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

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

SOL CHARLES WERBLOW “Sol” “The style itself is the mqn.” Did you see Sol “kid” day? Since then we have decided that he will surely become a farmer for he takes the part to perfection. Sol is quiet but does not mind expressing himself when called upon to do so. An excel- lent student with plenty of school spirit. He performs his duties with the ability of one who will succeed. MARY ROYALL “Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee, Jest and youthful jollity.” Giggles, giggles, giggles. What is Mary laughing at now? We sometimes wonder what she finds to laugh at so often, but then “Fun- ny’s” always near and where we find “Funny” we find smiles and giggles. The class as a whole will miss the happy-go-lucky manner and smile of our class chatterbox and giggles. Good luck, Mary, and may you always see the funny side of life. LUCILLE EVELYN PARKER “Fortune favors the bold.” Lucille ran Mary Royall a close second for chatterbox when we held our elections. She is one of the greatest talkers in school and argue — she should enter the debating contest. It is Lucille’s chief delight to explain to Mr. Stanley the disadvantages of exercises. 25
