EARL JACKSON SWISHER “Squirrel” Boys’ Sports Club, i; Arts and Crafts, i; Aeronautics, 2. Zoom! That light gray streak that just flew around the corner was “Squirrel” in his Chevrolet. Even though his car is always loaded, Earl never refuses anyone a ride or any other favor. “Squirrel’s” funny laugh and jocular personality have won him many friends at L. H. S. and the favor of his teachers. The entire class wishes you good fortune, Earl. FRANKLIN DELANO TARDY “ F.D .” “ Speedy ” “ Speedway ” Boys’ Monogram Club, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 1, 2, 3; Latin Club, 2, 3; Science Club, 8, 1; Boys’ Sports Club, 8, Track, 3; Baseball, 2, 3, “Patience,” 3; Class Vice President, 2; Football Manager, 2. “F. D.,” that good-looking guy with the cheerful disposition, shall always reside in the memories of his fellow classmates and party boys. Although he has given a great deal of his time to entertaining the fair sex, “Mr. Tardy” always seemed to have his lessons well prepared. There is no doubt that “Speedy,” with his athletic ability, wonderful school spirit and sense of humor, will go far along the road to success. JAMES SPOTTSWOOD TARDY “Jim” “Big” “Eyes” Glee Club, 8, 1; Boys’ Monogram Club, 2, 3, 4; Football, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4. Who is that big tall boy coming down the hall? It’s none other than “Big,” the boy with the softest heart in school. He always finds time to travel over Buena Vista way or star on the football field. With his big eyes and winning smile Jim will long be remembered at L. H. S. We hope that the “Big Fellow” covers as much ground in life as he has on the gridiron. WILLIAM BARTON WRAY “Billy” “Tiger” “Toy” Glee Club, 8, 1,2, 3, 4; Boys’ Sports Club, 8. Looking for someone to really “knock” that piano for a “loop” or really sing you a good song? Well, “Toy’s” definitely your man. Although Billy has been knocked around pretty much in football and has been hobbling around on one leg off and on for the past two years, he, however, always has a cheery smile and greeting for everyone he meets. Best of luck always to one mighty little man. 4 15 )

CHARLES LAURIE SIMPSON “ Charlie ” “Fuzzy Baseball Manager, i ; Football Manager, 2. Charlie, one of the lucky students who doesn’t have to come to school until the fifth period, has been a great inspiration to the Class of 1951. A favorite of all brunette girls and an expert filling station operator, he has won many friends here at L. H. S. and will surely be missed by all of us. Good luck, “Fuzzy”! ! 1 FELICIA ROSE SIPOLSKI “Flee Basketball, 2; Red Pepper Club, 8; Glee Club, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 4; Cheerleader, 4, Latin Club, 1. Who’s that pretty girl who brightens the halls of L. H. S. with her big sunny smile? Why it’s none other than our own queen of the 1950 Home-Coming. Friendly, quiet “Flee” has been a success in everything she’s tackled here at the school. Although we hate to lose her we know she ' ll be as great an inspiration to the students at Mary Washington as she has been to us. Farewell, “Flee.” BARBARA ANN SLIGH “Bobby” “ Be- Bop Red Pepper Club, 8; F. FI. A., 8, 2, 3, 4. That tiny brunette who just flashed by was none other than our “Be-Bop.” Although she seems a little quiet and shy, she is loads of fun and is a whiz in that F. H. A. Club. We’re gonna miss you “Bobby,” we know those flirty dark eyes will get you places! Best of luck! MARTHA MARIE SMITH “ Smitty” Cheerleade r, 4; Basketball, 8, 1, 2, 3, ScarLetter Staff, Girls’ Sports Editor, 3, 4; Girls’ Monogram Club, 2, 3, 4, President, 2; F. H. A., 8; Red Pepper Club, 8, 1. Just take a look most anywhere around L. H. S., on the basketball court, in Miss Adair’s shorthand class, or even way down in the shop, and you’re sure to find a prominent member of the Senior Class. Who? None other than “Smitty,” the little girl with the great big heart. Whether it’s playing basketball, cheerleading, or doing classwork, “Smitty” does her best. Here’s to a gal the Class of ’51 won’t soon forget. 14 }!!«
