 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.

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

ANNA GREGG “She's kind, modest, sincere and true.” Anna is one of the sweetest girls in F. H. S. She has fiery red hair but we have never seen her out of sorts during her two years with us. She always wears a smile and was never heard to speak unkindly of any one. She is not to be classed as a “flapper,” hut a sweet ladylike lassie. LAMAR HOLMAN A painter with a brush of life” As an artist. Lamar ranks supreme among the great ones of K. H. S.. but if you drop your eyes to the bottom of his trousers (they’re bell-bottom) you’ll see that he’s something of a “ladies’ man” also. It is rumored that Lamar has begun on a portrait of Evans Cannon, which will be placed in the “Hall of Fame.” W e wish our painter the best of luck. RUTH HARE “Full of all the grace and virtue That her heart could possibly nurture. Ruth always shows a lovable nature; depression never receives access to her spirit. It is not known to whom she looks with the most friendly gaze, yet we have our suspicions. She is a good scholar and is a favorite among both teachers and pupils. Our best wishes are extended to you, Ruth. May you enjoy life immensely. CLARA HAYNSWORTH “Methinks she looks as if she were in lore” Clara’s favorite pastime is that of capturing hearts. She holds in her hands the hearts of more boys than one. But who can blame the boys? Do we not all love the small bunch of winsomeness which is Clara? She is one of the most popular girls in school and we can but wish her all the happiness of life.
