KEITH PEARSON JAMES “Keith Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, Lead in “Elmer”; “Laurel Leaf Look Down”; Football 2, 3, Assistant manager 2, Head manager 3; Head baseball man- ager 2; Monogram Club 2, 3. Keitb! Why go on? You’ve all heard him over the radio, WREL, that is. Although Keith has never gone out for sports, he has played an important role in athletics during the many seasons that he was manager for the L. H. S. football and baseball team. Lack of height doesn’t seem to phaze our James when it comes to making those countless trips to Buena Vista to pat a certain little gal’s head. Well, Keith, sound off on that radio. We’re wishing you all the success in the world. DAVID LEWIS MEADE “David Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2; Mechanics Club 4. If you are looking fo t a handsome, happy-go-lucky fellow with a lot of school spirit, you need look no farther. The Senior Class is indeed for- tunate to have such a friend in its midst. David, who will probably become a famous architect some day, has had time not only for s tudies, but also for outside activities. With his winning smile David will go on to new conquests in his chosen field. DORIS LOUISE NEELY “ Louise ” Library Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Forensic Club 1; Honor Court 3; Executive Committee 2, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 4; Crystal Staff 4. There are many cute blondes, but there is only one Louise. In her memorable years of L. H. S. this wonderful gal has lead friends and teacher alike to believe that she can and will do anything to help her fellowman. The halls of L. H. S. will seem deserted without you, Louise, but we all say from the bottom of our hearts, “Good luck to a swell gal with brains, looks, ability, and everything that makes you the admirable Louise we will always remember.”

PENELOPE GRAVES “Pen” Dramatic Club 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4, Editor 4; Crystal Staff 4. When a clever joke, spiced with the speaker’s hearty laughter is heard, Pen can not be far away. Here is a gal whp is a bundle of spark, gracious- ness, and personality, rolled into one. Pen’s ability and grades are tops in the class, but tops on her list is a certain First Classman who has put her right into the “Gibson Girl Style”. Goodbye, good luck, good wishes, too (yeah, you’ve heard that old line). Let’s just say, “So long, it’s been good to know ya’. And let it go at that .... SARAH MARSHALL IRVINE “Sarie” “Sarah” “ Country ” “Sally” Glee Club 1, 2; Latin Club 1, 3, 4; Honor Court 3, 4; ScarLetter Staff 3, 4; Crystal Staff 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4. Anyone looking for a very versatile little (?) gal who is always manag- ing somehow to get everything done at the last minute? She even has a few minutes to spare for a certain cute little B. T. U. member! Well, here she is, for Sarah has had a finger in practically every pie at L. H. S. — basketball, Honor Court, ScarLetter Staff, just to mention a few. We know she will make as many friends in Kentucky as she has at L. H. S. We wish you luck in the future, Sally. GEORGIA MABREY JACKSON “ Georgia ” Latin Club 1; Glee Club 2; Dramatic Club 2, 3; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4, Feature Editor 4; Crystal Staff 4. Mademoiselle Jackson arrived here from “Bally-more” just in time to say “My soul” and start high school with the rest of us. Georgia, the Geometric Kid, showed great promise during her exposition to the mystic manipulation of Arabic numbers and English letters, commonly known and dreaded as algebra. Georgia will long be remembered as the gal who stole the show in the Dramatic Club Play. Broadway, you can have your “Gigi” — we’ve got our “Gaga”! We’ll miss her, but we send her off to college with a big “Bon Voyage”.

JAMES LOVING PULLEN “Jimmy “ Pulley ” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; “Patience”, “Mikado”; Latin Club 1, 2, 3; ScarLetter Staff 2, 3, 4; Mechanics 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Monogram Club 3, 4. Jimmy, one of the prominent members of the Class of ’52, is known to all not only as an outstanding athlete, but also as a capable student. Because of his dependability, pleasant personality, and ability to make friends, “Pulley” will long be remembered at L. H. S. by both students and teachers. Born with printer’s ink in his blood, Jimmy plans to make print- ing his career. We know the future holds much for him, so here’s wishing the best of luck U a very deserving fellow. MARY ANN ROWSEY “Mary Ann” Red Pepper Club 1; Glee Club 2, 3; F. H. A. 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 2, Song Leader 3, Reporter 4. The halls of L. H. S. are brightened by the sunny smile of a par- ticular gal in school. Ruddy complexion, studded with big bright eyes and surrounded by a head of golden brown hair are possessions of Mary Ann. This tall girl is a friend of everyone in school, but a special sort of friend to a certain person across the border in Tennessee. May her future bring happiness, and may all her dreams come true. VINCENT ERNEST SPERKA “Ernie “ Sperk ” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Executive Committee 1. As an athlete he’s outstanding, as a pupil he does well, and as a friend he’s tops. That’s our boy “Sperk”. What makes him tick? Well, nobody knows except “Ernie”, but he sure ticks fast most of the time. He gets along as well out of school as in school and we’re sure our little stick of dynamite will succeed. Good luck, Ernie, from all of us.
