NORRIS DeALBA “I would I had thy inches.” Norris, tall and fair, but for all his faults we love him still. A shark in Mathematics and — well, here’s luck, Norris. ANNA BELLE EUBANK “The world, dear Anna Belle, is a strange affair.” Class Secretary ’26; Home Room Repre- sentative ’22, ’23; Class Who’s Who ’26. Dignified, pretty, and sweet, best charac- terizes our Anna Belle. She is always serene and composed. And, oh, that frown — but what a million her smile is worth. Anna Belle is a hard worker and has won a high record in her studies, for she is a leader in our class. She and Elizabeth Rowe have been our Siamese twins — shar- ing each other’s secrets and disappoint- ments and er — r — r — rr incidents through- out school life. Good luck to you, Anna Belle, and may you be successful in life as you have been in school. PEARL FRIEDBURG “Pecky” “There’s too much beauty upon this earth For lonely men to bear.” Senior Play ’26; Class Who’s Who ’26. This is Pearl, A nice young girl, Who is always pert and ready to flirt, She works very hard her lessons to make She will succeed in things she’ll undertake. ALMA FOSTER “Acme of Style” Straight from Broadway, yet not stuck up. Alma is smiling, always smiling. One cannot be grouchy with her around. She smiles and smiles and smiles. Keep it up, Alma, we all love a cheerful countenance. Smile your way through life and you will have many friends. Page Twenty -live

MARION COLE “The woman that deliberates is lost.” Here is our Class Politician. She could convince anyone that black was white. And did we breathe a word of her Beacon work or her cheerful nature ? Nuff sed then. She carries her sunny nature wherever she goes, and takes her piles of “exchanges” away to pore over until the small hours in the morn- ing with a twinkle in her eye and smile upon her lips. ALLAN CONN “Sheik” “The gods approve the depth, and not the tumult of the soul.” Hail to the curls of Adonis! No, he doesn’t use a curling iron. Oh! the envy of some girls. Although Allan hasn’t much to say at times, when he does say some- thing, it is worth listening to. He has the qualities of a prosperous worker and he knows how to use his ability, that’s why we know he’ll have a successful career. PHYLLIS CORNELIUS “Silence is golden.” But is she always silent? When she speaks, one, if he listens, learns many truths from her words of wisdom. We all love Pryllis with her ever-ready word of cheer. So we shall turn about and give her one now. Good luck, Phyllis. WILLARD DAVIS “Jakie” “I once admitted — to my shame — That football was a brutal game. Because she hates it.” President of Monogram Club ’24, ’25; Athletic Council ’25; Football ’23, ’24, ’25; Captain Football ’25. “Jake” is a happy-go-lucky sort of a boy that we all like. But we must not lose sight of the fact that “Jake” has led us through one of the most successful seasons of foot- ball that we have ever had. And we heart- ily believe that “Jake” will lead in life as successfully as he has lead our team. We expect much of you, Jake, so don’t fail us. Page Twenty-four

HARRY FOWLER “Happy” “Let every man mind his own business.” Literary Society ’25, ’26. Yes, this exactly suits Harry. He is for- ever minding everybody’s business except his own. But you see, this is the way we get all of our latest news about other peo- ple’s doings. Harry tells us all. And, 0! Can he laugh ? When he lets loose we all follow him. But Harry is a willing worker, too. His name is frequently seen on the Honor Roll. Full of school spirit and fun, makes Harry a popular member of our class. SAM GORDON “Ask me, I know.” President Megaphone Club ’25; Cheer- leader ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25; Vice-President Bi- ology Club ’23; Senior Play ’26; School Hall of Fame ’25; Class Who’s Who ’25. Ra! Ra! Rah! Rah! Cheerleader! Cheer- leader! Cheerleader! Here’s to the pep- piest boy in our school. We do have to laugh at Sam in assembly sometimes when he pleads with us to go out and root for the team, and although he doesn’t put it in actual words, his heart is forever with the boys who are trying to put the pig-skin across the line. We are indeed sorry to lose Sam, but we know, his name will ever inspire the future graduates of our Alma Mater. EMANUEL GREENSPON “Mandy” “But he whose inborn worth his acts com- mend, Of gentle soul, to human race a friend.” There was a man named Mandy, Who was all very fine and dandy. His lessons hard, he daily made And on them received very good grades, This nice young man named Mandy. GRANVILLE GRESHAM “Granny” Football ’23, ’24, ’25; Track Captain ' 25; Track Team ’23, ’24, ’25. Granny, our 1925 track team captain, is a good all round sport. In running events in track he cannot be surpassed. He is liked by everyone for his good natured dis- position. In his scholastic standing Gran- ny can be among the best when he will. ' Page Twenty-six
