ROBERT ARTHUR, JR. “Bob ' ’ “Who mixed reason with pleasure, and wisdom with mirth, If he had any faults, he left us in doubt. ' ’ Vice-President French Club, ' 26; President Senior Class, ’20. “Bob” has been in H. H. S. one year, but he lias not left any of us in doubt as to his ability. He makes “A’s” with “E’s.” The student body tried to elect him as the most studious boy in school, but they at last decided he wasn’t as studious as he seems, but just naturally bright. Robert is also ten¬ nis champion, and he hopes to beat Bill Tilden some of these days. As our president we have given him the job of piloting the Class of ' 26 through all their trials and tribulations, and lie has succeeded. CHRIS BINGHAM “Tiny” “Never worries, seldom hurries, Yet is always ,n the lead. Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Orchestra, ’25-’26; French Club, ’24-’25; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’24-’25; Glee Club, ’2,5; Spanish Club Or¬ chestra, ’25. Chris is usually up to so mething, but he seems to get out of trouble just as easily as lie gets in. He loves music better than anything else; lie really is good on his “sax” and we hope he will be with Paul Whiteman yet. Mr. Whiteman, we are sending Chris on to you, but we wonder if he’ll get sidetracked and take up civil engineering instead. LOUISE BLOXOM “Easy” “Her virtues are many: her faults few. Athletic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. When you see Louise frowning, lie prepared for the worst- her hair is coming down. At the present it is in the outgrowing stages and it worries her nearly to death. Whenever we see Louise with an armful of books, we know the reason. At least two of her teachers are to give tests, and she isn ' t going to be unprepared. EMMA ELIZABETH BOHLKEN “Boots” “Small of stature, but not in mind. Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Latin Club. ’23; Glee Club, ’24-’25-’26; French Club, ’26; Thomas Jeffesron Literary Society, ’26. Emma is the tiniest in our class. She is a modest little maid, but you can always count on her for a good time. She does a lot to cheer up our blue” days with her smile and optimistic news. Emma’s school spirit and her size are most assuredly in inverse proportion.

FLORENCE HASKINS BRADLEY “Flo” “Oh, blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow as cheerful as today. Appreciation Club, ’23-’2f; Athletic. Association, ’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Secretary French Club, ’26. Florence believes in perpetual good humor and it really does take good humor plus endurance to struggle through four years of Math. We haven ' t decided whether “Flo” will be a business woman or a housekeeper. At present she seems very indepen¬ dent, but you never can tell. GERTRUDE VIRGINIA BROCKLEY “Gert” “Once your friend, always your friend. Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24- ' 25-’26; Ath¬ letic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ' 26. Everyone knows our “Gert!” She is a friend to everyone of us. Whenever we ask her a question, she is always ready to answer it. We have yet to see her when she is not smiling. She ' s quite sweet, quiet and refined. Here’s a girl who is not only good-natured but can keep others in a good humor. ELLEN MARIE BRUCE “Billie” “Infinite treasure in a little room. Latin Club, ’23; Commercial Club, ’24- ' 25; Spanish Club, ’25-’26. “Billie” is small and has blue eyes and pretty golden hair, that is very boyishly bobbed. ’Neath a little make-up gleams the real Billie,” ever smil¬ ing, perpetually talking. Her “honest Injun goal” is her diploma, but still it’s just the feminine nature which causes her to snatch a few flirtations on the side. DAVIS BULIFANT “Davey” “Joyous and happy, from care I am free.” Athletic Association, ’24-’26; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26; Latin Club, ’25; Orchestra, ' 25-’2G; Basketball Squad, ’25; Football Squad, ’26. Davis is a real genuine, hard-working somebody. I ' ll bet that Davis has said. “Yes, ma’am, and what can I get for you?” a thousand times if lie’s said it at all. In addition to being a member of one of Hampton’s most successful retail establishments, he is an accomplished musician. He and Max Pat¬ rick are almost inseparable, but it doesn’t seem that Max’s lack of energy has been transferred in the slightest degree.
