Attractive, good-natured with a good sense of humor, very accommodating and kind-hearted — that’s our “Bunky.” He likes to travel, especially to Memphis (prob- ably because of the beautiful park there). “Bunky” will never be without friends and we’re sure he will be a success in any field that he chooses. PEGGY LEE BINGHAM ' Peg” Glee Club, 1-3; Library Club, 1-2-3 (Secretary, 2-3); French Club, 3-4; Hi-Y Club, 4 (Vice President); Crystal Staff, 4 (Editor); Treasurer of Class, 3; Secretary of Class, 4. Fun.’ Adventure.’ You can bet Peg will be there, bubbling over with enthusiasm. - mong other things. Peg is especially fond of music — dancing — sports — Sophomores (or Sophomore) — Massanetta — and even Sinatra! ! Her dependability, trustworthi- ness, and broad-mindedness have won for her many responsible positions and she performs all duties cheerfully and well. . u revoir. Peg! PAUL KERLIN BOSSERMAN ‘ Pickle” Football, 4 (. ssistant Manager, 1-2-3); Basket Ball, 2 (Assistant Manager); Baseball, 1 (.Assistant Manager); Monogram Club, 4; Glee Club, 4; Crystall Staff, 4. Small, brown hair, twinkling blue eyes, “Pickle” is the Don Juan of the Class of ’44. Although frequently seen in the vicinity of Madison College, we know his heart belongs to a A’ankce lass in Boston. He’s a great little guy that none of us will ever forget. Lots of luck, fellow! We’ll be backing you while you are up there with Uncle Sam’s Flying Marines. ELSIE MARGARET BROWN Glee Club, 1-2-3-4; French Club, 3-4; Dilettante Club, 2. If you happen to attend a Glee Club rehearsal and see an attractive girl with beautiful red hair, singing in a lovely soprano voice, you have seen Elsie. She’s a grand person, with a winning smile that makes friends easily. -And if you don’t be- heve us, just ask some of those .A. S. T. Cadets! We’re sure Elsie will sing her way into the hearts of millions, just as she has sung and smiled her way into our hearts. So tra-la-la and good luck, Elsie! ( 10 )

THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1944 Julia Lewis Smith President Motto: Not for ourselves, but for our country Flower: Gardenia Colors: Army Khaki, Navy Blue, Marine Green JULIA LEWIS SMITH “Julie” Glee Club, 1-2-3-4; Executive Committee, 2-3; Cheer Leader, 2-3-4; of Fame, 2-3-4; French Club, 3; President of Senior Class, 4; Crystal Staff, 4. Look at that mob scene in the hall between classes! Who is that very undignified female senior in the middle? Why, it’s Smitty! I thought everyone knew her. People often wonder how a little thing like that could cause so much commotion. She isn’t always so happy-go-lucky though. We, the Senior Class, have seen her handle many a serious breach of the honor system with the utmost calmness and sincerity. ( 9 )

I I I BF ITY SUK CASH “ Betty Sue” French Club, 3. A tiny, little brunette with br own eyes — that’s Betty Sue. A student who’s more interested in Home Ec. than in French — -that’s still Betty Sue. She’s quiet, but most of us know wh ' . Certainly she dreams! Who wouldn’t when you have him hooked. Oh, yes, the ring is on her finger, and the day is almost set when Betty Sue will be Betty Sue Cash no longer. We can only wish you luck, “little girl.” BLANDY WALTON CLARKSON ‘‘‘Blinks” ‘‘Duck” Student Body President, 4; E.xecutive Committee, 2-3 ; Football, 1-2-4 (Manager) 3 ; Baseball, i (Assistant Manager), 2-3 (Manager); French Club, 3-4; Science Club, 4; Monogram Club, 3-4; Cryst. l Staff, 3-4; Hall of Fame, 4. Time and space keep us from telling all the info’ concerning “that Clarkson.” He’s one in a million and A-i in all our hearts. An outstanding student, he’s had “a finger in every pie” at ye olde high school. Duck’s almost a tradition around here, and L. H. S. will surely miss that bright and shining face popping up from every crevice — “the hatch included”! But he won’t be leaving us entirely. He plans to enter V. M. I. in June, and you can bet the “Colonel” will fix him! The very best of everything, fellow. HELEN EUGENIA CLEMMER “Beanie” Glee Club, 2-4; Dilettante Club, 2. Looking for an old-fashioned girl? Then steer clear of “Beanie,” ’cause she’s strictly “on the beam!” With that debutante slouch and her devil-may-care per- sonality, all she has to do is throw out a “line” and haul ’em in — just ask anybody in minkland! You’re the best, Jean — -may you always end up on top! ALICE ROBERTA ENGLEMAN “ J lice” Glee Club, 4. Our Alice is the teachers’ pride and joy. She always remembers what the lessons are, always studies them, and always knows them. She works hard and really gets results, but she’s never too busy to help anyone who’s having a hard time with his lessons. Along with all her success in school work, Alice is a sweet girl and one we all like. We’re proud of her, and are sure she’ll be just as successful in later life as she has been at L. H. S. ( 11 )
