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.

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.

SCARLET AND GRAY 23 KENNETH MYERS Class President 2-4. Annual Staff 4. Class Play 3-4. Kenneth is the busiest boy in the class and certainly one of the most popular. Everyone feels that he can depend upon “Kack, and as a result he has held many responsible offices in the class. He is a good actor and was the mysterious hero in our Junior class play. Teachers and pupils, I am sure, would appreciate a record of that boy’s voice. WILLIAM PERKINS Annual Staff 4. Class Play 3-4. Class Vice-President 2-4. Senior Play Committee 4. Ring and Pin Committee 4. ‘‘Bill” is our editor and always in de¬ mand. He is very dependable and popu¬ lar with the girls. He is a walking encyclopedia of school events and every¬ one ' s affairs. If one wants to know any¬ thing, past, present or future, ask “Bill.” He is our best advisor and friend in everything; is a staunch defender of Li¬ brary rights and—oh, what a tease. MABLE PETERSON Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Glee Club 1. Basketball 4. Mable is a blue-eyed little Irish girl with fluffy light brown hair. She is ex¬ tremely good natured and is also a good student. She says that she will be a teacher in later years, but somehow we have our doubts. You know yourself that when a sweet little girl goes out into the world she usually meets a Prftice Charming, and so will Mable. LEWIS PRICE Everyone knows “Lewie.” He is the boy who believes in the proverb, “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” He is always ready with a joke and in every¬ thing he hears or sees finds some humor. From the Senior viewpoint he seems to associate with the younger set most of the time. Just the same we couldn’t do without Lewis, the humorist of the class of ’23.
