BURXETT BROWN SEXSABAUGH ‘ ' Snuffy Science Club, i; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; “Robin Hood,” 2; “Pirates of Penzance,” 3. Yes, this is the boy who works on the farm, studies and tries in every way to get that sheepskin. There’s not a dull moment with Sensabaugh around, believe me. Ask some of the girls. Good luck, old chap! We think you’ll have plenty of it. AXX ROGERS SH.YXER “Ann ” Library Club, 2, 3, 4; Science Club, i; Latin Club, i, 2, 3. If you want a good poster done in double-quick time, just ask Ann. She’s as handy as they come with a pencil and for a slight fee will turn out a neat pin-up. Xo doubt Mrs. Boykin will mourn her passing (out of high school, of course), since she is losing one of the few librarians who is willing to work. She will also be greatly missed in the cheering ranks at games, for she was a staunch supporter at all times. Perhaps some day . nn will be a famous illustrator. Then all of us will say, “I knew her when . . .” Good luck, Ann — here’s to you! DOROTHY ARLENE SHOWALTER “Dot “Shorty “Honey “Kid Latin Club, i, 2; Red Pepper Club, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee, 3; French Club, 3; Cheerleader, 3, 4; Crystal Staff, 4, Editor-in-Chief, 4. Looking for a little bit of everything? Well, here it is! “Dot” may be small, but she has a lot of everything. Looks, personality, friendliness and brains — these are only a few of her assets. -Although “Dot” has quite a few friends of the opposite sex, she has a special weakness for a guy who likes to learn English (?) at the last minute. If there’s trouble at the State between local boys and a few from the Institute, you can almost be sure “Dot” is the source of that trouble. “Dot” has not chosen her life’s work, but we are sure she’ll succeed in anything. Best of luck, “Shorty,” in whatever you choose! DANIEL REID SNIDER “Danny “Byrd Latin Club, i; Science Club, i; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4, President, 4; “Robin Hood,” 2; “Pirates of Penzance,” 3. “Danny,” another one of those determined and foresighted fellows who is out to get that sheepskin, is a smart boy in all of his subjects and has won the admiration of all his teachers. Here’s wishing that master mind of Kerrs Creek the best of luck! [ 14 ]

SAMUEL KINNEAR PATTON “Sam” Latin Club, 4. Sam, the “Socrates” of the Senior Class, is a newcomer who joined our happy throng this year. Although he was a stranger to most of us, Sam has gained the friendship of all and will long be remembered for his .Model “A” Eord and his late arrivals at school. The Senior Class wishes a lot of luck to a fine guy and hopes he will do as well in U . and L. as he did at L. H. S. Au revoir, Sam! RAYNELL LEE POPE “ Raynell” Science Club, i; Latin Club, 2; Red Pepper Club, 2, 3, 4, Secretary, 3; F. H. A. Club, 2; Glee Club, 2, 3; L ' -Name-It Club, 3; Executive Committee, 2, 4, Secretary, 4; Vice President Junior Class; Basketball, 3; “Robin Hood,” 2; Secretary Student Body, 4; Cheerleader, 4; Monogram Club, 4; Crystal Staff, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 4. Raynell, that gal with the looks, brains, dependability and personality, will cer- tainly be missed around L. H. S. Her smile and willingness to help others have won for her the hearts of the students; her ability has won for her the admiration of the teachers. Although she won’t admit it, she has a love for red (?) but she can be seen float- ing round a blue uniform quite frequently. So long, we’ll never forget you. RUTH GENEVA RULEY “ Ruthie” ScarLetter Staff, 4; Red Pepper Club, 2, 3, 4; French Club, 3; Monogram Club, 2, 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer, 3; Basketball, 2, 3, 4, Captain, 4; Cheerleader, 3, 4; Crystal Staff, 4; Hall of Fame, 4; F. H. A. Club, i, 2. “Who made that shot?” “Ruth did. Stupid. She makes ’em all.” Ruth is really the answer to every basketball coach’s prayer. Even though she’s mighty quiet in class, Ruth absorbs what she hears. When everyone else is bewildered, she comes through with an astounding answer. (Miss Hamilton’s pride and joy!) Whoever is lucky enough to win Ruth will really get a swell gal! LEAH BELLE SACHS “Leah Belle” Library Club, i, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, i, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, i, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club, 3; Latin Club, 2, 3; Cheerleader, 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 4; “Pirates of Penzance,” 3; “Robin Hood,” 2; F. H. A. Club 2. Wanted; One all-round student who is athletic, school spirited, talented and cheerful. Right here to fill the bill is Leah Belle. In other words, 99 44 100% pure! In the Art Department Leah is tops! Petite and cute, she charms both sexes, young and old. These and many more assets make her one of our favorite classmates. Here’s to one who will go far with her many talents! I [ 13 J

LEWIS HARTLAS SPERKA ‘ Lewis ' ' Glee Club, I, 2; Honor Court, i, 4; Executive Committee, 3; Boys’ Sports Club, 3; Latin Club, 2; Crystal Staff, 4. Lewis is dependable and studious enough to win the respect of his teachers and game enough to win the admiration of all his friends. Although he hasn’t given much of his time to entertaining females, he still seems to have his share of fun. Old “Sperka” has a long road of success ahead of him and L. H. S. wishes him the best of luck on every mile of it. HELEN ' VIRGINIA TILSON “Tillie Helen” Latin Club, l, 2, 3; Science Club, i; Glee Club, l; “Robin Hood,’’ 2; Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer, 2, ' icc President, 3, President, 4; Basketball, i, 2; Scar- Letter Staff, 4, Editor-in-Chief, 4. “Hey, Helen! Who was that I saw you with last night. Can you get that physics. ’’ cs, Helen is that rara avis who shows that brains and beauty mix. Aside from be- ing a big wheel on the ScarLetter staff, she can really ride those horses. She also seems to have an interest (purely platonic, of course) in ' . . I. I. Willing to help anyone who needs it, and having the ability to cope with any situation, Helen deserves all the good wishes in the world when she leaves L. H. S. MARY ELIZABETH ' I ' ROXELL “Mary” F. H. A. Club, [, 2, 3; Hi-Y Club, 3. •Mary is the girl often seen riding around in a little blue “Chevie.” She has big brown eyes, a sweet smile and a temper which she displays when the boys on the bus bother her. At such times she really makes use of her textbooks, doesn’t she, boys. She is as quiet as a mouse in the classroom but she can outdo a phonograph when she gets outside. Mary is an active little person and we know she’s bound to succeed in that important position she’s looking forward to. Good luck! WILLIA.M MARSHALL ZOLL.MAN “Unk” “Bill” Glee Club, i, 2; Latin Club, i, 2; French Club, 3; Honor Court, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 3; Crystal Staff, 4. “Bill,” one of Miss Hamilton’s better Latin students, is the quiet, witty boy who has been strolling the halls of L. H. S. for four years. In “Bill” we find an ex- cellent camper and outdoorsman as anyone associated with the “Neck” can tell you. When it comes to sports, just give “Unk” a rod and reel and he is right at home. With his dependability and other good qualities “Bill” ought to go far in the future. Will it be the Navy. [ 15 ]
