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.

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.

LYNDON BENNETT FRANCIS BLACKWOOD Age 16; Height 5 feet 5 inches Weight 130 pounds Much to himself he thought but little spoke.” The best goods come in small packages, and this is true of Lyndon. A hard fighter and a square player in a cool, quiet way—this is Lyndon. One feels that he could be trusted at all times in any emergency and would never prove unfaithful. Try as hard as he does. Lyndon cannot conceal the laughing light in his merry black eyes. Age 18; Height 5 feet 9 inches Weight 143 pounds Distinct in individualities.” Francis’s complicated nature makes him all the more interesting. He may be counted upon as always saying the thing least ex pected, and for this reason he is ever a source of joy to the opposite sex. A boy worth while, a boy who will fight to the bitter end for what he believes is right—this is Francis. Athletic Association, 1921-22. Literary Society, 1920. Senior Football Team. 1922.
