SAM BERNARD ARONOW “Sam” “Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.” Sam is one of the quietest members of our class. However, when it comes to class spirit or work, Sam is right there. He is a member of that family which seem to win all the medals and official positions which the school affords. 27

MARIE BROWN “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” EDWIN COYNER “Eddie” “The sweetness of doing nothing.” DOROTHY PULLEN “Dot” “Love me little, love me long.” Representative Student Council, ’24; Adver- tising Manager Beacon Annual, 24; Class Sec- retary, ’21-’22-’23-’24; Class Treasurer, ’23-’24; Track Medal, ’23; Class Executrix. Besides being our most attractive girl, it has also been suggested that we make Dot the class Beatrice Fairfax. For if there is any heart trouble on which Dot is not an expert we have not been able to find it. She’s always in love with someone and we believe her “af- fairs de coeur” all add to her host of friends and comrades. We have only one fault to find with Dot and that is she just won’t tell who is the man. Marie is about the most happy-go-lucky member of the class. Her winning smile and carefree manner are well known all around the school. Anyone who has seen Marie laboring over the Beacon circulations will admit that she often settles down to hard work. Marie also flashes Annapolis cuff-links, rings, etc. We wonder what lucky mortal she has vamped now. Face all of life’s problems in your care- free manner, Marie, and we are sure you will succeed. Football, ’23-’24; Class Play, ’24. Here’s our class “Lazy Man.” Eddie doesn’t fancy the title much, but of course he can’t help himself. They say he is the laziest man on the fo otball squad. However, if we judge from his playing laziness might be included in the squad’s training next fall. Eddie’s good- natured smile and merry laugh have helped us wile away many an organization period in the old home room. 26

CREED OF THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY, 1924 By Frances Yolk We, Hie class of February, ’24, having reached the end of our high school career, wish to write the creed by which we have lived during our four years here. Although it may seem like the creeds of other classes, we believe these things so deeply that we feel we must express thi ' in. However widely our class may be separated after we graduate, we feel sure that each member will remember and be true to its “Creed.” We believe in the ideals for which the Newport News High School stands, and we shall endeavor to live up to them. We believe in Fred M. Alexander, our principal, and in our faculty, who have been so untiring in their efforts in our behalf, and we wish them to know that we appreciate all they have done for us. Wo believe in athletics as the promoter of the splendid spirit of our school and we believe our coaches are the best we could possibly get. We believe in the Beacon as representative of the students of the Newport News High School. We believe in the orchestra and all other forms of expression of the school spirit. We believe in the School Board and in our Superintendent, whose combined efforts have made possible the new high school building, and who are constantly planning to help and improve the school. We believe that the spirit of the school will never die, but will be ever present in all the students. We believe in Virginia, the mother of states, as the best in this great Union. We believe in the United States of America as the greatest Democ- racy of the world. Above all, we believe in God, our creator, and in Him do we trust. 28
