Senior Cl ass Madge Wood Pershing Lilerary Society, 21-’22. Checked for silence but never taxed for speech. Madge does not believe in wasting words on trivial sub¬ jects, hence her voice is seldom heard above the chatter of our lingual machinery, but some da,y we feel that she will be a model housewife, for her work in the Domestic Science Department has been excellent. Carroll Willis “Cliff Pershing Literary Society, 20- 22; Mystery Club, 22; President Sophomore Literary Society, 2 1 ; Assistant Busi¬ ness Manager Annual, ’22; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ' 22 . “Once a friend, always a friend. “Cliff” just entered our class this year, though he is known to everyone of us. A good record and many friends stand behind him and we feel sure that whatever he undertakes will work out for the best. We hear he’s in love, but that’s all light—-she ' s a Senior He goes to Washington and Lee next year and we wish him well. Bertie Yates “Bert” Pershing Literary Society, ’21 - ’22. “Bertie is ever faithful and true. As fine a girl as you ever fynew. Bertie, by her wonderful disposition, has inspired our class for the last two years. She leaves a good record, one of which anyone would be proud. We hear that she has chosen teaching for her life work. No need to fear about her, she will get along anywhere. Page seventeen

THE MIRROR, 1922 lenior Cl ass Helen Robertson “Hyee” Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22. She ' s pretty to wall? with, and witty to laU( with, and pleasant, too, to thinly upon. Words fail us when we try to enumerate the talents and gifts of Helen. She is the “beauty” of our class, but added to her good looks are good sense, school spirit and a lovable disposition. She is always ready for a good time, but her studies never seem to suffer from n ' g ' ect. She goes from C. C. H. S. to Hollins and we feel that we are giving that school a student of which they will ever be proud. Cooper Ponton “Choqper” Pershing Literary Society, ' 22. A head to thinly, a heart to act and a hand to execute. ' Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce our professional class entertainer! Cooper is fond of all kinds of foolishness, and always ready to take part in any mischief that comes his way. Linda Thomasson “Lindy” Pershing Literary Society, ’21-’22. Good humor and good sense must ever meet. Linda is ever smiling. She has a joke to tell everyone she meets and by her lovable disposition and attractive manner has won many friends throughout the whole school. We have heard many rumors about Linda and fear that she will not be on the “single list long, for the twin is waiting! Page sixteen

THE MIRROR, 1922 History of Class of 22 T O reflect but a glimmer of the individual and peculiar brilliancy of the Class of ’22 demands a much more polished mirror than my mind can afford, but some features are too striking to be overlooked. These, my comrades, entering C. C. H. S. in ante-bellum days, surviving during the struggle of the greatest war in history, and graduating in these reconstruction days, deserve to have fallen into the hands of a real historian. They are of different aims and different equipments, yet by Sir Isaac Newton’s great law have been drawn together to one magnetic end, graduation with honor in the Class of ’22! Our number is twenty-one, yet in the dim distant fall of 1911 only eight of the present class waited in the first grade to be assigned their places. As the years have passed others have been added, until the eleventh year four recruits brought our number to the present strength—the largest class in the history of C. C. H. S. The class has achieved much, and with pride I can say that in scholarship, in athletics and literary attainments it ranks second to no other class. There are some who may startle the world in science or mathematics, others who may become shining lights in Romance Language and some who may make new history. In athletics I feel sure there are Babe Ruths and Ty Cobbs. Who knows? I am encouraged to say this because of the wonderful records in these particular subjects in the past four years. We have not always done our best. Who does? Yet we have tried and that thought takes away any bitterness of failure and leaves only sweet memories of the many successes we have met. As grave and reverend seniors we leave the old high school, and we feel sure she bids us good-bye with a “sob in her voice and a tear in her eye.” Lila Dedmon. Page eighteen
