MARGARET ANNE PATRICK “Pat” “The mildest manners, the gentlest heart.” Vice-President of Class ’21; Secretary ’22-’23; French Club ’23; Glee Club ’20 ’21; Operetta ’21- ’22; Historian. It would be a good thing if more of us had some of the modesty and gentleness possessed by Mar¬ garet. She is as full of fun as any one, but it never runs to boisterousness. “Pat’ is our Class His¬ torian and you just bet she is going to keep up to her old standard and make a great success with her history, as she does with everything else she at¬ tempts. ROBERT SELDEN “Bob” “Men of few words are the best.” “Up! up! my friend, and quit your books Or surely you’ll grow double, Up! up! my friends, and clear your books, Why all this toil and trouble?” Robert is one of our most studious boys. A shark in all of his courses and a star in chemistry. He is quiet, yes, until questioned in class, then he pours forth such knowledge as to make the rest of us sit up and wonder how he did it and why we didn’t. “On with your hard work, Bob, that is the right road to success.” ELIZABETH MOORE SINCLAIR “Sinky” “Oh! Lord who invented that kissin’!” Elizabeth’s nickname should have been “Giggles” instead of “Sinky,” for whenever you see her she is always laughing about something. Of course this doesn’t say she isn’t a good student—because she is, and she can always make our dull moments in school happy. On with the good work, “Sinky.” RICHARD FRANKLIN SLAUGHTER “Frank” “Custom hath made in him a -property of easiness.” Football squad ’22-’23; Baseball ‘22-’23; Min¬ strel ’23. “Frank” has made others think of him as a per¬ son that is not easily bothered. It would be well for us all if we remembered as he does that there is no need to cry over spilt milk. Frank has handled quite a number of things during his high school career and we believe ho is going out to handle just as many and handle them just as successfully as he ' has in the day of ’23. 21

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

LOIS ESTELLE SMITH “Smithy” “Night after night she sat and, blurred her eyes with books.” Secretary of Class of ’21; Operetta ’21. Lois is very quiet and studious. She hardly ever says anything in class—but she likes to have fun just as much as any of us do. She always shows careful preparation in her studies, and it is such people as this that do things. Continue the work, “Smithy” and we know you’ll come out on top. JESSE FRANCIS SQUIRE “Cowboy” “She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on.” Basketball ’22-’23; Operetta ’22; Glee Club ’22; Secretary of Athletic Association ’23; French Club ’23. “All star basketball player.” Jess is good for everything, and besides playing the game well, she is such a good sport that anywhere she goes she makes many friends. She has been a great help to the team for two years, and they certainly are going to miss her. It is going to be hard to find someone quite as athletic, for you see she was elected the most athletic girl in High School. “Cowboy,” go out and show what kind of athletes Hampton High makes. We are all behind you. GENEVIEVE LUCILLE TOPPING “Jenny” “Vieve” “Speech is silver; silence is gold.” Operetta ’20-’21. “Vieve” lives up to the lines above, saying little. But when she speaks she says something worth while, which is a great thing in, this time of all talking and little thinking. She has drifted her quiet way through the four years of High School, aiding and abetting in every way possible. Good luck, “Vieve.’ NANCY ALMIRA VAUGHAN “Nan” “Joy rises in her, like a summer morn.” Glee Club ’22; Operetta ’22; Basket Ball ’23. Indeed Nancy is full of joy and lovely friends hips all of the time. If you are looking for someone sweet, agreeable and full of fun—just find Nancy. She is every bit of this and more besides as is shown by her ready help and pluck exhibited play¬ ing basketball and in all other school activities. 22
