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.

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

ESTELLE CONN “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Estelle is another classmate who “thinks twice and then talks to herself.” But, she does laugh! We have enjoyed having her with us these four years and know we shall miss her merry giggle when she leaves. The com- mercial department will miss this young typ- ist, too, for she was one of Mrs. Lake’s “right hand” typists. JOHN MILTON WARE “The strongest minds are often those This noisy world hears least.” Third Honor Student; Class Poet Feb. ’24. Johnny is one of the most popular boys in his class; quiet, with a certain dignity, he is liked by everyone in high school. He is stu- dious, too, his name is always seen on the honor roll and he was the third honor student of his class. Johnny is popular among the lad- ies, too. In fact, his friends are unlimited even in Hilton. Best of luck, Johnny boy. WILLIAM NICHOLLS “Willie” “He was the mildest mannered man that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.” Art Editor Beacon Annual. We realize that this quotation is extremely inappropriate but the idea of “Willie” doing such fearful things is so unique. “Bill” as the boys call him, is absolutely the quietest person ever. However, he thinks a lot and works hard. We are sorry to bid good-by to one so cheerful and amiable. Willie’s smile has won him a host of friends among his class- mates. 23
