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. S. • i( Page Twenty-six J|«-

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 || -

3Hw. he ALE CKO ADELINE BERTHA HORTON (“Addie”) Athletic Association. Adeline is one of our quiet, shy little misses, but when she opens her mouth many words of wisdom drop out. She has been indispensable to Mr. Moncure in the office this last year. And how she can make the typewriter talk ! We are sure Miss Bretz would have been at a loss without Adeline’s quiet and capable assistance in the commer- cial room. We wish her success. WALTER TRAYNHAM HOUSTON (“Ham”) Track, 24, ’25; Assistant Manager, ’ 7. Literary Society, President, 28. Athletic Association. Can’t you just see the very devil dancing in Traynham’s eyes? Yep, Ham is always in for a good time, and somehow usually manages to have his pockets filled with oranges, apples and bananas — in fact, every- thing his pcKkets will hold, especially around noon time — we wonder ! We have to hand it to him, though ; he certainly has taken an interest in the Literary Society. Traynham, ole boy, just hook your wagon to a star, keep your seat, and dar you are. CECELIA ANN HUFTY Pep Clul). Athletic Association. Spanish Cluh, 28. Dramatics, 28. Stop! Look I Listen! A riddle! Why does Cecelia Hufty remind one of a phono- graph? Three guesses, and two of them don’t count ! That’s all right, Cecelia ; that tongue of yours is usually wagged for sen- sible reasons — and how ! Cecelia is a valu- able member of the Pep Club, which she has proved every year at the football supper, and by never missing any games of the sea- son. Will she be successful? Of course! How could she help it ! ■ [ Page Twenty-seven ]!«•
