St. J oh n ' s Echoes, !) ■ ( INEZ LAW Mcr wit and ready smile have kept the class pepped up for so long that really we wonder when we all scatter how we'll net along with no Inez.

WILLIAM PEMBERTON GREENE Hill got a car to match his name and then fared forth, taking his car with him—. His slow drawl marks him for the Southerner he is. as do his easy-going ways. Hill, all dressed up and going somewhere, is really imposing - looking — no wonder so many fall! Eighth grade proctor; laboratory assist- ant; assistant property manager Senior play. MARGARET WILLIAMSON McLEOD If Margaret had been twins she could not have increased her list of talents or accomplishments. At basketball, in the Follies, in tin- classroom, at Glee Club — these are just a few of her many activi- ties. Margaret is one the world will make room for — at the top.

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. A mainstay on the basket- ball team, a member of the Senior play cast, one-sixth of the famous Follies Sex- tet. one-fifth of Miss Brunson's Latin class — Frances has certainly succeeded well •— who said she wouldn’t?

St. John's Echoes, 19 30 19 RUTH LaMOTTE Ruth joined us late but better late than never - - and when she did get here she made herself so indispensable that we have wondered ever since how we grot along: without her. She quickly showed her dramatic ability in the Senior Follies and the Junior Revue. Then the crown- ing glory, she starred in the Senior play. President St. John’s Society '30; basket- ball squad '30; Senior play; baseball spon- sor ’30; Block D ’30. RUTH RUSS Ruth's winsome face and sweet smile have brightened our classroom for two years — our only regret is that she could not have come sooner and stayed longer! Member of St. John’s Literary Society; Senior monitor. PEARL TOWNSEND MUNN Who is the soft-voiced, brown-eyed maiden who flashes a smile at you in passing? This is one of the Pearls of the Pee Dee and that means a Pearl of great price. Critic Lanier Society '29; book monitor 30; social editor Junior Bulletin ’29: prize essay ’29; censor Lanier ’30. EDITH ELIZABETH REGISTER Edith has a poise which many strive for but few attain. While she is one of the beauties of the class she has made her- self useful as well as ornamental. Her songs in the Junior Revue helped it to go over with a bang and were largely re- sponsible for the success of the Senior play. Secretary Lanier '27: vice president Lanier 27; Orchestra ’27. ’28.
