3 GRIZELDA JONES “I build my castles in the air. They end in smoke — I don’t care.” If a party lacks a kick and thrill, you will know that Grizelda isn’t thei ' e, for she makes the very dancing gods shiver when she goes flying over the ball-room floor. “And why,” says she, “should I bother with lessons, when i can have good-looking clothes, and plenty of men, without any trouble- some books?” MYRTLE LEE JONES “Bobbie” “A woman’s hair is her crowning glory.” Myrtle’s beautiful hair is the envy of every girl in our class, but she walks serenely on and pays not the slightest heed to our wailings. She’s a good student, and you can bet your life she’s a good sport. Myrtle is inclined to be dignified to a certain extent and when she mixes dignity with laughter, that’s when we like her most. GEORGE RUSSELL KATES “Russ” “Good sense and good nature must ever join.” Orchestra ’23, ’24, ’25; Home Room Represent- ative ’21. For a good sport and all around boy, just take a look at Russell, who bears that title. “Russ” is also a saxophone player, good student, and, well — we just have to admit that there isn’t much that Russ can’t do. Everyone admires Russell’s winning ways and personality, and, ’specially does Catherine. Good luck, old sport, may your con- quests always be successful. JOHN EDWARD KULM “Ed” “It is better to be timid than so fresh and rude.” Edward is one of our quiet boys — especially around the girls. However, he’s popular with the boys and always ready for a joke. They tell us his ambition is to he an engineer. That is just like him not to talk all the time, hut study to help prepare himself for his life’s work. May he succeed! Page Twenty-four

re 7 | MYRTLE ELIZABETH FROST “Myrtle” “Hark! do I hear the silvery tinkle of woman’s laughter?” Class Play ' 25. Myrtle is the biggest giggler in our class and well deserves the title. Her laugh provokes our own laughter, but we like to hear her giggle, and like to giggle with her. Myrtle is a mixture of mischiev- ous fun, foolishness, and a light vein of seriousness. We don’t like people who go around with long faces, and neither does Myrtle. So do your duty all through life, old girl, and make ’em laugh! SHIRLEY LILLIAN GRAFF “Lil” “A rosebud set with little willful thorns.” Valedictorian ’25; Class Creed ’25; Class Play ’25; Chairman Program Committee Philolethian Lit- erary Society ’22, ’24; French Play ’23. Lillian is a brunette beauty with sea-green eyes that often work overtime. And the victims they bewitch! But beauty is not her only asset, she is a good student and her name is frequently seen on the honor roll. Although always jolly and ready for a good time, Lil is not a slacker in the more important things of life. Lil is also a good dancer, and fre- quently attends Frat hops at — er, a-hem! Our old Hi is losing a very attractive young lady and we’re almost ready to resort to tears. But, good luck to you, Lil, and remember us always. AUDREY MARIE HYATT “Audrey” “She was ever quiet and reserved, Her voice, too, was soothing.” Home Room Representative ’21; Class Play ’25. Audrey is an ever present help in time of trou- ble and we’ll never forget her willing and true heart. She is as good a sport as one will find in this whole wide world and we’re glad she is one of our class- mates. We think that Audrey knows English from beginning to end, and we go further than thinking, because we know she knows English. Every other subject, too. May success crown all your future efforts, Audrey. DORIS LORENA ISON “Dot” “To know her is to love her.” To look at Doris one would think that she is very quiet and maybe dignified. But look twice be- fore you speak, fair readers. The eyes are the mir- rors of the soul — ah! but the exception to the rule is in our class. Dot! Who knows the time or place when she will suddenly startle you with one of her witty sayings or — ? Nobody! Doris not only has plenty of wit, but has good nature, a personality that matches, and a willing and ready hand to help a fellow. Page Twenty-three

K » ' 2 WINIFRED AINSLEE LEYLAND “Winnie” “I’ve made it a practice to put all my worries down in the bottom of my heart ’n sit on the lid ’n smile.” Class Secretary ’25; Scrap-bag ’25; Orchestra ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; Manager ’24, ’25; Assistant ’23; Secretary Philolethian Literary Society ’24; Joke Editor Beacon ’24; Annual Play ’24; Class Play ’25. Smiles, smiles, all the time. Winnie’s smile is as famous as Chaplin’s feet. And can she play the piano? Just ask anybody. Words are inadequate when it comes to expressing her playing or her per- sonality. The Joke Editor for the Beacon has cer- tainly put the spice of life into it and we certainly are going to miss our wittiest classmate and her funny remarks. RUSSELL BURT LIVERMAN “Russ” “He was true to his word, his work, and his friends.” Russell is going to be another Paderewski! Just think, and it isn’t hard to realize if you’ve heard him bang a piano. Besides playing a piano, he is a good student, an excellent public speaker, and in general, most everything. A friend indeed, that’s Russ. His quiet, manly ways have won our hearts and we are going to miss you, Russell. Au revoir. WALLACE STROCK MacNICHOLL “Strocko” “On the battlefield of life May you more than victor be.” Student Council ’21, ’24; Class President ’23; Vice-president Spanish Club ’24; Vice-president Philolethian Literary Society ’24; Class Will ’25. Ladies! May we present our most handsome boy? Strock has the good-looks and many a fem- inine glance has he scorned and ignored, all because be belongs to us, and not to the “Sheik” class. He can hold his own on any battlefield, be it love or life. Ever ready to lend a helping hand, true as steel, and an excellent student. That’s Strock! LOIS ADELL MAUPIN “Light of heart, light of step, Quick of wit, full of pep.” If you will imagine an old fashioned belle Of the days that used to be, , With a certain charm, and a lovely smile, And a bashful dignity; And add to her some modern “pep” With lots of vigor too; This scintillating mixture brings Our Lois straight to you.
