Suppressed Desire: To be a tap dancer. Occupation ten years from now: Hostess of night club. Activities : Latin Club, '27, '28 French Club, '30 Glee Club, '27 to '30 Taj staff, '30 1-Iudda, for that is her nickname, is one of the most talented members of the senior class. It' you don't believe me, just read one of those thrilling stories ot' hers that come out in almost every issue of the Taj. lt' you are feeling blue and a littlc lonely, go to Hud- da. She can cheer you up with a funny story or joke. NVhen it comes to dancing, Huclda's right there. Never is there a senior play without her adorning most of the chor- uses. NVho knows? Sometime we may sec hcr out-dancing Gilda Grey and showing Tex Guinanv how to run a night club. We don't know what Helen is planning to do next year, but we'rc sure that personality plus originality is bound to make something interesting. Never do to day what you can put oil' till tomorrow. Characteristic Occupation: l Becoming more proficient in profanity. Suppressed Desire: To be an admiral. Occupation ten years from now: A coal heaver. Activities : Member football squad, '27 Football letter man, '28, '29 Manager track team, '29 Treasurer French Club, '30 XVhere is Reid? Oh yes, here he comes down the hall. Just received a fresh new slip from the otticc for this class. Boy, does he rate? And how! Everybody knows Reid: that slow, easy-going handsome brute is always in for any kind of mischief he can cause or help cause. That head of his is full of wise cracks all ot' the time, but it doesn't crowd a bit of his intelligence out. W'e all envy the way he d.oesn't have to crack a hook to answer all the questions. He wouldn't have to know them through, because that big front he puts on would carry any bluil' through. He is good-natured, and has a pleasant disposition, which has won him many hearts, and I don't mean just those at the H. S. T. C. YVe'l1 miss Reid next year, just as we have since he linished in February. For now we have no one to run to, to read our French and solve our math. XVe are sure that he is go- ing to succeed in life just as well as hc has done in high school. A creature not too bright or good, For human nature's daily food. Characteristic Occupation: Trying to get someone to go to Lynchburg with ber. Suppressed Desire: To marry a millionaire. Occupation ten years from now: Social leader of Rich- mond, Va. Activities : Fin-at violin in VH. I-I. S. orchestra, '29, '30 Basket ball, '27, '28 Latin Club, '27, '28, '30 ' Nancy, the girl with the ttd- dte! For every theatrical pro- ject the school puts on, Nancy may he seen going to rehearsal with her violin tucked under her arm! XVc fear that the I-I. H. S. orchestra is going to be incomplete next year with Nancy far away at Randolph- Maeon. For that is the college she plans to attend. For some strange reason, Nancy seems to like colleges that are situ- ated in Lynchburg. Recently, Blacksburg has become an in- teresting plaee too. XVe insist that when Nancy has graduated from Randolph- Macon and is on that trip to Europe, she is. going to meet and marry some millionaire. This is wild. conjecture, but wouldn't Nancy be .just in her element in a stately palatieal home, entertaining at tea? Somehow, she seems to suit that. XVe-'re hoping that her future home, be it mansion or two-room ilat, will be very close to Harrisonburg and us.

XVho is that making all that noise as he tramps clown the corridor? Dick Lineweaver, of course. Maybe Dick is easy- going and a bit lazy, but he certainly has shown his school spirit and pep on the :football teaml. He is always ready for any fun that comes along and always in high spirits. XVhenever someone wants to go a place, who pops up but Dick with his Chevy ready to take him. Dick is always ready to do somebody a good turn. XVL: hear that he hasn't dc- cided to what college he is go- ing, but we do know that wherever he goes or what- ever he does, he will always make lots ol' friends.

Supprcssed Desire: To make whoopee. Occupation ten years from now: A wife. Activities: Latin Club, 27, '28 French Club, '30 Glee Club, '27, '30 Taj stall, '30 NVe're rather inclined to pity the classes that 11ave gone be- fore us a11d the ones to follow --for they couldn't boast of a member like 'Natticl Pretty Nattie -with her lovable dis- position and sweet charm and dignity-what would the class ol' '80 be without her! Nat- tie, possessing a happy nature, is always t11e kind to have aroundg it's she who reminds us ol' our neglected or forgot- ten lessons and cheers us when we'rc blue. Nattie is game for everything, and her sense of humor is very much in evidence. She can always be seen mullling a giggle in class or thoroughly enjoying the many jokes and wise cracks circulating about the school. Besides these qualities, Nat- tie has always been consider- ed unc ol' our best students, and her grades are something to he proud of. Certainly H. H. S. is sutl'er- ing a great loss, but our loss is H. T. C's gain-and we'1l say, they,re getting a line capa- ble girl.

Activities: Latin Club, '27, ,ZS Consul of Latin Club, ,30 Ass't. Joke Editor of Taj, '30 Valedictorian, '30 XVe have to rloil' our hats to Cecil Hartman., the shortest member of the senior class, and our valedictorian. Most everyone thinks that Cecil studies his head off, hut he really does not study all the time. How he manages to bring in the A's is something that not a few of us would like to know. Cecil is quite reinarkahle in working ditlicult math pro- blems and in traslating Latin. He was chosen to represent the H. H. S. in the state-wide tour- nament at Charlottesville in April. Altho we have him as Assistant Joke Editor of The Taj, he is really a very serious minded person. XVe have no doubt but that llriclgewater College will get its best student for its class of '34 in the person of Cecil Hartman. He is going to take the general academic course there. ss -is it W s A is is x sz M rs .Km was ri. gif? 1. , . 'tim mt its ssselym Es sms .si ss. ' s it ss x ,ef s nm is se a ,, .

Activities : Assistant editor of Taj, '30 Class historian, '30 Member of Latin Club, 330 In scholarship Clem ranks second among the boys Of the Class of '30. He always sticks to the task before him and has succeeded in getting an excellent percentage of A's and B's on his high school work. Though he gets along well in all his classes, he pre- fers English and history. His short stories, plays and es- says are among the best writ- ten hy high school pupils. Clem has had grit enough to take four years Latin in the face ol' diseouragenient from former pupils. I-Ie has proved to he a very etlicient assistant editor of the Taj. ' XVhenever one hears, NVell, isn't that tragic? he may be certain that Clem is around. He is always joking with some one and is ever willing to help any one with his lessons. XVe hear that Clem is going to Strayer Business College, where, wc are sure he will make a success. Yet, it is our firm opinion that he will Wllld up as a politician.
