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.

6 THE BLACK AND GOLD VERNIE FERGUSON Critic Chas. D. McIver Literary Society, Section B; Member Rooters’ “Club; Member Choral Club; Member Student Council. Class Poet. Vernie is just an exact repro- duction of Blumie. She is an ex- cellent student and an excellent girl. She is always ready to do her little bit, and she does it well. ’Ray for Vernie! JESSIE NORMAN Vice-President of Senior Class; President of Charles D. Mcelver Literary Society, Section A; Member of Rooters’ Club; Mem- ber of The Pickwick Players. Pretty Jessie! Always in for a good time, no matter what nor when. Does she ever study? She must. For she never wor- ries. And one who never studies must worry; because lack of study means a Doubtful Blank. Oh, that horrible name!

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.
