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.

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.

ANDREW DAVIDSON HOSEY “Andy” “Whence is thy learning? Hath tliy toil o’er books consum’d the mid¬ night oil?” Orchestra, ’24-’25-’26; Athletic Association, ’24-’25; French Club, ’26; Sergeant-at-Arms French Club, ’26. “An dy” stands in the scant ranks of those who seem to have the nerve to defy the awesome faculty. He is quite a shiek and he doesn’t believe in worry or study, studying only from 7:30 p. m to about 7:31 p. m. every night. However, he manages to make most of his classes most of the time, and all of his classes occasionally. As a trombonist, he is a main¬ stay in the orchestra. ELIZABETH BAGNALL HOUSTON “Ibba” “When it comes to writing she has the rep, When it comes to life “Ibba” has the pep.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; J un ' or Chorus, ’25; Latin Club, ’25; Journalism Club, ’25; Treas¬ urer Journalism Club, ’26; Treasurer Glee Club, ’26; President D. D. K„ ’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. “Ibba” is one of the best all around girls we know. We can always have a lot of fun when she is around, because she says such witty things. She is the only one of the “Gang” that can be depended on to say the right thing at the right time. We have found this to be true in more cases than one. Ibba ' s” personality is reflected in her face, but we have only one fault to find with her. She has man¬ aged to get to school on time only twice this year. ELLEN AMELIA IRONMONGER “El” “I hate no one, I am in charity with the world.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Latin Club, ’24- ’25-’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’26; Appreciation Club, ’25-’26. Ellen is not a very ardent lover of chemistry, but perhaps she’ll be an expert teacher yet. Where Charlie B. is concerned, Ellen is interested. The Seniors are still puzzling as to who this Charlie B. might be. Ellen never laughs until every one else has stopped, and then we have to laugh all over again with her. She never hurries, but we won’t say she is lazy. She just believes that “Haste makes waste.” MARGUERITE ELIZABETH IRONMONGER “Rita” “A merry heart, a ready smile.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Vice-President Sophomore Class, ’24; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Junior Chorus, ’25; Journalism Club, ’26; French Club, ’26. Marguerite is full of pep and fun. Her “hail fellow, well met” attitude has made her popular where ever she has been. “Rita” is a good student, and it is very seldom that we see her unprepared in any of her classes. She has a great deal of origin¬ ality in drawing. Her sketches of the “Flappers” and “Cake Eaters” of this generation are very realistic and true.
