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!

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

Joe is one of the most athletic boys in N. B. H. S. His good disposition and skill in athletics have made him popular with his classmates. We hope he will have as many friends and be as successful always as he has been in high school. PETE LOUISE ADELAIDE JACKSON Fair maiden, when I look at thee, I wish I could be young and free, But both at once. oh! Who could be! Fashion Show, ':Z4: Room Pres. '2-1: Vice-Pres.

Senior Class, '2li: Latin Club, '26: English Club, '27: Ed.tor of Bruin, '27g The Romancersf' '27, In Louise we find a rare mixture of qual- ities: Most outstanding are her generos- ity, and friendliness. She has a host of friends everywhere she goes. Her cheer- ful disposition is an asset to our class. Louise hopes to be a business woman, but we fear the world of business will never know her. WEEDIE RICHARD EDWARD GODFROY If argument will get you anywhere, Dick ought to be there. Pres. Senior Class, '2T: Sec. Hi-Y, '27: Chief Bus. Mgr.

Assn., '25-'26-'2T: Marshal, '26: Band, '23: Orchestra, '24-'25-'26-'2T: Stud't Council, '26. Dick may some day hold Congress in sway with his power of debating. On the football field he is a little less than a demon, and on the basketball court he is an opponent to be carefully guarded. He is a student of no mean ability and many are the friends that wish him luck. DICK GWENDOLYN JONES She is possessed of that inexhaustihle good nature which is the choicest gift of heaven. Dramatic Society, 'ZZ-I-'25: English Club, '25-'26-'27. Pint is small, small, indeed. But that little good-natured body holds the heart of a true friend. In the race of life, she will not be far behind the leader, if she is not herself the leader. PINT
