 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.

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.

 CARL HUMPHRIES “His very foot has music in it . Is he comes u the stairs.'1 Though lie’s been with us but two short years, he has made himself a valuable member of his class and an asset to the school. Carl and his harmonica form a familiar sight around the school. He has delighted his audiences in chapel and in literary society, and even on the steps at dinner hour he may he seen charming members of both sexes. STERLING JOHNSON “Itch ie “Personality is the thing that towers over everything else in the world.” Here’s to the most versatile member of F. H. S! He is truly a Jack of all trades.” His theatrical success began with “Old King Cole’’ and now no play seems complete without Sterling as the handsome young American. Sterling was a flashy and fast back on our football team. He has been rated by a number as one of the best basket-ball players in the state. He is popular with everyone and we could.write forever—but just ask the girls—they’ll tell you the rest. EFFIE JONES “Queen Pose of the rosebud garden of girls” Here's to our school beauty! When we think about it. Effic does most everything. She sang and danced straight to our hearts in Miss Cherry Blossom.” When F. H. S. says farewell to her. we wonder if there is not the dire possibility of V. S. A. losing her, too. because more than once we’ve seen those blue eyes looking fondly towards “Canada.”
