JAMES FLETCHER LOGAN HUGH JACK-SON MORGAN. Jr. Entered 1944 Eflfefed 1943 Two years ago James Logan arrived at E. H. S. In those 2 years he has done much: a lot more than most boys are able to do in twice that time. Jimmy excels in many things but lessons are his strong point. Last year he averaged up in the 90's on all his exams. and this year he continued in the same way. There is seldom, if ever, a high list that does not bear his name near the top. In spite of this he takes very hard subjects and is one of 3 to take 6th math. Jimmie is also an actor. In fact an excellent actor. The 8:30 club has not put on a show as yet this year. but when it does, it is certain that Logan will play an important part and play it well. In athletics Jim's strong point is Stewart A. C. His short but well-built body can accomplish many feats of wonder on thc parallel bars, the ropes, and in wrestling. Jimmy plans to enter M. I. T. next year. He will gain honors we are sure. 2 Concluding three eventful years at E. H. S.. Hugh is reaching his goal, graduation. Hugh has been active in athletics, working on the smaller teams in football. This year found him on the varsity. but the coaches decided that he could best serve the school by coaching the 130 lb. football team. He soon showed the school that he was an ideal choice. Hugh will always be re- membered by the members of the 130 pound team for the splendid work he did with them. The season's record will attest to how well he succeeded. But he has not been idle in the schoolroom either. While not always on the high list, Hugh has turned in good work by means of real effort, He has carried out his duties as a monitor this year with credit to himself. He has gained friends because of his spirit and humor. The whole school joins in wishing Hugh success at whatever college Hugh decides to enter next year. l 'l

WILLIAM LINDSAY PAGE Entered 1942 Hailing from sunny Florida where he claims it never rains, Bill first came to this place four years ago. His friendly disposition rapidly made many friends for him. Bill himself would be the last to claim that he is smart enough to be considered brainy but the mere fact that he is graduating this year means a good deal. He is not a book worm: yet his grades are never low. This year Bill made a monitor. In this elite position he served the school well. In athletics Bill is not a whiz. but he has tried out for the smaller teams with some degree of success. Rollins, in his native state. will claim him next year and we wish him the best nf luck there. ROBERT GIBBON PENDER Entered 1943 If Gibbon Pender arrived home in some future year and found it had been destroyed by fire. his life savings were gone, and his wife had run away with the butler. he would probably Gnd some- thing to laugh about. Yes, this boy's sense of humor has won him great popularity at the E. H. S. Gib doesn't strike anyone as being the type to study. yet he always makes good grades and this year is passing very difhcult subjects. Such an easy-going person wouldn't be expected to run on a track team. But Gib runs the mile. and is quite good at it. thank you. We predict great things for this boy in future life. He has a capacity for getting along with people. Best of luck to you at Carolina U. next year, Gib. o l23l
