Speaking of People Always standing behind the student body is K. J. Clark, the perfect exponent of the Murphy spirit. Through his co-operation, high ideals, and fine qualities of leadership, together with his wor- thy and highly praised advice, Murphy has become recognized as one of the finest schools in the state of Alabama. Mi Eanc . whose character can never be questioned by anyone, is a true sport of the first sort. This is shown in her famous say- ing: “When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost but how you played the game.” Mi Hazel Driver has been in Mobile for fifteen years. During this time she taught at Barton, and at present is head of our Science Department. She is a native of Chicago, and a graduate of Wisconsin University. She be- gan teaching at Ashland, Wiscon- sin and taught five years in Chicago. Mr . Fell, our valuable registrar, goes about her daily duties with a winning smile. Her most dif- ficult task is checking seniors and seeing that they have the required number of credits for graduation. She arranges pupils’ schedules and has charge of clubs. Miss Effie Lou Brown is Mr. Clark’s capable private secretary. She is well known and well liked by both students and teachers at Murphy. Many times she has helped some unfortunate student in his hour of need. She is al- ways good natured and smiling. Ever a friend of the students is Willie Mae Gaston, records clerk. Miss Gaston is one of the best liked persons in school; she always has time to aid the students with their difficulties. A football fan, she attends every game and is for Murphy first, last, and all times. MOJ

As president of the Student Body and a member of the Na- tional Honor Society, Hylman Nel- on is the embodiment of Murphy High’s ideals. His senior year climaxes three preceding years of invaluable school service. Hylman was General Science club presi- dent his freshman year and class secretary his sophomore year. Recognized as one of the out- j standing students of the campus John has had many distinguished honors. He has served as Senior ( lass President, and was elected t the National Honor Society dur- i lg his junior year. It is John Dc Omella» and others like him that make Murphy the school it is t day. Supervising one of Murphy’s largest organizations is Mi » Hat- tie Gresham, who capably manages our cafeteria. At the sound of the lunch bells, the students make a dash to eat, little realizing that it is through the efforts of the entire cafeteria staff that such smooth perfection is achieved. Mr . McIntyre, a very able and capable assistant to Miss Gresham in our cafeteria, has been con- nected with our school system for the past four years, and during this time she has done her duty so well that no one could take her place and fill it as she has. Mi»» Elizabeth Moffat, educated in such exclusive places as Colum- bia, Chicago, and Peabody Univer- sities, has traveled abroad, once accompanied by her friends, the well-known Edith A. Lathrop and Elizabeth Patterson. She was the first Murphy librarian. Our assistant librarian, Mr». Devclbi»», has charge of the pleasure reading room. She helps us to choose good books, and at the same time, worthwhile ones, thus, enabling us to become better citizens. Mrs. Develbiss also is supervisor of study halls. Mil
