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.

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

LEAKY UPCIIURCII. Give me liberty are Leary’s words, But he borrowed them from Clay, He begs for liberty all the while, To carry Valley (S) away; He dreams of the day, the end will come, And Valley’s face he sees, We do hope and pray that he will get his wish, If it is ever to be. Born an Mars. Came to Civilization via the rocket route. Migrated to Jupiter in 2000 and went via Mercury. Got to the planet of Cary 1000 years later and wound up in Morrisville. MELZA JONES. Melza is the guy of the hour, He always brings his girl a flower; Be it in winter or be it in spring, They’ll soon be married for she’s wearing his ring. Born in a monastery in Ireland, a late descendant of Julius Caesar. Came to Cary by Ankle Express. Will leave by Parcel Post on the 30th day of February. ROBERT PARKER. {Little Bobby.) Robert Parker is a guy so hard, Raised on pepper, salt and lard, 11 is eyes are of a golden blue, They always glow with a brownish hue. Born in the Forest near Macclesfield and came to Cary for a change and was fooled. We, personally speaking, find no criticisms with Robert, but Misses Siler and Cranford have their doubts as to his learning facilities. FRANCES SMITH. Frances est tres bonne maid, And of Miss Cranford she is not afraid, She talks to Robert when she gets a chance, No matter what be the consequence. Born at Jamaica Ginger Junction. Came to Cary with a sweet smile. Will leave with an awful frown. “God save the King.” CLABRON BARBEE. (Inventor of Fiddle Sticks.) Clabron is the star of the Agricultural class. And he learns his lessons well, But the difference between a pig and a microbe, He surely cannot tell; When we have a field trip, the guy’s always around, But when Professor says, “Boys get your shears,” Clabron can’t be found. Born on top of ’Simmon Ridge in Peru. Was rescued by Captain Peary on his way to the North Pole, and brought to Cary as a freak of nature. Page Twenty-seven
