“Thine” Glee Club, ’27, ’28, ’29; Junior Reel Cross, ’29; Civics Club, ’28; French Club, ’28, ’29; Senior Editor, Krabba Staff, ’29; Junior Chorus, ’28. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Alberthine has found some way to do a little bit of everything. She’s studious, mu¬ sical and athletic. We know she’ll always cherish the remembrances of her work as senior editor on the Krabba. Maybe (?) she’ll cherish thoughts of that scene in the Glee Club pageant, too. WALLACE HOGGE Clv ' er Leader, ’2b, ’27, ’28, ’29; Presi¬ dent Class, ’26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Treasurer, Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’25; Operetta, ’26; Assistant Business Manager, Krabba, ’26; President, Music Appreciation Club, ’26; Journalism Club, ’27; The Club, ’27; President, Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’27, ’28; Athletic Association, ’25, ’27, ’28; Operetta, ’28; Manager, Baseball, ’28. Wallace carries about all the honors of H. H. S. away with him. He has been presi¬ dent of his class from his freshman year to his senior year. It is said that Wallace’s popularity is due to his lack of interest in girls. We wonder! WALTER HOOVER Athletic Association. ’26; Football Squad, ’27. ’28; French Club, ’29. Walter has a keen sense of humor and he can even laugh over his three year struggle to get that coveted letter in football. Walter’s teachers say he does good work, which is high honor for a humorist. Like his namesakes in the White House and in every well equipped home, we predict that Walter will make a “clean-sweep” along the highways of life. JACK HORSEMAN “Horsie” Latin Club, ’26; Woodrow Wilson Liter¬ ary Society, ’27, ’28, ’29; Football, ’27, ’28; Baseball, ’28, ’29; Manager, Basketball, ’29; Athletic Council, ’29; Treasurer, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’29; Vice-President, Junior Class, ’28; Glee Club, ’26, ’27. Jack is planning to become an elevator boy. To go out with Jack is to go out with a good sport—for a good time. A little studying wouldn’t hurt him, but why worry about that? Jack is very fond of chemistry, girls, and candy. ’Nuff said! T weinty-One

FRANCES JUANITA HAWKINS ELSIE ROBINSON HARDY “Vi” French Club, ’29; Athletic Association, ’28, ’29; Civics Club, ’28, ’29. According to our dictionary: “Elsie— an interesting girl, one who is genial, loyal, timid, humorous, and original, sometimes used of one who draws well, both on paper and in a crowd.” This dic¬ tionary surely tells the truth about Elsie. I wonder whether Elsie is the one who made the bright remark that “marriage unites two complex sentences into a single paragraph.” JOHN PRESTON HARDY “J. P.” Glee Club, ’27, ’28, ’29; Athletic Asso¬ ciation, ’28, ’29; Treasurer, Senior Civics Club, ’28, ’29; Treasurer, French Club, ’28, ’29. John’s summary of the rules for living to a ripe old age is simply: “Forget every thing that doesn’t make one happy.” He almost wears upon his forehead the mystic symbol, “Don’t forget to pay your dues.” A sweet little Fre shman said, “He’s so gloriously vital.” If Hollywood ever hears of John Hardy, Ramon Navarro will sink into oblivion. “Nita” Commercial Club, ’27, ’28; Junior Red Cross, ’28, ’29. Frances likes authors such as Paul Ford, or rather she prefers books like “Janice Meridith.” Some author said that if we keep reading books of that character we will marry for love. Now we wouldn’t dis¬ courage you for the world, Frances, but remember your doom! If you do not stop eating so much candy, you will be looking for a list of successful diets instead. IDA BELL HAYWOOD Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’27; Junior Red Cross, ’28, ’29; Senior Civics Club, ’28, ’29; Basket Ball Team, ’27, ’28, ’29; Athletic Association, ’27. Ida is one of the artists of our class. She has real drawing ability. Ever notice how she draws attention? She is really a pretty picture herself. She has never drawn herself, but what about paint?

BERNARD LEE JOHNSON “Happy” Treasurer, Junior Class, ’27, ’28; Treas¬ urer, Senior Class, ’28; Treasurer, Athletic Association, ’28. Bernard lias all the instincts of a born business manager. He is an attractive young fellow, too, and will grace any hard¬ wood desk. Hampton has a large share of his attention and the next class will find it hard to secure another so active in school affairs. VIRGINIA ELIZABETH JOHNSON “Cinna” Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’26. ’27; Music Club, ’26, ’27; Thomas Jeffer¬ son Literary Society, ’28, ’29; Athletic Association, ’28, ’29; Crabba Civics Club, ’29; French Club, ’29. If one looked at Virginia when she was thinking one would imagine she was just that demure “little girl” type. However, when she happens to be day dreaming about new Ford coupes it is hard to con¬ centrate on whether “was” is transitive, in¬ transitive, or linking. Why worry anyway? SARAH JOSEPHINE HUGHES “Joe” Athletic Association, ’26, ’27, ’28, 29: French Club, ’28, ’29; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, ’25, 26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Civics Club, ’28, ’29; Basketball, ’27, ’28; Latin Club, ’24, ’25, ’26. Joe! Will you ever stop laughing? Don’t you know that “a laugh a day keeps the doctor away?” and you certainly ap¬ pear healthy! Some day you may not want to keep a doctor away. Watch out Joe! THOMAS LIN WOOD HUGHES “Linny” Athletic Association, ’27, ’28, ’29; Mammie Society, ’26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Spanish Club, ’26, ’27; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’26; Commercial Club, ’26. Take the song “The Sheik of Araby,” substitute the word Hampton for Araby and apply the new title to Mr. Linwood Hughes. Linny doesn’t like this at all, as evidenced by his activities, but it doesn’t make any difference how hard one works. For Linny, if the girls say you are a sheik once, you are a sheik always.
