JAMES ROBERT LYLES, JR. If James had ever really studied there’s no telling what would have happened — his marks would probably have been over 100 because as it was he stood very, very high and made l’s in spite of himself. The wave-lengths of Speedy's hair will some day entitle him to a radio station and we fully expect to hear him on the air in the future on “How to get by with- out studying.’’ Marshal ’29: Delta Club '27. 28, '29; athletic editor Bulletin; class lawyer ’30: Senior play. EDWARD BENJAMIN DAVIS A man’s man is “Red” which is proved by the fact that he was football captain and the hero of every little boy in town. However. Red did not spend all his en- ergies on sports but was a faithful, earn- est student and won the respect and ad- miration of classmates and teachers alike.
