THE BEACON 11 CHARLES MILLHISER “Long Boy” “Is this that haughty, gallant, gay Lothario ?” Annual Play ’19, ’20. Senior Presentation ’22. Debate ’22. Now we come to the Romeo of the class. Charles can surely talk and gee! How many are the times that some member of the fair sex has led him a jolly chase. But alas! As yet, he hasn’t found an ideal Juliet. You bet, though, Charles knows how to get “A’s” on Chemistry. RUTH CARY MEANLEY “Rufus” “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.’ Treasurer Commercial Department ’ 21 . As a general rule, Ruth is shy and modest , but just wait until the teach- ers give too long assignments then — But, keep it up, Ruth, we like your spirit.

10 THE BEACON LOUISE BECK MARX “Boimingham” “All her faults are such that one loves her still the better for them.” Debater’s Medal ’20. Triangular Debate ’21. Secretary Philolethian Literary So- ciety ’21. Treasurer French Club ’21, ’22. Editor-in-chief Beacon Annual ’22. Salutatorian ’22. Class Prophet ’22. Although she figures largely in all school activities, it is her own person- ality that has gained such popularity for Louise. The best thing one can say is that her success has not ended in conceit Louise’s hardest task in her high school career has been to make her deportment marks equal her high scholarship. MARGUERITE KATHERINE LONG “Margie” “Her heart is as true as steel.” Treasurer Senior Class ’21. Class Poet ’22. There are few girls so absolutely dependable as Marguerite. She has proven this to us by her efficient woi’k as Class Treasurer. We all like girls like you, Marguerite.

12 THE BEACON CLARENCE FRANKLIN NORSWORTHY “Bunny” “A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.” We might call Clarence our “ole Reliable.” In our tempestuous class meetings, our heated arguments, and our great variety of opinions, he stands by and supports the right side. Clarence keeps his counsel to himself and for that we honor him. FRANK LEONARD PAPE “Joe” “A proper man as ever trod.” Class Creed ’22. Here we have the perfect gentle- man, manly and courteous. We be- lived that the whole dignity of the Senior Class rested upon his willing shoulders and we considered Frank quite reserved and dignified until Esther’s Xmas Party, but we know that our conservative gentleman likes a good time, too.
