EFFIE THELMA HULVEY PHOiNIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Character is as high as intellect — A great soul will he strong to live, as well as to think.” It is hard to express our appreciation of Thelma— a high standing in her classes and an unusual amount of common sense make her Miss Kinney’s “ideal girl”— pure, dependable and unselfish. HENRY JOHN HARDY “Softy” PHOiNIX LITERARY SOCIETY “The mildest manner, with the bravest mind.’ Assistant Business Manager Record ’24-25, Football 24. “Softy” came to us as a new years gift. We are going to give him a new Ford for a graduation present as he has worn out his old one climbing New Street Hill. May the girls and the gas last! ALICIA MARIA KIVLIGHAN “Jeta” PHOiNIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax, Her cheeks like the dawn of day.” Secretary Junior Class ' 24-’25, Record Typist ’24-’2S, School News Record ’25-’26, Basketball ’24-’25, Man¬ ager Basketball ’25-’26. “Jeta” is the prettiest, cutest, most attractive mem- er of the class of ’26. This combination alone shows what she has meant to our class. She has only been with us for two years but in that time she has done much for the class and the school. nl ImI 1 1 [I o: H nQqQnQn©nQaQn© ct i X

PAULINE ETTA GROSS PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Though lost to sight, to memory dear Thou ever wilt remain.” Pauline, gentle and refined, goes on her way, ever giving her best. Her sweet smile is welcome to those about her, and her earnest efforts in performing her duties deserve high praise. WILLIAM ANDERSON GLASGOW “Billy” PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY “A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the best of men.” Sergeant-at-Arms Philomathean Society ’24-’25, Pres¬ ident Philomathean Society ’25-’26, Joke Editor Record ’24-’25, Editor-in-Chief Record ’25-’26, Editor-in-Chief of first issue of The Leeway ’26, Vice-President of Class ’25-’26, Treasurer Hi Y Club ’25-’26. Real wit is a virtue and Billy’s is no imitation. Lazi¬ ness, wit, sportsmanship, literary ability and a good “drag” make Bill a “regular fellow.” We are sure that no matter what vocation he may choose he will succeed —for all his good qualities have made him successful as well as popular during his four years with us. To Washington and Lee we send our Billy. CORA BLANCHE HARRIS PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Nothing endures but personal qualities.” Blanche is one of the steady, dependable members of our class. She is small in size but makes up for it in intellect. ‘May the wonderful optimism (?) of the Senior Class follow you, Blanche, through the highways and byways of life.

RUTH FRANCES HARTMAN PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Forward and frolic, glee is here The will to do, the soul to dare.” A keen sense of humor, a happy disposition, and a rare ability to get along well with others have gained quite a large collection of friends for Ruth, even though she is only with us during two periods each day. We’re expecting great things of you, “Mat Spriggins !” ATWELL BAILEY HAINES “Ike” PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “To those who know thee not, no words can paint; And those that know thee know all words are faint.” President Phoenix Society ’25-’26, President Athletic Association ’25-’26, President Hi Y Club ’25-’26, Foot¬ ball ’24-’25, Basketball ’25, Captain Basketball ’26, Lee¬ way Staff ’26. “Ike” is our best all ’round. Skilled in athletics and faithful to his studies Atwell has gained honor for the school, fame for himself and popularity with us all. He stands high in the estimation of the teachers. We hope that “Bashful Bobbie” makes as many goals in life as he has in football and basketball. The college that gets Ike gets a double blessing. MARY HELEN HARRIS PH1L0MATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit.” Philomathean Reporter ’24-’25, ’25-’26. Mary Helen is the Junior Partner of the Class of ’26, but she makes up in friendliness, school-spirit and smartness what she lacks in size and age. She’s a government ‘officer’ and knows how to handle the ‘males.’ Mary Helen is willing to do anything for any¬ body, especially her ‘shadow’ (“Freckles.”)
