DEXTER PECKINPAUGH We who knew her well saw something in her soul others could not see. She loves a good time and enjoys life thoroughly. Not a candidate for the Getting by Club. Possibly her greatest popularity is due to her being a sister to .Mark. GLADYSE A. CROMER ' Mle is a fool who thinks by force or skill To turn the current of this woman ' s will.

CHARLES G. RIGGS No maids need smile at him. My meaning in saying that he is a good man is to have you un der- stand me that he is sufficient. A man of few words, therefore, one of the best. KATE E. DUGGINS Oh when she ' s angry, she is keen and shrewd. Not the quietest yet one of the most . winsome. She never believes in letting work interfere with her social duties. Popular with the boys of all ages. Attrac- tive in looks and words. A good student. ERNEST M. POLLARD Let it be understood that 1 shall pursue this course no longer. The popular yell leader of H. H. S. Polly is not afraid of work, he can sleep by it. An expert with a Saxon. Famous as a ladies man. Believes that variety is the spice of life. A good scout.
