JOSEPH ADAMS: Joe's the lucky boyi For who manages to skip as many classes as he? KERMIT ALVERSON: Here is the boy whose lessons. we fear, do not worry him half as much as one fair Senior. HENRY ASKEW: Henry, we might say, is trying to solve the problem as to whether he has the ability of orating or not. We think that UOur Own Henry may be America's next HPatriek. JACK BROWN: HSuch beautiful curls. you say? Hush! Scandal whispers that they occupy most of his time. ALLEYNE BOYLE: Were it not for Alleyne the Seniors would surely be lost. Her mimicry and drollery have endeared her to all of us. EVELYN BROWN: Behold our little Gypsy: She hopes to grow some day. But we do not share her wish for we love her just as she is. JENNIE V. BREAZEALE: Jennie V.'s only regret is her inability to giggle in Mr. Lewis's class as she did in Mr. Bell's. Fifteen IJANSY BUGG: Pansy, with her willing heart and friendly smile, can be depended on to do her level besti RANDOLPH COCHRAN: Hope still lives in HDoIph's heart that he will convince us some day that he has a girl somewhere. NELL COLE: Pretty and modest. sweet and gay, bright and jolly is Nell, Hour little girl. MARTHA CARMICHAEL: Martha lives by the old adage, HLittIe people should be seen and not heard.

We hear that her highest ambition is to keep down to Hsummer weight. HAZEL CATO: Hazel is a great lover of travel and adventure. We think her highest hope is to cross the Canadian border. KATHERINE DAMON: HRed, our Editor-in-Chief. finds difEculty in finding time to do everything that Hjust has to be done ; but the class owes a lot to her pep and enthusiasm. MATTIE DAVIS: Mattie is diligently studying so that some day she may become an expert veterinarian. In the meantime she is making and keeping scores of friends. Puml NiJ-Im'u JEWELL DELOACH: Judy. we feel sure. will continue to exercise to the limit her every privilege. NINA EIDSON: This fair blond is deeply interested, we think. in one of our football stars. despite her disregard of his pleading glances. RUBY GRIFFIN: Ruby is ever ready to do her part in everything, and her friendly Ways have won many friends. ROY GOEN: Who could help loving this irresponsible, fun-loving. mischievous youth? We trust future cares will bear as lightly on his shoulders as those of school.

Paw Screutocn LUCILE JONES: The Physics Class wishes Lucile great success in her effort to find her 'Jack to Physics. ELIZABETH MATTHEWS: Elizabethis chief occupation is keeping her hair curled. The results, however, justify the effort and the time spent. SALLIE PEARL MCDANIEL: USitting in the Corner is Sallie Pearl's favorite tune: it is especially fitting to sing it for her during Spanish class. LEROY MCKIBBEN: Meet HSonny Boy, the history star. It is rumored that this young gentleman makes a lengthy trip to Fairburn every moonlight night. MABEL NOLAN: Ambitious! We should say so, for she hopes to become a teacher of foreign language in her Alma Mater. LUCILE OWENS: Lucile. an expert diver in her studies, will have no difficulty in diving deeply into the worth while things of life. CLYDE PATTERSON, Treasurer: With her ability and perseverance, we may safely say that Clyde will some day realize hcr ambition of dancing with John Gilbert. LOUISE PERRY: Louiseis chief characteristic is her ability to eat in most any teacher's period. Among her favorite menus we find grapes, both fresh and dried. Puyc Emil H7011 Paw GRACE PINYAN: Grace has often delighted us with her sweet music on the guitar, accompanied by her charming voice. We predict for her a brilliant future in the musical world. SALLIE RAMAGE: Sallie's enthusiasm has done much for girls' athletics in our school, and besides her Hrep in baskCt-ball. she possesses a score of friends.

She plays well the piano, the violin, the saxophone. .Viuctm'n FRANK SUTTLES: Frank's hobby is cutting classes; his chief retreat, the halls. Hunt him there, and avoid searching elsewhere, JOHN SUTTLES: HJOhnny astounds all of us with his iiunusual vocabulary. The class wonders what the source of his supply is. MYRA THOMPSON: Myra is a true friend and a loyal classmate. As center of the girls. basket-ball team, we agree with Mr. Lewis that she can't be beat. RUTH WOOTEN: HBreezy possesses great musical talent. Without her the Glee Club and the Orchestra would not be complete. GEORGE WILKIE: George is quiet: but Hstill water runs deep, and this is certainly true of George. JAMES YARBROUGH: James has various ambitions. He will doubtless settle on one and obtain Hher. RAYMOND YOUMANS: Captain Youmans has deftly guided us through the mazes of a football season and has, moreover, straightened out many a history tangle for his history class. LESLIE YEAST: Leslie. though accused of being clumsy, usually ngts there. whether it be in athletic 0r scholastic work. Puuc 'I'H'HI t1; lmyr Clam H ivory AN is ever a dual creature: he is not only a dreamer of dreams. but a doer of deeds. His dreams are revealed in his acts. As he acts, his vision broadens; and his greater dreams lead him to greater deeds. To know him, therefore, the man of any age, we must search history, for history records his deeds and his progress. When we read a history of the earliest men in Europe we learn that they were rough savages, shivering in caves and woods, fighting tooth and nail With fierce animals like the mammoth and cave bear; now starving wretchedly for days; now cramming their stomachs in savage feasting upon some slain beast. But, ignorant and fierce as these shaggy cave men were, they dreamed dreams and performed deeds, they did not stand still. It has been so with every age and people, even to this good time. It is true of this graduating class of 1928, and to understand them we must read their history, a record of their deeds and progress. In September, 1924, we entered high school as Freshmen, but like the cave men of long ago, we were not content to stand still. We enjoyed being Freshmen because of the new duties that stood out in front of us. However. we felt a Hcreepy feeling when all the Sophs, Juniors and Seniors cast one of those horrible HI'm-biggerathan-you looks at us, for even though we were not initiated, we always tried to get out of sight when those Hbigger things approached us. This aweninspiring greatness aroused in us the ambition to master our studies in order to attain the much envied and coveted title of HSenior. As time passed, some of our beloved classmates dropped out along the way, for various reasons, but we continued our progress and pushed on through the Sophomore year, as a soldier pushes through any battle. When the Junior year was reached, we realized that the third rung of the HHigh School Ladder had been attained. NOW, at the end, as a reward for our effort, we have gained admission to our present classethe most coveted of allaand dearer to us than all the restathe Senior. At times we have been discouraged and downhearted, but now all discouragement is gone, and we are looking to the future for all con- tentrnent. To quote Jerome K. JeromeeuEverything looms pleasant through the softening haze of time. Even the sadness that is past seems sweet. 'I'xrvn inwm' Our childhood days look very merry to us now, all nutting, hoop and gingerbread. The snubbings and toothaches and Latin verbs are all for- gotten-the Latin verbs especially. 'lYes, it is the brightness, not the darkness, that we see when we look back. The sunshine casts n0 shadows on the past. The road that we have traversed stretches very far behind us. We see not the sharp stones. We dwell but on the roses by the wayside, and the strong briars that pricked us are, to our distant eyes, but gentle tendrils waving in the wind. God be thanked that it is seethat the ever-lengthening chain of memory has only pleasant links, and that the bitterness and sorrow of today are smiled at on the morrow. Bravely have we tackled each task set before us during these past four years and we have ended our journey as W-l-NeN-EeR-S. We wish to express our appreciation to the Faculty, Board of Educa- tion, and our Principal, for putting forth their best effort in helping us acquire an education. As a sad feeling creeps over the historianls heart and tears come to her eyes, she lays down her pen and leaves some things untold. aELIZABETH MATTHEWS.

Paar Tlt't'llfjkfvllr Clam W 2'11 E, the class of 1928, having traversed the long path through our high school days, and feeling the end to be drawing near, yet being in possession of all our faculties, and in our right minds, do hereby bequeath on this 3rd day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-eight, our most cherished possessions to those we leave behind us: Item I.

Puyc I'u euf u70iyllt 11237073; 0 f the jammy N the early fall of 1927, Mr. Stephens and Miss Horne decided to take a trip to the Land of Seniors, and to take with them, free of charge, the passengers from Tenth HA and Tenth B They obtained means of transportation in the Russell High Speedster from the Supervisor, James T. McGee. For the hrst few weeks they were speeding along rejoicingly. So far the roads had been good. This was too good to last. They came to a road that was full of Faculty Bumps, which made them slow down. Their journey was not a path of roses as they had anticipated. On they struggled for two months until they came to the Hill of Examinations, where they broke down. They discovered that various parts of Spanish, Literature, Biology, History, Shorthand, Typewriting, Caesar and Spelling needed repairing. Geometry was almost a wreck. These parts were worked upon for a week, and then came the day to determine if they were in good condition. As everything was found to be mended, they continued their journey. Their next stop was at a little Spanish Village where they were received royally. Since they were entertained so well here, they were grieved to leave this land of dreams. They continued their journey until they reached the city of Literary Society. Here they were addressed by well known speakers and orators from Page Thirty PIIUU all over the State Soon after their departure from the city of Literary Society, they could faintly see a small object that was in their path. In their rush to obtain the knowledge of what was present, they rode close to the edge of a cliff. Below, the ground was covered with Freshmen and Sophomores who had to climb to the top of the cliff in order to become Juniors. Oh, the thought of it was terrible! After a few minutes of deep thought they backed away from the edge for fear that they might tumble over. They thought again of the object they were seeking and continued their rush toward it. As luck would have it, they crashed into a wall, known as Christmas. It was decided that they needed a rest, so they were given a week for a holiday. As soon as their vacation was over, they were on their way to that unknown object. As they came nearer the object loomed larger and larger until, alas they found themselves face to face With the Mountain of Mid-Term Examinations, better known as the Mountain of Difficulty. Had they but known the termina- tion of their journeyl However, by continuous hard labor, they managed to pass this huge ridge. They next passed into the Forest of Doubt. There was still a possibility of a Hbreak-down because some of the parts were about to fall down But fate was with them and everything ended all right. Oh, what a relief! They went on, occasionally meeting a test stump, until they arrived at the River of Dignity. While crossing the bridge that spans this river, the bridge gave way, but even then they floated safely to the Land of Seniors their goal, at last, reached. --LOUISE MILLER. 29. Th U'TH-IIII v ii Our Walkers, , Only a mother with a weary, tired face. Fighting our battles in the daily race, Working for us not for gold or fame, Just teaching us how to play lifels game. Always smiling and happy, never a whimper of pain. Hiding the hardships she bears not in vain. Only a mother with a family of three, Just one little woman so lovely to me; Patient. and brave. just a mother's own way, Toiling and striving from day to day; Silent whenever the harsh condemn. And bearing it all for the love of them. Only a mother with a heart of pure gold, Giving her all which is one-half untold. Death was near, agony hers when she bore us. Bull bravely she faced it, in God was her trust. Oh, years, we've been heedless and often tired her: But love was her guide, she was ever so tender. Only a mother who is wrinkled and grey.

Iwm' ll'llirfy-ilro $$ S w $$ $ x, sztory offhe Sophomorex N the year one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-six, we, the Soph- omores of i27, entered Russell High School as Freshmen. As this was our first year in high school, the higher classes ex- pected us to be rather ngeen, but we were an enthusiastic and enterprising little crowd, and as we became adjusted to our surroundings, we upset their expectations by starting out to do our best. Many proved to be fine Latin scholars by getting their names on the Latin uA r011. We became very much interested in our work and won the P. T. A. banner all the year. We also had a representative who won third place in the Declamation contest at the Fifth District Meet. As we entered our Sophomore year we were divided into the Latin and Commercial sections. But this did not seem to interfere with our work. Page 'I'hirty-fuur We took a great part in the activities of our school, having many of the Sophomores chosen as football and basket-ball players on the teams of the seasons. This they enjoyed, and we are sure they were amply rewarded. As the campaign for the POINTER came on, we were unwilling to let the other classes surpass us in anything, and under the supervision of our wonderful teachers we were one hundred per cent. loyal to its support. And thus the history of the Sophomores comes to a close. As others who have gone before us and have done great things, we, also, hope to be of great service to the Russell High School of East Point in the future. e-VESTA CHAMBERS, '30.

We were disappointed to find that we were to be divided into Latin and Science classest There are sixty-fwe Latin pupils and flfty-four Science pupils. All pupils making HA in Latin are allowed to join the Latin HA Club. Only eight represent the Freshman class but we are sure of more in the future. The HBetter English Club meets every Friday under the direction of our English teacher, Miss Pendergrass. During the week we collect all the English mistakes that are made and read them at the meeting, Page 'I'hirfy-Piylzt The campaign for the POINTER came on. We werenht willing for the Sophs to get ahead of us so we got busy and soon all classes were one hundred per cent. Thus the history of the Freshmen draws to a close and as we go through Russell, we hope to accomplish great things and have high hopes for the future. eHILDA COCHRAN, 31. Pugv Thirty-umc s SCENES CAMPU Forty Page Athlptim M. C. BISHOP Coach Bishop came to us just this year but it is through him that Russell High has been benefited by new activities. He did wonders with the football and basket-ball squads. With the least saidahe is an excellent coach with his pep and enthusiasm, his speed and agility, his leadership and ability. GLADYS MCWHORTER Gladys was an inspiration not only to the team as a whole but to each member of the team individually. She was exceedingly faithful all through the season. J. G. LEWIS Coach Lewis gave his time and experience to the girls' basket-ball team. Their prowess on the court was a reflection of his own speed, cunning, accuratee ness, and quick-thinking. The girls proclaim him a llprince, the school l'a regular coach. Puyc Forty-four JACKSON, STITH, MELTON, STEPHENS GOEN. ADAMS, YEAST, YOUMANs, ALVERSON, SUTTLES, WILKES JACKSON GOEN STEPHENS.

Center To i'Lefty goes the honor of leading the most successful football team Russell High has ever had. Few gains were made through center because HLefty was there with his Hdo or die spirit. The team owes much to his leadership ability. ROY GOEN, End, Half Roy played end and half and played a steady game at both. He was one of the hardest tacklers on the teami He is lost to the team by graduation. M. D. JACKSON, Half M D. was one of the two Freshmen 0n the team. What he lost in size be made up in grit. Jackson has three more years to develop himself into 21 Grange II. HORACE STEPHENS, Quarterback Horace was the most persistent gainer on the team. His field generalship pulled the team out of many tight places Horace will be back next year. PASKERT MELTON, Halfback HPat alternated with Hammond at Hbooting the ball't and played a t'jam-up game at half. HPat was the source of many brilliant tackles. He will be with the team again next year. FRANK SUTTLES, Tackle HTubby was a part of Russell's great line. He blocked the plays of the opposing team before they were under way. This is HTubby's last year. RALPH LEWIS, Sub. HRed was a valuable player this year and promises to be a real Hgo-getter for the Yellow and White next year. REUBEN SALTER, Sub. Reuben, a newcomer to our team, won dis- tinction and glory by his playing. It was because of his light Weight that he was not with the regulars. Page FUFTH-siJ? WILLIE WILKES, Left End Dad-gum was a hard player, He proved his real worth at Douglasville. l'Dad-gum has one more year at R. H. S. and will be a great asset to next year's team. JOHN SUTTLES, Sub. Johnny was one of our hardest players' always dependable. always iithere. His high tackling has won him his reputation as having a loving nature. EDWARD COLLINS, Sub. i'Ed, our diminutive end, was one of the hardest tacklers R. H. S. had. Although he was so small, it was impossible to overlook him when it came to blocking the opposite teami He promises to be a great football player in his remaining years at school. JOSEPH ADAMS, Tackle Joe was a good, steady, dependable player. On the offense, he opened wide holes for our backs to sweep through. This is his last year with the team. LESLIE YEAST, Guard hSheik was a stone wall when it came to playing his position at guard. He played end in a few games and proved a sensation. HSheikl' leaves us this year. KERMIT ALVERSON. Guard Kermit was reliable and steady throughout the entire season. He has been of unsurpassable value this year and his loss to the team will be felt next year. HAMMOND STITH. Fullback i'Ham did a great deal of the punting for Russell. His punts averaged about 40 yards. When two or three yards were needed, Ham- mond always delivered. He will be back with us next year.

Not only was the team in good condition this year, but there was a new, well-Iaid-out athletic field for them to play on, and a new grandstand for spectators to watch their plays. The time came to try out their mettle when they played Marietta in their first game. To say the least, they gave a good account of themselves. And so on down the line, at each game they fought hard and they fought clean. Game after game was played'but the indominant spirit of the boys was never daunted; each played a hard and steady game. Nor was the school ungrateful for this wonderful spirit and grit. They stood loyally behind the boys and the crowds were always an inspiration to the team. Win or lose the student body remained proud of and intensely interested in their Heleven. We can but feel that this co-operation of the school was a great factor in the success of the boys, At the end of the season, the Seniors gave the squad, coaches and faculty a brilliant banquet. The boys took advantage of the occasion to elect Horace Stephens as neXt year's Captain, and M. D. Jackson, Alternate Captain. The school wishes next year's team as great a success with Stephens as Captain, as Captain Youmans and his iieleven had this year. May the Yellow and White ever be Victorious!

This being the flrst year of basket-ball at Russell, our boys were somewhat raw at the beginning of the season but as they had more practice they developed great swiftness and accuracy. They became in a word, a team in which R. H. 8. might take pride, 3 team which caused fear in the hearts of their opponents. Lightning speed coupled with quick execution was the cause of many of their Victories. With these hard fighting, high spirited men, R. H. S. may well expect high honors!

Both teams have given good accounts of themselves; both have bowed to no team in grit and determination; both have won games. To the girlsT team, however, belongs the greater measure of glory. In them was developed at an early stage a good, smoothly working machine. After a week's practice, they won their first game, and later on in the season defeated the hitherto unconquered Patillo Memorial girls' team. The splendid development of our teams has been one of the out- standing accomplishments in the school during the year. The teams have gotten a great deal of pleasure in entertaining Visiting teams and in being entertained by them.

Mr. Owens acted as manager and assisted the boys to a great extent. But they were forced to go through the season without any coaching, entering the prep league against better prepared teams. Since they overcame such great odds they are to be congratulated for their great success on the field. WHEELER BAILEY ROBERT JONES JOE LANDRUM M. D.

It is composed of the students who have been fortunate enough to make A in Latin. The purpose of the Club is to arouse greater interest in the study of Latin, and thus inspire the pupils to greater effort. Songs, plays and other features make up the programs of the Club. Occasionally there is a social event, such as a Wiener roast. The creed of the Club sets forth in no uncertain terms its unwavering belief in the value of the study of Latin. The motto is NVem', uidi, vici. and the song Adeste Fideles? The ofhcers of the Club are those Who have made the highest averages in Latin in the different classes, and they are rotated each quarter. For the first quarter, the President comes from the Senior class: the Vice-President, from the Junior; the Secretary, from the Sophomore; the Treasurer and Librarian, from the Freshman.

This year the members have enjoyed a series of interesting lecture courses. The first was conducted by Mr. Whitehead, Who for fourteen years has been connected With the English Department of Candler College, Havana, Cuba. Mr. Whitehead brought to the class many interesting accounts of the customs of the country. This year the Spanish Department adopted a standard pin, Which is very pretty and serviceable.

Newspaper study is a prominent item of interest as well as map study and biographies. Miss Colquitt, Who directs the Spanish Department, plans that there shall be social features, as well as work. Frequently, games are enjoyed and plays are given. At the Junior party the guests Were in costume and the Spanish idea was carried out in the entertainment and refreshments.

The student body is unusually proud of such a faculty, Which makes us proud, in turn, to be students under the supervision of such an extraordinary group of teachers. The student body as a whole and especially the Senior class and the foot- ball team wish to take this means of expressing their grateful appreciation for this wonderfully successful effort Which made possible the paying of our athletic debts, incurred in the purchase of equipment for Russell High's football team, which placed them on an equal footing With any of their own opponents and enabled them to bring home the i'bacon.
