SARAH HARRELL “Like glimpses of forgotten dreams Sarah has a low soft voice and a winning smile which has endeared her to us, from the very first. She is a good sport, always ready to help the other fellow. Sarah is finer than most of us for the simple reason that she doesn’t allow - the opposite sex to worry or “bore’’ her. You’re a peach, Sarah, we wish you luck in whate’er you may do! ALTON HASELDEN The magic of the tongue is the most dangerous of all spells'’ A. C. can see more out of the corner of his eyes than others can see out of their two eyes. His fiery debating has won for him recognition throughout the school. At first he seems very quiet, hut once you know him you can see the mischief in his eye, and little smiles twitching around his lips. At present Alton appears to cherish his beard. JOSEPHINE HAYES “Joe” “A fair example of modernism” Sometimes she is just “Joe,” and then again she is Josephine, according to the mood she is in; because at times she reaches the heights of dignity, worthy of any queen. “Joe ’ prefers wood to coal, especially “Lin” wood. She is a quiet charming specimen of the American girl, and we feel sure that she possesses a sufficiency of that indefinable, elusive quality which brings success to the possessor.

W Mil SIDNEY GREEN “Sid The combined qualities of gentleman, student, and a great athlete.” “Sid is always there, especially on the basket-ball court where, as a guard, he has played a splendid game for three years.

MARION HART Within the halls of knowledge he doth stand. Vet still he finds time to flivver o'er the land ” Since coming to F. H. S. this tall black-eyed lad has become popular with both girls and boys. Absolutely square in his attitude towards his friends and classmates his reputation as a real fellow is well deserved. WILLIAM HAIGH “Billy” “A town that boasts inhabitants like me, Can hare no lack of good society” Here is our “Stylcplus.” our ladies’ man and an excellent dancer.

 BATSON HEWITT “A scholar, yes, a genius, yes, and more, a gentleman ” As a baseball captain and schoolmate, Batson is “there with the goods.” In athletics he has shone brilliantly, in his studies he is unsurpassed. In fact, he has “saved more than one poor geometry pupil. We are all watching Batson and we know that some day he will put Mechanicsville” on the map. Good bye, “Wade Hampton.” MILDRED HINES “She can dance, she can sing She can do most anything The above describes Mildred in every detail. Frivolous, fun-loving and fickle we’ll admit, but a good sport with a ready smile which endears her to all of us. We wonder if she intends to pursue a career (?) or go to live in Darlington. Anyway. we’re always with you, Mildred 1 CATHERINE HUDGINS “Cat” “Little bit of a lady. Isn't she sweet and wise?” “Purple and Gold” is glad to claim this brown-eyed smiling Miss. Her gentle manner and quiet appearance have endeared her to us all. “Cat” would make a precious Chinese doll, but she’ll probably be a housewife who doesn’t have to bake her own bread. As a guard on the Senior team, she has been the “Waterloo” of more than one forward.
