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

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

WALTER LEE SIMMONS Vice-President Class ' 20, Vice-President Kip- ling Literary Society ' 19- ' 20, Cartoonist, Ath- letic Association ' 19- ' 20, Composer of Song. Age, 16; Height, 5 ' 8 ; Weight, 129. The whole class was dismayed when, in the midst of their work on the Annual, they heard that Walter was ill. They depended on him, not only to draw cartoons, reel off free verse, typewrite copy — but to divert the mind of an irate teacher when somebody failed to write an English theme. Luckily, in the nick of time, three days be- fore the Tar-bo-rah went to press, he came back with an affluence (short for after-flu- ence) of energy, high spirits, and new ideas. There is a bit of deviltry behind this mild exterior. Class Song W e ve finished now our home-school days, And soon apart will roam; But we ' ll live them o ' er in a thousand ways In the days which are to come. CHORUS So, Farewell to the privileges enjoyed by us all; Good-bye, old T. H. S. — we leave you in the fall. No matter how the storms may cast Us on the rocks of toil, We ' ll hold the motto of ' 20 fast, And never let it spoil. Page Seventeen
