8 THE BE ACON HUGH BROWN 66ChiC99 'tHe was a man, take him all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. President Student Council, '22, '23. Vice-President Philolethian Literary Society, '22, '23. Football, '21, '22, Chic is a real athlete and one of the best the Old High has ever had. At halfback he is famous for his great end runs and for his unequaled power on the defense. Not only in athletics is he popular for he is one of the best liked fellows in school. As the Presi- dent of the Student Council he has proved a capable leader of his fellow students, Chic makes his personality felt wherever he goes. Everyone likes him and is proud to know him. H1-re's wishing' him success. May he make many touchdowns in the gzune of Life! JOSEPHINE W. BRIDGMAN I spread my books, my pencil try. Vice-President Latin Club, '21, Second Honor Student. Studying is Josephine's strong de- partment. She is always prepared to recite no matter what be the length of the lesson. Some say she's digni- fied, but there they are wrong, for she's always ready to lend a hand, to translate some hard lines or explain this and that. We admire her statli- ness of grace for it bespeaks of know- ledge and power that too few possess.

THE BE ACON 7 IR A FRAN K LIN BOW LES Monk Man delights me not, no, nor woman either. Class Plays. Monk is not a Math. shark as some would fain believe, but he's a good scout anyway, and we don't see how we'll get along without him. He likes to make us think that he is a confirm- ed pessimist but we're mighty hard to convince. Whether we get A's or E's, the world will still move on, and we know that Monk will be right there with us, lending a helping hand and always with his care-free grin. MA RY CATHERINE BLANTON Cataline Her voice was ever soft, An excellent thing in woman. Class Plays. Give Catherine a Caesar and she's perfectly happy. But never start an argument about the value of Latin to the human race or she will just nat- urally make you believe that it is in- despensable to the students, and that it is a priviledge to study it. Just the same Catherine is a good student and she never wastes a moment in foolish- ness. If you do not believe us, look at her report card. Those marks would give us heart failure if by chance they ever appeared upon our cards.

THE BEACON 9 MARTHA R. CHAPIN A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial, coaxing way she had. Assistant Secretary Eureka Liter- ary Society, '22, '23, Class Secretary, '20. Treasurer French Club, '21, '22. President Biology Club, '22, '23, Class Plays. Martha is the little sunshine of our class. No matter what be the trouble she always has a smile which drives away our frowns in a jiffy. Maybe that smile is what makes her so pop- ular. We don't know for sure, for Martha has many admirers in the school. Indeed, judging from her fol- lowing in the stronger sex, you might call it The Siege of Seven Suitors. We're sure of one thing, though, we all like Martha and we are mighty sorry to lose her. MARGARET CHANDLER A woman's hair is her crowning , ar glory. Did someone ask a question? No. That was only Margaret talking. She can ask more questions in one period than we can think of in a week. Whether she expects them all to be answered we don't know, but it does not seem to bother her. We all love Margaret because she is always ready for fun and a good time. She is the best sport we know. Be there lessons or foolishness, she is right in the midst of it. Margaret don't like pub- lic speaking, but that doesn't prove that she can't talk. Everyone loves her curly hair and if such were possible We're afraid someone would steal it.
