MAX EARNHARDT Age 16; Height 6 feet Weight 165 pounds “None but himself could be his parallel. ' Brown eyes, slow drawl, easy-going ways— “Ya-as,” that’s Max! He has never been known to be in a hurry about anything; and we have yet to see him ruffled or excited. He possesses a great deal of dry wit that is al¬ ways cropping out at the most unexpected times, especially in Latin Class and during Senior Class meetings. Trust Max for doing or saying something that no one else would have thought of in a 100 years. ERNEST BARR Age 16; Height 5 feet 10 inches Weight 160 pounds “Speak thy mind.” Ernest is one of the most studious members of our class. He is really as “earnest” as his name implies. His hobby is science and we can picture him in later years among the fore¬ most scientists. His teachers speak of him as a human question mark. Ernest enjoys an argument nearly as much as his class chum. Paul Causey, does. Junior Marshall, 1921. Manager of Baseball. 1921. Junior Student Council. 1921. Treasurer of Boys’ Lit¬ erary Society.

BRYAN BARKER Age 17; Height 5 feet 11 inches Weight 168 pounds “He will fight a good fight and then he ready for any fate.” “Bunny” is rather stingy with his affections but his concentration has made it stronger for those he likes. Sometimes, for reasons he knows not why, the world to him is all wrong. It is generally conceded that he is a born gen¬ ius and he bids fair to go to the legislature within ten years after graduation. CARLOTTA BARNES Age 18; Height 5 feet 1 inch Weight 110 pounds “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” Carlotta has won the worthy title of the “squarest girl in the Senior Class,” and we don’t know of any one who deserves it moie, for she is on the square with her teachers, with her classmates, and with the world in general. Sincerity and frankness are two of Carlotta’s outstanding characteristics and these, together with her reliable and depend¬ able spirit, have won for her many a staunch admirer.

EULA BEAL Age 18; Height 5 feet 3 inches Weight 108 pounds “The better part of valor is discretion.” You may never hear much from her, for Eula is a girl who believes that “actions speak louder than words.” In her quiet, unassum¬ ing way, she is always on the job and always ready and willing to do her part. We wish that more of us had this splendid trait of Eula’s, for then the Class of ’22 would be even better (if possible) than it is now. RUTH ELIZABETH BENJAMIN Age 17 ; Height 5 feet 1R inches Weight 92 pounds “My honor is my life; both grow in one, Take honor from me and my life is done.’ Here’s Ruth, the smallest member of our class. Although small in stature, Ruth has a great mind. She is very witty, a good student, and dependable. With her good nature, Ruth has done much to make G. H. S. a pleasant place, and for this reason she has endeared herself to many. Mary Lyon Literary Society, 1920. Athletic Association, 1920-21-22. Athletic Association, 1918-19-20-21. Hiking Club, 1920.
