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.

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.

HAZEL VIRGINIA PENLAND “Obedience alone gives the right to command.” President of Class ’26. “Coz” as a friend, can’t be equaled. When literary, social, or scholastic duties call she never fails. In ad¬ dition to these rare qualities her good common sense and ready smile have made for her a wide circle of friends. That life may be good to her is our earnest wish. NELL WARE CUNNINGHAM “An artist, a musician and a come¬ dian all in one, who has in stock ten million pounds of fun.” Vice-President of Class ' 27; Annual Staff ' 28; Library Staff ' 27, ’28. Nell has won her way into the hearts of every one in school, especial¬ ly the teachers, because she does such excellent work. You never see her report without at least three 90’s. If you are looking for a con¬ scientious worker, as well as a pal, she is there “with bells on.” A true and loyal friend; one who believes that in order to have friends one must be a friend—what greater com¬ pliment could be paid her ? JOHN PAUL DALRYMPLE “Smile and the world smiles w.th you.” Dalrymple, large of statue, and large of heart, is loved by all who cross his pathway. He is a very sociable fellow. It will do y ou good to know him. Now take a trip and get next to him sometim —if you can get him away from the ladies long enough. JAMES RILEY FERGUSON “Nothing is impossible to the man who can, will, and then does.” Here is one who thinks it is well to have some fun as he goes along. He is up to some mischief now and then but he doesn’t forget his re¬ sponsibilities. He is an earnest, faith¬ ful worker whether in class or plot¬ ting some trick. He has not made known to us what he will do, but whatever he may do, he will be a credit to his profession. Page Seventeen
