AGNES BRIDGERS Agony “She's all my fancy painted her, She's I (reely, she's divine.” F. H. S. has had her Joneses, Browns and Smiths, but only one Agnes. “Aggie” seems to have a part monopoly on chewing gum, study halls, dimples, sweet smiles and popularity. If there's anything nice you can't say about her, we haven’t discovered it yet. RUTH BROWN “Rufus “Hail to our Chief ” Just mention a study this little lady does not excel in—impossible. As Mr. Cicero’s interpreter she has successfully pled the cause of many poor Juniors. Although not an athlete, she has done more than her bit, cheering with the H. H. H.’s on the sidelines. We respect and admire her for her ingenuity and efficiency, like her for her friendliness and generosity, but love her. just because she is Ruth. SARAH ANTOINETTE BRUNSON “Country Helter-skelter H urry-scurry.” A wee small girl, but full of “pep.” It hardly seems that one girl could possess such a heavenly smile and such an impish eye. Her friendly and unselfish disposition have won for her the honor of being the most popular girl in school. Probably her “talkativity” has helped her win this, for when she has the floor—good night! Her favorite study is the history of Revolutionary times and her historical hero is “Francis” (in) Marion.

VJ HELEN BARNWELL “Ecky” “Down on your knees, And thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.” “Ecky” is just an all-round girl and everybody knows it. She is not only a star athlete and basket-ball player, but she is also famous for her wondrous impersonation of “Alma Gluck. She has proved herself a splendid student and worker. Honors without stint have been accorded her from class treasurer to l est all-around girl. All of us hate to lose “Miss Charleston,” for she is quite amusing to all of us. all the time. Helen will no doubt make some fellow an “Eckynomical” wife. MALINDA BARNWELL “Belinda” “Hitch your wagon to a star.” “Miss Watkins, you know I deserve more than ninety-five,’ drifts daily from the Virgil class. Ambition with a capital A is the keynote to Malinda’s character. Her high ideals put the rest of us to shame. Malinda has a hidden quality which not many of us appreciate—the love of classical music. Her perseverance and determination are Ixnmd to carry her far “in hoc orbe terrarum.” EMMA BLACKWELL “She's fair, at tract hr, and for someone a treasure.” A good sport with a winning smile and laughing eyes is Emma. She is one of the very few who has a fellow in any little “ole” town in South Carolina. We may safely say that Bamberg so far lias her preference. We often wonder whether she’ll continue her education there or in regions unknown?

M k W w EUGENE BRYCE “Gene” “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. Gene” is a man-about-town as the speed cop can testify. His keen sense of humor is exhibited—especially in history class. He is a likable fellow and numbers bis friends by the score. Although a real He man,” Eugene lias the distinction of being the most stylish boy in the Senior class. CLAIRE BURCH A lady richly clad as she, beautiful exceedingly: When we read about Robin Hood and the fat little Friar.” we do not wonder that Claire loves the Greenwood and when we see Claire, we do not wonder that everybody loves her. Who can resist a dazzling smile and a pair of sparkling eyes? Ibis happy maid charms the world around her, and F. H. S. laments the fate that takes away one so fair. AUDREY CALCUTT Her modest looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose that peeps beneath the thorn. Brown curls, and a lovely smile make up this little bunch of winsomeness. Audrey is the star poet of our class and some floor fellow is always falling victim to her poems of endearment.” Every Monday morning she comes with a pathetic theme which brings tears to the eyes of her listeners.
