I? a ea e Kn attraction of Wilson and of A. C. C. Ruth Skinner, song writer, and Farmville’s future leader, has become a genuine suffragette. Parron Gallop, Historian, de- scribes himself as “Jarvisburg’s bud that is about to bloom.” Agnes Cobb, Secretary, is Wilson’s most notable society belle. Charlie Grey Raulen is without doubt Wilson’s most advanced actress and enter- tainer. Louise Tomlinson, of Wilson, possesses marked ability in domestic art. Reba Stubbs, Wilson’s school madam, is another attractive reader, kill Winstead is Elm City’s first-class artist. Now that we are leaving the college, we wish to acknowledge our debt to the students we have been associated with, and to the faculty for their patience and perseverance. Some day we shall be able to tell you in words and deeds how much we really have appreciated your assistance, your patience, your sym- pathy, and your love. Parron Gallop, Historian Twenty-five

Senior History At last, after years of genuine labor on the part of each individual composing the class of 1925, the time has come when such labor must be rewarded. Gone are the days when any member can recover one lost moment in which something great or good could have been accomplished. During the past four years we have been in train- ing for a worthy purpose, which is either to teach, to preach, or to be in other ways servants to our God in the upbuilding of humanity. During that time we have been guided by the principles and direction of this college, whose influence shall abide with us through- out the coming years. We have been benefited not only mentally, but also spiritually, morally, and socially. It is my purpose to unveil for you a few outstanding characteristics of the ten whose every ambition is to become some day leaders for good. Our class President, Mae Stancill, of Washington, possesses many charms. Our Vice President, Dolly Lewis, is Wilson’s queen, a loan to us for these four years. Vivian Holden, our prophet, is the beauty

Senior Class Prophecy And it came to pass in the second month, on the seventh day of the month, in the fifth year of the reign of Howard of the house of Hilley, as I, Vivian, of the tribe of Seniors, was wandering in the wilderness of ologies and isms with other sojourners in the land of A. C. C., that the spirit of prophecy fell upon me, and I heard a voice saying, “Prophesy,” and I lifted up my voice and prophesied con- cerning the fate of my fellow tribesmen. And lo, I behold before mine eyes a great multitude gathered before the door of a fair palace, and I saw a great sign, and on it in letters of fire the inscription: “Spice of 1934” Featuring Charlie Gray Raulen with J. Park Nunn and other stars And in that day there arose among the people in that same country a certain wise man, Parron, son of Gallop, who, having in his heart the desire to become spokesman of his people, practiced diligently, even as did the great Demosthenes in his day. And lo, the people all harkened to the eloquence of his tongue and they elected him President of the United States. And among those who praised his name was one Everett of the renowned house of Harris, going about throughout all the land telling of his powers—and he spake unto the people, saying: “Hark ye unto the voice of this man, for he cometh to deliver you from the bondage of illiteracy, for in his administration shall be created a National Department of Education, and your public schools shall wax mightily in all the land.” And the words of the campaign speaker pleased the great Parron, and calling all the wise men about him, he questioned them, saying, “How shall I reward one who hath served me long and faithfully?” And they consulted among themselves and made answer, saying, “Give unto him the honor of being first National Secretary of Public Education, for he is a man of great wisdom.” And he said, “It shall be so.” And a voice from among them spake aloud, though with fear and trembling, for they stood in awe of the great Parron, saying unto him, “Master, she whom they call Ruth, of the city of Farm ville, sends greetings. She desires me to say that though ye were once obnoxious to her, being her political rival and not of the party of Democrats, still, doth she will ye no evil, but willeth to be like unto a sister to you, counseling you with words of wisdom concerning the ruling of this great nation.” And having given utterance to these words, he was silent, and the great Parron was pleased and answered, saying, “Verily she is fair of face. I will make her First Lady of the Land. ” And the word went out among the people, and they were glad. And Lill, fair daughter of the house of Winstead, communed with herself, saying, “Behold, what profiteth it me that I should teach all the days of my life Twenty-six
