oem We are the members of this graduating class And in the years that come to pass May the successors that take our place With some honored deed, we ' ve done, come to face. The Torch has been ours; we’ve held it high In the past four years that fleeted by; We were bound together with love and honor But tonight we launch, where shall we anchor? May you that succeed us make your lives sublime And have your footprints in H.H.S.’s sands of time. Margie Ball always wears a smile: She’s continually doing things worthwhile. Lora Gay Ball is a neat brunette She’ll be a success we all can bet. Helen Belcher is intelligent and has a pleasing personality. She makes good grades in speech because of her originality. Delcie Boyd is quiet and reserved. All success life offers she deserves. Betty Call is kinda lazy Her mind, too, is a bit hazy. Vernelle Call is one of the quiet lasses Yet she makes top marks in her classes. Louise Combs obeys the Golden Rule She’s one of the quietest of the school. Gladys Grouse is always gaily She changes boy friends daily. Henrietta Davis is our basketball queen Out on the court she’s always seen. Anna Dye is short and not very tall But she’s a friend to us all. Avalene Dye is stylish and graceful As a nurse she’ll be most successful. Dallas Dye is the joking, funny guy And he’s the “apple of Red’s eye.’’ Marie Elswick is sweet and tall For her ’’Dannie’’ is sure to fall. J. C. Franks likes all the girls Especially those brunettes with curls. Dorothy Fuller is nice and blonde Of her we’re all very fond. Rush Gent, whenever work and play collide Takes play and flings work aside. Jo Ann Hart’s disposition is dear Someday we’ll lose her, we fear. Cleo Hawkins never wears a frown She’s one of the best-dressed girls in town. Patsy Hillman is the prettiest lass And the valedictorian of our class. Charlie Honaker is always doing something mean He’s about the noisest guy we’ve ever seen. Lois Honaker is planning to be a wife And work for “Nicky’’ all her life. Mary Jessee is lovable and sweet Could sweep any man off his feet. Henry Stuart “Buster’’ Johnson is popular and makes the grade; Gee! wouldn’t I like to be first on his Hit Parade! Madeline Lockhart as valedictorian was not to be surpassed And did tie with Patsy Hillman in their class. Sadie Lowe never did a thing wrong She’s been with the right gang all along. Margaret Martin just joined us this year But to all us, her presence is dear. Treva Miller has many a boy friend But she’s bound to get Rush in the end. Banna Miller is always smiling and loves to have fun For her. “Life is never over. Love is never done.’’ Idana Miller has won our love and admiration Someday she ' ll be the “First Lady of the nation. Victoria Miller is happy though the weather be stormy: She’s got a good looking boy friend in the arrrly. Clara Nell Owens is our most popular gal Everyone likes her. she’s everyone ' s pal. Ralph Reedy is our most dignified He never gets pie-eyed. Andrew Robinson is as lazy as can be How he makes those grsdes is a mystery to me. Betty Sample always wears a pleasing grin What a pleasure knowing her has been. Lawrence Slate is a “cute little chap And does he like to pinch and slap. Harriet Anne Snyder is waiting until the war is through For her Jimmie” who wears the navy blue. Dallas Starnes is a lady’s man. He has all the girls that he can. Russell Starnes is a wee bit shy But he ' s another cute little guy. Venna Steele sure does like the boys She plays with hearts as if they were toys. Ralph Steele, “Pudin”, as he is known Doesn’t want any girl for his own. Leon Street has book learning down firm But to most of us he’s just a book worm. Roy Sword is of girls so afraid But in all boys lives there’s a little maid. Howard Sykes is the boy with the “fog horn throat And does he really get my goat! Helen Taylor, her own business she does mind. If a few more of us were like her, it would be fine. Juanita is our cheerleader and wears a diamond too; And to that “certain guy she’s ever so true. Ruth Waddell is a beauty too: She’s always cheerful and never blue. Betty Lou Watson is very bright She’s always answering questions right. Bee Welch, from her there’s never a whimper It’s a mystery how she holds her temper. Estel Wells we must confess Has a smile for everyone in H. H. S. C. A. Whited is truly a Romeo For him any of us surely could go. Betty Jane Wright, in French and History is good; Probably she studies like the rest of us should. Bobby Wysor is quite the handsomest boy. He’s very likable and not at all coy. — Banna Miller
