WMWWWMWMNMNMNMWMWMWM LILLIAN BURTON ALLEN A witty woman is a treasure, A witty beauty is a. power. Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Dramatic Club 1, 45 Glee Club 15 James Southgate Literary Society 45 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 45 Home Room Ol:l'flCCfQ Chaplain 45 Messenger Stal? 45 Statistician5 Stunt Cast 4. Lillian, in her wee small voice, pipes up with such witty things that we can only laugh and wonder how she thinks of them. She tells us that she' works, but we wonder how anybody as pretty 'as she. is, could have time for it. We have heard that New Jersey has an uncanny fascination for Lillian, and when we asked her about it, she only re- plied, that she Newsom boy there. HUGH QUINCY ALEXANDER ALEX By the work one knows the 'workmanf' Monogram Club 45 Blackwell Literary Society 45 Dra- matic Club 45 Basketball 45 Athletic Association 45 Stunt Cast 45 Home Room 6A35 Chaplain 4. Hugh came to us from West Durham at the beginning of this year. He came in a whirlwind and made good in a White Whirlwind. He has been with us long enough to be outstanding in his literary society and on our basket- ball team. Hugh says he is quiet, but he made himself one of the big noises by Spreading the News. Possibly it was his first offense and neighbors excused him from censure. Earnest and interested, Alexander has more worlds to conquer. RUTH ADAMS A smile for all, a greeting glad A friendly, jolly way she had. Girls' Club 4. Ruth says little, but that isn't a sign that she doesn't work. For proof one only has to watch her in the library as she busily proves all of Mr. Euclid's theorems dur- ing time when most of us are reading Andy Gump, Etta Kettf' or the sports page of the newspapers. Don't think that she doesrft enjoy other things too-just ask her how well she likes to talk. JAMES LEXIE ADAMS UIIMMIEH Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry. Co-operative Class 3, 45 Commercial Club 45 Athletic Association 3, 45 Stunt Cast 45 Co-op Minstrel 45 Hi-Y 2, 35 Glee Club Z, 3 Jimmie Adams is a perfect example of the cheerful man -hence loathed melancholy and all the other gods of grief and sadness must find some apter subject to rob of happi- ness. We know of but one thing that disturbs him-the smile and gaze of a number of the fairer sex. Beneath this light cheerful exterior we find an earnestness anrl sincerity which makes him a good friend. LENNA MAE BRooKs UYORKIEU There's rosemary, that's for remembrance-and there are pansies, that's fo-r thoughts. Commercial Club 3, 45 Girls' Club 3, 45 Hi-Rocket 45 Girls' Basketball, Home Room Manager 3, 45 Coroso Play- ers 45 Home Room, 6A4, Marshall5 May Queen's Court 2. Lenna Mae-Be what? She may be anything she wishes, from Hooverss secretary on downg but we know what she is already-a pretty, gentle, young lady, although she was a high spirited grandmother in the Commercial Club play. She is studying bookkeeping'-but surely not for a busi- ness life? You know, bookkeeping is an asset in making a house a home. ROBERT CLARK Arwooo HBOBYI The wisest man could ask no more of Fate ,Than to be simple, modest, manly, true. Baseball 3, 45 Thomas A. Edison Science Club 3, 45 Sec- retary and Treasurer 45 Movie Operator 3, 45 Stunt Cast 3, 45 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 45 Messenger Staff, Business Stat? 45 Commercial Club 45 Boys' Glee Club 4. Bobbie has very little trouble in making friends-all he has to do is grin, and people say, Welcome into our hearts, Bobbief' He very seldom says anything, but when he does speak there is enough said and done. Some of us suspect that Bobbie likes the girls although we haven't very much direct evidence of this fact. We feel sure that this tall fellow, who always looks as if he were laughing up his sleeve, has a bright future ahead of him. E261
