Of the fifteenth class what shall we say? VVhy they finished their tasks without delay. There was Claud Linton and Chester Parker, Both good students and one a good sparker, Dallas Terrell was there and Russell Hale- The way they've started they're not likely to fail, W'hile Alice Ridgway did her part In a way that warmed Professor Moore's heart. Nine handsome youngsters there were to delve For learningls treasures in nineteen-twelve. There was Daniel Leonard and Lora Wynkoop, Charles Stanley, who laughed when the ponies kicked up, Otis Pierson, james Ashby and Walter Reed, VVho sometimes felt for good ponies the need. Clara Woody was present and Minnie McClung, And Fem Linton, who has started to the ladderis top rung. Now beauty 'tis said is a good reason for being, This class you'll admit was sight worth seeing. john Sullivan who had finished at the C.N.C. Was conscientious and studious as teacher need be. Of jolly pedagogues there never was one To compare with Westerfield who looks like a bun Or a fat soda biscuit he resembles most nearly As wise observers can see quite clearly. The first was he to require an assistant, Miss McClung was chosen, reserved and distant. By combining their efforts they turned out two From a four-years' course, a feature new. Carroll McDonald who in a contest won And Edwin Terrell, a physician's son, Composed the class in the year fourteen At the fine new building, well equipped and clean. Now Geometry and Physics are thought not enough W'hile Latin is branded mostly hard work and bluff, Even History and Literature do not satisfy So Domestic Science is the thought best to try. Agriculture, too, for the bright farmer boys, Both music and drawing also add to life's joys. That proper instruction all students might gain , Two teachers were added Misses Nichols and McClain. Since this year,s class has so much Work and four teachers We extend our sympathy to the poor abused creatures. One teacher with bad eyes used to scold enough- To have four with good eyes must be very tough. But one plucky girl and three lads brave Have managed somehow their heads to save. Not one in the bunch could be called a greeneyg Verla Crawley, Paul jordan, and Thomas Feeney, And Miss Blanche Ashby, a Pittsboro Belle To one hundred and two our ranks will swell. Our Alumni, though scattered throughout this broad lanu Are united no doubt by a strong golden band, That of loyalty true to their fond Alma Mater, May each coming year make her better and greater, May her fair daughters grow in knowledge and grace, And her sons strong and noble each win in lifeis race. May the teachers remember that their calling is sacred Ever casting out wrong, dishonor and hatred, In good will and harmony striving each day To build character fit for eternity. Written by Alice Lowe. NOTICE-It was impossible to find a group picture of all the graduates from 1897 through 1916 so we have used group pictures with most of the graduates of a particular year. In the index beginning on page LIV, we will list the graduates of each year and identify the students in each picture. XIV
