Ufhence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O'er' books eovzszlrned the midnight oil? I was reading the other day that, whenever you find a pupil in school who is always ready and anxious to answer a stiff question, that girl or boy will be great some day. Here is one. When- ever a difficult question is asked, or a knotty problem is to be solved, WILLIAM- SON jumps all over to do it. He hangs out of his seat, and covers half the aisle. His' eyes snap, his mouth snaps, his fingers snap, in fact, his whole body snaps. Sometimes his eyes in their antics form a-a-winkg WIGGS is invariably called on. GRACIE BRUWN Age, 163 Height, 4 ft., 11 ins.g Weight 88. 1916-'17 C8AJ 1917-'18 IEJAJ 1918-'19 C10AJ-Girls' High School Club. 1919-'20 f11BJ-Girls' High School Clubg Alexander Graham Literary So- ciety. an O Scotia! My dear, my native soil! For 'whom my warmest Il iSll to lzcfrzrvn is sent! Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil H0 blest with health, and rest, and sweet content. One beautiful spring morning, seven years ago, a breezy wind wafted to our shores a bright little brown-eyed, curly- headed maid, a bonnie lassie --of Aber- deen, Scotland-GRACIE BROWN. Do you not feel a thrill in her conversation? Raising herself up on her tiptoes, clasp- ing her hands together, she holds us spellbound with her dancing brown eyes and mischievous smile. r

ig air 'VW' NAOMI ALEXANDER Age, 165 Height, 5 ft., 5 ins., Weight, 125. 1916-'17 f8Al 1917-'18 f9AJ 1918-'19 fl0AJ-Alexander Graham Literary Society. 1919-'20 f11BJ--Alexander Graham Literary Societyg Editor-in-Chief of SNIPS AND Cursg Supervisor Alexander Graham Literary Society, 1920, Man- ager of Class Basket-Ball, Athletic As- sociation. Undismayed by the conflict around her, Uizdistracied by the sights she may see, She demands not that the things with- out her Yield love, amzlscmenf, and sympathy. There is no silliness or sentimentality about NAOMI. Classmates and teachers exult in her intellectual strength and dexterity. Her mind is so full of imagery that she might have been perpetually a poet: yet there is something so prac- tically prosaic and pedagogical about her that she may everlastingly be a teacher. This logical head and fertile imagination give her extraordinary advantage in arguing. She even surpasses the Vil- lage Teacher -never is she vanquished. Truly, during NAOMI'S age, woman's place in the scheme of things will be set- tled to the disgruntlement of mortal man. M HELEN ARMFIELD ANDERSON Age, 17g Height, 5 ft., 514 ins.g Weight, 9795. 1916-'17 CSCD 1917-'18 f9CJ 1918-'19 CIOBJ-Bill Davis Literary Society, Assistant Supervisor, 19193 Girls' High School Clubg Marshal, 1919- '20, 1919-'20 f1lBJ-Treasurer of Senior Classg Literary Editor of Tattlefrg John Charles McNeill Literary Society, Super- visor, 1920, Girls' High School Club, Chairman Social Service Committeeg Choral Club, Athletic Association. As ymrc and sweet, her fair brow seemed E'te'rna.I as the skyg And like the bfrook's low song, her voice, A sound which could not die. HELEN was voted the sweetest girl in our Class, and I do not think this good quality is lacking in her face, do you? She possesses a voice like a nightingale and a disposition like an angel. Her loyalty to Charlotte High School, and her willingness to serve in any way, has endeared her to us all. Having met her, she is your friend for life. . .. Ji ,.,..
