SENIORS 1941 MARVIN HAMMETT Marvin is a lad whose interest lies in the commercial department and he is excelled by few in this work. Initiative, dependability, and popularity arc his outstanding qualities. Marvin's ambition is to be an employee of the Bell Telephone company, and perhaps some day his friends will sec him at the top of the pole. SARAH HAMMETT Sarah, like most seniors, enjoyed her last years of high school more than anything else at S. H. S. She was, also, very fond of algebra. If Sarah ever spoke out of turn in class, it was a very unusual occurrence, because she is quite reserved. She plans to go to college next year. BILL HAMRICK Bill is one of the class shicks.

Her reserved manner seems to win friendships. She has grown very fond of Spartan High, particularly the Alma Mater, the chapel programs, and the basketball games. Her favorite subject i s bookkeeping. SARA HARRIS Sadie is a verv unusual type because she is eauipped to conquer the world with beauty, brains, and a zippy personality. Nothing ever seems to bother Sara. She admits that cheer practices and recess are her two favorite phases of school life. Jitter-bugging is s o m e-thing sne enjoys to the utmost. THELMA HART Thelma, also known as Shorty, certainly came by her name honestly. But despite her size, she can talk as much as the best of them. She thinks it a hard task to sit next to a special friend without a lively conversation. Thelma seems to take great pride in curling her hair and manicuring her nails. NORMA HATCHETTE Norma is one of the quiet, modest members of the senior class, but she always has a friendly smile for everyone she meets. Unlike most girls, her favorite sport is baseball. She also enjoys playing tennis and skating. Of her school life, she enjoyed most the assembly programs in the gym. RUTH HAVNAER Ruth is one of the Havnaers’' whom everyone is talking about for their outstanding popularity in Spartan High. She is not only remarkable in her school work, but she has a remarkable flair for making friends and keeping them. Her intelligence is surpassed only by her grand sense of humor. MILDRED HAWKINS Some people would consider Millie unusual, because her favorite subject is Latin. But that's not her only interest; she also enjoys swimming, dancing, and gardening; and dazzling her classmates with striking shades of nail polish also seems to give her great joy. SIDNEY HAWKINS Sidney's classmates will remember h i s great skill in preventing being called on by the teacher. At least one of his high school subjects, though—typewriting — has been quite enjoyable for him, and his favorite year at S. H. S. has been his senior one. Hawkie’s hobbies include hunting, playing baseball, and dating. GEORGE HENDLEY George is tall and lanky, and he uses these natural gilts to his advantage. In his first two years at S. H. S. he was on the B‘' football and basketball teams and also the track team. The past two years he has been a crooner in the chorus. He has a hobby of collecting pipes (ask him what kind.) WALTER HENEGAR Walter is the chief algebra expert in his class and he doesn’t mind telling others how to do the hard ones (thank goodness). He gets along well with everyone (including teachers) and it's very easy to unload some of your old jokes on him. He likes to play basketball, and is planning to attend T. I. I. ELIZABETH ANNE HERRING One of Bootie's greatest problems is deciding which school to be loyal to, Wofford or Clcmson. She is an excellent dancer and has participated extensively in the G. A. A. and on The Scribbler staff. She particuarly loves study halls and class change. She seldom, if ever, worries. OREN HERRING Oren is considered by many the Don Juan of Spartan high. His ood-looks, jittcr-ugging abilities, unmatched personality, and well-dressed appearance make him outstanding in popularity. Oren also writes a swing music column for The Scribbler. He is known for his dope on swing records. LOIS HIGH If you like someone who is interested in almost everything, well, you are looking for Lois. She has a charming personality and a cheerful smile. She was an active member of the Science, Biology, and Commercial clubs, and of the annual staff. She loves the movies and has an interesting hobby of collecting pictures. 27
