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. ROBERT IVY JONES “Carolina” “He was true to his word, his work, and his friends.” Beacon Staff ’23, ’24, ’25; Business Man- ager Beacon ’25; Business Manager Annual ’25; Sentinel ’26; President of Literary So- cieties ’25; Home Room Representative ’23, ’24; Vice-President Home Room Editors’ Association ’25; Vice-President of American Scientist Club ’25; Eureka Debating Team ’25; Class Hall of Fame ’25; High School Hall of Fame ’25; Class Executor ’25; Class Poet ’25.

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.

LOIS LATHAM “A good reputation is more valuable than money.” Give Lois an Algebra book and she’ll be perfectly happy. She’s a regular Algebra “shark”. But do you know that Math is not the only thing that interests her? Well, there’s a certain boy in N. C. who seems to have fallen for Lois’ enticing personality. Whoever he is, we certainly do envy him. ADOLPH H. LEVY “Count” “Upon the point of Cupid’s arrow Sat a “Lillie” fair. Into Adolph’s heart the arrow sped And left the “Lillie” there. Little is heard of Adolph because he is one of these fellows who have as their motto, “Live and learn”. However, when anything is done, Adolph is right there with his Class Spirit. If Adolph works in outside life as he has done in school, we know that he will be successful. JEROME LEVINSON “In idle wishes fools supinely stay; Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.” Jerome is our Freckled-Face boy. And a very good friend is he, He works and plays All through the days Ever ready for fun — And always on the run Best describes our Freckled-Face boy. ELIZABETH B. LINDSAY “Lizzie” “How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.” Home Room Representative ’24; Secre- tary Science Club ’25; Treasurer Home Economics Club ’24. If you are looking for a good sport and a good friend, just turn your eyes to our “Lizzie”. We have yet to see “Lizzie” with a frown upon her face or unwillingness on her part to help a less fortunate fellow. A student full of pep and school spirit has placed her high among our thoughts. Being a good sportsman, we know she will attain her goal in life.
