lass Statistics JACK SAUNDERS OULD that, like the poet or prophet, I could picture to you only pleasing fancies concerning my class mates, but since statistics must deal with facts, I shall endeavor to give you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The average weight of the members of this wonderful class is approximately 130 pounds, while the combined weight is about four tons. The average height is about 5 ft. 7 in.,g the aggregate height is around 330 feet. The true age could not be accurately determined, but by estimating each girl's age as sixteen I found the average age to be about seventeen and one-half yearsg the aggregate age is about ten centuries. The most perfect pair of feet in the class of '29 is claimed by Jolm Watlington, Jr.g Francis Anderson contends that he deserves second place. The most shapely nose belongs to June Bug DeLancey. Excessive snoring has probably aided its growth. It grieves me to add that he often takes a nap in class. Maude Walker possesses the sweetest smile. One smile from her and, prestol- cares and worries vanish. Grace finds its personitication in Louise Roach. The pine and willow lose by comparison with her. Sol Schulman is no doubt our most conceited member. However, Sol's self-re- liance is an invaluable asset, and his good looks and unusual knowledge are not al- together mere figments of the mind. E The quietest girl in our class is Mary Cummings, and she really deserves a tribute at mv hands. Her demure ways and Winsome smile have won for her friends by the score. Nathan Link is our best executive. In all school activities and organizations, Nathan has taken an active part. and, as a real leader, he is unequaled. There have been athletes before, but none to compare with our own Lewis Allen. YVhen you see him on the field in action you somehow visualize Red Grange. Babe Ruth, and VValter Johnson all combined into the one supreme athlete. If our class prophet should look long enough into the crystal ball he would doubtless see Lewis writing a renowned book entitled, The Last VVord in Athletics. WVben class supcrlatives were being voted Harry Benson our class president was declared the handsomest. However. he voted twice for himself, and thereby caused the statistic-ian to lose that honor by only one vote. 28

Sarah Kemp is o11r most 'musical member. Indeed it has been rumored that Marion Talley retired from the stage Illlll began to raise chickens when she heard of the musical ability of this most talented young lady of Rcidsville. The rare wit of Viglini Lively has often briglitcned many otherwise llllll class periods. It is predicted tl1:1t she will most surely suecced Nina lVilcox Putnam as :111erica's onlv woman humorist. X . The best debaters in o11r class are Margaret Banc and Francis Anderson. People have been known to walk great distances to get beyond the range of their voices. It is impossible to mention all the iridividual facts that should bc herein recorded. However we agree tl1at one person with the sweet bewitehing smile of Mary Richardson. the vivacity of Helen Jones, Viglini Livcly's unrivaled wit. Francis Anderson's poise, the combined cuteness of lNIayer lVeinstein and Cordiev Myrick. Frances Scl1oolt'ield,s modesty.
