ALBERT STUART AGNOR III “ Tommy” “ Poss ” “Nub” Boys’ Sports Club, 8; Football, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee, 4; President, Senior Class, 4; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Monogram Club, 4. Known as a fellow who will really stick to anything he undertakes, “Nub” has become a prominent figure in his eventful stay at L. H. S. As a guard on the football team, as president of the Senior Class, and at any social event, Tommy is one of the top contenders. We know that he will keep this up at Tech, so we wish him luck. NINA KATHERINE SPERKA “Nina” “Snoozer” Honor Court, 1, 4, President, 4; Executive Committee, 3; Library Club, 8, 1, 2; Latin Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 4, Crystal Staff, 4; F. H. A., 8; Vice President, Senior Class, 4; Vice President, Student Body, 4; Hall of Fame, 2. “She had a dark and a roving eye, and her hair hung down in ringlets.” Did someone mention Nina? You bet we did because here’s one little gal who has personality plus and a disposition that is enviable. Always busy and never com- plaining, “Snoozer” has worked hard on everything she has ever undertaken in L. H. S. A pharmacist she’s gonna be; so the best of everything to a most deserving young lady. JOAN DOD “Jo” “Joan” “ Country ” Dramatic Club, 2, 3; Cheerleader, 2, 3, 4. If you happen to look up and see a cute, dark-haired girl walking leisurely down the halls, it’ll be “Country.” Few people can resist that slow grin. Her readiness to help a friend and her easy going manner has won her many friends, both in and out of school. Although this lovely little miss didn’t come to us until her sophomore year, we claim all rights to her. Best of luck, “Jo,” and keep close eyes on those many beaux! 4 7 HP

FREDERICK AYERS ARNDT “ Fred . ” “Ain’t “ Freddie ” Glee Club, 8; Library Club, i. Who is that tall, dark, handsome fellow going down the hall? That is one of M iss Hamilton’s favorite English students, “Fred.” It seems as though “Fred” will become a noted linguist some day, since he is studying two languages. Al- though this fellow is a good student, he is never too busy studying to help someone with his lessons. Of course “Fred” isn’t just all work and no play! So adios, Amigo, and good luck in the future. MARTHA JANE BAILEY “Jane Executive Committee, 8; Red Pepper Club, 8, l; Glee Club, 8, i, 2, 3, 4; “Patience,” 2; F. H. A., 8; Latin Club, 8, 1; Dramatic Club, 2, 3; Basketball, Assistant Manager, 3, Manager, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 3, Editor, 4. Here she is — the pride of L. H. S.l Miss Jane’s pleasant smile and cheerful manner has brightened the day for many a person. Wherever there is any activity going on, you can be sure that Jane is a part of it, for there could never be a more spirited person. To a charming girl we say “farewell” and wish her the best at Longwood next year. THOMAS IRVINE BAKER “Tommy “ Classy ” “Pod” Football, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; “Pirates of Penzance,” 2; Dramatic Club, 2, 4; Boys’ Mono- gram Club, 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer, 4. See that boy coming down the hall with the big smile and the twinkling eyes? Yep, that’s our “Tommy.” He’s known to be a great guy on the football and base- ball fields and also on the basketball courts. And they say he’s quite successful when it comes to getting along with the women. (How about that “Classy”?) He will be missed at L. H. S. in the coming years, but we won’t worry about him, for he’s sure to succeed wherever he goes. BETTY LOUISE BOYD “Betty Red Pepper Club, 8; F. H. A., 8; Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4. Who’s that nightingale singing? Why, it’s none other than Betty. It is easy to understand why Mary Monroe is always calling on her for support. Well, Betty, I know that you will reach the top someday providing, of course, that you find a cure for the “Berry-Berry” disease. Good luck to a wonderful girl. Don’t forget L. H. S. and its many laughs when you get to Hollywood. We’ll be listening for you over WREL. 8
