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.

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!

MILDRED PAYNE PARKER “m il” Girls’ Athletic Association ’22-’23-’24-’25, Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25. “If to her share some female errors fall. Look on her faee, and you’ll forget them all.” “Mil” has impressed us all with her un¬ usually sweet disposition. She is rather quiet until she gets the “giggles.” hen the “spirit moves” her. she is one of our bright pupils, and at all times with her blue eyes and brown hair, she is an ornamental one. PHYLLIS PAYNE PEDIGO “pain” Class Secretary ’24, Cheer Leader ’24-’25, Basketball ’ 22-23-24 , Sergeant-at-Arms Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Reporter ’25, Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25. Annual Staff ’24, Booster Club ’24-’25. “Hast so much zeit and mirth, There is no living with thee—nor without thee.” Energetic, jolly, and lively, but not hard¬ working, Phyllis is probably of Irish ex¬ traction. because she always has a store of excuses on hand for any ' emergency ' and plenty of blarney to keep us in good humor. ROBERT HUGH GLEASON “pickles” Baseball Team ’24-’25. “Genius is the abiilty to evade work.” When Hugh entered our class, his quiet, studious manner impressed us greatly ' , and as a result, he now carries the nickname “Pickles.” We have since learned that he was only ' bash¬ ful, and that he really ' doesn’t deserve such a name.
