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

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

ELIZABETH PENN HUMPHRIS “ Betty “Ump” Cheerleader, 2, 3, 4; ScarLelter Staff, 2, 3, 4; Secretary, Student Body, 4; Honor Court, 8, 4; Class President, 8; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Arts and Crafts Club, 8; Latin Club, 8, 1; F. H. A., 8; Hall of Fame, 3. If brains, good looks, and personality are the elements of success — “Little Ump” is far on her way to the top. Whether it is working on a “creation” in Shop, cheerleading, or drawing, she always does it wholeheartedly and thus has captured the hearts of friends and teachers at L. H. S. Despite being so busy she finds time for her long line of admirers. Best of luck to a swell gal! GRACE IANNUZZI “Grade” Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 3; F. H. A., 8; Basketball, 1, 2; Latin Club, 1; Class Secretary-Treasurer, 2; Dramatic Club, 2; ScarLelter Staff, Reporter, 2, Copy Editor, 3, Managing Editor, 4. Grace! Need we say more! Here comes that graceful, smiling, dark-haired girl whose good nature and pleasing personality make her a favorite among her classmates and teachers. “Gracie” is a very studious and dependable girl who believes in putting the most into everything and also in getting the most out of everything. Good luck to you, Grace! 1 RONALD YOUNG JORDAN “ Jordonski” “ Ronnie ” Executive Committee, 1; Boys’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; Track, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2. It’s a bird; no, it’s a plane- — no it’s neither one, but just “Jordonski” skid- ding to a stop in that beautiful F ' ord. Ronnie has added much to the school in the past years; not only on the gridiron, but also inside school among his many class- mates. He is quiet, but that ole personality isn’t lacking a bit. Ask Charleston! Keep up the good work, Ronnie; we’ll never forget you. FRANK JUDSON LEECH “ Juddy ” “J‘ggy” “Pete” Executive Committee, 2, 3; Honor Court, 4; ScarLetter Staff, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2; “Pirates of Penzance,” 8; President of Class, 3. Take a bundle of brains plus a tremendous personality, good looks and witty remarks and you have our one and only Judson. He is always willing to help everyone with his homework — from eighth grade Math to Mr. Thompson’s fourth year Physics. With his abundance of friendliness “Juddy” is bound to succeed at V. M. I. next year. He will be sadly missed by both teachers and students in future years when his beaming face is no longer seen in the portals of L. H. S. Au revoir, “Jiggy-” 4 U
