being- a Junior. He is from Georgia- Probably but a few know Wathan Ackerman, but if they did they would all like her as much as we do. She works hard to get good grades and always knows her lessons. Buford Webb coming direct from a Boy’s School had to get used to a place where girls were plentiful. This he did very readily and he is now one of our prominent stand-bys. Margaret Paine has only spent three years getting through High School and has artistic talents which she hopes to develop later. We all wish her success. Harold Trapnell has been with us for many years, starting down in the grades with some of us, and has always been an out-standing member. Gladys Knight has just realized what she has missed by not coming into our ranks until this year. She is from Bay View and is very popular with the stronger sex. Louise Aunspaugh has been a student in Clearwater Schools for the past four years and tho she is still young she has shown great ability whenever called upon to do her bit. We all know she will attain success in anything she undertakes to do in the future. Bertha Dunn is one of our girls who is always willing to do her best in all things. For four years she has taken part in our High School activi- ties. Formerly she is from our western state, Arizona. Robert Lee who waited until this year to join us has been in every way a jolly fellow. His main hobby is playing a saxaphone, and let me tell you, he sure can do that. Hattie Mae Bennett waited also till this year to be a student of C. H. S. and comes from Jesup, Ga. She has shown her good work and spirit as a forward on our Girl’s Basket Ball Team. Paul Ficht who was our Freshman President was also our Junior President and filled his place as well as anyone could do, has been a member of our Orchestra and has gained many victories as.Capt. of Basket Ball Team and playing Base Ball he can’t be BEAT. We all are proud of our “Senior Star.” Of course no one knew that the little blonde girl who stepped off the train one morning about three years ago would be Elizabeth Cornwell. But everyone knew it soon after she entered school, for she won a place in the Sophomore Class and has continued to hold it to the present time during all her years in C. H. S. Of course no one knows what she will do after she has completed H. S. but I believe every one could guess. Well, Lizzie, what- ever you decide to do we know you will make a success. TWESNTY-MNE

for our last time to be enrolled as students of the C. H. S. When we took our seats at the west side of the assembly, our class showed up better than any previous class had ever done. Basket Ball season brought out loyal Seniors, players and rooters. Both teams were practically composed of Seniors and they won a number of games to C. H. S’s honor. Our social events haven’t been as numerous as in the other years but they have been twice as good in the bargain. The juniors certainly gave us one grand time at the city Dock with a Hallowe en Pai ty. Then we gave them a first class old time picnic at Clearwater Beach, which I am sure was immensely enjoyed by every one present. But on April 6, the Juniors entertained us Seniors with a Reception at Sunset Point Tavern and you should have seen that menu. It was de- voured by every one present. This event was one of the happiest in our lives. Wh have been looked upon with almost disgust by those dignified Juniors, but we cannot help this for we were never meant to be dignified, and I verily believe that they will miss us when we are gone and I know we are all soiry to have to leave them. I know that we have all enjoyed our four years in C H. S. and will in later years, remember the many friends we have made here : As a class, we are united, And our friendships are so true, And our classmates are so loyal, Well, I’ll show each one to you- Margaret Mighell has been with us all four years in the Clearwater High School, is formerly from Iowa and she is one who has helped keep “pep” in our class. Every one likes hex and she tides hard to do hei best at all times. She was our Business Manager of Girl’s Basket Ball Team and Business Manager of our Reflector, also she is Secretary and Treas- urer of our class. Walter Thomas is what we all call a regular Base Ball fellow as he goes to every practice and plays 1st base. He is a mighty fine fellow in all respects. We have had the pleasui e of knowing him just one year. He comes from North Carolina. Jesna Mae Ward is from Dunedin, having been with us for two years, she has had plenty of time to get in on our good times and class work. She enjoys helping others and always gives us good ideas and a helping hand to our troubles. William Davis is a rather rushing fellow as he only had to spend three years toiling in C. H- S. for a diploma and going thru the anxieties of t i: ty-i : i ; i it

Richard Shoemaker has been one of our valued Presidents for two years as Sophomore and Senior. He has been a student all four years and has shown his ability to work. He has a talent for music. He is Editor-in- Chief of our Reflector Staff. Nina Lou Knight is another one of our “peppy” girls who is always ready for a good time and yet — she studies a great deal too. She was a very faithful player on our Basket Ball Team this year. She has been with us only three years and she comes from Safety Harbor. Marion Martin will some day be a famous lawyer we all know because he takes to hard subjects like “a duck to water”. He has been a class- mate of ours four years and he is Athletic Editor of the Reflector. Every one enjoys being a friend of his. Margaret Moore is one of those gifted girls who never says much but when she does it is worth while talk and not gossip. Margaret uses for her motto “work before play.” We have valued her as a classmate for four short years, and hate to part with her after this last year. Lester Plumb, who is a native son of our school, is the “liveliness” of our class- He can make anyone laugh by his witty remarks. Lester has made his fame in our High School Orchestra. Lucile Trott has been in C. H. S. for four years and comes from Cherryville, N. C. Lucile has been a faithful worker throughout her High School career. Robert Rhoden is another one who will be a statesman, lawyer or some great man some day. He can quote poetry or prose or anything you desire. There is hardly anything he doesn’t know. He has been with us for only two years. Freeda and Dorothy Grant are our favorite twins. Every one likes to know them and be with them. They have been through High School and are from Dunedin, and we will hate to say farewell to them when the time comes for us to part. Hilburn Blakely, who was a Freshman, Junior and Senior with us, comes from Safety Harbor, and time has been given to his studies. And we all suppose he will finally prove to be a Professor in some college. Amy Allen, one of our champion girls of C. H. S. has been with us all four years. She has always joined with us in all our joyous occasions and has worked for honors for C. H- S. as Capt. of Girl’s Basket Ball Team this year. Charles Nelson is our class artist, he can draw almost anything you Til Ill ' ll
