Q7, ,V Aafwojaai- ' lafzfnp Irregular Seniors .iii sd JANE WORTH BROWN Jane Worth's gracious personality lends a se- rene note in a troubled school-world. Everything about our May Queen, her dimples, her captivat- ing smile, and her sympathetic nature endears her in the hearts of her classmates. No one could ask for more loyal friend or a kinder enemy than Jane Worth. ELIZABETH ANN FARRIS Elizabeth Ann's tapering fingers, curly hair, and feminine voice combine in a most individual personality. Words cannot express how sweet and lovable she is. She adds her personality to every group she comes in contact with and she takes an active interest in everything. 67 Ei wi., l x I lf, j ,, MARTIIA OPPENHEIM Martha's enviable knack of looking impeccably groomed at all hours of the day, her unquestion- able talent for designing clothes, her frequent cruises about the Caribbean make her notable. The admiration she invokes is frankly acknowl- edged by her classmates. JANE WATKINS Jane's sparkling wit keeps her friends in an uproar. Her wonderfully shining eyes and twink- ling toes make her a standout Jane is too in- terested in extra curricular activities to keep her nose to the proverbial grindstone, but her dashing personality will pull her through. lllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIlllllIllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllllIlllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllIlllllllllIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

BETTY THATCHER Erect and bright-eyed Betty's affa- bility and character made her a leader in school activities. As an individual she indulges in passions for perfume, sodas, horses, football and blue. As a leader Betty typifies the highest form of capability. JANE WILLIAMS Jane has one of the best minds in our class as well as one of our most delightful personalities. Her varied activities bring her in contact with many who automatically like her. Never a gloomy countenance has Jane, and this trait alone endears her to her friends. FLORENCE TUCKER Flossie, though the possessor of a caustic wit, and a frank nature, is one of the best-liked girls in our classg for she combines her funning with hard work and sportsmanship to form a most individual personality. BETTY WILLS Vivacity is a name for Willsy. Betty is a fine swimmer and a per- sistent golfer. Dancing is my first love -to quote her, but far from her last. Everywhere she goes is auto- matically made gay by her sparkling personality and comic wit. BRYNA WIN ER Bryna is the comedienne par excel- lence of our class, A capable actress, a frank conversationalist, a good sport is she. Her happy-go-lucky ex- terior disguises her conscientious worry about her lessons. Bryna is ready for anything' and takes every- thing with a hilarious attitude.

In the Freshman section Ruby Archie, Ella Frances Baird, Mary Margaret Blaker, Katherine Dixon, Elizabeth Ann Farris, Peggy Ferguson, Mary Louise Gilliam, Baird McClure, Phyllis Strahle, Jane Watkins, and Betty Wills make their debuts. There is a play, The Pampered Darling, and an operetta, Peggy and the Pirate, in which Shirley starred. Several girls were admitted to the Glee Club. There is a large space devoted to the Sophomore year. The retreating figures of Ruby, Ann Bright, Betty Chester, Josephine, and Shirley, who moved to Nashville, are seen, but entering for the first time are Mary Ball, Jane Worth Brown, Jennie Lou Cox, and Judy Smith. Another bright face becomes prominent, that of Eba Smallwood, who contributed so much to our class and was elected to the Varsity basketball team. In the picture gleams a bright silver loving cup won by Burnett in a city-Wide essay contest. The 'Sire de Maletroit's Door stands out as one of the best class plays, and there is an- other operetta. There are the beginnings of the Static with Baird as business manager, Margaret, Ellen, Lenora, Peggy, Betty, and the two Janes. Lenora and Betty were also taken into the Dramatic Club. The space for the Junior year shows all waving good-bye to Phyllis, Mary Louise, Eba, and Jennie Lou, and giving a gay welcome to Martha Gilbert, Evelyn Harrison, Ava Lowe, Virginia McClellan, and Irene Sanders. Much dramatic and musical talent are displayed in Pride and Prejudice and Once in a Blue Moon. The French classes pre- sent puppet shows which delight the entire student body. Ava and Betty each wear a gold basketball. The Static is turned over to the new Board in February. The Annual Board is elected. To the Dramatic Club are elected Ellen, Virginia, and Bryna, who is made president for her Senior year. At Commencement Ellen and Jane Williams divide the honors of the Grace McCallie Memorial Scholarship. -..ft i, . . .

Burnett, the ever-dignified, is Class President, and Snella, the baby of the class, is Red Cross Presi- dent. The girls on the Annual Board, Ellen, Baird, Virginia, Lenora, and Betty, spend all their spare time and more working on the yearbook. There are more plays, more basketball, chemistry labs, and geometrical figures. May Day is a beautiful sight indeed with Jane Worth as Queen and Baird as her Maid of Honor. Soon after that comes exams, parties, Class Day, and Commencement. The last is a mingling of tears, and laughter, white uniforms, diplomas, congratulations, and gifts. Scattered throughout the picture in odd places are Senior rings, shiny cars parked on the hill, football games, dances, Betty McCool and Ann taking blue ribbons in horse shows, Jane voted one of the town's five best dancers, Martha on shipboard, and, of course, the crest of Baylor and of McCallie. Over it all is spread a glow easily recognizable as the aura of friendship, peace, and harmony. The last detail is a large question mark in the lower corner. It stands for the future, and neither the artists nor I can tell you what it holds for this Class of 1940. BETTY THATCHER.
