 SCRIBBLER OLIVER BENNETT Hot failure, but low aim, is crime. Oliver is the sort of fellow who takes part in all school activities and helps to advance them. He has had a lot of tough luck this year and missed a good many classes, but by much work and a fine spirit he has kept up, and in addition has made one of the best football managers we have ever had. He is mighty good on the tennis courts, too! GORDON BLACKWELL He will succeed on merit, all his own. All right, folks, here is the original encyclopaedia. He has never said, I don’t know,” in reply to a question at school, except once, when asked who was the best-looking girl in the Senior Class. Gordon is an all-round fellow in spite of his genius and was manager of the basketball team this year. ’Nuff said. ELMO BOWEN As a man thinketh, so is lie. All animosity felt for any one residing within the precincts of our rival, Greenville, was instantly forgotten when Elmo strode into the corridors of our school. His quiet smile and attitude in the classroom have gained for him many friends among the students and faculty. We are glad you came, old boy. PHOEBE BOWEN “Happy am I, from care I’m free; Why aren’t they all content like me?” Here’s happy-go-lucky Phoebe, the best old sport you ever knew! No matter what happens, Phoebe can always find something to laugh about. She’s happy and gay and chuck full of nonsense, and although she makes it a rule to attend all the school dances, she always steps up with the honor-roll list at the end of the month. ROBERT BOWEN He that knoweth more, I envy; He that knoweth less. pity. His laughing brown eyes are quite captivating. Robert lias never been known to hurry, and often when others are dashing wildly to class, he can be seen stalking through the halls in the most nonchalant manner. He likes Physics especially, but he stands well with all his teachers.

 r LOUISE ANTHONY “Light-hearted, happy, wild and young. She laughed, and talked, and daneed, and sung.” Louise is right there when it comes to boys and dances. It certainly is true that “gentlemen prefer blondes.” because they all prefer Louise. Style, good looks, charm, personality—all of these go to make up the “it” that distinguishes Louise from other girls and makes everybody like her. EARL BAGWELL ltAU great men are dead, and don’t feel very well myself Earl loves to argue, but he always sees both sides of the question, and this enables him to get good marks in all his school work. Bagwell has saved himself from many a zero by his great oratory. Outside of school, Earl is interested in all kinds of sports. NORMAN BALLARD What I must do is all that eoneerns me. not what people think.” Norman follows his own dictations—independently. His chief characteristics are determination and ability, which are exceeded only by his good looks. The “ups and downs” encountered in French are made up in Math, which is smooth sailing for Norman. He is not always studious, but he has a quick mind, and when he does study there are few questions that he can’t answer. In short, Norman is just an all-round good fellow. WALTON BATES “Shake hands with him; he likes it.” Here is one whose combination of a sunny disposition and a rare measure of wit and humor makes him irresistible. Even those dreaded demons known as teachers have been known to smile at his jokes. His motto is. “Smile and the world grins with you. weep and vou bawl alone.” MONNIE BECKNELL Do not love your enemies: have no enemies to lover Mounie is one of the most dependable girls in our class. She is always wise and is always willing to help. Even though naturally quiet, she always has more to say than “I don’t know” to any of her teachers. We do not have a single fear about her future, for we know that Monnie’s sincerity and reliance will get her any place at any time whatever. i SCRIBBLER.

i SCRIBBLER MARGARET BRICE “There buds the promise of celestial worth. Looking for a type ? Well, here’s one for you. Not a long-faced “good girl, not a profound student, not a flapper, but an embodiment of spicy characteristics with substantial ideas that we have to admire. Frank, but not too frank, and always careful not to hurt anybody's feelings, she's just the person you’d love to know. MAX BRIDGES Knowledge is penoer; wisdom is bliss. .-Ill frivolous pastime. I dismiss. Quiet, retiring, and of a thoughtful countenance, yet foreseeing withal a sly humor, which peeps forth now and then. He is primarily a scholar, a boy who can be relied upon at any time. The multitude of 100‘s on his card is reported to have astonished even the great geniuses of 4-B. RAMONA BROCK “Much study is a wearisome to the flesh. When Ramona’s friendship is once gained, you can be sure it will stick through thick and thin. We are all familiar with her ability to grasp hidden meanings of Wordsworth and Emerson. It is believed that Ramona’s strong alto voice played a great part in winning the Glee Club Contest this year. Her attractive personality will long linger in the hearts of her classmates. RUBY BROOM She is worth her weight in gold. Ruby is one of those quiet, demure girls whom everybody likes. She makes good marks on all her studies, and is especially bright in Latin classes. It is rumored, too, that Ruby has beaux. CUYNELL BURNETT Precious parcels come in small packages.” Do we love her? I’ll say we do. She is one of those girls who has no particular hobby. If she is not at a picture show, she is planning a week-end trip. She builds lovely air castles which inevitably go up in smoke when her sister says, “Guynell, study those lessons. The Senior Class would not have been complete without her.
