THE JUNIOR CLASS BETSY KENDRICK. President J. R. ROBERTSON. Vice-President HARRIET COHB1TT. Secretary DORRIS WITHERS. Treasurer Among the Junior constellations there flashed anti shone those more brilliant lights against the background of the less brilliant, but steady and never changing stars. Flashing suddenly across the heavens, Will Gibson, who took the masculine lead in the spring dramatic production. “Merton of the Movies,” made a rocket-like rise to fame. Earlier in the spring with the presentation of the operetta. Miss Cherry- blossom.” by the Glee Club. Ernest Wilkins shone brightly, displaying his young tenor in its best form in the masculine lead. Always appearing in her regular place radiantly gleaming, Mildred Howerton brought honor to her Alma Mater and to her own name for her work on the school debating team, the newspaper, and in dramatics. Another, Frances Stallings, faithfully appeared in her place. She served as make-l ' p Editor of the Peanut Picker and as photographic Editor of the Peanut. Shining equally as bright was Mary Cross Jordan, to whom the financial suc¬ cess of the Peanut Picker was largely due. In the Peanut Picker constellation we find also the steady gleam from Jack Palmer’s weekly column, the bright twinkle of Tony Hobb’s humor, and a large cluster of others too numerous to name here. The sports constellations glittered with juniors: six lettermen in football, with Edward Wills as the 19315 captain shining most brilliantly; five boys receiving basketball letters, with John Henry Pearce as 193(5-37 captain; five girls who re¬ ceived letters for an undefeated season; three speedy men on the track team, with .1. It. Hobertson winning a first place in the state meet; and six lettermen on the baseball team. The most consistently brilliant star in sports was Arthur Jones, wlm received letters in football, basketball, baseball, ami track.

Of these, there are nine juniors: Mildred Howerton and Frances Stallings winning Circles, and Mary Cross Jordan.

Elizabeth Norfleet, Vivian Ziemke, Margaret Hiddick. Ernest Wilkins, and Sara Phillips under whose leadership the most anticipated event of the year—the Junior-Senior Recep¬ tion — was made possible; the entire Junior Class, one and all. which stood back of each of these and with its cooperation helped them on to greater achievements; and last, but not dimmest, that diligent, bright, and constant star, the president of the Junior Class — Betsy Kendrick.
