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.

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

Activities: Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); Ath¬ letic Association (1), (2), (3), (4); Stringers (4) ; Poetry Club (4). “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Catharine has the foregoing as her motto and lives up to it. She passes si subjects as easily, apparently as the rest of us pass four. Never a groan do we hear from her, and, most wonder¬ ful of all. she’s not very proud of herself. Would there were more like her! ROBERT RICHARD CRABTREE “Dick” Age 17; weight 135; height 5 feet, 8 inches. Activities: l.iterarv Society (1), (2); Dramatic Club (4); Science Club (2), (4); President of the Class (2) ; Assistant Manager Foot¬ ball; Athletic Association (1), (2), (3), (4). “Talking, he knew not why, and cared not what.” Dick is an inveterate ladies ' man. 11 is senior ring has known more than one lily white hand. He has the added (?) attraction of ,a large sup¬ ply of wit and the manners of a Chesterfield— when he wants to use them. Dick is a thor¬ oughly good sport, in the best sense of the word. EVANGELINE DANIELS “Evangeline” Age 18; weight 93; height 4 feet. 10 inches. Activities: Literary Society (2); Spanish Club (2); Glee Club (3); Athletic Association (3). To improve one’s mind—ah, that is a worthy ambition!” Evangeline is duty’s devoted servant. Other things simply don ' t enter into her calculations. She does what she ' s supposed to do and makes no complaint. Evangeline is also one of the most musical members of the class. Altogether she ' s a good citizen of Greensboro High School. ,7
