FEBRUARY ’24 ARLINA CHURCH “Studies affect manners and character.” Treasurer Spanish Club Sept., ’23 to, Feb., ’24; Class Play. Arlina is one of the brightest girls in out- class and what’s more one of the best little sports ever. It is seldom that this combination is found to such a marked degree in a brilliant student. We will think of you often “Lina”, may you succeed in life as well as you have in school. RICHARD NEWMAN “Cousin Dickie” “He was ever precise in promise keeping.” Class President, ’22; Home Room Represen- tative, ’22; Vice-President French Club, ’23; President Math. Club, ’23; President Senior Class, ’24; Chairman Program Committee; Philolethian Society, ’23; Business Mgr. Bea- con Annual, ’24. Dickie was our class president through the entire long senior year. Dependability is his middle name and he just seems to crave work, we know Dickie will never forget those class meetings when he had such a time “getting the floor.” We are proud of our selection and gladly hail Richard as “Mr. President.” CHARLES DOUGLAS PITT “A man of sovereign parts he is esteemed.” “A proper man as one shall see in a summer.” President of Euj-eka Literary Society, ’23. Doug is always happy and cheerful. It is impossible to have the blues when he is around. Organization periods are not complete unless Douglas walks in ten minutes late. Before we say adieu, Doug, we wish you would tell us the secret of your happiness. 17

ALICE VIRGINIA FORBES “An illustrious and venerable name.” It is rumored that Alice is preparing herself to take an electrical course, probably because it pertains to “Watts.” Now, Alice, don’t get peeved, we’re only kid- ding. You know we wouldn’t make you angry for the world. It is hard for us to say good- by to such a girl as Alice. She has played her part in our class well, and we are sorry to see her go. MARIAN WALTER WEST “To the . Manner born.” Marian is the most dignified member of our class, but that doesn’t mean she’s not full of fun and pep. If you haven’t heard Marian sing you have missed something worth while for she is an accomplished songster. We have enjoyed your music and your companionship for four years and it is wfith regret that we say good-by. HINTON NELSON DAUGHTREY “With entire seriousness.” It is hai’d to express our thoughts as to los- ing Hinton. We can only remember the dear classmate and student he has been and wish him the best of luck. Will anyone ever forget the trouble Hinton had getting teachers to pro- nounce his name correctly? 18
