PEARL NELL PHILLIPS “Laugh thy golden laughter, but the moment after weep thy golden tears.” “Tiny” has the qualities of an earn¬ est, loyal and true friend. In all she undertakes to do she is gay, fun loving and kind. Judging by her smallness one would think she shouldn’t be a Senior. What she says, she means; so we all know who to trust and depend upon. MAUDE VIRGINIA BURLESON “The sweetest and the fairest in the fairest colors dressed.” “Bill” has the qualities of a true and loyal comrade. She is sensibb and sweet and we have a notion that she will make a name for herself. She has already made a name in the Senior Class that will take some time and effort to erase. KATHLEEN BERNICE CONLEY “What liberty a loosened spirit brings.” Annual Staff ’28. Since “Kat” entered the Freshman Class she has always endeavored to do the tasks assigned her. She is one of the smallest but by no means the laziest of this illustrious band. PHILIP GEORGE NEWMAN “A little nonsense now and then Is cherished by the wisest men.” Annual Staff ’27, ’28; Football ’28; Basketball ’28; Vice-President Class of ' 28. Philip has been a strong member of our class for four years and is one of the most popular members. His fun and his pleasing personality have made him very likeable to the entire class. He takes great interest in the ladies as well as athletics, and is one of the best athletes in school. Our wish for him is that he wall at¬ tain happiness and success in any¬ thing that he tries.

ELMER WILSON CRAWFORD “He who feeds men, serveth them; He serveth all who dares to be true.” Annual Staff ’28. Stern, though gentle; bold, yet not too bold; studious, although not a slave to books; sweet is the true im¬ pression we all have of our quiet unassuming friend, “Brilliant” Craw¬ ford. This young man needs only to be known to be liked. Fate is very fickle yet we dare predict for him health, wealth, and happiness. ELLEN BRANDON CORPENING “Far may you search before you find a heart so noble and so kind.” President Class ’27. “Brandywine” is one of the most popular girls in our class. We can easily sec why it is though for she is gay, pretty, sweet, attractive and friendly. She is not only a good student with a ready answer for the questions asked her by the teachers but she is also an excellent leader and is always willing to take part. BERTHA ANNE SOUTHARDS “Gratitude is ' the fairest blossom that springs from the soul.” Literary Staff ’27; Basketball ’28. “Birdel” is the sweetest girl in our class. To say she is good natured and kind-hearted doesn ' t half do her justice. She is straight forward and takes hold of things with a determina¬ tion to win. She never worries, but she shows sympathy for the fellow who does. FANNIE SAVANNA CONLEY “Virtue made visible by outward grace.” “Jo-Jo” says little but thinks enough to make up for her silence. If anyone is looking for an old fashion¬ ed wdfe—one who is a lady—just call on “Jo.” She has been willing at all times to help others and she has a quaint charm all her own which has endeared her to many friends.

THE hAURE 1. K V GEORGE DAVIS CARPENTER “Music, when soft voices die, vi¬ brates in the memory.” Basketball, 26, ’27, ’28; Annual Staff ’28. “Horn” is one of the most popular, as well as energetic, cheerful, and en¬ tertaining boys in school. He will undoubtedly make a success of life; that is, if he goes into it with the same determination that has charac¬ terized him all through his school career. He is worthy of the best and we hope he will reap a golden harvest from his field of ability. MARTHA PEARLE CUNNINGHAM “A noble type of good heroic wo¬ manhood.” Library Staff’ 28; President Class ’28. “Gimlet” has made her influence felt to no small degree. Although she studies a great deal, yet even her best friend would not call her a bookworm. To a stranger she gives the impression of being shy and quiet but she is just the opposite with her friends. She has a joyful disposition and carries lightly the great and aw¬ ful dignity of a Senior. SAM McSWAIN ROGERS “Both to will and to do.” Glee Club ’26; Annual Staff ’28. Sam is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and through this he has won many friends in the school. He is very studious and makes good grades. The algebra that has caused most of us to pass sleepless nights never gave him any trouble. It ap¬ pears that he never lets the girls give him serious thought. We believe that in time to come he will gain for himself honor and fame and re¬ flect credit upon his school. ONNIE LEE CABE “A friend in need is a friend in¬ deed.” Library Staff ’28. “Short” is a strong believer in free¬ dom of speech and is as straight forward in her actions as in perform¬ ing her duties. Onnie is one of the best sports in our class. When a practical joke is played upon her she just “blushes and smiles.” We hope, Onnie, that your act of blush¬ ing will some day win you that “nice young man.” Page Fourteen 1 1) s
