THE BLACK AND GOLD 15 RUTH CORRELL Member of Rooters’ Club. Ruth studies hard. That is why we never are disturbed by having a teacher say, “Ruth, throw that gum away and stop flirting with Donald.” Just imagine a girl making the high- est mark on a physics exam! She will be a second — Go to it, Ruth. FLORENCE DAVIS Assistant Editor-in-Chief of Black and Gold; Member of Black and Gold Joke Committee ; Member of Choral Club; Mem- ber of High School Typewriting Team. Florence is the queerest com- bination in the Senior class. She is a bear in English, her position as assistant-editor-in-chief of the Black and Gold attesting to that. She is also a Domestic Science fiend, delighting in cooking, sew- ing and the like. And she is a business student of rare ability. What can’t she do?

14 THE BLACK AND GOLD BLUMIE FERGUSON Corrector of Chas. D. McIver Literary Society, Section A; Asso- ciate Editor of Black and Gold; Member of Rooters’ Club; Mem- ber of Black and Gold Joke Com- mittee; Assistant Press Reporter of Chas. D. Mclver Literary Society. Watch out, Fox. You have a rival. Here is Blumie. Blumie is little; but my! with a head like hers, one ought to be con- tent if only three inches high. If those old Latin writers thought they could write something that Blumie Ferguson couldn’t read, they were mistaken. At least, if they did write such a thing, it hasn’t been found. ANNIE BELLE YINGLING Secretary of Senior Class; Mem- ber of Choral Club; Member of Rooters’ Club. We have often heard of a bell tingling, but never before did we know that one could yingle (whatever that is). Annie is a belle and some time she will get a ring, you may be sure. We often wonder what she studies besides cooking. It must be something domestic, for she is always carrying an apron.

16 THE BLACK AND GOLD IRENE SPEER Chairman of Program Commit- tee Charles D. Mclver Literary Society, Section B; Member of Rooters’ Club; Member of The Pickwick Players; Member of Black and Gold Joke Committee. Irene is most noted for her office, President of Ignorance Corner. She can dodge studying as easily as her illustrious brother ever dodged a tackle. “Screenie” is always cheerful, but never more so than when seated in a “movie palace” with a wad of Wrigley’s. EDITH LEIGH Chairman of Program Commit- tee of Charles D. Mclver Liter- ary Society, Section B; Member of The Pickwick Players; Mem- ber of Rooters’ Club. Edith is very fond of North Carolina, but “Oh, you Virginia!” She is extremely fond of Virginia and most especially of the people from there. If you are looking for trouble just say something against Virginia in her hearing. What will happen? Just try it, then you will know.
