no particular subject but shows much ability in all his studies. l-le squan- ders no time, nor can it be said that he is guilty of practic- ing procrastination-the stu- dents' commonest curse. He sets a good example for all those of the Senior class to follow by his lpunctuality, his diligence, and his abslute reliability. - Certainly with all these ad- mirable qualities, together with his high ambition and undaunt- ed determination. we can rest assured that he will obtain that position in the business world which he so justly deserves.
