GROGAN BEALL I KGROGYY Ho is conzfilrte in feature and in mind,- DVzfli all good grace to grace a gentleman. Age: 18: Height: 5' 8'.': Weight: 155 Athletic Association 3, 4: Hi-Y 1, 2, 3, 4: Hi-Rocket Staff 4: Blackwell Literary Society 2, 3, 4. Enter Grogan, the ,lohn Barrymore of the Senior Class: exit all the feminine hearts. Grogan is as big a hit off the stage as he is on. He is quiet, butforceful, unassuming, but dominant, a regular fellow and one of the most sincere members of the Class of 'Z7. MARGARET WEBB BOIIDIE 'O'cr rough and sinootli slzc trips along, And izcvcr looks lzcliilzrlf' Age: 16: Height: 5' 2 Weight: 114 Girls Club 1, Z, 3, 4: Athletic Association 4, Margaret is as coolland unruflied as a mountain lake: apparently never flurried, never hurried, never worried. Personally, we are strong for Margaret, a line girl, a consci- entious student, and a lovable classmate. CLAIBORN BYRD HJAYI. A gcntlclnan makes no noise. Age: 18: Height: 6' 1 : Weight: 152 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4: Y. M. C. A. 3, 4. Claiborn is a wise Byrd, and like the crane, built to wade in difficulties. His heart is as big as his body when it comes to helping the other fellow. He's feathering his nest to be an M.D. so that he can make everybody indis- posed sit up and sing, like the proverbial lark.

There are Marys in history, in ballads, in Hollywood, but none can compare with Our Mary -the negative answer to that thought tickling query, Do 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Her.e's to Mary, the most uncontrary lass outside of a nursery rhyme. BIARY ELIZABETH BARBEE BUFEIE Those true eyes, Q - Too jvnre and honest in anglzt to disguise The sweet soul shining tliroizgh tlienif' Age: 18: Height: 5' 2 : Weight: 125 Blue Triangle Club Z, 3, 4: Sec. 4: Girls Club 3, 4: Executive Council 4: Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4: Dra- matic Club 3, 4: Lila Brogden Literary Society 4: Sec. 4. Mary is an excellent Math student which means that she has shrewd judgment. keen perceptions, and a practical mind. Mary wants to be a Math teacher, but we predict that six years hence she will be more interested in a cook book than any that Stone-Millis can devise, for Marv By YQ' X is adept in finding both the 'lunknown quantities -- x and it P.

Though Elizabeth is small, she holds a very large place in the hearts of her classmates. Faithful and loyal, she is always willing to serve her class in a cheerful. whole- hearted manner, We hope, Elizabeth, that you will he as faithful to your friends as you have been, and as successful in all your undertakings, and you will surely conquer the world.
