Many are the occasions when her cheerfulness has brought sunshine into the classroom. Back of her smile is optimism, good fel¬ lowship, and a brilliant intellect.

EDNA FRANCES McGAHA “A merry heart goeth all the day. ' Junior League ’25; Societe Jeanne D’Arc ’24; French Play ’24, ’25; Kenmore Literary So¬ ciety ’24. There ' s plenty of pep to Edna. She ' s full of life and loves sports. She never misses a game if she can help it, but is right there rooting for our team when¬ ever a game is on.

He takes part in sports and is a game little chap, fond of playing the game, even though he gets roughed. He calls his lessons battles, yet he gets along finely in his studies. Fitzhugh enjoys a pun or a witticism and has added much to our school life. XENIDRCIAIX
