Sumner School is not especially individual for her awards in athletics, scholarship, and oratorical ability, but she is outstanding for her awards in personality. Every year the Student Body chooses one girl and one boy from the Senior Class as possessing to the greatest degree those likeable qualities which make for a charming personality. The word, personality, is hard to explain and few of us could give adequate definition. However, we are conscious of those possessing such qualities. Perhaps it is the extra hand-shake, or the ever ready smile, or a clap on the shoulder which makes them our friend. Whatever it is, we know that after all, it is the little things that go toward making life worth while. This year Dorothy Sprouse and John Forehand were chosen to receive the Personality Award, although votes were cast for others as well. Dorothy Sprouse has taken an active part in high school activities. She took the lead in this year's operetta, Lelawala, represented the Spartans in the dramatic section of the Declamation Contest, was Girls' Basket Ball Manager, Editor of Tyee Wah Wa, this last semester, was Debate Manager, and a member of the Senior Play cast, besides an honor student. John Forehand is a prominent Spartan, being Business Manager of both the Tyee Wah Wa and the Annual. He is a three-year Debate letterman, and made the first team in Football this last year. He has also taken a prominent part in musical activities being a member of the Boys' Octette, in the Operetta Cast three years, and a member of the Glee Club. He has also taken part in both Junior and Senior plays. In former years this award has gone to the following: Lorena Huson and Spencer Purvis, '27, Joan Bailey and Harold Davis, '26, Dwight Taylor and Lucile Pyles, '25. Twenty-five

The points are as follows: honor, attitude, scholarship, achieve- ment, obedience, effort, regard for others, and generosity. The origin of this memorial is a well known story to all Sumner High School students. Mr. Layhue was a former superintendent of the Sumner Schools and died while in office. He was so well beloved by all that Mr. Case, a former Sumner citizen, decided to donate a cup to perpetuate his memory. On this cup was engraved the names of those chosen from year to year, as an annual reminder of the qualities of character for which Mr. Layhue stood. This year the names of Freda Roesli and james Chandler have been engraved upon the Layhue Cup. By her faithfulness and regard for others, Freda has won many friends. She is Girls' Club president, a two year letterman in debate, and has played three years on the Girls' Basket ball team. This year she is on the staffs of Tyee Wah Wa and The Spartan. James Chandler has been a worthy Spartan and has been active as president of the Student Body, a three year debate letterman, and as editor last semester of Tyee Wah Wa. He has taken part three years in declamation and is on the staff of The Spartan. These are but a few of the various activities in which he has participated. In former years this honor has been won by the following students: Gerald Hart, '20, Alpha Beaughan, '21, Lyle Goss, '22, Jean lVIacLachlan, '23, Dean Taylor, '24, Kenneth Vittetoe, '25, Don Darrow, '26, Mamie Baker and Harry Kuhn, '27, Freda Roesli and james Chandler, '28. Last year it was learned that the donor wished both a boy and a girl to be chosen, so from then on both were chosen. Twenty-four
