SAMUEL HOUSTON TARDY “Sam” “Sleepy” Library Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, Bookweek Chairman, 3; Science Club, 2; Basket- ball, 1; Boys’ Sports Club, 2; Football, 1, 3, 4. Sam is among the few people who live up to their names—Tardy, we mean. However, to counteract that trait, Sam is dependable, a good student, and a first-rate football player on the football team. In this rushing world of atomic age, the Class of 50 is proud to claim this calm, easy-going fellow. So long, Sleepy, the best of luck to you. MARY SUE WEEKS “Mary Sue” Red Pepper Club, 8; Basketball, 1; Girls’ Monogram Club, 2, 3; Latin Glubssele Swish! There goes the girl with the laughing countenance—no other than Mary Sue. Attractive, intelligent and happy-go-lucky Mary Sue is everyone’s pal here. Probably her greatest accomplishment is managing V. M. I., W. L., and L. H. S., plus a few neighboring schools, all at one time. Here’s wishing the best for a very sweet and pretty girl. MELVIN OTTO WIGGINS, Jr. ‘tMel”” “Wig” Library Club, 1, 2, 3; Latin Club, 1; Football Manager, 2; Boys’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; CRYSTAL Staff, 3, 4. Melvin, one of Mr. Thompson’s old faithfuls, has been a familiar figure behind the counter of the CRYSTAL store. In addition to his scholastic activities, he is quite frequently seen escorting the local gals around. Mel’s friendliness and school spirit are quite well known here. We wish Melvin much success in the field of Civil Engineering. “Bon Voyage!” JEAN ANNE YOUNG Jay” leanie”’ Hall of Fame, 3, 4; Dilettante Club, 8, 1, 2, Vice President, 8; Glee Club, 8, 4; “Patience,” 3; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1. Personality, plus looks, charm, and grace—yep, that’s our Jeanie. With those big brown, flirty eyes, Jean has been “Bob’-ing along all right this year both in and out of school (meaning V. M. I., of course). These and many more assets make Jay one of our favorite classmates. We know you will be as great a success at Mary Washington as you’ve been here at L. H. S. The best of luck in everything. “{ 18 ji

WILLIS LETCHER ROWSEY “Will” “Slick” “Levi” Aeronautics, 1; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, President, 3, 4; Football, 2, 3, 4; Monogram Club, 3, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Boys’ Sport Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 2; Track, 2. Add a huge bundle of wit and personality, multiply by a voice that makes all the girls swoon, and divide by a key position on the football field. There’s only one answer to this problem and that’s Will. Slick has made key blocks not only on the football field but also among the girls at L. H. S. (teachers included). With regrets the Class of °50 bids you farewell, Will. ANNE HARWELL SMILEY “Wimpy” “Nathon” “Smiley” Home Economics Club, 8, 1, 2, 3; Dramatic Club, 1, 2, 3; Glee Club, I, 2, 35-4. Yep, the girl with a pretty face, bright smile and a happy greeting for everyone is none other than Anne. All those corsages and pins she sports around are proof of the way the Cadets feel about her (especially one certain guy!). Her male (and mail) acquaintances extend even to France (pen pals, eh? ). Both teachers and students can vouch for Anne’s dependability in classes. The best of everything, Anne. NANCY KAY SPENCER “Nancy” “Doodlebug” Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, President, 4; Dramatic Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary, 2, President, 3, 4; Latin Club, 2; Cheerleader, 3, 4. Our first memory of Nancy pictures her zooming around in that black Dodge (now a station wagon). Although she moans about her grades, we wonder if this can’t be because she spends so much time with a certain “leech”? Her school spirit is verified by her cheerleading ability and the many trips to out-of-town games (with a carload, too). Doodlebug will always recall count- less memories to us all. “Adios”! JOSEPH HENRY SWINK “Joe” “Seefus” Arts and Crafts Club, 1; Library Club, 1, 2, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4, Vice Presi- dent, 3. The Swink guy is 99 and 44 100% pure friendliness, determination and helpfulness. Always ready with a willing hand to help anyone (particularly the shop boys, since he is an expert in Industrial Arts) and to give anyone a lift in his Pontiac. Joe has been branded as a number one fellow. With your ability to accomplish any task you undertake, we are sure you will succeed in the future.
