GRACE JOHNSON “Duck” “The secret of success is the constancy of purpose .” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ' 26; French Club, .’26. Grace is a girl of many moods. She often laughs contagiously, and then again she is a serious busi¬ ness girl. She works with the best of us and laughs with the worst of us. She doesn’t give voice to her opihions very often but when she does, we are sat¬ isfied that it is an opinion worth listening to. CATHERINE MARY KELLY “Kate” “If you want a girl who is first rate; Put in a thumb and pull out — Kate. Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Spanish Club, ’25. Catherine is one of our studious Seniors, and she believes in “knock ’em cold” where her lessons are concerned. She claims she will be a stenographer, but who knows? When you first know Catherine, you think she is quiet and dignified, but after you know her for quite a while, you find out that she can be as jolly and gay as any other girl. If “Kate” attempts anything, you may rest assured it will be finished. ROSALIE KYLE Puggy” “Be a task yre it or small, Do it well or not at all.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Junior Chorus, ’25; Winifred Fales Club, ’26; Journalism Club, ' 26. A small bundle of laughter—that’s Rosalie. Some people are blessed with talk. Rosalie is blessed with talk and laughter too, but we don’t mind as long as she goes about brightening up others. We find a serious side too. She has set the rest of us Seniors a good example. She is a dandy student, a good sport, and has a ready wit. MARTHA LOUISE LANE “Lou” “Of gentle manner, unaffected mind, Love of peace, and friend of human kind.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Latin Club, ' 23- ’24-’25-’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Class Poet, ’26; French Club, ’26. “The last of a long line of Lanes” is Louise. She is mighty good in Latin and she has nearly reached perfection as a student of our much loved” math. Louise seems to care little for the opposite sex. Perhaps she has taken this for her motto— “I will be happy and free, And I’ll be sad for no man.” ea

ANDREW DAVIDSON HOSEY “Andy” “Whence is thy learning? Hath tliy toil o’er books consum’d the mid¬ night oil?” Orchestra, ’24-’25-’26; Athletic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ’26; Sergeant-at-Arms French Club, ’26. “An dy” stands in the scant ranks of those who seem to have the nerve to defy the awesome faculty. He is quite a shiek and he doesn’t believe in worry or study, studying only from 7:30 p. m to about 7:31 p. m. every night. However, he manages to make most of his classes most of the time, and all of his classes occasionally. As a trombonist, he is a main¬ stay in the orchestra. ELIZABETH BAGNALL HOUSTON “Ibba” “When it comes to writing she has the rep, When it comes to life “Ibba” has the pep.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; J un ' or Chorus, ’25; Latin Club, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25; Treas¬ urer Journalism Club, ’26; Treasurer Glee Club, ’26; President D. D. K„ ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. “Ibba” is one of the best all around girls we know. We can always have a lot of fun when she is around, because she says such witty things. She is the only one of the “Gang” that can be depended on to say the right thing at the right time. We have found this to be true in more cases than one. Ibba ' s” personality is reflected in her face, but we have only one fault to find with her. She has man¬ aged to get to school on time only twice this year. ELLEN AMELIA IRONMONGER “El” “I hate no one, I am in charity with the world.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Latin Club, ’24- ’25-’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’26; Appreciation Club, ’25-’26. Ellen is not a very ardent lover of chemistry, but perhaps she’ll be an expert teacher yet. Where Charlie B. is concerned, Ellen is interested. The Seniors are still puzzling as to who this Charlie B. might be. Ellen never laughs until every one else has stopped, and then we have to laugh all over again with her. She never hurries, but we won’t say she is lazy. She just believes that “Haste makes waste.” MARGUERITE ELIZABETH IRONMONGER “Rita” “A merry heart, a ready smile.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Vice-President Sophomore Class, ’24; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Junior Chorus, ’25; Journalism Club, ’26; French Club, ’26. Marguerite is full of pep and fun. Her “hail fellow, well met” attitude has made her popular where ever she has been. “Rita” is a good student, and it is very seldom that we see her unprepared in any of her classes. She has a great deal of origin¬ ality in drawing. Her sketches of the “Flappers” and “Cake Eaters” of this generation are very realistic and true.

ESTELLE NAOMI LEWIS “Stei.” “Never grumbles, never shirks, She is one who does her work. ' ’ Athletic Association, ’23; Appreciation Club, ’24; French Club, ’26. Hark! that melodious voice! Who is its owner? Wily, Estelle Lewis, of course. That voice of hers will take her through the world if the giggle will not. She never worries over her studies nor pushes herself on anybody else, but she gets there just the same. “She is a jolly good fellow.” With quiet dignity and reserve she has made her way through the school so unobtrusively that only those who have known her best have realized her worth. MARY STRIBLING LOTTIER “Stuibbie” “Lillie but loud.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24-’25-’26; Basketball Squad, ’24- ’25; Journalism Club, ’25-’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’26; D. D. K., ' 26; French Club, ’26. “Stribbie” is the best all-around girl in our class. She is popular among both sexes and fits snugly any¬ where and at any time. She is attractive and pop¬ ular, and those laughing, sparkling eyes greet us every morning and start us for the day. Her clear voice is frequently heard resounding through our halls—after school, of course. She is small, but everywhere at once. ELI,A ELIZABETH MARTIN “Libby” “An air of good humor always surrounds her.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; French Club, ’25- ’26; Junior Chorus, ’25; Latin Club, ’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’26; Journalism Club, ’26. “Libby” can laugh and she can talk, and she does both of these. She is very sympathetic and good- natured, and impresses us all as being serious. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a good time, because she does. Elizabeth is a very important member of the “Senior Trio.” Whenever we see her, we know that R.osalie Kyle and Elizabeth Cole¬ man are not far away. JOHN CABEI- MF.SSICK “Jim” “Climb, though the rocks be ragged. Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Spanish Club, ’25-’26; Cdee Club, ’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26. “Jim” is our coming Caruso. His pleasing bari¬ tone has already begun to attract attention. He is the boy that passes six out of six classes and aston¬ ishes us al l by his knowledge. There is one thing Cabel will never forget. Just ask him what ar¬ rangement” means, and he is sure to give a correct definition. His wavy hair and bewitching ways have found their way into the hearts of certain girls who live in Newport.
