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.

Activities : Football squad, '28 Football letter man, '29 Basketball letter man, '29, '30 Track team, '28, '29, '30 NVe have a tall, neat-looking boy here at school-VValter Turner. 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.

H. -' MARGARET THOMPSON Tell you what I like the best- 'Long about knee-deep in June, 'Bout the time strawberries melts O11 the vine-some afternoon Like to J'es' git out and rest, And not work at nothing' else! 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

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.

Occupation ten years from now: French teacher. Activities : Latin Club, 527 French Club, '30 Mary hy name and merry by nature! At least, she is usual- ly merry. Occasionally a cloud crosses her face, for she has a wee bit of temper, but hav- en't we all? Soon it passes and Mary is merry again. I1 there is any fun going on, you may be sure that Mary is in it. Every one will tell you that her giggles are very contagious. She likes sports too, for nearly all the games have l'ou.nq1 her present. You know Mary is stuclious, l'or scarcely a month passes that her name does not appear on the honor roll. Whoever sails the sea of matrimonyn with Mary will discover her ability to sling a mean dish- ragf' her skill in cooking hav- ing been revealed in Home Ee. classes. XVe understand that she is going to S. T. C. next year. The high school hates to lose you, Mary, and we wish you success in all that you under- take. t, M ,, L EXVIS HAROLD LEE Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice. Characteristic Occupation: Translating French. Suppressed Desire: To be Postmaster General. Occupation ten years from now: Stamp Dispenser. Hereis to Harold-an A man. He spent much time studying but much more help- ing others. Before he left in February, 2.-X French niet twice it day-once at Ha1'old's desk and once in the class room. And before history tests boys were lined up outside his house waiting for room on the inside. Is sucl1 a willing hand regretted?' Nay, more, it is mourned with weeping and wailing 'and lower g1'ades. And in years to come when We buy our stamps of Harold, we may rest assured that they will be of the best quality and ot' the rare variety that stick! Q s E if we 1. my ess .il ..s.,,.m... s .

Occupation ten years from now: Studylng astronomical Lnathematics. Margaret sings Home Sweet Home in St. Michaels, Mary- land. Though she didn't east her fate with our class till the fall ot' '28, she's proved to be one of the best sports H. H. S. has had. She's always helping folks find the silver lining to their clouds-be they English, his- tory, or just every-day mis- haps. There's something sun- ny ahout l1er disposition that makes Old Sol hide his face in shame at times. Even though Margaret hasn't gone' out for any sport, shc's supported the Blue and Wlllte loyally rain or shine, through her cheering she's helped our team nidke that last point that puts us over the top. We don't know what Mar- garet intends to do, but wetre sure that if she gets behind it with all her pep and energy, she'll be a great success.
