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.

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.

v if .i H 0 LLEN HELBERT Deep brown eyes running over with glecf' Characteristic Occupation: Giving freshmen girls a thrill. , Suppressed Desire: To be an electrical engineer. Occupation ten years from now: A Preacher. Activities : Latin Club, '28 Hollen is that cute, little senior with those big b1'own eyes. And do the girls fall for them? The freshmen girls are always visiting l'0OIl'l 206. XVe wonder why. It's not only the freshmen, either. The col- lege girls simply ilock to the Valley Book Shop to get him to play records for them. Hollen came to us from Bridgewater in our sophomore year and has been one of our standbys ever since, for Hol- len has brains to spare. He is one ol' the town's great fishermen, too, but he usually comes home like the rest ot' our great lishermen-empty handed, but oh, the tale he has to tell. NVQ: expect him to make a good reputation in whatever he may do, and to uphold the standard of his Alina Mater. ELIZABETH BROXVN MYERS VVhy, there is not a lord at at this moment alive More willing than she that her fellows should thrive, XVhile you a1'e abusing her thus, even now ' She would help either one ol' you out o the sloughf' Characteristic Occupation: Driving the Fort . Suppressed Desire: To be a technician. Occupation ten years from now: Teclnneian. Activities : Latin Club, '27, '28 Glee Club, '27-'30 French Club, '30 We get it rather mixed as to whether Elizabeth shall be a technician or a dietieian, but she's going to be one ol' them- at least, she says she is and we know she can do what she says. Itis rumored around that Virginia Medical will be her Alma Mater for the next year or so. XVe've heard the work there is interesting, and we know Elizabeth will have a good time taking blood tests and washing test tubes. T11c Glee Club will miss her, we know, because Elizabetlfs singing and whistling are well known. Il' you hear the latest songs along the corriders at school, you may be sure that Elizabeth is on her way. But, I do not need to intro- duce you to happy-go-lucky Liz Myers, ehicl' chaufteur oi' the blue chariot. HUGH CONRAD Keep your sunny-side up Characteristic Occupation: Vvhistling. Suppressed Desire: To be an aviator. Occupation ten years from now: Selling slices at Merit Shoe Co. Activities: French Club, '30 Hugh came to us in his sophomore year from Frank- lin, XVesl Virginia. He seemed to be quite a re- served young fellow, but closer association disclosed a fun- loving nature. As a blues chaser, Hugh's an A 1. fellow. No one is able to hold on to any grouches or blues while he is around. He always has a joke or witty re- mark which banishes our woes. He has a pleasant word and a cheery smile for every- 1Jody,all of the time. He is everybody's friend and one just can't help liking him. At the present Hugh hardly knows what profession he may follow but in whatever he un- dertakes, we believe he is sure to be a success.
