Lena Ruth is the bright member of our class, who always gets A’s” in her studies. She works, but at the same time doesn’t neglect her “heart string.” A jolly Senior, loved by all.

Dependable with a capital “D.” Full of service and understanding. Howard is generous, fun- loving. and mixes pleasure with work. He can strike a happy medium in everything. Look for him in the Feature Section. Yes, he’s certainly popular. As a Business Manager, he has the gold.n touch. “A smile for aU, a welcome ( lad; A jovial, coaxiny way he had.” ANNIE MAE SPURLOCK President of Mary Bradley Society, first semes- ter. '30 : Treasurer of Senior Class. ’30 : Pianist of Mary Bradley Society, ’29; President of Sopoho- more Class, ’28. Annie Mae is one of the most attractive and charming students of Bradley. Hair waved to perfection (by nature), how could she help being popular and admired? Ask “Kinky ” It is very amusing to see the twinkle of mischief and fun which often appears in her eyes and startles those about her. “Here in a yrl with a heart and a nmi’.e That makes the bubble of life worth while.” OPAL TIPPS Basketball. ’27. ’28; Glee Club. ’28; Critic of Thoron Society. ’30.

SENIOR III GRACE GASAWAY Basketball, '27, ’28 : Secretary of Senior Class. ’30. There is the tiniest particle of reserve about Grace that makes you more pleased than ever to discover her naturally warm and likable nature. Her neatness is one of her greatest attractions. Grace has only one weakness—a student at Au- burn. “ I cherry smile, a pleasant way: We'd like to meet her every day. NELLIE GREENE Treasurer of Thoron Society. 30. A sweet, quiet girl, who by her quaint ways ha endeared herself to us all. We just wish every one could be as lovable and willing to help in every way. Whenever we need anything «lone, we can depend on Nellie. Loyal, capable, ami sincere, she is certainly one of the best. We thank you for yourself, Nellie. “Who best bear his mild yoke. They serve him best.” SAMUEL JOHNSON Football. ’29. '30 ; Treasurer of Junior Class, ’29 : President of Senior Class. ’30. As a student, he ranks with the best. He is especially fond of History. Samuel has been in our class from the beginning, and proved a very loyal and earnest working member. We feel that our class has bten benefited by his presence Sam- uel and Howard were always together, and we’ll miss this pair next year. A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men.” SARA KIRCUS Secretary of Junior Class. '29: Basketball. 27, ’28 ; Glee Club, '28 : Cheer Leader of Thoron Soci- ety. '29. She may be little, but O my ! When she smiles, every one is gay. Bubbling over with happiness, genuinely happy herself. Sara radiates sunshine and good cheer. Truly a little girl who makes a great stir in the world. The joiliest, happiest sort of a piri. And a friend to every one.” ANN LOVILL Bradleykan Stair, '29, '30: Treasurer of Mary Bradley Society.

She’s hard to define, but we all say emphatically she has pep. personality, popularity—plus. If you’re looking for an all-round girl, you need go no further. Ann is a jewel anti a leader in Brad- ley’s activities. Just glance at her honors. She certainly has a head for business. “And a bit of a smile for the passerby. As she lends a helping hand.” 20
