s ELIZABETH ROWE A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. Elizabeth has just been with us one semester, coming to us in September. But she Walked straight into our hearts with her Winning smile and sweet disposition. The other school's loss ,is our school's gain. ' HILDA PAY ' SCOLL The strongest minds are often those This noisy world hears least. Philolethian Literary Society '23g Spanish Club '245 Home Economics Club '22: Chairman of Program Committee of English Club '25. H Hilda is one of our many CU quiet-girls, she never says much but she is very' studious and A's are the usual things on her report. DOROTHY SCULL And her heart was lilled with poetry. Many creative verses of poetry have been written instantly by Dot . Her mind is clear and her pen is free and the result is some of the most beautiful poetry you would care to read. This old world had better keep its eye open because Dot is writing right along and we will soon have another national poet in her. Dream on, fair dreams come true, Dorothy. ROBERT WESLEY SHERMAN I ! Football '24, '25, '26. ., Listen one and all for the wise and witty is in our midst. A little bit of originality on the tip of the tongue Iits the occasion much better at times than does a huge book of learning. We know our old school will never throw open its door to another that will equal that entertaining person- ality of Happy's. Wherever you meet him, -he is always prepared to drive away sorrow and bring in a laugh with some catchy remark. Not only is he Witty, but Happy is a good student and always ready to participate in any school activity. We think it hurts the faculty and we know it hurts the student body to see him extend an open hand and grasp a ready engraved sheep skin. As we say Au Revoir to Robert Wesley Qbetter known as Happyj let us emphasize the fact that we are forever boasting toward your overwhelming success.
