Q. IRQ., 1. Q o' fp li' - l I i a t PAUL HECK 4' Beech Don't rush, girls! Line forms on the right. The girls have to get in line to talk to Paul. He is that tall, hand- some blcnd with the expressive blue eyes, as the girls say. He is very extravagant with his compliments to the fair sex, calling them bright eyes, beautiful, and darling. Did you hear the one about-. Telling the latest joke is one of his remarkable abilities. Though most of his time is spent with the damsels, he uses his spare time to participate in many of the activities.

Laureate Society. CHARLES HENRY Smokey joe Everything is peaceful and quiet. Suddenly in the dis- tance is heard a low, scarcely audible rumbling. It grad- ually grows louder and louder, until it is deafening. The noise is unbearable. A siren-like screech pierces the air. Silence. Vi as it a cyclone? No. It was only Smokey joe Henry, arriving at school in his Buick. He says it's better to ride to school than to walk, but we doubt it. Besides driving to school, Charles also drives on the golf green with a marked degree of success. Golf Team. 3, 4, Geometry Club, 2, Orchestra, 2. ELIZABETH HERSCHEL ii Betty 1 1 Small, dark, and cute is a fitting description for this little senior. To her close friends she is known as the pos- sessor of unusual wit. This trait combined with her good- heartedness makes her very popular with her friends. She is always willing to help anyone in need and is the possessor of dependability and efficiency. Betty and her inseparable Flossie have been seen around the halls of M. H. S. ever since their acquaintance began. Play Committee, 3, 4, Dramatic Club, 3. ELBRIDGE E. HOFF ll YY Elbridge could be called an orator, debater, mountain- eer, Irish cop, or any other name one could think up, if one judged by his personality, his activities, and his play parts. But we'll just call him Elbridge who loves to argue. It doesn t matter to him with whom he argues, just let him go to it. He is a man of many talents. Everyone knows and likes him for his pleasant ways and willingness to be of assistance at any time.

3 ' JOHN L. HANKINS uhlakeu ' Here's our quiet and dignified president. Jake has piloted our class skilfully through its last year. Withhim and his determined views, nothing went wrong. His school career followed that of a regular statesman. In his sopho- more year he was treasurer, in his junior year, vice-presi- dent, in his senior year he attained the greatest office of all -our president! Not only that, he was voted as our most popular boy. There, that's just a small idea of Jake and his abilities.

MARGUERITE HAYES Margie , This charming lass of the senior class of '35 has a very pleasing personality. She's sweet and gentle in her manner, and no matter with whom she seems to come in contact, she makes friends. She has a winning smile, which lights up her whole face when she hears something funny, and that's quite often. Her voice is very smooth and gentle, and can she sing? She's always gay, happy, and humming a tune. RECORD Staff, 43 Glee Club, 2, 3, 4, Operetta, 2, 35 Aerial Staff, 3, 4 ANNA M. HAYS Anna is one of the most reserved girls in our class. Small, quiet, and almost timid, she passes from class to class along with the rest of us. She never calls attention to herself, and one often wonders just what is under that dignified exterior which never is pierced. Her talents on the piano and guitar cannot be compared because none in our class has heard her play. A true little church mouse she is, as she faithfully does her part in our daily work. She will be the first bride of the class, for she is to marry soon after school closes. Interclass Volleyball, 4, French Club, 4. CONRAD HEADLEY uGeeZyru Not the big man from the South, but the big man from the West. Believe it or not, Geezy came from a ranch. Tall, blond, and handsome! Girls, what more could you ask for? And can that boy ride a motorcycle! Can a fish swim? He almost killed that poor machine, driving from his house-or from school-to the bakery on Center Street. Football, Varsity, 4, Monitor, 4.

EDWARD HOLMES 41Mexvv Cheer up, Eddie. Napoleon was little, too. Great things come in little packages, anyhow. In spite of his lack of height, Ed was by no means small on the basketball court. He reminds us all of the Cheerful Cherub. He just loves to tease people, although he isn't obnoxious with it. If, on a rainy day or a blue Monday, you are feeling excessively blue, just trot yourself around to Eddie Holmes, and you'll soon find yourself laughing and joking in spite of yourself.

As he unwinds himself from his seat, there's some doubt as to the outcome. His throaty rumble is seldom heard in the classroom, but when it is, it's to the delight and astonish- ment of his teachers. He has a certain supercilious air that, combined with that patrician nose and absolutely classic profile, is sure to get'em. Glee Club, 45 Hi-Y, 35 Vice-President, 45 Geometry Club, 2. JANE S. HUGHES Feminine sweetness! That's Jane. If you don't believe us, ask Joe. Jane has a way of speaking that no one else could acquire if they tried. She talks in a slow sort of drawling hum, but don't let it fool you. She has plenty of the old pep and personality tucked away in there. As for talking5 well, she's saving her voice for future years when she'll need it to argue with joe.

L. BOOTH HUMPHREYS, 3rd Boo-Boo D-d-d-d-do-do-do-do we like Booth or d-d-d-do-do-do-do we like Booth! Whenever he recites in class, it takes him five minutes to get primed up, and then you can't stop him. To the great joy of all the pupils, he wastes away a lot of class time and says nothing. Anyway, he's a great fellow and always good for a laugh. He's a good basketball player and participates in all the games he can. This is not his only participation, however. Oh me, he also participates in the game of love. He has a nervous right eye. It's always winking.
