I ANNF, MARIK TROXKLL “Marie” Library Club, 4; Dilettante Club, 4. Almost any day at school you can hear an unlucky student call, “Marie,” and see a tiny auburn-haired lass willingly hurry to help the speaker with a difficult lesson. Marie is very quiet — until you know her well — but few know her thoughts when that dreamy look comes into her eyes. Oh yes, she does think of something besides lessons — and we can bet that he is thinking, too. RALPH WILHELM “Ike” Here’s one fellow who’s always ready and willing to lend a helping hand — no matter what the task. Ike’s been plugging right along with us during these years of hard labor {i) at L. H. S. But today he’s the man behind the man behind the man with the gun. Ike has taken over the management of his father’s farm, and as expected he’s really ' making things pay. Good luck to y ' ou, fellow! ELSIE Wri’HROW “Elsie” Volley Ball, 1-2; Softball, 1-2-3; Glee Club, i; Basket Ball, 1-2-4. Never unhappy long, Elsie likes a crowd (of men especially). She’s a sports lover and is really “on the beam” when it comes to playing basket ball. And Miss Dunlap would find it really impossible to secure a better helper — what a girl! STELLA WITHROW “Stella” Basket Ball, i; Glee Club, i. Stella, who was a newcomer to L. H. S. this } ' ear, has become a great friend of all of us. We appreciate her great sense of humor and cheerful smile and, knowing of her interest in W. L. (especially a certain boy named Bob), we wish her success and happiness in the future. ( 15 )

JANE DICKSON MURRAY ‘ Jane Glee Club, 1-2-3; Dramatic Club, 2-3-4 (President); French Club, 3-4. Here is the Class of 1944’s contribution to the world of knowledge — knowledge of everything from Buddhism to Boys. (Preferable W. L. “Boys”.) Tall and slim, with shining auburn hair, a bewitching smjle, and laughing eyes — that’s our Jane. A wonderful friend — always willing to help anyone in any way, whether it be with Latin, French or just personal problems. We know you’ll bring joy and honor to h ' lora MacDonald as you did to good ole L. H. S. Best of luck in everything! JUNE LAMARR REYNOLDS “June Basket Ball, 1-2; Glee Club, 1-2; Cheer Leader, 3-4; Hi-Y Club, 4 (President); Girls’ Monogram Club, 2; Library Club, 1-2-3-4 (President, 3); Crystal Staff, 4; Bond Committee, 4; Dramatic Club, 2. Name it, and she has it! Looks. More than her share! Personality plus, with plenty to spare. As much at home behind a typewriter as in “Memorial Garden” in the wee hours, June aptly performs any task put before her — and still finds time to keep the “Minks” and “Rats,” as well as the armed forces, on the go! Yes, June’s our nominee for L. H. S.’s truly All-American Girl! ELIZABETH FRANCES SHIELDS “Libby Glee Club, 1-2-3-4 (Typist, 4); Basket Ball, 2; French Club, 3; Cheer Leader, 4; Crystal Staff, 4. This little package of dynamite is the “Sweetheart of L. H. S.” Yep, with that “hey-hey” personality plus looks that any girl would yearn for — “Libby” always comes out on top. Whenever there’s a dance or what have you, this little lass is always there. She has a great love for men in general and can be serious as well as happy-go-lucky. Just keep those big, blue eyes sparkling, and you’ll roll into the heart of the world, just like you have into ours. IRIS JOSEPHINE TOLLEY “ Iris Glee Club, 2-3-4; French Club, 3-4. We always recognize Iris by her blonde hair, blue eyes, winning smile and pleas- ing personality. She’s industrious, dependable and conscientious, and has won many friends in her four years at L. H. S. To a good student, a true friend, and a grand person all-around, we wish the best of luck, both at Duke and elsewhere. ( 14 )

«. 7 . The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1944 W e, the aching, creaking, weary martyrs of the Class of 1944, being civilized human beings (our idea of ourselves), and not being off the beam and more or less cracked (the faculty’s idea of us), realizing that our days at Lexington High School are numbered. Do hereby set down our last will and testament, entrusting it to the frosh, sophs, juniors and faculty, to wit: Clause I 1. To the Juniors: The right of looking down disdainfully upon the rest of the school. 2. To the Sophomores: The thrill of wearing your first school ring. ■5. To the Freshmen: First dates and consequences! 4. To the Incoming Freshmen: The chills and fevers caused by your first senior “crush.” To the faculty: (1) To Mr. Bell: Two, or even one good chemist. (2) To Airs. Tardy: A fifth period study hail as well behaved (.?) as ours in 1940! (3) To Airs. Law: A future Latin student as brilliant as “Genius Jane.” (4) To Aliss Sieg: An English IV class that can write a super thesis in the lengthy period of three weeks. (5) To Aliss Hamilton: A supply of durable pencils that won’t wear out with continual rolling. (6) To Aliss Adair: A typing class made up entirely of boys. (7) To Airs. Boykin: The Lexington First Aid Crew, with full equipment.
