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.

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.

prrr FLOYD MARSH “Sid” “0 Romeo, I hear you calling me.” President 4B Class, Vice-President Senior Hi-Y, Vice-President Junior Hi-Y. Although he is a capable, hard-working president, he has time to turn to the fair sex now and then. We don’t blame you, Floyd, we all falter in our footsteps when “Ye blonde passes by.” But we hail our president with good cheer, and may he lead in life as well as he has lead our class through these school years. HARRY C. MARTIN, Jr. “Harry” “What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me.” Home Room President ’22, ’23, ’24; Home Room Representative ’22; Vice-President Math Club ’24, ’25; Class Play ’26. Harry is our fashion plate, that is for the boys. His snappy suits and slick-back hair has made him a sort of model among the boys and a favorite among the girls. And do you know that Harry is in 1-o-v-e? It was just recently that we found this out. But please don’t tell, you see it’s just a secret. And do you know that Harry is a grand actor ? FRANCIS MEYER “Frankie” “Ever ready for fun.” President 3B Class. Behold, Dapper Dan steps forth. And hast heard Frankie play with the ivories Oh! you should listen. When he starts, even the chairs and tables, along with the piano begin to prance to the tune of his melodious hammering of the hammers. Haste along, Frankie, but don’t fall for anyone’s winsome chatter. It doesn’t pay. MAY MICH IE “The silence that is in the starry sky.” Salutatorian. Do you know that May is one of the most studious girls in our class? She always knows her lessons; whether they are long or short makes no difference to her. And May certainly is witty. It just makes us wonder sometimes how she gets those witty sayings up in that small head of hers. We’re sure of one thing though, we all like May and we are mighty sorry to lose her. Page Twenty-nine
