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.

 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.

------- r i SCRIBBLER ELIZABETH LEM MONO Slic was made for happy thoughts. For playful wit, and laughter. Who is that talking over in the corner ? Elizabeth, of course! Tubby” can talk anybody’s blues away, and she helps Old Sol brighten up the schoolroom many a time. Petite, pep-personified, loads of fun, that is Elizabeth! Although you generally see her eyes roll heavenward when she is called on, she gets by somehow. Her sunshiny disposition and cheerful giggle have made her popular here at High School. DAVID LEONARD p'.V y heart is whole, my fancy free; ‘ Go away, little girls, don't bother me.” Most Xdks think “Dave” is timid, but answer this question: Have you ever seen him on a football field?” Well, then, you should! He is a favorite with his classmates and finds time, with all the athletic interests, to study enough to pass and make creditable marks. ELIZABETH LEONARD If you fall, get up.’’ Lib, with long hair—Lib, with short hair—Lib, in her Buick—Lib, with her latest crush”! One can never tell which Lib to expect. But whichever one appears is always a delightful one. She is full of fun, but not frivolous or silly. All who know and understand Lib love her and hope the best for her future. MARGARET LESESNE “A smile for all, a greeting glad; A loz'able, friendly way she had. Margaret is our star History pupil. If she ever made under 99, we don’t remember it. Although History is her strong suit, she never neglects her other studies. Her wise cracks in Physics and French often liven up a dull lesson. There seems to be no end to her accomplishments, for she plays the piano exceedingly well and swings a mean tennis racquet. If you want Margaret to “sit up and take notice,” just mention Union. , WILLIAM LOWE I “A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Bill is one of our best all-round boys. He always has a smile to greet the nine o’clock bell and plunges into his work with a will. “To do better.” Great bridges and buildings will mark his efforts in later years, for Bill has architectural ambitions.
