Rebecca Isabel Pultz Carl Augustus Stiedtman Chorus, ’28- ' 29. “O gentle manner, unaffected mind, lover of peace, and friend of human- kind.” There is not enough we can say for good- hearted “Issy, who is always ready to lend a helping hand. Being a practical and effi- cient worker, she always tries to get the best out of life and make herself one whom we all enjoy. Margaret McKee Lackey Toreadors, ’26; Chorus, ’26- ' 29; Basket- ball, ’26-’28; The; Crystal Staff, ’29; Man- ager of Chorus, ’29; Senior Play, ’29. “She hath a lean and hungry look.” We present for your approval, “Bob,” and approve you certainly will, because she is one of our most outstapding leaders in all school activities. As the leader of the cho- rus, or “Maud” in the senior play, we see her natural ability and her willingness to help. Ole L. H. S. will never forget you, “Bob.” Harry Waldon Bosserman Cheer leader, ’29 ; Hall of Fame, ’29. “A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.” “Ah! I am shocked.” Would you believe it, here’s Harry our class clown, whose un- limited source of jokes and tricks makes our school life just one big laugh after another. One who is so elastic that he can draw him- self up with one hair, is of course our cheer leader. All together, let’s give a Siren, yell for Harry. Levina Anderson Mahane Anne Smith Scholarship, ’26 ; Executive Committee, ’27; The Crystal Staff, ’28-’29; EeJw Staff, ’28-’29; Basketball. ’26-’29 ; Manager basketball, ’29; News Editor Echo, ’29; Chorus, ’29; Stage Manager Senior Play, ’29 ; Hall of Fame, ’29 ; Editor-in- Chief The Crystal, ’29. “Nothing great was ever achieved with- out enthusiasm.” “Red” is one of the best known of our class. Besides having the credit of being the most dependable an,d accommodating, she has also won for herself honor of Editor of The Crystal. Her courage, will power and kindly interest make her a friend whose de- parture we regret. Executive Committee, ’26 ; Echo Staff, ’28 ; The Crystal Staff, ’28; Manager of Basketball, ’29; Senior Play, ’29; Hall of Fame, ’29. “Excuse his devilish ways.” Here’s the perpetual tormentor, who pro- vokes many a smile with his humorous re- marks on all subjects not found in, books. We couldn’t do without Carl to shorten the day. So here’s to that fountain of original re- marks a hearty wish of good luck. Margaret Louise Moses Executive Committee, ’28; Basketball, ’28- ’29; Echo Staff, ’29; Chorus, ’28-’29; Senior Play ’29; Captain Girls’ Basketball, ’29; Hall of Fame, ’29. “Come and trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe.” Stop I Look ! Listen ! Here’s “Mose,” one of the most beloved of our class, who won the vote of being the friendliest and best natured, not to mention her athletic and dramatic ability. We hate to part with you, “Mose.” Julia Whitten Dodson Basketball, ’28-’29; Hall of Fame, ’29; Chorus, ’28-’29; Editor-in-Chief of Echo, ’29. “A quenchless star, forever bright.” We need no introduction to Julia. Her abundant amount of school spirit in boosting every cause makes her well known. In two years’ time she gained first place as Editor of the Echo and a leading part in the senior play. Such a rare combination of spirit and determination is seldom found. Good luck, Julia. Keep it up. Marshall Okie Hostetter Senior Play, ’29. “Short but sweet, for inches do not make the man.” When we first met “Toby,” two years ago, we wondered why children were allowed to come to High School, but we soon learned that he was sent to amuse the class and serve as a target for the older boys. We couldn’t have done without you, “Toby.” Best wishes for a happy life. [ 13 ]

Thomas Kerr Laird The Three Graces, ' 28; Executive Com- ■ mittee, ' 29; Hall of Fame, ' 29; Business Manager Crystal, ’29. “Still achieving, still pursuing.” We’re mighty glad Kerr join,ed us in 1927, and we wish it might have been sooner, for in this brief time he has won all our hearts, and gained for himself the honor of being business manager of Thl Crystal and hav- ing parts in two senior plays. Kerr, we are sure you ' ll gain future suc- cess in all you do. Helen Moore Swink Chorus, ' 28, ' 29. “Always laughing, always jolly, Always full of fun and folly.” We ' ll always think of Helen as the girl with a cheery “hello” for everyone she meets. Her congeniality, happy outlook on life, and genuine sportsmanship make her a never-to-be-forgotten member of the class of ' 29. Hazel Leta Bradley Knowledge comes of learning well re- tained.” Break through that reserve and you ' ll find a girl worthy of your interest, with a disposition that spells cheerfulness. Al- though Hazel does not make friends quickly, once you know her, you’ll have to look far to find a more genial, warm-hearted com- panion. Emory Alexander Lewis Hi-Y Club, ' 27, ' 28; The Three Graces. ' 28 ; T HE Crystal, ' 28 ; Basketball, ' 29 ; Bus- iness Manager Echo, ’29; Manager Football, ’29 ; Hall of Fame, ’29 ; Senior Play, ’29 ; Business Manager Senior Play, ' 29 ; Mono- gram Club, ’28, ' 29. “He has an oar in every man’s boat, and a finger in every pie.” As “Sunshine” Emory spreads light on the darkest day, as our “local boy” he’s known as the most school-spirited with a fin- ger in every pie, and as “Lewy” he possesses an inexhaustible supply of energy that over- flows to make him one of the sincerest work- ers in our class. Katherine Hoge Davidson Anne Smith Scholarship, ’27 ; Echo Staff, ’27, ’29; The Crystal Staff, ' 29; Chorus, ' 28, ’29; Property Manager Senior Play, ’29; Senior Play, ’29; Basketball, ’29. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” “Kitty” is one whom we feel we can all depend on without the slighest chance of be- ing disappointed. Her pleasant unaffected na- ture radiates with loyal devotion and com- plete understapding that goes together to coin her an ideal friend. All of us wish you happiness and success. Talmadge Radford Monogram Club, ’26-’29; Football, ’25- ' 29; Baseball, ’26; Hi-Y Club, ’27-’28; Hall of Fame, ' 28. “Although he has much wit, he is very shy in using it.” Who just made that droll remark? You’d never guess it. It was Red,” that quiet fel- low in the corner who never lets you know he’s around — but, on the athletic field, take care, or he’ll put that ball right over the line. Luck be with you, “Red.” Some day you’ll surprise us all. Mamie Rebecca McCormick “Let every man mind his own business.” To say Mamie is extremely quiet, is put- ting it mildly, but like all quiet girls once you know her, you’ll find great depths of character, as everyone can ascertain from the way she goes about her work, steadily, per- sistently, and efficiently. How could a girl like this ever fail ? Virginia Marvin Thomas Library Committee, ’27 ; Charm School, ’27 ; T oreadors, ’26 ; Chorus, ' 26-29 ; Ex- ecutive Committee, ’29; The Crystal, ’29; Senior Play, ’29; Hall of Fame, ’29. “If eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being.” It’s joy to associate with Virginia. Her rollicking good nature, humor and generos- ity make her a hard friend to replace. She’s responsive and adaptable and ever on the job to face with courage anything that comes her way. We stamp her O. K.
