Although quiet, he has made many friends among the pupils of the High School. He has proven himself to bq a sincere friend, and with his ability, he should make a wonderful success in life. This Scribbler CLYDE McWHIRTER “The golden branch among the shadoivs.” Clyde is well known and liked for his friendliness and musical talents. He is a living proof of the maxim, “Quality is better than quantity.” He is not only a good student, but, as it seems, he is also quite a sheik. FRED NANTZ “A gentleman makes no noise.” Fred is a quiet chap, but is held in esteem by his fellow students.

The Scribbler ADDIE McCLURE “Persistent in duty, loyal to right, Faithful and kind of heart ’ These lines apply to Addie perfectly, for as a comrade and true friend she has won her way into the hearts of all. She possesses the rare charm of being the same everywhere you see her, always friendly, industrious and willing to lend a helping hand to those who stand in need of her aid. SARAH McCLURE “A good disposition, a friendly heart. Sarah has the sweetest disposition. We all love her and wish her much success. Julian McCreary “The bravest and the tenderest; the loving and the daring. A pianist that would make Paderewski die of shame, and a lover that would make Rudolph Valentino pale. He is a most considerate, polite, and popular youth, and yet out of all these noble qualities we fear that he will make a “Beau Brummel.” TUCKER McCRAVY “Everything comes to him ivho waits; Therefore, ivhy should I hurry? Tucker has played an important part in winning some of our High School games. At football he was an invaluable asset; and at classes he sometimes, but not always, showed some seriousness in his work. He is an essential to the class and is beloved among his school friends.

28 The Scribbler LEILA NEWMAN “Life, zvhat art than without lore?” Leila is the kind of a girl that can find fun outside of class without neglecting her studies. She is a splendid pupil, and a good pal. CLYDE NELSON “He that kuoweth more than , envy; He that knoivcth less, I pity.” “Doc” has the uncanny ability of prompting teachers when they become confused. He is also noted for his argumentative powers. Sometimes he can show an outburst of real knowledge which, indeed, rivals that of Solomon. DERRAL PADGETT “Heard melodies are szveet, but those unheard arc sweeter.” “Sax” received his nickname from his ability to play the old saxophone. Not only can he make this instrument squeak, but also he can hold his own with anyone on any musical instrument that has yet been invented. He has won the whole school—the boys by his cheerful disposition. and the girls by his golden locks and feminine blushes. ELIZABETH PARKER “It doesn’t pay to worry; things arc bound to happen anyway” We just couldn’t get along without “Libba.” Although she hasn’t much use for quadratic equations and Caesar’s wars, her charming ways and pretty face win friends for her wherever she goes. We wish her good luck in her career as “schoolmarm.”
