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.

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.

W ILMA LOOSE HUNTLEY “tootsie” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Booster’s Club, Girls’ Athletic Association ’24-’25. “Laugh and be fat.” If giggling is laughing, it is no wonder that Wilma is the fattest member of our class. There is no fatty substance in her brain, however, for she always manages to get good grades as well as to get into all of the mischief afoot. Her only failing is hic¬ cups, and the sight of Air. Firebaugh is sure to produce an attack. KATHERINE ANDERSON IRVINE “kitten” Sidnej ' Lanier ’24-’25. ‘ ' Eternal smiles, dimpling all the way.” Although “Kitten” has not been with us many t ears, we have discovered that she is one of the few who have “winning, win¬ some ways.” She does not belong to ant- debating team, but ant- Senior will vouch for her ability along this line. DELMAR CRAFT “craft” Vice-President Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24, Football Team ’24, Basketball Team ’24, Captain Basketball Team ’25, Captain Football ’25, Vice-President Class ’24, Editor-in- Chief Cohisco Outburst ’25, Program Committee Sidney Lanier ’25, Class President ’25. ‘‘The light that lies in woman’s eyes Has been my chief undoing.” Delmar has been very popular all through school, especially with the fair sex, and has taken a prominent part in school activities. Much could be said for him, but to be brief we’ll just say he’s an all-round man.
