Yet with all her love of fun and good times, she is ever ready to do her part and lend a helping hand to others. Is it any wonder we all love Mary? 4 )l r,

Not only has Ben Ellerbe brains, ability and character, but self-control and poise—remark- able in one of his years. Being master of him- self, it is no wonder he is a leader of others. But what strikes one more than anything else about him is the ease with which he does things. This and his dependability account for the fact that he is called on to perform so many difficult tasks. High in sports, high in scholarship, high in the hearts of his teachers and classmates, is E. B. Ellerbe, Jr. EDWIN DARGAN ERVIN Football '24; Secretary and Treasurer Hayne Liter- ary Society; Vice-President Hayne Literary Society; Vice-President Coker Literary Society; Cheer Lead- er; Vice-President Class ’22-’23-'25. In Edwin we have one of the finest types of gentlemen. Behind his quiet and modest air are the best qualilies that one can possess—manli- ness, courtesy, unselfishness, loyalty and grit. Should we not be justly proud of Ed? THEO AMANDA FLOWERS Member St. John's Literary Society.

CECIL EDWARDS HARPER Football '23; Baseball '23; Basketball ’23-'24; Mem- ber Hayne Literary Society; Member Coker Liter- ary Society. We almost lost Cecil last fall, but he found he just could not tear himself away. So here he is—we are glad to say—a tall, good-looking boy, who knows when to have his fun and when to be the quiet, dignified, courteous Senior. WESLEY HARRELL President Hayne Literary Society; Secretary Coker Literary Society; Football '22-'23-'24; Manager Team '24; Class Basketball ’24-’25; Captain Team '25; Baseball '23-'24-'25; Captain Team '25; Or- chestra '24-’25; President '25; President of Class '24; Secretary and Treasurer '25; Class Play; Ath- letic Editor Bulletin '25. Wecky has well been dubbed the most “school spirited boy” in the class. He pulls hard for everything the school undertakes and he and his smile are always on hand. An all-round athlete, a gentleman, a ladies’ man and a patriot—that’s Wesley! ADA ELIZABETH HOOLE Critic St. John's Literary Society; Class Statis- tician. Although she studies a great deal, yet even her dearest enemy could not call Ada a bookworm. To the casual stranger she gives the impression of being shy and quiet; but wait ’til you see her off duty. She has a joyful disposition and car- ries lightly the great and awful dignity of a Senior—Hence her many friends. Twenty-One
