JESSIE ARNOLD. Eulogy. She is a rose among thorns, A dear without horns, A wonderful girl I'll say, A sunbeam on the earth, ’Tis been so from birth, And ’twill last for many a day. The above gives Jessie full credit and probably more than the ordinary one. She was born at Pumpkin Center, X. J., sometime during the severe summer of 1812, during the memorial war with England of that date. She came to Cary in 11)10 and might graduate this year. At least she has though so to the extent of four and one-half semolians. That is all Jessie strives for is to get through this year and be a Freshman in St. Augustine next year. XENNIE BRADY. The Hip IV Winkle of the Twentieth Century, From Sleepy Hollow. When the Senior class begins to meet, We realize that Xcnnie is already asleep, The class to us is a calm repose, But the class to Xennie is a little dose, We hear a sound like a cannon’s roar, But, alas, ’tis only Xennie’s snore, Then he awakes, With a couple of shakes, But the bell has rung, and the class is done, To Xennie its serious, but to us ’tis fun. And here is a question serious and deep, What on earth makes Xennie sleep? And I shall answer according to law, Rij) Van Winkle was his great grand paw. Xennie was born in Drowsy Bottom during tin Famine and since then has always lived in Sleepy Hollow. We can not calculate his age but we think he was a stowaway on the ark. He will graduate when he wakes up, probably never. B E RNARI) PL E A S A N TS. Eulogy. Oh, you sweet chubby faced kid, You have such a wonderful lid, Your cheeks are so sweet, just like dog meat, 'Flic rest of your features are hid. Born September the 16, 1836.

Respectively dedicated to Miss Flossie Siler and the Loyal Five (Provided they make up by April the fifth, nineteen twenty-one A. 1).) PREFACE. This bugography is written entirely on supposition and interrogation. We do not wish to hurt anyone’s feelings we cannot handle; so before you read it we apologize for any discrimination on your character. Also we are incorporated and cannot be sued for libel or slander. As I say it was written on supposition I will illustrate: If it had not been for the machine gun, Caesar would not have conquered Gaul. If it had not been for the airplane Balboa would never have discovered the Pacific. If it had not been for death, Methusala would be grandpa today. If it had not been for the submarine, Columbus would never have seen America. If it had not been for foolishness this would never have been written. Necessity is the mother of invention. Miss Siler wanted it, therefore we made it. Now it should be preserved in the Halls of Anarchy and the Annals of Crime. “God Save the King.” J. B. W. R. W. B. “To all things there must be a beginning and to all things an ending.” The above applies to literary things, not, geometrically speaking, a circle. The above conclusion was arrived at by the marvelous power of J. B. Walters’ brain to ascertain such. So to begin we will start on Jessie. Page Twenty-three

HILL SWA IX. lie’s a boy of boys, 11 is face wears always a frown, To see him today, with his innocent way, You’d think lie was Barnum’s clown. If Oris is the Goat, Surely Bill is the Crane, For his neck is so long, They call his Bill Swain. Born on Pine Knot Limb of Buckle Berry Hollow. A possible descendant of 11 uck Finn or Tom Sawyer. That is t he reason he favors Aunt Polly so. Came to Cary as a representative of Ireland, will leave when his country becomes free. We prophesy that. Bill will rival Charlie Chaplin on the stage. URSULA ATKINS. Although Ursula is of tin very best, And known by all for that, She always hates to confess, That she is from Rhamkatte. Born? Came to Cary? Will leave? Other Personalities? LUCILLE JOHNSON. Lucille is a poetess true, For she writes of her love to Marvin Poole, And when her heart begins to pine, She lets him know it with a line, For a little poem to him she’ll write, In order to tell him of her plight. Born at Marvin Hill, Va. Came to Cary when a mere girl, will probably leave an old maid. Wanted to know why Marvin Poole likes to help the girls make chocolate fudge so well? VANN HOLLOWAY. The son of the Senior class is lie, The best one in tin land, But if you want to hear him hollow, •Just slip a (V) penny in his hand. Born at sea. St ill on a voyage. Will probably learn Ins A B (”s by the time he reaches land. VIVIAN PENNY. Surely Vivian is honest, slim and true, And if faces will take one, she’ll go l ight through, But when Vann comes along and smiles, You can’t see her face for her mouth a whiles. Born at Regendrofanchamox, Sweden, Monday, January 10th., 1862. Came to Cary last spring and has been with Vann ever since. Page Twenty-fire
