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.”

The Scribbler 29 MYRTLE PARRISH “Night after night. She sat and bleared her eyes with books. Really. Myrtle is the brain of our class. If it were not for her, where would the honor of 4-E be? She is on the honor roll every month, and we are just as proud of her as we can be. BETTY PHIFER Betty is one of the live wires of our class, and has always something to say. What would we do without her? She can always get the teachers interested in outside affairs. She has a lot of high school spirit, and pep’s her middle name. “Age cannot wither her, nor customs stale her infinite variety.” You don’t know it’s raining outside when Betty’s in class. She has a keen sense of humor, and we predict she will grow rich writing comedies. THOMAS PHIFER “Hear me a little, for am not silent long.” Tom hopes to be an auctioneer some day. He is getting in practice in high school. His knowledge of mythology is unparalleled, and this stands as a beginning to the goal of erudition. SARAH PEARSON “Virtue is its own reward.” Day in and day out. keep at your knitting. “Labor omnia vincit.” There is a great reward awaiting those who do the thing well.
