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

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

Ada Well Meacham I ' ll make a commotion in every place I go. Basketball (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4) ; President of Athletic Association. What would the class do without our Jolly Punk? Her cheerful laugh is more contagious than chicken-pox, and even the pessimist could not be free from exposure in her presence. She has been with us only three years, but is one of the most popular girls of the class. Sakah Caroline Parkish Take everyhody ' s advice, then do as you please. Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4). One of the most athletic girls in the class is Carrie. No one can be more studious than she when she so desires, and no one can be more indifferent and independent when she .»o desires. Her personality has won for her a host of friends. Pauline Rowena Rand AmMtion makes geniuses. Dramatic Club (4). Tee-hee, late again, went to .see Rudolph Valentino la.st night and sat up late. Although Pauline giggles as much as she talks about the movie stars we know that she has a heart that is generous and that she truly wants to succeed. Lucy Augusta Rhodes Her voice was ever gentle and low; an ex- cellent thing in woman. Glee Club (1), (2); Dramatic Club (4). With calmness as a background Lucy ' s charming per- sonality and winning smile help form many friendships. As she mingles with her school chums these particular traits stand out and she is loved by all. Henry Estil Royall The boy who works while the next one shirks. Glee Club (2), (3), (4); President of class (3); The Eagle staff. Our expectations of Henry are no less than a professor at Yale or Harvard. At times we are tempted to be- lieve that he outstrips Webster in the use of the dictionary. A true friend, a loyal supporter, and absolutely girl- proof is Henry. Page Twenty-onk
