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!

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

ANNE GOODWYN DOUTHAT “senorita” “To look up and not down, To look forward and not back, To look out and not in, And to lend a hand.” History Club; Civics Club; President, Music Club; Girls’ Chorus; Double Quartette; Athletic Associa- tion; Page Society; Raven Society. Whenever an accomplished pianist is needed, Anne is always called to the front. We all admit that Anne can play, and she is always ready to help out. We wish her ' good luck and may she “shine” in the musical world ! THEODORE OLIVER DOWNING “mousie” “Patience is his remedy for every sorrow.” History Club; Athletic Association; Football Scrub; Orchestra; Band. “Mousie” has created for himself a place in the hearts of his lellow students. His quiet unassuming disposition has almost become a proverb among his associates. You never realize his true worth until deprived of his companionship. Everyone is well acquainted with “Mousie’s” good-natured tempera- ment. ELIZABETH PERKINS FALCONER “liz” “ ’Tis said to keep from idleness Or flirting, those twin curses, She spent her leisure, more or less. In writing po — no, verses.” Civics Club; History Club; Athletic Association; Daniel Society; Public Speaking Society; Spanish Club. We wish that Mr. Miller could see some of “Liz- zie’s” poetry that she doesn’t “hand in.” Here’s where she shines. Ask her and she will show you some. We shouldn’t be surprised to hear that some day she has become famous writing lively poems for “Life.’’ 2 5
