NANNIE DORA SAUNDERS “Nan” “Her actions are modest, her words discreet . Athletic Association, ’24- ' 25; Spanish Club. ' 25-’26. Nannie has never been known to hurry, but that doesn ' t mean she’s lazy. No—not a bit. She simply takes her own sweet time about everything, but always comes out at the big end of the horn. Nan¬ nie doesn ' t believe in bluffing—neither do the rest of the Seniors. If she knows anything, she lets us know it; if she doesn’t know, she keeps quiet. ANNE FRANCES SIMPKINS “Chick” “Always laughing, always gay, Goes Anne Simpkins along tier way.” Journalism Club, ’24-’25- ' 2(i ; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society. ’24-’25-’2G; Winifred Fales Club, ' 24; Treasurer Winifred Fales Club, ' 25; Glee Club, ' 25- ' 26; Athletic Association. ' 25; President Winifred Fales Club, ' 26; French Club, ’26; Treasurer Boost¬ ers Club, ’26. Anne keeps us laughing all the time and the funniest part is that she never understands what we are laughing at. She is a fine debator. If you want to be convinced in spite of yourself, just go to Anne. She can do it. There are very few who can stand up under her wilting arguments. EVELYN ELLIOTT SLEDGE “Eire” “Her ways are the ways of pleasantness.” Latin Club, ’24-’26; Athletic Association, ’24- ' 25; French Club, ' 26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26. Evelyn came to us two years ago from Accomac County to complete her high school education. Al¬ though she came from a county where the growing of potatoes is the chief enterprise, she has easily adapted herself to our Crabber atmosphere. Evelyn is usually ahead of the rest of us in her school work. The fact that her name is found on the term honor roll is proof of this. MARGARET SMYRE “Chicken” “For she is jes ' the gentle kind, Whose nature never varies.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Latin Club, ’25- ' 26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ' 26; French Club, ' 26. Margaret is our quiet member. She would make a fine radio fan, for she’s always there to “listen in,” but she lets the others do the “broadcasting.” We think that would be a good policy for many of us. This little Quaker may yet end up on Broadway for she has already demonstrated her aptitude for {esthetic dancing.

MARGARET LEE QUINN “Red’’ “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Operetta, ’24: Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Ex¬ change Editor Pioneer, ’25; Secretary Senior Class, ’20; Boosters Club, ’26; Editor-in-Chief Pioneer, ’26; Vice-President Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26; President French Cluh, ’26. Whenever you feel something bump into you in the corridors, yelling for Chetwyn, and going like a “streak of lightning,” you know it’s Margaret Quinn. In a most exasperated way you’ll hear her say, “My conscience, isn’t yonr work for the Pioneer ready yet? Now for goodness sake, what am I going to do?” Never has such a busy body entered the doors of old H. H. S. Besides engineer¬ ing the Pioneer, this versatile lady holds many other important offices. Such an example of perpetual motion is bound to get somewhere in the world soon. We wonder where. NANCY RAINEY “Nan” “Contentment is great gain.” Commercial Club, ’23; Spanish Club. ’25- ' 26: Typist for Pioneer, ’25-’26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’25-’26. . Nancy is a quiet, demure little miss. She evi¬ dently believes in the old adage, “Young ladies (it really is ’little girls,’ but she might object to that) should be seen and not heard,” which, alas, many of her sisters do not heed. At that she is richer than a large percentage of the rest of us, if there is any truth in the other old saying, “Speech is ailvpr tmt silence is golden.” LESLIE HARRISON RITTER “Les” “Spice, good humor, and basketball — that ' s Leslie.” Athletic Association, ’23-’24-’25; Basketball Varsity, ’24-’25-’26; Glee Club, ’25-’26; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society, ’25-’26: Journalism Club. ’25-’26; French Club, ’25-’26; Secretary Boosters Club, ’26; Operetta, ’26; Winifred Fales Club. ’26; Vice-Presi¬ dent Senior Class, ’26; Manager Basketball, ’26. “Chatter, chatter, all day long.” That’s Leslie. Many a dull moment is brightened by li stening to her “chew the rag.” Leslie is foremost in all high school activities and she turns all her responsibilities into pleasures. She is an athlete of note and stars in basketball. Here’s hoping she can play the game of life as well. MARIAM ELIZABETH RUSTIN “Rusty” “Serious with the most of us, Gag with the gayest of us.” French Club, ’26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26. Miriam, a little, blue-eyed, light-haired lassie, hails from “Geo ' gia.” She has been with us only a year, but we’ve all found out what a good sport and classmate she is. Her “en’s” and “ain’s” are nearly always “ing’s,” such as “kitching” and “mounting.” “Rusty,” ole dear, we’ve been glad to have you with us and we wish you bon voyage.

VERNA MAY VAUGHAN “V. V.” “A ready smile, a happy glance .” Athletic Association, ’23 ' 2-t; Winifred Fates Club. ' 2 t-’25; Frencli Club, ' 26; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; Glee Club, ’25-’2(5. Behold our blond Verna, vivacious and happy. She surely is both. Is she dignified? Well—some! Does she like fun? We ' ll say she does! Her laugh¬ ing eyes twinkle as she goes around spreading sun¬ shine. Do you know that “V. V.” is a wonderful impersonator? If you don’t, just watch her. She’s interested, too, in Pennsylvania; we wonder why. EDNA WALTERS “Eddie” “Better to boss than to be bossed. Athletic Association, ’24-’25; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25-’26; French Club, ’25- ' 26; Presi¬ dent Latin Club, ’26. Edna is always smiling about something and is willing to share the joke with us. She does well in everything, but she’s a shining light in Latin. She should really have been a Roman; however, she does the next best thing and presides over the Latin Club. Edna is not very easily persuaded from an opinion, but we think that an asset. JESSIE WALTR1P “J ESS “A friend to me, a friend to you. She ' s your friend whate’er you do. Operetta. ’22; Athletic Association, ’22-’23-’24-’25; Commercial Club, ’24-’25; Spanish Club, ' 25- ' 26; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26. Eeverybody loves Jessie because she is Jessie. There is always much to he done in the Senior Class, and she does her share in all the work. Jessie is that quiet, studious kind, always true to her school and classmates. “Jess,” just stay as you are. and we know you’ll be a success in the ' ole world and come through with flying colors. MARGUERITE WELLS “Margie” The world is no better if we worry; Life ' s no better if we hurry.” Journalism Club, ’25-’26; Woodrow Wilson Liter¬ ary Society, ’25-’26; Boosters Club, ’26; President Spanish Club, ’26. Marguerite had enough credits to go out in Feb¬ ruary and we lost a splendid basketball player, and an excellent reader, too. She has a very even tem¬ perament and a disposition which seems to be ruffled never. She is capable of an immense amount of work, and possesses a great deal of patience.
