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 )

n T4i- a JrUl .. ( ■ -Ap - ' fCcifi. CAL ’IN FRANCIS ALFORD “ Buuky ” Baseball, i; Flxecutive Committee, 4. 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 )

BESSIE BEATRICE FIX “ Bea ” Basket Ball, 4; Hi-Y Club, 4. Tall, slender and very attractive distinguishes none other than “Bea.” This young deb has made many friends at L. H. S., with that “starlight” smile and her great athletic ability. Yep, she is one of Mr. Bell’s best standbys and we love her for it. She is a great artist at driving a Plymouth, too — need we say more. Now, with tim e so short, we can only remind her that a certain heart is waiting to be healed. Right ADA SOUTHALL GILLOCK “Ada” “Agile” SALUTATORIAN For many years L. H. S. has been blessed with a representative from the Gillock family. The Class of ’44 is no exception. Ada has been with us from the very begin- ning. She’s a grand girl and one whom we all admire. With Ada present, English class never knows a dull moment. She’ll do well in anything she undertakes. And from what we hear, she may be taking some big steps soon. June is graduating time, but it’s also the month for matrimony. Take care of that Leatherneck — he’s a lucky guy. The best of ev ' erything, Ada, you deserve it. MARY SUE GROSSO “Susie” Glee Club, 1-2-3-4; French Club, 3-4; Hall of Fame, 3; Crystal Staff, 4; Honor Committee, 4. Mary Sue! Need we say more. Everybody knows and loves this smiling, dark- haired gal whose wonderful disposition and friendly interest in ev eryone she knows make her the belle of L. H. S., not to mention W. L., V. M. L, and V-12. Ambition directs her towards Mary Baldwin and a musical career, which she well deserves, but we wonder just how far she’ll get before the right man comes along to claim her. .Anyway, we all know that “Susie” will be successful whatever happens. FRANK QUENTIN HARRIS “Frank” Glee Club, 4; Executive Committee, 4; Bond Committee, 4. Have you noticed a sudden death-like lull around this school. Well, we, the Class of ’44 have. And we know what is wrong. We miss that jovial, good-looking defender of John L. Lewis, Frank Harris. While he was here, he didn’t take part in many sports or activities, but he seemed to add something to our class spirit by just being around. Till we meet again we will always be thinking of him and hoping for his success in the Navy. ( 12 )
