PETER ALOYSEUS BERGBOM “Pete” Athletic Association, ’27, ’28; Crabba Civics Club, ’28; Track Team, ’28. Peter found out early in life that he would never be a candidate for a beauty contest, so he began to aspire to intel¬ lectual honors. He always gets “A” and no Honor Roll is complete without his name. Yes, Peter knows his figures— Math, yes; Ziegfeld, well-. BALLARD ODELL BLANKS “B. B” Athletic Association, ’26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Football, ’27, ’28; French Club, ’28, ’29; Baseball, ’29. Ballard and football seem to “gee” won¬ derfully. If he keeps up his record he’ll play with Georgia Tech, some day. He specializes in sports and even plays the game of studies. Best of all Ballard likes the “game that two can play.” We hope the class prophet will predict for him the role of “efficiency expert.” DORIS BOHLKEN Athletic Association, ’27; Winifred Pales Club, ’27; Krabba Staff, ’27, ’28; Junior Chorus, ’28; French Club, ’28, ’29; Junior Red Cross, ’28, ’29. Doris knows how to “wig wag.” She would have to since that’s the only way she ever talks in study hall. Doris is our foremost artist. Scarcely a day goes by without one of her artistic posters on the bulletin board. H. H. S. will miss her. EUGENE CHARLES BRAIG “Gene” Athletic Association, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Track Squad, ’28; Football Squad, ’28; Student Council, ’28. Eugene believes that breaking a mirror is one of the worst misfortunes that can happen to a fellow, especially if it is his own mirror. No wonder, when he receives such delightful reflections! Eugene is no Narcissus, however, lolling over such re¬ flections, but is an active, well-liked senior, and it is not strange that he is attracted to the fairer sex. Vice Versa. Fifteen

MARY ROSINE BAGGETT HUGH ADAMS Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’27, ’28, ’29; Secretary, Woodrow Wilson Liter¬ ary Society, ’28, ’29; Vice-President, Com¬ mercial Club, ’27; Operetta, ’28; Glee Club, ’29; Minstrels, ’25, ’29; Football, ’28; Krabba Staff, ’27; Dramatics, ’29. Hugh is one of those delightfully genial companions, a good looking boy with red bair. Hugh talks quickly and will make a good insurance man because dull sta¬ tistics will assume a rosy glow under his original interpretation. Hugh has a great deal of the sense of the dramatic about him. Picture Hugh in the opera, “Romeo and Juliet”, with Johnny on the balcony. JOHN MINITREE ANDERSON “Jack” Treasurer, Athletic Association, ’29. Happy-go-lucky Jack, is ready to do anything—even to make the Honor Roll. He hasn ' t been in Hampton High very long, so his activities do not tell even one fourth of what he has done in high school. That’s a shame, hut each of his classmates will remember that Jack was a true sport and thoroughly on the level. “Mermie” Spanish Club, ’27; Athletic Association, ’28. Mary might really play “The Mouse” in the “Lion and the Mouse,” she is such a quiet body. She is one of our numerous young ladies who think they must learn something in high school. She has a group of confidants who know Mary’s other side and they declare she is as fine a friend as she is a student. ELEANOR MARVIN BEALE “Beale” Athletic Association, ’26, ’27, ’28; Oper¬ etta, ’27; Junior Chorus, ’28; French Club, ’28, ’29; Latin Club, ’28, ’29; Krabba Staff, ’29; Junior Red Cross, ’29. If Eleanor were asked to write a word at random on the board, one could easily guess that it would be the word, “fun.” It seems to follow Eleanor like a shadow. She gets a great deal of fun out of Latin, too. We know that if she is able to enjoy that, the other things of life must be heaven. Fourteen

RAYMOND LAFAYETTE CROCKETT “Ray” THELMA CHR1STIANE COILE Athletic Association, ’27, ’29; French Club, ’29; Thomas Jefferson Literary So¬ ciety, ’28; Secretary, Latin Club, ’29; Junior Red Cross, ’29; Junior Chorus, ’28; Associate Editor, Krabba, ’29. Thelma, the student and poetess! Her excellent marks in school testify to the first. She can take the commonest of earth’s treasures and put them in a realm of glory in her poetry. She is very re¬ served, but learn to know her well and you will get a g ' eat deal out of life. CATHERINE ANNE COONEY “Shug” Athletic Association, ’28, ’29; French Club, ’29; Latin Club, ’29; Junior Chorus, ’28. The only person so far recorded who would rather dance than eat is Shug. Let me tell you that she has not practised in vain, for she is almost an artist. It would be hard to find a better dancing couple than “J. R. and she. Shug has gone through her classes in fine style. It is up to the boys to find out if Shug is as sweet as her name Athletic Association. ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; Orchestra, ’25; French Club, ’28, ’29; Latin Club. ’25, ’26. Raymond is about the quietest boy in the Senior class, and he is not rivaled by many. He studies quite hard and has a lot of patience with his studies. Raymond has only a few confidants, but those few think a great deal of him, and we don’t wonder. MARY LEE DANIEL Literary Editor Krabba, ’28; Secretary 4A Class, ’28; Assistant Editor Pioneer, ’27; Athletic Association, ’26, ’27, ’28; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26, ’27; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’28; Bessie Lee Booker Journalism Club, ’27; Commercial Club, 28; Spanish Club, ’26. Mary takes school at her leisure spend¬ ing a good deal of her time in the Horary. Maybe the environment ol the library in¬ fluences her as she can give a very good book review. Mary will become a jour¬ nalist or something in that line and will make good at it, too. Sixteen
