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

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.

WILLIE LEE EDWARDS. Willie Lee sure can eat, When Thelma is not around, But when she is standing near, 11 is appetite cannot be found. He puts his coffee in the zip, 31 is butter on the floor, And when he gets his pockets full, lie rushes for the door. Born on the plains of Nowhere. Upon having his brains electrolized, it was found to consist of one bushel of sawdust, a peck of sand, and one ounce of bones. Came to Cary on his reputation—will leave on mine. WILLIAM (BILL) TIMBERLAKE. lie’s some old sport, I'll confess, But a wonderful guy, nevertheless, And there’s not a day, he isn’t gay, lie has such a wonderful way. Born on the Principles of Evolutionary cxizitivsinxd and is still an eplidi- aziticobbetf like a microbe. A member of the Soda Jerkers Union. JUDSON MANGUM. Judson is the sport of the age, And surely has those Wake Forest ways, But when lie hears the call, Of the Raleigh guys, Old Judson to his Paige doth fly. Born in the year of 1865 on a rainy day, during Pickett’s charge at Gettys- burg. Came to Cary walking, will leave running if the R. II. S. is not annihilated. CLIFTON POOLE. Clifton is a Poole as the name implies If fairly his face you see, For his eyes look like two billiard balls, And his nose looks like a cue. Born A. I). 1565, in Angleland. He is tin great grandfather of the English language. GENEVIEVE WOODSON. Surely we cannot pass, So studious a one by. For she is the quietest of the class, And Beauty she can surely see, Where Ugly ought to be, Why she has even been making eyes, At Sccchhellisinger Foousscheee. Pete was born in Rhainkattc near the border line. Came to Cary on a flivver, will leave on a Willys-Knight. BLANCHE MARTIN. Of every enduring charm, Of course they mean no harm, But when Xennie is around, I’ll be bound, If Baxter isn’t alarmed. Page Tivcnty-eigh I
