JOHN PENDLETON ELLIS ‘•Pete’’ “Is not the man of few words the best! Spanish Club, ’24-’26; Glee Club, ’24-’25; Athletic Association, ’24-’25. “Pete” is one of the best men in our class. He doesn’t shine in any particular place, but is good at everything. Besides being most scrupulously neat in everything, he is just as scrupulously thorough. Things that are left to him to be done are usually done right on time. WILLIAM CLARENCE GARDNER “Bus” “Better a man blush than turn pale.” Football Squad, ’23; Football Varsity, ’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24-’25; Glee Club, ’24; Minstrels, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25. “Bus” is a mixture of good looks and football ability. Yes, he even went so far as to risk his the rough and tumble game of foot- is most loyal W school board itsen. KELVIN RICHARDSON GEGGIE “Ky” “Never troubles trouble until trouble troubles him.” Latin Club, ’25; Bogs Society, ’26; Boosters Club ’26. “All right, Kalavin, me lad.” Here’s another rare specimen, a very rare one. He’s a freckled face Scotchman, jolly and generous. He ' s hard to beat. We are very sorry that he had to stop school in mid-year, but we are confident that he is making good. Straight forward—that’s Kelvin. We say straight because that’s the way we know he will go ahead in this old world. We’re right off your starboard quarter, pushing for you, “Kalavin, me lad.” MILDRED IRLENE GIST “Micky” “The sky is my limit.” Latin Club, ' 23; Athletic Association, ' 24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’24-’25- ' 26; Or¬ chestra, ’24-’25-’26; Junior Chorous, ' 25; French Club, ’26. Mildred left us in the middle of the year, alas! While here, she didn ' t do much besides get all A’s and fiddle away her time in the orchestra, but you have to admit that that’s quite a bit more than a number of us do. Calm, quiet, tall, willowy, brainy, that ' s Mildred. As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” says the old proverb, Mildred must have sowed hours of studying, for when February came around she reaped somewhere between seventeen and fifty credits.

VIRGINIA ANNE CURTIS “Brick “On with the dance, Let joy be unconfined! Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Operetta, ’24- ' 26; Glee Club, ’24-’25-’26; Appreciation Club, ’24; Junior Chorus, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25-’26; Associate Edi¬ tor Krabba, ’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Vice-President D. D. K., ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. Virginia has enough pep for three people. One of the ways in which she expresses this pep is in the terpsichorean art. Never a step too intricate, never a whirl too swift for our best dancer. You can de¬ pend on her to talk at any time or place about any¬ thing or anybody. Although she is brimming over with joy, she finds time to calmly knock off two or three A’s a month. She has a nightingale voice which she uses to advantage—even charming our “Pirate Chief.” VIRGINIA BELLE DEANE “Dinga” “She can work, she can play — The kind of a girl one loves alway .” Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Latin Club. ’24; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26 ; French Club. ’26. Virginia is a combination of rare finding. Not often do we find a good student and a good sport, too. But here we have one. “Dinga” makes us feel ashamed. No matter what we ask her to do she always answers with a good-humored “O-yea.” This will help her patients in later years, because we know “Dinga” will be as good a nurse as she is a friend. RUBY VIRGINIA DIXON “Pete” “A friend, a pal. Just my kind of a gal. Music Club, ’25-’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’25-’26; Glee Club, ’25-’26; Secretary Thomas Jefferson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Journal¬ ism Club, ’25-’26; Pioneer Staff, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ’26; Treasurer Senior Class, ’26. Ruby never shouts to tell you she’s there, she doesn’t need to. Even though she is a quiet girl, she makes herself felt. She is in almost everything that goes on. and she does her part and more. Efficiency plus—that ' s Ruby. “Pete” is a “jewel.” MALVINA VIRGINIA ELLIOTT “Sherlock” “A quiet mind is nobler than a crown. Athletic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ' 26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. Virginia lives off of trignometry. In fact she hasn ' t yet found a Math problem of any kind that she couldn’t work. But Math is only one of the many subjects that do not seem to phase her. Vir¬ ginia is a lovable companion and an interesting talker. She is also what we call a “good listener.” She doesn ' t ever seem to tire of hearing other people talk, but when she says a word we all sit up and take notice. StJohh ' iC , -ek f; s ...

WILLIAM BARTON HARTLEY “Billy” I am always in haste, bvt never in a harry. Football, ’22,-’23-’24-’25; Track Squad, ’23; Assist¬ ant Manager Football, ' 23; Basketball Squad, ’23-’24; Varsity, ’25; Vice-President Junior Class, ’25; French Club, ’25; Vice-President Boosters Club, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25-’2G; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, 25-’26; Associate Editor Krabba, ’26. Barton is one of our star athletes, having done exceptionally well in football and basketball. He is an animated correspondent with young ladies in several states—Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, and especially Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He never tires of referring to above mentioned correspond¬ ence. His big specialty is cracking jokes and some¬ times he strikes a funny one. MADELINE DOUGLAS HEYWOOD “Madge” “A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market .” Athletic Association, ’23-.’24-’25; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’24; Commercial Club, ’24; Wini¬ fred Fales Club, ’24; Glee Club, ’25-’26; Spanish Club. ’25-’26. “Madge” was given a sunny dis rw ' q he is one of o- vci tien i vtiiu niio wiything. ihat ' s tlie kind we like to see at H. H. S. “Madge” is never heard to grumble but is as sweet and lovable as any one. WALLACE HICKS “Peter” “1 seem a saint when most I play the devil. Ahtletie Association, ’22-23-’24-’25; Treasurer Class ’22; Glee Club, ’23-’24-’25-’26 ; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ’26; Business Manager Pioneer, ’26; Secretary Glee Club, ’26. Wallace came to H. H. S. when just a little mite,” but he certainly has grown since. “Peter” is our horticulturist. If he doesn’t succeed in growing a “black tulip,” the class of ’26 will be disappointed He is also our representative in the Hampton Fire Department. In addition to the above, “Peter” is a vital cog in the Senior Class machinery. We couldn’t possibly get along without him. ROSE FRENCH HOGGE “Arches” “To know her is to love her.” Vice-President Class ’22; Athletic Association, ’22- ’23-’24-’25 ; Cheer Leader, ’23-’24-’25; Operetta, ’24; Glee Club, ,’24; Secretary Class ’25; Junior Chorus, ’25; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’25-’2G ; Pioneer Staff, ’26; Winifred Fales Club, ’26; French Club, ’26. Rose is just full of school spirit. We don’t feel “all there” if “Arches” isn’t on the side lines to help us yell. Hogge” loves Home Economics, and we know she’ll make a fine little housewife. Be¬ sides being the most popular girl in H. H. S., she is the prettiest girl in the Senior Class. Rose has many talents. Her voice will bring her fame we know. We all declare Rose to be the “flower” of the Class of ’26.
