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

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

JEFFERSON WALKER CRANDOL “Jeff” “Joyous and happy, from care I am free, Why aren’t they all contented like me?” Glee Club ’22; French Club ’23; Baseball squad ’23. Good old “Jeff” is always on the job if Hampton High is thereby benefited. In after life we can just imagine him having’ the warmest group of friends. Who wouldn’t have friends, being- un¬ selfish and bright as “Jeff” is? He has helped us remember the sunny side of life all through these years, and we bid sad adieu to him with wishes for the greatest of good luck. PAUL FULTON CROCKETT “Be a task great or small, do it well or not at all.” French Club ’23. Paul loves music better than anything else, we imagine. Oh, yes! He likes to dance too, his fav¬ orite dance being the “Squar Dance.” He is quiet and industrious, having the stuff to make him suc¬ ceed in the future. AGNES GRIGG CURTIS “Curt” “Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes.” Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Someone said that beauty was its own excuse, but “Curt” has not been content with this. Besides winning all the beauty contests we started around here, she was always on the firing line at a foot¬ ball game or anything else calling for school spirit. “Curt” has made many friends while at high school and, having made one, she is always loyal to him. Good luck, “Curt.” To know more of “Curt” ask either of two well known young men in Hampton High School. ROSELYN CUSTIS CURTIS “Bobbie” “Too low they build, ivho build beneath the sky.” Secretary of Class of ’21; Glee Club ’22; Oper¬ etta ’22; French Club ’23. “Bobbie” is the smartest person, and we are quite sure she has “hitched her wagon to a star.” She has come nigh unto attaining perfection as a student of ghastly Math. She is a Phenomemon worthy of deep study and investigation for surely the network of association fibers which run east and west, north and south in her brain must be numerous, intricate and wonderful. Seemingly quiet -and obscure, you have but to know her to find she is the “life of the party.” Good-bye and luck—-“Bobbie.” 11
