Tlton i ' li smaller tlian some i)revions senior classes, the graduating’ body of this year Avhile numbering only tAvelve, leaves a record of achievements, loyalty, and sociability Avhich Avill he remembered as a standard for future classes to attain. The nucleus of the class, four years ago, consisted only of two: AVorrall and Lattimoi ' e. One addition to the class Avas made in ’24.

Literary achievements are of major importance in listing the contribu¬ tions of the class. Eden, a tAvo year man, desei’Ams fnll credit for liaAung suc- eessfidly held the office of Editor-in-Chief on both the paper and annual staffs. The senior class exclusively comprised the remainder of the annual staff. The Blue Ridge Literary Society, founded in 1!)25, has passed through a year of excellent grf)Avth and doAudojAment, its members having Auade real contribu¬ tions in tlnui- Avork. A successful social asjAcct has been oiie of the most important features in making the life of the class enjoyable. The usual dances haAm been occasions of memoi-able enjoyment to all the students, and on several occasions the students liaA ' e been guests of the Fassifern school. By the oi-ganization of a social club aiul similar organizations, much has been accom])lished. Let ns not, hoAvever, give the impression that all attempted Avas successful.

Consistent in study; one of the outstanding ath¬ letes, having been a three letter man for two years and one of the social lions of the School; he has made a name and record in well rounded achievements that prospective Blue Ridge students would do well to emu¬ late.

Friendly to all, and ever with a cheery word of greeting—that des¬ cribes the sunny disposition of “Brownie”. For two years he has fought for Blue Ridge on the gridiron and dia¬ mond, and has brought credit to him¬ self and the School. He intends to follow in his father’s footsteps, and become a member of the medical profession. We have con¬ fidence in “Brownie” and if our health ever requires attention, we will select him as our “sawbone”. Eighteen HENRY BUCK BURROUGHS “Hank” Conway, S. C. Pahiiotto Club ’2(), ’27.

One of the most influential among us, we believe he will be equally great in whatever field he may choose. Gen¬ erous, honest, and loyal, the best wish we can make for him is that he may equal in life what he has accomplished at Blue Ridge. HERBERT OTIS DRENNON “Hub” Maxton, N. C. Football S(iuad ’2(1.

In his one- year stay at Blue Ridge he has won the respect of every Blue Ridgian by his earnest application to whatever task assigned him. From every standpoint “Hub” is a mighty fine fellow, and we know that his college career will be one of great success. Nineteen 86-10 1132 HENRY HARMAN EDEN ' ‘Hap” Clio, S. C.

Although graduating with honor in last year’s Senior class, “Hap” re¬ turned to Blue Ridge for another year’s preparation before entering college. “Hap’s” loyalty, versatility, and “force” have made for him a record that will not soon be forgotten at Blue Ridge. During his two short years he has taken prominent part in athletic, literary scholastic, and social activities. As reward for his work as editor-in-chief of the school paper, he was given the greater honor of editing this book. Whether it be work or play, “Hap” is there whole-heartedly. Needless to say we expect to hear great things of him in later life. ROBERT GRIFFITH HAYES “Big Boh” Charlotte, N. C. ' arsity Football ' 25. Capt. Football ' 2(). Varsit.v Basketball ’27.

He is possessed with an enviable dis¬ position and will always be remem¬ bered by his genial smile and cheer¬ ful greeting. As a reco.gnition of “Bob’s” true worth and character he was made the leadei- of many campus activities, ranging from the football field to the more sedate office of Senior Pre¬ fect. If “Bob’ shows the same ability in after life that he has shown on the football field, we will never worry about his success. We can truly say that he is a Blue Ridge man.

Here we have one whose greatest asset is the ability to chase the blues. It is a pleasure to have one in the midst of any group who literally rad¬ iates a care-free spirit. Beneath h’s ‘‘eat, drink, and be merry” surface, however, lies a serious determination to succeed, evinced in scholarship and campus activities. We look for excel¬ lent reports concerning “Tubby” not only at U. N. C., but thereafter. CARL HERMAN PFUNTNER “Gripe” Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Football Squad ' 25.

His par¬ ticipation in numerous activities has made him a leader, and he is symbolic of the best products of Blue Ridge. The duties entrusted to him have been faithfully and well performed. He has displayed decided talent in liter¬ ary lines. His poise and dignity, to¬ gether with his rare ability, will make his role in later life an important one.

Though Jack entered after the Christmas holidays, he has made an excellent record in scholastic and lit¬ erary circles, and his wit and cheer¬ fulness have made him one of the most popular. Cornelius is a small town, but if “Jack” is a specimen of its products, it can well pride itself on “not quantity but quality”. In every way his life here has been fruitful, and we can but wish him continuance on the road he now travels. WALTER PERCY SMITH “Red” Cheraw, S. C. Varsity Football ' 26.

To leave his crimson hair and rose¬ bud complexion unmentioned would be a crime. While his stay at Blue Ridge has extended through only a year, we have found him to be a conscientious and perservering stu¬ dent, always ready and glad to shoulder his portion of the burdens or to share in fun and mirth. His consistency, and good fellow¬ ship, we feel sure, will place him high on the ladder of success. Twenty-Two WILLIAM BOYLAN SNOW “Buck” Hendersonville, N.

When will we forg ' et the fine work of “Buck” on the basketball court? His attainments in athletics and scholarship and his all-round likable disposition have endeared him to all Blue Ridgians. We feel sure that “Buck” will not betray our faith in him, but will come up to our expectations and make good in the field which he chooses. FRANK WORRALL “Frankie” Miami, Fla.

He has a delicate sense of the thing ' s of real value in life. His own life shows the result of his thinking which has evidently been of that type which builds high standards and the will to observe them at all times. It will not surprise us when we hear of Frank as one of the lead¬ ing citizens of Miami. Twenty-Three The Blue Ridgian Twenty-Four If e stood with hearts yearning As we gazed on the ladder of life. For we were only Freshmen And the top was out of sight; hacli year brought us one step higher, L ntil the goal came into view, Sopohonwres, Juniors, then Seniors, Years of happiness and sorrows too. Ever upward we have struggled, Step by step and rung by rung, Till at last through joys and sorrows The heights of the ladder we ' ve won; Now with hearts that are yearning Back down the years of time U e look, always thinking of dear friends We soon must leave behind. Looking from the goal we have reached Which leads to duties untold, We realize dis just a beginning Of paths that will soon unfold; As we tread these paths of duty. Truths learned here will stay, And to us be real champions When we are far, far away. In leaving the ladder of learning W e thank those who helped us ascend, We’ll ever remember the kind words Of our patrons, teachers, and friends; But we can not linger here longer, W e must go to the journey’s end Profit by our mistakes and errors; A kind farewell to you, our friends.

Too much credit cannot be given Coach Lawrence who made a championship team with only five letter men around which to huihl. The Hilltopj ers ascended hitherto unreached heights in the final game of the season by winning a brilliant victory over Oak Ridge, thereby annexing the championship. In the opening game of the season the Hilltoppers had no difficulty in defeating Boiling Springs 33-0. “Coach” used two complete sets of backs and both combina¬ tions proved their worth by constantly keeping the opponents on the run. Captain Hayes’ work in the line gave the Blue Ridge followers some idea of what could he expected of him in the future. Weaver College, on the latter’s field, held a very determined and disgruntled llilltopper team to a scoreless tie. Time after time Eden, Cathey, and Blankenship would crash through the opponents’ line, only to slip and fall in the soft, sandy field. Practically the entire game was played within the opponents 30-yard line, but rushes and attempted goals all fell a vard or two short. Forty-Six The Blue Ridgian Blue Ridge Punting From 25 Yard Line Just Before Whistle Ended Game In the next game Blue Ridge found the going more to their liking, and pro¬ ceeded to smother Christ School by the one-sided score of 58-0. ' fhe feature of the game was Kirby’s 65-yard return of the kick-off for a touchdown. The Hilhoppers, (rained to a fine edge by Coaches “Red” Johnson and “Shorty” Lawrence next proceeded to completely subdue the fighting Davidson Fresh, 20-8. Brown, playing the greatest game of his career scored two touchdowns on long runs. Eden s defensive ami offensive work was outstanding. Blue Ridge won a costly vic- toiy, howevei, for Cathey, star back for the past three years, sustained a liroken ankle. The work of Brown, Blankenship, and Lilen was outstanding in the backfield. while Badger, Kirby, and Hayes played great games in the line. Crippled after the Freshmen game the Hillto])pers receivd the worst defeat in two years at the hands of the mighty Carlisle, S. C., team at the Orangeburg Fair. The liewildered Blue Ridgians seemed unable to get started and when the game was over, Blue Ridge was the loser by a 26 to 6 score. Swink and Hayes did the liest work in the line, while Eden was the main threat in the backfield. Blue Ridge suffered her second and last defeat at (he hands of the Erskine Fresh, champions of South Carolina. Though defeated, the Hilltoppers outfought and gained more gvound than their opponents, but the breaks of the game were against them. Erskine scored a touchdown in the last minute of jilay that gave (hem a 14-7 victory. Forty-Seven The Blue Ridgian Scene From Blue Ridge—Oak Ridge Game, Greensboro Memorial Stadiimi Coach Lawrence saving his first string backs for the Oak Ridge game started the second string backfield against Farm School who showed unexpected strength and lield Blue Ridge scoreless for the first half. Blankenship and Eden went in after the half and the Hilltoppers seemed to hit their stride. Touchdowns were scored by Brawley, Hayes, and Blankenship, Eden kicking all three goals. And then the “Battle of the Ridges.” The Hilltoppers of Blue Ridge triumphed over the highly touted Oak Ridge team, 13-6, thereby winning the State Champion¬ ship. From the first whistle Blue Ridge took the initiative and did not let up until the gun ended one of the hardest fought prep school battles ever seen in the Carolinas. Time after time Badger and Swink would l. reak through the line and throw the heavy Oak Ridge backs for losses. In the backfield Blankensbip and Eden alternated in carrying tbe ball and carry it they did as Oak Ridge can well testify. When the curtain was rung down on the 1926 football season three Hilltoppers were placed on the mythical all-State Prep team, while three others were named on the second selection. “Bob” Hayes, Blue Ridge’s captain won the signal honor of captaining the first team. Badger, Blue Ridge’s husky tackle, and Eden, triple threat man, won places on the first team, while Blankenship, Brawley, and Rotha were placed on the second team. It was said of the Hilltoppers: “Blue Ridge was not lucky to win the 1926 Prep School Championship. It belongs to them on sheer merit alone.” Forty-Eight The Blue Ridgian Forty-Nine Fifty Basket Ball Resume At the be ginning of the season everyone was rather pessimistic over the pros¬ pects of a winning basketball team. No one dreamed of the brilliant record it was to make. With only two letter men, Brawley and Eden, from last year’s team, and the latter compelled to withdraw because of injuries sustained in football, Coach Law¬ rence faced the problem of building a new machine. With Captain Brawley as a nucleus, “Coach” set to work. Snow and Kirby turned out to be two cracking good forwards, both being adept in shooting goals and in general floor work. “Big Bob” Hayes and Charnley alternated at center, and with Drennon at the other guard. “Coach” suddenly realized that he had one of the best teams in Blue Ridge’s history. Einfortunately the schedule was very incomplete, only eight games appearing on the list. A series of games with Brevard High and the Brevard “All Stars” opened the season. Blue Ridge won her first game from the Highs by the one-sided score of 48-24. Kirby was high scorer with 20 points and Snow came next with 12. Braw- ley’s close guarding was outstanding. Smith, Valdez, and Wingate were used in this game, and demonstrated that they could be depended on in the games to follow. The “All Stars” were the next victims of the Hi I hopper machine. Charnley led in the scoring with 14 points of Blue Ridge’s 36 to 12 victory. Brevard High was again overwhelmingly defeated in the next encounter 54 to 12. Kirby and Snow collected 38 points between them. And then came the Hilltoppers first and only defeat. The Farm School Aggies on their home court completely subdued the bewildered ’Toppers. Shots from all Fifty-One over the court bounced into the basket. When the massacre ended the Aggies held the big end of a 40 to 20 score. Blue Ridge came hack strong in the next game to defeat the highly touted Fruit- land quintet 19 to 17. So evenly matched were the two teams that an extra period was necessary to break the deadlock that existed at the end of the fourth period. Snow and Brawley played great games for Blue Ridge. Hayes’ injection into the line-up soon after the half probably saved the day for Blue Ridge. He was in every play, and invariably got the tip-off. Fruitland, in their next encounter, did not offer such stiff opposition, the Hill- toppers easily defeating them 26 to 17. Sweet revenge—for the first time in three years Blue Ridge emerged the victor over Farm School; and then by tlie narrow margin of 23 to 22. It was one of the most thrilling games ever seen on the local court. Seldom were the two teams more than two points apart. Kirby with 12 jjoints, and Brawley with 7 were the stars. In the last game, Hendersonville High was defeated 17 to 13. Thus under the wise tutelage of Coach Lawrence and the capable leadership of Captain Brawley, ended one of the most successful seasons a Blue Ridge basketball team has ever enjoyed.

Only three letter men, Captain Eden, Brawley, aiid Brown, are back in uniform from last year’s Con¬ ference Champions. However, Coach Lawrence can be depended upon to produce a team that will scrap every minute, dangerous until the last man is out. In the early season practices, “Coach” has been dividing the squad into two tearns, and playing a five-inning game every afternoon. Brown, from last year’s pitching staff, and White, the tall, lanky boy from Charlotte, have been showing the best form in the box, with Lattimore and Drennon on the receiving line. Brawley at first has been showing old time form, and we feel that that position will be well taken care of. At second Sherrill has been showing up best. Eden has been shifted to his old position at short. “Hap” looks good as ever, both at the bat and in the field Smith, the red-headed boy from Cheraw, is the leading contender for third base. In the outfield, R. Hayes, Kirby, Thorne, Snow, Charnley, and R. Rodriguez seem to be the ones most likely to land a varsity berth. With this material on hand we feel confident the season will be highly successful. Fifty-Six b ' H ly-Seven The Blue Ridgian The Blue Ridge Literary Society OFFICERS CARL PFUNTNER.
