WILLIAM SOLOMON HAYDEN “Genius must be burn And never can be taught.” Treasurer Kenmore Literary Society ’24; Junior T.eague ’25; Poet of Spotlight”; Junior Class Poet; Literary Editor ‘‘Rapahanoc’’ ’25. Wh le not of ail imposing appearance, William is indeed the student, poet, and serious thinker. That doesn’t mean he can ' t laugh, for he has created many hilarious moments for us. His favorite pastimes are reading the dictionary and enjoying a few minutes ' nap in Senior History. A loyal supporter of F. II. S. and a true friend, he will long be re¬ membered b his classmates. ELIZABETH HOLLODAY CROPP. “Slow, but sure.” Athletic Association ’24, ’25; Junior League ’25; Wilson Literary Society ’24; Picture ex¬ hibition ’23. About 9:30 Elizabeth drops into class a little Hurried, but smiling. She left home early, too, so she’d be on time. Though she lives in the country, she is very faithful to F. H. S. We wish you the best of things in life, and we are sure through your perseverance you will get them. SENIOR CLASS

FRANCES VIRGINIA CLIFT “Anything for a quiet life.” Junior League ’25; Kenmore Literary Society ’24. An excellent worker, loyal friend and faithful student brings to our minds im¬ mediately Virginia. She could be none other than herself, with a pleasant greet¬ ing or thoughtful expression for the proper occasion. Because of her retiring nature, we do not know Virginia as well as we should like to. IRA DAVID GRINNAN The lad ’whose happy life Is one perpetual grin. Athletic Association ’24, ’25; Sport Editor of “Spotlight” ’24; Wilson Literary Society ’24; Football ’25; Vice-President Senior Class ’25; Editordn-Chief “Rapahanoc” ’25; Junior League ’25. Ira is a favorite with everybody. His ready help and steady work in all our school activities have won for him de¬ served mention. A friend of all and a friend to all, the ready man on all occa¬ sions, he holds a unique position which could be filled by no other. We’re all right behind him with, “Attaboy, Bravo!” XENIDRCIAXX

A MARY ALICE DAFFAN “Always in haste, blit never in a hurry.” Member Kenmore Literary Society ’23, ’24; Junior League ' 24, ’25. Here we have a rural lass from old Stafford. Mary knows how to grow vegetables and raise chickens. Her good nature and friendly spirit cannot be downed. If she has any trouble with her studies she’s going to have help if there is any one who can help her. We’re all right with you, Mary, and know that you will make good. CHARLES STRINGFELLOW HOOPER “Better go on foot than ride and turn over.” Athletic Association ' 22, ’23, ' 24, ’25; Junior League ’25; Hi-Y ’22; Wilson Literary Society ’24. Charles is a son of Caroline who comes in every day to be with us. Good nature is his most prominent characteristic. Charley is always in a pleasant humor, as if quiet liveliness were in his bones. First there is a twinkling eye, next a grin, and then a chuckle. We are glad to have h ' m, and will miss him much when he goes. SENIOR C1AXX
