QCD 11115 Elf -IRDHUURB l9l7 JULIA KATHLEEN BOGLE. Faithful, gentle, good, Wearing lhc rose of womanhoodf' To a stranger Kathleen may seem rather quiet and reservedg but any one that knows her noble character can tell you that she is a potent factor of the world's development and one who makes only friends along her path. She has won our admiration and esteem by her sweet disposition and untiring efforts to aid her classmates. We have found her to be a faithful student, with the determination to suc- ceed. Although practical and matter-of-fact she always seems ready for innocent fun. Kathleen is a little undecided as to what course she will pursue, but her great ambition is to take one along the medical line. Whatever her future career may be, she has our best wishes for great success. WILLIAM WARREN DICKERSON A man after his own heart. Warren, whose wavy golden locks are a familiar sight about R. H. S., is one of the most studious members of the 'l7 Class. His popu- larity amon.g the fair sex is evinced by his fondness for coming to school every morning with a bevy of damsels. Further proof of this weakness is shown in his conduct while portraying Shakespearean roles, for which he has a great ability. We do not know what plan this tall blond has for the future, but we have a suspicion that his happy and careless freedom will soon be curtailed and more serious duties thrust upon him. A. A.: L. S. EVA CATI-ILEEN BONDURANT The mildest manners, And the gentlcsl heart. Eva is one of the sweetest girls in our Senior Class. She is always willing to help any of her fellow students and has won all our hearts by her kind and gentle personality. One moming, when talking about the Faculty, Eva astonished us all by exclaiming about one member, Oh! he is a perfect dear. Eva is sometimes tardy and when she linds three points taken from her deporlment she is terribly disap- pointed. She expects to teach this fall and we know that she will be successful in this phase of life, with her sweet and clemure manners. G. C.

She leaves behind her an enviable record, never 'having to take an exam until her senior year. No subject seemed to present a difhculty to her, though she starred especially in modern languages, mastering both French and German. Rosa also has an abundance of school spirit and every game finds her on the side lines shouting with all her might for old R. H. S. Whatever may be Rosa's aim in life, she is sure to succeed and when we part on our many different ways, she will take with her the best wishes of the Class of 'l7. M. W. L. 5.3 A. A.g G. C,g Sec. M.

'l6-'l7g Organization Ed. of ACORNS, 'l7g Pt. of H. 5. - ALFRED CHARLES DAVIS He is so generally civil lhal nolnozly tliankecl liim for it. ln several ways he reminds us of the opposite sex-his low voice Cfor which he is often chided by Miss Critzj, his effeminate hands with their Chinese finger nails, his flowing raven locks and his small feet fNo. 101. Yet withal, to those who know him, he is far superior to a female. He realizes the advantages of R. H. 5. and left his home in Tennessee that he might come here and enjoy these ad- vantages. Though he participateth not in our sport he is as anxious as any other pupil that victory comes our way. B. C.g A. A. EDNA VIRGINIA BITTERMAN 'ilnfinile riches in lilile room. Although Edna is small in stature she has a large heart, and a deter- mination that enabled her to finish her I-Iigh School course in three and a half years. She it rather shy and al times very quietg but an acquaintance with her reveals a bright and true disposition. Edna enjoys having a good time and would often have sacrificed Virgil for a good movie romance. Of all her subjects Bitty lil-:es United States History the best and she is especially interested in the trouble with Mexico for the1'e's a reason. We are all very much attached to Edna and we hope that she will enjoy a fruitful college career. A. A.: G. C.

1917 Qlnznrns ,uf Ifiuann EVELYN LENA BOHN Happy am lg from care l'm free. Lena is one of the jolliest girls in the school, yet you have to know her to understand her. She often speaks her mind fbut no one pays any attention to herb. Lena is a star pupil in Civics and argues by the hour on suffrage: she is also in the tardy race, for one morn- ing when she came on time, one of the pupils exclaimed, Why, Lena, how in the world did you get here at tive minutes to nine? Lena expects to teach next year, but we predict that she will be a congress woman in about the year l925. HARLEY ELSWORTH ERB A short man may casl a long sl1ado1v. This is certainly true about Harley. Although he is small of stature, his radiating influence is felt in more ways than one throughout the Senior Class. He has won a place in the hearts of all his classmates by his ever readiness to lend a hand either in mischief or help, for he never troubles about low grades, as he has none. Harley is a most worthy exponent of the Calico Club ? ? ? and an aspirant of Athleticsg he is also rather active in literary work, having proved a great help to the Jefferson Literary Society. He has the reputation of bringing good lunches to school and at or before dismissal is al- ways surrounded by a crowdof irresistible bums. After further college preparation, if Harley attaclcs the business problems of life as vigorously as he did his Shakespearean noteboolc, he will arrive at and preside in the hall of fame. A. A.g Sec. L. Sq B. C., Pt. of H. 3. MARY ELIZABETH BOWERS . A liille learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or loucl1 nol the Pierian Spring. Elizabeth heartily follows Pope's advice for she drinks deep into learning with comparative ease, and has never had to take an Exam until it was forced upon her in the Senior Year. Beth plays the piano well, and has plenty of time to take and teach music aside from her school work. We wonder how she does this. And she finds time for some other diversion, loo, for we notice that she wears calmly a S. H. S. pin rather than an R. H. S. She is ' full of fun and her mother enjoys the greater part of her humor, for she often says, Oh! Mother thinks I'm awful. Elizabeth is undecided as to the future, and we can hardly go so far as to forecast her occu- pation. ? ? ? Lit. Ed. 'I7 ACORNS.
