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.

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 ,, .

I will be heardiv Characteristic Occupation: Arguing politics in favor of the Democrats. Suppressed Desire: To he governor of Virginia. Occupation ten years from now: Au every day poli- tician. 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.

M. W B t, . . MARIETTA DICKEN SON XVith malice toward none, Vxfith charity for all. Characteristic Occupation: Talking to Fred. Supprcssed Desire: To be a zibrarian. Occupation ten years from now: Reading a book in her own home. Activities : Latin Club, '27, '28 French Club, '30 Athletic Association, '30 Here's to Marietta, our quiet, dignified, little blonde. She has blazed a well-rcmenibcred trail through her four years in high school and bordered it with numerous A's and B's. At all our games Marietta is there, rain or shine. She cheers our football tean1-and espec- ially the captain. , And speaking of captains, that makes us think about Marietta's desire to go to Europe in 1936. Since Fred has been such a successful cap- tain ol' our team maybe his success will continue and he will be captain of a ship and incidentally of Marieltafs heart. Then she will get her long wished-for trip abroad. Marietta, we'rc wishing you good fortune and success next year at H. T. C. and all the years to come. s fl z.,-msg. is ff:-Pi 'L' sys ,X is V' mi 1 ' 'Qi WALTER TURNER Stick to what you start. Characteristic Occupation: Chewing the rag about noth- ing.

He is a boy who can be depended upon in every way. He is always out for practice in whatever sport he goes out for. Ile has been out for football, basketball, and track for the last two years. Even though he did not make his letter the first year, he stuck every evening for prac- tice and iinally got his letter. Not only in sports, but in classes he has made a good record, also everyone seems to like him and he is always right on the spot for some fun. VValter expects to go to V. M. I. next year for electrical engineering. NVe know he is going to make a good cadet in more ways than one. Here is luck to you, old boy, in your classes and whatever sports you go out for. gm imma is .. B E , ,A W :mats A ,, gs: , sirseerws New 3, MU.. sta L .

Characteristic Occupation: Pretending she's hard-boiled. Suppressed Desire: To be a kindergarten teacher. Occupation ten years from now: Taking care of her own home. Activities: French Club, '30 Glee Club, '27 Latin Club,'27 How Margaret delights in saying things to shock prosaic people! XYhen we hear the familiar remark, I wish this old town would burn up so I could end! we just laugh, for we know that, should such a thing happen, Margaret would be the Iirst one on the spot with a bucket ol' water. XVc'rc learn- ed to take these startling state- ments that Margaret shoots at us just as she means them- to mean nothing at all. Thatts what we like about her-she says and does such unexpected things that it is impossible for a dull minute to pass in her company. NVhen Margaret isn't cutt- ing up, wc see the serious side ol' her nature and learn to value one who can be loads of fun, but at the same time ai. sincere and depcnflable friend. go away for the week
