JOHN KELLY HOWLE Football '22-'23; Class Basketball 25; President Hayne Literary Society; Censor Haync Literary Society; Sensor Coker Literary Society; Orchestra ’24-’25; Business Manager Junior Edition; Assist- ant Business Manager Bulletin '24; Business Mana- ger Bulletin '24; Class Play; Class Rhymster. We have never seen anybody quite like John. He is “homo generis”. Not that we don’t like him so, for he is one of the most popular hoys in our class. With his beloved “sax” he has jazzed his way into all our hearts forever. Don’t misunder- stand us now—John is something more than a saxophonist. He is a lad of brains and mettle. You will hear from him later. ALICE OLIVE HOWLE Censor St. John’s Literary Society; President St. John’s Literary Society. Here is a girl, who, though entering our class only last year, has made her influence felt to no small degree. Her ambition is tempered by un- selfishness, as her thoughtful face is brightened by her sunny smile. Though she has made a host of good marks at St. John’s, better still, she has made a host of loying friends. 1 (j C-4-4?—t-'l . KIRKLAND DARGAN HUMPHRIES Member Hayne Literary Society; Class Prophet; Secretary and Treasurer Coker Literary Society. In Dargan Humphries we see those qualities which mark the student and the gentleman. He knows how to DIG—to think things out for him- self—and solve his problems in his own way. And so he shines among the brightest stars in our constellation. But withal, he wears his honors as a modest, courteous, unselfish gentleman should. That’s Dargan. Twenty-Two

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
