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

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

' We are greatly in- debted to him for the successful management of our class business affairs. He is one of the most popular members of liis class and greatly liked by all. Irene Page Stevens there be. or ever -were, one such, ' tis past the size of dreaming. Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4); Secretary-Treasurer of Athletic Association (4), Be still one moment. Pokey, while we obtain one clear opinion of you. Pokey is a rare combination of pep, seriousness, fun and teasing. Whether it pertains to Ijawrence or to studies she is never-failing. She is just lierse ' .f, and that is why we love her. William Edwin Turnage Never do today what you can put off until next week. Dramatic Club (4); Track (3), (4). Look out may be repeated anywhere, and without turning you know it ' s Ed. He ' s not so different from other accomplished students, but his peculiar Southern drawl distinguishes him from other meiubei-s of his class. He faintly resembles a tortoise — slow but sure. Thomas Moore Watson Men may come and men may go. but I go on forever. Football (3), (4); Basketball (3). (4); Dramatic Club (4); The E. gle staff; Baseball (2), (3), (4). Thomas ' s athletic ability is shown by our making him athletic editor. If you want an opinion on any subject, ask Tom. Despite the fact that Tom is conceited we think that he will do everything that he thinks he can do. Pack Twenty-two
