The Oak Leaf, 1927 n 1 — lenior Cl ass Minnie Miller Cord Glee Club; Assistant Business Manager Hi News”; Olympian Literary Society. Behold our gifted songbird ! Is it any wonder that the senior boys sit in rapt admiration as she gaily sings their cares away? Or is it any won- der that they prefer the smile of this golden- haired beauty to “A’s” on geometry? Charles Fallon Davis, Jr. Senior Players; Olympian Literary Society. Fallon has always been a worth} - contributor to all class and school activities. He has seldom been caught studying, but is one of the fortunate who seems to have a passing ticket. We notice that his “Hup” frequently finds its way up Tyler avenue, and we do not have to guess its destina- tion. Nannie Marie Elmore Basketball; Athenian Literary Society. Yes, we all know Marie is little, but did you ever see her on the basketball court? She sure can cover a lot of space, as her guards soon learn. Although she has been with us only a year, we have found her to be a splendid stu- dent and a true friend. Lloyd Ethridge Ferrell State Public Speaking Contest. ' 26; Oratorical Con- test, ' 27; Hi-Y Club; Athenian Literary Society. In writing a sketch of Lloyd, it is impossible to give even a resume of his good qualities. In his school work he has shown marked mental ability. As an orator Lloyd is without an equal in Hi. He alone dares to oppose “Senator Carper” in heated discussions of present day politics. 13

The Oak Leaf, 1927 n 1 — Semor Cl ass Virginia May Campbell Librarian, ’27; Assistant Librarian, ’ 2 f ; “Hi News”; Glee Club; Health Festival, ’26; Athenian Literary Society. Surely no one else could so efficiently fill the of- fice of librarian! Why, she even made us enjoy paying fines for hooks long overdue. Virginia May is one of our most reliable girls. We are expecting great things of her. Maurice Cecil Daily President Hi-Y Club; Cheer Leader; Art Editor “Tile Oak Leaf”; Senior Players; Athletic Editor Hi News”; Senior Features; Orchestra; Monogram Club; Olympian Literary Society; Football, ' 27. When there is something to be done, Maurice does it. Known for his true values, enthusiasm, and good qualities, he is liked by everyone. May there be more like him in Radford High. Juanita Evelyn Carter Glee Club; Olympian Literary Society. Every morning finds Juanita in the IV-B class- room actually studying — while lots of us are still sleeping! But when report cards are handed out, look at her smile ! Annie Pearl Conrad Olympian Literary Society. Annie’s laugh distinguishes her. There is none like it. It is most frequently heard in Miss Miller ' s French class. Annie never seems to lack topics for conversation, and is never without an audience. 12

n T1 T 1 QO V E lemor Cl ass Ruby India Furrow Olympian Literary Society. Our chewing gum shark, Ruby, is the one senior who is able to chew that delicious gum without calling forth that ominous “Five Off.” Coupled with this wonderful ability we shall never forget the tales Ruby relates in Miss Miller’s last study period. Virginia Preston Howe President Olympian Literary Society; Class Sec- retary-Treasurer, ’ 2 G ; Glee Club; Senior Features; Basketball, ' 26, ' 27; “Hi News.” Our fair beauty from Oklahoma ! Who can say that the seniors have not chosen with admirable wiseness their class beauty? Virginia came to us in ’24, straight from the “wild and woolly West,” and during the three years that she has been with us she has found a unique place in the hearts of every senior. We join in wishing her happiness wherever she may be. Frank Everett Grayson Class Vice-Presidpnt, ’25, ’26; Baseball. ’27; Senior Players; Olympian Literary Society. The only fault we have been able to find with this distinguished young man, so beloved of the fair sex, is that he sometimes has a peculiar aversion to washing his upper lip. He possesses remarkable athletic talent, lending to the baseball team his prowess. He makes a handsome figure in his uniform, too. Edith Elizabeth Jayne Senior Players; Athenian Literary Society. Although she is not at all old-maidish, she will always be remembered for her starring ability in old maid roles. When once a friend, Edith is always a friend. But what shall become of Edith? Surely she shall be a private secretary. 14
