BETTY LOUVINIA PARKINSON Intramural sports, the Glee Club, and the Circulation Staff of the Wake have consumed the spare time and energies of Bets this year. Her future is a toss between nursing and secretarial work. 0 BENJAMIN NORRIS PAXSON No person bemoaned lack of school spirit more than Pax who has pursued the academic course in AHS where radio, electronics, and sports have vied for his in- terest. Upon graduation he'll be all set to serve Uncle Sam. SYLVIA D. PENNINGTON Sis is one of those rare peo- ple who actually like to write let- ters. Her fondness for people and the ease with which she makes new acquaintances should insure her a successful career as a cadet nurse. JOANNE PERRY Jody has spent her first year at AHS as a senior, but we have all become acquainted with her. Under that pretty cap of dark, naturally-curly hair is a girl who likes smooth records, good food, and the study of home economics. MERRILL WEBB PITTMAN Radio, sports, blondes, bru- nettes, and ice cream sundaes . . . these are the diversified in- terests of Pitt, an academic stu- dent. ln the future he would like to work in the field of radar or television. 24 Joi-IN ouven PARTY N J- John, whose sunny disposition and ready grin have attracted a large host of friends in AHS, has served on the Circulation Com- mittee of the Wake. Sports have interested him immensely, and he has participated in soccer, soft- ball, and basketball. His hope now is to earn the right to wear the wings of the Army Air Corps. MARION D. PENNINGTON Blonde Penny, who fills in her leisure time with dancing, read- ing, and listening to Bing Crosby, hails from Boyds, Maryland. Af- ter leaving AHS she will forsake her commercial course to become a Cadet Nurse. LLOYD EDWARD PERKINS Modest Lloyd has been ever- willing to help all. His charac- teristic quietness is not due to lack of thought, but rather to the process of accumulating it. Lloyd and his trombone will be missed greatly by the orchestra. LORRAINE WATERS PHILLIPS Lorraine has been one of the few feminine members of the Traffic Squad. As circulation manager of the Wake she did her job well, and we know she will succeed in another role, that of a Navy nurse. N ELLI E MARGARET PLANTZ Although a newcomer to Crabtown High , Nellie, with her interest in dancing, singing, and Bing Crosby has fit right into our scheme of living. She is a quiet, conscientious type who has booked college next on her sche- dule. I -I 'vi I

VIRGINIA MYERS Ginny has been a new student in AHS this year, but it hasn't taken her long to get acquainted. Next year will find her in college where she will pursue the study of art, a subject which she en- joys immensely. ROBERT RISDON NORTH, III Here is a senior who likes to dance, who enjoys long bicycle hikes, and who is fond of apple pie. lf he realizes his present am- bition, he will represent the Class of '45 in the legal profession. He is none other than our friendly, smiling Bob. JAMES ROBERT NOWELL Jim, born in Crabtown, has particularly enjoyed the wood and metal shop work in AHS. Al- though he says he despises home- work, he wants to go to college, so he has a long siege of unpleas- antness facing him. SHIRLEY ANN NYMAN Sports-loving Shirley, whose lovely hair prompted all of us to call her Blondie , has saved the game for us many times by her ex- pert pitching or clever maneuver- ing of a difficult play. ln the future she wants to be a book- keeper. JOYCE MARY PAINTER Joyce, whom most of us called Reds , has a flair for the aes- thetic which is reflected in her taste for flowers, travel, and at- tractive clothes. She seems well- fitted for her chosen career, that of an interior decorator. 'Q- JOHN LATIMER NORRIS Contributions to the work of the Glee Club, the Traffic Squad, and numerous assemblies have distin- guished Cake ' in AHS. Physics has been his main interest here, and electronics is his choice for the future. JOSEPH THOMAS NORWOOD The Navy has another recruit in spirited Doggie, a commercial student who has devoted a great deal of time to sports. We saw red every time he whizzed by and we recognized an all right guy Ln every contact we have had with im. JOHN FRANCIS NOWELL Our Nelson Eddy has not only been a mainstay in the Glee Club this year, but he has also found time to work for the Traffic Squad and Stunt Night. His per- sonality has many facets which reflect in turn a subtle humor, an unpredictable depth, and many other qualities which make him a challenging enigma to many of us. TH ERESA FRANCES OKTAVEC Terry's lively and friendly man- ner will be a great asset in her career as a nurse. She's an Artie Shaw fan and spends her leisure playing records. JACOB F. PANETTI, III As a member of the Assembly and Social Committees, the Glee Club, the Wake Staff, the Legis- lature, and the Varsity Soccer Team, Freddie has contributed more than enough to be classed with the busy seniors. His double-barrelled personality should be a decided asset in the legal profession, his chosen career. 23 fff

CHARLAINE PREWETT Bing Crosby has an ardent fan in Charlaine, a peach from Gawgia. She takes real de- light in movies and hiking and has an aversion to mathematics and olives. She hasn't decided what she'll do after leaving AHS. WILLIS FLETCHER PU RDY The sea can claim for its own this pensive lad who lists swim- ming and ocean fishing as his fa- vorite activities and the Navy as his future occupation. Willy is a general shop major who places homework first, second, and third on his list of pet peeves. -fl iii' cHAnLss B. nAwi.n-is Charlie, a whiz at math and physics and an illustrious traffic officer, plans to be a mechanical engineer some day. He finds abominable such things as langu- ages and sauerkraut, but he en- joys tremendously a good orches- tration. THELMA REGINA ROCHE Reds , a commercial student, is an avid reader. At present she is toying with two plans for the future-writing and nursing. CHARLES EDWARD ROGERS Queeny is one of our out- standing athletes, having played well for four years on the soccer and basketball teams. Weight lifting and eating, which somehow go hand in hand, are his two speci- alties. DOROTHY JEAN PU RDY Carrot-top is quite talented in art and AHS has benefited from this talent frequently as she has prepared scenery for various dramatic productions. She is un- decided about her future which is a toss-up between college and nurses' training. BENJAMIN L. RAWLINGS, JR. Bennie, a shop major, names mechanics at the top of his list of favorites, with sailing and swim- ming not far behind. No wonder then that he's planning to join the Navy after graduation! EDITHA JUNE RITTER Eddie, who has made many staunch friends during her two years in AHS, is another senior who wants to become a stenog- rapher. Her taste in food indi- cates a cosmopolitan nature, for she relishes Italian spaghetti and Chinese dishes. She has partici- pated in many sports and typed for the Wake. E. Louis ROELLE, JR. N Here's a fellow who is truly unusual-he doesn't like the girlsl His interest in music prompted him to sing with the AHS Glee Club. Undoubtedly he'll have difficulty in reconciling his love for holidays and free periods with army life. BERNARD LOUIS ROTH Bernard, one of our wittiest seniors, has had a finger in every pie-Social Club, the Wake, Traf- fic Squad, Glee Club, and assem- blies, to list just a few. To be- come a good lawyer and then to settle down in Savannah, Georgia, where he was born, are his two chief ambitions. 25 VV
