Theodore Bush Craft Theodore ” “My duty is done, My conscience is clear.” Industrious, pleasant, and ambitious are the adjectives which best describe Theodore. He first joined the Class of ’27 in his freshman year, as a quiet, unobtrusive student. Due to his never failing good will, he has made life friends among the pupils and teachers of L. H. S. During his high school career, he has made a good, if not a brilliant, record, and we sincerely predict a great future for him. Keep up the good work, Theodore ! Old ’27 is back- ing you ! Emma Louise Crawford “Louise” Basketball, ’23-26 ; Chorus, ’23-’25. “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” Not even the pitfalls of Math or the steep slopes of English could check Louise’s steady climb. She is unfailingly cheer- ful and efficient not only in school but outside. On the bas- ketball court we find a dependable player, ready with a strong, quick pass to tuck in a goal for old L. H. S. May you find the best of luck in the coming years ! Charles Morton Dillon “Chuck” The Echo Staff, ’25, ’27 ; Business Manager The Echo, ’26 Hi-Y, ’27 ; Hall of Fame, ’25-’2 7; Baseball, ’25-’27; Basket ball, ’25 -’27 ; Burke Debating Society, ’27 ; Football, ’26 Senior Play, ' 26-21 ; Monogram Club, ' 26-21 ; Toreadors ’26 ; Coun.ty Reading Contest, ’26 ; Executive Committee, ’24. “A simple child that lightly draws his breath.” Popularly recognized as a “hot air artist,” “Chuck” never lacks an audience for his flippancy, his wise cracks, and his weird, wild, and wonderful wails. For one to possess talent, another to possess cleverness and savoir faire is bad enough ; but for one to possess them all is an outrage. Nevertheless, here’s to you, lucky outrage, may hard luck follow you always, but never catch up with you ! Frances Marie Donald “Marie” Senior Play, ’27 ; Executive Committee, ’27 ; Chorus, ’25- ’26; The Echo Staff, ’25 -21 Hall of Fame, ’24 -’27; “The Toreador,” ’26. “Blest with that charm, the certainty to please.” As the charming Elise Challoper, as the intrepid hound of Echo news, as the “Most Beautiful” in L. H. S. Hall of Fame she has made herself a vivid personality — but just as Marie she is the best of all. Seldom does one find such a propen- sity for wit, such a happy combination of charm and ability.

Elbert Boogher Agnor “Booker” Business Manager The Crystal, ’27; Senior Play, ’27; The Echo Staff, ’25-’2 7 ; Secretary Hi-Y, ’27 ; Executive Committee, ’26; Hall of Fame, ’25, ’27; President Junior Class, ’26 ; Monogram Club, ' 27 ; Manager of Basketball, ’25- ’27 ; Burke Debating Society, ’27. “On his unembarrass’d brow Nature has written — Gentleman.” One of the “high lights” of the class of ’27 ! Why, that’s “Booker,” of course! He is a leader, an actor, a scholar, and a business man. These qualities combine to make him a “star” even in this illustrious class. Elbert, dependability, and the quality you have of combin- ing wit and humor with steadfastness and seriousness are bound to win for you, success. We, your classmates, expect great things of you, “Booker-boy.” Don’t disappoint us ! Elizabeth Christian Bell “Lib” Chorus, ' 24 -’27 ; Basketball, ’24-’25. Life’s a pleasant institution, Let us take it as it comes.” “Bell” lives by the motto that there is plenty of time for work and play. When she is so inclined, she can do anything as well as anyone else. But she has never yet let labor con- flict with pleasure. All who know her like her, because she is a good sport. But look at her practical side. It is through her efforts that this annual is a possibility. One of these days, we think she will make someone a fine housekeeper, even though she is thinking of taking a business course. Eura Bell Bradley “Lula” Chorus, ’24-’27. “Her air, her smile, her notions, Told of womanly completeness.” To be quiet and jolly, and to thrive on hilarious history classes is rather nice — but to escape the long, long list of those who add three to three incessantly, is nothing short of miraculous. “Eula” laughs and watches the heathen rave, but she does it unobstrusively — that’s the secret. We wish you the best of luck, Eura, and may you always remember the good old times we had at L. H. S! Robert Charles Childress “Bee” President of Student Body, ’27 ; Stage Manager Senior Play, ’27; The Crystal Staff, ’27; Hi-Y, ’27; Burke Debat- ing Society, ’27 ; Assistant Stage Manager Senior Play, ’26 ; Circulation Manager, The Crystal, ’26; Hall of Fame, ’25- ' 21 ; Captain Basketball, ’26, ’27 ; Basketball, ’25-’2 7 ; Captain Baseball, ’25, ’26; Baseball, ’25-’2 7; Football, ’24-’26; Track, ' 24 ; President Monogram Club, ’25 ; Monogram Club, ’25-’2 7. “To set the cause above renown, To love the game above the prize.” ’NUFF SAID!

Samuel Madison Dunlap, Jr. “Sam” Business Manager The Echo, ' 27 ; Senior Play, ' 26-27 ; Hall of Fame, 26-27 ; Monogram Club, ' 26-27 ; Hi-Y, ' 27 ; Burke Debating Society, ’27 ; The Crystal Staff, ’26; The Echo, Staff, ’26 ; Manager Football, ’26 ; Football, ’24-’26 ; Baseball, ’25-’27; Basketball, ' 26-27. “A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits.” This inimitable fun-maker joined the class of ’27 in the first grade of grammar school. He has been making the class laugh ever since. Nevertheless his activities are not confined to this lin,e. He is a stellar athlete, a business man, and an actor. When “Sam” leaves L. H. S., is there anyone who can take his place ? The memory of his antics will always cause a laugh when two members of the Class of ’27 get together. Bernardine Bervard Fox “Jack” Editor The Crystal, ’27; Senior Play, ’27; The Echo Staff, ’25-’26; Associate Editor The Crystal, ’26; Librarian, ’24- ' 26 ; Executive Committee, ’24-’25 ; Basketball, ’23-’2S ; Chorus, ' 26-27 ; Hall of Fame, ’24-’26 ; Anne Smith Scholar- ship, ’24. “Be good, sweet maid, . and let who will be clever.” Her smiles, her personality, and her merit, all go together to make Bernardine one of the ideal students of L. H. S. For four inspiring years her creditable work has put her far ahead and has won the admiration of the entire student body. “Jack,” you have smiled your way into the hearts of all who know you, and you will leave behind a host of friends. You are the kind that is hardest to find — Genuine. Alvy Grayson Johenning “Pinky” Stage Committee Senior Play, 27 ; Monogram Club, ' 26-27 ; Basketball, ’27 ; Burke Debating Society, ’27 ; Baseball, ’25- 27; Football, ' 24-25. “A red-headed, lazy, mischief - making devil from his birth.’ Stop ! Look ! Listen ! Who is that “red-headed flash” ? Here he come and there he goes. He is no other than “Pinky,” our boy with the beautiful crimson locks. He is a familiar sight to us in the classroom, at The Corner, and on the athletic field. When it comes to hurling erasers, he is surpassed by none and equalled by few. Always a constant source of fun, he will be greatly missed by all of his asso- ciates when, he goes to V. M. I. in September. Annie Katharine Lackey “Katie” Associate Editor T he Crystal, ’27 ; Senior Play, ’27 ; The Echo Staff, 27 ; Hall of Fame, 27 ; Chorus, ' 23- 27 ; Library Committee, ' 26-27 . “A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady.” Permit me to introduce to the few who do not know her “Kitty the girl who wants to be your best friend, ever ready to sympathize with and help you in your troubles. She car- ried two places in the Hall of Fame for 1927— those of “Everybody’s Friend” and the “Best-Natured Girl.” These characteristics have been a deciding factor in all her school work. Katie, it is our earnest wish that you will always be as happy apd optimistic as you try to make others.
