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

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

MARY JOSEPHINE GRIMSLEY, Io. ‘ ‘ When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.” Age 18. Weight, 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 7 an. President to. Society, ’13; Treasur¬ er To. Society, ’12; Marshal, ’13; Spon¬ sor Athletic Association. ’13; Moni¬ tor Class, ’14; Glee Club. “Mary” as she is called by some and ‘‘Josie” by others is one of the best looking girls in G. H. S. and a more attractive one can nowhere be found. She wears a smile that vcon ' t come off ami with those dangerous flirting brown eyes of hers ‘he even makes Prof. W. A. H. Gantt smile at her dur¬ ing Chemistry; also she stays for ‘‘coach class” occasionally in the af¬ ternoon. When she knows a thing she knows she knows it and especially on Geometry and History. Mary was elected the most attractive girl in the class and she justly deserves the honor. ANNIE FRED FOUSHEE Io. ‘‘Music seemed to breathe from her very words.” Age 17. Weight, 135 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Critic Io. Society, ’12, ’14; Leader Rooters Club, ’13; Editor Reflector, ’14: Historian Class, ' 14; Historian Io. Society, ’13. ‘‘Lengthy” was too bashful to in¬ clude her own character sketch in her ‘‘Senior Editor” work, so let it be known that this was done by a friend. She is an excellent example of the old saying, ‘‘Let us work while we work,, and play while we play,” and illus¬ trates the first part in class and the latter in study period. Her two most noted characteristics are her ability to compose and the ease with which she can ‘‘get around” the teachers,, especially at recess. H a£e 26
