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.

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

MARTHA GRESHAM “Poney” “A rose is sweeter in the bud than in full bloom.” Assistant Circulation Manager Beacon 1924, Circulation Manager Beacon 1925-26, Home Room Representative 1922. Have you heard the latest? Sh ! it’s a secret. But most of us know it just the same. He’s up in Oh-h-h-h we forgot, we can’t tell. Say, do you know Martha has that “school girl complexion”? A skin you love to touch. Her smiles have won for her many friends who are sorry to see her go. JOE HARVELL “Joe” “Life let us cherish, while yet the taper glows, And the fresh flow’re ' t pluck ere it close.” Joke Editor, Beacon Annual, Beacon Staff 1926; Manager Volley Ball 1924-25. No, that noise is only Joe laughing. Joe’s stock of jokes never runs out and he keeps us in continual laughter. Joe hasn’t told us his ambition yet, but something tells us he is going to be a joke editor of some famous joke book. LINWOOD HOLLOWAY “Lin” “Fain would I, but I dare not, I dare and yet I may not; 1 may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.” Senior Play, 1926. Linwood is a jolly fellow And when he’s mad, he can bellow, About his lessons he never worries, At 3:15 he always hurries, His homeward path, he gaily treads Thinking little of the work ahead. Oh! Linwood, we too would like to be as you, Always jolly and seldom blue.
