K ' l • lie ALE CKO MARGARET LUCILLE CRAIG Pep Club, ’28. Spanish Club, ' 28. Athletic Association. Margaret doesn ' t talk enough for us to know very much about her, but we know tliat she is a good student, and goes through her studies with flying colors. How we like to look at her neat work in Home Economics Class, and how we like to hear her make speeches in Civics with the little quaver in her voice. She has been very much interested in athletics, too. We are sure that you will remember Margaret among your souvenirs. ANNE FRANCES CRITZER Spanish Club. How on earth does Frances manage to have such a smooth, even temper all the time? She never seems to get excited over anything, just takes matters as they come. And does she know her lessons? Always! Preparedness for classes and the best discip- line ever was certainly the motto of Frances. Best of luck and everything good in life for you, Frances, ole girl ! ALLAN LITTLETON DENNIS (“Casey”) Basketball, ’28. Football, ' 27, ’28. Baseball, ’2b, ’27. Secretary of the Mono jram Club, ’28. Dramatics, ’27. Athletic Association. “Hoo PIoos.” B. D.’s. “Smile and the world smiles with you” surely must be Allan ' s motto, as you never see him without a cheery grin. And he is an athlete — football, basketball, and when it comes to baseball, why, he is a regular “Casey at the Bat.” We thing Allan would make a good chemist, as he is such a good mixer. You have made many friends; we all like you; may you always meet life with the same sunny attitude that you did in A. H. S. Page Twenty-three J| -

ALECKO XAOMI MADESSIA CLATTERBUCK French Club, ' 2(i. Yas, siih ! Xaoini means real sho’ nuff business ! She may be small in stature, but she makes up for this in mentality. - nd is there a book she hasn ' t read? She was a valuable member of the cooking class this year; she did her full share, and then some, at getting lunches out every day. Three rousing cheers for Xaomi ! Ve all wish you success in whatever you undertake. TRGIXIA LOUISE COFEMAX Literary Society. Pep Club. ' irginia may be quiet when a crowd’s around, hut we’re willing to bet she can be just as lively as the next one when the occa- sion demands. If we should stop to sum up all of the merits of ' irginia, it would take too much time and space. We know you will succeed, though, ' irginia. Our hearts are with you, honest ! AGXES LEE COOKSEY ( Cooky”) Pep Club. Home Kconomics Club. Spanish Club. French Club. Athletic Association. .• gncs has that gentle, sweet nature which you expect dainty people to have. She strives to do well ; she always succeeds. Have you ever heard her say a mean thing about anyone? And what better thing can you say than that ? She was an indispen- sable member of the Home Economics Class, where she learned to live up to her name. She is a gocxl pal : she has a store of fun for those who know her well. • |[ Pagt Twenty-two ]|e

ALECKQ JOHN LIVINGSTON DONIPHAN (“Jack”) Track, ' 24 , ’25, ’2(1, ’27, ’28, Football, ’25, ’2(1. Basketball, ’25, ’2(1. Cheer Leader, ’2(1, ’27, ’28. Debating Team, ’2(1, ’27. Literary Society. Monogram Club. Jack was so fond of A. H. S„ or perhaps he found so much time for fun that he stayed with us an extra year. Jack was right there when it came to cheer leading, and anything else that he undertook ! Re- member the interesting programs he got up for the Literary Society? Jack is also a famous track man; he won his letter. Don’t run away and forget us with the speed with which you flew around the track ! BEULAH GRACE DUBORG Pep Club. Spanish Club. Athletic Association. Dramatics, ’28. Advertisement Committee, Alecko. We almost believe in ghosts after seeing Beulah impersonate one so well in the senior play. How she made shrieks come forth from the audience! She may be quiet in class, but get her at a rehearsal and she’s “The Last Word. She was one of the many unbobbed who has come out victo- rious with long hair, thanks to her will power. And did her report ever show an “E or “F ? ’e’ll say they didn’t, for she got grades of which to be proud. May your smiles and success in A. H. S. con- tinue throughout life. JAMES WILLIAM FRANCIS EIRE (“Jimmy”) Literary ScKiety. Latin Club, ’28. Dramatics, ’28. News Rei orter, Last Lap, ’28. Writers Club. He seems a quiet, gentlemanly sort of fel- low, doesn’t he? Remember these lines in the play? Well, they just seem to suit James. He’s just that — and more. He’s quiet and gentlemanly, but when the occa- sion demands can talk as fluently as the next one. And he is always ready for a good time. He has never been able to go out for athletics because that train for Occoquan just had to be caught in the eve- nings. He has made up for everything in his lessons, however. Good luck to you, Jimmie ! ■»|[ Page Twenty-Sour ]| -
