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.

 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

 JOSEPHENE SMITH, Jo Girls’ Club 2, 3, 4; B. B. 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4; Junior Play; Operetta 4. You always think of Josephene with a smile of appreciation. She has worked hard in school and will certainly create a bright spot in some busy business man’s office. Moreover, if she’s like the general run of stenographers, she might even go a step farther. She has had some theatrical experience so we bet on her. VIVIAN LUCILE THORNTON B. B. 1-4; Latin Club 1, 2, 4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Vivian is little but she’s mighty. She started in so young that it’s only this year that she has been able to reach the floor with her feet when she sits in the assembly chairs. PAUL WILLISON Class President 1, Vice-President 4; Ag. Club 1, 2, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4, Capt. 4; Ag. play 4; Com’l Club 3; Lumo Ruido, Vice-President 4; May Fete 2; Operetta 3; F. L . H. Club 3, 4; Purple and White 3; Swastika 4. Paul was one of the mainstays of the football team. His great personality has also attracted must attention across the footlights. It’s wonderful what a great change attending high school has made in Paul. One prominent senior Miss was heard to say that since becoming captain of the football team, taking up the use of Stacomb, and appearing in sheik breeches all the fair ones fall for his line. HELEN V. YOUMANS Santa Rosa, Cal. 2; I atin Cluh 1, 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4, Pres. 4; Glee Club 1-4; Com’l Club 3, 4; Lumo Ruido 4; Declamation, winner of county contest 1, 3; Oration 4; B. B. 1-4; Tennis Club 2, 3; Operetta 3, 4; May Fete 1; Junior Play. Helen is always bubbling over either with a plan for the Girls’ Club, or with enthusiasm for somebody she “just loves’’, or with some secret she won’t tell. She has won two gold medals for Georgetown and is still working for her Alma Mater’s honor. 1926 Page Tiventy-two
