SCARLET AND GRAY 25 HELEN SEMPTLL Annual Staff 4. Class Play 4. Class Secretary-Treasurer 3-4. Librarian 3-4. Helen is as well known as Mr. Gard¬ ner and her office at the end of the hall is as popular as his. Hardly a day goes by that she does not make somebody happier by her friendly advice and coun¬ sel. Helen has great literary talent. We hope she will cultivate it and dedicate her first book to the class of ’23. MARIETTA STALLARD Annual Staff 4. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. President Sunshine Society 4. Marietta is a whirlwind in the making and she always adds zest to school activ¬ ities. She has been one of the most capable presidents of the Sunshine So¬ ciety and wherever she is helps the cause along. Her ambitions for the fu¬ ture are unknown, but we hope that whatever are her desires, they may be fully and successfully realized. NEVILLE STILL Annual Staff 4. Class President 1. Convocation Committee 3. Class Play 3-4. Athletic Association President 4. Neville is one of the most likable boys of our class. He makes friends easily and is rarely seen alone. Probably that “bug” has something to do with his pop¬ ularity as he is very generous with it. It’s a secret, so don’t tell—some of us think Neville is going to be a writer, he gets so many pointers from the blonde librarian. REGGIE STILL Basketball 2-3-4. Class Play 3-4. Gala Week Committee 4. Glee Club 1-2. Class Basketball 1-2-3. Reggie came to us from England near¬ ly ten years ago and it certainly was our gain and England’s loss. He repre¬ sents the Senior class in athletics by playing center on the basketball team. He must have enjoyed his summer in England, judging by his letters to Lucie. Pie is quiet and unassuming, but we couldn’t get along without that Reggie Still.

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.

26 SCARLET AND GRAY HELEN THOMPSON Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Glee Club 1-2-3. Class President 1. Class Play 3-4. Convocation Committee 3. Helen impresses one as being rather of a Spanish type. Somehow we can picture her wearing her hair high and a big comb. She is queenly in appearance and ought to have a large old castle at her command so that she can have a beautiful background for herself. Wheth¬ er she does concert work or is a countess in Spain, we wish her all the happiness in the world. MARGARET THOMPSON Glee Club 1-2. Orchestra 3-4. Reception Committee 3. Sunshine Society 1-2-3-4. Margaret is small, but mighty. She is a sincere believer in expressing and abid¬ ing by her own decisions. She is a genius in art and music and plays only classical selections. If she is as pleasing to her future audiences as she is to her classmates, we know she will be hailed as one of America’s “Who’s Who and Why.” LOUISE WOLFF Class Play 4. Pianist Glee Club and Orchestra 3-4. Junior-Senior Reception Committee 3. Yanki-San 2. Convocation Committee 2. Louise had a host of things to do this year; she was manager of the cafeteria and manager of the Glee Club, besides being general pianist for the school. She is noted for her red—beg your pardon, I mean auburn—hair, and true to its prophecy, is sometimes fiery tempered— but, temper and all, we couldn’t do with¬ out her. BERNICE MOORE HOWARD TAYLOR
