Senior Cl ass Elizabeth Martin Harrison “Silence oppresses ’with too great a ’weight.” Athletic Association, ’21, ’23; French Club, ’24. Elizabeth’s good nature and pleasing personality has won her a place in all our hearts. Of all the senses the great¬ est one is a sense of humor and one of the greatest arts is being useful, in which Elizabeth is not lacking. A happy future is certainly in store for her. F. H. S. says: “We hope you’ll find life’s pathway pleasant.” William Embrey Curtis “If it he a gentleman and a Scholar ye seek, Ye have found him.” Athletic Association, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; Hi-Y, ’22; Baseball Team, ’22, ’23, ’24; Treasurer of Senior Class, ’24. Willie has always been a good student as far back as we can remember and has a record to be proud of. He is one of our best baseball players, and next year the High School will miss his good work. “Pickle” always greets you with a friendly word and a twinkling eye. Although our Alma Mater will miss him from her walls, he will find a warm welcome in the world’s great workshop. F. H. S. says: “Don’t forget to win me glory.”
