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.

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.

22 SCARLET AND GRAY LOUISE HIVON Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Girl Scouts 1-2-3. Basketball 1. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Louise is really more interested in ac¬ tivities outside of school than those within, so we see little of her. Her an¬ cestors were French, and from them she has inherited a fondness for gaiety. She is especially skilled in playing the piano and in doing fancy dancing. Because of her accomplishments she may be readily assured of popularity. ELIZABETH KING Gala Week Committee 4. Cafeteria Committee 4. Class Play 3. Camp Fire 2-3. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Fate sent to our class a girl who pos¬ sesses one of the most brilliant minds in the school. Her keenness of intellect has only enhanced her attractiveness by bringing out a softness of expression that belongs only to our Elizabeth. She has one of the most winning of person¬ alities and a number of lower classmen look to her as the Ideal Girl. LOUISE LESLEY Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Glee Club 1-2. Cafeteria Committee 4. Shakespeare must have been thinking of someone just like Louise when he wrote, “She is so free, so kind, so apt, so charming, so blessed a disposition, that she holds it a vice, in her goodness, not to do more than she is requested.” DOLLY MISNER Glee Club 1-2. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Dolly is one of the most energetic members of our class because after a long day of school work, she takes up new tasks by having accepted a position in a LaFayette business house. She is a blonde with a complexion that is the envy of half the high school. Her plans for the future are indefinite, but we wish her success.
