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.

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.

FRANK MONFALCONE “There was a little man, and he had a little soul; And he said, ‘Little soul, let us try, try, try!’ ” And maybe this is why Frank is so well known in our class and school. Frank never gave up the ship, when it seemed about to sink, but he piloted it to a saft goal. Frank is the sort of chap who we would like to have more of, but we know his sort is rare. Never mingling into other people’s affairs, but minding his own, has made him a helpful classmate. Frank, may you captain your ship successfully in the business world, as you have done in school. Good luck to you. ESTHER NACHMAN “Her tongue’s on a pivot, It wags at both ends.” Here’s the eighth wonder of the world. Do you hear that steady chattering in the back of the room? Yes, that’s Esther. Attractive and forever talking best de- scribes her. That’s the reason she has got it as the “Biggest Chatterbox” of our Class. Esther comes from that famous family that has won many honors in the literary field of activities in our high school. RALPH NETTLES “The Crest and crowning of all good, Life’s final star, is Brotherhood.” If it wasn’t for the fact that Ralph is so smart, we wouldn’t know he was with us half the time, he is so quiet. But just think what a class we would have if Ralph were not there to balance all the noise. But that’s alright, Ralph, we know that you’ve got talent regardless of what it is, and it won’t be long before it’s developed and you’ll be very famous. KATHLEEN O’HARA “Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.” Orchestra ’24, ’25, ’26; Annual Play ’24; Basketball ’24, ’25; Captain Basketball ’25; Class Prophet ’26; Secretary Student Coun- cil ’26; Senior Play ’26. Kathleen is a good sport — yes, in ath- letics, too. She can throw that basket-ball in the basket as if it were an everyday habit. Now that’s saying a lot. Kathleen is a regular musician, too. We wouldn’t be in the least surprised to hear that Mischa Elman had a great rival in Kathleen some day. Good luck to you, Kathleen, and may success be with you. I ' atre Thirty
