)enior Cla si ?|istorp AT last we are Seniiirs; we are nearing our sraduatioii day with joyful antic- ipations. The time when we will receive our reward for weary days and ■ sleei)les.s nights is near at hand. The thdUght is a constant satisfaction to us just as it is to a, worthy soldier after a well fought battle. Though the preparation for linisiiing our work and departure has us well occupied, yet some- times even in the nndst of it, a pang of regret stirs in (lur bosoms; regret at leav- ing the dear old noiiks and corners of the Academy, the old familiar desks at which we have sat and d ig our way into learning ' s .store. iM-en the walls hold sacred memories of days gone l y, and our attachment for all these will never be erased. But the strongest regret arises with the thought of leaving the teachers who have done so nuich for us; surely no student has had better. They have labored faith- fully to give us the best that they had, and our increased efficiency is due to the things they have seen fit to teach us, and tlie example they have set before us in daily life. Our Seniority dates back to the 2()th day of August, when we gathered to- gether for the last time at H. ( ' . A. to take our final step farther up learning ' s ladder before going to college. At that time some of us had no distinct ideal in hfe, (we will admit) but each of us had a miml towards accompHshing something worth while. From that blurri ' d |)un)ose and hazy view of things has arisen before our separate minds an ideal ]iure and strong towanls wliieli we shall strive with e -er increasing determination. Through the struggles in days past we have won triumph after trium|)h. though attenilcd with great difficulties; but our record is one any class might be ])roud to possess. We have not been satisfieil with just simply passing off our work, but we have succeeded in furnishing a grade of work fai ' above the ordinary. Oin- aveiage on class work has exceeded that of any ot liei- graduating class by a large percentage. The record is the more gratifying if we take into consideration the nimibcr of subjects we have been loaded wiUi. Sevei ' al of oui ' members have carried as many as eight or nine stuilies during the gi ' ealer pait of their Senior year, and onl - one or two in the whole class have had less than live. We are sure our record this spring will be e -en better tlian that of l;ist fall. The class of ' b) and ' 14 has more medals than any class before us has ever had.

Miss Roberta Tyson — (Ath.) Fayettevillr, N. C. Motto: Aim at the moon, if yon hit a tciUr hill. Keep your face always toward the sun and tlio shadows will fall behind you. A short stay and many friends express Babbie ' s i areer in Buie ' s Creek. An optimistic mood and an ami- able disposition are her cardinal traits. When revers es come not single handed Babbie may be heard to say, cheer up, the worst is yet to come. Her devotion to the ledger and budget assures us that she has made no mistake in choosing her vocation, and will jn ' ove a bless- iiii; ill the commercial world, for .she possesses the quali- ties which the world is calling for today. Heniiy Brian White— (En.) Aulander, N. C. Motto: YieU thou not to adrcrsitij, hut press on more bravely. Formulate in your mind what you desire to bo, then do it, be it ever so difficult.

continually been growing stronger. We have kept the work on the new church going on by the co-operation of the school and the community. A new pipe organ has been purchased to be installed as quickly as possible. In the past year the moral life of the town and school has taken a step up- wards. At the first of the year a number of restless Sophomores and Freshmen committed a few small depredations on some of the town and school property, but it needed only a Senior ' s gentle hand laid on their shoulders, a Senior ' s mel- odious voice spoken in their ears, and they would see and turn from the error of their ways. Card playing, cigarette smoking and the more minor evils generally found wlicrc there are numbers of boys have been al)olish( d. In athletics we have accomplished much. By combined effort we have cleaned away a track, and have organized an enthusiastic track team. We have also organized a tennis club, a basketball team; and last of all a sturdy baseball nine. Each of these teams would do credit to any college. One of our class holds the honor of being the best all-round athlete in school; an honor not to be despised, considering the large body of students we have. He has been the win- ner in many contests held in different parts of the State. We must not forget to mention the prominent part we have taken in the music department of the school. We have gotten up plays, musicals and oper- ettas for the entertainment and edification of the public. In none of them have we failed to please. Indeed it has been said by persons who are capable of understanding music and its intricacies, that we have talent destined to be famous. We could mention numerous other accomplishments in which we have be- come proficient, but we have not the space. These attainments we are proud of, and the height of learning we have reached is a constant satisfaction to us. Though we have reached the place towards which we have striven so long, by no means are we satisfied. To-day we stand upon a higher plane than yesterday. We have begun to breathe the invigorating ozone of knowledge, but we would fain drink more. We have caught the smell of battle and nothing can stop us until, with a strong will, courageous heart, and the great weapon of perseverance, we have jiut to flight the opposing ho.sts that surround the opportunities which dot the lantlscape of life here and there, and taking possession of them we shall press on triumphantly to heights of learning attained by few; and there we shall receive the reward of our labors.
