MARY HESTER LEWIS Captain Basketry Club 19- ' 20, Dramatics ' 19- ' 20, Athletic Association ' 19- ' 20. Age, 17; Height, 5 ' 4 ; Weight, 115. Jimmie ' s motto in life is, Keep moving, make it snappy. Her energy expends itself in frantic talking and gesticulations, unless an essay is to be written, or a carnival to be pulled off. At such times she ' s indispensable to the class. At all times she ' s a good stu- dent and a jolly classmate. For the rest, Jimmie must have perseverance. In spite of months of defeat, she still daily and militantly attempts the feat of keeping her feet in the aisle where Walter stores his feet. Then she would talk — ye gods, how she would talk! JAMES MAYNARD KEECH Business Manager of Tar-bo-rah, Treasurer Class T8- ' 19, Treasurer Class ' 19- ' 20, Secre- tary-Treasurer Boys ' Athletic Association, Treasurer Senior Savings Society T9- ' 20, Vice- President Wilkinson Literary Society ' 19- 20, Basketball Team. Age, 17; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 130. The care-free Class of 1920 is lucky to have one sane and practical member to bear the burdens of Business Manager. Maynard ' s talents lie in many directions; he can play basketball, write poetry, and is a second Ver- non Castle in dancing. A good student, a boy of fine intelligence, he has made a success of every activity which he has undertaken. For further information about his abilities, go to Maynard himself. The best of me is diligence. Page Fourteen

BERTHA MING GODWIN Literary Society ' 19- ' 20, Basketry Club ' 19- ' 20. Age, 18; Height, 5 ' 1 ; Weight, 95. Bertha is one of the best-hearted members of our class. She is a good student, too, for she nevsr idles in her study periods and is very attentive and studious. She talks little, rarely ever expressing her opinion. Judging from her persistency and love of music, we expect great things in years to come. Well tuned silence is more eloquent than speech. HAZEL BRITTON HOARD Class Historian ' 19- ' 20, Secretary Basketry Club ' 19- ' 20, Girls ' Athletic Association ' 19- ' 20, Kipling Literary Society, Advertising Editor Tar-bo-rah ' 19- 20. Age, 17; Height, 5 ' 6 ; Weight, 110. Hazel Hoard has a very appropriate name, for we can say that she Hoards a great part of the knowledge of our class. She is the sum total of all that is dignified. She always looks as though she had just stepped out of a band- box. Her promptness is another trait, for she is there on time and with the goods. Charm strikes the eye, and merit wins the soul? ' Page Thirteen

ROSA MOYE MERCER Literary Society 19- ' 20, Basketry Club ' 19- 20, Treasurer Girls ' Athletic Association ' 19- ' 20, Class Secretary T9- ' 20, Assistant Editor Annual T9- ' 20, Secretary Senior Savings So- ciety ' 19- ' 20. Age, 16; Height, 5 ' 3% ; Weight, 110. Although the youngest in the class, Rosa can be very dignified when she wants to. The high cost of rouge never troubles her, for she always has blushes handy. These same blushes furnish a great deal of fun for the class and, if it wasn ' t for Rosa Moye ' s good disposilion, simple jokes might have disastrous endings. In the opinion of at least one member of our class, Rosa has very taking ways. I suppose because she takes kodak pictures every recess — and takes so long to get to school in the morning. A dillar, a dollar, A ten o ' clock scholar, What makes you come so soon? MARGARET QUINCY MITCHELL Treasurer Basketry Club T9- ' 20, Critic Wil- kinson Literary Society 19- ' 20. Age, 17; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 124. Let me commend to you Margaret ' s blue eyes ;. they ' ve helped us convince the merchants that it pays to advertise. She gives her phrases many a curious quirk — but she really needn ' t speak at all — let her dimples do the work. Dear me, if it had not been for Margaret ' s coy glances, in saddest state would be the Tar-bo- hah ' s finances. Good humor only teaches charms to last, Still makes new conquests and maintains the past. Page Fifteen
