SNIPS and CUTS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT m VOLUME XVI PUBLISHED BY The Senior Class of Central High School Charlotte, N C. FOREWORD The door has closed . . . those days are ended . . . They were beautiful days — heart- aching, laughing, young days . . . And when the yea rs have given you wisdom, and in re- turn taken youth, when fain you would re- member those happier days, when you would open that closed door again — take this old annual from the shelf, turn the misty pages, and once again the door is opened wide, though the hinges be rusty, and the dim light but a far faint dream. Forget the heart- hunger and the tears — recapture the golden laughter — and in memory come back to us, back to us and C. H. S. Coach Jack Caldwell DEDICATION To one to whom we feel highly indebted ■ — to one for whom we have such an affection as can exist only for him who has led us to victory on gridiron, hardwood, cinders and diamond — to one whom we shall be sorry to lose — to Coach Jack Caldwell, we dedicate this annual.

Although we may search for days, we would never be able to find suitable words in Mr. Webster to describe Lib. She is an adorable girl with a winning person- ality. If any girl in this school has It, we ' re sure Lib is the lucky victim. Best luck, Lib ! May you continue in way to make life worth while. •i your peppy LELIA M. ALEXANDER Dramatic Club (2) ; Dixie Club (3) ; Honor Society (3, 4) ; Wilsonian Society (4) ; Student Assembly (4). Her smile! It wins your heart completely, and it secures for its wearer a host of friends and admirers. Then, you are soon completely captured by Lelia ' s own particular individuality and personality. She doesn ' t spend all her time in making and keeping friends, though. Be- sides her regular school work she studies violin and piano with zeal. She ' s a willing, helpful and dependable class- mate. Here ' s a toast to your brilliant career in the great world that lies waiting!

Wilsonian Literary Alternate Debating Senior Hockey (4) : Carol is a girl whom everyone calls a good pal. In everything, she ' s right there! Who roots the loudest at the football games? Who ' s the first to volunteer her time for selling tickets? Who ' s an all-round good sport? Just Carol. u Ml You have in you that invincible stuff called persever- ance, old girl!

In scholarship Alice is la creme de la creme, having never failed to lead our honor roll with all A ' s. Besides this, her unfailing good humor and sweet disposition have increased and are continuing to increase her host of admir- ers. The class of ' 28 expects great things from you, class- mate, for we have never seen a person more strongly eq uipped to face life ' s work than you. W. STEWART BEAUCHAMP F. F. F. Club (1); Girls ' High School Club (2. 3. 4) ; Wilsonian Literary Society (2. 3) : French Club (3. 4) : Secretary-Treasurer Old North State History Class (4). When Anita Loos wrote her famous book entitled Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, ' ' she certainly must have been thinking about Stewart. That lovely blond hair and those gray eyes are enough to down the most determined of woman-haters. Stewart has the friendliest smile you ever saw. perhaps that ' s why she has so many friends. Any- way, everybody knows and likes her. The gods were cer- tainly in a pleasant and generous mood when they gave you your qualities. Stewart. WILLIAM BELL Bill is junior partner in the firm of Sharpe t Bell. C. H. S. ' s foremost teacher-tamers. Bill is a likeable boy, admired by all his friends. If popularity determi ned success, he would be a leader among the suc- cessful. Though of a joyous nature. Bill has done well in his studies even unto W. P. ' s trig, which shows that there is plenty of dig in his nature. Here ' s to you. ' Bill. may you see only the silver lining of life! I I I I I | I I I I l ■ : ■■■ . . ERNESTINE BENNETT Varsity Basketball (3, 4) ; Captain As a shy, little freshman Ernestine came to us, her rusty hair the plague of her life. Now, however, her hair is no longer a subject of embarrassment to her, but only one of her many attractions. On the hardwood floor she ' s a streak of greased lightning, and as an all-round athlete she ' s hard to beat. She possesses those qualities which endear her to both sexes. Good luck, Ernestine! May you see only life ' s sunny side. V Gle HENRY BELL BENOIT, J. B. Club (1 ) ; French Club (4) . Still water runs deep. ' JR. In this world of rush and hurry, we find very few people who go slowly along, taking life easily, but here is one who does. Those who know Henry will realize that he is a remarkably fine boy and will some day make a name for himself in the business world. He has as his motto, Beware of the women, and it has stood him in good stead more than once. We ' re sorry to lose you, Henry, but we ' re proud to send such a finished product to the business world. JOSEPH WESLEY BISHOP Joe Debating Club ( President (4) . ) Commercial Club (3, 4) ; Vice- Not over serious, not too frivolous, but a rare good fellow. In Joe we have a classmate of whom we justly may be proud. He has gained quite a rep. for himself in our commercial department. He knows how his work should be done and how to apply himself to it. Two main things make a successful business man — honesty and re- liability, and Joe has both. LL. DELIA PETTUS BLANKENSHIP Dete O. Henry Literary Society (1) ; Latin Club (4). It is sometimes hard to live up to high standards set by older brothers and sisters, so we feel that Delia entered Central with a job on her hands. Many a weary laborer has seen Delia as a bright and guiding light when the problem seemed too hard to solve or the translation simply impossible. She has proved herself a cheerful, helpful, lovable companion. THELMA BOYKIN Glee Club (2, 3) ( 4 ) ; Secretary (4) ; ' Fireside Club C Club (4). (3) ; K. C. Club — And she lived a life of song. You can ' t find anywhere a dearer and sweeter girl than Thelma. Whoever is able to call her friend is well- favored. Thelma leaves behind a memory not only of a lovable personality but also of a golden voice. There is a wonderful future awaiting you, Thelma. May you make your future as huge a success as your happy days in Central have proved to be. EVELYN BORDNER Dramatic Club (1) : Spanish Club (4) : Honor Society (3, 4) ; President (4) ; Student Assembly (3, 4). During her three years at Central Evelyn has made hosts of friends. By her kindness and amiability she has en- deared herself to her classmates: and by her scholastic ability she has scored a knock-out with her teachers. Evelyn is blessed not only with a lovely disposition and a wonderful intellect, but the gods, with a lavish hand, have endowed her with charm and beauty. Brains and beauty make a combination that will win Evelyn ' s way for her wherever she may go. % r F. F. Slingers RUBY LEE BOSTIC Commercial Club (1, 2, 3). Ruby smiles away her playtime. Although she is not overly fond of books, she makes up for this shortcoming in other activities. Ruby has more friends than there are flivvers in the Old North State and every one of them is tried and true. You could travel many a mile and never meet such a jewel as our Ruby. k k k EDITH SARAH BOYLES Club (1) ; G. H. S. C; Entre Nous I j Paint k As soon as Edith entered the doors of Central she made many friends among the students as well as the teachers. She has a personality all her own. and this alone will win her many successes. She is a loyal and sincere friend, and everyone who knows her loves her. Last, but not least of mm } I % her most outstanding traits is her excellent mentality. LEWIS C C Club (4) BRATTON Curly Math Club (3, 4). As blithe a man as you could see Lewis of the smiling eyes and wavy hair is a valued friend. With his quiet assistance he supports all activi- ties. His ability as a musician is a delight to all who hear him. His easy assurance in the presence of the fair ones is a subject for wonder and envy among his less Strive for the heights, Curly ! fortunate brothers. We ' ll back you. U 14 VIRGINIA ANN BROWN Ginger Girls High School Club (4); Spanish Club (1, 2): Paint Slingers (3, 4) ; Glee Club (1 ) ; Student Assembly (1) : C Club (4). Virginia has always been admired by those who know her. She possesses a wonderful artistic talent and has made much progress along this line. A friendly smile and a generous soul are two distinctive features of hers. As our ways part. Virginia, we wish you success and happi- ness. WILLIAM BROWN Bill is of the quiet, retiring type, but once aroused he ' s hard to stop for you can ' t lick a man who won ' t quit. Bill has lived among us long enough for us to learn his sterling worth and well indeed has he impressed it upon us. Bill ' s a good sport and universally well liked and when he goes forth to conquer Wall Street, he ' ll have us pulling for him with all hopes for his success. FLORENCE ELIZABETH BURCH G. H. S. Club (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Track Team (2) ; Treas- urer Student Council (3) : Chairman Junior-Senior Party (3); Swimming Team (3, 4); Captain (3): Paint Slingers (2); Dramatic Club (3. 4): Marshall (3); Athletic Association (2); C Club (4); Associate Editor SNIPS AND CUTS (4) ; Secretary Student Council To know her is to love her. Betty is one of the most considerate, resourceful, and clear-headed girls in our class. Her heart is the biggest thing in school and her disposition always kind and sweet. She is a genuine criterion of practicability, sym- pathetic nature, sincerity, and pep. We know of no more dependable girl than our ole pal Betty. Just listen! She ' s pretty, a star swimmer and the only girl officer of this last semester ' s Student Council. We ' re all out of breath, and lots more could be said. Mutt Dramatic Club (2. 3. 4): State Contest (2); Presi dent (3); Student Assembly (2. 3, 4): Student Coun cil (2) : Letter Club (3. 4): C Club (4); Class Critic (3. 4): Wilsonian Literary Society (4): Glee Club (2); Rambler Staff (3): G. H. S. C. (2. 3); Manager Girls ' Basketball (3. 4); Girls ' Athletic Associ- ation (2) . To all her associates Mutt spells class spirit and en- ergy. Have you ever known anyone who absolutely radi- ated friendship? That ' s Mutt all over. The moment you lay eyes on her your heart goes out to this happy, sensible lass whose gray eyes fairly glow with kindness. Mutt is always ready to aid in any attempt to make Central a better school. She has been the guiding light and protecting influence of our senior class. CLAYTON LEE BURWELL i SS ?

Rare compound of quality, noble and true. With plenty of sense and good humor, too. (3) 4) L 1 Teddy ' s character is a rare combination. He is ad mired for his independence, loved for his friendliness, re spected for his manly qualities, and envied for his ability to play tennis. He has shown his athletic ability by his fine work on the tennis team. This year he brought home the cup for the Mid-South championship. Teddy has proved himself a great asset to the school, and his abund- ance of friends guarantee him a successful life. LESSIE AGNES BYERS Dramatic Club (1): Glee Club (2); (3. 4) ; Girls High School Club. Spanish Club Have you ever heard the expression that precious articles come done up in small packages? Agnes is the original reason for that fact. She is one of our petite seniors who is full of pep and personality. She never seems to lack male admirers, so she must have a dash of pepper and charm with her good looks. How do you do it. Agnes? M, 1 JENNIE MAE CAFFREY Jimmic Home Economics Club (1); Entre Nous (2); Latin Club (3, 4) : Glee Club (2. 3) ; Girls High School Club (4) ; C. Club (4) . Of all the examples of perfect serenity, Jennie Mae fur- nishes the most perfect. None of her numerous friends- — and she wins many sincere ones by listening to the woes of the distrait — have seen her moved by any extreme feel- ing. She is always calm and collected. Apparently, she has no sorrows. May this trait help you play the great game of life. Jennie Mae, and come out a winner. DUNCAN GRAHAM CALDER. JR. Dramatic Club (1, 2, 3, 4) : Treasurer (2. 3) : Paint Slingers (2); Track Squad (2); Mathematics Club (2); Baseball Squad (3); Jr. Hi-Y 1 (3); Senior Hi- Y 1 (4): Secretary-Treasurer Junior Class (3); Foot- ball Squad (4) ; Rambler Staff (4) ; Underclassman Ed- itor Annual (2) ; Honor Society (4) : Student Council (2) ; Recording Secretary Senior Class (4). A boy of most unusual and charming personality is Duncan. His keen sense of humor together with his understanding of human nature have combined to give him an outlook on life that is both remarkable and re- freshing. His bubbling spirits and warm friendliness have sealed his friends to him with bonds of love and admira- tion. GEORGE T. CAREY George is just a good all-round fellow. You never see him without a smile on his beaming countenance. He is held high in the esteem of his teachers and associates. We hate to part ways with you now, George, but we wish you luck. 2 : l ■ Spanish Club (2, 3, 2. 3) ; Glee Club (2). Better known to us as Peanut, a quiet, brown-eyed, smiling chap. Though rarely in Central ' s limelight, his presence is felt in all our activities. Peanut ' s play- time is spent really playing. as he is an invaluable member of our favorite orchestra — and who knows? perhaps the favorite player. All Central joins in a hearty wish for his happiness in the future, and unites in sym- pathy for bis friends when he leaves Central ' s halls GEORGE BLANFORD CHAPMAN Jo Bobey Vice-President Sophomore Class (2) ; Hi-Y (1 4) ; Vice-President (3) ; Scribble and Scrawl (2, Vice-President (4) ; Spanish Club (4) ; Letter Baseball Manager (2); Basketball Manager (3): Editor Annual (3): Football (2, 4); Trainer Rambler Staff (4) . Blessings on thee, little Blan, Central ' s done just all she can. Though we hate to part with you Still, we must bid you adieu. With your smile and twinkling eye The world can ' t afford to pass you by. If S starts smile and also success There ' ll be no doubt of your happiness. So here ' s to you, O Senior Boy! We wish for you the greatest joy. , 2, 3, 3, 4): Club; Sports GEORGE WILKES CHAPMAN George has the sphinx-like countenance of a man of the world, but the twinkle in his eye betrays him. He has sailed through the unruly sea of higher education in carefree enjoyment of life, liberty and pursuit of hap- piness, his inborn American privileges. In his easy-going way he has braved all storms and gales and now is washed in to shore on the crest of the greatest wave, success. u V DELLA WILLIAMS CHESTNUT • ' ' Dee jjHBJ Dramatic Club (2); Math Club (3 ): Dixie Club (4). Music was in her, sweet and sounding . In Delia we have found the requisites of a sho ' nuf friend. What ' s more, she has a wonderful future ahead of her. Her nimble fingers are able to draw from the strings of her violin haunting melody that charms the hearer ' s ears and lingers in his heart. Blessed as you arc with such a gift, Delia, may yours be a life of success and happiness ! PATSY COLYER Pat Wp ' Entre Nous (2, 3, 4): Vice-President (4): G. H. S. C. (1, 2. 3) ; Glee Club (2, 3). Pat ' s heart affairs are her deepest worry, for her ' s is the glorious freedom from trouble and care that is the gift of the gods to the light-hearted. Her smile is so joyous that it is evident in her smiling eyes, the curve of her lips, and even in the jaunty feeling that follows in her wake. We are expecting great things of you, Pat. Let that smile be reflected in the hearts of all you meet. HELEN JOCKSON COMER Shanks (3); President (4); Girls High School Math Club Club (4). We are glad she ' s here and we like her heaps, She ' s in our memory, and she ' s there for keeps! Helen is a girl that is not easily forgotten. She is so friendly that folks just can ' t help liking her. She ' s the very soul of wit and thus makes friends wherever she goes. There is no use to wish her a successful life, because we all know she is going to be a success. So, here ' s to you, Helen, may the best in life be yours! feif DAVID ACRON COOPER D. A. Dramatic Club (2) ; Glee Club (2) ; Commercial Club (3); Spanish Club (4); C Club (4). D. A. is one of our ambitious senior boys who always realizes his ambitions. He won dramatic fame at Alexander Graham and has covered himself with glory in the same line at Central. Much of his time has been devoted to commercial work and. outside interests but he is graduating with high honors in two years ' time in spite of this. We, the seniors, hope for you, D. A., abiding success in life. ALYCE LEE CORNELL Bugs Domestic Science Club (1) ; Glee Club (2) ; Entre Nous (2); G. H. S. C. (2, 3, 4); Latin Club (2 ; Vice-President (3) ; Senior Hockey Team (4) ; C Club (4). Bugs ' secret of success is that she takes everything with a great big grin, even geometry ! She gives the appearance of never-ending pep, but beneath that viva- cious exterior is a serious Bugs who works hard and accomplishes much. When the class of ' 28 finishes its last lap, she can leave with the priceless possession of the good wishes of her many friends. KATHERINE BELL COUCH Couch Glee Club (2); Spanish Club (3); C Club (4); French Club (4); Student Assembly (4). Couch ' s personality is a rare combination of fun and fight. She ' s always present when mischievous fun is brewing. Her winsome ways and never-ending good will toward all her fellow men, together with her sunny dis- position, have made for her a priceless reputation that will live on in Charlotte long after she has gone out to make her way in the world. She is a most accommodating and agreeable person and her worst fault is doing things for others. We wish you Godspeed, Couch, on your detourless way to success! HI Vj JOHN WILSON DANIEL Potsie Baseball (3. 4) ; Football (3, 4) . A quiet mind is richer than a crown. Sincerity, quietness, and loyalty are among Potsie ' s commendable traits. In spite of his quiet and modest ways, he has the respect of a host of friends. P. G. has been active in athletics and also in other student activities. The Fair Sex has long been on his trail, but he is obvi- ously a confirmed woman-hater. Here ' s to you, Potsie. ' May you succeed in everything you undertake! OSCAR WILLIAMS DAVISON Beloved by all, Oscar has in his short stay here added many names to his already overflowing list of friends. He is a willing worker — willing to work one hour a day. if he can sleep the other twenty-three. He was an un- obtrusive little boy when he came to us and most of us can ' t remember where he came from — but we do know where he ' s going! He ' s gonna ' make us one of the big business men in our good olc U. S. ! SANFORD VERE DAVENPORT Orchestra (3) ; Track Team (3, 4). The whole world admires a man who goes to neither extreme but strikes a happy medium. Since this is the case the whole world (as far as he knows it) admires Sanford. His popularity is due to the way in which he accomplishes his tasks and goes about his daily routine — sunny, joyous, with his heart in his work and music in his heart. ill MARTHA McGILL DELANEY F. F. F. Club: Letter Club: Girls High School Club; Vice-President and Treasurer Paint Slingers Club: Girls Athletic Association: Basketball, Varsity (2, 3, 4): Hockey Team (4), Manager; Tennis (1, 2), Manager; C Club (4). Martha, our star athlete, has made an enviable record during her stay in Central. Not only did she play on the ■ varsity basketball squad for three years but she also held first-string berths on the tennis and hockey teams. Mar- tha possesses a friendly and lovable nature which has made her scores of friends, who will greatly miss her. To whatever field she lends her talents, we wish her the best of luck. N SARAH ESTELLE DENTON Fireside Club (2); French Club (2, 3, 4) Although very small in stature Estelle ' s abundant sup- ply of It has won for her many friends in whose hearts she holds a large place. Her efficiency is a characteristic which all her teachers treasure, for she is always willing to help put anything over in the best manner possible. Her spirit and loyalty to C. H. S ' . are unlimited and in all branches she is a staunch supporter of the Blue and the Gray. MARTHA ELIZABETH DIXON Dick Dramatic Club Club (4). (2) ; Math Club (3) ; President Latin -Li a permanent place on our honor roll place in our hearts. Although not the athletic type of girl she is a good sport, and you can never find any one more ready to maintain right and stick up for her pals than Martha. She is the type of friend that everyone claims as his own good ole pal U-LLL lif FAITH ANN DUDLEY Faithless Basketball Squad (1): Varsity (2, 3, 4); Captain ( 3 ) ; Cheer Leader f 3, 4 ) ; F. F. F. ( 1 ) ; Vice-President (1); G. H. S. C. (2. 3): Vice-President Athletic Club (3) ; Letter Club (2, 3. 4) ; Fireside Club (3) ; Spanish Club (4) ; Marshall (3 ) . Faith has been one of the most prominent girls in the school. If there is anything worth while going on you may be sure she has a part in it and as for the basketball team — it will be lost without her next year. Faithless is slightly inclined to be a vamp. Many a poor boy ' s heart has been bruised by this young lady. Her share in molding the destiny of this old world of ours is bound to be a big one. MARTHA ARRINGTON DULIN Girls High School Club (1. 2. 3, 4) : President (3) : Cabinet (4); Glee Club (1. 2. 3); Student Council (2. 3. 4); Secretary (2); Secretary-Treasurer Sophomore Class (2); Secretary and Treasurer Senior Class (4); Marshall (3): Editor-in-Chief SNIPS AND CUTS (4); Scribble and Scrawl (4). When you hear the name. Martha Dulin. what do you think of? Dependability, initi ative, leadership, popu- larity, originality, artistic ability, and pep. In fact, every quality that an ideal girl should have — and then some. Whenever anything is going on at Central, Martha is usually in the middle of it, or at the head of it. She has the loveliest contralto voice which makes you want to lis- ten forever: her dramatic ability is so unusual that you wonder why she devotes herself to amateur performances: and when she picks up a pen — ! She surely is going to be an authoress. Aside from being all these things, Martha is the dearest, truest pal a boy or girl could ever hope for. She seems to be a regular Aunt Jane, for everyone comes to her for advice. Martha. Central High is losing one of the best all-round girls it ever had when you leave. ERNESTINE MARIE DuLONG Spanish Club (3, 4 Club (4). ' Tiney ; Paint Slingers (2. 3 ) C Ernestine possesses a light-hearted disposition with a distinctive personality. Such a mirth-loving classmate with a gay spirit is truly a needed addition to the senior class. Ernestine attracts attention wherever she goes, in that she is a contrast to the mass of people. We are sure that success is waiting for her just around the corner. THELMA ROSA DuLONG How long, oh how long will it take us to learn that there are only two things in this life that really count? One is characer and the other is human sympathy. Quiet, unassuming, a student. That ' s Thelma. Under a veneer of reserve, Thelma has not revealed to us all of her latent virtues. Those who know her well like her well, and the better one knows her, the closer the friend- ship becomes. Thelma leaves Central with the scales tipped in her favor. SAMUEL JACKSON DUNAVANT Jack 2) ; Hi-Y (3) ; Football (3, 4) ; Track Li i Fishburne ( 1 Squad (3). Ask me some questions And I ' ll tell you some lies Li Jack is a rare one — a good football man with a cheery grin and a patent line. You would have to go a long way to find one whose line is so catching. There is an indefinable quality about him that attracts the girls — his good looks or perhaps his air of indifference. Jack has helped to bring to a close one of the most successful seasons in football that Central High has ever had. He will be remembered in the years to come as a mountain of strength in the line of that championship football team. 1 LOUISE WERT DUNAVANT Lou G. H. S. C: Fireside Club; Entre Nous (4) ; F. F. F. Club (1) ; Freshman Photography Club (1). Lou ' s charm is unlimited, her popularity inconceiv- ably large and still growing, and her adorable personality faultless. Louise has captivated everyone at Central, and her place can never be filled in this dear old school. Lou has come to be a synonym for laughter. We love you, Louise, and may you ever throughout your life radiate the happiness that you have spread at our Charlotte High. LL LAURA CRUMP DUNCAN Fireside Club ( 3 ) Fire Monitor ( 3 ) . Crump Glee Club (2) ; Spanish Club (4) : Laura has shown herself to be a comrade tried and true during her stay in Central. Her jovial disposition and happy-go-lucky manner cause gales of laughter to ring in merry good humor wherever her path may lead for she is a happy, carefree companion and an unsually trust- worthy friend. JAMES MOORE DUES ' Jim ' Science Club ( 2 ) . Wisdom is greater than much riches. If the above statement is true, and of course it is. Jim Duls is a multi-millionaire — and then some. One would never dream from Jim ' s quiet, unassuming and rather bashful manner that he is one of our b;st scholars, but — ask anybody in our ole school. He is very clever at making things. having a great mechanical ability. He often amuses his classmates with his dry humor and droll witticisms. Good luck, Jim! Here ' s to you ' G. Tea it DOROTHY HENRIETTA EDMONSON EI. S. C. (3. 4): Entrc Nous (4); Senior Hockey (4) . Although small in stature, Dot has a big warm heart. She has a generous disposition and a smile for everyone. In spite of the fact that she entered Charlotte High in her senior year, she has entered so well into the spirit of things that we feel she has been wi : h us always. Her modesty, dependability, and ready wit have made her a good student and a loyal friend. EVELYN ERWIN To meet Evelyn is to like her, to know her is to love her. She stands always ready to take up her cudgel in behalf of her friends. Now that we are setting out on a road with no mile posts, no signs to guide us, nothing but detour after detour, we feel a little abashed and dis- mayed, but we feel we will find Evelyn there in all her glory when we reach the ultimate end of our path. CA ' CATHERINE HALE FARMER Cat Senior Hockey Team (4) ; G. Nous (4). H. S. C. (4) ; Entrc Optimistic, never lacking enthusiasm as to the outcome of a day. Catherine is just the girl one wants for a best chum. Cat hails from the southland and is the orig- inal Georgia peach. Whenever you need a cheery smile or a heartening word, she has both ready and waiting for you. In fact, she has been a good chum to us all, and we wish her godspeed in her future life. ■I HELEN HOBSON FARR Hobble Wilsonian Literary Society (4). Her happy disposition , her pleasant smile, Have won her friends for many a mile. Although Helen is not always in the limelight of pub- licity, she is one of those youths that you can never forget. Her quiet, unassuming way has won her many friends in C. H. S. who are wishing her the best of luck. ELEANOR RUSTELL FOREMAN Billy G. H. S. C. (I, 2, 3) ; Entre Nous (2, 3) ; Treasurer (2): Dramatic Club (1): Home Economics Club (1). Stylish, and so fair of face, Popular, and full of grace. That ' s Eleanor! Yes, she has the looks and a mighty sweet girl at that. And dance! Oh! My! Can she? Well, I guess. She has just lots of school spirit, too. along with many other good traits. Central High will miss you, Eleanor, and we wish you the greatest joy and success the world can hold! JENNIE VEE FOURES Pris, Baby Student Assembly (3) ; G. H. S. C. (4) ; Fireside Club (2, 3): Math Club (1); Hockey Team (4); Glee Club (1). Jennie has stuck by her motto, Genius is nine-tenths hard work, and since she is possessed with a barrelful of energy, she is a bright and shining light among us. Her ways are so convincing she could make a fence post believe it is a live tree and cause it to bud. All things come to those who toil and work out things for them- selves.

In Marjorie we find the attractive, determined, kind- hearted, jovial girl. The old adage Be what you seem: seem what you are, must have been written for Pris. Her personality is dual — a dreamer — a worker. We ad- mire the worker, stand in awe of the dreamer, and in the meantime are loving Marjorie. 0 .... As one of the outstanding boys of the class of ' 28. Herbst needs no introduction. He ranks high among the students of Central — a good athlete, a good sport, and an all-round, good fellow — these are the characteristics of Herbst. And another thing — it ' s a well-known fact that the fairer sex does not absolutely ignore him! As president of the student council, we have found no fault with Herbst, and we think that he deserves the best that life can give him. So it is with hearts full of love, friendship, respect, admiration, and gratitude that we bid farewell to you, Lad. and wish you the success you so richly deserve in scaling life ' s shaky ladder. LOUISE FULLER l Li Track Team, Captain (3); Basketball Squad (3 Here ' s a gem of a girl — no, she doesn ' t shine, she merely glows with the lustre of true worth. A care- free pal. a clean sport, an all-round athlete — that ' s Louise. Her disposition, full of warmth and true southern girlish- ness. radiates a halo of happiness that envelops all her bearers.

Every graduating class has its literary geniuses, its out- standing athletes, and its scholars, but there are few classes which are so fortunate as to have among their members such girls as Dot. She is one of the sweetest and prettiest girls in our class and admired by everyone. Some people are inclined to think that she is a stringer, but wc don ' t think so. do we. boys? MARGUERITE CLARK GABRIEL Her voice was ever soft and gentle, an excellent thing in woman. You would hardly know Marguerite was in a class- room, except for her absolute and devoted attention. She came to Charlotte in her sophomore year, and we feel that she ' s added to the niceness of C. H. S. by her charming and quiet ways. JUANITA MARIE GATES Nite Juanita came to our school from Ohio in her junior year, but she has made up for lost time, for she has made a host of friends and a name for herself with the teachers. For Juanita is another girl with one of these brilliant minds. She is rather quiet until she starts talking of something about which she is enthusiastic, and then — why she just beams! Nite is certainly an attractive looking girl. Those lovely big eyes, her pretty hair and smile are surely things to make a person look at her twice.

You can ' t tell Central about Jack. Everyone knows and loves him. Not only his intelligence, but his splen- did personality and sincerity of nature have made him outstanding. Always keep smiling has been his motto. Jack is also a leader of the best kind, and he has worked faithfully for various clubs at Central. Teachers have found him capable, willing, and dependable both in schol- arship and citizenship. Ahoy, Jack! I  | I I ill Ll -tLL r mu GERTRUDE MAUDE HAAS Gertrude O. Henry Literary Society (1); A. G.

Gertrude is a true, staunch friend, and when one pierces the outer covering of reticence, she is found to be a most likeable person; one in whom may be put absolute trust ■and one who is always agreeable. Though quiet and tending strictly to her own affairs, she is nevertheless ap- preciative of the works of others, and for this and many other fine qualities, we admire her.

His friendly smile, good common sense, and business ability have made him a very essential member of the student body. The football, basketball, and baseball teams can vouch for his ability and willingness, for he has been manager of all three. Paul stands up for his own opinions, however, and this is a characteristic that is very commendable. Can he get Rambler subscriptions? Well, I guess. Here ' s to you, Paul, we wish you all the success and fun in the world.

Any- way, he ' s a mighty fine boy. Yeny has a hobby — snakes! It is an unusual one but it shows sense and originality. He has made an extensive study of them and has a real affection for them. Since his thoughts run in that direction, seems like he ' d be taking up the fairer sex. too. Well. Yeny ' s still young, and where there ' s life there ' s hope. He ' ll be a ladies ' man yet.

Billy is one of those rare sort of fellows that every- one likes; not too forward, but friendly to everyone; and inclined to be witty and very droll. He was a valuable member of the track team last season, and we arc expect- ing even more from him in the future. Being very fast, he is no slouch on the gridiron. We expect to hear much of Billy in the future.

Not loo sober and not too gay, But a rare, good fellow in every way. Everyone is refreshed by a cheerful smile or a joyous laugh and Hinson seems to have a never-ending supply of wise cracks and is always in the best of humor. Carl has a host of friends, both boys and girls (with stress on .the fairer sex). His friends are many and varied, for he always has a smile and a word of greeting for all who cross his path. The class of ' 28 wishes you a Bon Voyage as you sail out into the unknown future. DAVID LEWIS HOI.BROOKS Pause, gentle readers, tarry for a moment, and gain thereby. This promising lad is one Lewis Holbrooks. Veil, who and what is he? An eighteen-carat. two- fisted ladies ' man. Just how he gets by with so little study is a mystery to his class; we predict for him a great fortune unless he publishes his formula for passing without opening a book. Lewis is a good fellow, an energetic and hard worker, always ready to do more than his part. His appetite is his weakness and he feeds that ole hole in his face enough for two men and then some.

In the field of sports George has made his name by making his varsity C in track and he has well demon- strated his ability in other athletics. It is not for his athletic powers alone that he will be missed, however, for he has found his way into the hearts of all his class- mates, a constant friend, a ready sympathizer, and a true sport such as is seldom one ' s privilege to know. hole i THOMAS B.

He always has a smile (or shall we say a grin?) for everyone. And he has that Irish luck, too: no one can keep a straight face when he starts in. He is one of our high and mighty track men; you really should see him when he starts high jumping and pole vaulting. He certainly knows his form! Luck to you, T.

ELMO HUNTER M4J Commercial Club (3). Treasurer (4); Baseball Squad (3) ; Book Store Manager (4). Elmo has endeavored to make his stay in Central High School as valuable as possible. His ability in organization and business seems to be quite natural with his rugged, determined character.

Noble by birth, yet nobler by great deeds. Jenks is one of those boys with a big, kind heart. He takes pleasure in doing for others. Everywhere ' Jenks goes there is fun and a jolly crowd. Sincerity and friendliness are his chief characteristics: worry is unknown to him. Although everybody knows Jenks, as he is called, he is recognized more readily either in football togs or on the hardwood floor.

The name Yon could suit but one boy in the whole of our senior class. As one of the leaders in Central, his sterling qualities have pushed themselves to the front and caused us to think of him unconsciously as a sincere and valued friend and classmate. Larry ' s athletic record is above reproach and the subject of admiring envy of many a young hopeful. You may leave us. Larry, but the memories you leave behind you of a charming and happy-go-lucky fel- low are planted deep in our hearts. HP m 1 V ' ; ' « m m m lip WILLIAM B.

Loyalty, sincerity, dependability, learning — these are some of the qualities that have made Billie popular with the students and the faculty. He is a boy that ' 28 is glad to call one of its own, a classmate of whom we may be justly proud. Billie has assuredly made a host of friends, which is perfectly natural, considering his ex- ceptionally genial nature. Also, he holds his own with the fair sex. A boy of Billie s character and ability is bound to succeed anywhere.

Not only does she have the power of con- ceiving an idea, but she is willing to do her part in carry ing out her own ideas and those of others.

We have all heard the saying — precious articles come in small packages. That applies very appropriately to Dolly — for she is undeniably precious, and you can judge her size for yourself. Besides that — she ' s a sur- prise package, with lots of attractions; sweetness, talent — especially dramatic — brains, friendliness, frankness, game- ness, and. oh — lot n lots.

LYDIA ASHLEY MOBLEY Lydia Student Assembly 3: Spanish Club (3, 4) : Treasurer (3); President (4); Honor Society (4). Those of us who have known Lydia through our high school years are indeed fortunate and if a friendship was formed, her sincerity of purpose soon made her one of the truest of friends. Many of us yearn for a high place in the realm of study, while Lydia actually achieves this by her effo rts. Lydia is not to be confused with a book- worm scholar: for her happy expression is an outward reflection of her sunny nature within. FERN STEWART MORRIS Presdient Dixie Literature Club (3); Dixie Literature Club (4); Honor Society (3. 4); Secretary Honor So- ciety (4). The world means something to the capable. ' ' Fern ' s middle name should be dependability. She can always be depended on to perform successfully any duty assigned her. She is very studious nad when it comes to Cicero — she knows her stuff! Perhaps Fern ' s most prom- inent characteristic is her stick-to-it-iveness. She sets out to accomplish something — and she does. And what is more she does it well. Fern carries away with her the very best wishes of her classmates. .-If ' .v: ; . ' . £ ' . ' . ' V.

His heart is as far from fraud as heaven from earth. If you want anything done and done well, just go to Joe. In school he is an excellent student, and out of school he is always ready for a good time. Smokey Joe leads his classes and leads the fun. He can work when it is time to work and he can play when it is time to play. On the gridiron Smokey performs with rare ability. He has played his third varsity year for Char- lotte High School. Here ' s to you, Joe, as you put forth these accomplishments in real life. LAURA MILDRED MORRIS Mildred Socrates Historians ish Club (3, 4).

Her outward appearance would make one think that she is an unusually quiet girl, but still waters flow deep; and after knowing Mildred she proves herself a jolly and good-natured companion. We all join in wish- ing her the best o ' luck throughout her whole life. Ml WILSON JEFFERSON MORRIS Jeff Tar Heel History Class (3); President History Class (3); Honor Society (3). Wilson is one of those shining lights in our school. He is one of the quiet and unassuming boys, who say little and accomplish much. Through Junior High, Wilson led the boys in marks and he is still sticking in there now. He demands the respect of all his classmates on account of his brilliant brain work. It is said that when Wilson speaks, wisdom is present, and we ' re expecting greater things from him after be graduates. lll I II IIHIm JOHN MUIRHEAD Hi-Y Club 2 years. John is a quiet, unassuming kind of boy. but he has made many friends, and is liked by everyone. He has distinguished himself on the field of athletics, for he is a splendid player.

MYERS Pinheud Spanish Club (3, 4) ; Basketball Squad (1. 4) : Track Squad (3, 4). Bill is a good-natured ole boy, being the blunt end of more jokes than two men and three boys could think up in a week, but he spends his time cheerfully plotting his dark and bloody revenge which usually comes to grief in another joke. He takes life with a smile which is reflected on the faces of those he meets and in his own life. Pinhead. ole boy. when you step out on the big ole cinder track of life, give ' em all you ' ve got, hold your pace, and the finish line will back up to meet you. JESSIE NIXON Glee Club (3); Spanish Club (4). Jessie is a very quiet but very sweet and attractive girl. All of her teachers like her very much, for she is bright and is always conscientious in her school work. Nick, ' ' as her friends call her. has been in our class along with the rest of us. having her ups and downs with us. too. I know our old school will miss the sight of Jessie ' s blonde head bending over her books next year. However, wher- ever she goes, we know she will make good ! V Kv- .V.. - ■ r, f,.

EUGENIA OKEY Jean Dramatic Club (2) ; Nature Study Club (2) ; Literary Editor Broadcaster (2); Entre Nous (4): Latin Club (4); C Club (4); Scribble and Scrawl (4). Jean has surely an unusual amount of sweetness and charm. Originality, talent, grace, and beauty all combine to make her the dear little girl we know. These talents she ' s always willing to use for the enjoyment of others. Truly, when she opened up her eyes and saw the world for the first time, it was as a tiny flower opening with a happy life-time before her. We love you, Jean, and though your days at Central have come to a close, its doors will ever be open to you. ■ Ml JULIA CHAPIN ORR Girls High School Club (4) : C Club (4) Then, be good to her, stars above! Julia, though tiny she may be, has won a great place in our hearts during the short year she has been with us. Her smiling blue eyes cheer many a weary heart. When she passes through Central ' s halls, there seems, always, a ray of golden sunshine left in her wake. Her girlish charm is a dear attribute to her nature. We are hoping for a glorious future for Julia. MARIE TRENHOLM OSBORNE Girls High School Club: Paint Slingers (3. 4) : Honor Society (3, 4) ; Honorary Member of Dixie Club (3, 4) : Scribble and Scrawl (4). .She ' s kind, modest, sincere and true, A better friend have none of you. Marie is quiet, studious, lovable, and sincere, with a smile and cheery greeting for everyone. She is always reliable and loyal as well as being attractive and courteous. She is not one to make a big fuss or show, but quietly does her share in making Central the grand ole school it is. She is trustworthy and dependable and that is what counts most in life. ANNA CATHRINE OTTEN Anna Tennis Team (3) : Paint Slingers (3, 4) About a year ago another delightful young girl decided to stop at Central. She possesses a wonderful combina- tion of dignity and that rare element called charm. In those clear, intelligent blue eyes of hers one sees truth, fullness, and sincerity. These combined characteristics readily won her many friends. We ' re certainly glad you ' re here, Anna, and only wish that you could have been here longer. Tennis Tear Squad (3). A tall form and a bashful smile. That ' s Frank. We might not always see his name in print, but we know he is here just the same.

Ed came to us two years ago from the Nashua High School in New Hampshire. Blessings on thee. High, for the friend you gave us. Nash i MARTHA WESTMORELAND PARKS Marty. by her quiet and refined manner and sweet winning ways, has won many friends in high school. She has worked hard and earnestly and has made a splen- did record for herself in high school and has won the high regard of her teachers.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. ' ' has, like other rules, exceptions. In fact, she is one of them, black hair, brown eyes, and many admir- ers.

Have you ever known a girl with a charming person- ality, a sterling character, and a dash of sarcasm to make her interesting? Mary is full of fun. but back of it all you see the fighting spirit that always wins the day. She is a source of never-ending wonder for one never knows what delightful idea may pop into her head next. MARGUERITE LASCO PERRY Marguerite is one of the luckiest of the lucky. She is blessed with a brain that doesn ' t have to be coaxed or forced to grasp a difficult problem or translation: she never associates with school books, and can look the teacher straight in the eyes with such an intelligent ex- pression on her face that even Miss Fannie can ' t tell but what she knows her lesson perfectly — consequently the question is asked of someone else. She is popular among the girls, a favorite among the boys, and honest with the whole world. i ; 3 i - ?

We live not to ourselves; our work is life. Walker, or Petrie, as he is affectionately dubbed, can be seen here, there, or anywhere around school. It is needless to say that he is popular, for his interest in school activities as well as a ready sense of humor make him loved by all. Walker has made an excellent leader in various clubs and in his classes. One can just tell that he will succeed and make a name for himself. I VERTIE REBECCA POTTS Who said it was the little things of life that counted? Somebody — anyhow, we think so, too. She just radiates smiles and things wherever she goes. Quiet, yes; but such a nice quietness — a pleasant quietness. She has a way of looking out ' a the eyes like she knows sumpen real nice — about everything in general. We hope you keep that same cheerful outlook on life, Vertie.

Anna, with her sunny hair and laughing eyes, has en- deared herself to us all by her friendliness and sense of fair play. She has a gypsy way of taking life as it comes — no worry sits heavy on Anna, yet she is a fine executive and when we want anything carried through well, we look to her to do it. Her loyalty to her friends is her outstanding characteristic. In the big road of life, ole pal, hold the pace you ' ve got and on the steep grades to success when others falter, you ' ll ride smoothly on in high gear to get the reward that is justly yours. u EARL ROBERT PRICE A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays, and confident tomorrows.

His fellow students have given him many offices of trust in the school which he has filled with a great deal of capability and efficiency. With all this he has had time to make many friends and you bet they are proud of him, too! MAXWELL PRITCHARD The above tin-type shows not a social lion but a wolf in shick ' s clothing.

If it takes a pleasing personality, an ever-ready friendly word, and a helping hand in time of need, to make a good fellow, Tommy can truly be called a prince of good fellows. He is a boy who takes his work seriously and life good-naturedly. But speaking about the girls (and Tom certainly does love to speak about them) his blue eyes, school-girl com- plexion and ever-ready smiles are just like a magnet to them. He is not an artist, but he certainly does draw well. Here ' s luck, Tom. We ' re for you! HOYT WALTER SHORE Student Assembly (3, 4): Football (4): Baseball ([2, 3, ,.

There may be some in high school who have done more work in student activities, but there is none who has done his work better. As one may see by his list of activities, Walton was on the Student Council his last semester at Central.

A most interesting person: a most humorous person; a most generous and congenial person: and pretty. What d ' ya want for a nickel? But she ' s all that, with nice blue eyes and an individual personality and haircut — to say nothing of a good literary and journalistic sense. One way she has of expressing herself other than using her hands and squinting her nose attractively is with the ole quill and fluid. Yes: another Spenser. Her witticisms have made no few resent her superiority in that line. NATHANIEL GIBSON SPEIR Nat President Sophomore Class (2); Hi-Y (1, 2. 3. 4); President (2, 4) : Student Council (2. 3. 4) : Chief Marshal (3) ; Vice-President Senior Class (4) ; President of Senior Class (4) ; Chairman of Senior Ring Commit- tee (4). Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. We find in Nat the highest type of young man. one who is loved by all and hated by none, an ideal fellow to have as a friend and companion. Through his efforts and untiring interest in the political affairs of Central High, Nat has made a name for himself, built upon that firmest of foundations, friendship. He puts over whatever he attempts. As president of various organi- zations he has more than proven his ability. In Nat. Central does not lose a student, but sends one forward to the greater outside world where his achievements and successes will make Central proud of her noble son. Ik -. r— : - ft IABEL ETHELYN STRICKLAND Nena Glee Club (1): Dramatic Club (2). By wisdom wealth is won. Mabel came to us from Indiana, in her junior year. Since then she has established herself as a good student in the eyes of the faculty and her fellow classmates. Mabel possesses that determination which is sure to bring suc- cess. She has demonstrated abilities that are bound to carry her far in life, if she applies them as she did here.

Nothing in the world seems to daunt Elizabeth. Sh has ventured into the fields of music, poetry and prose and conquered them. Musically and journalistically she has won two cups and many honors. This past year she has proved herself the able and efficient editor-in-chief of The Rambler in addition to being a splendid student. Here ' s to your future success, old pal, may good for- tune go with you into whatever field you may go! HENRY SHANNON TAYLOR Hen Baseball (3, 4). Henry comes to us from the lazy warmer climes, but he is possessed of a cheery disposition and always leaves a jovial atmosphere in his wake. When you meet Hen you are sure of a merry grin and a cheery greeting. His dependability is one of his foremost traits of character, and he puts his best into all his undertakings. We ' re for you. Hen ! Here ' s to your success! 1 GLADYS TEMPLETON Fireside Club (2, 3); Commercial Club (4). Good nature and good sense are ever joined Gladys is a loyal student always giving her very best to every task. As a friend she is sincere in every wav, one in whom utter confidence can be placed.

Joe is an all-round boy. not only in size, but student activities as well. Smoky, as his friends call him. is interested in automobiles and he knows them from water cap to tail light. He says, modestly, that he has no ambi- tion in life, but we all know that Joe. regardless of ambition, will become successful in life. Good luck. Joe. MARY LOUISE THOMAS Mary Lou Student Assembly (2); Dixie Club (3. 4): Secretary (3): Honor Society (3. 4); Vice-President (4). I I Her sunshine hair and eyes of blue Clothe a nature loyal and true. You ' d have to go far to find a friend truer than Mary Lou. She prepares her lessons on the principle that it is better to have work well done. She is loved by everyone because of her sweet disposition. We are sure that Mary Lou will succeed in anything she attempts. ETHEL CLARISSA THOMASSON MirP jJ i!|ui| Latin Club (2); Fireside Club (2. 3); G. H. S. C. Hair as black as a ruoen ' s wing. Yes, the nicest color of black hair; olive and rosy com- plexion that looks so nice with pearl earrings and things: and black and white eyes. Besides being thus, she ' s quite an efficient student. So you see she is quite a commend- able person. Really, I think this is a rather good wiite- up — no? PI? Hoimun Rambler Staff (4) . Introducing Hoimun, ' ' Central ' s original radio ex- pert, champion chess player, and electrical engineer. We don ' t know which of these fields to call his hobby, but he certainly is a prodigy in all of them. Besides this, he is a member of the Rambler staff, which is one more reason the Rambler is such a good paper. We will remember Hoimun chiefly for his sincerity and friend- liness.

L ki JAMES EVERETT TURNER. JR. Hi Alexander Graham History Club (3): K. C. Club (4) : Home Room Representative (2. 4). Everett has a keen sense of humor, and is seldom seen without a smile. His merry grin and witty remarks have won him many friends in high school. His gentle nature, his self-control, his willingness and patience and high ideals all combine into a strength of character most ardently admired and duly respected. May his life be full of success and happiness! MARY ELIZABETH VEAL Ike Mike Girls High School Club ( 1 . 2. 3,4): Entre Nous (4) ; Fireside Club (1, 2, 3, C 4). Club (4) ; Mary is a very attractive girl; we like her lots. Her sweet disposition and sunny smile have won for her many fricpds in our school. She is the lucky possessor of quite a few brains, from all outside appearances, for she always knows her lessons and is popular with the teachers. She is a very good writer; in fact, she once won a national prize for a play she wotc. We ' re betting on her success in life. GEORGE LOUIS VAN ECHOP Gawky French Club (2); Business Manager of Rambler (4). Due to George ' s executive ability and fine school spirit, we find in him the type of student who has done his best for Central. Underneath his happy-go-lucky and witty exterior there lies a real interest in Central and her under- takings. Through all his high school years George has made a name for himself in many phases of a school boy ' s life. As a friend he is sincere and loyal and as a student — invaluable. The wishes of his school pals for a happy and brilliant future go with him as he leaves old Cen- tral Hi. LOUISE VALEAR Have you noticed the various posters and placards that plaster the walls about time for student council election? If you haven ' t take a peep into the ole skulc about time for the election. It will be well worth your while. The qualities that the motley group of candi- dates is rumored to possess may be all rolled into one and named Louise Valear. Yes, she is dependable, and honest and capable. If you don ' t know Louise, take a tip from somebody who knows and look her up today.

Salem is a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool ladies ' man. He is one of the fortunate few with a cheerful outlook on life and nothing more to worry him than one of his female friends. His record as a gentleman and a scholar is the envy and admiration of the school, and he has made for himself a remarkable name as a buxom, thor- oughbred and altogether charming lad of unusual promise. Don ' t be alarmed at his handsome and dignified ap- pearance. He ' s a darn good fellow in spite of his pretty face. pea WILLIAM HAMILTON VAN EVERY Bill ' Ham ' enus Little William Hi-Y Club (3, 4). Bill has more friends than a dog has fleas, but unlike the dog, he seems to be more or less glad of it. And he just seems to have a way about him which the ladies can ' t resist. We can ' t say that he is such a Venus in his classes, but anyway it looks like he ' s really going to get the sheepskin this year. He seems to be the last survivor of that lost but happy art of how to pass without studying. It must be a fine thing, and we certainly wish we knew how. Central is losing a good old boy when Little William sets out for bigger things. SPIROS MILTON VILLAS Track Squad (1, 2. 4); Student Assembly (4) Spiros spells dependability, sensibility and intellect He ' s very conservative when he is around strangers, but not among his intimate friends. He has proven his de- pendability to his teachers and fellow students by always being up with the goods. May Spiros ever keep that spirit, so that the world will look upon him in the same light that we do. -m m ■ ■ EDWARD LA RUE VINSON Ed Wilsonian Literary Society (3, 4) ; Scribble and Scrawl (4). It was the loss of Orlando High School and our gain when Ed decided to come to C. H. S. as a member of ' 28. As a classmate we have realized that the better we know him the better we like him. He is a boy of sound judgment, sincere in opinions, and splendid character, but he is not serious at all times, but known throughout the school for his mischievous pranks. si EVELYN LOUISE WAGNER Evelyn F.lTF.

Club (2, 4) : Track Team (3) ; Math Club (3. 4): Honor Society (3, 4); Student Assembly (3): Latin Club (4): State Music Contest (3); Dra- matic Club (4 ) . As a student Evelyn stands in the front ranks, more- over she doesn ' t have to dig. for Mother Nature chose to endow her with a quick, sharp intellect as a tool for learning. She hasn ' t laid it on the shelf, either. But best of all her own sweet personality which would win for her oyer any obstacle. We. who love you. wish you the splendid success which we know awaits you just around the corner. BETTY WALL I p W fo| III hi Junior Marshal (2): Rambler Staff (3): G. H. S. Club (3. 4) : Vice-President Paint Slingers Club (3. 4) : C Club (4) : Dramatic Club (4) ; Spanish Club (4). Artistic is her temperament — even her hair curls natur- ally, as a real artist ' s should. This coupled with her fas- cinating personality, has produced a combination that C. H. S. hates to lose. In fact, superlatives just can ' t be avoided when Bet is discussed, for she is superlative herself, both in good looks, attractiveness, and in her possession of many talents. FRANCES LOUISE WARE Glee Club (1); Science Club (2); Latin Club (3); Spanish Club (4); C Club (4). Frances showed up in high school with a determined will to make good, make friends, and catch all the good times coming her way. She stands in her shoes like a fo ' hundred dolla ' mule. or in more appropriate lan- guage and better suited to the young lady in question, she holds herself like a princess, not aloof from the crowd, but naturally born and bred to the better things of life. Her busiest hours are clothed with contentment, and she is ever too full of the virtues of a real gentlewoman to lend an ear to evil. W. DURANT WARWICK Shank Senior Hi-Y (3, 4); Spanish Club (4): Monogram Club (3. 4); Freshman Basketball (1); Varsity (3. 4) ; Frosh Baseball (1) : Varsity (3, 4). Shank is not merely liked but also admired by those who know him, for he possesses the true traits of charac- ter found only in the limited few. He has made an unusual success in every athletic field that he has entered. He has played on the varsity basketball squad for three years, and his prowess on that hardwood floor is unex- celled by his would-be aspirants. On the baseball dia- mond he ' s a coming Walter Johnson. His sincerity and determination have won him a host of friends who wish him the best o ' luck for the future. SARAH WALLACE If we were to tour the whole world in search of a true friend, we would find none more loyal than this smiling lassie. Could we but obtain the key to her reserved nature and unlock the door to her heart we would find stored away in Sarah ' s inner self a seldom -expressed but ever burning desire to find truth in all of its beauty. Prophecy concerning her future is unnecessary since Nature rewards those most worthy. MABEL ODETTA WEBB Bugs They are welcome that bring good cheer. Mabel has a certain friendliness about her that speedily wins the hearts of those who know her. Reserved and quiet, she is of that rare class who give you a definite sense of wholesomeness and cheerfulness. Her modest manner has won for her friends who will continue to wish her the very best that life can hold in store. WILLIAM DAVIS WEBB Bill Math Club (2. 3); French Club (3. 4). Tall, slender, a real he-man. Bill. with his blonde hair and good looks is our best-loved sheik and has ensnared the hears of many fair damsels. He is a good pal to all the boys, but a regular Chesterfield among the girls. He has all the good qualities ascribed to an ideal Beau Brummel. charm, beautiful manners, and a way with women. He fairly beams with good humor and radiates good will. We are certainly glad to have him in our class of ' 28 and are looking for great things from him in the future. WALTER WEINHOLD Walter has come back to us this year after having been at Kings Business College last year. Walter is not known because of his boisterousness but because of his quietness which the student body and teachers recognize as reserve, not basbfulness. Charlotte High will miss you. Walter, but knows you will be a success elsewhere as here. Dick. is one of the best-liked boys in the senior class. Though not of an ostentatious type, he has impressed his worth upon his teachers and comrades. In his s tudies he has been remarkably successful and in his future life as one of Charlotte ' s business men. we are sure he cannot help but succeed. Dick is one of Miss Bertha ' s aggre- gation of students from Alexander Graham, who have stuck together ever since arriving here, and if one wishes to know, ask us. We know him and honor him. MAURICE HILL WENTZ Maurice knows much and is ambitious to know all. Nature surely must have broken the model when she fin- ished this specimen, cause we haven ' t found another to compare with our ole Maurice. He never allows any- thing to worry him. not even his love affairs. He is sure to make good in the world, for he gives the best he has and the best is sure to come back to him. SARAH RICHTER WHEELER Sarah G. H. S. Club (2. 3. 4) : Chairman of Publicity (4) : Entre Nous (3) : Marshal (3) : Paint Slingers (2. 3. 4). Has anyone ever seen Sarah without her smile? She always seems to be just about the happiest girl we know. But it is not always smiling lips that count. Often smil- ing eyes are much more winning — and Sarah ' s big brown ones certainly are. But aside from this. Sarah is always willing to do her part and do it well. Here ' s to you. Sarah! You ' ll often be missed, but never forgotten. HELEN ADELE WHITE Greatheart French Club (4) ; Fireside Club (2, 3) ; Girl Reserves (1 ) ; G. H. S. Club (4). With apologies to the author of the old adage, Valu- able things come in small packages, ' ' we beg the leave to introduce to you a little lady who fits that jingle. She is small, but nevertheless impresses herself on one, what with her executive ability (to keep people out of hall at recess) and her conversation, which is imaginative enough. All in all, Helen is a nice combination of humor, imagination, and sense and. needless to say, a necessary member of ' 28. ERNEST M. WHITTINGTON Math Club (2); Latin Club (3): K. C. Club (4): History Club (4); Senior Hi-Y II (2. 4). Have you ever seen people whose presence you seem to feel rather than see or hear? Such a fellow is Ernest; retiring but very conscientious. He is an Eagle Scout; nuffsed. We think a bit of prophecy was evolved when he was named — Ernest is just what his name implies. fcs. BEAUMERT WHITTON President Freshman Class (1 ) : President Junior Class (3); Student Council (3): President (4); Science Club (2. 3); Senior Hi-Y (1, 2. 3): Honor Society (4); Literary Society (4). Not swift, nor slow to change, but firm. ' ' Beaumert has been a faithful, untiring student through- out his four years with us. We think that during his Freshman year, he took as his motto. To love and be wise is impossible, but he has at last reformed his ways. During his junior year, he was the only boy in Central High to make A ' s on all his subjects. Outside of school activities he won the Eagle Scout Badge, the high- est honor of the Boy Scouts. His high standard of living has been an example and an inspiration to our school. With his years, may his good qualities grow greater. ■ Ml III FREDERIC AUSTIN WILKIE Freddie Basketball 4) ; Baseball Letter Club Freddie hailed from Forest City, North Carolina several years ago, but he has been with us long enough now to be called an old timer. Freddie is always ready for a good time. Worry is not in his vocabulary, at least he never uses it. If there is nothing of interest going on. Freddie makes it his business to start some- thing. He certainly does feel at home on a basketball court. He never was known to miss a baseball in the field, and he certainly knows how to wield the willow. Go to it, Freddie ! We hope to see you signed with the Yankees in the course of a year or two. FRANK WILLOCK kc k % Mi k kt . Occasionally we meet people whom the longer we know the better we like, and the more we admire their enviable traits. Just such a person is Frank. When life ' s knotty problems arise we need not hesitate to refer to Frank, for his untiring persistence in working has turned his fame to well warranted glory. We hold him in high esteem and feel that our lives have been enriched by coming in contact with his forceful personality. JAMES HERMAN WILSON Hermes Herman is naturally gifted in subjects relating to physics and electricity and if he chooses this field for his field of endeavor he will do so with the knowledge that if anyone has entered this field with hope smiling brightly before him, he himself is on a par, if not above them in natural ability. Herman possesses a keen brain of the analytical type and can take most any problem apart and solve it. Here ' s success to you. old boy; do your best. wi ll Hi MARGARET WILSON Ever on the alert for acquiring new things, Margaret has wended her way through high school, sailing serenely on her way making commendable marks and never crack- ing a book. Her readiness to participate in all activities, her appreciation of a good joke, and her willingness to help her friends in a pinch have bound her to our hearts with everlasting bonds. Whenever we recall our happy days in Hi Skule in after years, the image of Margaret, stamped indelibly on our minds, will come before eyes that are misty because our paths were not the same for longer. LLOYD C. WITHERS. JR. Stupe Photographers Club (1); Math Club (1) Club (2): Track Squad (2): French Club (31 ball (2, 3, 4). Stupe has won many friends at C. H. S.. and a good many of them are his feminine admirers. There are rumors, not without foundation, that he slings that ole hot line, and he seems to be pretty successful at it. His stay with us here has shown us that he has many qualities necessary for success. We will do well to watch his smoke! Latin Foot- WILHELMINA JANE WOHLFORD Meenie G. H. S. C. (2. 3. 4): State Music Contest (3. 4): French Club (2, 3, 4). A dramatic hush, and then a voice, golden, pure — as the melody pours forth you are oblivious of people and things about you. Your whole consciousness is attuned to the music and its message. You probably expect me to say, So realistic is the reproduction of the new Orthophonic that you are at opera in your own home! This, however, is no ad for a music store, but an intro- duction of our Meenie to the unfortunate mortals not already acquainted with her. Her whole being is in harmony with the melody in her songs and in her soul. She is unusually lovable as a pal and steadfast as a friend. ill Ww ■ LOUIS WOOLF This young man leaves an impression of noble birth and rearing whenever he heaves into sight. He was made of the finest material and woven in the grandest loom that old Mother Nature possesses. A thread of gold runs through the fine weave of the fabric of which he is fashioned. The God of his fathers has given him ideals and ambitions and a noble mind. We re sorry to lose you. Louis, but here ' s hoping you hit the bulls eye of your chosen field of work with the shining arrow, Suc- ROSE MOZELLE YANDLE m To a stranger, Rose, otherwise known as Nippy appears to be a quiet, modest girl. To those who know her, however, Nippy is known to be sincere, witty, and altogether interesting. She is fond of algebra, to which, we think, she owes her quickness of thought. We wish her every success and happiness in her future life. FLORENCE YARBROUGH French Club (1, 4) ; A. G. Dramatic Club (2) ; G. H. S. C. (3); Latin Club (3); Student Assembly (3): Basketball Team (3) ; French Club (4) ; C Club (4). Greater than their knowing. One of Central ' s dearest and kindest friends is Florence. Hosts of friends and comrades admire her. She ' s one of the kind you like to have smile at you in the hall. She is sincere, quiet and capable, thus possessing three rare qualities found in a girl. We are sure her sweet charm will carry her on to a bright, sunny future. CLASS HISTORY One thinks of history as a narrative of events relating to a cer- tain people or things. Thus, strictly speaking, the history of our class should naturally contain an account of the high spots of that which has befallen us since we first entered high school. Let us, therefore, rather look back over the past four years and reflect how various things have affected us. Way, way back in the years of stiff, starched dresses and prim, pressed suits — you know — the days when girls wore socks and boys wore stockings and garters — a goodly element of a noisy mob that awaited the initial opening of Central Hi ' s new and squeaking doors were we, the nucleus of the class of ' 28. We were practically obscured for the two following years by our so superior elders, Juniors, Seniors, and what nots. But we came out of hibernation none the worse to join our oncoming and triumphant forces from A. G. Our sophomore year we consider a veritable success — the foundation of that unequaled spirit of ' 28 that we have carried even unto this day. Selah. In that year, under the priceless guidance of as priceless a friend, Miss Ethel Boyte, we selected our flower, motto, and also our banner, the first in the history of Charlotte schools. Our flower — the daisy — chosen for its economy and beautiful simplicity — we recognized as symbolic of perseverance and loyalty. Our motto: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield, is as strong as the words which compose it. Our banner was fashioned after the flower and motto in yellow and white satin. The first hard-earned ( ? ) money for ' 28 was made by a chapel program, Movie Skits, in which the cinema played some part and we the rest. The year finally ended with ' 28 ringing in our ears. The whole junior year seems now to have been nothing but a continual planning for the Junior-Senior party. Our thoughts waxed quite pecuniary for some months. We would be the most elaborate and enjoyable of hosts and hostesses ever known! How- ever in between these scheming moments we never forgot that ours Page Eighty-eight was the next turn — ours the next feast — ours the next triumph! We marshalled out the class before us and with the last moments of this year came the realization that those vacant places were now ours. The time came, as it naturally would, after the natural passing of a summer, when we were rather bewildered and wholly delighted to find ourselves possessors of the front seats in chapel — in other words — Seniors. We found ourselves, queerly enough, being looked up to. There were lots of things to be done — pre-mortem stuff — such as: What shall the gift be? How many of you will bring your fifty cents by next meeting? Go to the office for cap and gown measurements. Bring your little sisters and brothers and things for mascots. Buy your annual now, or forever hold your peace. The rings have come! Who ' ll preach the bacteriological sermon? Such are the phrases that the walls of Central High would murmur endlessly if they could speak of the things gone by. Yes, we have reached the pinnacle — we, this class of ' 28 — now stand ready to turn the knob of the next door ... It is with the deepest love and satisfaction that we look back over our high school days — days that we shall reflect upon hereafter as the happiest of our l ives. Never shall we forget that we were one of those who in their seeming infancy termed themselves, proudly, the class of ' 28. Humbly submitted, Thomas W. McLean, Historian. Page Eighty-nine CLASS PROPHECY TIME : 25 years hence. 1 953. PLACE: Nicely appointed living room; big grate fire, cozy chairs. CHARACTERS: One of those iron-gray, middle-aged gentlemen with his newspaper and after-dinner cigar. Young boy about seventeen writing busily at desk. Suddenly, in the silence. Dad. how do you spell ' physiognomy ' ? Why. son, that ' s simple. Physi-o-g, er — phy-so — no. well, look it up in your dic- tionary. Why should you have need of such a word anyhow? Well. Dad, as you know, I ' m the prophet of the senior class and I ' ve gotta turn this thing in in two days, and I really can ' t think of a darn thing to write. The youth of today is not as efficient or original as they were in my day. Did I ever tell you that I was prophet of the class in my senior year. 1928? No? Well, I was. Yes. I think I ' ve got that old annual here somewhere. Yes. here it is. Now, come over here and let an old-timer give you some hints. Here we arc. You go with young Nat Speir, don ' t you? Well, here is his father ' s picture. Old Nat was president of the class in which I graduated. Old Nat is S. P. U. president now. And here is Joe Morris. The fire department head now, who demanded new hose to replace that burned in the fire which destroyed Pinhead Myer ' s liquor warehouse. Pinhead is making much money, too. since prohibition was discarded through the efforts of Senator Dick Simpson. And here is Ty Reid. He ' s custodian of your Consolidated Central High, is he not? We had a man called Freeman when I went. What? The pupils call him Stub? How unusual. Well, well, Martha Dulin. our famous lawyer, who is known far and wide for her brilliant oratory. It was just a short while ago that she got Ben Roark and that blonde bobbed-haired bandit. Mildred Stratford, out of jail, after Judge Yeny Heckenbleikner had sentenced them to a year for holding up Motorman Al Lansford in Myers Park. This handsome lady? Stewart Beauchamp. She was the third point in that famous eternal triangle; Henry Stohbar and Bill Webb were the other two points. Me? I was only a corollary. And Herbst Fullerton. Why. you know him. son; the famous Fullerton. Ph.D., A.B.. B.S.. M.D., S.O.S.. President of Agnes Scott College for Women. There is a reason. And, by the way, I hear that Red-likker is still a freshman at U. N. C. Ah. here is Louise Fuller, who I understand is teaching dancing in New York, where Lucia Harding and Elizabeth Sutton are editors of the New York Times, and Bobby Smith is drawing political cartoons for the same paper. I hear also that Esson McCanless is a great politician in the thriving metropolis of Belmont, where he employs that crooked lawyer. Carl Hinson. to get him out of trouble. Lou Dunavant has just left to discover the Fountain of Youth: she took Elizabeth Miller with her and I understand that Financier Duncan Calder supplied the money for it. He used to have a secret passion for Lou anyhow. And Faith Dudley; how that woman could string. According to the latest advices, she is still doing that thing in Paris, where she went to get her divorce from Shank Warwick who married her on a wild party. Here is Mary Sue Lcdford. manager of the Old Ladies ' Home. She fits right in. Jenks Hutchison? Horny is superintendent of Charlotte ' s street cleaning department, as you probably know. Sure, white caps and everything. He has charge of Jack Guy and Blan Chapman, who are also in this department. George Van Echop has charge of the credit department of Ivey ' s. Tommy Shelton is elevator boy there. They tell me Dolly Martin has control of the cafeteria at the school. Is that true? Does she serve you soup? Yes? Exactly as it was when I was there. Did you know that Grace McPhail has a job as a lion and tiger tamer in Lloyd Withers World ' s Greatest Page Ninety Circus? Sure, and Beaumert Whitton is the clown. You know the usual reason. Lewis Bratton is in jail. No, no crime. He went there to get protection from his wife, who used to be Virginia Knee. Virginia? She and Kirby broke up. and he went to Africa and from what I heart is hunting alligators. Tom McLean went crazy trying to figure out why a chicken crosses the road. Gosh, here ' s Mary Patterson. She used to be a card. She ' s the noted Mrs. Reginald Van Ritzy, who you remember killed her husband, vamped the jury at the trial and got acquitted. Eleanor Foreman has opened a home for stray cats and dogs. She always did have a kind heart. Wilhelmina Wohlford is singing for the Metropolitan Opera Company, and the other night she sang that opera. Riggy-let-us-go. which John Muirheid composed. It brought down the house. Ernestine Bennett is the famous actress coming here in the play. Two Little Ones for a Big One. ' ' Yep. Second Sarah Bernhardt, so they say. Henry Benoit is her leading man. He ' s a hot sketch. Evelyn Bordner ' s running a candy shop. Joe Bishop spends most of his time around there — bummin ' eats. I suppose: Dot Gardner has just turned author: finished a book called Fascinating Womanhood. or something like that. She ought to know. George Houston is head coach down at school, isn ' t he? Do you play football under him? Pretty good coach, isn ' t he? Yes. that ' s what he always said. Billy Johnston was engaged to Jean Okey. but she broke it and so Billy has become a man-about-town. Sleepy Thomas and Betty Burch have joined a troupe of acrobats and are touring a Keith circuit. Sleepy always was up in the air. Claude Trapp ' s got a canary store. He should sell squirrels. I can ' t remember any more. son. and seeing that you ' re rather bored. I think I ' ll go to bed and let you write your prophecy in peace.

Simpson City of Charlotte- f At ' tempt-at-Law ■Precinct of Garinger. | We, the class of 1928, being of unsound mind and broken bodies caused by twelve years of hard labor, realizing that we are soon to be numbered with the departed, do arouse ourselves from our dying condition in sufficient manner, to hereby in the presence of these witnesses de- clare this to be our Last Will and Testament, and also declare any other written heretofore or hereafter to be null and void. Article I To the business people and any other people of the City of Charlotte that have played the part of Good Samaritan to us. we wish to express our sincerest thanks for their kind help at all times. Article II To our faculty we leave our heartiest thanks for all that they have done and undone for us. Their guiding hand has been to us as the Star of Bethlehem to the shepherds. Words can- not express our thanks to them in guiding us over the rough road of school life. Article III To our worthy principal. Dr. E. H. Garinger, it is our pleasure to express our deepest gratitude for the timely and worthy advice he has given us on all occasions. Article IV To Coaches Caldwell. Skidmore. Bonitz, Ternen, and Gullickson, we realize your efforts to turn out successful teams have been almost superhuman, and you have succeeded. The class of 1928 wishes to congratulate and thank you for all that you have done for us. Article V To the entire school, we leave the reputation that the class of ' 28 has made for itself. Guard it zealously. We realize that the graduation of such athletes as Hutchison. Warwick. Reid. Burwell, Johnston. Morris, and others, will leave a gap on our athletic teams that will be hard to fill, and the championships won by the class of ' 28 will be hard to hold, but our earnest prayers are that the school will follow the example set by the said class, and always push forward in the attempt for scholastic and athletic success. Article VI Last comes the things that will help them most. To the freshmen we leave the paddles and flagpole that we used effectively in welcoming you to our fair school. Although we hate to part with them, we know that you will use them on the new freshman class and that you will make them feel at borne with them. We, the Senior Class of 1928, having to the best of our knowledge placed these gifts where they rightfully belong, do in witness ther eof hereby set our hand and seal, this, the 19th day of March. 1928. Per Richard W. Simpson, Class Lawyer. ATTEST: DUNCAN CALDER, Secretary. WITNESSES: nat g, speir, Herbst Fullerton. Amelia Bruns. Page Ninety-two Article VII The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they will be accepted, not as worthless things bestowed with profusion because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart dis- played in our free and complete bestowal. 1.

Page Ninety-three Page Ninety-five Page Ninety-six Page Ninety-seven Page Ninety-eight Page Niftely-nine CLASS SONG TUNE: Sweetheart of Sigma Chi When the days have gone — Those that used to be — And you sit in the dim, sweet past, The th ings that are dear to you and me — The things that will ever last — Are those years we spent When in youth we went Through the portals of school, hand in hand, In a joyous state sang a loud, Twenty-eight! The best class of all in the land! Chorus Sweet memories of Central High, Go with us as we leave, And help us, as the times roll by, In the patterns we strive to weave. Let the echoes of these sounding halls Bring back, through the years gone by, Murm ' ring memories of the dim used to be ' s And of you, dear ole Central High. Martha Dulin. CLASS POEM A door is softly opened And we ' re passing down an aisle — Our triumphant thought is broken, And we smile a wistful smile . . . We have triumphed — yes. abundantly — There ' s reason to be glad; It hardly seems consistent that we ' re Just a little sad — But because we ' ve lived a little life Within your sounding halls — Because we ' ve learned, and sometimes laughed. Within your tutored walls — Perhaps a little finer And a little nobler grown, And surely gained an honor Heretofore we had not known — Because of all these things we say And some that can ' t be said. The thought that we ' re to go away — That this time now is sped — Brings that quick pang of sorrow As we ' re walking toward the door To step into Tomorrow From parts unbemoaned before . . . A door is softly closing — We ' re outside . . . Oh! may we find Some good of ' 28. reposing In the school we ' ve left behind. Martha Dulin, Class Poet.

Getting down to hard, consistent practicing in a few weeks, the first squad was organized, composed of fifteen girls. Their first game with Cornelius re- sulted in a defeat which only made them buckle down to more earnest en- deavors. After that game several victories, plus mishaps (the cold night at Barium Springs with the car in the mud and Perk with his little stalk of celery and ten hungry girls) .

But they needn ' t be. Electricity — the Modern Servant — has knocked the drudgery out of housework wherever it has been given an opportunity. Al- ways on tap, always a-rearing to go , electricity today is adding years of brightness and happiness to countless thousands of house- wives who have taken the trouble to find out just what electricity can do in the home. We invite attention to the quality of the electric service ren- dered in the communities served by us, and particularly to our liberal merchandising policy which, because of low prices and con- venient terms, is enabling thousands of housewives to enjoy con- veniences and comforts in a degree that would be impossible under ordinary circumstances.
