MARGARET BRYANT “Ann” “The eternal feminine draws us on.” Class Play, ’24. It’s hard to tell what makes Margaret so popular, except that she’s just cute. The en- tire school is unanimous in its good opinion of our leading lady. An actress of no mean abil- ity is Ann, a good student, classmate and sport, a typical “good fellow.” Mary evident- ly finds her so, for they are the two insepara- bles of our class. CHARLES EARL TALLEY “0 Heavens! were a man but constant he were a jewel.” Vice-President Student Council, ’23; Mem- ber Athletic Council, ’23; Football, ’22-’23; Track, ’22-’23; Captain Track, ’22; Manager Track, ’22; Manager Football, ’23; Manager Basketball, ’23; Home Room President, ’23; Class Play (June) ’23. There’s one in every class — ours is Talley — the sheik. He breaks feminine hearts with the same relentless force with which he “hits the line” in a game. We must forgive him, though, for he detests his reputation and good looks thoroughly, and we have heard that he is con- stant to one at least. MICHEAL BYRNES “Mike” “A man of sovereign parts he is esteemed.” Football, ’22-’23; Baseball, ’22-’23; Basket- ball, ’22-’23. Allow us to introduce one of the best known and most efficient football players known in high school circles. Besides being one of the best football men the school has ever produced “Mike” has proved himself an exceptional scholar. “A’s” flourished on his report as of- ten as “E’s” blossomed f orth on that of the class dumbell. Good luck “Mike.” 21

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

LUCY JAMES WHITE “May she be perpetual.” When someone must do something and do it well, in a hurry, then call on Lucy. She’ll do it gladly with a smile and when she is through it will be done in just the right manner. For Lucy is the sort of a girl who though quiet, likes to help and can. We are glad to call her “classmate.” STANLEY PILAND “Funny” “Audacity, more audacity, and always audacity.” Vice-President Senior Class; Editor-in-Chief Beacon, ’23; Editor-in-Chief Beacon Annual, ’24; Beacon Delegate V. I. P. C., ’23; Vice- President Class, ’21; President Class, ’22; Or- chestra, ’22-’23; Cheer Leader, ’23. If you know Funny you’ll never forget him. If you have heard the melodies he conjures up with his wailing saxaphone you will pat your foot to the tune of their recollections. We like Funny, we have worked with him, cheered with him, laughed with him, and we are proud to call him our “Funny.” VICTOR BRUNING MARVEL “Vic” “No great genius has existed without madness.” President Student Council, ’23; Vice-Presi- dent Athletic Association, 23; Class Prophet, ’24; Vice-President Philolethian Literary So- ciety, ’20; President Hi-Y Club, ’21-’22-’23; Class Play, ’22-’23-’24; Annual Play, ’22-’23; Associate Editor Annual, ’24. It’s hard to say just what we think of “Vic,” for he’s such an attractive and indescribable fellow words are inadquate. His witty remarks and famous grin have made him one of the most popular boys in school. Dancing is his specialty. With his delightful personality and bouyant spirit we are sure this class-mate will make as great a success of his life as he has his school days.
