XVho is that making all that noise as he tramps clown the corridor? Dick Lineweaver, of course.

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.

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: Football squad, '26 Fogtyball letter man '27, '28, Pres. Junior Class, '29 Art Editor ol' Taj, '29 This smiling, curly-headed young man is none other than Harry Berry. His achieve- ments are many. Harry has been on the football team for three years and he has helped to keep thc spirit ol' the team no when it seemed impossible. His work as art editor of the Taj speaks for itself. As president of the junior class, I-Harry was active in changing the style ol' the class ring, and in instigating the movement to standardize it. There are only a few who can boast of as many friends as Harry can, not only in high school but at the college. Harry expects to enter the Maryland Art School in June.

Editor-in-ehiel', Taj, '30 It is hard to realize that one so small can be so im- portant in the running ot' ac- tivities in old H. H. S., such as, playing for the important event of t11e school year-thc school playwand. getting up Taj entertainments. XVhere would the Taj be, anyway, if there were no Marlaline to chase down people during thirty-minute period in order to collect the precious dollar from which many are loath to part? The Mirror certainly re- llccts Madaline as she is, for we see her in many places. She is noted as being the most popular, most talented, and having the most individuality and personality ol' any girl in school. And in beauty, the Mirror doesn't forsake her for she is voted second as the best-looking girl among us. There is no doubt in our minds as to whether Madahne will succeed or not. Of course, we know that the future holds something good in store lor her, for one so blessed with such gifts as hers may 1'05f assured tihat they will not desert her!

Doesn't he look like one? And his looks don't de- ceive, either! For hasn't he been the .assistant editor and reviewer for the Taj? book Even this isn't an end ol' his literary work. Scan the various issues of the Taj and there you will find essays, poems, and several one-act plays and short stories by him. NVho is this ol' whom I am speaking? XVhy, XVoodrow, of course! Who else could it be? But don't think these extra activi- ties have caused him to d1'op behind in his studies. Quite the opposite! XVoodrow is one ol' the brightest in the class and has made high grades all through his high school career. It's been said that Xvoodrow has been thinking ol' going to George XVashington University at XVashington, D. C. Vtlher- ever lie goes he will make good, for he is made of the stull' that brings success.

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.
