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.

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.

24 SCARLET AND GRAY FLORENCE RAINIER Class Secretary 1. Glee Club 2-3. Class Play 4. Girl Scouts 1-2-3-4. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. There was once a description of a heroine that read something- like this: “She was a little girl, with bobbed hair and eyes of almost sapphire blue; she was wholesomely good-looking, having a manner frankly upsophisticated.” Oh, she was a dear lass, and so is our Flor¬ ence. LUCIE RAMSAY Senior Play Committee 4. Ring and Pin Committee 4. Annual Staff 4. Class Play 3. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Most pupils welcome Lucie for her cheerfulness. She seems to reflect life chiefly for the joy she finds in it, and yet with her soft, brown hair and quiet, brown eyes, she impresses one as being sweetly serious. Someone predicted that she would marry a musician and have an ideally regulated home of her own. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. LUCILLE ROBERTSON Glee Club 1-2. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Lucille, in school, is a very quiet little girl. However, reports have come to us which lead us to suspect that at other times she is quite the opposite, but let that be as it may, at least she is always busy and always cheerful. Sometime, somewhere, in this world she is going to find a place where this kind of a per¬ sonality is needed and she will fill her place successfully we know. MILDRED ROSS Mildred has been with us for four years and although she seems somewhat reserved in school, outside she is quite vivacious. Because of her good disposi¬ tion, she has won many friends here and especially in Battle Ground. She di¬ vides her attention between West La- Fayette and Battle Ground with, how¬ ever, a decided favor for the latter place.
