THE OAK LEAF, 1922 Senior Class Myrtle Frances Reed The way to gain a friend is to be one Athenian Literary Society; Jolly Set. Myrtle came lo us In our junior year, entering heartily into all school activities, and has contributed much to the merriment of the class. Never will we forget her almost daily argument with Mr. McConnell concerning geometry; her breathless arrival at 12:50 p. m. and innocent inquiry: Am I late? together with her love for anything entertaining or romantic — well, in fact, we won t forget Myrtle at all. Glenn Reich McLeod “ Brilliant and handsome is our class dude. And you ' ll always find him in a gay mood. Athenian Literary Society. How does Glenn manage to keep so speckless and spotless? When all the rest of the class are weaiy, disheveled and grimy, Glenn, much to our envy, emerges from the heap with his usual smile. Despite his neat appearance, he is one of our most loyal fellow students and has a wide circle of friends through- out the entire school. Margaret Pauline Scott Of disposition soft and sweet. Is entertaining yet discreet. A girl you’re always glad to meet , — That ' s Pauline. Athenian Literary Society. “Among the good there is the best,” so it is with Pauline. We seldom think of her that we do not instantly connect with her the missing link — Nina Linkous. Her quiet and amiable disposition and faithfulness as a friend will serve her well when she lakes up her walk of life. Page twenty-six

THE OAK LEAF, 1922 Senior Class Lola Gibboney Proffitt And fair she is, if mine eyes he true. And true she is, as she hath proved herself. ’ Athenian Literary Society; Senior Program. Lola is one of the most brilliant girls in the class, although not known or noted for her studious habits, much preferring Zane Grey to Wells Hart. Long will we remember Lola as impersonating ‘Miss Minerva, which role she acted so well, yet we admit that she is not intended for an old maid. As a teacher we predict a great future for her. William Gernon Wall A specimen of manhood rare. We ' d hate to pay for his bill of fare. Athenian Literary Society; Athletic Association; Varsity Football, ’21. Gernon isn t noted as a scholar, we admit, but who is thought more of by every one than he? He has adopted the policy, “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” and by his good nature has won the friendship of all. Very polite, a dead-game sport, a promising athlete, and an all-round good fellow. Isa Victoria Ratcliff “She is worth her Weight in gold Athenian Literary Society. “Isy may think we are overrating her value. However, we know that this is a poor estimate. Isa, who believes in always being prepared, is willing to pass her hard-earned knowledge on to some idle joy-seeker. Her one regret on leaving high school is that her name has so frequently been mispronounced, having been called everything from Isa to “Icie. Her beaming countenance, good nature, and cheery smile will linger forever in the hearts of her fellow classmates. Page twenty-five

Quiet, serene and composed, ‘Venus is one of our few really dignified seniors. As a pianist she is a marvel, possessing a color and delicacy of touch which, if she continues her study in music, will lead her to a promising future. Further noted as one of the best mathematicians and scientists in the class. Thomas Andrew Lawrence When there ' s a committee — there ' s a nerv one evert; minute , — It isn ' t a real committee if Tom isn’t in it. Athenian Literary Society; Vice-President Class, ' 18-’19. Why is Tom invariably selected to serve on committees? Simply because he possesses those qualities which so well fit hint for this place. Very quiet, not given to much talking, even in Mr. McConnell’s class. Studious and always punctual, not having been absent or tardy for four long years. Mae Myrtle Wheeling A shy, demure young person rvith a quiet, mouse-lilfe air; Unless you hear her name called, you scarcely fyno n she ' s there. Athenian Literary Society. I his is a young lady whom we often looked up to with admiration and awe — longing to imitate her firm and steadfast walk in the paths of knowledge. Her earnest application to duty as well as her mathematical ability, have won her the respect of the faculty, and her general cheerfulness the love of her fellow students. Page tmenly-seVen
