MILDRED KATHERINE DAYLOR “Milly” “Chatter, chatter, all day long.” Basketball ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25; Captain ’23, ’24; Cheer leader ’24. If this isn’t Mildred there’s something wrong. We can’t imagine Mildred without her talkativeness and many a dull moment is brightened by listening to Mildred chew the rag or her chewing gum. Mil- dred is also the most athletic girl in our class. But here’s a girl who sticks by her friends. My gosh! how she can play basketball. Here’s hoping you’ll play the game of life as good, old classmate. GENEVIEVE ALICE BAYTO “Gen” “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” Basketball ’23, ’24. Genevieve is quiet and dignified, never boister- ous or rowdy, like the most of us. She has a charm- ing personality, all her own and copies after no man. We like “Gen” bec ause she is so dependable, and we hate to lose her. We’ll miss her smiling disposition, but we wish her the best of luck all through life. Adios! JOSEPH HEYWOOD BELL, Jr. “Ding” “When he says do it, ’tis done.” Editor-in-chief Beacon ’24; make-up Editor Bea- con ’24; Vice-president Class ’23, ’24; President Dramatic Club ’23, ’24; President Hi-Y Club ’24; President Philolethian Literary Society ’24; Annual Play ' 21, ’24; Semi-annual Play ’24; Hall of Fame ’24; Student Council ’23; Home Room Representative ’22; Class Play ’25; Class Historian ’25. Here’s our man of executive ability. All during his four years he has held some responsible position and acquitted himself well. From looking at his record you will find that he is versatile. That shows what the ladies think of him. For further particu- lars ask our most versatile girl. LENA SYLVIA BLOOM “Lena” “Still water runs deep.” Class Play ’25. Lena is one of the quiet members of our class. Just think what our class would be if someone were not quiet enough to balance the noisy ones. We didn’t know until recently that she could giggle. And besides, Lena is a first rate typist and a good student. Page Nineteen

SAMUEL BENJAMIN BLOOM “Professor” “Man delights me not, no, nor women either” Ah! here’s the “Professor” with his Harold Lloyd “specs” tipped on his nose. Very scholarly looking indeed. What Sammy doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing, and we all bow down to hear the words of the wise. Sometimes, Professor’s comical expression provokes a grin from us but we hurriedly erase the guilty look from our faces. Go to it, Pro- fessor! We know that once you make up your mind to succeed, you’re going to do it, and if you don’t win, it won’t be from the lack of effort on your part. GEORGIA MAIE BRITT “Tillie the Toiler” “She’s witty to talk with, Pretty to walk with, And pleasant too, to think on.” Recitation Medal ’23; Secretary Spanish Club ’23; Critic Philolethian Literary Society ’23; Cheer Leader ’24, ’25; Secretary Student Council ’24, ’25; Secretary Philolethian Literary Society ’24, ’25; Annual Play ’23; Beacon Reporter ’24, ’25; Class Play ' 25. Here’s the little girl who is the most versatile in our class. Georgia is full of mischief and fun, but the best pal a gal could ever have, even a fel- low, eh Georgia? Well, little cheer-leader, song- bird, heart-breaker, oh! everything, your classmates wait to hear of your future success in the business world, and also in the world of Hearts. MARY EL IZABETH CHAPPELL “Ding” “Small and light. But — oh, so bright!” Hall of Fame ’24, ’25; Class Play ’25. Take a look at our Mary — our cutest girl. Don’t you envy her? I’ll say so. Mary possesses a per- sonality that few of us ever hope to have. Full of fun, but always retaining a quaint dignity that is positively charming. Prices are going up now-a- days, but not for Mary. Her “Price” is always the same. JOHN CHRISTIE “John” “Cares may come, sorrows run free But my heart is ever filled with glee.” Have you ever heard John play his cornet? Well that’s our John. We expect to find him some day playing in Paul Whiteman’s Band. But oh John! don’t go to sleep on the job. We’re quite used to it now, but don’t disappoint us in later years. We feel confident that you’re going to give us a surprise as you always do, and then we’ll sit up and take notice. Good luck, old boy — you’re always taking things brightly and easily, that’s why. we like you. l J aye Twenty
