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

No matter what the weather, she’s smiling like a rose, She’s just as jolly with the girls as when she’s with the beaux. She never tries to shirk her work, nor declines the hardest task, If you wish a favor of her, you only have to ask. She has earned full many an honor, won full meed of praise, We admire her grit and intellect, but we love her w insome ways. ELIZABETH MURHPY PLAYER Member Lanier Literary Society; Critic St. John's Literary Society; Orchestra ’22-’25; Contributing Editor Junior Edition; Local Editor '25; Class Ar- tist; Class Poet; Class Play. Sweetness, attractiveness, comliness, unselfish- ness and plenty of common sense—put these to- gether and we have -Elizabeth Player. But if there is anybody who has any doubt about her possessing all of these qualities, just put her to to the test and you’ll see that “Libby” will al- ways “ring true.” THOMAS PENDERGAST Football '24: Member llayne Literary Society; Critic Coker Literary Society; Joke Editor Junior Edition; Class Play. In an age when young people, as a whole, are inclined to choose the easy way of accepting ready-made opinions, it is refreshing to find a boy who does his own thinking and expresses his thoughts without fear or favor—such is Tom. In other words, Originality spells Tom and In- dependence. Pe rider gas t. Twenty-Four
