1919 QIZUEHS of 1308110 MILDRED LEE JETT . Far may ive search before we find A heart so gentle and so kind. Mildred is a quiet, easy-going, never worrying person. During her four years within the portals of old R. H. S. she has won many friends with her keen wit, her good-natured smile and her ability to mix and with it all she is very popular. Her motto through high school has been Ambition, the secret of success and by the reports of the Faculty Mildred has lived up to her motto. Mildred has not said what she expects to do after leaving high school but having been a consistent worlcer with a clear head and cheerful disposition she is certain to continue this success through life. Mildred, the whole Class of 'I9 join 'in wishing you good luck through life. A. A.: G. C.: R. C. VASCO ROOSEVELT PARRACK Good nalure and good sense are usually good companions. This is Vasco all over for by his diligence and perseverance he has reached his set goal 'in three and a half years. I-le is one of the very quiet and good-natured members of our class and we know very little of his personality for Vasco spends all of his time in studying because he is just naturally a star in every class. Vasco has not taken an active part in athletics but he never fails to appear at all the games and yell-why one would think Gabriel had turned loose his entire troupe. When we look over Vasco's high school record we know that success awaits him. Although we do not: know what he will do in later years, this should not cause any one any fear for Vasco is perfectly capable of taking care of himself. A. A.: R. C.: L. S. . HAZEL LEE. JEFFRIES As merry as the clay is lang. Here's to Hazel,- a girl loved by. all her schoolmates through her four-years' high school career. She has one of the sunniest dispositions of any member of our class and is noted for her willingness to help others. If she has a temper we don't lcnow it because she always has a smile for us. She's a good sport, full of mischief and ready to follow suit when her companions propose any kind of frolic. We do not know what she intends to do after leaving school but we do know that whatever it is her determination will make her succeed. So we bid her farewell, with our heartiest good wishes as she goes out into the world. A. A.: R. C.: G. C.

013115 Df IB.UH11Ult2 1919 LAURA LEANDER HARDY Her air, her manner, all who san: admired, Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired. To lcnow her is to love her and so Laura has a large circle of friends both in and out of R. H. S. She is a true friend to every one. What more beautiful could be said? For a friend is the most valu- able thing in the world. Laura is always ready for a good time and lots of fun, and when a dance or social is given she is right there. Patience is also one of l..aura's virtues or how could she sit and type- write and do ollice practice as she does when she knows she will not use it? Yes, certainly it's the Service Whatever she may under- take, however, we wish her success-and happiness. A. A.: R. C.: Clerical Manager ACORNS 'l9. CARROL BERNARD NEBLETTE Strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and nal to yield. Carrol is one of the literary geniuses of our class. Guided by his master mind and his large share of intellect he has climbed high into the Realms of Learning. He is full of buoyant enthusiasm and like Browning possesses courage and will power and is one who never turns his baclc, but marches breast forward. On account of his executive ability and literary qualities he has held many places of honor in R. H. S. Carrol's favorite subjects are History and Litera- ture but he masters all of them, and is tinishing high school in three and a half years. Carrol is full of ambitions and aspirations, and guided by the Muses of Art we predict for him a brilliant career, full of honor and glory and a high place in the hearts of all. V. P.

MARGARET WALLACE JETT Har step is light, Her eyes are bright, Her laughter cheers the world. l-lereis to Margaret!-One of the most attractive members of our class. We all love her and how can we help it-for few have the sweet disposition and attractive personality that she has. Margaret is very unsellish and is always ready and willing to help others. She is popular not only in school but in the outside world as well. Out of school Margaret spends a great deal of her time flying around in a big Cadillac. Peggy has many talents but her chief one is playing the piano. She expects to enter Peabody Conservatory and continue the study of music and we're sure that she will become a great genius some day.

urns Elf IKUHTIIJKIZ 1919 CLAUDINE PETTY KESLER So well to lfnow her own That what she will to clo or say Seems wisest, virluousest, aliscreelest, best. This Tiny dear is the truest of all little friends. It she has a favorite in the Senior Class we do not know who it is for Deanie shows interest in each of us and greets all in the same afliable manner. Although Claudine is small in stature, she is great in mind. Her capacity for memorizing surpasses any in our class: her ability for debating is remarkable and she won the State Championship in read- ing. Whatever Claudine undertakes she puts her whole heart into it, thereby assuring success. How could the 'Nineteen Class have published an annual without the judgment and guidance of our little English star? 'Tis upon the top round of the Ladder of Life that we see our beloved classmate for Success in the best is her motto. S. C.g R. C.g A. A.: M. W. l... S.3 Ci. C.: Lit. C.g V. P. M. W. L. 5. 't8g Pres.

Buck has been with us since we began as a class and the longer he is with us the higher he rises in our regard and the more he accom- plishes. Now Buck is really about the best Uaccomplisher there is. A regular wizard in financial affairs. It is he who has conducted this volume of ACORNS and several athletic teams through their financial troubles. But Buck's abilities do not stop here for he himself is one of the shining lights in the Baseball world of our school. And as a dancer-does more to keep up the Terpsicliarean art than any other person in school. In this short space we cannot really begin to tell of our appreciation of Buck, for to really appreciate him you must know him as he can only be excelled by himself. We all unite in wishing him the greatest success for in Buck you have hard, practical common sense rolled in with a sunny, good-natured disposition and what more could be desired in the making of a man?

Beholdt Whom have we here? Mabel, small in stature but in ability, in the opinion of her classmates, anything but small. A smiling countenance and a cheerful dispositionare ever to be associated with her. Mabel is kind and always considerate of others. She has won the high esteem of the Faculty as well as of her classmates. When she wrings her hands and fNashj es her teeth the whole Shakespeare class is stirred with her portrayal of Katherine And with it all she is a fine, true and lovable girl who is always ready to lend a helping hand. Mabel hasn't said what she expects to do after leaving high school but from all reports I think we shall find her next fall in a Westem University. Good luck to you, Mabel, and may they learn to think as much of you there as we do here. A. A.g Alumni Editor 'I9 ACORNSQ G. C.g R. C.
