DOROTHY AUGUSTINE RENNIE “Dot yy “Dot”, the blond bombshell of the Senior Class, is our best looking Senior, according to the choice of the high school students. She is willing to cooperate and do her share in everything. Dorothy’s greatest weakness is spelling and she can be seen any where in school with her spelling book in hand. She loves to dance and takes part in all extra-curricular activities at school. Her pleasant ways and likable dispo¬ sition have made her a friend of all—especially when they see her leave class to ring the bell. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: Dramatic Club, Glee Club. 1942- 1943—Treasurer: Sophomore Class; Member: Dramatic Club, Glee Club. 1943- 1944—Member: Dramatic Club, Soft Hall Squad, Student Council Representative. 1944- 1945—Secretary: Dramatic Club; Member: Stonewall News Staff, Student Council Representative; Cir¬ culation Manager: The Confederate. GERTRUDE ADA STUMP “Gertie” Gertie has been with us since our Freshmen year. Everyone finds her charming because of her brown curly hair, green eyes, and pleasant smile. She is earnest in her opinions and, like all of the Seniors, enjoys having fun. Gertie is one of our bi ' ightest students, and has taken part in many activities. After graduating she wants to join the Nurse Cadet Corps. For the first two months of this year, Gertie attended Fairfax High School at Fairfax, Virginia, but she returned here to graduate with the rest of us. However, even though she returned, we’re afraid she left her heart behind. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: 1942- 1943—Member: 1943- 1944—Member: 1944- 1945—Member: Glee Club, Dramatic Club.

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.

CHARLES GLENVIL WHIT ACRE “Gimmie” Glenvil is undoubtedly the most energetic member of the Senior Class. Witty, intelligent, practical-minded, he has al¬ ways thought things out for himself. Stonewall will long remember with pride and gratitude how magnificently he has worked on stage lighting, the newspaper, general repairs, and in Science and Chemistry classes. He is especially interested in mathematics and sciences. He also “tinkers” around with electricity and photography and various inventions which he hopes some day will make him wealthy. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: Dramatic Club, Hobby Club, Glee Club. 1942- 1943—Member: Stonewall News Staff. 1943- 1944—Publisher: Stonewall News. 1944- 1945—Publisher: Stonewall News; Member: Football Squad; President: Senior Class; Photographic Edi¬ tor: The Confederate. MARY CATHERINE WHITE “Cassie” Who’s that attractive little blond tripping down the hall? Why, it’s none other than “Cassie”, who has won many friends during her three years here at Stonewall High. She works hard on the Stonewall News as typist and is willing to cooperate with us in any way. You can always see her playing any game which is in progress during Physical Educa¬ tion. Whenever you see any little pixies drawn on paper or in the Annual, you know Mary Catherine has spent a lot of time on them. All the Senior girls are a little envious of her ambition to be a pilot. It must be convenient as well as in¬ teresting during this man power shortage. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942.—Attended Stephens City School 1942- 1943—Member: Dramatic Club, S. C. A.
