E Elwood is able to toot everything but his own horn. He is. without doubt the most industrious member of the class and his class record is as brilliant as Bill Farthing's hair. He says that hc is heartswhoie but his day dreaming seems to indicate worship elsewhere than in the pursuit of knowledge. He wants to goto college and we hope he makes lns mark but his excessive timidity may be in the way. HELEN LoL'isE 1'1UNTER ......

Our llelen is blessed with .1 loveliness and charm that might arouse the envy of that famous beauty of tradition, and regardless of what the task may be she always enters it with an unescclled spirit and force. Apparently the Fates have been with Helen. VVe hope for her in the future the same good fortune that she has had in lligh School. FRANU-is Ei.izA111-:TH JOHNSTON . . .

VYhy do all these bring to us vague visions of a brilliant, variegated. deep-fringed shawl and a balcony above a moon-lit garden? VVhy, when l1e.r smile touches us, do our hearts beat just a little faster than at other times. even though we do know that underneath shels just one of us, always willing to help and be a friend in need?

He is not only witty, for his remarks and quips are. always a source ot merriment to his fellow elassmen, but he is very good at many other things. To look at him, no one would think that he would like Latin, but he does and is a star pupil. Sometimes Frank says he wants to be either a naval engineer or a druggist., We can understand the wide difference in choice of professions be- cause Frank has many long suits, especially one Suitt of the class of '26.

She is a busy bee in all her tasks and without her cooperative spirit there would be a missing link in the class. Don't get the idea that she is always working, because there is as much fun in her as there is in anyone and when there is a chance for excitement, she is one of the gang. ' - . 1, , ' i ....

By her wise maxims CH on classes she keeps our faces from becoming permanently long and our hearts from perpetual gloom. By her guarding on our Girls' basketball team she kept it from being hopelessly relegated to athletic oblivion. The way she presides over the Cornelia Spencer Liter- ary Society sets a tlignihed precedent for all presidents to come, forevermore,. IPAGE 211
