— SCRIBBLER IRENE BURNS “Laughing zvhen glad; affectionate, though shy.’’ Everybody knows “Shorty. We cannot conceive of anyone being blue in her company, for who has ever seen her perfectly quiet? And who has ever seen her bother about being on time? “The clock is too fast, she says. Shorty” has a queer way of combining studies, pleasures, and—Wofford! MARDIE CAMPBELL “It doesn’t pay to worry; I liings are bound to happen, anyway. Oh! what would we have done without Mardie! Although she hasn’t much use for quadratic equations and civil wars, she gained her fame among us by her charming ways. I am sure when we shake our Seniors of 1928 in a bag and then pour them out. Mardie will come bouncing out on top. She always does. BETTY CANNON “Determination makes dreams come true.’’ Look! Here comes the walking dictionary with a stack of hooks reaching to the ceiling, and talking as usual. How often we hear “I’m going to make a had mark this month. and how often wc see 98’s and 99’s on her report, for Betty is our star pupil. She is an authority on every subject, from History to—antiques. If you ever see a little blonde rambling through a dusty old shop, you’ll know Betty is on her daily antique quest. MARION CANTRELL “Never frivolous, never slow, just the girl you’d like to know.” Marion is just the dependable girl we couldn’t do without. She is always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need. The care of translating Latin will never dull her gay spirit. Her honesty and unselfishness has placed her high in the hearts of her fellow students. We all wish her much success in the future. KATHLEEN CARTER “A ready smile, a welcome glad, One of the best our class has shad.” “Cat” is the Senior Class giggler. When the teachers get down-hearted, they call on Kathleen, who always answers slowly but surely. Sometimes, when she has had a date the night before, the answers just won’t come—even slowly. She looks at the teachers with her big brown eyes, and down goes a hundred! She’s a darling!

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.

 H E SCRIBBLER. ABIGAIL CECIL “Never frivolous, never slozc— Just the yirl you’d like to knozv.” Is she a good chum ? Docs everybody love her ? I'll say they do! Especially the other sex. You just can’t help loving Abigail—especially after hearing her friendly giggle. The class of '28 will always think of auburn curls and sparkling blue eyes—and then we can't forget her. EUTHA CHAFFIN A voice soft, gentle, olid low—tin excellent tiling in woman.’’ Quietness, sincerity, and steadiness are some of Eutha’s admirable qualities. She is always true to her friends, of whom she has many. Her enemies? We have never heard of them. She is studious and popular with both teachers and pupils. SAMANTHA CHAPMAN “My tongue within my lips I reign. For who speaks much will speak in vain.’’ Nan” never hangs on her locker door or shouts in the corridor, for she is very quiet. Nevertheless. Still waters run deep.” She is so modest she tries to hide her talents, but somehow they shine right through. Her earnestness and perseverance are sure to make her life as successful as her school days have been. T. R. CHILDRESS But am never stupid, seldom blue; My riches are an honest heart and true. Behold a future combination of Byron. Shakespeare. and Addison—what have we? I'll bite, what? He is attentive in class, has filled several pages of the Scribbi.er. and is liked and respected by all the students and faculty. His sunny disposition and sterling character make him a gentleman under all conditions. Neither is he looked upon in scorn by the fairer sex! EVELETH CLARY “Loyal hearted, strong of mind, a truer friend no-t’here you'll find. Happy-go-lucky! That's Eveleth! Who knows vhy Eveleth likes to go to Greer to basketball games? Ye just wonder! Eveleth is so good-natured, you lever know it’s raining outside when she is in class.
