ALECkO AGNES STUART FAIRFAX Pep Clul). Domestic Science Club, ’2b, ’27. Athletic Association. Did you ever see Agnes when she wasn’t talking ? We tliink she must talk even in her sleep. Agnes has been loyal to A. H. S. She is always ready to have a good time, and- to help you if she can. The last year she and Naomi were each other ' s shadows. Good luck, Agnes, and don ' t forget us. BENJAMIN FREIDSON Basketball, ’27, ’28. Athletic Association. Spanish Club. “A still tongue makes a wise head.” Such may be said of Rennie,” for he is a rather quiet student. He is bright in his classes, but that does not necessarily mean that he studies hard, as we have seen him find time for fun as well as athletics. Too bad you didn’t make the first team, Rennie.” Ole boy, we’re watcbing you. Remember the sky’s the limit. But best of luck ! CLARA MAE GOLDSWORTHY Literary Society, Vice-President, ' 28. Thrift Club. Pep Club. Athletic Association. Hats off to the “Speed Demon”! Clara has certainly made us all feel small when it comes to typing. How on earth does she get her fingers to work so fast? Sometimes we wonder, Clara, if there isn’t a certain someone whom you think of constantly? There’s always a soft, far-aw ay look in your eyes. Well, if there is, he is indeed fortu- nate, for Clara has certainly shown us that she is every ounce true-blue to whatever or whomever comes within her sphere. ■»![ Page Twenty- file || -

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 ]| -

ALE CKO CLARA ELIZABETH GROVES (“Tarwar”) French Club, ' 2( . Spanish Club, ’2S. Athletic Association. Economics Club, ' 25, ’26. Pep Club. Basketball. ’26, ’27. Isn ' t Clara just the wittiest sort of a girl? And such good company! If Clara can’t drive the blues away, you ' re ho]xdess. A. H. S. will certainly miss you, Clara, especially when it comes to supporting the games. You could always count on Clara to be right in the cheering line. Good luck, Clara ! Don’t run off and forget all of us. MARGARET LOUISE HAYDEN Pep Club. Domestic Science, ’25, ’26. Athletic Association. If still water runs deep,” then Margaret must be a regular old owl, and there must be gold at the bottom of the river. Just once in a while do we hear a tiny giggle. We do not know Margaret very well, as she has her own little circle of friends, but we de- light in having had her with us. We hope that she will change in name only. Good luck and good-bye. HORACE EDWARD HENDERSON ( Eddie”) Latin Club. Banking Council. Edward would be a preacher. He is just the type! How we liked to hear him spiel off his lessons, which he always knew — that is, if he didn’t laugh. He and James surely made a pair — one the direct antithesis of the other. In (jeometry Class Edward got so he could draw circles almost as well as Miss Cox. We know you are going to succeed, Edward, and may you always be as happy-go-lucky as you were in A. H.
