English Club, '25-'26, History Club, '26-'27, Student Council, '26, Elva Mae is hard to describe, because she is so quiet, which probably accounts for her being a good student. She is a true, lovable friend and all of us will always be glad to remember her. ELVA GERALD COLVIN Manners-the final and perfect flower of noble character. Asst. Mgr. Football, '25, Asst. Mgr. Basketball, '25, Secretary Student Council, '25, Athenian Literary Society, '25, Science Club, '26, English Club, '27, Basketball, '26: Chief Marshal, '26, Oration Medal, '25: The Itomancersf' '27, Triangular Debate, '27, Debaters Medal, '27. With his friendly manner and his con- sideration for other people, he wins the hearts of all with whom he associates. He is a loyal friend, a good student, but when the occasion demands he turns villain and walks away with dramatic honors. Gerald is a true American youth. GERALD MARGARET HAZEL EWELL Her valor and her mind Prove her superior of her kind. Home Economics Fashion Show, '24, Literary Society, '25, History Club, '26-'27. We have found Hazel to be quiet and unassuming during her entire high school career, but there are many of us who would like to have her knowledge and her grades. Her horror is Geometry, but in some way she manages not only to pass but to make good grades. HAZEL JAMES BAXTER DAWSON He is great who is what he is from nature, and who never reminds us of others. Student Council, '24, Mgr. Bruin, '25, Literary So- ciety, '25, Toastmaster Junior-Senior Banquet, '26, Secretary English Club, '26-'27: The Romancersj' '27: Triangular Debate, '27, Editor The Bruin, '26-'27, Senior Class Poet, '26-'27, Hi-Y Club, '25-'26-'27. James has stood out as a literary genius ever since his entrance into high school. A woman-hater is what he professes to be, but, way down in his heart, we believe it isn't quite so bad as that. With his writ- ing ability and other superlatives we ex- pect great things of 1 PERCY

'2T. Margaret is the littlest bit of dignity in the Senior Class-but, what she can do! Margaret is always exempt from exams. Ma'ret is always ready for a good time. She has a jolly nature and her easy-going disposition is the wonder of the class. Her many activities attest her popularity with Seniors and others. MA'RET FRANCIS STRINGER DUFFY, JR. All great men are dying: I don't feel well myself. Although Francis has not been with us during all our high school career, still we find him a valued member of the class. He believes in the old adage, work. So with that as a motto, we all wish for Francis a huge success in whatever he undertakes. DUFF IDA GOLDMAN I'm big, 'tis true, but my knowledge is bigger. Fashion Show, 'ZZ4: Literary Soriety, '24-'25: History Club, '25-'26: Librarian, '25-'2li: Student Count-.l, 'ZZ6. Who is the rather skinny young girl with curly black hair going into the com- mercial room? Why, Ida, of course. She never has the blues and has always made her grades with flying colors. We're glad that Ida is among our high school friends and we wish her happiness in life. JOHN JOSEPH GASKILL Gaiety is the souI's health: sadness its poison. Orchestra, '22-'23-'24-'25-'26-'2T: Band, '22-'22S: Stu- dent Council, '25: Football, '26: Baseball, '2li 2T: Basketball, '2T: Cub Football, '23, Here's one of the best boys in our class. His grades are good, his basketball is out- standing. And what would the orchestra be without him? We don't know what pro- fession he will pursue, but we know that whatever it is, he will be at the top of the ladder. JOHNNIE lTWEXTY-THREE!

JIMMIE LILLIAN JONES Life is merry, life is gay, She takes it all in a joking way. History Club, '264'2T: Literary Society, '24-'25: Fashion Show, '25. If you are looking for a good pal, here she is. Lillian is a good sport. Work never worries her. She is always happy until she's caught chewing gum in chem- istry class. We know wherever she goes she'1l be loved as much as in N. B. H. S. LILLIAN WYGANT GRAY Laugh and be merry, for tomorrow you may die. Wygant is one of our star commercial pupils. He can be jolly as well as studious, for he can always be recognized by the grin on his face. Whatever career he chooses for himself, we know he will make a great success.

Who is the very attractive girl, with the red coat, going into 11-B? Why, don't you know? That's Nellie. She makes good grades on all her studies. In the midst of the deepest subject we hear a laugh and know it's Nellie. We like you, Nellie, and you have made many friends in N. BJH. S. NELLIE tTWENTY-FIVE!
