ERNEST CURTIS BURT “Would that each star• were a woman and I the moon.” Glee Club ’22; Manager of Basket Ball ’23; Foot¬ ball ’22; President of Literary Society ’23; Asst. Business Manager Pioneer ’22-’23; Giftorian. Curtis is one of those Seniors who likes to cut up a little, and he can do it when he gets started, too. No use to try to be serious with him for he just won’t listen to a reasonable discourse if he can pos¬ sibly get out of it. But we are glad, for what would we do if there was not someone full of fun with us? We see in Curtis the true school spirit. He has played football, basketball and backs the school in all ways—being a true Crabber, he is a ladies’ man. MIRIAM BELLE CARMEL “Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast.” Basket Ball ’23. When you hear someone just playing away on the piano, with extra pep and a tune that would make the piano stool want to dance—it’s Miriam. She is certain to win out if she continues her pres¬ ent course, for she puts exactly the same spirit and energy into everything she does as she puts in her music. Miriam is ever bubbling over with vivacity and spiritedness. MADOLYN RUSSELL CARPENTER “Smoky” “Work ' while you work and play while you play.” Glee Club ’21-’22; Operetta ’21; French Club ’23 —Secretary. Here’s to our golden haired class mate, always attractive and well dressed. Madolyn has a large number of friends because of irresistible smile and her winning personality. Being a good and willing student and friend, “Smoky” is bound to be a win¬ ner, with her valuable assets. May the world be good to you, “Smoky.” MARGARET ELIZABETH CLARKE “Cutie” “Not mastered by some modern term, not swift, nor slorv to change, but firm.” Here is a girl with a will of her own, who is pati¬ ent, earnest and deliberate. Margaret has been four years in the High School and not a complaint has been heard against her. She goes her own way and lets others go theirs. Margaret is a great talker but why hold that against her; for one knows it is much better to have a bright, talkative com¬ panion than one who sits and mopes. She must be keen of wit and quick of thought, or why do they call her “Foxy”? 9

JOHN LEMUEL BASTIAN “Johnny” “Pluto” “Why the world’s mine oyster, Which I with sword shall open.” President Student Body ’23; Football squad ’23; Minstrel ’23; Literary Editor of Pioneer ’23. Although “Johnny” has only been with us since September, coming back to Hampton High after an absence of several years, he has carved his name in the annals of fame of the “ole Hi” and in the heart of each of the students by his wit, willingness and energy as applied to everything, helping the High School. We could not leave “Johnny” without saying something of one of his biggest assets, that which makes him play leap frog so well, his “bow legs.” What makes ’em so circular “Johnny”?—Miss Wicker says it’s the “Rickets.” FRANKLIN LEE BETTS “Frank” “Laugh and the ivorld laughs with you.” Franklin is one of those Seniors who is very full of fun and always ready to participate in some sort of mischief. He intended to take a place in the business world and we know some day he will duly secure it. But he finds it awfully hard to take thing’s seriously and we wonder if he ever will. But he does take “Virginia” seriously. ELIZABETH BOYENTON “Bettie” The secret of success is constancy of purpose French Club ’23; Latin Club ’23. “Bettie’ ’is quiet but her friends are many. Her lovable disposition is her greatest asset. Never a cross word from her. A good student, hard worker and class mate, we hate to part with you, “Bettie.” KATHERINE ANNE BUCHANAN “Kackie” “Blest ivith that charm, the certainty to please.” Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23; Basket Ball ’23 —Captain; Operetta ’22. Our midget side, center and captain—just the quickest thing you ever saw. “Kackie” is always ready to play basket ball, and never tired. Often she felt her team was about to meet a defeat, but she went in to work the hardest she could to turn the game for Old Hampton High. If the game was lost, she and the team had done their best, and that was all they could do. “Kackie” gives her best to everything—that is the kind that succeeds, as she must. Best wishes “Kackie.” 8

HORTON HULL COCHNOWER “Hang sorrow! Care ivill kill a cat.” Whenever you hear some noise going on in the Senior room—look for Handsome Horton. The boys love to try and tease him but there never has been or never will come a time when they really do succeed. He’s just as good natured as he can be and because of this trait he’s liked by everyone. Best of luck, Horton, ole boy. MARGARET WILLIAMS COLEMAN “Margie” “The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness.” French Club ’23; Glee Club ’21-’22. Whenever you see “Margie” she is always smil¬ ing for she is noted for her pleasant ways. If you ever ask her if she knows her day’s lessons, “Mar¬ gie” always replies, “1 don’t know a thing,” but wait until report time comes and you can just bet she’s on the roll of honor. Keep up the good work, “Margie.” LYLA WINJANE COLONNA “Cullie” “Kewpie” “I am sure care is an enemy of life.” Class Poet; Operetta ’21-’22; French Club ’23. That sweet and serious expression of “Cullie’s” has fooled many. Lyla is just full of wit and likes good jokes. She plays the piano and when it comes to singing—she’s the class canary. Lyla is quite a composer, too, having written approximately twenty songs for the class throughout high school. A good student and hard worker is Lyla. Best wishes from the whole class, “Cullie.” FLORENCE COPELAND “Flo” “Knowledge is power, wisdom is bliss; All frivolous pastime, I dismiss.” Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Florence is one of oup silent boosters. She is very quiet—always smiling, with the best disposi¬ tion ever. She can do just as much mischief as the rest of us, but she doesn’t make nearly so much noise. Florence is a good student and does her share towards helping Hampton Hi along! The best of wishes, “Flo.” 10
