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.

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.

JOE BRITTON PAUL CAUSEY Age 19; Height 5 feet 7 inches Weight 143 pounds Age 18; Height 5 feet inches Weight 142 pounds ‘Once a friend, Always a friend!” “He could on cither side dispute, Confute, change sides, and still confute.” Aha! here’s that young gentleman who has caused many a N. C. C. W. girl to have pal¬ pitation of the heart. It is a known fact that when arranging basket-ball games out of town Managers always inquire if Joe is to play; for they say that is a determining factor in the number of female spectators. That’s all right though, Joe, we never complain about your preference for out-of-town girls, when we remember your basket-ball playing for old G. H. S. When the Senior Class began to look around for the High Life Editor-in-Chief, Paul was the one chosen because of his alert mind and high standard in scholarship. His favorite pastime is arguing. We wonder why he didn’t enter the Triangular Debate. Paul never fails in courtesy toward any one, as is shown by his being voted the politest boy in the Senior Class. Football Squad, 1919.
