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

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

MARTHA McKEMY “ Martha ” Hi-Y Club, 8; F. H. A., 8; Red Pepper Club, i; Basketball, 3, 4. We all think of Martha as a first rate athlete. Not only is she one of the best guards on our basketball team, but she also leads in other sports as well. Often we have envied Martha of her “happy-go-lucky” mood. She always seems so carefree; sometimes she even seems nonchalant about everything. In her years at L. H. S. Martha has endeared herself to all of us. We know that with her friendly personality, she will go far in life. Smooth sailing, Martha! You deserve it. DORIS ANN NUCKOLS “Doris” Crystal Staff, Editor, 4; Scar Letter Staff, Business Manager, 3; Latin Club, 1, 2, 3; Girls’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; F. H. A., 8; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Manager, Girls’ Basketball Team, 2; Glee Club, 8. Wherever you see a group of laughing girls (or boys), there you’ll find Doris telling the latest jokes. W ith her irresistible manner and wit, Doris has made many friends here at L. H. S. who will not soon forget her! In addition to her vivacity and good looks, she has a few brains under that crew cut of hers, for she has ably edited this yearbook. Now it’s Roanoke and nursing for Doris. So long for now, Doris, and the best of luck. SHIRLEY VIRGINIA POPE “Pope” “ Palsey ” “ Byebucy” Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey Team, 4; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Girls’ Monogram Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club, 8, 1; Cheerleader, 1, 2, 3, 4; Hall of Fame, 1, 2, 3, 4; Library Club, 2, 3, Vice President, 2, President, 3; ScarLetter Staff, 2, 3; F. H. A., 8; Arts and Crafts Club, 8; Dramatic Club, 4; Class Secretary, 3. A bundle of energy plus more wit than you can think of — that’s Shirley. She’s one of our star basketball players, too, although she spends a lot of time wiping up the court. “Pope,” we’ll never forget the games, the wonderful summers and your numerous male admirers. Although you will be sadly missed at L. H. S., we want you to always “keep ’em smiling.” ANNE MARIE RAYDER “Pooh” Red Pepper Club, 8, 1; Arts and Crafts Club, 8; Latin Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Dra- matic Club, 2; Glee Club, 2; Cheerleader, 2, 3. “ Five-feet-two, eyes of brown, cutest little girl in town! Has anybody seen our Pooh?” Yep, Pooh is that happy-go-lucky girl in the Senior Class, who has dashed straight into everyone’s heart. Whether walking briskly to school or hurridly preparing classwork, we think of her as a grand girl with a laughing countenance and a friendly personality. Best of luck, Pooh! •€{ 12
