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

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. At Hickory Nut Creek In the vicinity of Molasses Creek Swamp. Came to Cary on 141. Will leave on 22. Criticisms et al.—None. Peculiar Personalities He takes a bath on the installment plan. Part one week and part next. Wanted to Know—Where does In buy his socks? )age Twenty-four.

IIKTTIE PITT ARI). Miss Hettie is a student, true In English, Physics, and Geometry, too, But when Baby Pleasants comes along, Her lessons are not worth a song. And when he bends his little head, In silence mute, ’tis true, She gently whispers in Baby’s ear, The wedding date? Why, sure. Born on the mountains of Alaska in 1840. Came to Cary in 1900. Will graduate this year, maybe. Some studious girl, believe me. CARLYLE WHEELER. A debater true, we are going to find Old Wheeler sure to be, For when there is any arguing around, II is face we always see. Born December the thirtieth, nineteen and twenty-two. Came to Cary in infancy. Will leave an old man. He has great prospects of becoming a lawyer at his birth place in Mosquito Swamp. DAWSON STROTHER. Oh, thou dear Dawson, thy beauty appeals to me, The lily and the violet, they do not rival thee; Thy face is as red as a rose, and thy lips as sweet as zip, Thy brains are surely made of corn bread and buttermilk. Born in the sticks of Asbury. A graduate of Sing Sing. I had the pleasure of being a classmate with him there, hence my intimate knowledge of him. Com- missioned to come to Cary to study the rules and regulations of the Senior Class by President Washington. MARTHA BAILEY. Born in the Klondike. Came to Cary with a mule. We calculate she will leave with a Goat. HELEN STROTHER. Miss Helen some times writes a verse, to Kenneth this you know, But how the verses run would tickle you just so; Well, here is one I chanced to find, while walking down the street. And I am sure you will really want to see it: “The violet loves the sunny bank, “The cowslip loves the lea, “The scarlet creeper loves the elm, “But Kenneth I love Thee.” Born on Turnip Branch (a fork of Cabbage Creek.) Came to Cary in 1907. Will graduate this year, and it is supposed that she will secure a job as Lady Prin- cipal of Asbury High School next year. SCHLESINGER FOUSHEE. Schlesinger is a nut, For his mouth is never shut, lie never does just what he should, For passions deep, won’t make him weep, For his head is solid wood. Born in a Chink Laundry on wash day.
