ELEANOR HURST MOSES ‘ Eleanor” Glee Club I, II, III (Treasurer), IV (President); Dramatic Club I, IV (Secretary); Bond Committee III; French Club III, IV. Eleanor! Need we say more? Everyone knows this smiling, dark-complexioned, dark-haired gal whose good nature and interesting personality have won many friends at L. H. S. She is especially noted for her individuality. She is very dependable and the Glee Club and Dramatic Club will miss her as a leader. Eleanor believes in putting the most into everything and also in getting the most out of everything! Best of luck, “dark eyes,” you deserve it! BETTY THORN McCLUER “Betty ' ” “ B. T.” “Thorn” “ Bea” French Club HI, IV; Glee Club I, II, HI; Dramatic Club I, II; Hall of Fame HI, IV; Sub-Deb Club HI, IV. “Glamour gal of L. H. S.” — yes, that’s “B. T. ” She’s an all-around girl (in more ways than one), loves sweet and bot music, “Cokes” and naturally she just adores the opposite sex — and do they love her — Oh man, who wouldn’t? Good looks, double plus, but don’t let those sparkling eyes fool you. She wows ’em all, young and old! All this and brains too? ! Hard to believe, but it’s true! That little gal on “the hill” has us guessing about her “O. A. O.,” but until he comes along, she is sure to carry on in a whirl of fun, happiness and popularity. BERNICE KATHLEEN McKEMY “ Bernie” Dilettante Club IV. Bernice is one of the quiet kind. She is good natured, dependable, intelligent, good looking, and attractive — what more could you want? ! Her secret (?) ambition is to become a minister’s wife and while she’s waiting for this to come true, her interests seem to be in the South Pacific. Best of luck, “Bernice,” and much happiness always! CHARLIE L. ROWSEY, Jr. “Charlie” Football I, HI; Glee Club IV; Aeronautics HI. Just look down the hall and if you see a tall, red-headed boy coming through the crowd, it’s probably Charlie. If you say, “Let’s go hunting” and the answer is “Yes,” then you know it’s Charlie! He is dependable, good-natured, and an intelligent boy with a keen sense of humor. L. H. S. will miss Charlie, who has everything, especially “rhythm in his bones”! Here’s wishing a swell guy the best of luck always. 4 . 15

HARRY LEE LACKEY, Jr. “Harry” Football I, II, III, IV; Track III; Aeronautics Club III; Science Club IV; A ono- gram Club III, IV. Harry, now one of Uncle Sam’s gang, is one of the most popular and fun-loving members of our class. He is definitely not a woman hater, but, on the contrary, a wolf — his subjects being several sophomore girls. On the athletic side, he was a mem- ber of the football and track teams and participated in many other activities. He thinks teachers are a little unnecessary, so there is rarely a dull moment in any of our classes! We know you’ll do all right no matter where you go, Harry. Good luck — the Class of ’45 will never forget you. PATRICIA FAY MILLER “Pat” Pat is known to all of us as one of the Miller twins. She has a very pleasant personality and a smile for everyone. If Pat seems a little unhappy, just mention the Navy and watch her eyes sparkle! Summer school was a problem, but now that that’s over and with the Navy at her command, we are sure she will go far. Anchors away! PAULINE RAY MILLER “Pauline” Dilettante HI, IV. Five feet, eight and a half inches topped by eyes of blue and natural curley, black hair — could only be the “other Miller” (Quote K. A. T.) — Pauline. We have found her one of the most loyal and sincere members of our group. She has shown a great interest and given much time and effort towards making our new cafeteria a success. You’ll go a long way, if you keep that smile, so best of luck, Pauline, and loads of happiness. ALICE McCLUNG MOORE “Alice” “Chicken” Glee Club I, II, HI (Wardrobe Mistress), IV; Hi-Y Club IV; Hall of Fame IV. Cute. Of course! Blue eyes? But definitely! Dependable? Yes, indeed! Fun? Loads! Alice? Well, naturally! Maybe quiet to those who are strangers, but, oh boy, not when you know her! Seldom missing a trick, she’s a living encyclopedia on the latest L. H. S. slang. Her winning smile and personality are always a welcome sign to any group. Willing to lend a hand no matter what the task, she’s always on time and ready for anything. Yes, that’s Alice! 14 jS®

JOE COLAN SHANER, Jr. “Joe” “Pete” “ Cuehall” Football III, IV; Monogram Club III, IV; French Club III, IV; Track III, IV; Crystal Staff IV; Hall of Fame IV. If you see a chunky, sandy-haired and smiling boy around the halls having a good { ' !) time, that’s “Pete.” One of the mainstays of the ’44 eleven, Joe can be depended on to hold his end of the bargain, in both school work and athletics. With his winning personality, “Cueball” will be long remembered by the Class of ’45. JOHN SHELTMAN SHIELDS, Jr. “Jack” Football IV; Track HI, IV; Aeronautics Club IV; Monogram Club HI, IV. Jack, with his broad, winning smile, has helped to make L. H. S. very lively during the past four years. He has taken part in many sports and has made a good showing in track, even if he did begin some 220’s with a “satisfying Chesterfield.” Jack has a hobby of collecting popular records and they are really “hep to the jive”! Having a great love for the outdoors, he does a great deal of hunting and fishing, so here’s wishing you luck, success, and that you’ll have the opportunity to go big- game hunting in Africa with a bow and arrow! JOSEPH C. STANLEY “Joe” Executive Committee II; Football I, II, HI, IV; Baseball I, II; Track HI, IV; Glee Club III, IV; Hall of Fame HI, IV. Joe is one of the school’s star athletes. He has been outstanding on the gridiron for the past three years and, in track, is known as one of the fastest men in the district. Joe has a personality that makes him a favorite of all the students, both male and female, and a voice that makes ’em all want to swoon! These characteristics plus good looks and many more too numerous to mention, make him one of those all-around boys who is sure to succeed. JAMES WEATHERS “Jimmy” “Stormy” Executive Committee HI, IV; Glee Club HI, IV; Football I, II, HI, IV; Basket Ball III, IV. What’s causing that big wind through here. Oh, it’s “Stormy” and he is telling his latest story. Yessir, Stormy is a real “Scarlet Hurricane.” He is one of those fellows we first met only four years ago and we’ve gained a lifetime’s enjoyment from knowing him. We are sure he’ll go through life making others happy, so here’s wishing him all the luck in the world. 4 16 4-
