20 SCARLET AND GRAY LUCILE COFFING Class Play 4. Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Annual Staff 4. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Lucile is an accomplished musician as well as a noted artist. She is slender, a brunette and very attractive. Her ambi¬ tion soars along the heights of art. Un¬ like the traditional tale of seeing an artist established in a dreary attic of Green¬ wich Village, however, we expect to see Lucile with an established reputation and a masterpiece of painting in the near fu¬ ture. RAY COFFING Baseball 1-2-3. Glee Club 1-2-3. Orchestra 1-2-3. Class Play 3-4. Ray graduated in mid term, which was our misfortune. His sense of humor was used to great advantage in the Senior comedies, but certainly he deserved sym¬ pathy for his unfortunate love affair. Ray is one of those who help to make our class a talented one; he plays in the orchestra and in the band. All in all, we think he is a very likable boy. HELEN COOPER Gala Week Committee 4. Glee Club 1-2-3. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Helen is the comedian of our class. She is the young lady with a slight lisp, bobbed locks and a woeful afterthought of all unprepared lessons. As a rule, however, she is very conscientious in her work and at least tries to be well pre¬ pared. She has many interests aside from school and yet with all her varied activities she is a loyal supporter of all oUr enterprises. KATHRYN CORNETT Cafeteria Committee 4. Annual Staff 4. Glee Club 1. Girl Scouts 1-2-3-4. Kathryn is one of the daughters of the South. She speaks with a soft drawl that makes her speech like no one else’s. She is an industrious student to that monster master, the piano, and spends much of her time in amusing her classmates by relating funny incidents which happen in the halls of W. L.

SCARLET AND GRAY 19 EDWIN BENNETT Class Basketball 3. Class Play 3-4. Gala Week Committee 4. “Doc” is our noted villain—in plays, of course. He furnishes the wit and humor of our English class, having the faculty of being able to say funny things with a perfectly serious face. He is not noted for brilliant recitations, but is a brilliant conversationalist and we know that he can talk his way to success if he tries. HELEN BONE Class President 1. Annual Staff 4. Convocation Committee 4. Class Play 3-4. Glee Club 1-2-3-4. What a pleasure it is to know such a typical American girl. She is fond of sports such as horseback riding, skating and swimming and yet does not lose sight of the gentler arts. She is blessed with a talent for elocution and can make her audience laugh or cry as is her will. Hers is a personality that wins friends everywhere and we are glad that she is our classmate. JACK CASON Annual Staff 4. Junior Play 3. Ring and Pin Committee 4. Convocation Committee 4. Junior-Senior Reception 3. Jack is our business manager and has proved himself to be an efficient worker in the interests of the Annual. When anyone is in trouble Jack is usually called to the rescue. He always says just what he thinks and in the Library has given many lectures on the appearance of tne modern high school girl. These lectures may come out in book form and start a world reform—who knows? VIRGINIA CHENOWETH Sunshine Society 4. Class President 3—Butlerville. Class Secretary 2—Butlerville. Virginia is the dashing young lady who arrived in our midst last fall from But¬ lerville. She seems very interested in all our class affairs and from her record the Senior class of Butlerville must re¬ gret her loss. She enjoys the distinc¬ tion of being the only married girl in our class, but despite the responsibilities so entailed she is always ready to help us out when we have need of her.

SCARLET AND GRAY 21 RUTH CORNETT Annual Staff 4. Class President 3. Ring and Pin Committee 4. Class Play 3-4. To Ruth, a Girl of Many Moods We like you when you’re hap py; We love you when you’re sad, And, oh, we can’t resist you When you’re a wee bit bad. The pride of old Virginia, We’re glad you’re in our set, And hope you’ll never leave us; Th ree cheers for Ruth Cornett! LEORA EARHART Glee Club 1-2. Sunshine Society 3-4. Gala Week Committee 4. Leora seems never to have a care in this wide, wide world. She flits gaily through her classes as blithe and gay as some frivolous butterfly. She is noted for her optimism and good nature throughout all her trials and tribulations. According to Webster she might easily be described by one adjective—debonair. DWIGHT GORDON Class Basketball 1-2-3. Track 1-2-3. Glee Club 1-2. Class Play 4. “Candy” is the one student of our class who faithfully reads the news of the day and can discuss politics and things of international importance. When we are called upon to make speeches he always saves the day by talking on some sub¬ ject of world-wide importance. He has proved himself to be a good actor in the Senior play and has many friends both in and out of school. ETHYEINDE GRIGGS Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Girls Scouts 1-2-3. Class Play 4. Ethylinde is a girl who is possessed with great talent in all kinds of art. Be¬ sides being a real musician in regard to the piano, she has achieved a name for herself because of her vocal ability. Her personality is very pleasing and has made many friends for her in her cruise on the sea of school days.
