Senior Cl ass John Dabney Billingsley With reason firm, a determined will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” President of Senior Class, ’24; President of Junior Class, ’23; Vice-President of Athletic Association, ’23, ’24; Football, ’20, ’22, ’23; Member of Athletic Association, ’20, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; President Hi-Y, ’22; President “F” Club, ’22; Manager Basketball, ’21; Mana¬ ger Baseball, ’23, ’24; General Advertising Manager Athletics. There are always those who stand out because of their ability, and John is one of those persons. He is good natured and a friend to everyone, and has ably led our rebellious spirits for the past two years. F. H. S. says: “May the world wel¬ come a leader, and good fortune await 1 y you. Geraldine Burruss Anderson “What shall I do to he forever known, And make the age to come my own.” Business Manager “Rapahanoc,” ’24; Mana¬ ger Varsity Team, ’24; Captain Senior Bas¬ ketball Team, ’24; Sophomore Class Team, ’22; Athletic Association, ’2r, ’22, ’23, ’24; Dramatic Club, ’24. From the manner in which Geraldine has handled the financial side of this Annual, we expect her to be president of a bank some day. “Jerry” is very en¬ thusiastic and will try anything to help “old F. H. S.” Ask her if she knows a little song entitled “John B—, my Joe, John.” F. H. S. says: “Slow up on the curves, Jerry.”

Senior Class Edith Daingerfield Philips “Take it easy; have your fun, And let the old world flicker on. Dramatic Club, ’24; Athletic Association, ’20, ’21, ’23, ’24; F. II. S. Orchestra, ’21; Varsity Basketball, ’20; Tennis Club, ’21. Edith is always light hearted and in for a good time. Quick sympathy, keen wit, rare judgment (sometimes), sun¬ shine, lots of poise and personality. Take all this and that charm which is just hers, and you have this happy Senior. F. H. S. says: “If you feel like flying, try it, but always keep “Slick.” Carter Redd Rowe Hail fellow, well met.” Athletic Association Member, ’20, ’21, ’22; Secretary, ’22, ’23; President, ’23, ' 24; Foot¬ ball, ’21; Captain, ’22, ’23; Baseball, ’21, ’22; Basketball, ’22, ’23; Manager, ’23, ’24; Track, ’22; Manager, ’23; Vice-President of Senior Class; President of Latin Club; Secretary of Sophomore Class; Secretary of Hi-Y Club, ’21, ’22; Tennis Club, ’22; “F” Club, ' 22; Athletic Editor of “Rapahanoc,” ’24; Dra¬ matic Club, ’24. A finished athlete, a social lion, and an earnest student, “Rastus” is an ex¬ cellent example of what we like to boast of as a Fredericksburg High School boy. E. H. S. says: “Keep going, Carter, we believe in you.”

Senior Class Sara Franklin Willcox “Leave silence to the saints, I am but human.’’ Athletic Association, ’21, ’22, ’23, ’24; As¬ sistant Dramatic Editor of “Rapahanoc,” ’22; F. H. S. Orchestra, ’21 ; Dramatic Club, ’24. Sara works hard when she isn’t talk¬ ing to her neighbors. So full of life’s brightness is Sara, that there will be a distinct dimming in old F. H. S. when she leaves its walls. We are unable to predict Sara’s destination, but we are sure she will not disappoint us. F. H. S. says: “Remember us, old dear, and ‘bon voyage’.” Sidney Lockhart Scott “What care I if I can rest, Kill time and take life at its best?” Dramatic Club, ’24; Football Team, ’23. “Scott,” the football hero, the heart- breaker. “Scott,” the dramatic star; “Scott”-—! This boy drifted into old F. FI. S. this year and a spark of mischief, combined with some seriousness, made us mindful ot a live personality. If he continues to do things in the future as well as he has done here, we need have no fear for him, and predict that in later years noise won’t be the only thing that F. H. S. will be famous for. F. H. S. says: “So long, make the most of every day and hour.”
