s im Hs f. 21 s Q69 February Graduates SARAH TRAVERS ANDERSON An event of great signihcance happened one morning about three years agog namely, Sarah Anderson entered our school. Since then she has been an in- valuable personage among us. To see her as she is, to appreciate her real worth, to understand her strength of character, are things not accomplished by a mere casual acquaintance. You must know her, and to know here is to love her.

One moment she is very serious and dignihedg the next, full of laughter and good humor. She is also a ood student. Because of her sincerity ant? her sweet disposition. she leaves in John Marshall many friends, who wish her much success and happiness. Forum Cluhq Harwood Literary-Society. IRIS ARMOUR Here is one richly endowed with the spoils of Nature. Not being satisfied with her conquest of Nature, she has successfully attacked the hearts of her classmates and captured them all, She did not receive her Hrst nam: in the manner that Narcissus obtained his. for she is not vain but unassuming and possessed of a quiet mien. Hilarity some- times breaks through this mien, and we find a young lady with laughing eyes, whose gleeful quips and jests are pleasing to a. . xl EAN RHEA HACKER Scholastic ability and a pleasing per- sonality are not always found in a girl with an attractive appearance, but Jean has all of these. With such charming qualities, there is no reason why she should not have a happy and successful future.

Q lbllfs. my spirit just as much as the players on the field. At the end of our Sophomore year we knew that even the steady, scholarly students whom it was difficult to picture making a dashing run for a touchdown or a brilliant serve with a tennis racket were also showing commendable school spirit by upholding the academic honors gf ,the school. Perhaps the greatest and most lasting benefit which we derived from our experiences as Sophomores in the year iozg, was the lesson of concentra- tion' and deliberation upon a set object. We think our perspective of life will in future years be influenced by that lesson. Our junior year was the age of Anticipation. In another year we would have reached our Senior year, and have acquired that subtle prestige which is the traditional heritage of the Senior. The friendships which had been begun in our Freshman year had become mellow and prime. lt was the year when we heard much of exemplary behavior. We were then the envy of the Sopho- mores and the hope of the Seniors. Ours was a glory reiiected from the Seniors. Yet, it was not wholly reflected. We were about to enter the vestibule to a much anticipated adventure which awaits the high school student when he makes his Exodus from his Alma Mater. , And then, the Age of Realization. Seniors, at last, with a world behind us and a world before us! Diogenes with his lantern looking for an honest man was not half so diligent in his Search as some of us who were in search for an elusive credit or extra point necessary for graduation. A point! A point! My diploma for a point! Such was the hue and cry of some of us as we juggled our courses of study in the effort to find any weak spot in our outlined plans before it was too late. Never has that number, thirty-six, loomed so important and elusive. But fortunately most of us managed to get North of Thirty-six. I A ' The whole of our Senior year was not spent, however, in looking for ipoints, or in a revival of learning. Our Senior year saw the initiation and beginning of student government. It has begun not so much as an organization, as an awakening to a principle hitherto neglected at john Marshall. lt is a principle, the upholding of which will engender in the students of john Marshall the germs of self-dependence, subordination to proper authority, and, we think, will bring about a closer bond between the faculty and student body. lt is the medium for teaching co-operation and team-work. The class of 'zo has seen but the be- ginning of this new movement. Its life or death rests with those who follow in our footsteps. We are convinced that it will prosper with you, by you, in you, for you. A'-To you from falling hands we throw the flaming torch. Be yours to hold it high-. in 1926 N9 Twenty-Four

W fl up f' wx 'X x I J INI its TALLEY BALLOU Talley is tall and rather slim, with blue eyes and light curly hair, of which every girl has reason to be envious. His mild pleasantry, blended with a shrewd, confi- dent air too well portray his calm and unassuming nature. One may find it rather difficult to appreciate this lad, but when once this has been done, a lasting friendship is easily formed. ELEANOR VIRGINIA BASS When you see Eleanor's name in Who's Who, you will find that she is quiet, like most deep thinkers, that she has character like all great thinkersg that her personality attracts her friends, and her real worth holds them. She is a good student and true friend. Life has success reserved for Eleanor. RECORD Stajg Girls' High School Clubp Athletic Association, Friendship Club. CHARLES WARREN BEALE Charley possesses a big bass voice and a big heart. He is frank and true, firm in what he believes to be right, and thoroughly unselfish. His untiring efforts in the orchestra have won him many friends by whom his jokes and ever present grin will surely be missed. I-Iere's wishing you all possible success in life, Charley!

DOROTHY HASTINGS BEEBE Labonne, la petite, la savoute Dorothy, with her laughing blue eyes, her auburn hair, her goodly proportion of that elusive thing called charm, has endeared herself to john Ivlarshall.
