HALLIE VERNON PUGH “Her air, her manner, all who saw admired, courteous tho’ coy, gentle tho’ retired” Hallie carries the heaviest course in the senior class, but she always does her work well. She is never too busy tho’ that she doesn’t find time to read a good nov- el. Give her an interesting book, an easy latin lesson and she is contented. Capable, dependable, true as steel—what more need be said? NANNIE PEARL PERKINS “A peaceful mind by which good deeds are done” Nannie is one of the most friendly girls of our class. She does not make a big differ- ence in some of the class then ignoring others. She is always glad to help anyone if she can, and does it willingly. We may tease her as much as we like, still we find her the same good natured Nannie Pearl. 18

GILES MEBANE McCRARY “Things of greatest value are done up in smallest packages” “A Giles of all trades”, good bluffer; looks most intelligent when he knows the least. He isa great bragger over his three lessons a day, but is always cheerful and ready with a bigger yarn than the one last told, WALTER CLARENCE OWEN “Men of few words are best” Clarence knows that in school one should be seen and not heard, and so he takes his spare time to study. Clarence is study- ing when the other boys are playing and talking, and does not come to recitation un- prepared as most boys do. We have always known Clarence was a good fellow. 17

ISABEL de VLAMING ‘She is intellectual, and attractive too, If you are with her you can’t be blue” Isabel is a good old sport. She believ- es in taking up everything that is worth while and nothing ever comes up in school but what she is willing to do her part. Isabel has a very lovable disposition, and is always ready to help one out of a difficulty. She is a true musician, and brightens many dark rays by her touch on the piano. We do not know what Isabel is going to do in life, but we do know whatever she does, it will be done well. NELLIE BIRD WOODS “Of surpassing beauty and in the bloom of youth” Nellie Bird is the youngest member of her class, yet itis her leadership the class follows for she is our class president. A sweeter or better disposition is seldom found. To have her friendship is a prize sought by many. Her work throughout high school has been excellent. Her conduct above reproach. Her attendance perfect. Would that we had more such girls. 19
