Verne Reed Mathue Vearn Rede, our honorable president, is a particular favorite of Miss Purvis. He is one of the many musicians in High School, and may he seen most any Friday morning in literary swallowing his big trombone. He is a great advocate of good “rhodes.” He joined us in our Junior year, but since that time has risen to the highest office in our class. He is a very quiet person, but, when once acquainted with, proves himself to be exceedingly jolly and good-natured.

Marjorie Allen When she speaks, she thinks we have but to obey—but do we? Marj. has had the honor, during most of her High School career, of being connected with our famous orchestra. She shone very brightly in the Senior benefit, and we wonder if her aspirations will lead to the footlights. In “Giggles” and Marj. we have an excellent example of “before and after taking.” She is a faithful adherent to the rules of the “Looking Glass Fussers,” but, on account of the “brevity of the subject” and the height of the mirro: s in B. H. S., we wonder how she keeps up her persistence. John Greer “Come back, John! Come back, John! How often have we heard Mr. Irvine in Latin class call Rocco back to earth from his wanderings with the Gods. John has a keen appreciation for our faculty (?) We expect to find him in future years a soldier boy, as his chief ambition is West Point. John is a critic of gills’ fashions because he is so observing, and his motto is, “Never miss anything.” But, with all his faults, Johnny is very clever and has become very popular with the girls on this account. Lillian Gregg Here is the coquette of our illustrious class. We think that the School Board should extend Li 11 a vote of thanks for saving the High School by keeping “him” so late. Just think, the poor little Fieshies might have been without a temple of learning if it had not been for the hero, Willis. Lilly’s industrious spirit showed itself when one day recently she came to school with her apron on. For this reason we have concluded that she has decided to join our “matrimonial circle.” Emerson Brown Thou wert made to rule (? ?) Bing has adopted as his motto, “Pleasure before business,” and for this leason has earned the title, P. M. B. (Paste Master of Bluffing). He is the dean of the Magnet staff, since he has been business manager of the Magnet for two years. He is a lady’s man and very seldom misses any of the dances. His vocal ability has been made use of in the High School chorus, and he was also a valued member on our class basketball team.
