ffwmx be f t w 0' SCI'liO1' Class BERTII3 SI-IoRI2 WI NSTON-SALEM, N. C. I-Iappy am I, from fart' 1'm fret'- llflzy llffllif they all ronlfut lzka mr? But Bertie can be serious at times, and is aptly able to combine pleasure and work. DORA lXfIAY STIPE DIAMOND, WASH. Gentle, sweet, kind, and true are adjectives that may well be applied to Dora. She possesses an accomodating nature that insures conscientious application. She is thorough and trustworthy in all undertakings. ANNA lWACON WARD STONEVILLE, N. C. Ready to llflp ont' all lim fwlzilr, gl .renin of humor, too, a 5Illllt'.,' Anna Macon has not been with us the whole school year, but as she is one of those lucky in- dividuals who looks on the world and its woes with a smile, she has made up for lost time. lWARY CARR WILLIAMSON PINE HALL, N. C. Mary Carr lives so far away from us that we feel we do not really get to know her-which is our loss, of course. She is quiet and reserved- two traits which we consider very enviable. VVe marvel at Mary Carr's ability to take things as they come, never worrying about what the mor- row may bring forth. 13 'SW' FHKQWEYM

My X. J S6I1i0I' Class lX1ARTHA lWARGARET lWASTEN VVINSTON-SALEM, N. C. Still waters run deep. Margaret has been at Salem since her freshman year. Her conscien- tiousness, together with her quiet, steady manner, will carry her far on the highroad of success, for she has already demonstrated their worth at Salem. VIRGINIA FRANCES PERKINSON Perle nANvII,I,E, vA. Bring all the words together that mean depend- able, capable, willing, and energetic. Perhaps then it would he possible to describe Perla SlIe's another of those who have been with us four years, and she has certainly proved her worth. MARCIIERETTE ELIZABETH PIERCE AYIIEN, N, C. This is the first year that we have had Mar- guerette with us, but it did not take her long to win the love and confidence of her fellow stu- dents. XVe believe the future holds much for her and we predict a successful career in anything she undertakezz. lX'iARTHA SARGENT Mor HH NDERSONVILLE, N, C, VVe wonder what Martha is dreaming about, for that is what she seems to he doing most of the time. Martha left our ranks several years ago, but tlIe Class of '28 is proud to claim her again. However, she is not always lost in meditation, and often proves a jolly companion. I2 6i'M?3'7 U

b0e2' 4Q'! Class History IC arrived at Salem in the fall of IQ24, some of us having already been in the graded school here. VVe played with our sister class 111 the soccer games and gg lost. However, we were quite proud when we defeated the sophomores, 34-4, in basketball. Our pride fell, though, when the seniors defeated us. Our classes progressed very well, and we started on our social career in the Acad- emy by entertaining our big sisters with a Japanese party in the hut. lVhen we returned the next year we found that o11e of our teachers, llliss Davis, had married, but she continued to instruct us ill the dead language. That year, with Bliss Grace Taylor as our adviser, we progressed very well. She helped us wonderfully with the luncheon we gave the eleventh grade at the Robert IQ. Lee. XVe didn't win any of the sports that year, although we put up a good fight. Our third year we worked hard, still under the advisership of Miss Taylor, for the junior-senior banquet which we finally gave at the Country Club. VVe were quite thrilled when the eighth grade gave us a lovely picnic at Peter Pan Glen. A new sport was introduced our junior year, in which we all took a big interest. Although we had lost the soccer game and were rather discouraged at the time of the final speedball game, we played hard and, with the fine coaching of bliss Zachary and Nliss VVeaver, defeated the ninth and eleventh grades, 7-o. We also made a hard hght for the basketball cup, but failed to win it. VVhen we came back in the fall of ,27, we had a hard time realizing that we were at last dignified seniors. Several of the former classmates didn't come back, among whom was our class teacher who had married. lvliss Elizabeth Chase was chosen as class teacher for our se11ior year. The junio-rs honored us delightfully with a banquet at the Country Club, an occa- sio11 to which we had been looking forward since our high school days. The ninth grade gave us a lovely luncheon at the Blue VVillow, and at the close of the year we gave a farewell di1111er in honor of the faculty and Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler. Although a fairly good percentage of our class went out for athletics, We won none of the three major games. To those who are 11ot in our class and who will read this, it will seem that our history is not unlike a11y other, but to us it naturally seems individual, and this will, in years to come, perhaps ren1i11d us of other things that happened during the fo-ur years we were in the Academy.
