Marcaret Louise WILBURN Blessed with, beauty, talent, and a keen sense of humor, Louise has the most lovable personality in the class. O.1e would suppose that she is dignified but her friends know her to be always on hand when there is any fun afoot. In everyday words Louise is the “cat’s whiskers,’ and we wish for her the best of luck all through life. She is our Art Editor and we are very fortunate to have her, “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, an ex- cellent thing in woman.” lo YZ DWIN Fe R= 25-R Re Ss — EBERMAN VR xt Addis VIRGINIA CAROLINA WILKERSON It is said that large people are good na- tured and we believe it, for Virginia usually has a number of ups and downs—to hear her tell it—and still is in a good humor most of the time. The fact that she has only re- cently bobbed her hair gives us reason to think that she thinks a long time before jumping at conclusions. She is a truly do- mestic girl, perhaps her ability along this line is one of the factors that causes her to be attractive to the opposite sex. “T had rather have a fool to make me merry, than experience to make me sad.” Failed to do work sufficient for graduation.

ZZAAAFT 7 Z EUGENE GRAHAM THOMPSON “Gene” has worked untiringly as Business Manager of the Rocket, and to him much credit is due. He also has shown that busi- ness is not the only channel in which his talents le. He has proved that he can hold an audience spell-bound by is ability to speak fluently and to the point. Full of energ y and pep, Eugene keeps things astir wherever he is. “None but himself can be his parallel.” | Page Twenty-four | Pa ae — cL g SATA Z eee Z ar eS =EDwin =23-2e. BERMAN R Ratsene LorENA BELL WADE We have a versatile class, haven’t we? Lorena is one of the musical units. Of what good are musical fingers without a musical inside? Lorena has both, as we have found out. She can make good grades and she can play the piano. What more could one ask? “Precious articles are incased in small pack- ages,’ has often been said and it is not con- trary to custom in this personality. “But God has a few of us to whom He whispers in the ear, The rest may reason and welcome; °Tis we musicians know.”

ZZ] POLLY WALKER The name is suggestive of a little, fun- loving, black-eyed girl and this proves true in the case of our Polly. When she comes into the school room with her sparkling eyes we know that we are in store for something funny, but Polly can be serious as well as gay if occasion demands it. She is the class pet, always ready for fun but with all her love of fun, “the best old girl ever.” “Youth at the prow, and Pleasure at the helm,” Did not take work for graduation. | Page Twenty-six | “2-23-Ree Vee EDWIN a EBERMAN VR — JoHN Epwarp YANCEY “Primp” is a handy man around the school. As he naturally understands ma- chinery, when things go wrong John is al- ways called upon to fix them. But his fixing ability is just one of his many talents and he is just as smart in books as he is in prac- tical things. He makes friends and we know if he is so successful early in life, he will be later on, so we are wishing him all the good luck there is in life. “The most certain sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness.” :
