24 Cfte Houlette WILLIAM WHITE READE “Bill” “Honest and sincere— a true friend to everyone.” Athletic Association; Page Literary Society; History Club ; Civics Club ; High School Band. “Bill” is an ardent supporter of all the school activi- ties. He takes misfortune with a calmness rarely known ; in victory he wears a smile that invites us all to share it with him. ' ‘Bill” has a great objective in the business world, and we feel sure that such a fine all-round fellow will reach the heights of success. LUCIUS PEEBLES ROBERTSON, Jr. “If at first you don’t succeed , try, try again.” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; Cadet Corps; History Club; Civics Club; Hi-Y Club; Foot- ball Squad of ’23. Lucius is always trying hard, and usually succeeds. While not the brightest pupil in his class he can usually be found near the leaders at the end of the term. In football, he has been out on the field doing his best at every practice. ELDRIDGE COOK SIMMONS “Educated” “His brain is a vast storehouse of knowledge.” Athletic Association; History Club; Civics Club; Missile Reporter; School Weekly News Staff; Page Literary Society; Class Historian. Studying is Eldridge’s favorite pastime, with checker- playing a close second. His code is : “To will, to strive, and not to yield.” It seems to have brought success, for “Educated” is appealed to as referee in many dis- putes over scholastic affairs.

Ruth is indeed a pal good and true, always ready to help you out of your troubles and always ready to hear your sorrows. She rejoices with you when you have good luck and comforts you when you weep. She is an all-around good sport and keeps us all in good spirits. WOODARD ALLEN RAINE “Allen” ‘‘He is quiet, sincere, but happy at heart, With a gladness untold, he does more than his part.” Page Literary Society; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News Staff; Athletic Association; High School Band and Orchestra. Allen is one of the most faithful of our class, and is always ready to help his friends. We have never seen him too serious, but at all times he wears a smile that lias won the love and good will of his schoolmates — he is truly everything that becomes a gentleman. MARY ANN RAMEY “Bobbie” ‘A smile that to ins, the tints that gloiv, But tell of days in goodness spent; A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent.” Daniel Literary Society ; Civics Club ; School Weekly News; History Club; Friendship Club. Mary is a good old pal, and we don’t know how we’d do without her. She’s a friend, indeed, in a time of need.

She is a good cook and will make her “fu- ture” a good wife some day. She is always willing to help in any work or to do almost anything you ask her. HERBERT G. TALBOTT “Tabby” “ Better to be small and shine Than to be large and cast a shadow.” Page Literary Society; School Weekly News; His- tory Club ; Athletic Association ; Orchestra ; Civics Club ; Missile Reporter. “Tabby” is an all-round friend and has a heart for one so small. “Nerve” is his middle name, and no obstacle can stand in his way when once his mind is set on accomplishing any task. LILLIAN ANNA TEMPLE “Temp” “She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; As- sociate Editor Annual Staff; Typewriting Speed Cer- tificate. She’s a marvel of beauty, and her prey is man. Is it her raven locks, her natural blush? We cannot solve the mystery. Or perhaps it’s her loving personality; fun-loving, a good sport, coquettish, a maid of the highest ideals. Lillian captivates all.
