The Scribbler LILLIE MAE JACKSON “For my own part, I am well content.'’ Lillie Mae came to us in the fall of 1922 from the red hills of Cherokee, S. C. The day never grows too dark for Lillie Mae to have a bright and sunny smile for everyone. As a history student, there are few who can surpass her. Her accuracy and neatness of work have won for her a high standing in her class. Lillie Mae’s noble qualities and gentle disposition have won for her many friends. AILENE JOHNSON “He courteous to all, but intimate with fete, and let that few be zvcll chosen before you (jive them your confidence.” Ailene is one of those who can be content with their lot. She takes everything as it comes, and goes with a candor and silent simplicity that will ever he associated with her name. CHARLES JOHNSON “If girls interfere with your work— quit zoork.” It has been said that every man has some enemies, but “Stiens” is an exception to this rule. His honesty, fairness and unselfishness have placed him in the highest estimation of his classmates. His work is sometimes shirked, due to his great laziness, hut in spite of this he will he a success in life, on account of the ability within him.

20 The Scribbler MARY HUDGENS “If worry zvere the only cause of death, then I would lire forever.” With plenty of sympathy and kindness, Mary has all the elements which go to make a true friend. Her pet aversions are snakes and men (although we don’t think she hates snakes so much), and we expect some day to see her a famous woman politician. MARGARET HUMBERT “Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident.” We know from Margaret’s taciturnity and modesty that she has in her some genuine, sterling qualities, and because of these and her earnestness, we all expect from her something indeed great. BETTIE ELEEEN HUTCHINS Here the pen fails us—not because we have nothing to say, but because nothing we can say will do her justice. Bettie Eileen and music go together, for besides her glorious alto voice, she has ten talented fingers that can play such notes as warbled to the string would draw iron tears down Pluto’s checks.” You wouldn’t expect athletics to go with musical genius, hut Bcttie Eileen can play anything from basketball to tennis, and has even indulged in football in the privacy of her front yard. She can act, and she can recite, and she can talk, and she can eat, and she can do anything and everything. Yet she doesn’t know that she's wonderful at all. The world’s her playground, and everyone in it a possible friend. ALLEN HYATT “Wit and humor cover a multitude of faults.” Allen has made many friends at High School, and these have been won by true worth, as well as by quick wit and good humor. Whether in class, on the grounds or on the street, lie always greets us with a smile.

The Scribbler ?2 GEORGE D. JOHNSON “Rare compound of quality, noble and true. With plenty of sense and good humor, too.” As a gigantic Colossus, far above his fellows in the excellence of human things, towers the mighty form of G. D. Johnson. He is so loved by young and old, male and female, that we challenge anyone at any time to show us an enemy of his. Such popularity must be deserved. The reason for it lies in the fact that he is one of the exceeding few who can. with veracity, stand up and say today and tomorrow: “I am what I am.” And as a last and greatest characteristic, amid all his wonderful achievements, he is utterly wanting in vanity. J. T. HAIGLER “Never over serious, not too frivolous, but a rare good fellow” “Jake” is one of those who knows lots Ivut keep it to themselves. He is very handy with a bat and glove on the baseball diamond. He may seem a bit reserved at times, but a true friend you will find him, if you give him a chance. REBECCA KERR Brimming over with good qualities. “When hearts are true, few words will do.” Sympathetic, industrious, dignified. Rebecca has an ever-ready smile and is one of the happiest girls in the class. SELWYN KING “He zvas a man; take him for all and all I shall not look upon his like again.” “Sol” is a true friend and a real sport. He is always ready and willing to do his best to help one out of their troubles. This and his good nature account for his popularity.
