  		Willie Mae Collard 1921 Bryan High School Yearbook Photo Bryan, Texas, USA "Billy" is a girl everybody knows by her ever-cheerful smile, and sweet disposition; she has made friends everywhere, and was elected the most popular girl in high school in '19. Billy has a wonderful voice, and she warbles like a mocking bird; without her voice, we don't know just what we could do. She has only one desire in life--most everyone knows "Billy's ambition"--but for those who do not, here goes: She wants to own a "house and lot" and -'Carr". We are all sure that in time, she will have all these, and we can only wish her the greatest happiness on earth. Otherwise, she will be an actress; 'cause we know she can be one, she demonstrated in Mr. Fletcher's room one day. Best of luck to you, "Billy."
