 MARY LOUISE REES, “Louisa” Bird and Flower, 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 2, 3, 4; Secretary-Treasurer 1; May Fete 1, 3; Junior play; Operetta 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Tennis Club 1-3; Chorus 1-4; Orchestra 3, 4. This little Kiri has been one of the best workers in high school and has taken part in many of its activities. However in counting: up the things that she had done she was deeply chagrined to find that H. H. had gone her a few better. Some of her ambitions are to get up a successful senior party; sing first soprano in the chorus; and play basketball without making faces. MARY J. RICHARDS, “Peggy” Bird and Flower 2; May Fete 1, 2, 3; B. B. 1-4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Purple and White 3; Com’l Club 3, 4; Swastika 4. “Mary Richards always has something funny to say,” we heard some one remark the other day. She is a good worker and is always on the spot whether it’s cleaning up after a stand or chasing down alumni addresses. ORA BELLE DUKE Monticello 1, 2; Purple and White 3. Ora Belle is one of those modern speed demons (on the typewriter, we mean). She can print, too, and we always call on her when we want some neat posters made. JOSEPH LLOYD EDMONDS, “Joe” Football 1-4; Basketball 2; Track 2, 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Com’l Club 4; Junior Play; President 3. Joe has finally decided that he will have to leave G. H. S. He will be remembered as one of our best football men. Moreover, he has shown a remarkable spirit in leading the senior basketball team through a wonderful season. He was always sure of one stanch supporter during all those heart-rending mixups. 1926 Page Twenty

 ROBERT CLIFT, “Bob” Ag. Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika, art, 4. We have to give Bob due credit for his artistic talents, because every time Runt Barr wants a funny picture he knows just where to go. As for getting this annual out without his aid, it would have been “pert nigh impossible. Another thing, he has, so far, managed to keep out of dangerous and entangling alliances or to at least silence all rumors. HELEN E. HOLADAY Bird and Flower 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Girls Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1, 3, 4; Class Secretary 2; May Fete 3; Junior play; Declamation 1, 4; Purple and White 3; Tennis Club 3; Swastika 4. Helen, according to her own confession “has been in hot water ever since she’s been in high school.” However it is generally the other people that nearly drown. They never can remember that Helen’s probably just fooling. GUY F. LEWIS Danville 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Latin Club 4; Junior play. “Gee, why did heaven waste such a marcel on a boy?” was Helen’s remark when she first saw Guy. Guy is just as fine a fellow as his hair is wavy. FLORENCE McMASTER Latin Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Bird and Flower 1, 2; Secretary-Treasurer 4; Girls’ Club 1, 2, 3; Swastika 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Florence is the only one of us, so far, to realize her ambition. She is teaching school. When opportunity knocked at her door she cried, “Entrez-vous.” LOUIS MAVIN MALOY Class President 2; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Librarian 4. Mavin has spent most of his time this year managing the library and has done it most efficiently. His other serious occupation has been coaching a class of one in geometry. 1926 Page Nineteen

MABLE M. ELLIOTT. “Shorty” Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; May Fete 1, 2. Mable comes from the west and her interest extends even as far west as Catlin. She always has a pleasant smile or you might even spell it g-r-i-n. CLARK D. EMORY Latin Club 1, 2; Football 1. 2; Junior Play; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Extempore 3, 4. Clark has been one of the willing workers of the class and will stick to a skillet until the last hot dog is dead. He is fond of public speaking and is thinking seriously of becoming a lawyer. However he is a bit sentimental and has been known to write poetry. GLADYS MAYBELLE EMORY Bird and Flower Club 2; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; May Fete 1, 2, 3; Chrmn Class Soc. Comm. 1-4; Junior play; Tennis Club 3; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Maybelle always has a pleasant smile and jnaybe that’s why she has so much trouble with her dates. Her chief interest this year has been doing startling things to her hair. MILLARD HARMON Purple and White, Editor, 3; Swastika, Editor, 4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Latin Club 1, 2; Com’l Club 3, 4 (Pres. 4); Operetta 3, 4; Bird and Flower 2; Junior plays; Oration 4. Millard has been our dramatics comedian and editor until we’ve come to depend on him Beside taking part in all the plays and quarreling with Helen Holaday, he’s been on the honor roll every month of his high school course and generally at the head. 1926 Page Twenty-one
