SUE FLINN JAMES Here’s to a real “live-wire.” Taddy is a corking good cheer leader because when she does a thing she does it well! A bounding school spirit, a ready grin, a square-shooter,” a true friend — a poet. We, the class of 30. are proud to claim her.

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.

St. John’s Echoes, 1030 MILDRED BAKER Mildred has a talent which lots of peo- ple spend years cultivating — she knows how to be herself. Her unassumed air of friendliness and her contagious laugh have won for her a host of friends and made her a prime favorite in the class. Parliamentarian St. John’s Literary Society ’30: Senior play; member Poetry Society. LAWRENCE ELMER ABBOTT There's not much of him. but what there is is always right on the dot and up to the minute - and sometimes a little ahead of time — so the boys of opposing teams said this year. “Barney” starred in all the sports St. John's affords and has enough Block D's to paper his room. We’ll miss Barney and his dry wit. Delta Club '27.

FRANCES LEA HUFF We never thought much of Lamar until Prances came and then we realized that it must be all right after all if it had girls like this one.
