CHARLEY MASON PERKINS “see-em” Wilsonian Literary Society, Girls’ Ath¬ letic Association ’25. Charley, My Girl.” Although she has a masculine name, she is very feminine in appearance. She en¬ tered our class only last fall, having come to us from Charlottesville, where she at¬ tended school with our English Professor. Enough said. FRANCES MARGARET PERSINGER “teaser” Girls’ Athletic Association ’24- ' 25, Boost¬ ers’ Club ’25, Wilsonian Literary Society ’24-’25. “A merry maiden of wit and wisdom.” “Teaser” has the reputation of being one of our best scholars, and we all admit her right to it, but she is not the least bit selfish with her goodly store of knowledge. She always has original ideas about everything in general and doesn’t mind expressing them in spite of the laughter they provoke. Surely she is worthy of the affection every Senior has for her. BLAKE KIDD “seeds” Baseball ’23-’24-’25, Football ’24, Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25, Sergeant-at- Arms, Sidney Lanier ’24, Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Class Usher ’25. “A noticeable man , ivitli large black eyes.” Blake is the pet of the Senior class. In spite of the fact that he has a genius for evading any hard work, he is universally popular—the girls forgive him because of his looks, and the boys because of his good nature. He has always been something of an entomologist—in¬ terested in Bugs.

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.

GLADYS CATHERINE ROSE “daddie” Sidney Lanier Literary Society ’24-’25. “Many a flower is born to blush, And win with fragrance its foes; But zee arc sure no flozeer could Be dearer to us than our Rose.” Gladys is a sweet, sincere girl who has helped us over knotty problems with her mathematical ability and made us feel her worth in her every deed. ELIZABETH BEAUFORT REVERCOMB “bugs” Girls’ Basketball ’22, Class Treasurer ’22, Class Vice-President ’24, Vice-President of Girls’ Athletic Association ’24, Vice-Presi¬ dent Wilsonian Literary Society ’24, Secre- tar 3 ? and Treasurer Wilsonian Literary So¬ ciety ’25, Wee-President of Girls’ Athletic Association ’25, Class Treasurer ’25. “Her charming looks a cottage might adorn Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” “Bugs” has a way about her that is en¬ tirely original in every detail, especially her way of expressing herself in English class. Those of us who believe in dreams predict for her a happy future in a rose-entwined cotatge, probably brick. LAWRENCE LLEWELLYN MCCARTHY “mac” Athletic Association ’23-’24-’25, Football Team ’24-’25, Basketball Team ’24-’25. “The man that blushes is not quite a brute.” Lawrence has been one of our most diligent workers and most willing friends all through the four years in C. H. S. He was our first hero on the football field in ’25 when a broken shoulder disabled him for the rest of the season. We have just discovered lately that he is a “lion among ladies,” for the most demure of our Senior girls is wearing his football letter.
