MARGARET ELLEN CARTER “fatty” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Boosters ’25. “We arc as like as two eggs.” One hardly knows Margaret is around until there is something to be done, then with a sweet smile she says, “I’ll try.” Her patient and gentle disposition serves her well in trying moments, especially when she must tell Mr. Firebaugh every morning that she is Margaret and not Marjorie. MARJORIE HELEN CARTER “weenie” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Boosters ’25. “By happy chance, zee saw a twofold image.” Marjorie is a conscientious worker and a sweet, sincere friend. Underneath a calm reserve there is an engaging personality that wins football heroes. We predict for her a life of happy domesticity. THOMAS MOORE BUTLER “mooney” Debating Team ’24-’25, Football ’23-’24, Basketball ’23-’24-’25, Assistant Business Man¬ ager of Annual ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25, Cohisco Staff ’25, Baseball ’24-’25. “My only books were woman’s looks And folly is all she taught me.” “Mooney” generally manages to keep the class amused with his ready wit and contagious laugh. After he has gotten one of the rest of us in trouble he assumes an angelic expression and gets by with it. Ask him to let you see the collection of ladies’ pictures he carries in his pocketbook.

MARY CHARLOTTE BRIDGETT “shot” Girls’ Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier ’23-’24. “This nymph to the destruction of mankind Nourished two locks, which graceful hung behind.” Mary is one of the exceptional members of the Senior Class, in that she still has long hair. Many are the valiant males that have fallen ’neath her hand because she has to fight all of the time to prevent a Rape of the Lock. ELLEN VIRGINIA CARTER “tella” Basketball ’22-’24, ’24-’25; Booster Club ’24, Sidney Lanier ’24-’25, Commercial Course ’24-’25. “II ' ere her life a book, her deeds would be r ,written there.” “Tella” is still Ellen, although she had her pretty curls “bobbed.” Ellen is very peppy, which was proved by her work on the basketball team. She is quiet, but the Seniors wouldn’t have her otherwise, be¬ cause she wouldn’t seem natural. PHILIP BURKES “phil” Sidney Lanier ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’2-1—’25. - “And friends received with thumps upon the back.” “Phil” is a quiet but active member of our class. He came from Low Moor, and joined the class of ’25 because he realized that merely belonging to such an organization would make him famous. If we may believe the old saying, “Practice makes perfect,” he and Moore Butler will both be pugilists.

ELIZABETH MICKLEY COVER “mutt” Girls’ Athletic Association, Captain Girls’ Basketball Team, Class Secretary ’24-’25, President of Sidney Lanier Literary Soci¬ ety, President of Girls’ Athletic Association, Asst. Manager of Annual ’24, Art Editor of Annual ’25, Business Manager of Cohisco Outburst ’25, Booster Club. “She touched every phase of school activity and touched nothing she did not adorn.” “Mutt” has a sort of masculine ability for leadership and has always used this talent to the advantage of C. H. S. EDITH PAULINE CROWDER “edie” Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier ’24-’25. “Nature made her true, loving, and just.” “Edie” is the Senior baby. She always has something nice to say of every one. Does that account for her popularity? She is very fond of French and such phrases as “je vous ainie” and “La Rue” seem to come very naturally to her lips. AUBREY ALFRED CARPENTER “cause” Athletic Association ’24-’25, Secretary Freshman Class ’22, Treasurer Sophomore Class ' 23. “Chewing gum’s good, a smoke is good. And zee’re all good fellows together.” If you are looking for a good joke or a stick of chewing gum just call on Aubrey. He ' s a good-natured sort of fellow, and works some, besides. In spite of the efforts of the fair sex to get a ride in his car, he still tries to make us believe that a girl is the least of his worries, but we have our doubts.
