MINNIE LEE WINSTEAD ““A face with gladness ever spread, Soft smiles by human kindness bred” Minnie Lee’s gentle manner has no doubt won for her many friends. She has al- so become very studious and we are sure she will reach her goal. Though very pretty, she has the unusual faculty of not thinking so herself, but leaves it to other people to do the thinking. MARY LOU WINSTEAD “She is as good as the best of them” Mary Lou came to us asa stranger in the ninth grade. Because we did not know her we though of her as a quiet girl who never wanted to join in any fun, but wanted to study all the time. We have been with her for three years, and now find her a good friend, ready for fun and glad to join in all good sport. 20

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

JULIA FRANCES YANCEY “In every rank, great or small, Tis industry that supports us all” Yes, Julia always performs her duty. She made a faithful student and will certain- ly succeed, because labor never loses its re- ward. Now, don’t think she is too serious, for she has always taken part in outside ac- tives of the school and made good. She has also the ability to appreciate the humorous side of life, and even likes to sit with other students “to study.” Pat is.) Sia ot tel A er OUR CLASS Our Class in number is seventeen, With as fine a teacher as ever was seen. Beth is a girl, who is full of fun, And Willies motto is “lesson’s well done. We all know Hallie, who loves to read, And Bessie, who does not believe in speed. Giles has the easiest course of us all, And Julia is studious, quick and tall. Argument, for Robert Burch is sport, While on spelling Robert Long is short. Willie Hall’s in a constant rush, And Mary Lou can assuredly blush. His firm foundation is Samuel’s pride, While Clarence loves in a Ford to ride. But speaking of Jewels, Nannie’s a “pearl”, And Isabel’s a good old musical girl. Minnie Lee is expert in dressing hair, While Ethel, a senior, can fall from a chair. Last of all is a girl named Nell, Less said the better so “Fare Thee Well”. —NELLIE B. WOODS. ES ee ne, ee EAN
