 H e: SCRIBBLER. BLANCHE JOLLY “The best kind of sport and a pal true blue. Blanche is one of the happiest and jolliest girls in our class. She is a friend to everyone, and is much loved by all. Blanche also loves all kinds of sports, and is ready to join in any fun that may come her way. She likes Wofford, too. When we think of a true pal, we always think of Blanche. GRACE JONES Calm as a summer sky of blue.’’ Under all exasperating, nerve-wracking experiences in the class room, Grace goes serenely on. Her ability as an actress has won for her a place of distinction among her classmates, while her fame as an arguer has spread far and wide. RUTH KELLER Woman is to be loved, not understood. Well, here’s the Senior question mark ! What dull classes 4-A would have if it were not for Ruth’s proverbial ninety-nine questions each day. However, that is surely one way to learn, and Ruth is far from being at the bottom of her class in scholastic records. She is lots of fun, and knows the private life of all the teachers, and possesses more inside information than an Information Bureau. Cheerful, good-natured and always “up and ready”—that’s Ruth. JOYCE KELLETT Here’s a heart for any fate. Who is that laughing? Joyce, of course, telling Margaret Brice something funny. She is a strong I . advocate of athletics, particularly football, and can always be found on the sidelines rooting enthusiastically! Some say she has personal reasons for liking the game. Suppose you ask her. In the classroom, she makes creditable marks, and with her friends she is quite popular. ELIZABETH KING “Be it'hat you endeavor to be.’’ She possesses a wonderful amount of concentration and has only to read her lessons over once to know them perfectly. Her grades are excellent, and she has had the privilege of taking only four examinations while at Spartan High. As a Latin student, few surpass her. She is a friend to everyone and beloved by all those who are fortunate enough to be named her friends.

H E SCRIBBLER CATHERINE HUTCHINS Mighty in deed, love, and thought. Catherine’s one of the most popular girls in the class of '28. Her captivating manner and Sunday disposition have won her hosts of friends, (luce she got to school on time, and the shock was hard upon ’Fessor Blake. Catherine's a born leader, and we expect great things of her some day. Here's luck! HOWARD INGRAM Von never can tell the depth of the veil by the length of the handle that’s on the pump.’' “Skinny” is the victim of many a practical joke, but he takes them all good-naturedly, with no hard feelings. His greatest drawback is his inability to produce his books and his excuse at the right time. But when he manages to get hold of a book fifteen minutes before class, he’s there with the goods. PAULINE JACKSON Modest and shy as a daisy. Pauline, although very quiet among strangers, is distinguished among us for her sparkling wit and good humor. Her highest ambition is to some day learn to pronounce French. We hope, with all her learning, she will not lose her art of memorizing poetry. HELEN MAY JOHNSON IVhen in doubt—giggle. Do you know Helen May? Popular? I should say so! Why, she just compels one to like her. She has a habit of dancing breezily into “Fessor” Blake’s Physics room every morning raving over that “perfectly cute date she had the night before. To her friends she leaves the impression of funny remarks (especially in Physics class), blue Chryslers with the cut out, dates, and a vivacious personality. JOE HILL JOHNSON When the Great Scorer comes to write against your name, lie writes not that you won or lost, but how yon played the game. Behold the captain of the football team! and a star player of the basketball sextet! Joe is one of the most popular boys at school—particularly with the fairer sex. His good humor and friendliness are partly responsible for the good name he has made at Spartan High. We wish for you the best, Joe.

SCRIBBLER MARY LOU KIRBY “If love is music, play on forever.” Dreamy blue eyes—brown liair—a sweet, sweet smile—yes! Mary Lou reminds people of an angel— and she must be, because her music is—heavenly. The class of '28 has great hopes of front seat passes to your first Metropolitan concert, Mary Lou, so don’t forget us! Jk v ADA LANCASTER Give me music and true friends And life will be a pleasure.” When the whole class has declared that they have never heard of such a Latin rule, Ada quietly gets up, gives the rule and blandly winks at our dumb-founded faces. How Ada manages to play tennis all afternoon. practice for her career as the second Paderewski, get to bed for her beauty sleep, and then get on the honor roll is a riddle we’ve never solved. ROWENA LARK “Come what come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day.” Rowena is a quaint little mouse whose comings and goings do not make for disturbance in the class. Those who know her, however, like her, for she is always kind, thoughtful, and willing to help. BEATRICE LEE “Here’s a smile for those who love me, Here’s a sigh for those who hate; . bid whatever sky’s above me. Here’s a heart for any fate.” Here is a real pal! “Bea” is one of the best allround girls in High School. She can translate “Virgil” backwards, can shoot a wicked goal, can write poetry, and she can talk—and talk—and talk ! Whenever a good joke is being told, old Bea” is right there “holding both her sides.” And even if she has the malady of getting on the honor roll every month, she can always giggle and sympathize with us who don’t. GERTRUDE LEE “True to my word, my work, and my friends.” Worth, courage, honor, wit—these are indeed her sustenance and birthright. She seems to have attained the happy medium between fun and work. Gertrude is a quiet, unassuming girl whose sunny disposition has won for her many friends.
