ALBERT COUCH Albert is really too handsome. Even boys stare at him in a dazed sort of way — and the poor girls never come out of the fog. He conquers all his problems with that tri- umphant air of a true hero. His record at St. John's shows him to be an able worker. Orchestra, ’26. '27. ’28: Member Hayne Literary Society.

HUGH DARGAN “I wish I was a little rock, a-setting on a hill A-doing nothin' all day long but jes' a-setting still: I wouldn't eat; I wouldn't sleep; I wouldn't even wash — Pd jes' set still a thousand years and rest myself, b'gosh! That's Hugh! It's not that he's lazy. Nothing like that. He's just — er-er — placid. However, in spite of his sedentary tendencies, he was elected class president.

SARAH DARGAN She is a meek-looking child, and thus impresses one at first — but (like Rose- Marie) “there’s a little devil in her eye. She has a right to expect good sportsman- ship, because she always gives it when it is expected of her. We have no reason to sus- pect she'd do such a thing, but we firmly believe that if she ever does eat jam on the sly, she'll share it with her buddy and then take her spanking like a man.

ELIZABETH CODY Elizabeth has a conscience. It gets in her way at times. She usually manages to keep it satisfied, but she almost devotes her life to its service. She seldom asks any ques- tions, but we prophesy that she can answer most any you can ask her. There’s one out- standing characteristic that sheds glory on her name — she can be depended on to do what she says she will do. Our blessings rest upon her.

HANNAH SUE COKER She’ll fool you with her serious looks, but beware of her line, you prudent youths! That hair of hers might well be taken as a danger signal. Hannah Sue started out to be a pillar of St. John’s society, but she got frivolous in her old age. We’re glad of it. There are plenty of pillars, but TRY to find another Hannah Sue !

He looks energetic, too. His eyes always look as if he is intent on some great and glorious course. Whatsoever it is, we’re batting on it. Go to it, Hugh. St. John’s is backing you.

BLANCHE DENNIS “No matter what the game she plays. She puts her whole heart in it — She doesn’t sniffle when she’s beat. Whate’er the play, she dares it; And if she goes down to defeat, She grins and gaily bears it.” Pardon the outburst of poetry, but Blanche is a good sport. She goes about her busi- ness with a placidity that amounts almost to a trance, at times. But, as she and Caesar — equally skilled in classics — say, “Veni, vidi, vici.” Member Lanier Literary Society, '2G; Censor Lanier, '27; Member St. .John’s, '28, '29; Moni- tor, '29; President Sophomore Class; Manager Basket-ball,'28: Vice President Glee Club,'29; Senior Play; Sponsor Football Team.

Pretty yet wise; musical yet practical; an earnest student yet a merry play-fellow; a charming coquette and yet a loyal friend. Match her if you can ! Member Lanier Literary Society. '26.

HOWARD EDWARDS Where’s the chemistry assistant ? Where’s Howard ? The chemistry students almost . have to get out a microscope to find him he’s so small. Howard is composed, chem- ically speaking, of C 12 N 22 Oil. This substance has a melting point of 160 de- grees, but just mention some of the Junior girls to Howard and he’ll easily melt at the North Pole.
