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!

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.

NELLIE WANDA MARSHALL “nell” Sidney Lanier Literary Society, Girls’ Athletic Club. “A heart resolved on victory or death.” No one will ever be able to down Nellie. She beats the girls in all domestic tasks and she can surpass the boys when it comes to looking after a “tin lizzie.” We know she loves old C. H. S., for she has been known to walk six miles rather than miss a day from school. FLORENCE LIND MILLER “klunk” Vice-President Class ’ 21-22 , President ’23-’24, Secretary and Treasurer Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Varsity Basketball Team ’23-’24, Reviewing Editor Co his co Outburst ’23, Girls’ Athletic Asso¬ ciation ’23-’24-’25, Boosters’ Club ’24-’25. “She doeth little kindnesses, Which most leave undone, or despise; For naught that sets one heart at case. And giveth happiness or peace. Is low—esteemed in her eyes. — Tames Russell Lowei.l. JOHN HARRISON LEWIS FRIDLEY “dan” Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25. “A zooman is only a woman Btit a good cigar is a smoke. Harrison possesses a peculiar talent of producing “effect” in whatever he says or does. He doesn’t seem very active, but he’s always there with the goods at the showdown. Many a girl of C. H. S. has lost faith in her feminine charms because he has never fallen a victim, but probably there is a “girl back home” at Callaghan.
