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

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.

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.

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

Last 'Will and Testament Class of 1921 Office of Neediiam Barnes ) State of N. C. Exactly Before Oran's Social Hour County of Wake, But Not Wakelon ) To whom it will run crazy or otherwise: Sad reflections. We, the class of 1921, having undecisive minds and irregular bodies, realizing what will happen so long as Uncle John continues to ring the bell before we get our clothes on, and further realizing what will happen to each of us who linger too long after the bell stops ringing, do here shcfiit to all of you: ‘‘We want some breakfast ’ to-wit: Section One. Article 1. To our mothers and fathers we will our fondest love and deepest appreciation for the privilege of attending school here during the past year’s slump in prices and for the great sacrifices they have made in making it possible for us to come. Art. 2. To Professor Dry we will our vote of thanks for his untiring efforts to teach us the straight and narrow way that leads to prosperity, and also a geometry class that will study their lessons and come to class on time. Art. 3. Let it be known to all that whereas, we, the class of 1921, are to be excluded from this accidentally selected spot known as Cary High School Campus, and during the sleet as the “general bumpus,” do without limitation leave to the Juniors three times as many privileges on this aforesaid spot as we have claimed for ourselves. Art. 4. To the town of Cary we leave our fondest memories for the good times she has given us. We also leave them three thousand two hundred and seventy-eight nights of rest as a low rate of interest on the many nights lost since Cary High School has been founded. (Oh, you nightraiders.) Section Two. Article 1. To Miss Cranford we will a night long dream of a wonderful school with an abundance of everything but social hours. Art. 2. But let’s don’t forget Cicero, Junior, who will really appreciate an automatic machine that will check up study hall while he gallantly peals forth wonderful stories of bungalow happiness to Miss Harmony in the parlor. (This machine is also supposed to cut off the lights at 11 p. in., to save the said Cicero twice the distance between Mr. Dry’s residence and the dormitory.) Art. 3. To Miss Harmony we leave three extra pairs of ears that will rapidly absorb the said speeches of Cicero, Jr. Art. 4. Messrs. Coggin and Meekins will receive an agricultural class who will decline to plant peaches and soy beans in the same bill and who will report to class as often as three times a week, not more than forty minutes late. Art. 5. To Mr. Blount we earnestly bequeath a perfect control over mental telepathy that he will not be required to raise his voice and thereby abuse the same while there is an unusual noise in the class room. We also leave to the men- tioned Blount twenty-eight weeks of continuous dish washing during the coming year while the musical assistant smiles on with uninterrupted appreciation. Art. fl. To Miss Siler we will an extended bank account that will cover the cost of the required number of books in the course and three locks of Clare Bailey’s red hair. Art. 7. Now don’t let us forget the teacherage. To this well-known house of seven gables we leave two extra parlors, and by doing so we hope to avoid conflicts. Page Thirty
