BESSIE EASTERLING A daughter of the gods, divinely tall. And most divinely fair.” Do we know her? Why, everybody does. For what fame Has she not won? She is a star basket-ball player and there is no sport in which she does not indulge. And her singing? We sometimes wonder if the nightingale in II Penseroso” had not come to life in the form of Bessie. We think Bessie has a chronic case of giggles, for no matter when you look for her you can distinguish her by the well-known cackle. She has won a place in every schoolmate’s heart, and will he remembered by all forever. EDWIN FULTON As large as life and ticice as natural.” Ed’s motto is: Eat. drink, and be marry, for to-morrow we may die. Me is a very close friend of Lord Chesterfield and has an acquaintance with Edgeworth. Ed’s only trouble is his excess of brains, which he doesn’t use. This talented Southpaw is expected to be heard from in later life as a member of one of America’s greatest Art Societies. Some of his masterpieces adorn the pages of this Florentine. Ed’s first (and we hope not last) engagement was with his beloved Spanish teacher, our little Miss Campbell. SARESSELLERBE “Best kind of a sport, and a pal, true blue.” Saress is one of the most popular and attractive girls in school. She takes part in all activities. Whenever any one is needed, get Saress. for she invariably and willingly helps to put things over. Her popularity is attested by her various honors. Saress has many friends and is ever making new ones. BENNIE GAUSE Behind those eyes there lies much mischief.” Mere’s a fellow that possesses the proverbial “million-dollar smile, and if you don’t believe it, girls, then ask him yourself. Bennie is a fellow that, although he never pushes himself forward, is always ready to do the best he can. We all like Bennie, and hope that the “cruel world” will treat him right. m Ball 5hr Jflorntliiu Q

 (Iljr JFUuTuttnr EVELYN DORSEY Haste thee, Nymph, and briny with thee. Jest and youthful Jollity Brimming over with life, laughter and jollity—that’s Evelyn. We claim her not only as an indispensable portion of our Class, but also as one of our accomplished” members. She can dance and she can sing, and she can play ’most anything. One with such a happy disposition and promising abilities is certain to find the ‘‘end of the rainbow” before the great sun of her career shall set. BENJAMIN DOWLING “There is laid up for me a Florence High diploma.” For years Ben was a shy. silent boy, but at last he found” himself and now he numbers his friends among the hundreds. Ben’s greatest virtue is his courtesy, and truly, when speaking of courtesy, none but himself can be his parallel. LOUISE DICKSON A happy disposition, like dollars, zvill oftentimes pay your way ' Here is one of the most lovable girls among the Seniors of ’25. She is always cheerful, amiable, and has.an air about her, so sincere when you delve deep enough into it, you can’t help but like. She has personality, which is a much desired asset. It is that intangible charm, or the lack of it, which makes people hate us or love us. She is very capable of being loved and of loving, about live feet six inches tall and rather stout— a “jolly good size for a jolly good girl. ROBERT FRASER “Yet hare I not seen so likely an ambassador of love. Seldom does an institution have the great good fortune of training such a conscientious worker as Robert. Never is he called on to help, that he does not only his share, but usually some other’s also. Several have called to our attention the fact that Robert has been practicing riding horseback, and the only explanation that we can discover is that at the tournament last year, Grace Williamson was a Queen. How’s this. Robert?

i§. iwLLk L« Ainie hails from Bannockburn, whose school she left three years ago to join us. It was a lucky day for F. H. S., for Ainie has shown her worth and has readily acquired a Hock of admirers, both masculine and feminine. She is as pretty as a picture, dark-haired and blue-eyed, with an adorable little mouth. Ainie belongs to the Anti-Smoking League and has started an earnest effort to stamp out the evil cigarette in school. Angelica has elected Winthrop as her next place of learning, and she will carry with her the best wishes of her numerous friends. JESSIE MAE FINKLEA “The only ivay to hare a friend is to be one.” In this fair maid, indeed, do we find treasured up, the characteristics which make us all realize that “To know her is to love her. She is a good student. However, she spends not all her days in dreary plodding, for she enjoys a good time, and where there is fun there you may find Jessie Mae also. We are assured that a bright future lies before her. KENNETH GRIMSLEY “Youth is a blunder Although Kenneth may not have been l orn “good, he is one of the few who have made good. His motto is to “help the other fellow, and he believes in the theory that “a stitch in time may save a ripping time. Kenneth’s ambition is to be a lawyer, and if he continues in the manner in which he has begun, we have no doubt but that he will succeed. EUNICE FLOYD “She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or despise.” If Eunice’s name were not on the roll, few would know she was here. Very quiet, and studious, Eunice is reaching for education in the highest sense. But if one wants real entertainment, watch her eyes shine and sparkle at subtle sarcasm and clever remarks. 28 m
