MARGARET ALBRIGHT STROUD, McN. Her very frowns arc fairer far han smiles of other maidens are. Age 18 ; Weight 130; Height 5 ft. 8 in. Margaret is our business head and has for this reason been elected “Biggest Boss.” She tends to the petty worries and cares that accompany all “receptions” so as to leave the hostess calm and all serene. She is a strong asset to every organization of which she is a member and so has been in the Class of ' 17. There is no girl in the High School who can excel Margaret in the spirit which she has manifested during her High School career.

Favors to none, to all she smiles extends. Oft she rejects, but never once offends .” Age 16; Weight 108; Height 5 ft. 4 in. 4 ou wouldn t think this bright, sunshiny girl to be a heart-smasher, would you? The boys of the class gave her this name though and they are the ones to know. Elizabeth is simply crazy about Winston. Whenever the subject’s mentioned her heart begins to go pit-a-pat. However when she comes face to face with them, as when Winston plays Greensboro football, she is ™° r f, l oya ' t0 G. H. S. than the most loyal. pis is one of the most lovable girls at G. H. h. and has won by her simple traits or character many true and lo3 al friends. Monitor McN. Society T5; President McN.

jean colvin McAlister, McN. “He had a head to contrive, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to execute mis¬ chief.” Age 18; Weight 136; Height S ft. 7Vz in. Earle was voted the best all round boy in the Senior class, and justly does he deserve this honor. No matter in what he is concerned you will al¬ ways find him the moving spirit in it, ever giving his best. The earnest¬ ness and zeal with which he goes at every¬ thing from rooting to playing the part of a most ardent admirer can not be sur¬ passed. Along with rooting goes talking which is this individual’s long suit. He can with ease amuse the “cradle” and with even less difficulty win favor in the sight of many a parent of the fair sex. To this can be attributed his ability to secure “school night” dates where others are re¬ jected. With all these attractions no won¬ der Earle’s friends are innumerable. Monitor Phi.

OSCAR ALBERT BOYST, Dl. “Women or fools must like him or he dies. Age 19; Weight 133; Height 5 ft. 6 in. Ever since Oscar was in the eighth grade he has helped to create the spirit of the school. It would be hard to find anyone who has the interest of old G. H. S. closer to his heart than has Oscar. He is very obliging and will work his head off on any plan just so it’s a good one. He was chosen the biggest sport of the class. The girls usually like to have him around since he’s sure to have concealed in some of his pockets, either candy or chewing gum.

Ye nymphs of rosy lips and radiant eyes Age 17; Weight 109; Height S ft. 3 in. Variety is the spice of life” and so is “Pinkie.” We don’t know how we got along without her during the two years she spent at Salem but we found that the old saying goes, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Her sparkling eyes and ready wit attract and stir the hearts of the boys. Margaret is truly ' loved by every member of the Senior Class. In some way, unknown to us, she managed to ac- cpiire the epithet of “Class Flirt.”
