NELL SCARBOROUGH MEDLEY “Nell” “Let us have music, my feet stand not still.” Out on the smooth shining ballroom floor swings Nell! Never a step too intricate, never a whirl too swift for our best dancer. Nell is right there! She’s a good sport, too, and a jolly companion. She can take a joke as well as play one on somebody else — and all the time she laug-hs! Nell isn’t the frowning kind, and we’re awfully sure that is what makes her so popular with both sexes. Some day we’ll hear of her as Irene Castle number two. AUDREY WESTWOOD MIDGETTE “Andrew” “Would I had thy inches.” Treasurer Girl Reserves ’22. Audrey is one of our sports. She is one of the best in the class; always ready for anything that crops up and always takes an active part in all our class functions. She also has a jovial disposition that delights us all, and we’re going to miss her when she leaves the Old High. May success follow you through life, Audrey, we’re sorry to lose you. MIRIAM LOUISE MOONEY “Louise” “Not too fair, nor yet too good, For human nature’s daily food, But yet a woman still.” President Home Economics Club ’23, ’24; Treas- urer Biology Club ’22. Rap! Rap! Rap! “Will you all be quiet a minute? I’ve got something to tell you” — We see a vision of Louise’s “August” presence in front of the H. E. Club, rapping for order, as she has done for the past two semesters. Louise is a good natured, jolly, schoolmate, and when anything is to be done, Louise can and usually does do it. Good luck! and may you never get too warm when August comes around. FLORENCE ADELBERT MOSS “Florence” “Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast.” Senior Class Plays ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25; Annual Play ’22; Secretary French Club ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25. Music is a wonderful thing. The same may be said about Florence. With her nimble fingers on the piano keyboard and her golden voice sending forth enchanting melodies at the same time, many audiences have been held spellbound. The rush that Florence gets at the dances is enough proof that she is really graceful on the ballroom floor. For all of that, the frequent appearance of her name on the honor roll speaks for itself. With such a magnetic personality and brilliant mind, a claim to fame some day is not improbable. Paye Twenty-six

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. Pape Twenty-five

cm CATHERINE LOUISE MUGLER “Kitty” “Be silent, or let thy words he worth more than silence.” Home Room Representative ’23, ’24; Class Treasurer ’23, ’24, ’25; Class Play ’25; Class Pro- phet ’25. Catherine is our orator — born and bred, and doesn’t mind expressing her opinions. Seldom, if ever, does Kitty agree with anyone, but that’s the spirit, old top! Stand up for your rights. An ex- ceedingly good treasurer, too, as you will notice, ’cause it takes Kitty to get our dimes. Grudgingly we “fork over,” but then we smile and say, “Atta boy, Kitty — make ’em be generous.” ELLIOTT DALLAS NUNNALLY “Cherry” “Do ’oo love me, Cherry?” Volley Ball Manager ’21, ’22, ’24; Assistant of Physical Education Director ’24. Cherry is the “guy” who helps in the Physical Ed Classes. We had no idea he was so efficient until the classes gave an exhibition in assembly. Cherry can take a joke well and he certainly be- lieves in getting them on other people. Ask him why we put the above quotation there. VIRGINIA PARKER “Let the world slide, let the world go; A fig for care, and a fig for woe.” Would anything make Virginia hurry? Could any teacher make her foreswear her chewing gum ? Could any body make her break her word ? Could any event make her get honest-to-g - oodness angry? — You’ll have to prove it to us. ANN LILLIAN PECK “Lill” “How gentle, how saucy, How altogether bossy.” Faith, hope, and charity, Lill possesses all of these. What she gets she earns. “Trust-ler” is not one of the three great things, but is one name which Lillian never fails to blush at when it is mentioned. One who hasn’t shared the friendship of Lill has missed something swell. But, Lill never give up your “Trust-ler” and always remember your class- mates are rushing you on to a definite goal — success. Page Twenty-seven
