Herbert will make good. JAMES HERBERT COLE, JR. ’’Babe” Age 18; weight 155; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: Football Squad 1921, 1922; Class Football 1921; Track Team 1919, 1920. 1921; Athletic Association 1919. 1920, 2921. 1922; Bovs ' Literary Society 1919. 1920; Monogram Club 1921. 1922. “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.” Herbert is very studious. If you go to the library in study period Herbert is always there, deeply engrossed in a book. He is not seen very much with the other students, seeming to prefer quiet solitude to the “merry party.” This quality, however, seems to have been a great asset to Herbert, as we have circumstantial evi¬ dence that he passed six subjects last semester. MACON CRAWFORD COMER Age 18; weight 140; height 5 feet, 8 2 inches. Activities: Annual Staff—Athletic Editor (4); Science Club (3), (4); Hi-Y Club (4): Ath¬ letic Association (3), (4); Class Basketball (4). “It’s a great plague to be too handsome a man.” M. C. is a quiet ( ?), good natured fellow who refrains from all association with the ladies? ? ? He is the only “(ieorgia Cracker” we can boast of and he certainly makes up for the scarcity. His greatest charm, the girls think, is his perma¬ nent wave, which is at once the envy and despair of every one in class. Page Twenty-one

Marjorie’s sweet disposition, rosy cheeks and innocent look have carried her sailing through the four years of her high school life. Her re¬ markable facility for getting on the good side of the teachers has led many to dub her “teach¬ er’s pet.” In fact, she has made an enviable record, not only in grades but in many other phases of activity. MARY ELIZABETH CHETTY ‘Chet Age 17; weight 145; height 5 feet. 5 inches. Activiies: Literary Society (2): Athletic sso- ciation (1). (2), (3), (4); Hiking Club (3); Hi-Collect (dub (3). The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair Are blend of the western sky. “Chet was voted the laziest girl in the Junior Class, but it was rank slander. The notoriously ignorant mob was. as usual, misinformed. Br Chet nevei tears hei haii oi goes into hysterics, they think she’s lazy. But she’s al¬ ways there with the goods, and generally with Ruth Hard.ng. HELEN ELIZABETH CLAPP “Hec Age 17; weight 138; height 5 feet, 4 inches.

(3), (4); Varsity Basketball (4); Vice-President Girls’ Athletic Association; Manager Girls ' Basket¬ ball Team (4); Athletic Editor High Life (4); Latin Club (4); Monogram Club (4); Liter¬ ary Society (2); Tennis Champion Doubles (4). She gave her hair to the winds to scatter. Hec is always good-natured. Even in a basketball game, in which she generally stars, her cheerful grin never disappears. The same may be said for her in a tennis game. She has the rare ability of both losing and winning grace¬ fully. “Sportsmanship’’ is her motto and she lives up to it to the last word.

His pompadour is really a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Walter ' s always in a good humor and generally Page Twenty-two m k- THE 1923 REFLECTOR NORMAN C.

A lion among the ladies is a dreadful thing.” “Coop” turned his energies to bridge-playing rather than to geometry. But he proved his loyalty to the high school by managing the var¬ sity football team (successfully) for two years. He is prominent in all activities. MARY ELIZABETH COTHRAN Mary Age 16; weight 105; height 5 feet, 6 inches. Her eyes are stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair.” Mary has made many friends since she came to us this year. Nor are they all of the fair sex. Boys, beware of those eyes. What it takes to make a real vamp. Mary has it. We greatly fear that Mary will smash all previous co-ed records at Carolina next year.
