Rose Grantham Another proof of the old adage that Precious things come in small packages. Glee Club (3), (4); Coacb of Dramatic Club (4); Treasurer of Class (4) ; Girls ' Athletic Association. Rose has all the qualities of her namesalje besides many more. She is quiet and studious though not a book worm because she ' s always ready for any fun. She is inclined to be mischievous but is so innocent looking that she never gets caught. Rose is one of our most popular girls. !N oLiA Gertrtde Gtrly Laugh and the world laughes with you. Weej} and you weep alone. The Kahle Staff (4); Dramatic Club. Nolia is just a good all-round girl. She is a good student, but finds plenty of time for fun. She some- times seems to be the imp of Satin, but is only full of mischief. Her heart is as kind as it is mirthful. Edna May Hildebrand Her smiles show her happiness. Her friends, her popularity. The EA(iLE staff (4); Advertising manager of Draniatir Club (4). Edna is splendid. She is a good sport and enjoys everything. Slie wears a smile the whole day through. She is a lover of art and her artistic ability is .shown throughout our annual. , James Zachariah Hill Truth from his lips prevail with double sway. Basketball (2), (3); Baseball (2), (3); Glee Club (4); Dramatic Club (4). James is an all-round good natured boy. He, be.udes being Advertising Manager for The Eagle is one of our star basketball players. His droll way of e.xpress- ing himself is very amusing and he is well liked by all of us. Myra Kelly Hill For she is jes ' the quiet kind whose nature ' s never -vary, like streams that keep a summer mind, snow hid in January. Myra has very little to say but when she does speak it is worth listening to. She has red hair yet the red temper so often accompanying this is lacking in Myra. She has a keen sense of humor, a dependable nature, and a likeable disposition. Page Nineteen

Samuel Cornelius Booker He ' s little hut he ' s wise, He ' s a corher for his size. Well versed in Latin and Frencli, Sara ' s acliievements are unusual for a class baby. He is a hard worker but we sometimes fear tbat his hard work is stimulated by the success of his rival, Worth. Du NHAM Worth Boyette Although vanquished, he could argue still. Junior Basketball (3); Football (4); Basketball (4) • Baseball (4) ; Dramatic Club (4) ; President of Class (4); Honorary member of The Eagle Staff. Hats off to our president! He is a good natured boy and IS noted for beins very studious. Although he is rather frolicsome, to know him is 1o like him, and we feel sure he will stay in the memory of the class of ' 25 for years to come. John Mathew Cai dill ■■None hut himself can he his parallel. Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Baseball (4). John is an outstanding basketball star and equally as good a student and supporter of the class of ' 2.5. John is one of those per.sons of whom it may be truthfully said, the more you know of him, the better you like him. Lilly Beatrice Daughtery ■•She is gentle and kind, thoughtful in mind. The class of ' 25 is fortunate in having among its members several students of a calm and reserved nature. Lilly is one of these. She has been a good student, a lo. al companion, and a faithful worker. Her memory will ever linger in the hearts of her classmates and friends. Annie Leo Ennis She holds the eel of knowledge by the tail. ' ' Dramatic Club (4); Glee Club (4); Class Prophetess (4); Girls ' Athletic Association (4). Tf you wish to ( onverse in French or debate on historical events, go to Leo, but be prepared vo come away defeated. Her educational forts are strongly barricaded with argument, and are unconquerable. How- ever she realizes that books aren ' t all but that jokes have their part in life as is indicated by her nickname Joker. Page Eighteen

Arah Lucy Hooks As fair as a rose at dawn and on her lips there ' s ever a song. Vice-president of Class (4); Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); The Eagle staff, Treasurer of Girls ' Athletic Association (3); Dramatic Club (4). Kind, polite, and studious is she. We like her, we love her, for it ' s something we can ' t help. She ' s joyous, smiling, and always full of pep. Her only weakness is — V. M. I. Marjorie Ellsworth Johnston Gentleness, cheerfulness, and urbanity are the three graces of manner. Editor in chief of The Eagle; Dramatic Club (4); Glee Club (2), (3); Athletic Association (2), (4) ; Tennis Club (1). Marjorie is our literary genius and possesses a quaint charm all her own. If she had not won the prize in the short story contest we could have vouched for the tri- umph of her pen. We are indebted to her for her devotion to her class and for her marked ability as editor-in-chief of The Eagle. Mattie McGuire Lassiter Some say the world is made for fun and frolic, and so do I. President of Music Club (4); The Eagle staff; Glee Club (3), (4); Athletic Association (3), (4); Tennis Club (1). If a good time is in store, Mattie is there. She puts pep into everything and her heart and soul are in every- thing she undertakes as is shown by her success as Assistant Business Manager of The Eagle. WiLLARD Lawrence Men may rise on stepjnng stones, hut Willard will rise to higher things. Dramatic Club (4); Football (3), (4); Basketball (3), (4); Baseball (3), (4). Willard hails from California. He joined us in 1923, but one would think from his loyal support of his school and activities that he was a charter member of the class of ' 2.5. He ' s another famous argifiers, and so far has not been downed. Eli Lee Success comes to him who pays the price. When the class of ' 25 began their Senior pilgrimage, Eli embarked and joined his fate with ours. So far his ad- venture has proven succesful. He has a favorite sport — grinning. If a smile will go a long, long way, he will get there after awhile. Page Twentt
