THE BEACON 17 ROISERT lVIll,'l'0N MASSENISURG Eddie Milt A man's a man for a' that. Advertising' lVIanag'er Annual, '23 Home Room Representative,'21,' 22. Home Room President, '20, lCddie or Milt as we affection- ately call him, is the best-all-round fellow in the class. His stock of jokes and stories is infinite and he keeps us all chuckling.: most of the time. He's a fine sport and companion and there is none more obliging' or willing' to help than Eddie.f' As a student he is hard to beat for he has brains and certainly knows how to use them. We only wish that some of those A's would come our way occasionlly. We know that when Milt gets behind a thing' it's got to move, so we have no doubts of his success in the world. HELEN GRETNA MALLICOTTE An open-hearted maiden, true and pure. Gretna is a very retiring yet essen- tial member of our old class. She can do just as much mischief as the rest of us but she doesn't make near so much noise. In fact you'd scarce- ly suspect she was about if it was not for her funny remarks and her divine smile. After careful observation we must remark that her smiles are not bestowed upon her classmates alone. But that's alright, Gretna, we'll be sorry to lose you.

And can she nlay the piano 7 Say! you ought to hear her sometime. When she runs her nim- we 'ust ble fingers over the keys J .. naturally lose our hearts in the beauty of the music. We shall miss her in Old Room I. FREEDA HARRIETT LEV Y There lies a deal of deviltry beneath this mild exterior. Freeda looks very mild, innocent and quiet, but just get her started once and change your mind. She is ever ready for a good time and when it comes to kicking up the sand you'1l find Freeda not far off. Her pet hobby is throwing slang, especially in Eng- lish classg but when there's Work to be done she is another girl altogether, in fact she's the perfection of effi- ciencyf'

18 THE BEACON MARY ALLENE MILLER Brevity is the Soul of Wit. .Allene is not given much to making lengthy remarks about those things that take place around her but every- thing she says has a meaning and is generally full of wit It may be that her few inches has something to do with it hut we are sure that what she lacks in height is made up for by her excellent sense of humor and good fellowship. MAVIS ESTELLA MAUPIN A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Mavis meets all her work and play with a smile that is seldom missing from her happy face. Her philosophy is to worry about nothing, take things as they come, and let others worry if they want to. We all have a place for her in our hearts that will seem very bare when she leaves.
