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.

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?

THE BLACK AND GOLD 17 FRANCES JEWETT Member of Student Council; Associate Editor of Black and Gold; Chairman of Program Committee of Charles D. McIver Literary Society; Member of Executive Committee of The Pickwick Players; Member of Rooters’ Club. For pure school spirit and loyalty, Frances Jewett is very, very hard to beat. She seems to have retained all of her Junior “pep” and acquired some more also. She is always out to every football or basketball game. If there were a few more like Frances in the High School, there would be no end to the cham- pionships that we would acquire. TESSIE WALLS Corrector of Charles D. Mclver Literary Society, Section A; Member of Black and Gold Joke Committee. This is dignified “Teck”. But she is dignified in appearance only, for she is just “chock full” of humor beneath her stern look. Tessie is very fond of her studies and also the classes, at least the ones which have men teachers.
