JAMES BLAIR HARRIS “James” “Hamburger” Industrial Arts Club, 2. In every class there’s always a fellow with a cheerful grin who is a friend to everyone (teachers, too!). We all know that this is happy-go-lucky James. Always ready with a wisecrack which causes an uproar in the class, Hamburger has been a favorite through the years. To a swell guy the Class of 50 extends health, happiness and prosperity plus a huge bundle of good wishes for a successful future. VIRGINIA LUCILLE HARRIS “Lucille’ “Low? “Sleepy” Pie yocunbyes boi. A. 1, 2, 4° B.A. R., 1,2; 4 Haw! Haw! Hear that laughter? Yep, Lucille must be around. This gay, carefree gal can nearly always be found in the midst of a group, entertaining them. Her nickname “Sleepy” must have come as a result of the late hours she keeps. Because of her work in F. H. A., the Class of 50 feels certain that it is turning Lucille over to some lucky guy. Our best wishes go with you! JULIA ANN HEDGEPETH Julie” “Coon” Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Monogram Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee, 3, Treasurer, 3; Library Club, 8, 1; ScarLetter Staff, 3, 4; Cheerleader, 3, 4; Latin Club, 8, 1, 2; Dramatic Club, 8, 1; “Robin Hood,” 1; “Pirates of Penzance,’ 2; Hall of Fame, 3. Just take quite a bit of basketball ability, add good looks, personality and poise, and then mix well with brains (?), a sense of humor and a smile that will steal your heart away—now what do you have? None other than our own Julie! Although Julie has many admirers, she’s still partial to a certain guy whose name rhymes with Whacky. May Coon succeed in whatever she under- takes in the future. JOSEPH WILLIAM HOLLIS, Jr. “Carlos’ “Billy” “Slick” Football, 3, 4; Library Club, 1, 2, 3; Monogram Club, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 2; Arts and Crafts Club, 2. That tall good-looking lad strolling down the hall with a mischievous gleam in his eye can only be our own dashing caballero—Hollis. Billy is usually seen working up expeditions to the “Smoky City” or diligently practicing some sport. L. H. S. will miss a good football player and a great friend when Bill leaves. So farewell and good luck to a swell guy. “Hf 11

RECTOR ALEXANDER ENGLEMEN, JR. “Buzzy” Rog 2 Library Club, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Industrial Arts Club, 1. Dependable, good-natured, a whiz in Industrial Arts—these are only a few traits of our one and only Buzzy. He has become quite a familiar figure to us as he zooms to and from school in that two-toned Plymouth. Yes, L. H. S. will miss this friendly farm boy whose perseverance and helpfulness are out- standing. But we know he'll be successful in whatever he undertakes. LURTY EDWARD FIFER, Jr. “Lurty” “Flute’ “Mr. President” Student Body President, 4; Honor Court, 1; Latin Club, 1; Boys’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 2; Football, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Hall of Fame, 4. One, if not the most, popular boy at L. H. S. is Flute, our capable Student Body President. Blond curly hair, good looks, and laughing eyes characterize Lurty briefly. Outside of class work and executive procedures, he is quite an athlete in every sport. With such a sparkling personality, Lurty has charmed both younger and older members of the opposite sex. Farewell, Flute, we are sure these traits will take you far in the world. JOHN DOUGLAS PITTS FULLER, Jr. “Jack” “John” “Pitts? Fuller’ Latin Club, 1, 2; Boys’ Sports Club, 8, 1; Chemistry Club, 4; “Robin Hood,” 1; “Pirates of Penzance,” 2. Jack is one of those amiable boys at L. H. S. whose perseverance and co- operativeness are the joy of both teachers and fellow students. He especially likes English Literature, chocolate milk and flaming red hair (directing special attention to Coates). If you hear moans or groans in the classroom, you can be sure that Jack is there. Here’s to Fuller, another all-round guy. May he always be right in forecasting the weather! GWENDOLYN VIRGINIA HARLOW “Gwen” Home Economics Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; B. A. R., 1, 2, 3, 4; Red Pepper Club, 1. Who's the smiling girl whom everyone calls J. K.2- Right away we all think of Gwen, Mr. Samples’ private secretary. She is known for her abundance of friendliness arid good humor. Her chief interest, outside of going to the State Theater, is taking Home Economics, so we see that Gwen is planning for the future. The best of luck to a wonderful classmate; an open road of happiness and success awaits you. { 10

HARVEY LEWIS HOTINGER, Jr. “Harvey” Football, 4; Library Club, 8, 1, 3, 4; Arts and Crafts, 1. Harvey—100% mischievous, but a friendly chap—is seen pacing our halls with a sunny smile and a personality that is one in a million. He, with his ambition, is one of Mrs. Boykin’s prize (?) workers. Here’s to a grand guy who will take his talents to V. P. I. next year. We wish him loads of luck in whatever he undertakes. PATRICIA ANN HUBERT “Par? “Hat” Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; ScarLetter Staff, 4, Circulation Manager Red Pepper Club, 2, Vice President; Cheerleader, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Hall of Fame, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; “Robin Hood,’ 1; “Pirates of Penzance,” 2; Dance Committee, 4; Forensic Club, 3. Red hair, a lovable personality, and good nature describe Pat, who has “had her finger in almost every pie” at L. H. S. Cheerleading and basketball take up a lot of her time, but “Hut,” can always break a dozen or so male hearts. To a wonderful girl, always friendly and kind, we wish the best of luck and hope that all your dreams come true. MARY ANN HUFFMAN “Mary Ann” “Charlie’ “Huffy” Hiey Club; 13 By BeAr 2 38-4 Vice) President 5°) Danes Roo ete Did you say that you’re looking for someone to brighten the day? Mary Ann is her name, but to the kids on Fred’s bus she is better known as Charlie, the one and only. Although quiet, Mary Ann is always full of fun and good humor. Farewell, Charlie, the Class of “50 will always remember you. VIRGINIA IANNUZZI , ‘Virginia’ “Ginny” “Inezzt” Vice President of Student Body, 3; Executive Committee, 8, 3; Class Presi- dent, 8, 1; Honor Court, 1; ScarLetter Staff, Copy Editor, 2, Editor, 3; Student Director of Assemblies, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; “Patience,” 3; Dramatic Club, 2; Library Club, 1; Latin Club, 8, 1, 2, 3; Basketball, 2; CRYSTAL Editor, 4; Hall of Fame, 2, 4. Way back in ’46 a bombshell of fun, looks, personality, brains, and a help- ing hand dropped on L. H. S. in the form of Virginia. Since then she has been shouldering the chief responsibilities of our class, doing everything from in- structing a class to decorating for a spring dance. Attractive, brunette, with a cheerful smile, Inezzi spells dependability with a capital “D.” L. H. S. will lose a valuable asset when she takes her talents elsewhere next fall.
