 was time to study and played when it was time to play. Thus, her life has been a success. Now comes the history of Miss Sarah Jessie Brent. She climbed straight through the grades with case, as she was a very bright pupil. She is also very fond of the boys, and so we may lose her soon after school is out. Miss Etta Pauline Campbell, who lives several miles out in the country, has had quite a difficult time in getting to school, but since she has so much energy tied up in such a cute little bundle, she has always been on duty and ready to do whatever was asked of her. Now here is another of our favorite classmates, Mr. James Arthur Ashley. When entering school, James was shy of the girls, but all this soon changed and he is now a ladies’ man. Just ask Margaret Goggin. Mr. Ernest Gilbert Estridge, now a native of Stanford, was bom during the Civil War, somewhere on earth. He tells us that his plans are to enter college after finishing here, but that would be useless as he often says, “Feather your nest without working.” In plainer words, taking unto himself a wealthy wife.

When a young lady, her parents decided to come to the best town on the map to live. Ovalee was very disappointed when she came here to live, because of leaving a very dear friend behind. Soon another admirer won her heart, but since the war has taken him, her heart is broken. We are quite sure that after the war is over, the pieces of her heart will fall in place again. Mr. Ralph Earles, who used to be a member of our class, was too smart for the rest of us, so he graduated himself about the middle of the year. Miss Aleene Morris was born near Hubble. As she was a very delicate child, and her parents had heard that Stanford was a health resort, they decided to send her to the Stanford High School, so she might regain her health. As we notice, she has succeeded. Miss Virginia Christine Rogers has only been with for a little while, so we know very little of her history, only that she has been the best of sports and is loved by all of her classmates. Some other town besides Stanford is the birthplace of Mr. Darwin Greer. From another source we learned that he entered the first
