“ A daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair.” MADELINE HOYT CHILD “ Maddy ” “Maggie” “Peggy” Basketball Team, 3-4; Hiking Club, 3; Junior Prom College Course Birthday: April 24. Favorite occupation: Arguing her exact height. Favorite expression: “Very collegiate.” Favorite drink: Gingerale with ice cream. Favorite song: “Maggie, Yes Mam, Come Right Upstairs.” Maggie stepped into class one morning during our freshman year, and has been stepping right along ever since, — yet why shouldn’t she? She represents the girls of ’24 at all the dances, and is always sure of having a good time. A story went around one day that “Maggie” would like to be a clerk in Brockleman’s. Well you never can tell! Stranger things have happened! And say, I almost forgot, “Peggy” is some basket- ball player. You know, — she is just the right height for a center and has it all over her opponent, for she can tap it right over her head. “Maggie” often said that she would like to be a dancer and we’re sure if she ever should take up that profession she would be a grand success. “Maddy’s” plans for the future are a little vague, but we know whatever she takes up she will just come “smiling through.” 23

“ Such a one as everyone should wish to be” FLORENCE MARGARET CARLSON “Flo” “Flossie” “ Peggie ” “Maggie” Glee Club, 1; Mandolin Club; Vice-President of Hiking Club, 2-3; Reception Committee Junior Prom Commercial Course Birthday: January 6. Favorite occupation: Getting acquainted with the “mail.” Favorite expression: “Eli never tell.” Favorite drink: Chocolate soda vanilla cream. Favorite song: “Maybe.” Now you’ve come to the first of our red-headed girls. Have you ever danced with her? If you haven’t you’ve missed it; you just feel like gliding all over creation when you’re with her. If you want to know any of the latest steps — just ask Flo. Perhaps that explains her fondness for Lyonhurst — and perhaps not. Florence is always ready for anything new, especially a new word when she is in a class. How often have the rest of us poor mortals sat in a class with her and heard her rattle off words we’d never even heard of. But the secret’s out — digest a corner of your dictionary each night. One day however it went too far, when reciting the Pendleton Civil Service Act she couldn’t remember the name and gave a guess Promenado. It “donned” on Flo then that it was well to get all of a name not merely the initials. During the very last weeks of school, Flo decided that she would rather touch fractions and decimals than pound a typewriter. We know she will succeed so, best of luck, Flo! 22

“ Seize time by the fore-lock RUSSELL EDWIN COBB “Ty College Course Birthday: April 20. Favorite occupation: Driving a flivver. Favorite expression: Rough it up, kid. Favorite drink: Old Crow. Favorite song: “Dream Daddy.” Russell Cobb? Why of course we know Russell. While “Ty” doesn’t take after his namesake so far as indulging in the active part of our national pastime is concerned, he is an enthusiastic rooter at all the games. Cobb came to C. H. S. when we were Juniors, and his broad smile soon won him many friends. And who hasn’t, with uncon- cealed joy, seen Russell come down the street in the Flivver, and offer a lift, thus saving a long walk on a hot day? We know, we’ve been there! For good nature “Ty” can’t be beat. No one ever saw him angry, and if there is some problem that troubles you, just ask him, he is always ready to help out. Russell will be at W. P. I. next year. At Tech, he is sure to up- hold the honor of our class. 24
