ESTELLE CONN “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” Estelle is another classmate who “thinks twice and then talks to herself.” But, she does laugh! We have enjoyed having her with us these four years and know we shall miss her merry giggle when she leaves. The com- mercial department will miss this young typ- ist, too, for she was one of Mrs. Lake’s “right hand” typists. JOHN MILTON WARE “The strongest minds are often those This noisy world hears least.” Third Honor Student; Class Poet Feb. ’24. Johnny is one of the most popular boys in his class; quiet, with a certain dignity, he is liked by everyone in high school. He is stu- dious, too, his name is always seen on the honor roll and he was the third honor student of his class. Johnny is popular among the lad- ies, too. In fact, his friends are unlimited even in Hilton. Best of luck, Johnny boy. WILLIAM NICHOLLS “Willie” “He was the mildest mannered man that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.” Art Editor Beacon Annual. We realize that this quotation is extremely inappropriate but the idea of “Willie” doing such fearful things is so unique. “Bill” as the boys call him, is absolutely the quietest person ever. However, he thinks a lot and works hard. We are sorry to bid good-by to one so cheerful and amiable. Willie’s smile has won him a host of friends among his class- mates. 23

LUCY JAMES WHITE “May she be perpetual.” When someone must do something and do it well, in a hurry, then call on Lucy. She’ll do it gladly with a smile and when she is through it will be done in just the right manner. For Lucy is the sort of a girl who though quiet, likes to help and can. We are glad to call her “classmate.” STANLEY PILAND “Funny” “Audacity, more audacity, and always audacity.” Vice-President Senior Class; Editor-in-Chief Beacon, ’23; Editor-in-Chief Beacon Annual, ’24; Beacon Delegate V. I. P. C., ’23; Vice- President Class, ’21; President Class, ’22; Or- chestra, ’22-’23; Cheer Leader, ’23. If you know Funny you’ll never forget him. If you have heard the melodies he conjures up with his wailing saxaphone you will pat your foot to the tune of their recollections. We like Funny, we have worked with him, cheered with him, laughed with him, and we are proud to call him our “Funny.” VICTOR BRUNING MARVEL “Vic” “No great genius has existed without madness.” President Student Council, ’23; Vice-Presi- dent Athletic Association, 23; Class Prophet, ’24; Vice-President Philolethian Literary So- ciety, ’20; President Hi-Y Club, ’21-’22-’23; Class Play, ’22-’23-’24; Annual Play, ’22-’23; Associate Editor Annual, ’24. It’s hard to say just what we think of “Vic,” for he’s such an attractive and indescribable fellow words are inadquate. His witty remarks and famous grin have made him one of the most popular boys in school. Dancing is his specialty. With his delightful personality and bouyant spirit we are sure this class-mate will make as great a success of his life as he has his school days.

JOHN ASHLEY PULLEY “Hoss Pulley” “I shall either find a way or make one.” President Athletic Association; Football, ' 21- ’22-’23; Captain Football, ’23; Track, ’23; Mgr. Volleyball Room 9, Captain Safety Patrol. John’s quotations could well be termed his football motto, judging from the way he “bucks the line.” He is a real athlete and one of the best Newport News ever had. Not only in athletics was John popular, but he was one of the best liked fellows in school. John makes his personality felt wherever he goes. Here’s to his success! He will make many a touch- down in the game of life. FRANCES VOLK “Sookie” “I will be happy and free, I’ll be sad for no man.” Track Team ’23; Vice-President Student Club, ’23; Hame Room Representative, ’23; Treasurer Philolethian Literary Society, ’23; Class Creed; Annual Staff. “Sookie” is either one of the most shy or one of the most independent creatures known. Writing limericks and blank verse is her weakness. One of her best known and most appreciated works is “And I Learned About Women From Her.” It is a sad recital of var- ious “crushes” on well known members of the faculty. SOLOMON HERMAN GOLDBERG “Scoots” “Talents differ, all is well and wisely put.” “Scotts” hasn’t done much to impress the school but he has certainly come across with his quota of help in all class activities. He is very prompt and business like in money mat- ters which is a sure sign of success in the future. 24
