Besides a regular job after school, Marvin has been able to carry a different course in school and at the same time get his name on the Honor Roll practically every month. Ile is one of the most elgficient and earnest workers in the class of '26. He is exceedingly modest when it comes to the opposite sex, but most obligingi Marvin likes mechanical and architectural drawing so well that probably when our next hotel is built he will be the master draftsman and architect.

A gentle, little breeze blowing steadily, with warmth and sunshine in its wake--that is Either. Her standard of duty is high and she allows no deviation from that in her daily life. One wonders at times how she manages to keep so calm in excitement and so helpful in adversity. Somebody's body will trim well and anchor safe if Elther is on board. Doxarii I-lixmisx BURCH ....

The halls of the VVorld Court will yet ring with the sonorous eloouence of this Tar Heel orator on great questions. His great physical endurance in classroom battles prepares him for the ones on the, gridiron. The question, Resolved that the happiness of an editor is dependent upon the possession of an angelic dis- position, has been defended with much force by him since he has been serving as liditor-in-t'hie.f of the NIESSENGER. Donald is much interested in history and can speak at length on the valuf ol' Literary Society work.

Responsibility he assumes with the same earnestness with which he plays ball. His hat still tits although he had the distinction of being chosen for the All-State football and basket- ball teams. He was carried into the Windy City by the VVhirl- wind in its annual encounter in the nation's tournament season. As Mayor of Hamelin and as attendance monitor of 1926, he has shown great executive ability. .ARA RACHFI.

Skipp is one of the inemhers of the class who attends to his own husiness and lets others attend to theirs. But when it comes to hacking '26, he's right there with the goods. Rawls is often rluhlwed the sixth period alarm clock. It is at this tiine that he arouses all sleepy-heads as he leaves school with his 'lliinousineu and its heart-rending, nerve-racking self announcer. 926 I PAGE171
