LACY LITTLE McALISTER, Hi. ‘ ‘True a, s- steel, sincere and independent Age, ]7; weight, 142; height, 5 ft. 6 4 ins. Lacy is truly a fortunate boy, for he is a favorite with all the students and the faculty and has been elected the most popular boy in his class. He deserves this popularity, for he is one of those rare beings on whom you can always depend. Lacy is a good athlete and an all-round fine boy. He just will argue and “e’en though vanquished he could argue still. ’ ’ LILLIAN S. M ERR I MON, Jo. “Her lively loots a sprightly mind disclose. 1 Age, 17; weight, 106; height, 5 ft. 4 ins. Lillian is probably one of the most popu¬ lar girls in the school, being the favorite of both sexes. She is naturally one of the brightest Seniors, for although she asserts her constant lack of preparation, she always “pulls swell grades.’’ She is quite an “ivory tickler” and a first-class “Mrs. Ver¬ non Castle,” being elected our best exponent of the dance. She has also been elected the the most attractive girl in the class, and, lest her modesty be doubted, let us assure the gentle reader that this sketch was written by two classmates.

Evelyn always has some bright remark and is perhaps the wittiest girl in the class. She is also the only girl who takes the com¬ mercial course. In this department she has done very good work and has shown that girls as well as boys can make good in busi ness life. Evelyn is equally good in other subjects and she never fails to recite. .1 MSS I E EDWIN HOWARD, To. “Happy am I; from care I ' m free! Age, 18; weight, 115; height, 5 ft. 5 ins.
