STUAR ' r MOORE, Jr. “Gooch ” Latin Club, i, 2; Science Club, i; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; French Club, 3, 4; Scarl.nter Staff, 3, 4; .Monogram Club, 4; I ' rack, 2; Football, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee, 4; President Student Body, 4. Stuart, the President of our Student Body, has been an inspiring leader within the walls of L. H. S. He has also been a hard-hitting guard on the football squad and a real cog in the wheel of school activities. A modest guy, Stuart won ' t admit any of this, not even the red -headed distraction in biology class. But it’s true, nevertheless. His ability, his conscientiousness and determination will carry him far in the world. Farewell, “Gooch.” JOSEPH JOHN EISLER ' Jose” “Joe” Football, I, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Monogram Club, 3, 4, President; Glee Club, i, 2, 3, 4; “Robin flood,” 2; “Pirates of Penzance,” 3; “Mikado,” i; Crystal Staff, 3, 4; Executive Committee, 2, 4, Honor Court, 3; President of Class, 3, 4; Scar Letter Staff, 3, Business Manager. Joe, a man of many and varied abilities (his greatest being that of fluttering the tender heart), is leaving the old “marble factory.” Joe has been a familiar figure about the place, especially on the basketball floor and football field, and his giving everyone a “hard time” in assembly has not been infrequent. Mr. Thompson’s right-hand man has learned one thing, that “round-heads” are almost non-existent.

HAMFl ' OX SEEBERl ' ALFORD ' ' Hansford “Slick” “Sonny” Football, 1, 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain, 4; Monojtram Club, 2, 3, 4; Track, 3; Baseball, 3, 4; Sports Club, 2, 3. It is hard to realize that “Hansford,” the big guy with the big smile and bigger heart, is not going to be around any longer. Hampton has always been one of the regular Hurricanes and this year co-captained his team to a very successful season. The big boy does all right with the fairer sex, too, doesn’t he, girls To a great guy and a great athlete, L. H. S. wishes the best of luck! WILSON ' EMORY BOWYER “Red” Football, 2, 3, 4; Sports Club, 3; Monogram Club, 2, 3, 4; - eronautics Club, 3; U-Name-It, 3. Who is the boy around L. H. S. who really mows ’em down on the football field Why, our own Scarlet Hurricane, “Red” Bowyer. He has won three letters and that’s proof enough of his outstanding athletic ability. L. H. S. is really losing a wonderful guy. Wilson appears to be rather quiet and shy, but when you get to know him — well, that’s a difference story. No matter what field of work you pursue, W ilson, you’ll still be our star and wc’ll be rooting for you. VIMAN LOUISE BUCHANAN “ Tucker” Science Club, i; Latin Club, 2; Arts and Crafts Club, 3; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Basket- ball, 3; F. H. A. Club, 2, 3, 4; Red Pepper Club, 2, 3; “Pirates of Penzance,” 3; “Robin Hood,” 2. ’ivian, better known as “Tucker,” is that flashing blonde with those blue eyes who is always wondering what to do next. If you want to hear a good joke (. ), just ask her to tell you the one she h eard last night. Believe it or not, she’ll tell you. She can also giv ' e you some high points on home-making, so if you’re puzzled, just ask her for some advice. Well, “Tucker,” don’t worry over which one to choose — ' . M. I. or W. and L. It’ll all work out. ALICE ROBERTSON CARROLL “Alice Science Club, i; Latin Club, i, 2, 3, 4, President, 4; Glee Club, i, 3, 4; Basketball, 2; Dramatic Club, 2, Secretary; Honor Court, 3; Scar Letter Staff, 3, 4; Hall of Fame, 3; Library Club, 4, President. Dependable. The most. A scholar. The best. Personality and looks She has it all. Who? Why, Alice, of course! She has really been a guiding light in ole L. H. S. all of her four years. With her originality and wit she has been a contributor and a leader in all school activities and will be greatly missed. So long — ie amamus et admiravxur! [ 8 ]
