18 Cije Eoulette VIRGINIA E. BUCKINS BROCKWELL “Katy-did” “Nothing ever, hardly ever, troubles meN Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; Civics Club; Friendship Club; on Original Staff of School Weekly News. Katy-did is our smallest senior; but what she lacks in height, she makes up in fun and pep. Nobody can be gloomy when she is around, and, if you want to be cheered up, just go and talk to Virginia. GRACE AILEEN CASHON “Huckleberry” “Don’t worry about your work; do what you can, let the rest go, and smile all the time.” Daniel Literary Society; Missile Reporter; Athletic Association; Friendship Club. It was, indeed, a favorable wind that blew little Grace to us. She is like a twittering bird, always happy and gay. Furthermore, she can “act smart” and naughty, too, but still she’s a good sport. ELIZABETH COGBILL “Bep” “She is timid, she is shy. But there’s mischief in her eye.” Secretary and Treasurer of Civics Club; Secretary and Treasurer of Junior Class; Page Literary Society; Ath- letic Association; Historian of February Class. And here is one of our most dependable students, who is always willing to lend a helping hand. Also, one might guess by looking at her, that her motto is “keep smiling.”

Ci)e Eoulette 17 February Class EULA BLANCHE BEASLEY “Hula” “Far may we search before we find A heart so gentle and so kind.” Athletic Association. Modest, demure, and meek to strangers, hut always jolly and good-natured to her friends — that’s Eula. In speaking of her one always thinks of a true, willing, and conscientious classmate. What more is necessary? LEONARD MORTON BLUMBERG “Peter” ’Twixi sense and nonsense daily changes sides.” Vice-President and twice Treasurer, Daniel Literary Society; on Program Committee, Daniel Society, two years; Missile Reporter; Hi-Y Club; Business Manager of Annual; Civics Club; on Original Staff of School Weekly News; Will Writer; General Manager of Lyceum Course; Athletic Association. Peter is full of fun and is always looking for a good time; but we fear he will end his career by managing a pawn shop. However, he’s a jolly good fellow, and everybody likes him. JAMES GORDON BOWMAN “Though modest, on his unembarrassed brow Nature has written, ‘Gentleman’ ” . Hi-Y Club; Page Literary Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Art Staff of Annual. Gordon is rather quiet in all things; quite willing to do you a good turn at any time. He draws well, he likes chocolate pie, he’s good-natured, and — well, everybody likes him.

Cfte IRouIette 19 DOROTHY WILLIA3 IS CROSS “Dot” “Jolly, yet serious; fun-loving, yet sincere.” Athletic Association. Speaking of Dorothy, she is the same, steady, serious girl, who is always willing to help you over the snares. She is one who takes a long time to decide, but when once decided, never changes; and, above all, when her friendship is once gained, it is never lost. ALEXANDER GORDON GILLIAM “Sandy” “In him all generous virtues blend.” President Athletic Association; Football Team; President Hi-Y Club; Monogram Club; President Civics Club; Mu Epsilon Phi; Secretary and Treasurer February Senior Class; Annual Staff; President Page Society; on Original Staff of School Weekly News; Page Society Debating Team; Treasurer Athletic Association. Some are born great, some acquire greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Sandy was born great, and every day in every way he’s been getting greater and greater. FOSTER BAGWELL GRESHAM “Ikie” ‘‘Earnest, honest, truthful, and sincere. With ntamj other qualities one might revere.” Associate Editor of Annual; Business Manager of Missile; Circulation Manager of Missile; Vice-President Civics Club; Hi-Y Club; Orchestra; on Original Staff of School Weekly News; Page Society; Athletic Association. “Moderate in everything” would properly describe Foster, He never gets angry, yet sometimes peeved; he’s never hilarious, but always good-natured. Yes, he’s dignified, but always wears a friendly smile. When looking for a good friend, pick Foster.
