NANCY BROWN “ Nancy ” 11 Nan” Red Pepper Club, 8; Glee Club, 8, I, 2; U-Name-It Club, 8; F. H. A., 8; Dramatic Club, I, 2, 3. Vivacity plus a love for fun minus bashfulness times feminine charm equals “Nancy.” We all know and will always remember her cheerful disposition and winning smile. We’r e sure that W. L. and V. M. I. will remember you, too, “Nan.” Whatever you do in the future, we’re sure that you’ll succeed. Adois, senorita. STEVE BARE DOD “ Stevie ” “ Boo” “ Jiggs ” Football, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 3; Baseball, 3, 4; Boys’ Monogram Club, 8, 1 , 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 1 , 2; Glee Club, 1 ; “ Pirates of Penzance “ Robin Hood”: Crystal Store, 3, 4; Crystal Staff, 4. “Boo,” one of the great personalities of the Class of ’51, has not only been outstanding as a great football player but also as a student and a friend to everyone. Steve has a winning personality, good looks, and is always well dressed, and for these reasons he seems to have several female fans both at L. H. S. and Sent. We have found that “Boo” is a very capable fellow, and we’re sure the future holds nothing but success for him. LOUISE ENGLEMAN “ Easie” Dramatic Club, 8, 2; Library Club, 8, 1,2, 3, 4; F. H. A., 8; Glee Club, 2. Long will we remember this quiet and intelligent girl. Because of her easy ways and reserved manner, she was given her nickname, “Easie. ’’Her friends admire her for her leadership in school activities, her studying habits, and for that one outstanding trait of personality which is making friends wherever she goes. We regret that your laughter soon will no longer echo in the halls of L. H. S.; but we will always think of you, “Easie.” FRANCES ANNE FIX “Annie” “ Foofnick” Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Latin Club, 8, 1; Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Monogram Club, 3, 4, Vice President, 3; Cheerleader, 4, ScarLetter Staff, 4, Business Manager; F. H. A., 8. Add a big bundle of wit and energetic spirit, multiply by a magnetic personality and winning smile, and divide by a star player on the basketball court. There’s only one answer to this problem — our one and only “Annie.” Whether acting in plays, getting into teacher’s hair with witty remarks, or cheerleading, we think of “Foofnick” (?) as a gal who has won a place in many hearts — not only at L. H. S., either. Good luck, Anne, as you take your talents to Mary Washington! 4 9 fa

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

CLAUDE LEON HAMRIC “ Big-ga “ Sonny ” Football, i, 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Monogram Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 2. It’s hard to realize that “Sonny,” the big guy with the big smile and big chew, isn’t going to be around any longer. “Big-ga” has always been one of the regular Hurricanes in the eyes of the sport fans and in the eyes of the opposite sex also. He co-captained his football team to a very successful season and also had a big season in the social world. Here is to a great guy and a great athlete. LOWELL DOW HAMRIC “Red “Mistor” “ Little Red ” Student Body President, 4; Boys’ Monogram Club, 2, 3, 4; Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 8; Honor Court, 3; Science Club, 8; Glee Club, 3; Executive Committee, 4; Boys’ State, 4. One of the live wires around L. H. S. this year has been our very capable Student Body President. Other than his executive duties, he has been very suc- cessful in the field of athletics. He is Miss Hamilton’s “dream come true” in English class and also one of the select few whom Mr. Thompson terms “round heads.” Best of luck in the future, “Red,” and we know that you will do well at Washington and Lee. ALLAN BEVERLY HOSTETTER “ Tater ” “Abe “Boss” Library Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice President, 8; Football, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Boys’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; Glee Club, 3. Allan is that boy who not only has time for his lessons, but also for his favorite sport, football. He also finds “coon” hunting a good sideline as well as Library Club work. So long, “Hoss” and watch those “coons.” RALPH McDILL HOSTETTER “Wimpy Boys’ Sports Club, 1; Arts and Crafts, 1. That good-natured tall guy who has been a familiar figure at L. H. S. for several years is none other than Ralph. A friend of everyone, students and teachers alike, he has always been a faithful supporter of all athletics. He keeps those windows at Rose’s Five and Dime shining, too. We bid farewell to a great guy and we wish him success in his future work with Uncle Sam. 10
