Twenty-seven seniors received diplomas Tuesday evening from Dr. Marion McH. Hull, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the North Avenue Presbyterian School.
I googled Dr. Hull, and found a nice little article by his grandson about him: The full name was Marion McHenry Hull. I had wondered if Marion was a woman or a man. He was a man, but he had a granddaughter named Marion. He founded the school in 1909.

Miss Kathleen Stokey won the Latin medal given annually by the Classical Society of Agnes Scott.
I don't remember my Aunt Kay ever showing any interest in Latin. I imagine her mother Kathleen (who had a BA in Latin from the University of London) encouraged and helped her, and then when Kay went on to college, she kept some of what her mother liked - i.e. Christian Science - and abandoned some - i.e. Latin. After all, Kay was determined to become a journalist, and Latin wasn't going to help her much with that.
