SENIORS 1941 ELAINE BOUKEDES Long black hair, a friendly smile, and indescribable eyes are the characteristics of Elaine, the capable president of Section 4-D. She can often be found day dreaming; that is an occupation of which she is particularly fond. The only people who don't love her arc the ones who don't know her. JAMES BREWER All football players love to cat and sleep, and James is no exception. This merry cntleman seems to ave changed his vocational ambitions quite a few times—f r o m scientist to athlete, and then to the navy. However, it is certain that he will succeed in anything as long as he keeps that “beaming Brewer” 'itnile. ESTHER BROWN Esther, tall and stately, has a bright smile lor everyone. She is a good sport and a true pal, and has a charming personality. She always likes to do the unusual thing. All in all, Esther is a delightful person to be around, and inevitably she works her way into the hearts of thcfce who know her. VIRGINIA BOWIE Virginia seems to have received more than her share of intellect and musical ability. We predict for her a brilliant operatic career, which has already begun in local productions. We wonder why “V. Bowie” likes French so well? Is it Mrs. Kerr's heart-to-heart talks or the people in the class? MARTHA LOU BREWINGTON Martha Lou is a God send to the program chairman. She is always willing to take part and prepares her parts well. In addition, Martha Lou takes her work seriously and impresses everyone with her capability. She is, however, by no means a solemn scholar, and makes a good sport and sympathetic friend. EVELYN BROWN If you hear a giggle and some babv-talk,” you’ll probably sec Evelyn Brown nearby. The people that don’t love her are the ones that have never seen her. Her smiling face and good nature have won for her many friends. She belonged to the Classical Club for two years, and was home room secretary in the eighth grade. LAWSON H. BOWLING, JR. For three years ”L. H.” attended Central High, where he held many useful offices, being twice manager of the basketball team and also manager of the football team. At S. H. S. he has stood high in his class, and served as business assistant on the Annual staff. He is congenial, and enjoys associating with other students. JOHN BROOKSHIRE, JR. A newcomer to Spartanburg i j the state president of the Beta Club, John Brookshire. During his short time here he has become popular. This may be because of his infectious smile and ood disposition. He is a shark about activities and keeps himself busy most of the time. Music is his hobby. KATHLEEN BROWN Brown-eyed, blackhaired Kathleen ha'i lived in many states, but chose South Carolina and S. H. S. for her senior year in high school. Her teachers and classmates have found her to be neat and accurate. Her main personality trait is a sort of quiet charm. She has been useful to her home room as a pianist. STELLA BOYD You might easily call Stella Breezy,” a name that fits her perfectly. She can always dig up something to worry about, and somehow always seems to, but she has an almost endless supply of good nature and energy. Stella is particularly noted for her ability to get her automobile around corners without the use of wheels. BEN BROWN Hats off to Ben! We wonder how one can be so fine in so many wa j. The basis of Ben's success in high school is his depth of character, plus h i s quiet sincerity and friendly humor. He is first chair clarinetist and band manager; thi i is a combination of honors never held before in S. H. S. history. KENNETH BROWN Kenneth, our Student Council president, has won, by his Smiling eyes and frank manner, the loyal support, and admiration of S. H. S.'s student body and faculty.

Although his teachers accuse him of being a trifle lazy, he has a brain and uses it. He has a way of making witty comebacks which would stop even a professional humorist. Even though his hobby is sleeping, he has been indispensable as business manager of The Scribbler. MILTON BROWN Milton is a quiet type of boy, or at least he seldom gets into trouble.
