ELMER JENSEN “Ikey” “A lion among ladies is a fearful thing.” Class Play, ’24. “Ikey” is our most handsome boy, if you don’t believe it why look at his picture again. His winning smile and personality have caused the feminine hearts of the class to skip beats more than once during the four years we have been together, but it took a little lady outside the class to win our Apollo, and although he is with us in body, his heart we are afraid, is in D. C. KATHERINE EARNEST “Kitty” “But so fair She takes the breath of men away Who gaze upon her unaware.” “Kitty” is our golden haired cla s beauty, and she undoubtedly merits the title. It is sel- dom one finds a girl as pretty as Kitty, and as excellent a student, sport and classmate. So far as we know Kitty has not “flopped” yet; when she does, however, here’s hoping our queen catches a king. KATE WEGER “Katie” “As merry as the day is long.” Katie is a happy-go-lucky person. An ex- tremely likeable pal and we’re glad to have had her companionship during our high school days. Kat ie’s only fault is chewing gum, and Katie chews. Good luck, Katie, may your life always be one of smiles. 19

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

THELMA VEKA WINDER “The glass of fashion and the mould of form, the observed of all observers.” Valedictorian; Basketball, ’24; Track, ’23. Allow us to introduce our most stylish girl, Thelma. She is the only member of our class who is graduating in three and a half years. That should speak for her intellectual ability, and as for her good fellowship and personality, any member of the class will tell you that Thelma is “just fine.” We all like her and are proud to have made such a charming addition to our class roll. AMANDA GRAY “Chubbie” “Can one desire too much of a good thing?” Annual Play, ’22-’23; Track Team, ’23; Sec’y Athletic Association, ’23; Sec’y Literary Socie- ty, ’23; Basketball Squad, ’22-’23-’24; Present Student Club, ’22; Class Historian; Vic-e-Pres. Dramatic Club; Pres. Spanish Club; Varsity Squad, ’21-’22-’23-’24; Manager Varsity Squad. Chubbie is one of the most popular girls we know. Not only in school is she well known and admired but throughout the entire community. And one who has seen her on the court or out “treading the boards,” knows her athletic abil- ity is exceptional. It is hard to say good-by to such a popular student and good classmate as “Chubbie.” GEORGE ALLEN WATTS “Shrimp” “Do you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?” Although “Shrimp” isn’t named Ben, we just couldn’t resist this quotation. The rea- son will be apparent to any member of the class, we know! Shrimp has been an invaluable aid to our class home room periods, when the rest of us ran out of pep Allen was right on hand with more. Since we have known him we are in- clined to believe that big things come in small packages. •20
