HANNAH EDNA DILLIARD PROF. “She is a learned creature, and one who never feared to tell her knowledge” She is one of the “educated” of our class, and therefore her nickname. One of her common sayings is, “All de times”. She performed her work at school very faithfully, only she never liked “Trig.” She was an Oratorical Contest speaker and captured the second prize. As a debater she has proven her ability in the Junior-Senior debate of 1916. She possesses great athletic ability, especially in Basket Ball, and was known as a “Star Player”. Her future desire is to be a Latin Professor, and she has our best wishes for success. We hope she may some day be the Latin teacher of our Alma Mater.

He was successful in winning a medal for scoring the most number of points at the track meet in Northampton. 1916. He holds this as a very valuable thing.
