LUCY SAUNDERS If you see some girl, with a nonchalant stroll, ambulating down the hall, that’s Lucy! She has a fondness for athletes, particularly basketball players. We can’t say that Lucy’s the demure type, but she is likable and has a very pleas- ing personality. No one will ever forget Lucy because she’s made her mark in these halls. ANN ELOISE TWOMBLY “twombly” “boss” Library Committee 1-2-3 (Vice-President 3); Glee Club 1 -2-3-4 (Secretary 3); Amateur Review 2; Hallowe’en Party 3; Echo Staff 3; Fren ch Club 4; Cheer Leader 4; Crystal Staff 4 (Editor-in-Chief) . Ann is the “glamour gal” of the Class of ’41. She is very fond of shiny things (brass buttons), and always has a good story to tell. Besides taking an active part in school activi- ties, she is a good sport and her naive sayings distract Miss Sieg no end. She will probably go to some Yankee school next year, but her heart will always retain the spirit of a temperamental Southern Belle. JAMES TYREE “jimmy” French Club 4. We are delighted by Jimmy’s good na ' ' ure and his al- ways prevalent bashful smile. He is a whiz in math class and fun in French class, because spelling “gets him down.” FORREST EDWARD WALKER “pig” Football 1-3-4 (Captain 4); Basketball 1-2-3-4; Baseball 2-3; Monogram Club 1-2-3-4 (Vice-President 2-3); Hall of Fame 3-4. Tall, muscular, and fun-loving are the characteristics that you will find when meeting “Pig.” He’s one of the best athletes ever schooled at L. H. S., and he captained the 1940 undefeated Scarlet Hurricane team. Forrest, with your looks and your personality, you should really be a success in life. Page Eighteen — The 1941 Crystal

HILAH ELVIRA McCORMICK Dilettante Club 3-4. Hilah, punctual for classes, quiet and good natured, has a sense of humor, and plays the piano very well. We can say that she is most intellectual along the mathematical line but when it comes to his ' ory, she declares that she knows nothing. RUTH NUCKOLS Basketball 2; Cotillion Club 2-3; Secretary-treasurer of Class 2; Dramatic Club 3; Cheer Leader 3; Glee Club 2-3-4. Ruth came to us as a Freshman, but then attended the Fairfield High her Sophomore and Junior years. We are glad to welcome her back as a Senior this year. She is a jolly girl, and one whom we all appreciate. LYDIA PAINTER Glee Club 1-2-3-4. Lydia, quiet, friendly and helpful. She loves dancing and football (especially V. M. I.), and has an ardent de- sire to be a first-rate secretary. Her blonde hair is the envy of many of us. MARY ELIZABETH PHALEN “ibby” Basketball 1-2; Glee Club 4. Yes, her name is truly Mary Elizabeth, but to us she is “Ibby.” She will always rank in our memory because it was she who introduced most of the fads at L. H. S. Long nails with different colored polish and rings that suit her mood are quite individualistic of “Ibby.” The 1941 Crystal — Page Seventeen

IRMA WHITMORE “pansy” Amateur Review 2; Dilettante Club 3-4. Pansy, weighing ninety-nine pounds, is little but loud. She is a good sport and takes life as it comes. She doesn’t like to study but a good time is on her line and she makes a swell pal. EARL WILHELM Earl is good natured and very dependable. Although he frequently misses school and we tease him quite a bit for that, we know that there isn’t much else he misses. We have heard, however, that his one weakness is traveling to Buenie. JUANITA WILLIAMS “neta” Basketball 1-2; Glee Club 4. Juanita is another one of our jolly seniors. She is usu- ally seen driving a big, black Pontiac, and if one looks care- fully, he or she will find it full of screaming women — at least six in the back seat. However, she is not loved for her car alone, and so, the best of luck, Neta! EMILY WISE Glee Club 1 -2-3-4; Library Committee 2-3-4; Echo Staff 2-3; Crystal Staff 4. Because there has to be one like her to help keep things “ship-shape,” we shall never forget her. Tall, slender, dark, with a truly expressive face, Emily is one whom we ex- pect the best from, and one whom we know will not disap- point us. The 1941 Crystal — Page Nineteen
