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

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

Born in 1492, at Hermit Heights, Nova Scotia. Came over with Columbus on t lie Mayflower. BAXTER TIMBERLAKE. Dear old Baxter now conies next, As usual every one knows, A studious boy you’ll always find, Wherever Baxter goes. Born June 30th, 1842, in the State of Ignorance, and has never progressed far from home. Came to Cary walking, will probably leave in a storm, He is now serving his sixteenth term as class president. OF NOTE. We, the authors of this Bugology, do wish to duly apologize and sympathize with those whose names do not appear in it, and who did not come under our per- sonal observation. The reason for this is that our records were destroyed in the late Hundred Years War. It is now with us as it lias been with the pioneers of literature; for example: Shakespeare’s works were never completed. Burns died before his really literary character ever existed. Furthermore, the human brain cannot be overtaxed with such enormous responsibilities as these, and as we have so little, and as life is so short, uncertain, and death so sure, we feel that we have spent ample time on the preparation of such an important document. In Memory of the Class of ’21. Thou leavest an honored name; thy part thou hast well performed; thou goest to thy grave in Peace; and thy memory shall endure when more ambitious names are dead. Farewell my class to you. Pago Two nig- n i no
