The Scribbler LOUISE ALLEN Louise is not very athletic, but she plays the colored lady“ to perfection, and is always in demand whdfi a person is wanted to be a black mammy or a kinky-haired new maid. A peppy, gum-chewing, original, “devil-may-care” girl is Louise. You'd never know she is a Senior, because dignified isn't in Louise’s vocabulary. but merry, harum-scarum time is 1 MARIE ALLEN “1 have formed the practice to put all my worries dozvn in the bottom of my heart, and sit on the lid and smile.” Marie has won our admiration and esteem by her humor and mischievousness ; her jolly disposition and merry laugh is a sure balm for sadness. Lessons that have not been studied cast no more than a fleeting shadow over her countenance. History is her one sore trial. She is a good pal and is always foremost in the fun at school. If we are masters of our fates, her latter life will be as happy as her school’s. MARIE AMICK “A cheerful heart, a cheerful smile, A charm of friendship all the while.” With that bewitching manner of hers and the smile that is all her own, Marie has won a warm place in the hearts of all the classmates. She has never been known to study conscientiously day by day, but on the eve of exams she devours the entire year’s work, likewise consuming the midnight oil. But in spite of this, she always reaches the goal. We all join in wishing her a bright and happy future. SADIE ANDERSON Athletic, lively, wise in common sense, and full o’ spirits. Sadie’s some girl! She's the steadiest basketbal player you ever saw, never loses her “sang froid” or misses a dance for S. H. S. Sadie never gets disturbed, though she does grow excited. Sadie’s a “brick.”

4 The Scribbler Senior Class c ODEAN ABERNATHY “Silence is sweeter than speech.’' Odean is a faithful member of our class. She does not talk much, but when she does you may be sure she’s going to say something worth while. MARY ALEXANDER Mary is the kind of a girl everybody likes to have around. She’s so thoughtful and willing to do her share always. On the basketball court. Mary “holds her own” and guards the ball like “Horatius at the bridge.” She’s very athletic— weilds a “wicked” tennis racket and a mighty baseball bat. Mary’s quiet and dependable, just a “fine ole” girl. We envy Winthrop! ALBERT ALLEN “When you set yourself to do a thing, do it with a will; He who would reach the top must first climb the hill. As steadfast as an arrow; as true as steel; as brilliant and constant as the stars. Compile these, and even then you will fall far short of rating his true character. HARRY ALLEN “Give me a place on which to stand, and with my lever I will move the world. We must hand it to Harry for wisdom: Tie is not afraid of work, nor has he yet fallen in love. If he cannot answer a question in Physics, it is unanswerable, and we know that some day he will be ranked with Sir Isaac Newton and Faraday.

6 The Scribbler LILA ATKINSON Lithe and willowy, Lila is extremely popular, both with girls and boys. She’s inclined to be frivolous, fond of dancing, dates, and any kind of fun. Lila’s never reckless, even though she’s rather frivolous, and no sweeter, better girl ever lived! MELL BAGWELL “Black eyes, with a wondrous witching charm.” We are all glad that we have Mell in our class. Besides being a splendid student. she has the gift of making friends by the wholesale. She always has a sweet smile and pleasant word for everyone. And she is also President of the “High School Girl Reserves.” HERMAN BARBER “Silence is golden, but you would be surprised.” This young lad could not well be described in such a short account. But to those who know him, such an account is unnecessary, and you who do not know him begin to imagine him a small, handsome youth, who is a friend to all. MERVYN BARNETT “To be. rather than to seem to be.” “Ham,” as he is generally known, has proven to be a good fellow to have in a class. Although his natural qualities are inclined to be somewhat amusing, his intellectual capacity is very extensive. He has not sought after any form of honor, but has been a lover of honor.
