THE OAK LEAF, 1922 3qJ= i tim i H V. f‘r l-MSm PVi ' fV ' ! Vr f ■■ .MiVivlv Senior Class Stella Lillian Dudley Her life was honest i vorl(, not plap Athenian Literary Society. As a student Lillian ranks among the foremost in the class. She is also a true friend. She is a diligent, hard-working student, but always has time for a smile and a word of cheer for all. She will attain a high mark in whatever she may undertake. Joseph Blair Einstein He was four feet of man, A No. ” Athenian Literary Society; Senior Program. “Say, Budd, you got a nickel? ” Almost daily we hear “Strom ' s pleading voice make this appeal for finance. He has never failed to float a loan. “Strom’s passionate love for playing marbles, spinning tops, or whatever happens to be the vogue in season, is his favorite pastime. Just four feet six inches tall, this independent, clever, cute, witty little fellow has laughed his way into the hearts of all. Violet Elizabeth Fisher When studies and pleasures clash. Then let studies go to smash.” Athenian Literary Society: Vice-President Class, ' 19-’20; French Club; Jolly Set; Senior Program. Violet was voted the cutest girl in the Senior Class, which distinction she justly deserves. Only four feet eleven inches in height, she is our smallest girl in size, but not in importance. Her one failing is jazz music, which she prefers played on the phonograph. Page eighteen

Senior Class Garnette Evelyn Covey Her voice lvas ever soft, gentle, and low. An excellent thing in woman. Athenian Literary Society. Elvelyn with her smile and jest has won a great number of friends. She is quiet and reserved to those who do not know her so intimately, but to the “chosen few she is jolly and always ready for a good time. Continually taking other people’s troubles to heart, she is a very comfortable person to have around. Riner Davis Duncan Now Riner is not so much of a student , — A jolly good fellow, but always prudent. Athenian Literary Society. “Ninny is always present when any fun is in progress, and his dry humor usually adds to the occasion. Nowhere will you find any one who has a broader knolwedge of animals and nature. What he doesn t know about dogs, rabbits, birds and girls isn’t worth knowing. Ruby Holland Dobyns IV ill she rival Eleanor Porter? Will she write thrilling bool(s? Or will she calmly marry and join the League of Coolfs? Athenian Literary Society. ' lo describe this young lady in a few words is not an easy task, for when we look back over the four years at R. H. S. we see her a kind, brilliant, obedient pupil and classmate, cheerfully and thoroughly plodding her weary way. A sunny temper, a quiet dignity, and a great deal of perseverance are her most striking characteristics. Page seventeen

J P Senior Class Vesta Gertrude Foster Her face malfes sunshine in the shad} places Athenian Literary Society. Dignity mingled with sweetness and a touch of reserve describes “Gertie.” She is efficient, having left a good scholastic record behind her; steady and dependable, one of those friends of whom you are sure. We have heard a rumor that she is deeply interested in a certain George. We wonder — Milton Watson Fisher Things are bound io happen — why worry? Everything comes to him who wails — why hurry? Athenian Literary Society; Varsity Baseball, ’21; Varsity Football, ’20-’21; Athletic Association. Where could we find a quotation more fitting for Fish ? We marvel at his placid and indifferent nature, even Lola’s charms being unable to perturb him for any length of time. He has been known to sit quietly through one of the stormiest class meetings, calm and peaceful as a summer sea. Further distinguished as a jeweler of no mean degree, the originator of many senior pranks, fondness for flashy socks, and the W hiz Bang. Frances Elizabeth Fitzpatrick “ Frances is a quiet artist — not the temperamental l(ind , And a more agreeable person you ll never find. Athenian Literary Society; Senior Program; Art Editor Oak Leaf of ’22; Secretary Class, ’22; Jolly Set. Frances — attractive to the boys by her charming simplicity; delightful to the girls by her good nature and sweet disposition; beloved by the faculty for her studious habits. The drawings and cartoons which have been so great an influence in making this book a success are due largely to her skill and energy as an artist. Page nineteen
