ELIZABETH CHESEBRO LARKIN “Eee” “The merry heart and, true blue.” Elizabeth is what we may call a “good ole scout.” Whatever she undertakes she always does in the best way possible, doing- her utmost in athletics, social duties and school work. Quiet and unassum¬ ing, she has many friends in our midst. Keep the good work up “Eee”, and you will certainly profit by it some day. STUART JOSEPH LOTTIER, Jr. “Cutie” “Stu” “He hath withal a merry wit And is not shy of using it.” French Club ’23. Ha! Ha! Can’t you hear the whole class laugh¬ ing? Yes, and know just why, “Stu” is around. What would we have done without him through these four long, hard years of study? His rollick¬ ing good wit and humor have made him the life of our class. “Stu” has always been a good student and active around ole H. H. S. in every way. Good luck, “Stu”, ole boy, the Class of ’23 is behind you! CLAUDE BAXTER MARKHAM “Mark” “He never troubles trouble until trouble troubles him.” Baseball squad ’23. Baxter joined us but a few months ago, and it didn’t take us long to find out what a studious boy we had in our midst. Baxter is bashful but he gets there just the same, taking part in everything that happens along his way. On with the good work, “Mark.” FRANCES ELIZABETH MAY “Spike” “A dancing shape, an image gay To haunt, to startle and way lay.” Vice-President of Class ’19; Operetta ’20-’22; Glee Club ’20-’21; Literary Editor “Pioneer” ’23; Social Chairman of Student Body. Elizabeth is one of the best social workers we have about school. She is put on all the committees because she is such a good worker and makes things so delightful. You can always have a lot of fun when “Spike” is around. She is also very popular. If you need a sport, call on Elizabeth. If she ain’t loved by one, she’s liked by all. Bright, vivacious and stylish, she makes friends wherever she goes, and you have to step lively at H. H. S. to find a place where she isn’t. 19

RAYMOND BERNARD KIRSNER “Boogie” “Our business in the field of fight is not to question, but to prove our might.” Football Varsity, ’20-’21-’22; Glee Club ’22; Treasurer of Class ’20-’21-’22-’23; French Club ’23; Manager Basketball ’21; Minstrel ’22; Circulation Manager of “Pioneer” ’23; Asst. Business Man¬ ager of “Pioneer” ’22. “Boogie” has proven his fight by playing guard on the football field for three years and coming out with flying colors. Not only here but “Boogie” has been the dandiest treasurer. If it had not been for him keeping right behind us and pushing, prob¬ ably we wouldn’t have such a grand old class finan¬ cially. MARION KELLY “Cheese” “Ever in smiles, never dreary.” Basket Ball ’23; Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; French Club ’23. Kelly is one of the sweetest girls, and possesses a sunny, ever pleasing disposition. She has just the biggest heart imaginable and lots of good times stored up in that bright cheery head of hers. She was never known to worry—if she has it has been carefully concealed. On the whole, she’s a jolly good pal. MAYBELLE KEMP “As merry as the day is long.” When Maybelle comes ’round all things pertain¬ ing to gloom disappear, for Maybelle and gloom do not get along well together. Her wit and sunny disposition have won her many friends, and we know they will continue to do so. Her optimistic temperament comes to aid in times of trouble, bringing her through as cheerful as ever. She is always the same—today, tomorrow, and forever. KATHERINE DREW LANGHORNE “Kitty Kats” “Better be small and shine than great and cast a shadow.” French Club ’23; Latin Club ’23. “Kitty Kats” is just a wee bit of a Senior, al¬ most Tom Thumb’s double. In spite of this she makes herself both seen and heard. “Kats’ ” pleas¬ ing personality makes her liked by everyone and she’s so gay and full of fun. She tries to make you think she’s a Procrastinator, but she just fools you because what a dandy little manager of Basket Ball she made. We know that whatever her corner of Life is, it will be ever so bright. 18

CORDAY SAVAGE MEARS “The hand that hath made you fair, hath made you good.” Operetta ’21. If you want a good friend with lots of fun and the like, just go to Corday, for she is always ready to have a good time. Lessons never worry her. Maybe she studies and maybe not, but she gets there just the same. Her sincerity and frankness have won for her hosts of friends and when she leaves there will be a vacancy which can not be filled by another. JOSEPH GILBERT MERRILL “Joe Tinker” “Sportsmanship, friendship and LOVE Divinely bestow’d upon man.” Football ’20-’21-’22; Track squad ’20-21; French Club ’23. Ladies and Gentlemen, now let me present “Joe Tinker”, end on the Hampton High School Foot¬ ball Team. Observe him closely, for many of you will not have another chance to see him. His other specialties are track and literary readings. His favorite song which he sings so well is “Back There in Michigan,”—There’s a reason. CLARA LOUISE MILLER “Caveese” “It’s the songs ye sing an’ the smiles ye wear. That’s a makin’ the sun shine everywhere.” Operetta ’21-’22. Latin Club ’23, President; French Club ’23; Glee Club ’21-’22. Clara always has a smile and a cheery word for every one. She doesn’t appear to be very active, but once you get her started, you have enough laughs to keep you merry. “Caveese” is a true friend and class-mate to us all. ERNEST J. MONROE “Monnie” “Not too sober, not too gay, be wise good, fellow in every way.” French Club ’23; Minstrel ’22-’23; Business Man¬ ager “Pioneer” ’23. All hail to the business man of the Class! Some would choose to have their names written upon tables of fame, but the name of Ernest Monroe is destined to be cried out to posterity through the medium of the New York Stock Exchange. “Monnie” is the hardest and most dependable worker in our class, which is saying a lot. He stands high in his classes besides taking care of the literary societies and business part of the “Pioneer” both of which he does well. His ambition is to be a minister and he leaves us with our best wishes in his life’s noble work. 20
