Vol. 4 CARY HIGH SCHOOL Page 5 Professor John Stewart Howard Just before closing our pages we take this chance as the most proper and opportune time of expressing our most sincere and affectionate appreciations lo J. Stewart Howard, Professor of Agriculture. It was by and through his never failing assistance this hook was made possible and attempted. Professor Howard was horn in Salcmburg in Sampson County, North Carolina, November 24, 1893. He graduated from Salcmburg High School at the age of seventeen and entered North Carolina State College of Agri- culture and Engineering the following fall of 1910. After spending four years of studious work he graduated with honors unsurpassed by any of his classmates. In the fall of 1916 Professor Howard came to ('ary High School as Pro- fessor of Agriculture, succeeding Professor H. E. Stone. During these three years “Prof.” Howard, as he is better known by the students, has an admiration that will forever remain great and audible hv those who know him. This, the Class of ’18, wish to express to him our gratefulness for his efforts, pledging our most loyal obligations in all things whatsoever he may deem wise and prudent. To he specific and to express the sentiment of the class briefly, permit me to give one instance where the instrumentality of Professor Howard was used beneficially, when patriotism was at its zenith in the Ladies’ Dormitory. The idea occurred to some patriot that it would not he patriotic in the publication of the Chsite. M iss Lillian Killingsworth, former Faculty Editor, striving to do her hit for the patriotic cause, declined as Faculty Editor of the Chsite, to strengthen the line of its offenders. Naturally this eruption was enough to spell doom to the Chsite, and would have hut here’s to Professor Howard the largest thanks yet. For when he consentingly stretched forth his strong hand and made possible the defeat of this last trench, clearing the way for the presenta- tion of this the fourth volume of the Chsite. J. Tillman Pennington, Pres. Class of '18.
