‘ ‘A lovely lady , garmented in light from her own beauty ” MARION F. GLYNN “Tootes” Normal Course Glee Club, 4; Junior Dance Committee Marion, “with her pretty curls,” has ever been a favorite and one who has been envied among the girls of our class. “Tootes,” as we hear she is called outside of school, has al- ways been a popular young lady at dances. No dance is quite complete without Marion, as the boys will testify. Marion’s fun doesn’t end outside of school for she has her share of good times in school as well. Especially does she enjoy the exercises after second period, and we grieve to say many times she has been caught in the middle of some exercise not called for. We, at first, thought school would be rather hard and dull for her after 1919 left, but she evidently has reconciled herself to her lot. Marion has long wished to be a nurse, whether she will now take up this work is not known. It is the earnest wish of her class-mates that her chosen profession may prove congenial to her. 29

“ Blessing on thee little man” CARROLL GIBBONS “Gibby” Orchestra; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Dance Committee. Wouldn’t it be terrible of us if in writing about Mr. Gibbons we substituted an “isn’t” for an “is.” We would have something like this. He isn’t popular. He isn’t witty. He isn’t fat. He isn’t talented, etc. The list would reach from here to Baneo. For a young man “Gibby” in class presented about the larg- est, most comfortable appearance we ever saw. When called upon it took him about a half hour to use another half hour to get through recitation and an hour listening to the answer of his teacher. Oh, Yea! Yea! With Miss Kent, Carroll was very popular. We’ve heard she frequently called upon him in German. But outside of the fact that “Gibby” was somewhat of a “grind”? and almost ran away with “high honors,” he was a “reglar feller.” To mention Carroll’s ability as a pianist is a bit superfluous. He has gained wide recognition and in the pursuit of the study of music we all feel his success is ultimate. 28

“To doubt her fairness were to leant an eye, To doubt her pureness were to leant a heart” FLORENCE GRIFFIN “Flo” “Griffy” College Course Manager Girls’ Basketball; Dramatics, 3; Senior Play; Junior Prom Committee Florence, the girl with the dimples, breezed into Clinton High School four short years ago, with a broad smile on her face that made us forget the heat and dust of the September day and the awful complications we got into when we endeavored to register in the annals of the school. And, though, with the rest of us Florence has her ups and downs in school life, she still manages to look optimistically ahead. And who knows what Florence may as she looks ahead into future? She as a nurse in a s nowy-white uniform bending over the cot of some unfortunate (?) patient. Quite a different role from the one we saw her in, in the Senior Show. “Flo” made a dashing young widow whose stunning appearance and personality outshone the young debutante to such an extent that the latter was cheated out of one of her admirers. Florence is what some people term an enthusiast; for every- thing she does is done with a vim, — witness those exciting basket- ball games in which she participated. We hope that when we clan together in future years, we’ll meet Florence on the top rung of the ladder of success. 30
