LUCY A VALINE CABE “FIDO” “The reward of a thing well done is to hate S. S. S. Literary Society ’25 ’26 ’27. If you want a lots said in a few words Lucy is the girl who can do it. It doesn ' t take her long to tell you what’s what, if it happens to be any of your business. Her independent spirit is much admired by her class-mates, and also her thoroughness in preparing her lessens. Lucy’s note books and papers are as neat as her appearance and that is saying a lot. When least expected she will make a witty remark that is always suitable for the occassion. Lucy, we are sure that the world will be good to you, be¬ cause you have a way of getting the best out of life. JOHN FRANKLIN SHOPE “FRANK” “Let every man be master of his time.” S. S S. Literary Society ’24 ’25 ’26 ' 27 . Uho. gh Frank is rather irregular, he is one of the most popular students in our class. Everyone likes him and he has a smile and a cheerful word for everybody. He is always in a good humor and puts all the rest of us in one. He is a loyal society member and will sing, debate, declaim, or do anything he is called upon to do. A few more like you, Frank, would add greatly to our societies. Always be as cheerful and as willing to help others as you are now and you will always be as popular.

Literary Society ’24 ' 25 ’26 ’27; Basket Ball ’26 ’27; Base Ball ’27. Yes, Chester just will hunt and when he does, “All the perfumes of Anahia” will not sweeten him.

ROBERT CARLYLE SHEFFIELD “CAR-FIELD” “A most intense young man, A soulful-eyed young man. An ultra-poetical, super-asthetical out of the way young man. ' S. S. S. Society ' 21 . Here is a good fellow—pleasant, pleas¬ ing and kind. After spending a half-year at Bethel, Carlyle came to join us. He has made many friends during his short stay here and our only regret is that he did not join our class ooner. Carlyle is quite a favorite among the girls, but he pretends to be indifferent to their charms. He is also fond of athletics—and in not so great a degree—of studying. Carlyle tries to act innocent,but one look in his eyes puts us wise. He is nearly always surrounded by a bevy of girls listening to his brilliant remarks. Our best wishes go with you, “Car-field.” Wc hope you’ll be a “howling success” wherever fate may put you. LEOBELLE BRADLEY “LEO, THE GREAT” “Love reckons hours for months, and days for years. And every little absence is an age ' Lanier Literary Society ’27. They say she is in love, but she does¬ n’t have the usual symptoms. She never sits around and dreams when she should be studying, but always knows her les¬ sons perfectly. We can c”Gly see why anyone could be in love with her, how¬ ever, for she is both sweet and at¬ tractive. Everybody likes Leobelle, and Leobelle likes everybody. This is mo ' -e than can be said of most people with as much truth. Leo studies e -h lesson until she learns as much aho-it it as can be known, and she is a regular light¬ ning bug in Biology. FREDERICKA EMILY SILER “ 1500 !” And when the little heat t is big, “A little ” sets it off. Lanier Literary Society ' 24 ’25 ’26 ’27; President Lanier ’25; S ecretary and Treasurer ’26; Vice-President ’27; Basket Ball Team ’26 ’27; Captain Basket Ball ’26; Glee Club ’26; Class Poet ’27; An¬ nual Staff ’27; Tennis Club ’27. Freda is one of the most popular girls in our class. Her originality and cute ways always make her the center of at¬ traction in any group. She is one of the star basket ball players and when it comes to school spirit Freda is alwavs on the job. She is the kind that never worries, no matter how trying the situ- uation, but she is always willing to help the other fellow with his troubles. Freda we hope life will give you the best has to offer and we are sure you will give it a square deal in return. JAMES BRYSON PORTER “PICKLE” “He combined the manners of a marquis and the morals of ' a Methodist.” Lanier Literary Society ’24 ’25 ’26’ 27; Annual Committee ’27. James is the kind of student who can always be depended upon. He tackles everything with a determination to win, and will always help a friend out of any difficulty. “Pickles” love of music will probably some day cause the world to proclaim him a great musician. He is very polite and his good manners cause him to be quite a favorite among the ladies. He is alwavs in a good humor and we hope that he will continue to smile at the difficulties of life and al¬ wavs conquer them as easily as he does nowr Page Fourteen
