He’s smart, quite good at an editor’s job, a good actor, and what’s more, an ’‘athlete.” Taking him all in all, he’s hard to beat! NETTIE ROSE ZITTA “Ned” “Blushing is the color of virtue.” History Club; 4-L and 4-H Civics Clubs. Nettie is shy and blushes frequently, but this does not keep her from being a good student. She is as quiet and studious as her teachers wish her to be. — 26 —

Verna isn’t a Pollyanna,” but she is one of these girls who nearly always have a smile and the Imp of Mirth” hovering near the surface. We need more sincere smiles: so go to it, ‘ Sis,” and we can’t help but join you! FLORA ELIZABETH WILLCOX Wee Willie” Happy am , from care Vm free; Why can ' t they all be contented like me?

Flora was voted the most popular girl in our Senior Class. What mere can we say about her? She is care-free, gay, and happy. Flora truly de- serves the honor of being Miss Popularity.” Add to that her friendliness and her prominence in all P. H. S. activities — and there’s Flora! ELEANOR VAUGHAN WILLIAMS “Eleanore” For manners are not idle, but are the fruit of a noble mind and loyal nature. 4-L Civics Club: 4-H Civics Club: Athletic As- sociation: History Club: Spanish Club: Biology Club. A heart of gold and that subtle charm which you possess are two assets of your personality which make you to be known and loved. EDWARD FRANKLIN WILLIAMSON “Eddie” Friendly, fat, and full of folly.

JUNE CLASS MARGARET NAOMI ANDREWS “Peggy” “In hrr we find sobriety Yet mixed withal, with gaiety.’’ O. G. Club: Spanish Club; Biology Club: Page Special Society; Girls’ Chcrus; Athletic Association. A good smile and a word of cheer for everyone, that’s Margaret. She never fails to have her les- sons well prepared, but still, odd to say, she hates tests. That’s where she differs from the rest of us. May her life be as bright and happy as our high school days were. KATHRYN ROBERTS BEACKV ■ ' Sassy” “Always laughing, always jolly, .Always full of fun and folly.” -Athletic .Association. Step lively, everybody — here ' s “Sassy,” the snap- piest little dancer we know of. She’s a grand mixer with everyone and always ready to play pranks on her teachers and friends. Her motto is, Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weeii alone.” GEORGE STROTHER BERNARD “George” “Kindness is wisdom. There is none in life But needs it and may learn.” Secretary, Public Speaking Society; History Club; 4-L Civics Club; 4-H Civics Club; Junior Hi- ' ; Daniel Literary Society; Football Squad; Athletic Association. “Let George do it,” says an old adage or proverb. Quite right. He will and gladly. This specimen of St. Bernard is one of the quiet, reserved, easy- going, studious fellows of which there are so many in the High School . What-ta whopper! George has no equal at hitch-hiking and thinking up novel ideas. For some reason or other he has suddenly become interested in statistics. Why? CHARLES KILGO BRADSHER “Charlie” Friendliness encourages friendship.” Public Speaking Society; Page Special; Biology Club: 4-L Civics Club; History Club. Charlie” possesses a happy smile that will never wear off, has plenty of pep, and says things that would make anybody laugh. .Although he is rather timid in the presence of young ladies, he is a true sport and liked by all. ETHEL MAE BREEDEN “Jada” “.A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Secretary, Daniel Literary Society; History Club: 4-L Civics Club; 4-H Civics Club: Secretary, Spanish Club: .Athletic Association: Class Statijtician; Stu- dent Council: Reporter, The Alissile. Don’t let that innocent look in Ethel’s eye lead you astray! Gaze again upon the girl who loves hot dogs and Packards, who can out-talk Aliss Riddle and Mr. Burns (which is no small accomplishment I and who makes a golden every month. She is the solution to the question that has baffled us, why gentlemen prefer blondes.
