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

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

BETTY JEAN RUSTEBERG Loquacious Rusty, able mana- ger of the patron drive for this year's Wake, has revealed her proficiency in a number of activ- ities--Art Service, the Assembly Committee, the Library Council. Her aspirations lean toward a career in fashion designing. ELLIOTT PORTER SCH ERGER Jake is a true Crab-towner, having lived here all his life. Dur- ing his four years in AHS he has shown an avid interest in sports and participated in soccer and basketball. During that time he has also favored us with a flash- ing smile and many sprightly wit- ticisms. FRANCES SCHNEIDER Blonde Fran, who wants to make use of her commercial course by getting a stenographic position, is another of our south- ern gals. She combines sports, good food, and music for her rec- reational diet. JOHN ELMER SCIBLE Jack, another native of An- napolis, has been a general course student. His post-graduation ambition is to be rich and take life easy. Do you suppose he'd tell us just how this is accom- plished? MARY JOAN NA SH ECKELLS Chemistry and journalism are the major interests of this young lady who has kept herself busy this year with two important offices- president of the Library Council and literary editor of the Wake. She plans to study agricultural chemistry, but we know she'll find time for her favorite pastime- writing poetry. 26 THEODORE LEE SAKERS Blond Teddy is the unpredict- able-sometimes talkative, some- times quiet. Radio and electrical work are the fields which have appealed to him most during his stay at AHS, while sports have been his side interest. RICHARD S. SCHIFANELLI No slacker is Dick, who has served on the Social and Student Guidance Committees as well as in the Stunt Night performance. As he is interested in physics, he will probably make use of this subject in his career. FLORENCE S. SCH RIEFER Quiet, unassuming Florence is going to make somebody a good secretary someday. She has no particular hobby, but she's partial to good music and movies. ELIZABETH SH ERMAN SEWELL Lovable, honest, sincere Betty is lbelieve it or notll a Republican Southerner. Her musical talent has been an asset to the orches- tra, her literary talent, a boon to the Wake and Tally-Hoy and her wit, a magnet to all who have met her, BEVERLEY JUNE SH ELLEY Filling a very important niche in the Class of '45 is vivacious June, whose lovely voice has given us so much pleasure and whose contribution to the work of the Library Council, the Tally-Ho, and the Assembly Committee has been so invaluable. Her bubbling hu- mor will mean smiles for many patients when she becomes a nurse.
