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.

“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

HUGH KNERR Civics Club, ' 29; Athletic Association, ’29. Halt! Who goes there? Quien sabe? and so forth. Maybe we should tell you, —a future General! Hugh expects to up¬ hold the honors of Hampton at West Point. Ain’t that grand, girls? He’ll make a dandy officer, but never an officer dandy. ETHNA NORENE LAWSON “Ecky” Glee Club, ‘25, ’26; Operetta, ’25; Latin Club, ’25, ’26, ’28, ’29; Athletic Association, ’27, ’28; Junior Chorus, ’28; Woodrow Wil¬ son Literary Society, ’25, ’26, ’27, ’28; French Club, ’28, ’29; President, Junior Red Cross, ’28, ’29. Ethna has an “A-sy way with her” in every class. As a fellow student said, “She gets A’s with Ease.” She is going to be a nurse, to soothe fevered brows, and quiet delirious patients. This is her only reason for holding hands. Seriously, Ethna will always find it easy hereafter to keep ahead of others because of her running start in Hampton High. VIRGINIA DUMARS LEAR “Dinc” “Skinny” Latin Club. ’26; Woodrow Wilson Liter¬ ary Society, ’26, ’27; Athletic Association, ’27; Student Council, ’28; Junior Red Cross, ' 28; Class Representative, ’28; Treasurer, Senior Class, ’28; President, French Club, ’28. Virginia is the shining example of what our high school can accomplish in the way of education. All that Virginia knows she knows well. She can not breathe in the lower altitudes of “B” and “C”. Virginia is direct in her assertions, but her common sense saves her from being bossy. ROBERT EDWARD LEE “General” Athletic Association, ’24, ’25, ’26, ’27; Latin Club, ’25; Baseball, ’29. Robert is a descendant of “Light Horse” Harry Lee, but this does not make his hat size any larger. Robert’s diminutiveness does not restrain him, for he is always right there no matter what is going on. Robert is very quiet, but in our class this is more of an asset than a liability. Twenty-Three
