Senior Cl ass Florence Estelle Pancoast “Almost to all things could she turn her hand.” Athletic Association, ’23. Look who we have here—someone who is always ready to help her friends and classmates. Though Florence isn’t an athlete, she’s always on the field to cheer for her team. Quiet? Yes, but always ready to help when called upon. With these qualities, how could she fail in life ? F. PI. S. says: “We are proud of )) you.

Richard is a broad, fair-minded, true¬ hearted friend, liked by every one. He is one of those quiet, good-natured, pleasing persons who are always ready to an¬ swer the call of duty, entering every¬ thing with the determination to come.out successfully.

Senior Class Susie Madeline Greenlaw “Of girl friends, give me plenty; Of boy friends, I care for none.” Athletic Association, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; Class Basketball Team, ’22, ’23, ’24; Tennis Club, ' 22. Susie is a steadfast and faithful stu¬ dent, ever ready to lend a hand and to root for the High School team. We are all glad to see her as she approaches school in her Buick each morning, and I ' . H. S. will miss her when she goes. F. H. S. says: “Maybe you’ll like the fairer sex, some day.” James Simpson McWhirt “Justice vindicates and wisdom guides.” James comes in every morning to visit F. H. S. and, although he is tardy quite a hit, he comes just the same. He has been under the Gold and Black just two years and the school hates to lose him. He plays well in baseball and will be missed in the field and at the bat. When he leaves we know he can’t help but win with the F. H. S. spirit. F. H. S. says: “We won ' t forget you, James.”

Senior Class Audrey Veru Stevens “Of soul sincere, In action faithful, And in honor clear.” Audrey has stuck faithfully to her work throughout her High School life. She is a natural-born worker, putting her whole soul into whatever she under¬ takes to do, and doing it well. Loyal, dependable, and conscientious, Audrey is all this and more. Faithful to duty and trust, loyal and sincere to friends, no one fears for Audrey’s future, that one day she will reach the land where dreams come true. F. H. S. says: “Wishing you good luck and happiness.” Benjamin Godfrey Smith “With honest pride he scorns each selffish end.” Dramatic Club, ’24. This is Godfrey’s first year in our midst and his name on our roll has added much to our class and school. He is never tiring, always interested in the right and helping a good cause, with in¬ terest and remarkable ability. To have been Godfrey’s classmate and friend is a privilege and experience upon which, in years to come, memory will delight to dwell. F. H. S. says: “You leave with our best wishes.”
