WILLIAM LEONARD SMITH Member Hayne Literary' Society; Member Coker Literary Society. A fine physique, plenty of brains, and an abun- dance of energy has Leonard—-attributes which make for success. So you need not be surprised to see him, before he is many years older, a pro- minent figure in the business circles of Darling- ton. SARAH RUTHVEN PRIVETTE Member Lanier Literary Society; Censor St. John’s Literary Society. Such a simple, sweet little lassie is our Ruth, with appealing ways and friendly manner. In fact, she does not seem a grown-up Senior, but just a dear, little girl with whom you want to laugh and play. ' c v JOSEPH SALEEBY Twenty-Five

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

Dutiful, earnest, unassuming—Marie has pursued the quiet tenor of her ways through Junior and Senior years, and has won the respect and con- fidence of teachers and classmates alike.

CLAUDE ABRAM VAUGHAN Baseball 24-'25; Class Basketball '24-'25; Critic Hayne Literary Society; Critic Coker Literary So- ciety; Orchestra ’24'25; Athletic Editor Bulletin 24; Class Play; Class Lawyer. Every day in chapel we hear Claude’s little horn, Music we shall sadly miss when he and his sax have gone, Every day he greets us with a smile unon his face. And lends a helping hand with an easy, kindly grace. Twenty-Six
