JAMES VERNON HUTTON, JR. “Hutch” Many of us have followed Jimmy since the second grade. Followed? Yes, for he has always been a leader. Having always taken a major part in public events of the school, he won the public speaking award of the Virginia Lit¬ erary and Athletic Association in 1944. Hutton reads and studies a lot and always has his homework (with the exception of, perhaps, a few times in this busy Sen¬ ior year of ours). His favorite study, history, which to him is almost a talent, he has pursued diligently through the years- never to be satisfied with any grade lower than an “A”. He, as most American youths, inherited a love for baseball and is an ardent “fan”. He now plays “first-string” at the “initial sack” (although, as is the custom, he has varied his position from time to time—that is since the second grade.)

MARY ELLEN NETHERS “Mary Ellen” Who’s that we hear gpggling? Of course, its Mary Ellen. However, she isn’t laughing all the time—just when the notion strikes her. Mary Ellen is our best-all-around Senior, a title she well deserves. She is very co-operative and takes part in all sports and school activities. She has worked hard on the annual and has made a very good Editor. We know she will be liked and admired as much in the future as she has been here at Stonewall.

CATHERINE GOLIGHTLY “Golig’htly” Now gaze upon Catherine Golightly, one of our typing wizards. Catherine joined our class in her Junior year and since then has become one of us. She is a good student and also one of the few blondes of the Senior Class. You will find her a rare good pal an d one who takes part in all school activities. She is not sure of her future but maybe it’s the Wacs ? ? ? ? We see she has really been drilling that group in marching! Seriously though, we know she will be a great success, especially if she makes good use of her typing ability. ACTIVITIES 1941-1942—Attended school at Boyce. 1943- 1944—Member: Dramatic Club, Soft Ball Squad. 1944- 1945—Typist:. Stonewall News, The Confederate; Secre¬ tary: Monogram Club; Member: Dramatic Club. HELEN JUANITA GORDON “Helen” Helen is one of the quiet, serious girls in the Senior Class, but she is well liked by everyone. She studies quite a lot and always has her homework up-to-date. Her expert typing gives her a job as typist on the Stonewall News and also on The Confederate Staff. If there is anything to be done, you can depend on Helen trying to help in any way she can. In the future she plans to go to Business College and we all hope that she will make as good a stenographer as she has an office girl at Stonewall. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: Dramatic Club, Glee Club. 1942- 1943—Member: Dramatic Club, Glee Club. 1943- 1944—Member: Dramatic Club; Stonewall News Staff. 1944- 1945—Member: Dramatic Club, Softball Squad; Typist: Stonewall News, The Confederate.

DOUGLAS BOYER O’CONNELL “Dougie” Dougie, the guy who enjoys his own jokes so much that he goes into hysterics before he lets you in on the laugh, is al¬ ways charming, cheerful, and “equipped with a built-in chuckle.” We doubt that he ever had a serious thought—or at least agree that if he did, he didn’t take it seriously. He can always see the “Good” side of any situation—even if it hasn’t one. Our only pianist, Dougie plays semi-classical and popular music, but prefers “Boogy Woogy.” “Cute”, as the girls would say, he is always neat and a gentleman. He usually seems to “shy” away from girls— that is, girls, in the plural. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: Glee Club 1942- 1943—Member: Hobby Club 1944-1945—Typist: Stonewall News, The Confederate; Mana¬ ger: Baseball Team. DOROTHY VIRGINIA OWENS “Dot” Dorothy, better known to us as “Dot”, is new at Stonewall this year. Her keen sense of humor keeps the Senior girls laughing all the time. She is very quiet but will always co¬ operate with us. When anything is discussed in class meet¬ ings, it is always all right with her, no matter what it may be. Her friendly face (which incidentally is sprinkled with freck¬ les) and her pleasant manner have made her liked by every¬ one in the Senior Class. ACTIVITIES 1941-1943—Attended Stephens City School 1944-1945—Member: Dramatic Club, Finance S. C. A. Committee of
