LUCY MAE BOSWELL “bossy” “Her heart is as true as steel.’’ Freshman Club; Sophomore Club; Raven Society, (Secretary and Treasurer); High School Orchestra; Missile Reporter (3 years) ; Public Speaking So- ciety; History Club; Civics Club; Secretary, Daniel Society; Athletic Association; Banjo-uke Club; Spanish Club. Whenever you hear Lucy say that she is going to do a thing, you may know that she means what she says. She is one of that “common sense” kind, and one is lucky to have her for a friend. She will make some boy a good wife. Here’s good luck to Lucy. 4 LESTER INGLIS BOWMAN “lord droopy” “He has wit at will that, when angry, can sit him still.” President, Junior Hi-Y ; Hi-Y ; two years Cheer Leader; Secretary and Treasurer, Public Speaking Society; Assistant Business Manager, Missile; Cir- culation Manager, Roulette ; Student Council ; Spanish Club; History Club; Civics Club; Athletic Association. You can never have those “rainy day blues” when Lester’s around. He has plenty of “pep” and can say things that would make anybody laugh. We wish that Lester could interview Buster Keaton, because we know that it wouldn’t be long before Buster would break his record of never having laughed. MARY FISHER COLLIER “fisher” “My mind to me a kingdom is — Such perfect joy therein I find.” Daniel Society; Athletic Association; Girls’ Cho- rus; President, Banjo-uke Club; History Club; As- sociate Editor, Missile ; Associate Editor, Roulette ; Class Statistician. It is impossible to describe Mary Fisher in fifty words; or a hundred for that matter. Witty, merry, original, and a dandy good sport; without her the class would not be complete. There is nobody in the class who does not like her, and we know she’ll go on making friends after she finishes school. 23

FEBRUARY CLASS MARY BROWN ALLGOOD “brownie” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness And all her paths ar e peace.” Athletic Association; Daniel Society; F ' reshman Club; Sophorr.ore Club; Raven Society; History Club; Spanish Club; Civics Club. Mary Brown will be frank with you, and that’s what we want. When we ask anybody’s opinion, we want the truth. She is sincere about her duties and can be depended upon. Mary Brown can play basketball besides being a good practical sort of girl. WILBUR LEE ANDREWS “Andy” “The path of duty was his way to glory.” History Club; Civics Club; Monogram Club; Basketball Team (2 years); Baseball Squad; Man- ager, Boys’ Basketball Team; Annual Staff; Athletic Association. Wilbur is always ready to do his part. Of course, we all have our own faults. Wilbur’s is that he does love to talk rather than study sometimes. JOSEPH CLAIRBORNE BEST “joe” “A friend in need Is a friend indeed.” Junior Hi-Y ; Mo nogram Club; Basketball Team (2 years) ; Captain, Basketball Team (1 year) ; Ath- letic Association. Joe is not only a great asset to the basketball team, but to the whole class. He is never too rowdy or loud, but is a rare good fellow in every way. 4 22

MARGARET WEST COUSINS “piggie” “Thou hast no sorrow in thy song ; No winter in thy year Athletic Association; History Club; Banjo-uke Club. Margaret is always in a good humor, especially when she is helping “Belinda” find their latest sheik. She is the friend of the whole class. You can always depend on her to help you when you have bitten off a bigger bite than you can chew. In fact, Margaret is just the kind of a friend that everybody desires. 4 MINNIE VIRGINIA CRAFTON “o min” “What’s the use of worrying? It never was worth while.” Page Society ; Athletic Association ; Orchestra ; Spanish Club ; Missile Reporter ; Girls’ Chorus. Oh, for a lot of girls like Minnie! She has a vivacious personality that few can resist. One of her most famous hobbies is talking about Nathan, although it’s Mr. Miller occasionally. Minnie is never behind in anything; always up-to-date. She will be gone, but not forgotten. FRANCES CLAY DODD “frank” “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant to think on too.” Raven Society ; Civics Club ; History Club ; Ath- letic Association; Girls’ Chorus; Daniel Society. Oh Frenchy! Frances reads French like a streak of lightning, and it is all that we can do to keep up with her. She is not only a good French scholar but a good sport. We are seriously afraid that she is a dreamer! May her dreams come true!
