RAYBURN CHITTUM Along with several others of our class, Rayburn left us in the middle of the year for the Army. Yet we shall remember him for a long time to come for the grand friend he was to everyone. And, no doubt, he’ll go far in the Army — and some day develop his scientific hankerings into something really great. So here’s hoping that his am- bitions and romance(!) will take Rayburn just where he wants! JAYNE HATHAWAY COSBY Jayne ' ’ Glee Club I, III, IV; French Club HI, IV. Jayne is the teacher’s pride and joy, in that she always studies and knows her lessons. Along with all her success in school work, Jayne is a sweet girl and is liked by all. We are proud of her and are sure she’ll be just as successful when she attains her ambition to teach school. Best of luck, Jayne! PEGGY JOANN DANIEL “ o” Executive Committee I; Crystal Staff (Editor-in-Chief) IV; Hall of Fame II, HI, IV; Glee Club I, II; Basket Ball I, HI, IV; Cheer Leader II, III, IV; Hi-Y Club IV; Aeronautics Club HI. Looking for the most athletic girl at L. H. S., that’s “Jo” — dark blond hair, sparkling eyes, and a winning smile. Along with her athletic skill, her trustworthiness and dependability have won her many friends and responsible positions. Add to this her sense of humor and you have “Jo,” one who has found a special place in our hearts and who is bound to succeed wherever she goes. MARVIN LEWIS DAVES “ Marvelous” Basket Ball I, HI, IV; Science Club HI, IV; Crystal Staff (Photography Editor) IV; Crystal Store IV. Who is in the middle of every crowd.? That’s right — “Marvelous Marvin” — usually heard murdering his latest dose of “corn.” He is always around to lend a helping hand in studies— a great addition to any classroom (ask Miss Hamilton). His “curly locks’’ and winning personality will long be remembered by all who meet him. Best of luck in medicine! 4 . 9

JESSE COLEMAN BEAN “String “C. B Football I, III, IV; Basket Ball I, II, III; Track III; Monogram Club II, III, IV (President IV); Science Club III; Crystal Staff IV. “String” is that tall, good-looking boy who wanders around the halls with an air of innocence — usually found up to another of his harmless (?) pranks. An all-around athlete and a good student, he is well liked by everyone and with that good-natured and fun-loving attitude, he has kept the school anything but dead! “C. B.” is quite the ladies’ man and in that “lizzie” he is ready for anything! Three cheers for the boy who is tops in athletics, studies and the social world. MARY ELIZABETH BLACK “Liz “Libby Executive Committee II, III, IV; Library Club I, II; Hi-Y Club III, IV; Hall of Fame IV. If you have a problem to solve, the logical person to see is “Liz.” She is always ready and willing and usually has the right answer. Although “Liz” is rather quiet, she can often be found in the midst of a laughing group of girls (?) who share her enjoyment over a new style hat or another moron joke. “Liz” is a strong supporter of the good-neighbor policy, and so we know she will succeed in whatever she attempts. NANCY WOODRUFF BLACK “Bane “Goat Glee Club I, II, HI, IV; Dramatic Club HI, IV; French Club II, HI, IV; Camera Club I. Crash! Bang! Boom! Who else could it be but “Bane” in the chemistry lab! “Auburn” is another one of those army brats but is really considered a Georgia cracker. She is also a topnotch equestrienne and is now really learning how to play polo. “Bane” also likes other phases of V. M. I. — but maybe that’s because it’s the “West Point of the South.” Au revoir Nantes et bonne fortune! BETSY ANN BROWN “Bets “Babs Glee Club I, II, HI, IV; Library Club I, II, HI, IV; Dramatic Club IV; Dilettante Club IV; Crystal Staff IV. Everyone knows and loves “Bets” because she is one of L. H. S.’s sweetest and best-looking girls! Those big brown eyes charm everyone, including V. M. L, W. L. and her one and only! And she is Fort Pierce’s Eighteenth Division pin-up girl, tool Even though it is time to give up good old L. H. S., she’ll be in the hearts of lots of underclassmen. Bye for now, “Bets,” and best of luck always. 8

CAROLYN LOUISA DAVID Lynne “Garbo “G. C. Glee Club II, III; Dramatic Club II, IV; French Club III, IV; Latin Club IV; Dilettante Club III, IV; Cheer Leader IV; Sub-Deb Club III, IV. “G. C. ” Need we say more.? Coming to us from the state of beautiful girls, California, Carolyn is no exception! With her big blue eyes she charms all the boys of L. H. S., W. L., and V. M. I. Strange to say, Carolyn’s male vocabulary consists entirely of B’s and J’s. Well, so long, Carolyn — for now. It’s been wonderful knowing you and having you with us these last few years. We wish you luck and we know you will succeed in all things that you may choose to undertake! CORNELIA WALLACE DAVIDSON “Gorn “Ginger “Red Glee Club I, II, III, IV; Library Club I, III; Basket Ball I; Dramatic Club II, IV (Librarian); Hi-Y Club III; Hoofbeats IV; Hall of Fame IV. “Corn!” Need we say more.? Here comes that happy-go-lucky redhead, with a vivacious smile! We wonder how she brought about that sudden change in “Oaks T.” It would take volumes to tell all we want to about “Corn,” so we’ll leave that for you to find out (if you can) but we wish all the happiness in the world to “Ginger” and Kraft products! (We don’t mean cheese either!) EDDIE PARKS DAVIS “Eddie “Sparks Football I, II, HI, IV; Basket Ball I, II, IV; Baseball I, II; Track HI, IV; Mono- gram Club HI, IV; Science Club HI; Latin Club H. “Eddie”; popular, congenial, sometimes (.?) mischievous, a lot of fun and an outstanding football player, mix all these elements with plenty of common sense, cheerfulness, plus a habit of going to the “city” quite frequently, and you have “Sparks” — one of our youngest graduates. Here’s a boy of whom the Class of ’45 can be justly proud. MARJORIE OVELIA DONALD “Marjorie “ Marj Dilettante Club I; Glee Club I. Blonde, quiet, and sweet, distinguishes none other than Marjorie. She is very good-natured and is always ready to lend a helping hand. By her friendly smile she has won many a heart at L. H. S. and a very special one in the Signal Corps. Some day she will probably make someone an A-i stenographer, if she doesn’t find something more interesting to do before that time! To a grand person we wish a life of happiness and best of luck always. ■{ 10 }»
