BESS WIDBY NORTON “A few moments of keeping your mouth shut may save you an hour’s explanation.” “Besh” is one of the most ou ' : spoken girls in our class. She looks after her own affairs and expects other people to do the same. Bess is a girl that we all can trust and depend upon. Her originality in per¬ forming her duties and her out spoken ways has made her a favorite of our class. LOUIS MICHAEL YOUNG “He is only a well-made man who has a good determination.” Basketball ’27, ’28; Football ’28; Annual Staff ’28; Glee Club ’26. Determination, consistency of effort, a will, purpose—these are the ele¬ ments of success, and it is these qualities which give “Curly Locks a bright future and has attracted to him many class friends. We can well predict to the fair one who will call him her “better-half” that he will be well worthy of the name. JENNIE HAZEL CABE “O mistress mine, where are you roaming ? Oh stay and hear! Your true love coming.” Library Staff ' 28. “Hez” is a tireless worker and siezes all the opportunities cast her way. She studies day and night, either her text-books or about “Sharp.” Her ideas are always good for she never argues foolishly but proves her points so clearly that she is victorious and cariies away the spoils of a “good grade.” ALEXANDER WLMER CABE “They also serve who only stand and wait.” “Alex” is one of the quietest mem¬ bers of the Senior Class. It is a pleasure to know him, because even though he speaks seldom, his words are those of wisdom. “Alex” is un¬ selfish and always ready to help a friend in distress. We know that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes and lead a life of usefulness in the days to come as he did at F. H. S.

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

WILBUR WILSON TEAGUE “A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men.” Wilbur is popular, jovial, and takes life as it comes, yet he leaves an im¬ pression of dependability. His great¬ est characteristic is his power of making friends. He’s a good sport, and his smile always brings gladness to those with whom he associates. MARY ELIZABETH SLAGLE “The word impossible is not in my dictionary.” Annual Staff ’28; Library Staff ’28. “Libby” is among our best students. What ever she undertakes she puts forth every effort to accomplish which is a lot said in a few words. She is a girl whom we all respect and admire because of her unselfish and serious personality. We are sure that the future holds much in store for Elizabeth. TERRELL COGGINS PARRISH “Act well your part, there all your honor lies.” Football ’28. Always jolly and full of fun, he has had his pleasures, but he has worked too. It is his firm belief that one must discharge his duties well to attain success. He- is full of determination and he has the persis- tance to work at a task until it is finished. Wc know his ability will win a high place for him. PEARL ELIZABETH BLAINE “Here’s a girl with a heart and a smile that makes this bubble of life worth while.” President of Seco Home Economics Club ’26, ’27. “Jack,” as she is called scatters sun¬ shine wherever she goes, though she seldom speaks. We all know that a smile will go a long way. We shall watch with interest her progress through life. Page Sixteen 1 ( 4 -, J
