We also leave in his care all funds remaining in the class treasury to be used in the construction of a new high school building. To Mr. Shields, who has patiently guided our course through four years, we leave a mortgage on our future. We also leave to him our desks with all their marks and carvings as sym- bolic of our studiousness and high-mindedness. To the faculty, in appreciation of their services to us, we do bequeath all facts and knowledge imparted to them through our examination papers, which information is to be given out to the world, when the world is ready to receive it. Helen George leaves her position as Editor of The Cub to any one having plenty of time, a strong right arm, a hard-boiled disposition, and a gift of gab. Dopey Lawrence leaves his ability to make wise cracks to Meyer Hahn. Braxton George leaves some of his extra avoirdupois to Mark Dunn. -Nat Dixon wills his executive ability to the future president of the Class of '31. Billy Ferebee, provided he doesn't return to N. B. H. S. next year, bequeaths to Jack Cannon his boldness. Evelyn Pittman leaves her dramatic ability to Hazel Brewer. -Hugh Watson wills his general uselessness to Jimmy Hodges. -Warren Tyndall leaves his printing ability to Jack Hellinger. 12.-Charles Styron leaves his amiable disposition and super- abundance of energy and ambition to Billy McDonald.

She is very neatly dressed in modern clothes. Her costume con- sists of a black satin dress, a white apron and a white head-dress. She is head of the servants, quarters in Mr. James Henderson's home. It seems that Mr. Henderson gained his wealth in the oil business at Havelock. I now see in the western state of Oregon, a prim little school teacher. Well, if it isnyt Grace White-an old, old chum of mine! She is wearing glasses and I ask her why. She tells me that she has to wear them in order to keep men away. Next, scenes drift back to France, and I see Christabell Barbour hap- pily married to her French boy whom she got acquainted with in French Class Correspondence at N. B. H. S. Little Marie settled at last with Joe on the eastern side of New Bern. Joe just couldn't resist her wicked smiles. Now he is forever bound but he seems to enjoy it very much, though. Three cheers for their future! Next we come to a beautiful home overleeking a large lake. As I stop to admire this enchanting place, a lovely young woman and a handsome young man appear on the scene. They are Evelyn Pittman and Hugh Watson-the ardent school lovers of the past-they appear just as much in love today as in 1930. Out in Topeka, Kansas, is pictured Callie Mae Petway. Callie Mae has never married but she isn't an old maid, by any means. She has about ten or twelve sweethearts. She is a star and pays each man 3100.00 per month just for publicity. Next we come to Sylvia Gwaltney, who resides in the suburbs of Los Angeles with Sonny Boy. She seems to have forgotten some of her baby ways and baby talk. Maybe she just doesn't have to use it any more. Eula Stewart is one of the greatest fliers of today. She has risked her life more than any other young lady of the World. She has done more aerial feats this past year than any man or woman in the universe. At present she is working with Barnum Sz Bailey Circus on the high trapeze. That difficult little girl arises before our eyes and we look around and see that she is still in New Bern, enjoying life With her Jimmie, We have not told you who she is-nor do We think it necessary to do so, but in case you have forgotten how to think as you did in 1930-it is just ole Dolly Foote. Evelyn, Evelyn, please get up. You have kept me waiting for almost an hour. What on earth are you doing up here, asleep? Oh, Effie! I have had the grandest time, I've just seen all of the Class of 1930 in their different personal and professional spheres-ten years hence. 'But come on, and go on down to Shaw's and I'll tell you all about it

SECTION II To Maxine Dowdy, Hazel Brewer, Maria Brinson and Edith Weeks, we, Sophia Benton and Jessie Mann, the speed de- mons of the typewriting world, will our success in the State Contest. Pennie Glover, Isabel King, and Irma Williams leave their endless flow of talk to Georgia Brewer, Grace Smith, Mary Lansche, and Mary Brewer, and we sincerely hope that they will take full advantage of this heritage.
