FRANK ASHTON PRITCHETT, Di. “Wisdom, beauty, health, what more could a man desire?” Age 16. Weight, 110 lbs. He : ght, 5 ft, 3 in. Di. Society, Commencement Debater, ’14. Frank is a very necessary and valu¬ able addition to our class, especially as a subject of good natured ridicule. He is the smallest boy in the class physi- ealjdv, but mentally he is indeed great. A born orator is he and although hard work gets it, he is very entertaining with his oratorical line of talk. When Frank is thinking very hard he has rather a peculiar look on his face and often his c’assmates go into paroxi- vsms of mirth over it. But taking him all for all, he is bright in his books and gets fair marks, even if he is not so beautiful to behold. MATTIE ESTELLE PORTER, Io. “How poor are they that have not patience. ’ ’ Age 19. Weight, 105 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 2 in. Estelle is the most quiet girl in the class and ery seldom says anything but she has a very decided opinion of her own, and it takes “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” to make her change her ideas. She is of a very nervous temperament and some¬ times when she knows a thing she won’t recite on it because she is so easily embarrassed. Stubborness is her one word. I’llSe 1

IDA MAY MARRS, McN. •“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’’ Age 18. Weight, 118 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 4 in. Ida May talks like a Yankee, but it is quite an insult to her to call her such, and she is very proud of the fact that the Southland is her home. She gets into great arguments and says ex¬ actly what she thinks to all her teach¬ ers and especially to Mr. “Latin’’ Williams. Oft times her tongue gets her into trouble. Study fills up all her time and therefore she gets good marks. ELBERT FRANCIS LEWIS, Phi. “How pretty his blushing was and how he blushed again.’’ Age 16. Weight. 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Vice-President Class, ’14; President Phi. Society, ’14; Secretary Phi. Socie¬ ty, ’13; Censor Phi. Society, ’12; Base¬ ball ’13; Secretary and Treasurer Ath¬ letic Association, ’14; Marshal, ’13; Ed- itor-in-Chief Sage, ’14; Editor Reflector. ’14; Second Censor Phi. Society, ’14; Commencement Debater, ’14. If Elbert wouldn’t blush so easily and cut his keen brown eyes around so quickly the other way when a girl looks at him, he would be the most sought after young man in G. II. S. His one important duty is to ring the gong anil many appealing glances does he get to ring it a minute sooner on Geometry class, which he seldom does. The two studies he is especially fond (t) of are Geometry and Chemis¬ try, and he makes excellent marks on them. Piiie .‘JO

L (VI.Wou’ GURNEY BIRDSALL REECE, Phi. “He stood firm at his post.’’ Age 18. Weight, 148 lbs. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Vice-President Phi. Society, ’13; Second Censor Phi., ’14; Football, ’13. Gurney has the benevolent gift of making friends where’er he goes and is a decided favorite with the G. H. S. faculty as well as pupils. Truly he is a football star and with his manly strength and ruddy cheeks more than once he has gained a victory. When Gurney recites on History he takes up the whole period telling one little thing and if he is asked to read!—good-bye to the recitation period. He never says much, but when he does say any¬ thing it is always full of wit and humor. FLORINE ELMA RAWLINS, To. “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Age 18. Weight, 113 lbs. Height, 5 ft.., 7 in. President I o. Society, ’14; Exchange Editor Sage ’14; Literary Editor Re¬ flector. ’14; Class Poet, ’14; Glee Club, ’13. Truly she is the spokesman of the class and well does she deserve the title. Perhaps some of her sarcasm and witty remarks can be attributed to the fact that she is topped by a crown of golden red hair. Her carri¬ age and manner is that of a modern suffragette and Gen. Rosalie Jones will soon have a dangerous rival. Forget¬ ting her dignity and haughty manner she has a generous, amiable disposition and is one of the most attractive girls in G. H. S. Page 32
