JENNIE ERVIN The old woman who lived in the shoe had nothing on Jennie. She is so used to a lot of children that nothing less than an orphan asylum will satisfy her in the future. Jennie could write a book on “My Favorite Recipes.” She simply adores cooking, and we simply adore eating what she cooks. Cooking and basket-ball are her favorite sports. Member St. John's Literary Society. '28: Mem- ber Lanier. '29; Book Monitor, '29: Basket- ball. '28. '29: Senior Play; Athletic Editor Bulletin, '29. SADIE GOODSON Sadie gives the impression of being very reserved, an admirable trait, but rather ter- rifying to Freshmen. But you should know her — no kidding. She’s a peach, and those gray eyes of hers would have inspired as much poetry in another time as Elaine’s. In this age, though, they inspire something else, no doubt quite satisfactory to their owner. Lanier Literary Society, 26. ’27. 28, ’2ft; Delta Club. '26. 27; Senior Play. MARY SUE GREY It is hard to explain Mary Sue. She is as smart as a whip, and has worlds of real ability. Do you think she ever uses it? No; she does otherwise and acts as if she’s almost ashamed of the brains she has. She is the most “perfect lady” we ever knew. Sometimes it’s hard to believe she is as inno- cent-minded as she really is. Her weakness is “Frank”ness. She may get over it, but then, she may not. Member Lanier Literary Society. '2U. '27.

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.

MYRTLE HATCHELL There is something interesting behind that shy, quiet air of Myrtle's. She's no good in a crowd, but when you get her alone — you’d be surprised. An honest and diligent stu- dent — she takes her courses and passes them. A temperament like hers is a com- fortable thing to own. St. John’s Literary Society. '26, 27, '28; Presi- dent St. John’s, ’29; Treasurer Class. ’27; Junior Bulletin Staff; Exchange Editor Bulle- tin. ’29; Senior Play: Delta Club. WINNIE HOWLE Winnie is short for winsome, you see; And Winnie's as winsome as she can be — Her cheeks are like roses, her hair is like gold, And she is loved by the young and the old.
