Offi cers of the S enior Cl ass Lucien Doyle Adams Class President, ' 25, ' 27; Assistant Manager of The Oak ' Leaf”; Senior Players; “Hi News, ' 25, ' 27; Senior Features. Behold our handsome president! An excellent student, a talented actor, a capable orator, and an efficient leader — that ' s Lucien! Truly, a large measure of the success of “The Oak Leaf” and each activity of the class has been due to him. Philip Doane Sharp Vice-President, Class of ' 27; President Athenian Literary Society; Senior Players. Ladies and gentlemen! This is the handsome, sophisticated and learned Philip, who hails from Chicago, and daily impresses us with our great loss in not having such an illustrious member for more than one year. His magnetic person- ality, coupled with his love for (a) Southern beauty, has made him the most ardent of lovers. Dora Belle Mitchell Secretary, Class of ' 27. Vice-President, ' 25; Athletic Editor. The Oak Leaf ; Manager Basketball, ' 27; Secretary Monogram Club; Cheer Leader; Hi News”; Senior Players; Senior Features; Oratorical Contest. Who can take the place of Dora Belle in all school activities? She holds a unique place in seniordom. We think the Senior Class made no mistake in selecting her as the most popular girl. John Taylor Lawrence Treasurer Class of ' 27; Joke Editor. “The Oak Leaf ; Senior Players; Senior Features. Nooney” is that good-natured senior who is al- ways smiling. When everything goes wrong we may expect the proverbial, “Well, it’s a good thing,” from Nooney.” Is it any wonder that he is a favorite with the fair sex and popular with everybody ? 9

n The Oak Leaf, 1927 n lenior Cl ass Josephine Raney Anderson Constitutional Committee of the Olympian Literary Society. Our quiet and studious “Jo” will be remembered for her eraser borrowing. A sweet, likeable girl, “Jo” has a large number of friends. When re- port cards are given out, there is always a smile on her face. Ole Hi needs more like “Jo.” Ara Rosamond Anthony Senior Players; Hi News”; Olympian Literary Society. Isn’t he the cutest one at Tech?” “Nip was over last night, my dear.” Such expression may be heard daily in the Senior Class rooms, as Ara gaily raves to a group of admirers who listen in mild amazement. As the bride who was so mis- erable in “And Home Came Ted,” Ara proved her versatility as an actress. William Lawrence Burton Business Manager of “The Oak Leaf”; Class Presi- dent. ’2( ; Secretary of Hi-Y Club; Orchestra; Sen- ior Features; Olympian Literary Society. It is impossible to think of “The Oak Leaf” and not think of “Bill,” to whom the success of the book is largely due. A violinist of unusual tal- ent, a business manager of much ability, and an all-round good sport who ranks high in the esteem of his classmates — that’s “Bill.” Charleen Steele Beller Program Committee of Athenian Literary Society, ' 26; Glee Club. Charleen is the pretty little brunette who has not bobbed her hair. A sweet, quiet, unassuming and dependable girl, Charleen cannot number her friends in High School. If there were more like her, school wouhl be more pleasant for stu- dents and faculty alike. io C
