©nocont n©non©n( vppap r? 1 » JAMES PALMER STOVER PH CENIX LITERARY SOCIETY • “Who can foretell for zvhat high cause This darling of the gods zvas horn?” Football ’24, Hi Y Club. Palmer is the Beau Brummel of the Senior Class. As Shakespeare or somebody said—Contented with bis “Lot” he is not “Abel” to raise “Cain.” With Palmer go our best wishes for a successful future. MARY LOUISE TIMBERLAKE “Weese” l’HCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “O, could you view the melody Of every grace, And music of her face.” Exchange Editor Record ’25-’26, Leeway Staff, Class Valedictorian. “Weese” has gone blissfully through her four years of high school and captured the highest marks in all her classes. It must be truthfully said, however, that along with her smartness she hasn’t for a minute lost her popularity, especially with the opposite sex. She has the rare combination of good looks and intelligence and we value her as one of the best treasures of the class of ’26. M |M I Ml i ' U i

MARTHA STUART MERRIKEN “Tishie” PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other maidens are.” Class salutatorian. “Tis hie” combines a happy disposition with an active mind in her school work. She is one of the best dress¬ ed girls in our class. Martha stands high in all of her classes and has quite a drag with one of the male members of the faculty. JOHN EDWARD RUTHERFORD “Preacher” “Worth, courage, honor, these indeed Your sustenance and birthright are.” John gets letters in all languages, and it is a great trial to him to have to find someone to translate them to him. His hobbies are girls and Fords. We sur¬ render our “Preacher” to V. P. I. May his crops be as successful as he has been. INDIA MAY SLUSSER PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “So mild, so merciful, so strong, so good — So patient, peaceful, loyal, loving, pure.” Although May is extremely quiet she is one of the dependable members of the class. She is always will¬ ing to oblige anyone and we are sure she will carve her niche in the world in spite of her modesty.

JOHN MAXWELL WHITE “Whitey” “The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.” Football ’25, Basketball ’25-’26, Baseball ’26, Hi Y Club. John is a newcomer into our midst this year, but he has already won a secure place in the hearts of his fellow classmates. John’s musical laugh is well known all over S. H. S. With sorrow we bid K. W.’s cave¬ man goodbye! ROHES WOODBURY “Woody” PHCENIX LITERARY SOCIETY “Some shout him, and some hang upon liis car To gaze in his eyes and bless him.” President Junior Class ’25, President Senior Class ’2o. “Woody’s” popularity has made him president of two classes, while his continual good humor and cleverness have constantly added to his popularity. “Rastus” is a good friend of both classmates and faculty.
