WE - VVILLIAM ATTKISSON U f'Attc11ti0n! Here Comes Bill! By his good looks, happy laugh and pleas- ant disposition he has won his way into the hearts of the Faculty and Students, especially is he popular among the fairer sex. At first sight Bill appears dignified but after you know him awhile he is just as big a kid as the next one, especially when he is diked out in his knickers. Bill is a regular fellow and whether on the dance floor, basketball court, or in a hot political argument, he is right there. Good luck to you Bill, wherever you roam you have the best wishes of your classmates. Doius RATHHQN Doris is a mixture of fun and studious- nessg always ready to help some poor un- fortunate out of a scrape whether it be Chemistry, Latin, History or Arithmetic.

gl-Q'-g+s,5, A Nl' If fl HAWK? jfrienhsbip U I sat thinking last night of friendslzipg That quality so rare in man,- That word oft used, more often abused By mankind through a whole life's span. I dreamed of an ideal friendship, Of a life growing sweet and calm, When a mon served friends, not selfish ends, And tlze lamp and I smoked on. I pictured my friend as I'd have him, For whom I would lay down my life,' I A steadfast friend on whom to depend Thro' life's battle of storm and strife. The friendship of which I was dreaming To one so seldom eier comes, 'Tis a greater rarity than Christian charity, So the lamp and I smoked on. Lamp and Pipe, shall we stop our smoking, And give up the search in despair, Or still look 'through the leaves of Life's book Till we find such a friend somewhere? Shall we ever find one, I wonder? A friend so sturdy and strong? Yes, we will ,' some day, I weeng If not, we can dream- So the lamp and I smoked on. 13

Her fingers, however, are not the only agile part of her make up for as a debater, Marie stood first among the girls in the Class of '23, and represented VARINA creditably at the University. As the beloved president of the Senior Class, Marie has headed most of the school activities this year and her charming person- ality will always be indelible on the minds of her fellow students. Success to you Sparky and may your store of energy always be directed into worth while channels. ISABELLA HALL A W omanir Tongue N ever C eases This is true of Isabella or Izzy, as she is generally known, for arguments are her chief hobby. She may be seen all hours of the day wandering aimlessly around looking for mischief or if she is not doing that she is found in the midst of a group of students telling the latest news: for Izzy is a regular Scandal Hound. If you are ever in trouble go to Izzy and she will console you by giving you a longer list of her mis- fortunes. Besides all of this Izzy is a good stu- dent Cif she feels like workingj, and as a proof of her ability to write just read her history of our class.
