MARGUERITE BICKERS Yes, Marguerite is leaving us, Although she hasn’t yet decided on her career, it is rumored that she will specialize in Latin. Marguerite is one of those happy, care-free girls, bubbling over with fun and good humor. Her winning ways have gained for her a host of friends in old John Marshall. Patriotic Club. Athletic Association. WILLIAM C. BENTLEY There are many good reasons for Bill’s popularity. His success as an athlete and his fame as a musician, together with his perpetual good humor, make up a personality which has won the friend- ship and admiration of the whole school. And when before the cheery fireside, one recalls old friends and old memories, big “Ox,” with his bigger heart, will be among the foremost. Football Team ’21;’22. Patriotic Club. Athletic Association. Business Staff, Marshallite. Sergeant, Cadet Corps. Monogram Club. NELLIE BINFORD If I were to describe Nellie, no one else would be able to use the dictionary in the library for the rest of the term, nor would there be room for anything else in the Marshallite. Count yourself unlucky if you haven’t been in a French class with her. Good luck and best wishes, cherie. Girls’ High School Club. Athletic As- sociation. MINNIE LEE BLANKENSHIP Just being happy is a fine thing to do, Looking on the bright side rather than the blue. This is Minnie Lee. We hope that when she becomes somebody’s stenog- rapher, she will meet with the best of luck.

MORRIS BERLIANT While not the most popular Senior and at best a small part of the class, yet all the same Morris is one of us, and we are glad of it. With whole- hearted sincerity we wish him the best o luck always. © BERIHA BETHEL A lass with dark eyes—brown eyes that twinkle merrily upon occasion—is Bertha. She wears a ready smile and has a cheery word for everyone. Her forte is helping others in any way she can. This special characteristic has won her many friends who wish her the very best life has to offer. DONALD BENTLEY Nothing much is known about this cynical cadet except the fact that he is an I. D. R. “shark” and hates flappers. Almost everyone has heard of his pheno- menal knowledge of drill, and nearly everyone who knows him has at some time asked his version of some military movement. Corporal, Cadet Corps. Athletic Association. MARY LUCILLE BIBB Always ready to lend a helping hand— that is the most characteristic thing about Mary. She is an enthusiastic Marshallite, a sympathetic friend, and a good pupil. Here’s to her success in the future!

B. GARY BLAKE This specimen of humanity is as full of deviltry as a porcupine is of quills. Next to getting himself and some one else into mischief, he likes a joke. In spite of all this, he is a good student, while his habitual good nature makes him liked by all who know him. Athletic Association. EDYTHE WHITE BOWE Edythe is one of the stars on the horizon of the Senior Class. She shines in everything—even physics! Her one passion is her dog; her one fault, the deliberate way in which she puts on her hat! And folks, she’s the best kind of a sport—always willing to try anything once—even speeding when there’s a “cop” behind. “Edy,” may you always succeed in bluffing misfortune as easily as you bluffed that cop. Patriotic Club. Girls’ High School Club. Athletic Association. JOHN CLARKE BOOTH There is a boy in school who resem- bles a certain deceased English king in features and military bearing—‘Mike,” alias King Rufus. “Mike’s” good humor has gained for him many friends, who will miss him greatly when he leaves for V. M. Il IDA BOYD “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is Ida, for she is always ready to lend a helping hand to any one. A true pal, a good student, and a faithful friend all characterize Ida. Her ready smile and pleasing personality have won her many friends at John Marshall. Athletic Association. 29
