HAROLD WRIGHT AYRES “sweet pea” Amateur Review 2; Football 2-3-4; French Club 3; Mono- gram Club 4. Sweet Pea is our Casanova — inevitably found in the midst of a group of “ferns.” All his present time is spent between the covers of an aviation magazine, because he hopes to spend his future behind the controls of an airplane. You will fly high, Sweet Pea, and luck fly with you. RUTH AYRES Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3-4. Ruth is a quiet but friendly girl. She is a great advocate of red and white and her weaknesses consist of blond hair and blue eyes and missing school for a day or so. JAMES BRADLEY “jim” Jim Bradley came to Lexington from Wisconsin five years ago and joined a small percentage of his class mates in the eighth grade where he astounded teachers by con- sistently passing all subjects. Now Jim is leaving high school with the same record. The “Hatch Club Clarion” says Jim will attend W. L. next fall. MAY ELOISE CLEMMER “E” LOISE Basketball 1; Monogram Club 1; Glee Club 2-3; Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3; French Club 4. Eloise, the girl with a smile for everyone — always will- ing to help — has a pleasing personality and the ability to make friends. Her ambition is to be a photographer. The 1941 Crystal — Page Nine

EMILY KYLE AINSWORTH “kyle” Glee Club 1-2-3-4 (President 4); Dramatic Club 2; Amateur Review 2; Echo Staff 3; Hallowe’en Party 3; French Club 4; Hall of Fame 2-3-4. Kyle, “the Russian deb,” is the most intelligently-viva- cious fern of them all. She is always ready to try out any- thing exciting, or to teach some dunce how to play bridge, except on Sunday afternoon, which is strictly “reserved for . . . !” MARTHA ALPHIN Glee Club 2; Dilettante Club 2-3-4; Amateur Review 2. Martha — neat — tall — blushing — studious. A sweet disposi- tion — good seamstress — has a great longing for a certain Pontiac — great member of the Dilettante Club for two years. ARTHUR ANDERSON “art” Baseball 1 -2-3-4; Basketball 1-2; Amateur Review 1; Freshman Committee 4. Arthur first appeared at L. H. S. in short pants. He is the youngest one of his class and has always done well in his work. He will probably appear as a “Rat” this fall at V. M. I. AUGUSTA MERLE ARMSTRONG “burpsy” “mable” Basketball 2; Library Committee 1-2; Amateur Review 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Dilettante Club 2-3-4. A small brunette with liquid brown eyes which hold one’s attention. Whenever there is a party — or what have you — Merle usually has a hand in it. She can be serious but we mcst often find her happy-go-lucky. Ambition — Secre- tary. Page Eight — The 1941 Crystal

ANNE PENDLETON COOKE “cookie” Echo 2-3; Dramatic Club 3; Glee Club 3-4. Sweet, affectionate, adorable and agreeable are the ad- jectives which have been worn out for this purpose. Anne may be all of these but my impression of her is: Never on time, always reading, always chewing chewing gum and more than moderately intelligent. BEATRICE CRAFT “babe” “bea” Dilettante Club 2-3; Amateur Review 2. The teachers all call her Beatrice, but we all call her “Babe.” She is one of those more fortunate girls who doesn’t have to patronize the beauty parlor. Friendly disposition — quiet — love for the Army — can’t wait to tell Leola about that last letter. GEORGE PAYTON CRAFT “payton” “burr head” Monogram Club 1-2-3-4; Football 1-2-3-4. “Burr Head” is one of those easy-going big boys with an unstable voice. With his good nature, soft-speaking voice, and even temper, he is a friend to us all. HALSTEAD McCOWN DUNLAP “hal” Dependable, good looking, neat, a winning personality — outstanding student in manual training — fondness for Har- risonburg. These traits plus others go to make up Halstead, a person of whom the class of ’41 can be justly proud. Page Ten — The 1941 Crystal
