James Burdett Worrell “O i their own merits modest men are dumb. ' “Tootie” is the possessor of a sweet smile and an athletic record. He is very popular among the girls and hoys in school, and was one of the star football players of last season. “Tootie” does not need to apply himself to his books with eagerness because he is naturally bright —he entertains the class with his original witty remarks. He is always ready for fun of any kind, but manages at the same time to be a favorite with his teachers. Ruth Werblun Or light or dark, or short or tall. She sets a spring to snare them all; All's one to her above her fan She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban. Ruth is truly the society butterfly of the class, for she is an exceedingly popular young lady. At least, one would judge so by the number of boxes of candy she receives, and by the number of young gentlemen with whom she is so frequently seen. Ruth can also play basketball she enjoys the distinction of being one of our best players. Taken all in all, she is a very attractive, accomplished young lady' for “she can dance, she can sing, she can do most every thing”, and she is, with all of this, just a real High School Girl.

John Allen Cutts There wasn't a minute When Jack wasn't in it. We do not need to mention the name, Jack Cutts, for every one knows Jack. He is the life and fun of the whole school, and every one of the pupils like him. By his jolly-nature and mischievous ways he has won the hearts of all the teachers as well. Besides all of his frivolity, there is also a studious and sober side of his character. He is bright in his studies and when the Class of 1921 graduates, Jack will not be missing, but “Johnny-on-the-spot” as usual. Catherine Louise Rollins “The firste virtue, miss, if thou wilt lern, Is to restraine and kepen wel thy tonge. Catherine, or “Cat” to us, is the most vivacious person imaginable. She is always moving. always “on the go,” and on the basketball court—well, you’ve heard of “greased lightn-• mg . “Cat” has never liked to study, preferring always to steer her Studebaker around town than pore over school books. However, “Cat” has a level head on her shoulders and a good supply of the rarest of all gifts—common sense. She is very “high brow,” for she takes her greatest pleasure in dining at the “Florence Hotel” because of its attractive meals.

John Edward Whitton “Up! Up! My friends and quit your books. “Eddie” is our chief source of amusement, especially in Chemistry Class where he is sure to break the monotony of smelling H2S gas. “Eddie’s” ready wit has cured our blues many a dull day, and behind real wit and orginali-ty there always lies an active brain. We expect Eddie to succeed; he just can’t keep from it! Grace Louise Maxwell “The only way to have friends is to be one Grace is one of the best Seniors of the Florence Hi, and she has won many friends by her sweet disposition. She is always ready to laugh at anything funny, but when the “pink slips” appear she becomes very serious.
