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

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!

ANTHONY ROSENSTOCK FISCHER “snaky” “Without him as a friend, no one would choose to live.’’ Daniel Society; Football Team (3 years) ; Basket- ball Team (2 years); Hi-Y ; Monogram Club; Pub- lic Speaking Society. We all like “Snaky.” It’s such an easy thing to do because he is such a good sport and so good- natured. He plays football well and basketball also; and his voice is often heard in the physics laboratory. There can’t be much gloom around when “Snaky” is there. Keep it up, you’re on the right track, “Snaky.” 4 NATHANIEL EULICE FRANKLIN “benjamin” “An experienced, industrous, ambitious boy.” Spanish Club; Winner Typewriting Certificate; Orchestra; Athletic Association. It is hard to think of this class without Eulice. He is always ready to help others, and with his perseverance he sets an example for others. With his quiet ways, he is like a familiar setting ; the place he holds in one’s heart is not fully known until he is gone. VIRGINIA RUFF ' IN GILLIAM “dumbbell” “So well to know.” Her own that what she wills to do or sav Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetist, best.” Missile Reporter; Treasurer Freshman Club; So- phomore Club; Raven Society; Civics Club; His- tory Club; Page Society; Editor Missile; Girls’ Basketball Team; Associate Editor, Roulette; Asso- ciate Editor Missile; Vice-President, Student Council; Class Prophet. If you know anything funny, just tell it to Vir- ginia. She has a lively sense of humor and always sees the bright side of things. Virginia has shown us what a good editor she can be, and we expect much from her in the literary world. She is a demo- cratic type and is a very clever girl. - «§f 26
