NORA MYRTLE KLINE “mutt” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24, ’25. I shall ne’er be zoare of mine ozeu zoit till I break my shins against it.” We wonder how Myrtle, quiet and stu¬ dious as she is, has made her presence so felt by all. Truly she belongs to the class of those who go to school for an education. In some way she has managed to become a friend to each of us and we have learned to appreciate her rare and unaffected wit. BETTIE JANE LEITCH “betsy” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Girls’ Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Com¬ mercial Department ’24-’25, Booster Club ’24-’25. “Very szeect and kind and true A friend to me—a friend to you.” Lucky is that one who is honored with Bettie’s love and friendship, for it is always sincere and true. She doesn ' t like to be teased, especially when she comes to school late with rows of perfect curls showing many minutes of painstaking labor. How¬ ever, due to the fact that she is a Senior or to some good influence in the Sophomore room, she is seldom late now. We hope the world will be as kind to her as she has been to others. HENRY CALEB CUSHING “kay” Commercial Department ’24, Orchestra ’24-’25, Tennis Team ’24, Athletic Association 22- 23- 24- 25, Annual Staff ’24- 25, Cohisco Staff ’2a. President W ilsonian Literary Society ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Class Secretary ’24, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24. Presi¬ dent W ilsonian Literary 7 Society 7 ’25. “Never over serious, not too frivolous but a rare good fclloze Kay r s brilliance and witty remarks won for him that endearing epithet, Our Class Philosopher,” in the Freshman Year, and he is still deserving of that title. He has a mint of phrases in his brain, and his obvious ability 7 to make speeches will win a worldly success for him and break many a fair lady’s heart.

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.

MARY KATHERINE LOBE AN “kat” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Booster’s Club ’23-’24-’25, Secretary of Girls’ Athletic Association ’24-’25. “She laughs azoay the sorrow And she laughs away the gloom.” The idea of doing without “Kat” in our class is inconceivable. With a toss of her head and in a most emphatic manner she gives us her opinion of everything. She never studies very much, but always man¬ ages to get by. Always fun-loving and mis¬ chievous, “Kat” is never lacking for con¬ versation, especially during Miss Talley’s French Period. MARY ELIZABETH LYONS “bessie” Sidney Lanier Literary ’24-’25, Commer¬ cial Class, Stenographer to Principal. “She never has much to say, Her words have been deeds from day to day.” Elizabeth came all the way from Mary¬ land just to join our famous class, and we are all glad she showed such excellent judgment. She treats us rather shabbily because, she spends most of her time in the Business room. She is quiet in school, but outside, “well—that’s different.” EARL GORMAN EGGLESTON “egg” Commercial Department ’24-’25, Athletic Association ’24-’25. “Long and lank as is the ribbed sea band.” We adopted “Egg” in our Sophomore year and we think that we have been mutually pleased with each other ever since. Think of the pencils which would have remained point¬ less if Earl had forgotten his knife a single day. He claims that he is a woman-hater, but don’t you believe it!
