30 The Scribbler ETHELYN PETERSON Ethelyn came to us in her Senior year from Greer High School. Ethelyn is quiet and never seems to be disturbed over anything. She has proven herself a faithful student while in High School. RUTH PICKENS Petite, jolly, brown-eyed Ruth has won her way into our hearts. She always knows her lessons, always has a smile ready to bring forth, and always is “good company.” “Babe” Ruth likes to play tennis and go to movies with Elizabeth Wallace. West Hampton will get a fine girl next year, as Ruth is “pretty to walk with, witty to talk with, and pleasant to think on.” MABEL PORTER Mabel is as sweet as she is pretty. She has a mania for eating at recess, and asks all she knows for “just one little bite.” Mabel’s retiring and by no means loquacious. However, the Wofford boys can make her “sit up and take notice”: that is, the good-looking Wofford boys. WILMA PRAYTOR “None knew her but to love her; None named her but to praise Wilma is a girl whom everyone loves. In her quiet way she moves about the school, cheering everybody with her happy smile. We believe that there is a happy future in store for Wilma, and as she goes out into life, the best wishes of the class of ’25 go with her.

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.

The Scribbler 31 MEREDITH PRICE Happy-go-lucky! That’s Meredith. She may be seen running through the corridor at 9:10, minus an excuse, and “apparently unnoticed by the powers that be.” Then she grins and proceeds to tell Lila and Sarah how long her “date” stayed last night. “Better late than never” is one of her mottoes. Meredith is one of the popular members of our class. After graduation, she intends to enter Winthrop. MILDRED PRINCE “Keep smiling, and half life’s battles are won.” “Worry,” says Mildred, “kills people. Joviality kills worry. Which shall we employ?” Her sound logic in this, as in other things, has made her the friend of all. NORA RIDGEWAY “Happy am I; from care I’m free; Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Yes, this is “Ridgie,” sometimes known as “Lefty.” Ridgie blew in to us from Greenville in 1923. This climate has had a soothing influence on her, however, and she may now be catalogued as perfectly harmless, except occasionally, when that “red hot temper” flies off, and then no distance is too great to put between yourself and her. She has an ability for talking and can easily convince anybody in a debate. To be a lawyer is her ambition. Her passion is eating candy. They tell us that virtue always has its own reward, so we’re safe in predicting a great future for “Ridgie.” MARGARET SCRUGGS “Laughter holding both his sides.” Will Peggy ever stop giggling? We all hope not, beceause it is a sound we all love to hear. Peggy is one of the joiliest and most attractive members of our class, and some day we expect to see everywhere, “Mademoiselle Peggie, the great artist.”
