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

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

 MARGARET GANDY “Then she will talk! Ye gods! hoiv she will talk. “Cottontop,” or “Blondy,” is gay, vivacious and full o' fun. She has a wonderful disposition, can recite, dance and sing, though her most enjoyable pastime is writing weekly themes and naming the hero “Ralph.” Margaret has another charming asset. She can always be depended upon. We wonder why the fifty-ninth hook in the Bible is her favorite? ROBERT HODGES “His ready wit, his cheery smile (Tito in stature he is small) Make him welcome all the while— This loyal friend of all. Yes, here is the Krcisler of our Class. W ith his great skill and ambition, he is certain to make a name for himself among the violinists of the near future. Even though a man of genius, he is also a real, fun-loving. all-round student of I '. H. S. With his gentlemanly manners and jolly nature, he makes clear his path of success as he goes. So. we give Robert into the hands of the future with perfect confidence that he will climb to great heights. VIRGINIA GILES She is just the quiet kind zchose nature never varies” “Jinks” is very quiet, but never too quiet to join in mischievous tricks and pranks. She is good-natured, ever ready to help the other fellow and always on hand where help is needed. She can “art to perfection, and we predict a great future for her. She can be seen on Sunday afternoons in a Buick Six. Her greatest ambition is to be able to draw Mr. Briggs’ foot on one piece of paper. EDWARD HAMILTON “Zealous, yet modest! Edward is the type of boy all fair maidens adore. He is tall, manly and handsome, but. alas, their dreams are shattered! He is extremely bashful and in the presence of ladies very nervous. He talks little and thinks more, and is very studious. In music he is very talented, and some day it will be no surprise to hear he is playing the saxophone in Paul Whiteman’s Orchestra, or singing in the Metropolitan Opera.
