BETTY LEE STEVENS Food, fun, and frolic are the sovereigns in the life of com- panionable Betty, who has proc-- ticed her stenographic knowledge by typing for the Wake this year. After attending business college, she'II take up her career as c secretary. TH ELMA LOUISE STEVENS Movies and music, sports and traveling-these are the things Boots enjoys. She's particularly interested in' typing, and after graduation she'd like to join the Waves. RICHARD LEE STILL As treasurer of the Student Government, a member of the As- sembly and Social Committees, the Traffic Squad, the Library Coun- cil, and the Varsity Soccer Team, Mystery Man has displayed a calibre few of us could match. Maybe it's because we share with him a distaste for know-it-aIIs , rainy Fridays, and early rising that we cherish his acquaintance. Hawk RICHA D DAVID STINCHCOMB Sports and girls are tied for first place as the cardinal interests of jovial Richard. He has ma- jored in shop and is letting the Draft Board decide his future. SUSANNE STOKES Her friendly exuberance and charming wit have made new- comer Sue readily welcomed in AHS. In her one year here she has contributed much as a mem- ber of the literary staff of the Wake and of the National Honor Society. Friends find her full of fun and always on-the-go. GEORGE FRAN KLIN STEVENS This versatile senior would need no other claim to fame than his loyal work as assistant editor of the Wake, but he has added the Traffic Squad, Social Club, and Art Service to insure his im- mortality in AHS. West Point is his goal, and we're wishing suc- cess to a fellow we find plenty all right. HALLAM ALEXIS STEWARD Lex, who has pursued the gen- eral course in AHS, will don a Navy uniform after graduation. He's ta born mixer, ,partial to short girls and good music and allergic to homework. RAYMOND G. STINCHCOMB lf you are a good-looking girl with brains , you can be on Ray's list, for those are the requisites he must have in his feminine friends. Engines and airplanes are a delight to this mechanically minded student who is now serving in the AAF. fl, M vERNoN B. s'riNci-:coma JR. An enthusiastic interest in music plus persevering practice on his trumpet have combined to make Vernon an asset to the Or- chestra and Glee Club. Not the least of his virtues has been his never-failing reliability. MARY ELLEN STU BBS Although indifferent to the scholastic and social offerings of AHS, Mary Ellen has two activ- ities which she enjoys tremendous- ly-dancing and eating. She wants to find a job in business. 29

ADELE WAYN E SMITH The undying gratitude of the Wake Staff is due this commercial student who has done such a su- perb job as chief typist for the yearbook. We'll recommend Pud- din' not only as a good secretary but as an all-round girl whose genial and quiet manner is re- freshing. LOIS RUTH SMITH By virtue of her contributions to the Glee Club, the Assembly Committee, the Wake, and the Honor Society, Lois Ruth might be classed as one of our busiest and most competent seniors. ln the fall she'll enroll in the Women's College of the Univer- sity of North Carolina. BARBARA LEE SNAVELY Midshipmen and Academy hops have consumed so much of the time of blonde Bobbie, the little girl with the big pompadour, that school to her has been only a necessary evil. She's now headed toward the study of dress-design- ing. J EAN ETTE LOU ISE STALLI NGS In Jeanette the Class of '45 has still another who is deter- mined to become a secretary. The work which she has done for the Guidance Department and the Wake Staff this year indicates that she has real skill in this field. SARAH ANN STALLINGS The Tally-Ho, the Assembly Committee, and the Social Com- mittee are iust three of the activ- ities which have benefited from the talent of Smoky, whose con- tribution was sufficient to merit the A during her junior year. She has been an active sports- woman and hopes to be a doctor. 28 HERMAN BUCKNER SMITH Quiet and reserved Smitty has made himself useful around AHS by serving on the Traffic Squad this year. A sense of fair play, developed by an interest in sports, has made him a great friend here. It will undoubtedly be a big help in his engineering career. MARIE J ENNY SMITH Smitty, a general course stu- dent, lists as her favorite ac- tivities movies, good books, and sports. Her intense interest in the latter will prompt her to pre- pare for teaching physical educa- tion after she is graduated from AHS. ROSE ANN SPRINGFIELD Rosie's chief aim in life is hav- ing fun, and she accomplishes it by reading, writing, collecting photos, and going to the movies. After finishing her course in AHS she hopes to attend a business college. MARY LOU STALLINGS ln AHS fun-loving Pudge has chosen the Library Council and the Glee Club as her favorite ex- tra-curricular activities and sci- ence as her favorite subject. Her choice for the future is the nurs- ing profession. il' CHARLES JOSEPH STERLING We've already hung up a ser- vice star for Buckie, who is now serving with Uncle Sam's fleet. That means that we've already had time to miss his enthusiasm for out-door sports, his service on the Traffic Squad, and his quiet and thoughtul manner.

ARCHIBALD SCALES THOMPSON Archie, one of our good-looking boys, takes to math as a duck takes to water. ln fact he names trigonometry along with sports and cherry pie on his list of favorites. His heart is set on the Naval Academy. VIRGINIA MAY VICKERS Five feet two, eyes of blue describes pert little Ginny perfect- ly. ln AHS she has shone on the basketball court and has wielded a mean softball bat. A commer- cial student, she hopes to see the States by getting a job which necessitates traveling, ENID VOSE This newcomer to AHS was born in the Philippines, and from there her travels have carried her far. We'll always remember Enie for her uncanny ability to inject hu- mor in everyday occurrences. She likes to cook. Does she need any further recommendation? BETTY JAN E WASHINGTON Bet hails from way down south in North Carolina, so it's not sur- prising that she dislikes winter. She has been active in sports in AHS and has pursued the home- making course with a purpose, for her plan for the future is matri- mony. RICHARD RAYMON D WEBER Richie is the lad with a fond- ness for hot music and an abhorrence of Sinatra. He has taken the general shop course in AHS and liked mechanical draw- ing so well that he wants to be- come a draftsman. 30 NO HEYWARD BURTON TUCKER Tuck is a sports-minded indi- vidual, partial to soccer, ice-skat- ing, and bowling. Maybe it is because he was born in Annapolis that he wants to join the Navy and stay near the water. WILLIAM HENRY VIETH Bill, our Student Government President this year, needs no in- troduction. A thorough student and a good athlete, he has taken a prominent part in many phases of school life, but we'll miss es- pecially his solid drumming in the dance band. He aspires to become a West Point Cadet. ALICE MAY WAGN ER Cute, blonde, and pert Alice is particularly fond of sports, but she also finds time for dancing, hiking, and reading. She has taken the general course and as- sisted with the circulation of the yearbook this year. She hasn't de- cided whether it will be college or the Cadet Nurses' Corps next year. HAROLD BERNARD WAYSON Eastport is home to Harold, an- other shop major. While in AHS he has despised homework and loved sports as four years of par- ticipation in basketball, soccer, and softball proves. So far he has made no plan for the future. DOROTHY ELIZABETH WHITE Dot came to us in her junior year as a little southern belle and was readily welcomed be- cause she, like most of us, likes sports and dancing. The softball diamond has been like home to this commercial student, who is all set to become a secretary.
