JAMES WOODROW CLARK, Di. ‘‘For I never knew so young a body with so old a head. ’ ’ Age 15 Weight, 140 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 10 in. Di Society; Editor Reflector, ’12; Editor-in-Chief Peflefletor, ’14; Edi¬ tor Sage, ’14; Vica-President Class, ’13; Football, ’14; Orchestra, ’12, ’13. ' 1 4; Glee Club, ’13; Commencejment Debater, ’14. This young man has the distinction of being the youngest member of the class and is a perfect walking ency¬ clopedia. Woody’s middle name is “argument” and on Latin he always takes half the period arguing over one construction. He is good on geome- erv and is always slow in handing in his papers never getting to finish them. Woody is a great favorite with every¬ body and was elected the smartest senior and best all round member of the class. ESTHER CLAPP, lo. “1 summon up remembrances of things past. ” Age 18. Weight, 120 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 7 in. Esther reminds one of a Puritan maiden with her pensive, quiet coun¬ tenance, but even though she is quite a contrast with the other members of the class, she is greatly liked by all. Nothing ever stirs her up very much, except when Miss Howard calls on her—but that is enough to excite any¬ body. Vait© 24

KATIE BROOKS, lo. “Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax.” Age 17. Weight, 110 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 2 in. With Katie’s charming personality and good looks, no wonder she was elected the prettiest girl in the class and she fills the part to perfection. She is a quiet little body, and takes life just as it is without any argu¬ ment whatever. “Coach Class” is her favorite pastime with Professor Gantt. JENNIE ELIZABETH BRITTON. To. “I would rather laugh at the present than have sad experience for a teacher.” Age 17. Weight, 105 lbs. FI eight, 5 ft., 1 in. Critic To. Society, ’Id; Glee Club, ’13. Last year a great addition was made to our dass in the shape of this young lady, who hailed from Norfolk. Jen¬ nie is one of the most popular girls and especially when she comes from her home at recess. One of her great attractions is her capability of “do¬ ing” vaudeville songs, which she does with much success. She has black curly hair and brown eyes—the com¬ bination is certainly dangerous. ! a6e 23

ETHEL COX, lo. FLOSSIE HURDLE DENNY, McN. , “A maiden of sixteen summers.” Age 16. Weight, 105 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 2 in. Marshal, ’13; Vice-President McN., ’14; Editor Sage, ’10. Speaking of sarcastic maids, Flossie takes the prize away from all of them. She is a very coy little girl and it is amazing to see how one so small can solve such difficult geometry prop’s, but she does it with the greatest ease. Seldom is a zero put down for her, therefore she is considered a mighty lucky girl in the Class of 1914. ‘ ‘ A little body wherein is lodged a mighty mind.”’ Age 16 Weight, 112 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 3 in. Every one likes Ethel on account of her charming personality and with her generous disposition she has won many friends during her four years at G. H. S. She is “crazy” about curls and ofttiines does she imp ' ore Pauline to “fix my hair in curls” but strange to say she doesn’t get cur ' s, but only twisted ends. Although Math, is her hardest subject she likes it best of all on account of her instructor. Page 2S
