8 THE BLACK SANDS GOLD GLADYS HARRIS Member of Arrangement Com- mittee of Charles D. Mclver Literary Society, Section A; Member of Rooters’ Club. Gladys is preparing to teach school. We hope she does not intend to teach Physics, because she might sometime be stumped by a question from a pupil con- cerning the reason why water begins to expand as it goes be- low 4 degrees Centigrade. Her Latin pupils will be lucky, though, in having such a teacher. PATSY SMITH President of Charles D. McIver Literary Society, Section B; Member of Black and Gold Joke Committee; Member of Rooters’ Club; Member of Choral Club. “Patios siay real soir. one studies, but doesn’t let that inter- fere with her good time. She is an ardent supporter of every team which the High School puts out, as all the girls should be, but many are not. There is only one fault with Pat. She is just’ a little too popular to suit some- one we know.

THE BLACK AND GOLD 7 LILIAN SHAPIRO Secretary of Charles D. McIver Literary Society, Section A; Member of The Pickwick Play- ers; member of Rooters’ Club; Member of Choral Club. Lily made herself famous last year by writing a story that at- tracted attention as far north as Boston. Boston, mind you. When a Southern high-school girl writes something that gains notice in Boston, she has written something. But the trouble is, her writings are so rare. So it is ever with geniuses. ELEANOR SMITH Class Prophetess; Assistant Busi- ness Manager of Black and Gold; Vice-President of The Pickwick Players; Critic of the Charles D. Melver Literary Society, Section A; Member of Rooters’ Club. “Ts it a dream of delight, or a fair water-sprite, this form, as it flits to and fro?” It is just Eleanor—just Eleanor! There is no other in the world like her. She would be content to dance her life away, yet she would be just as content with her books and writing. Such a mixture! A coquette, a good sport, an ex- cellent student, a writer, in short, a genius. No matter where she is, she stars.

THE BLACK AND GOLD 9 ADA GRAY OGBURN Critic of Charles D. McIver Literary Society, Section B; Sec- retary of same during Spring Term; Member of The Pick- wick Players; Member of Root- ers’ Club; Member of Class Social Committee; Member of Choral Club. Although “Adda’s” hair is light, she is not a sister to Cicero. To look at Ada Gray, one would say that for pure quietness, she had Priscilla in the shade. But when she speaks, that image departs, for Ada Gray is a great tease and is a great lover of fun. LOULIE THORNTON Member of Program Committee - of Chirles D. McIver Literary Society; Member of Rooters’ Club; Member of The Pickwick Players; Member of Choral Club. Loulie towers above the other girls in showing her loyalty to the High School. We say this, meaning it literally and not figuratively, for Loulie is tall, in fact taller than nearly all the other girls.
