Tops in singing and dancing . . . glowing smile ... an Irish twinkle in her eyes . . . makes friends with her cheer- ful “hell-o.” Mary Monroe will have trouble finding someone to fill her place as one of the leading altos in the Glee Club. LURTY F. STRAUB, JR. “lurty” Lurty is a quiet little fellow . . . liked by all. Although he is quite weak in French, his craftsmanship is excellent. His common sense and interests in forestry should take him far. NANCY SAVILLE TOLLEY “nance” Glee Club 1; Echo Staff 4. One glance at our dark-eyed, dark-haired senior, Nance, will impress anyone that she is one of the most attractive girls in L. H. S.

GLADYS CATHERINE SMITH “GLADYS” Shy, good natured ... an envy of many when report time comes around. Her ability for learning is proven by the fact that while most of us are grumbling through the regular high school course, Gladys has completed, along with this, the business course.

Here’s to your success, “Stu,” keep the ole ball rolling. MAE BELL SMITH “MAE bell” Glee Club 1-2; Home Economics 3-4. Mae Bell’s pleasing personality and friendly disposition make her a favorite among her friends. A sense of humor . . . likes to make her own clothes . . . she’s outstanding in mechanical drawing and gives the boys plenty of competition. JOE WOMELDORF SPENCER “joe” Joe; sometimes quiet, usually not . . . detests the exercise of walking . . . and so, much to the joy of his friends, he not only rides himself but rides them also. Short, blonde and happy, Joe has always been a bright spot in our classes. He’s a good driver, and we are certain that he will drive straight throughout his life. The 1940 Crystal - Page Twenty-one
