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

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.

ri i - ' pENIORS mi ' 5 RACHEL EMILY McDANIEL Athletic Association, ’26, ’27, ’28; Glee Club, ’26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Music Club, ’26, ’27; Latin Club, ’26; Woodrow Wilson Lit¬ erary Society, ’26, ’27, ’28; Junior Chorus, ’28; French Club, ’29; Junior Red Cross, ’29. I’m sure you all know Rachel, or il you don’t something’s funny! And have you ever heard her shag? 1 say heard because when she and one of those Newport News boys get together, if they don’t make the floor shake! She’s satisfied with Hampton, but don’t you sometimes think she’d rather live in Phoebus? AGNES SOPHIA MILLER “Mom” Home Economics Club, ’26, ’27; Com¬ mercial Club, ’26, ’27; Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, 26, ’27, ’28; Athletic As¬ sociation, ’26, ’27, ’28, ’29; Spanish Club, ’27, ’28; Junior Chorus, ’28; Junior Red Cross, ’28, ’29. If “gentlemen prefer blondes”, then Agnes must certainly be preferred. She is fun loving and very interesting. We couldn’t possibly suggest her future. She has such a number of novel ideas; il she tried to carry them all out she d start some new philosophy. MARY ELIZABETH LUMPKIN “Joy” Home Economics, ’25, ’25, ' 27; Wood- row Wilson Literary Society, ’25, ’26; Glee Club, ’26, ’27; Commercial Club, ’26, ’27; Spanish Club, ’27, ’28; Junior Chorus, ’28. Even Mrs. Stevens can’t keep Mary and C-from t Iking in class. Mary is the flapper type, but only “Haps” at certain intervals. Some day she may be author of a Spanish textbook which she has promised to dedicate to the class. We hope Mary will become a movie actress, because we want at least one of the class to represent us at Hollywood. JEAN MARGARET McBRIDE Athletic Association, ’27, ’28; Junior Red Cross, ’29; Thomas Jefferson Literary Society, ’28; French Club, ’29. Jean is the dearest kind of a “gypsy”. She has tasted of learning in many schools. Wherever she goes she is a born leader, but she is just “Jean” north, south, east, or west. Jean’s heart and mind match her eyes, except in behavior. Wherever she may go she carries the best of wishes from all in dear old Hampton. Some day she may have a little gray home in the West. Twenty-Four
