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.

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.

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.

RILLIE KIRVEN If Solomon had ever looked at this girl’s scholastic record he would have blushed for shame for his own stupidity. Yet Billie is not a bookworm — she has taken an active and successful part in all extra-curricula activities and her business ability has proved an asset to her class.

St. John’s will miss Bob. There won’t be anybody to pain- lessly extract reports for the Bulletin or teach Miss Pettis her History lesson. It sounds unkind, but we’ll be sorry to see Bob grab his “dip.” Coker Literary Society, '26, '27: Hayne Liter- ary Society. '28. '29: Orchestra, '26, '27, '28.'29; Pootball, '27. '28: Basket-ball.

ELLEN LYLES Ellen is blue-eyed and conscientious. On Saturday nights, when everybody kills as big a one as possible, Ellen dissipates by studying her Sunday school lesson, and the remarkable part of it is she REALLY has the time of her life. The Freshmen couldn’t get along without Ellen to chaperon them. She always seems glad to take them any- where. We hope next year’s Freshmen will be as lucky.
