i . he ALE ' CKO MARGARET EMMA RUDD Pep Club. Athletic Association. Behold fargaret, an essential member of Coffman-Riidd, Inc. Margaret is a quiet, sweet, unobtrusive sort of person ; we ad- mire her for it. Margaret has always been behind A. H. S. in all her endeavors; she has done much to make our dear school a success. Lots of luck to you, Margaret, and don’t forget your old schoolmates. JAMES WHITING SAUNDERS Latin Club, ' 26. James is Miss Ficklin’s own dear little boy, for he sure does shine in English. He is a quiet, reserved youth, who has made good marks during his time at A. H. .S. He is a gentlemanly sort of a fellow until Edward comes along and whispers some- thing in his ear. Then the fun begins. We wish you plenty of luck for the future, James ! MARY ELLEN SAUNDERS Pep Club, Vice-President, ’28. Athletic Association. Dramatics, ’2fi, ’28. Latin Club, ’2f . Lasi Lap Staff, ' 28. Literary Society. Class Officer, ' 27. Mary is just so full of wiggles that when you look at her picture it, too. seems to wiggle. She is the other member of the Pickett-Saunders, Inc., two such distinctive types, but such lovable lassies ! Mary al- ways wears a smile and has something witty to say, making it fair weather, when she and her friends get together. .She is also an accomplished actress. How our ears have pricked up when we heard her name on the assembly program for a monologue! And can she dance? How about it, boys? Best of everything for you, Mary ! • i[ Page Thirly-five || -

DOROTHY AXXE RICHTMEYER (“Dotty ) Spanish Club. Pep Club. Athletic Association. Latin Clul), President. 27 ; Secretary. 2fi. Dramatics. 28. Literary Society. Rehold Miss Dignity! Dotty never laughs without thinking the matter over, and then she laughs heartily. And. oh how pretty she is! She is very firm; she knows what she wants to do, and she usually does it, regardless of the consequences. Will we ever forget on speech day in Civics when she said like a bolt out of a clear sky : “Gee, I ' m nervous !” Her grades have been excel- lent, and sbe has scored in math. What bet- ter start could anyone wish? Good wishes, Dotty, ole dear ! MARY BARBARA ROAT (“Bobbie”) Pep Club. Athletic Association. We will always remember your sweet, smiling face, Barbara, and your contagious personality. You were an excellent student, and after all, that’s what counts, doesn ' t it? If hard work and a buoyant humor spell suc- cess, then it is yours ! CATHERIXE VIRGIXIA ROBEY ( “K itty”) Hasketliall, ' 2(i, ' 27, ' 28. Pep Club. Athletic Association. “.■ in’t that grand? Yeh, that’s Kitty, we know, the minute we hear it said. These seem to be her — er — that is — well — er — fa- mous last words, we’ll call ’em. Kitty has plenty of pep, and has been an indispensable member of the basketball team. A. II. S. is losing a loyal supporter with lots of school spirit in her. She was always on hand in her little brown car to help. We know that Catherine will succeed in whatever she un- dertakes. Page Thirty-four ]| -

LENA SHAPIRO ( “Lee” ) Vice-President. Freshman Class. Pep Club. Secretary. ’28. Basketball. ’25, 26, 27, 28. French Club, ’26. Athletic Association. Lena is a real athlete and a real dandy, isn’t she, boys? What could we have done without you, your pep, your personality, your school interest, and your ability to put tbingrs over? A. H. S. is certainly losing a good sport and pal, but, please, Lena, don ' t crawl into your shell and forget us. Promise ? ELIZABETH WOLLASTON SMITH (“Betsy”) Spanish Club. Athletic Association. Pep Ciub. Literary Society. If “silence is golden,” then Elizabeth must be a millionaire. But wait until lunch, when she and Ruby get together ; then she just bubbles over. Elizabeth was unable to take a very active part in school activities, as she hails from Pohick, and the train just had to be caught. We find, though, that Pohick has at least one pretty girl. Best o’ luck, Betsy. Don’t forget us. MARSHALL WASHINGTON SMITH (“Smitty”) Athletic Association. Vice-President. Senior Class. Monogram Club, Secretary, 28. Football, ’25. 26. 27, 28. Basketball, 27, ’28. Baseball. 27. ’28. Track. ’25, 26. ’27, ’28. He’s a peach, he’s a dream, why. he’s one of the best athletes on the teams ! Mar- shall may be bashful and a wee bit shy, but when it comes to athletics he has it. Mar- shall has done more than his share to hold up his family rep ; he deserves praise for it. We know you are going to succeed. Mar- shall, but we’ll say “Best o’ luck.” Adios. Page Thirly-six ]|fr
