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

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

HELEN PORTER POWELL President Literary Society T9- 20, Vice-Cap- tain Basketry Club T9- ' 20, Athletic Associa- tion ' 19- ' 20, Class Prophet T9- 20. Age, 17; Height, 5 ' 2 ; Weight, 113. Helen is one of the best all-round girls you will find, and one blessed with many good traits. She has red hair, but evidently keeps the corresponding disposition well under con- trol, for she seldom gives way to it. Good- natured, but dignified, she is popular with those who know her, and will make many friends when she goes out in the world. Nothing endures but personal qualities. ' MARY COLLINS POWELL President Class T9- ' 20, President Athletic Association ' 19- 20, President Senior Savings Society T9- , 20, Secretary-Treasurer Wilkinson Literary Society T9- ' 20, Captain Girls ' Basket- ball Team, Dramatics ' 19- ' 20. Age, 16; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 124. Mary s ideal is not lower than the highest round of the ladder. Everybody admires her excellent scholarship, her dexterity on the athletic field, her dramatic talent, and her fas- cinating girlish manner. She can manage any situation, and we consider her an all- round prize. Daughter of the gods, divinely tall. Page Sixteen
