COONJ Into an uncultivated land there came cz Sower, Full of faith, strength, and power. There in that hard ground. guided by love, He cast his golden seed. Though his task was sometimes tiresome. Sometimes relentless. He kept on, and There. where others had failed, He, in spite of hardships. in spite of troubles, Seemed to win. Little bg little his crop blossomed forth: His land prospered. But. wonderful to sag, he did not, like a selfish man. Reap the whole harvest for himself. He turned over his fields to the reapers Who came from all the country side. And he. mighty man. stood back, modest, quiet, And watched the success of his work: This was his jog. his life. to see others benefited by his labor. Then God called to the Sower, And he departed. But left behind him his everlasting harvest, And his immortal spirit. JOHN STALLINGS. Page Sei ' Irs? XVN ' x Lmv- V ft ,, ,fm uw. 4 Q' WM-1 99: fvgvgxmuifwf 9, wg 4.4, . :Mr ,S 'mf fwX'l1'kf ,?

TAYLOR 'lm MISS PEELE?-This is she: Original Unprejudiced Recommendatory Friendly Amiable Clever Unique Learned Thorough Yse Alert Digniiied Vigorous lndustrious Serene Ethical Rigorous MISS ROGERS If you were given Miss Rogers's name and were told to put down as many ideal characteristics as her name suggests, the num- ber would be legion! But let's try a few just for fun. Begin with O - O sug- gests original: G suggests generous: E suggests enthusiastic R suggests round . No-that's not a characteristic- but it means best-all-'roundf' 1' I' X XYVMM Page Eleven Page Twelve lwll xiii' MR. TAYLOR In most cases to say that a certain party is principal would be null said. In Mr. Taylor's case, however, such a statement is not even necessary. With his sense of humor and his ever-ready spirit of cooperation he does not need a title to enforce his laws. MISS STEVENS You say you're in need of a good chaperon? Oh. well. that's easy. Miss Stevens is the one you're looking for. She's a good sport. MISS PULLEN Wilson's declaimers and debaters owe a great deal to Miss Pullen. Long will her unlimited patience and speaking ability be remembered. Dignity and quiet strength are in her bearing. High ideals and lofty aims set her apart. MRS. BOLDRIDGE You can't bluff Mrs. Boldridge. That's a cinch. But work for her honestly and dili- gently and you may look in the sunlight of a vast and benignant approval. MISS HEATH Miss I-Ieath's is a name to conjure by to her home-room section. 7-2. In fact, all of the seventh graders find her a loyal friend and patient adviser. If she has a fault. it is that of being over kind. MISS MOORE Wholly impartial and a little inclined to be stern is Miss Moore's reputation among the students in her classes. To others who meet her only casually in the halls or on the playground her bright. quick smile is her most noticeable characteristic. MISS NEWTON Miss Newton's efliciency. ability to im- part knowledge, high standard of honesty in her classes, and kindliness have im- measurably helped many a struggling com- mercial student. She cannot tolerate cheat- ing. yet shc tempers her justice with mercy. I , , o r r r X 4 Y ny' wi I. on u nhl Y v I2 3 'al Y-.7 . -1 . . H img, V . .L 4 .F. L42 . . wg' ii . . Z T .. .

Athlete. sport. and coach, he makes the boys do their stuff on diamond. gridiron. and basketball floor. His wit and jollity make him friends where ever he goes, even though he does get jokes sometimes at the expense of others, MISS TAYLOR Originality is Miss Taylor's long suit. However, hearts and diamonds have played quite a hand with her in the time she has been with us. Her peppy spirit is quite an indispensable part of our school life, and her jolly good nature makes her popular. MISS GIBSON Neat, simple. and stylish describe her clothes. Digniiied. considerate and jovial express her nature. In her quiet way Miss Gibson makes fast friends in and out of school. I-Ier accessibility and versatile effici- ency cause her sometimes to be imposed upon. MISS FUGATE Determination combined with an un- daunted spirit forms the outward impression of Miss Fugate. She remains steadfast in her purpose regardless of all opposing criti- cisms and thoughts. But under her often stern exterior she hides a very friendly and attractive personality. Miss NORMAN So thoroughly is Miss Norman absorbed in her work that few pupils outside of her own classes and certain second-floor hall- disturbers know her at all. A student here self, she inspires the diligent to worthy ac- complishment and the laggard with whole- some fear. MR. PIKE First aid to the seniors. to the principal. and to anyone else in need is Mr. Pike. His jovial manner, his sportsmanship. and his hearty spirit of cooperation make him a good fellow whom everybody likes. MISS WILEY Miss Wiley. a teacher of mathematics. has a wonderful combination of qualities. They are quietness, modesty, and efficiency. She is often called on for tasks which require accuracy. and when called on she is always glad to serve.

Our stately, well-read, experi- enced Miss Cox is possessed of an incredible amount of ability-not only in her vast Latin fields and in detective work. but in the execution of laws of discipline. MR. MCGIRT Ask Troop Four! Theyill tell you that Mr. McGirt is a friend in need, a loyal master, a good sport, an inspirer of high morals, and a handy man at all jobs. But he must have a queer complex, said one, for he has the blushes of a bride. MISS COKER Reticent darling of our hearts-Miss Coker. However far we search, we cannot find a truer friend. a sweeter companion. Shy, winsome. and loving, she steals the .hearts of all, and her talent and originality demand a place for her which her modesty fain would deny. MISS HORNE Take equal portions of talent, experience. knowledge. cleverness. neatness, attractive- ness, tact, and popularity: stir till the mix- ture attains the highest degree of refinement. To this add a sauce of wit and winsomeness. dusted with dignity for special occasions. Appropriate at all times. MRS. COON Sweet, patient Mrs. Coon has won for herself a place in the hearts of all who know her. Always sympathetic and self-sacrificing. she is entrusted with the delicate task of guiding aright the tender feet of the fresh- men, who hold her in highest esteem throughout their school career. MISS CONNOR Though a rather relentless taskmaster, especially in written theme assignments, Miss Connor lightens the load somewhat by her own enthusiasm and alertness. She is a good sport, too-as willing to accept a chal- lenge as to give one. :..E'A HI..

Page Thirty- two CLASS HISTORY In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-three, as an army of rather raw recruits, we set out to conquer the city of Graduation in the state of VVilsou. This famous city was defended by an army of Studies consisting of five divisions, known. respectively, as the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth. Tenth, and Eleventh. The first of these divisions, thanks to our wonderful generals, Coon, Candy, Kitchen, and Mays, and our captains, Anderson and Taylor, we easily conquered, though our task was not so easy as we First thought. But since we had fought and overcome our enemies with comparative ease, we emerged from the fight only a little' wiser than before. V Nevertheless, despite our carefree spirit, we proved our worth, very early developing a reputation for dependability. A few of our comrades distinguished themselves by winning Honorable Mention for bravery in action, thereby earning a coveted rest from the last attack upon the fortress. Final Exams. Throughout the whole warfare there were always some such lucky ones. One of our number, Harper Barnes, deserves special praise. Soaring high above the unsuspecting enemy in his airship Oratory, he suddenly swooped down upon them and captured a stronghold held by a battalion known as the Lions Club. In this feat Barnes received a distinguished service medal presented by the commander-in-chief himself at a public demonstration of troops, Our next battle, against the Eighth Division, was about like our first. XYith the same bold spirit we went into the fray, again emerging victorious with the loss of only a few men. Though Coon was the only one of our former generals remaining with us, the new ones, Townsend, VVhite, and I'uderwoor' proved their efficiency in directing our attack. Then, too, the inspiring efforts of our othcers cheered us on to noble accomplishments. More ant more our ability and reliability made its impression. Here, as in our first battle, certain heroes stood out, among whom Barnes again took first place. Using his airship Oratory, he met and defeated so many opponents in aerial combat that he was awarded a place on the VVilson High School debating team. By the time our second victory had been won we had heard much about the wonderful city of Graduation. lt was pictured as a city almost inconceivable in its beauty. There work was forbidden, and peace and idleness prevailed, while Exams were unheard of. Of course this beautiful conception of our goal spurred us on in our task. From then on an ever increasing desire to win led us to greater accomplishments. In our war against the Ninth Division our commanders were Underwood, Brown, Cox, Mctlirt, and Moore, Williams, and Banks. Under their wise generalship we defeated the stubborn ranks of the Ninth Division, an enemy which proved worthy of the greatest effort on our part. In spite of our valiant efforts. a few soldiers were killed or wounded, and we had to go on without them. The famous Lions' Battalion again guarded a coveted stronghold. Anderson, ambitious for honor, joined the air corps and in the monoplana Declamatiori sailed over the enemies' lines and won a complete victory. Like Barnes, he was rewarded with a Distinguished Service Medal. In the course of the struggle with the Ninth Division, Brown, who was one of our generals, decided that our army needed a band to cheer us in the fighting. Little trouble was met in finding a few eager volunteers, none of whom were skilled musicians. And finally, after hard work and patient training. Brown turned out a small band creditable to the army. The year nineteen hundred and twenty-six was the beginning' of an uphill drive that lasted for two years, continually getting harder and harder. It was here that our real struggles began. Ileretofore our enemies had given us only half-hearted resistance, but now, fighting us with all their fury, they seemed destined to destroy us. In these next two years our former enemies were aided by an enemy rising from our own ranks. This new enemy was Expenses, which harassed us through the remainder of the crusade. The most intense struggle, earnest Eghting, and careful and wise generalship were necessary finally to conquer it. In our struggle with the Tenth Division we met an army of Studies more furious than any we had encountered before. Their geanerals, seeing how closely we were pressing our goal. again and again launched attacks that well nigh downed us. But we, too, had capable leaders. The tireless etforts and unfailing courage of Boldridge, Horne, and Cox, generals of our struggling army, toot-tlier with um- own perseverance, enabled us to overcome the same onslaughts. Page Thirty, three I X' i -yn i t But with the added weight of Expenses, this year caused by the necessity of providing a banquet for the army now approaching Graduation, our fight was made doubly hard. A strenuous campaign, directed by our generals and by captains Anderson, Barnes, Bridgers, and Carroll, finally led us to victory. The combat with Expenses, though strenuous and exhausting, furnished some diversion and relief from the routine campaign to defeat the Tenth Division. The most effective attack was really a ruse which offered no little amusement to those taking part. Dressed to represent animals and performers in a. circus, they took the enemy by surprise, completely routing them. A white elephant, which we had secured to give reality to the ruse, led the procession of animals and began the rout. VVe celebrated the victory with a great banquet to which we invited the soldiers and oflicers of another army which was also engaged in capturing the city of Grad ation. u The army had other means of recreation and diversion. One of these was the VV. H. S. dramat.ic club, an organization made up of the various armies on the way to Graduation. Two- of our men won distinctive honors in this organization in the third year of our campaign Lawshe and Jones. The next year these were joined by Banks, Bridgers, Lancaster, Stallings, Harfoot, and Carroll, who proved their dramatic ability and entered the organization. After a brief rest of three 'months we again resumed our march toward Graduation. The looming spires of the beautiful city ever beckoned us onward. Our band, now somewhat diminished, started out with zeal and determination but soon realized that the final contdict was to be by far the severest of all, During this last strenuous year of our campaign, custom demanded an expensive record of all our achievements and a farewell gift to the state of Wilson High School, under whose banner all our active campaigns had been won. To raise money for these Enterprises called for great resourcefulness on the part of our generals, Peele and Rogers, much initiative from our captains, Bridgers, Batton, Taylor and Barnes, and untiring zeal and cooperation from every member of the whole army. As an encouragement to our efforts S200 of the total amount to be raised was furnished by Dr. Coon, the governor of the State of Vtlilson High, provided our gift should consist of books for the State library. Aid in the publication of the army record was given by the generous support of our friends and allies. Our early success in raising most of this money has been made possible through the leadership of our most competent generals, Pedle and Rogers, and our captains, Bridgers. Taylor, Barnes an.d Batton. Realizing that system and cooperation were necessary to raise the necessary funds, we followed the sug- gestions of our leaders upon a definite plan of campaign. Our first development of this plan was Stunt Night, which took place on November Eighteenth. nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. Here we netted a goodly sum that cheered us on our next undertaking, which happened to be the presentation of the Carolina Glee Club on the evening of November the thirtieth. The sum realized from this attraction. added to the amount already acquired and Dr. Coon's donation gave us enough to purchase the gift, despite the fact that we lost a few dollars when Kay Kyser's orchestra gave a performance at our request. The remaining funds were raised by profits from the army store and by the generous cooperation of a valued ally, Mr. E, R. Oettinger. And now as this record of our achievement goes to press we have put aside all Enterprises exceplt the all important one of breaking down the stronghold of Final Examinations by which to enter the city of Fulfilled Desire and take possession of Graduation. fs 255 Page Thirtyefour w i 1 N Page Thirty-five 3 i Page Thirty-six l 1 wi. T HFUTURITY IMPLIED flleing the l'ropln-ey of the fflass of 1928, by Kate Connor Murray? ln the historical records of the t'lass of 1928 one finds mention of the fact that Kate lfonnor Murray was elected prophet of that group of seniors on October Zl, 1927. But the history students of this and future generations will never be able to read the anguish that the election to office caused the honored prophet. lt is written on those same pages, yes, but only between the lines of other memorable historical events. So great was the mental disouietude caused by having greatness thrust upon her, that her mother, after listening to the prophetic efforts of the family for two whole weeks, threw up her hands and exclaimed, Never again shall there come a prophet to the house of Murray! Now this same girl who had been elected prophet and who was not given to prophesying wrote at least three prophecies which the class adviser refused to accept. This periodic refusal of one's literary efforts was of course enough to product' insomnia, but the prophet, being a very sleepy-headed situdenit, was lulled to sleep instead, and as she slept she dreamed: She was wandering' aimlessly down Nash Street fingering affectionately tive new pennies. As she wandered she also wondered, and the cause of her wonder was that she knew not how best to satisfy her hunger and thirst and sadness with five and only tive pennies. A hot dog would satisfy the hunger, but not the thirst: a coca-cola. the thirst, but not the hunger, and whatever course was pursued the sadness was only multipliod, for how could parting with tive pennies produce anything else! As she pondered thus, she stopped suddenly and read eagerly the sign immediately above her head: COME ON, BOYS, EACH WITH A LASSQ DRINK OF PRO-PHO FIVE CENTS A GLASS, FOR BY THIS DRAUGHT YOU'LL KNOW WHAT'S TO BE IN THE FAR OFF YEAR OF 1953. The young prophe-t's face brightened. llere was a way to forget hunger and thirst and in turn gain happiness, for was not a peep into the year 1953 worth anything, even Five pennies? llere indeed was a clue to that prophecy which heretofore had been properly written in the mind of the adviser alone. XVithout. further hesitation she entered the mysterious shop and, nonehalantly placing her tive pennies upon the smoked marble counter, requested a glass of Pro-Pho. The drink was sickeningly sweet, yet not unpleasant to the taste, so Kate, all impatient for a peep into the future years, swallowed it quickly. Nu sooner was it all gone' than the buxom looking proprietress beckoned, Follow me, and folllow Kate did with a sprightly step. The old woman swung open a door, said Help yourself to all you see, and then retired from sight. This seeker of thc happenings of the events of 1953 had never beheld so many books, papers, and magazines. And what a lovely room! Everything for the comfort of the reader. At first she was bewildered and ill at ease, but as the niinutes passed she became adjusted to the situation and began looking about for a likely place to begin. My stars! that's a big head line over there. she said, seeing a line of two-inch type before her. I believe l'll investigate. So she took the paper, seated herself in a luxurious and inviting Chesterfield, and commenced to read the future article which was headed, Kochtitzky liill Passes Senate. She hurried into the details: The billl provides for the construction and operation of apparatus for the control of atmospheric conditions along the l'nited States Airways, and is named for its illustrious author, VVilbur Kochtitzky, senior senator from Missouri. This piece of legislation has caused more partisan and interspartisan animosity than any bill that has come up since the famous BlcNary- llaugen bill of 1927. Certain members of the Evolution party, headed by Senators Stephen Daniels of Ohio and Frances Hamilton of New York, are seeking an investigation into the legality of the passage of the mesure. lt is hinted here and there by wise ones that it was the money of Mr. llranch Carr. oil magnate of Black Creek, N. C.. and Miss Gladys Boyette, Te-a Room Queen of Rock Ridge, which was responsible for the success of Kochtitzky's legislation. Mr. Ernest llatton. lawyer of 1'ine-trips. has Page Thirlu -seven r 1 wired Mr. Daniels to call on him and his partner in the firm, Miss Eugenia Bynum, for any legal advice needed. Well, well, well, sighed Kate, I know Miss Peele would have died had she ever realized that her own Wilbur, Stephen, Branch, and Ernest would ever get mixed up in a mess like that! Umph-hm, says Kate aloud, this is funny! President Bridgers is seriously handicapped during this session of Congress because his most trust-worthy cabinet members have been urged to retire to Alaska indefinitely to avoid catching the mumps--'an epidemic of which is now raging in the capital city. Jim Peacock, Ashley Futrell, and Archie Carroll have been called to VVashington by Elsie Weathersby, President Bridger's private secretary, to fill in the cabinet places left vacant by these mumps-dodgers. These gentlemen had the mumps in 19.28 when they were seniors in high school. So, owing to the workings of nature and microbes back in the twenties, Mr. Bridgers feels confident that the departments of Agriculture, War, and Interior will be in competent hands until the present epidemic subsidesf' Hal Ha! I'll bet Biill forgot old Charlie Fitzgerald. Vile were all amused when he took the mumps weeks after those other three came back to school, mused Kate. Absently she turned the pages of the paper, as her mind dwelt on the good old days, until her eyes fell on the age-old words, This Modern Generation. Partly on account of her own interest in the subject and partly to see if this generation were worse than the despised one from which she sprang, she read the article and found it as boring as the ones of her own time on the same of human, folksy, understanding current running through it, and the author VVh0 is the author? she wondered, and about that time turned the page of the article, Betty Daniel, Adviser to NYomen at U. N. C. And who which is opposed to the antics of the modern generation? Well, if it isn' would have thought that she would ever fight a kiss? Well, the class of 1928 is prominent in that paper alll right, but I subject, only there was a sort did seem to know the subject. and saw in italics at the end is it that is editing this paper t old Gretchen Farmer! Who wonder where I'll find news of the others, she thought as she got up to walk about and return her paper to the rack. Umph-hm, The Au:fral1'au. Ever since I used to read about Andy Gump and his Uncle Bim I have been interested in the island continent. Mc-thinks I' was the editor, it was Charlotte paper. There on the front page ll take a look here. To her dismay she Radicalism of Kangaroos. The had been carried on for years by found that while Harper Barnes Gartrell's money, made on ladies' ready-to-wear, that was financing the was an article by the editor entitled The Effect of Hot-'Dogs ont the news story dealt with the wonderful experiments that were being and Joseph Elliott Eagles, who has a Kangaroo Farm and a Hot-Dog Parlor near Sydney, Incidentally, Mr. Barnes called attention to the fact that by caireful and systematic breeding Mr. Eagles had greatly lengthened the reach of the Kangaroos' neck and greatly enriched the flavor of the hot dog. 'Twas quite a coincidence and interesting, too, that Harper had a double page advertisement showing statistics concerning the efficiency of a new invention by Mlle. Margaret Lawshe. The pictures of the novel invention, which was a device to prohibit children from biting their finger nails, were interesting indeed. The statistics showed that the device had proved practical, and, owing to the splendid business acumen displayed by Mlle. Lawshe's sales manager, Mr. Adrian Daniel, the nifty instrument could be purchased in Australia for the small sum of 986. Enough of Australia. sighed Kate, The class of 1928 seems to be dominating the world. Now, here is a copy of Photo Play and lo and behold, jusrt. look at this! Farce Is G.iven to The Public This VVeek. It stars jesse Aiken, the man of a thousand smiles, and Marie Hamilton, the movie fan's favorite. This picture, which was five years in the making and cost S10,000,000.00, is directed by Bessie May Brewer and is a Cecil Lamm Production. Mr. Aiken's wardrobe alone is valued at S1,000,000.00, and that of Miss Hamilton, at SZ,000,000. XYell, I'm going to see that, resolved Kate, but I wonder why they didn't star Cecil and produce Jesse. I wonder if they still have, a Daily T1.H1F.Y in VVilson. making news for the small town editor. Yes, sir, there she leaf tobacco market in the world. Nothing of interest ever page, so to it I'l1 turn. And there she found news items If so, I bet I'll find some of my class mates is, still proclaiming Wilson the largest bright appeared in this- paper except on the society galore, some of which were knockouts so far as her wants were concerned. It seems that the Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals met VVednesday aftrnoon to hear the National President, Mary Friends. The dining-room was tastily decorated with peacock feathers salad made of humming-bird hearts was served. Miss Watson moved her one occasion as she told heart-rending stories of her efforts to save the with her on the trip her pet Sparrow which developed pleurisy while here Dr. Sidney Eagles of Saratoga inserted a tube to discharge the pus from the delicate operation Dr. Eagles has been mentioned for membership in Page Thirty-eight VVa'tson, lecture on Our Bird and stuffed fowls. A delicious audience to tears on more than feathered friends. She brought and woulld have expired had not the little lungs. On account of the French Academy of Science. Dr. Eagles wishes to give due credit to Dr. Margaret Bryan, who assisted, him in the ope1ration. On this same page mention was made of the fact that Mr. Richard Bullock, Goodwill Ambassador to the metropolis of Rocky Mount, has returned to his home on West Nash Street. VVhile in Rocky Mount it was, he states, his pleasure to converse with Mr. Carl Moore, Superintendent of schools in the railroad city. Also Kate read there that Miss Mamie Ilarper, who had been making an extensive tour of the Hawaiian Islands lecturing on VK'hy Gentlemen Prefer Blondsf' expected soon to retire to Asheville to Mr. Stuart M0rrison's Sanitorium for nervous women for a rest cure of three months. Perhaps the most interesting item of all was one disclosing the fact that the latest edition of li'l1o'.v H1710 carried information concerning our fellow townswonian., Miss Annie Laurie Hudson. She had just been appointed to the chair of Eugenics at Harvard University, and, being the first woman ever to hold a professorship at this conservative institution, she was receiving congratulations from all over this and other continents. One of Miss Hudson's most prized messages was a radiogram from Mr. Edward Jones and Miss Ruth VVatson who were making a non-stop flight around the world. The message was sent when they were over Ceylon. After extending congratulations they said that they had just eaten their last ham sandwich and would hence fast until they reached New York. Seeing this mention of lVl10'.r H710 gave Kate an idea. Daily Tzfmixr, rest here a spell while I take a peep at that interesting volume. NVith all the brains possessed by the 1928ians more than Annie Laurie have surely found fame enough to get their names inscribed there. To the shelves she went and gathered to her arms the big red volume. Now whose name started with an A? Anderson, of course. So let's just see. Yes, hiere he is: Anderson, Vlfade---A. B., M. A., Dukeg Ph. D., Harvardg LL. D., Oxford, Litt, D., Berlin. Professor of Pure Geometry, Cambridge.. Author of Why Triangles I'rotrude, The Fourth Dimension and Its Relation to Cross- Multiplying, Quadrangles of Five Sides, and Easy Lessons on the Infinite. Home, London, favorite sport, football. Born April 14, 1911. Married Miss Please Marry Me. No children. Well, he sure has cleared up the mathematical world. 1 know geometry must he easy now. Let me see who in the B's has achieved fame. B-a-li, B-a-f, B-a-m, B-Zlrl'-if-O40-t, Margaret: Born, VYilson, N. C., February 1-1, 1911. A. B., Atlantic Christian College. Poet. Author of Ozlz' To .1 Hilfe'-vyvft' Boy and Other Povnzs. Favorite sport, horseback riding and racing. Traver Fariner's daddy always wanted him to be a poet. l'll just see if his dreams were realized. Yes, here he is, the poet laureate of NYilson County. And it says his favoi'ite sport is choosing his wife-'s dress goods. He always was a good boy. Ye gods, I'd rather read the Tfnztxr! XK'hy didn't some of my studious, ambitious class mates attain lVl1.0's ll l10? So hack to that society page of the Tinnxv she went, there to find that Mrs. Some-body-on Other fthe print was blurredl, nee Miss Sally Rowe Lucas formerly of VVilson. was spending a few days at her ancestral home on Vance Street. On Thursday next she and friends were to motor to her palatial home on the hanks of Toisnot Swamp. Down in the lower right hand corner of the page was a neat ad stating that spring broilers, fresh eggs. and milk could be liought at the Isle of Yiew chicken farm at Silver Lake. This farm was operated by Mrs. Romaine Clark Lancaster and hushand, VVade Lee. The feature service of the farm is the delivery wagons drawn by purebred mules, and driven by the expert drivers Sydnor Cozart. Margaret Pearce, Francis Denny, and Martha Applewhite. Mrs. Lancaster believes in the supremacy of her sex and is steadily replacing men help hy womankind. The editor evidently thought it well to state that Mr. Lancaster was in thorough sympathy with his wife's plans. Over on Ed Davis's Sport Page the Gold and Blue Sextet was prominent as in the olden days, and why not? For none other than Miss Alberta Newsome is the coach. The paper went on to state that Miss Newsome was devoting only part time to Physical Education this year, since it was found advisable to make her head of the English department in the High School. Another interesting item on this page concerned Reba VVebh, world famed rope-walker, then with the Stallings-Fitzgerald Circus, successors to Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. Yes, this circus had visited the old home town, and Miss VVebb had found time to entertain the Misery XVard of the Memorial Hospital. On learning that Miss Margaret Burden was manager of the hospital the circus management gave tickets to all the staff, and Messrs. Stallings and Fitzgerald consented to play the saxophone and do the bunny hug for those unable to attend. Well, I'm weary of these accounts of well-doing, so believe I'l1 seek diversion in the comic strips. Here's one entitled Keeping Up PVz't11 Sis.ry. It was good, too, the prophet thought, and mighty clever but it would be so, for down in the corner with a mighty flourish was the signature, Charles Daniels.

And what's this up here? At the Olympic games held in Seattle, XVashington, last week, Miss Ruth Lamm came out first in the womanfs 200 meter dash. Miss l.amm's chief competitor for first honors in the meet was Miss l.ois Lee, another native of Vvilson, Xiiss liamm heat Miss l.ee to the tape hy a scant centimeter. This race would have ended perhaps in a tie had not the world famous field judge, Mr. Rohert li. Fulghum, Jr., hy his keen sight and quick judgment made the final decision. Now there was a lost ad on the page that First caught Kate's eye, then her attention, and then her mirth and held them long and tight. lt was Lost: A pocket hook containing some small change, a few valuables and two tickets to the Musical Revue starring Dorothy Sikes and Laura Spillers. Keep the purse, valuahles, and change, hut please return the tickets to Deacon Elton Griffin hefore Monday night, as standing room in now heing sold. 'WVell, if Elton Griffin has taken to musical rexues for recreation, l think l'll return to things scientific, says the reader of the T1'u1c.r. Mi: Mctiirl used to make us read Popular ilIc't'l1u11z'r:.s' a lot, so I believe l'll see what's going on in the mechanical world now. Forthwith she lvrowsed around until she found the periodical sought and lo and hehold what do you suppose she saw right on the cover! Nothing else hut a hearded likeness of one Carlyle Lynch! Turning: the pages madly to see what the old boy had done to get there she came to a page headed Lynch Returns from the Moon. As she read, she found out that he had five years previously constructed a torpedo powerful enough, he claimed, to shoot himself to the moon. llis friends hesought him not to commit such a foolhardy act, hut in the interest of Science to which he had devoted his life and for which he was willing to sacrifice it, he shot himself forth and was not heard of again until after he had heen forgotten three years. Las-t month the citizens of the New Hope section were awakened hy a great light and a wild scream. Upon looking out of the window they heheld no other than l.yuch, himself, returned from the moon. VVhen approached hy Mrs. Frances Batts Jones, society editor of the .Vere Hojn' Kcflcrtor, as to why he returned from the moon, he replied, It was a great country in t-very respect hut one, there were no women there, so l came hack to earth. After recovering from the shock of Carlylt-'s adventure and pondering awhile, Kate realized that she had read something ahout every memhcr of her class except l.ih Banks and Dorothy Taylor. Surely, surely, such heautiful, hrainy maids as they have not sunken into ohscurity! VVhat's that poster over there? She walked over and read: Hear the Carolina tilee Cluh at the Xxvilson lligh School Auditorium Friday Night. The Glee Cluh comes to VVilson under the auspices of the Senior Class, which is endeavoring to raise 35,000 to purchase an oil portrait entitled VYilliam in Reposef' painted hy Bliss Dorothy Taylor, internationally known artist. The class is anxious to ohtain this painting since it is judged by critics to rank with Baby Sizzuirt and Jllona Lim. XYilsonians will he especially interested in hearing the Glee Cluh this year. since it is directed hy Miss lilizaheth Banks, the first woman director of a male chorus in America. Kate was growing weary, and as she turned to get another paper to read she heard some one calling. Turning so that she could hear hetter, she awoke and listened to her mother's voice saying, lf you don't get out of that hed, you'll not finish that prophecy. and the annual will he late going to press! tf'ZNlf?v Page Forty l THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1928, grateful to our almighty superintendent, principal. and teachers for their loving kindness and tender mercy. realizing that our days in this rectangular realm of education are limited and that soon we shall depart into the great unknown spaces where we will be free from rules and regulations, do make and declare our Last Will and Testament. We acknowledge this day that while we are not in full possession of sound mind, memory, and understanding-due in part to the joy of having rounded out the nrst stage of our intellectual development. in part to the agony of saying good-bye to the said realm of education, and in part to the four years of toil spent in winning a passport to higher realms. yet we have enough mind, memory, and understanding with us to declare this the only authorized instrument left by us. Mrs. Charles L. Coon, known far and wide for her absolute integrity. is the one whom we deem worthy of carrying out our last wishes: we therefore appoint her sole executor. 1.

CLASS OE TWENTY-EIGHT. CSeall ANNIE LAURIE HUDSON. WITNESSES: Testator. MISS HORNE. GEORGE WAINWRIGHT. Page F any-two THE SENIUR GIFT Following the worthy precedent of the class of twenty-seven, the seniors decided to select their class gift at the beginning of the school year. Immedi- ately after the election of class officers the most interesting question became, What shall we give? A number of suggestions were made both in and out of the class. Some of the boys, supported by not a few girls, wanted to lay out and equip a series of tennis courts for school use. Many students were in favor of accepting Mrs. Spiers's suggestion that we choose a valuable piece of statuary or possibly an oil painting of Mr. Coon. This suggestion was made more attractive by Mrs. Spierss assurance that Mrs. Arrington, the chief inspirer of last year's project, would go halves with the class in raising the money for either the statuary or the painting. This proposal would, no doubt. have won unanimous support, had not Mr. Coon himself made the class a proposition: that of supplying 25200 to be added to S300 raised by the class for the purchase of five hundred dollars' worth of books for the school library. The keenly and universally felt need of the library, together with Mr. Coon's enthusiasm for the project, appealed strongly to the majority of the class, and a gift of books was decided upon. The next question was how to select the books. The following plan was finally adopted: Each department head was asked to submit a list of reference books needed in that department, and each English teacher was asked to submit a list of books for supplementary reading suitable for some grade, one grade being assigned to each teacher. Students and teachers wishing to make recom- mendations for the supplementary reading lists were asked to submit these to the English teachers having these lists in charge. Miss Horne, director of dramatics, asked and was granted the privilege of submitting a set of reference books for the dramatic club. Mr. Coon himself asked and was granted the privilege of going over the completed lists and making substitutions where he thought best. The book list was submitted to Mr. Coon just before Thanks- giving. As he was at that time suffering from the illness which caused his death, he did not quite complete his recommendations before school closed for the Christmas holidays. As this left a small sum not disposed of, it was de- cided, at Mr. Taylor's suggestion, that this fund be used to install in the library a system for charging books. l-leretofore books could not be taken from the library for more than one night: under the new charging system books may be taken out for one or two weeks according to the nature of the books. Next we had to consider ways in which we could raise our three hundred dollars to add to Mr. Coon's offer. The first means was the annual stunt night program. This year we had a record breaking crowd, most of the credit for which is due the publicity committee, of which Harper Barnes was chairman and Page Forty-three Miss Rogers faculty member. They saw to it that posters were put in all the store windows, ran write-ups in the daily paper, and offered prizes to the first class reporting one hundred per cent purchase of tickets. The class of 1927 made such a success of sponsoring the Carolina Glee Club that we decided to sponsor it this year. Again the publicity committee got together on advertising this undertaking, and did such good work that the result was eighty dollars added tothe class treasury. Our third project was sponsoring Kay Kayser's orchestra. l-land bills were sent to every home in Wilson: talks were made in chapel, and in the county schools: posters were placed in every store window in the business section, and a banner was stretched across the busiest corner in the town with an attractive advertisement printed on it. Then after all our advertising, we found out that the orchestra had also signed a dance contract for the same night. As this would draw many of the boys and girls away from our crowd, we were in a serious situation. Nevertheless. we put on a brave front, and the curtain rose before a very good crowd, considering the competition. On this entertainment in view of the competing dance and cold. rainy weather, we were thankful to come out with only a twenty dollar deficit. In the meantime. the senior store, under the elhcient managership of Ernest Batton, had been doing good business, so good that before the close of school for the Christmas holidays the class treasurer had made out a check for the entire S3300 and given it to Mr. Coon, duly authorizing him to purchase the class gift. that the school might as soon as possible enjoy the new books. Al- though Mr. Coon did not himself order the books as we had planned, the class will always be proud to remember that we were able to give into his hands before his death a check for the full amount of our part of the purchase price and that we got the book list completed in time to receive his approval. Now, as we go to press, the books are all here, and Miss Coker is as rapid- ly as possible putting them on the library shelves under the new charging system which we are so glad to have installed. And we hope that before commence- ment, when our gift is formally presented, that many of our books may show the signs of use. 1. , C: fZ'i2ihT3 esws Page Forty- four I. 1 '. v E f X .9 E7 .

EDWIN WINSTEAD, CECIL WOOTEPJ HOWARD JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES The Junior class of l9Z8 does not deserve the usual sobriquet of Jolly, but may, on the other hand, claim the name of joyful. The sudden death of Dr. Charles L. Coon, superintendent of schools, cast a pall of gloom over the entire school, and took away the desire of the class to engage in the usual rounds of jollity at the customary Junior-Senior banquet, but left them still anxious, in a sober way, to show their affection for the Senior class. The idea was suggested of giving a scholarship to some worthy Senior and of naming this scholarship the Charles Is. Coon Memorial Scholar- ship. The class was delighted to have this opportunity to show in some small degree their great respect and devotion for Mr. Coon. They not only decided to give up the banquet and promote a scholar- ship, but also asked the Senior class to share in the honor by stamp- ing their action with the seal of their approval. The Senior class concurred heartily. The Juniors decided to raise enough funds to make a year at college possible for the Senior winning the scholarship. So they undertook several vaudevilles, of a very extraordinary nature, for at one they actually put on the great Dempsey-Tunney fight: and at another, one of Edison's great inventions was on display. The boys gave the girls many hints about becoming beautiful when they produced their womanless wedding, an attraction that drew a mam- moth audience. So, by devious ways, the class has raised the funds, and has thus given joy to some fellow pupil, and so doing, has become in turn, not jolly, but joyful, over the pleasure of giving real pleasure to others. Page FOI'fll-I7l'!'1 THE WOMANLESS WEDDING Of widespread interest to a large circle of friends and marked by great beauty was the wedding of Miss Lancaster to Mr. Richard Bullock. which took place at eleven o'clock Wednesday morning in the auditorium of the Charles L. Coon High School. The ceremony united two members of the most outstanding classes of the school. The auditorium was tastefully deco, rated with spring flowers and greenery. Prior to the entrance of the bridal party Miss Fatima Langley rendered I Love You Truly in her beautiful soprano voice. She was accompanied by Miss Adrian Daniel on the piano. Miss Langley wore a grey gown trimmed in roses and carried accessories to match. Miss Daniel was lovely in billowy nile green. The first to enter were the petite flower girls. Misses John Adams. Floyd Bell. Joe Can- non, and Martin Basemore, who formed an interesting ensemble in dainty frocks of variegated organdy with head-bands of silver dotted with seed pearls. They carried baskets filled with artificial roses lent by friends of the bride, The bridesmaids. Misses Jimmie Collins. Parry Thompson. Jules Forbes. and Henry Ben- ton. came in singly wearing picturesque period gowns. They were followed by Mrs. Joe Powell. dame of honor, in a lovely gown of blue crepe made on copious lines. Little Miss Bill Daniels in a knee-length frock of flesh colored net with slippers and sox to match next entered bearing the ring on a white satin cushion. The entrance of the bride. who came in on the arm of her father. Mr. Fike. formed a climax to this interesting spectacle. She was met upon the rostrum by the groom. who was accompanied by his best man. Mr. Jack Forbes. The im- pressive ceremony was performed by Dr. William Batts. The bride, a lovely young girl of wide-spread popularity. presented an exquisite picture in her veil of white tulle. Her natural beauty was set off by the simple elegance of her gown. The wedding dress was made of crepe back satin and trimmed in rose point lace. Her bouquet was a cluster of white roses surrounded by lilies of the valley. Immediately after the ceremony an enthusiastic reception was given in honor of the bride, after which the happy couple adjourned to their classes.

This sets a high goal. but we realize one must hitch his wagon to a star. Our next greatest problem is wondering what the high school will need when we get to be seniors. The foregoing senior classes have so indelibly left their stamp upon the high school that the memory of their gifts stands as an inspiration to the classes below them. In our own little way we have already blossomed forth as ticket sellers. having won the prize offered for selling the most tickets for Stunt Night and the Carolina Glee Club. This has helped our treasury and makes us feel like Hnanciers. To keep ever before us our ideal of climbing to higher goals we have adopted as our motto: Onward and Upward. iizliki llfilfffv Page Fifty-four llll 'xblbw' .l - lu.

The squad was not only the largest that had ever turned out for any athletic sport, but its spirit was about the best in the history of the Charles L. Coon High School. The spirit of the whole school was better than ever before, and the support that was given the team by the school and the peoplelof the town was a big factor in our great season. Much credit is due Coach McWherter for his great patience and hard work with the whole squad. From the beginning the men were put through hard and lengthy practices that ended only with the arrival of darkness. With such veterans as Ollin Winstead, Ellis Eysal, Wade Lan- caster, Zeke Cozart, Joe Eagles, John Adams, Louis Mattox, and with the great amount of new material to select from. a good team was practically assured. Though the number of candidates dwindled considerably before the opening game, the best material 'Astuck it out, and from this crew Coach McWherter was able to organize a team that played a brand of ball seldom seen in high school competition. In the opening game of the season with Washington the Blue and Gold. aided by home runs by Adams and Mattox, scored a 4 to l victory. This was the first varsity athletic contest played on the high school athletic field. In the next game Wilson avenged last year's costly defeat at the hands of Clayton, 1926 State Champions. by a 3 to Z win. In the return game Tiny lVlcWherter's charges again proved their superiority over the Clayton nine by a 9 to 7 victory. The next game was with our ancient rival, Goldsboro, and after a hard-fought battle Wilson finally emerged victorious, 3 to 2. The team next journeyed over to Warsaw. and for the first time of the year Wilson was forced to accept the short end of a 5 to 6 score. In the last scheduled game of the season Wilson lost to Greenville in a close contest, the absence of several regulars proving very costly. Having defeated several of the strongest teams in the State, both the team and its many supporters looked forward with great hope to the coming State Championship Series. QQ BASEBALL SQUAD WINSTEAD.

WILLIAM TILGHMAN, BILLIE LEACI-I, ROBERT Page Sfxt u-three l THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES In the hrst game of the championship series, Wilson met Snow Hill and scored an over- whelming victory. the score standing Z4 to Z when the game ended. The contest was featured by the hard-hitting of the entire Wilson team, Though the game was not very exciting, it gave the team and its many supporters rising hope and confidence. The next victim of the Blue and Ciold attack was Goldsboro, which was easily defeated by the one-sided score of 20 to l, the heavy artillery of the locals completely shattering the enemy's defense. For the next game Wilson invaded the camp of the strong Hertford team and succeeded in winning by a 5 to O score. W. H. S. scored several runs in the early innings and after that the result was never in doubt. The bright lights were the pitching of Ollin Winstead, who allowed only one hit and struck Ollt a large number of the Hertford players. and the heavy hitting of Ellis Eysal. This victory enabled Wilson to play Oxford at Wake Iiorest in the Eastern semi-finals. The outcome was a decisive victory for the Blue and Gold. the score being 8 to O. While Winstead, backed by an air-tight defense. was holding Oxford at bay. the heavy bats ot his :omrades were pushing across the winning tallies, which resulted chiefly from the hits of Mattox. lfysal. and XVinstead himself. The outcome of the Wilson-Oxford game gave our team the right to play in the eastern Hnals at the State College. With the true Charles l-. Coon High School spirit the team met Vkfhiteville. determined to win a victory for their school and supporters. The game was one of the most exciting and closely-fought contests ever witnessed in high school baseball. and Wilson triumphed over the Whiteville nine with a glorious and well-earned victory. thus making our team the champions of Eastern North Carolina. Winstead bested his opponent in a great pitching duel with the assistance of the airetight nelding of the whole team. Whiteville broke the scoring ice in the seventh inning when they pushed across one run. In the next inning the charges of Coach McWherter rallied and sent two runs across the plate on a base on balls. a single by .Ioe C. Eagles. and a double by l.ancaster. In the next inning Mattox tripled and then scored on an error. The offensive drive against Whiteville was led by Mattox. Adams. Lancaster, and Joe C. Eagles. Wilson. having won the Eastern Championship. next met WinstoneSalem. the Western champions, at Chapel Hill to decide the championship of North Carolina. Though the game was hotly contested. we were defeated by the Twin-City boys. 6 to 2. in a heart-breaking fight in which errors cost us the title. none of Winston-Salem's runs being earned. Our opponent went into an early lead by scoring in the second inning and again in the fourth. For several innings the Blue and Gold boys were held scoreless. but in the fifth Winstead hit a smashing triple with Cozart on base to bring in the first score. In the seventh inning. after Cozart had been hit by a pitched ball. Winstead again duplicated his former feat by hitting another triple. giving Wilson her last run. Though Wilson did not win the State Championship. we did win the Eastern title. and our season was one of the most successful that any Charles I.. Coon HQh School athletic team has ever experienced. Page .S'r'xty-four li 1 It '-l 1 FOOTBALL, '27 When Coach Tiny McVVherter issued his call to the '27 gridiron warriors, there was noticeable in those who reported a lack of size and weight. However, this handicap was overcome by the splendid fighting spirit which they showed throughout the entire season. This year's team was composed largely of seniors, some of whom had stuck it out on the squad for several years, unable to make the varsity on account of lack of weight. This group deserves a special tribute for remaining eligible the entire season and filling gaps left by ineligibility of others. The graduation of last year's seniors left gaping holes in the line and greatly weakened the backficld, but these holes were filled and the backfield strengthened by last year's subs, the plucky liglitweightsf' The brightest lights of the varsity backfield were Captain Lancaster, Adams, the triple-threat junior, Bridgers, Kannan, and J. Peacock. In the line the steady and dependable work of D. Peacock, Carroll, Cozart, Kochtitzky, and Powell was worthy of merit. The Blue and Gold, in their opening game with Tarboro High, started off the season in a mad rush by piling up an overwhelming score of 33-O on their opponents. The fighting Tarboro team were game until the last, but were unable to withstand the powerful charges of Joe Kannan, or to impede the progress of VVade Lancaster and John Adams. who tore through their line at will, clipping off yard after yard for their victorious team. The second game of the season with our oldest rival, Goldsboro, was indeed a battle in every stage. Opening the game with a powerful offensive that drove the heavier team back before them, the Charles L. Coon High forced across a touchdown in the first quarter. John Adams, the fieet-footed back of the Blue and Gold, was the star in this contest. Returning punt after punt, consistently gaining, Adams kept his team- mates within scoring distance of the enemy's goal. The combat finally ended in a 19-6 victory for the Charles L. Coon High School. Fresh from the Goldsboro game the Blue and Gold proved themselves irresistible in the clash with Kinston. VVade Lancaster, Joe Kannan, and Sydnor Cozart were largely responsible for the .10-0 victory. The VN'ilson team met the strong Greenville eleven, determined not to mar their increasing string of victories and were successful by the slight margin of three points, which were scored after Captain Lancaster kicked a most beautiful field goal. The features of the game were the playing of D. Peacock and Larry Dew in the line, and that of John Adams and XVade Lancaster in the backfield. The game with Ayden, played in that town, was a struggle from beginning to end. Both teams played with all their skill, but neither was able to score. Although the game ended in a 0-0 tie, the ball was played in Ayden's territory more than half the time. In this game Bill Langley, Albert Privette. and Sydnor Cozart were the men about whom the game revolved. A real test of the team's grit and determination took place on the VVilson gridiron against the strong Roanoke Rapids eleven. The Blue and Gold had their backs to the wall because some of the regular varsity men were ineligible. Nevertheless, these gaps were filled by players whose ability hitherto was quite unknown. VVilbur Kochtitzky, Bill Bridgers, and Arthur Carroll in this contest looked like All- American material. Having been defeated by the same team the previous seven years and wishing to keep their slate clean, the Wilson team played the best game of the year. After a titanic struggle, for which evei'y man on the team deserves special praise and honor, we gained a victory by the score of S-O. In the last encounternof the season the team journeyed to New Bern and handed that town a 20-0 drubbing. Again the team worked as a unit and all the players and squad deserve credit for the victory. Adams and Lancaster together with Cozart and Kochtitzky stood out above the rest in the last game of the '27 season. During their season the Blue and Gold team played seven games. Six were won and the other ended in a scoreless tie. A total of 114 points was made against 12 made by all their opponents. From the first whistle that opened the year until the last echo of the final one had died away, this season of Charles L. Coon High School football has been the most glorious and outstanding of all previous years.

This year brought out a new feature in North Carolina basketball. This section was organized into the North Eastern Conference for all class A high schools. In former years the Blue and Gold machine has been built around stars, but this year's team was entirely different. Coach Tiny McWherter worked tirelessly to perfect a machine that would run smoothly. The game of basketball that this team played was a five-man game, and every man had a share in the victory. Unity was a great element in all of their success. After several weeks of good. hard practice the lads were tuned up for the opening encounter with New Bern. New Bern notified us that they would be 'unable to play the game, so the first win recorded was a 2-0 forfeit. Greenville was the next foe to fall before the onslaught of the Blue and Gold warriors. John Adams. Sam Agnew. and Joe Powell leading the McXVherterites to a 35-25 victory. In the Kinston game John Adams, the pivot man, ran wild and practically doubled the opponents' score singlehanded. His teammates also played a great game. The final score was 37-11 in favor of the Blue and Gold. Scotland Neck proved an easy foe on the Rich Square court. They seemed unable even to penetrate the defense of Powell and Agnew, while Adams. Bridgers, and Ifutrell checked off goals in their usual manner, winning the game by a score of 50-14, One of the most worthy foes of the conference was the Roanoke Rapids High. The team was composed of long. rangy men. playing hard, clean basketball. but the passwork of the Blue and Gold proved too much for them. The playing of Adams, Forbes, and Powell featured this contest. The score of 14-8 shows the remarkable defense of both teams. Goldsboro put up a good, stiff opposition in the next game, holding the locals down to a two-point lead in the first half. However the Blue and Gold machine ran wild in the second half, ending the game in fine style with the score 28-14. New Bern, who had forfeited the first battle to Wilson. did not make an especially good showing in the second and was vanquished by the Charles I-. Coon High machine 22-13, The Blue and Gold next journeyed over to Greenville and. though they put up a hard fight, they were vanquished by a score of 13-15. This was one of the most spectacular games of the season. the score being deadlocked time and again. Rocky Mount sprang one of the biggest surprises of the season by defeating Washington, at that time the Conference leader. This placed Wilson and Washington on top of the Con- ference. deadlocked for the lead. The McVv'herterites then went over to Rocky Mount and handed that team a 19-10 defeat in a fast game. Kinston was again given a severe drubbing on the local court by a 42-13 score. Scotland Neck proved the easiest victim of the season when the Blue and Gold warriors overwhelmed them by a 45-4 victory. In this game the work of substitutes Lancaster, Anderson. Vick. and Kochtitzky was noteworthy. The last two games with Rocky Mount and Roanoke Rapids were considered the crucial games of the season. Both of these games were captured in masterly fashion by scores of 19-10 and 22-14. respectively. A 43-10 win over Goldsboro clinched the Conference title for Wilsonf The aspirations of the Blue and Gold warriors for State Championship were disappointed when they were defeated in a hard struggle by a tall, strong team from Ramseur High. This year's team placed three men on the mythical team picked by the various coaches of the Conference. John Adams tat center5 was made captain. while Joe Powell and Sam Agnew were named for guards. The Blue and Gold outfit. champions of the Northeastern Conference, received at Green- ville a life-size silver basketball as a reward for their hard struggles to make a name in the basketball world for the Blue and Gold.

ZH r, . The first call for basketball was soundedi in November. The response promised a great season. However, most of the material was new, the old team having graduated or dropped out. Stiff workouts followed, the new material being broken in. At last the lassies were ready for the first game of the season. This contest was staged against Rocky Mount the r,ival's court. It resulted in our girls being overpowered by tour points, tue score being 26-22 in R y.'Mount s favor. Although the loss of the first me- of the season was a hard blow, the girls played up in better form to meet the Kinston girls. This, a h rd fraught game, away from, home, resulted in a 37-77 victory for Wilson, owing to the determination with which' our girls played. The following week the fair tossers'encountered Fremont on the Fremont court. Despite the handicap of the court they stored a 28-12 victory over the Fremont team. The first home game of the season was played with the strong Vt'ashington team. Here, the VVilson girls met a stronger foe and were conquered by a 47-15 victory for our visitors. Next came a decided victory over the Lucama team. C. I.. C. H. S. played well, running up a 20-11 score. Again the Blue and Gold lassies met Fremont, this time on the home court. Excellent team work resulted in a Z5-4 victory for VVilson. At last, the foe of former years, lXIagnolia, came to battle the local tossers. Outclassed in the first half by a large number of points, our girls 1'allied in the last half, bringing the score up: however, the Magnolia team won the game by a 48-20 result. Having been beaten by the XVashiIIgtoI1 team in a former game, our girls went to VVashington determined to fight with all their strength to bring up the score of the season. The Wilson girls lost, but only by we had played with the best that was in us. This battle, this one being 41-35. VVilson met Tarboro on the opposing court. The in their favor. This was one of the hardest fought games a o-point margin. VVe were comforted by the fact that score was a great improvement over the first xV8.Sl1lI1gl2OIl game, despite handicaps, caused by the court and weather, was a decided victory for VVilson, the score being 40-19. The next game, F111 unexpected one, was called with Elizabeth City. The locals played a stellar game, the victory being caged 35-25. On the following night a regularly scheduled game was encountered upon the local court with the New Bern lassies. Again the VVilson girls came off victorious with a score of 37-28. Then came the most exciting game of the season. Rocky Mount, a form'-r vanquisher, was met on the local court. Having been beaten by only four points in the former game, the Blue and Gold trounceI's fought with a determination to win. This'they did, carrying off honors with a 411-41 score. The team journeyed to Magnolia. The locals suffered a setback in the first halfg however, in the third quarter, the locals staged a brilliant comeback, holding Magnolia to a pointless score. The final score resulted Ill a 44-Z9 victory for Magnolia. The final game before the Champion-1hip series was played with Tarboro on the VVilson court. Again Wilsoii overwhelmingly defeated the visiting team, the score being 51-20. Here the Championship series began. By a process of elimination tlIe contest was narrowed to four teams. At the conference held for this purpose it was decided to match Lueama against Goldsboro in VVilson, aIId Four Oaks against Vt'ilson in Goldsboro. Goldsboro defeated Lucama, and VVilson tied Four Oaks. In a game played to break the tie VVilson defeated Four Oaks with a Z9-Z0 score. Last. brit by no means least, came the final Championship game with Goldsboro in Kinston. Both teams started off determined to win. The teams, being quarter. Then the Blue and Gold lassies showed evenly matched, held each other checked until the last their superiority by surpassing Goldsboro with a 43-Z8 victory. Thus 1Vilson won the District H championship for which they had worked so hard.

The purpose of the awards. known heretofore as the Churchwell trophies. has been to stimulate scholarship. leadership, and athletic prowess. Beginning this year the boys' cup will become the Elizabeth Coolce Wain- wright Memorial Cup, while the girls' will continue under the name. the Churchwell Trophy. The cups will be awarded this year and in the future on much the same basis as in the past. the main differences being tlh that the awards will be made to seniors on the basis of a four-year record: CU that other extra-curricular activities will be given as much consideration as athletics: 433 that the main purpose of the award will be to stimulate character as exemplified in the life of Miss Elizabeth Cooke Vvlainwright. in whose memory the boys' cup is henceforth to be given. The new basis of award may be stated thus: These trophies are to be presented on commencement night to that boy and that girl in the senior class of the Charles l.. Coon High School who throughout their high school days have shown by achievement in the classroom, participation in extra-curricular activities, and conduct both in and out of school that they are best fitted to assume the responsibilities of citizenship. The cups selected for this year's award are of more value and of greater beauty of design than any before presented. and it is Mrs. Chttrchwell's plan to have the cups presented in the future of exactly the same style and value. That the presentation of the trophies may be of the greatest possible significance. they will this year and in the future be presented by the citizen of Wilson who. in the judgment of a com- mittee of church and community leaders chosen by Mrs. Churchwell. has made the most note- worthy contribution that year to the uplift of the community. Page Seventy-four A life XXV' ELIZABETH COOKE WAINWRIGHT In renaming one of the loving cups, formerly known as the Churchwell trophies, Mrs. Churchwell honors the memory of Miss Elizabeth Cooke Wainwright, her schoolmate. lifelong friend, and associate in business, whose character she hopes to perpetuate in the lives of the future citizens of Wilson. Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. says James Lane Allen. lt is the greatest quality of man next to honor. Miss Bettie, as she was affectionately known to her many friends in Wilson. possessed both honor and courage. and a third trait without which neither of these reaches its full value-kindliness or capacity for friendship. Miss Bettie was in truth a friend to all, especially to the struggling younger people with whom she came in contact. Her honor could not be questioned, for she proved her integrity in all her social, religious, and business activities throughout her life. Courage, however. was her predominating characteristic. Courageously she lived: more cour- ageously she died. It was the courage with which she faced death that stamped indeliby on our minds the picture of this merry. buoyant. optimistic woman who was in life and in death a real sport. a genuine good fellow. What more could a town ask of a prospective citizen than that he possess these traits- honor, courage, optimism, friendliness. helpfulness. true sportsmanship, and both willingness and ability to participate in every worthwhile community project? Page Seven I if - Hue MARY PRIVETTE CHURCHWELL lt is altogether fitting that one of the loving cups presented at commencement for the pur- pose of stimulating noble character and worthy ideals of citizenship should continue to bear the name of Churchwell. For, whenever a project in Wilson is to be developed, Mrs. Churchwell assumes a large share of responsibility. Besides her generosity to the high school in all of its worthy undertakings. she supports the Salvation Army, the American Legion, the Baptist Church, the Business and Professional Women's Club, and everything else, in the same whole- hearted way. And, although she is a mere woman. with all of a woman's interests and activities, she is man enough successfully to run The Quality Shop besides. Certainly her energy, her industry, her courage, and her kindness are qualities of character and citizenship that high school girls will do well to cultivate. To her the high school owes much of its improvement from year to year in Uesprit de corps. The trophies which she presents are not only in themselves lovely and valuable to possess, but they inspire worthy conduct and noble ideals in all who strive for them. Only two students may carry away the cups at commencement. but scores of them. because of these trophies, carry away finer characters and higher ideals. Page SCL't'I7lLf'Sli.Y . llll XXVINQN F. DECLAMATION There is no field of endeavor more worthy of attention or of more vital interest to pupils and school than that of declamation. In this field Wilson has won for herself a place of distinction this year as well as in previous years. Our first work along this line was a preliminary contest in which boys only competed for the right to represent the school in the state contest at Duke University. On February the tenth, Elmer Oettinger, the winner of this contest, met at Duke University the other forty-five declaimers of the state and was one of the eight selected for the finals. Though he did not win out in Durham, Elmer's delivery, poise, and enunciation received the praise of many well known speakers of the audience. At a later date Elmer will also represent us in declamation at Wake Forest. On February the iifteenth a preliminary contest was held in which alli boys and girls who had not previously won the Lion's Club medal could compete for the school championship and Lion's Club medal. The three best speakers were chosen-Marshall Lamm, Josephine Oettinger. and Joe Overman. Joe, who won out in the final contest, will be awarded the medal at commencement. A county contest. one for girls and one for boys, was held in which the Charles L. Coon High School was represented by Frances Ware and Joe Overman. Again Joe was victorious. At this time Ruth Watson represented the school in the News and Observer Oratorical Contest. Page Seventy-seven R 'U 'V L A ... lm IMD THE SEVENTH GRADE DEBATES Near the beginning of the year some of the seventh grade students showed such a keen interest in debating that it was decided to arrange a contest among the various sections of the class. For several weeks oral theme days were given over to debating, in order to determine who were the best speakers in each section. When these had been chosen, a series of intersection debates was arranged. The Hrst of these was between 7-4. represented by Agnes Downing and Golden Keller, and 7-5, represented by Margaret Lewis and O. P. Dickinson. on the query. Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished. Margaret and O. PM upholding the afhrmative, won the decision. The next debate was between 7-l, represented by Katherine Bishop and Bill Daniel, and 7-2, represented by Gretchen VJilliams and Katherine Bell, on the query, 'iResolved. That some system of self-government should be established in Charles L. Coon High School. Katherine and Gretchen won the decision for the affirmative. Next, Margaret Lewis and O. P. Dickinson. winners in the 7-4 vs. 7-5 contest, debated against 7-3. represented by John Dildy and Jack Reynolds, on the query, Resolved, That the United States should give immediate independence to the Philippines. This debate, one of the most spirited in the series. was won by John and Jack. who upheld the negative. On Tuesday, February 28, a final debate between the winners in the two preceding contests was held in chapel. Martha Cheatham of 7-Z and Francis McKagen of 7-3 presiding. In this contest John Dildy and Jack Reynolds upheld the affirmative and Gretchen Williams and Kath- erine Bell the negative of the query, Resolved, That exemptions from examinations should be abolished in Charles L. Coon High School, The decision was in favor of the negative. Thus Katherine and Gretchen won the grade championship for 7-2. Page Seventy - eight THE TRIANGULAR DEBATE True to Wilson tradition, the 1927 debating team, represented by Hannah Moore and Harry Finch. went to the Iinals in the State contest. In that contest Wilson. supporting the negative of the query, Resolved, That Congress should enact the Curtis-Reed bill, providing for a federal department of education, lost to Greensboro. Though defeated in this debate. Wilson had saved her reputation of never going to Chapel Hill without reaching the finals. and this in spite of the fact that a few days before the State contest. Ernest Staples, second speaker of the negative. had to undergo an operation and Harry Finch in that short time had to prepare to take his place. Our aflirmative speakers. Frances Ware and Eugene Spivey, pushed through to the semi-nnals and there pressed Greensboro hard for the right to debate in Memorial Hall. This year work on the preliminaries started shortly after the Christmas holidays under the direction of Miss Peele, as Mr. Taylor, the regular coach, was in the hospital recovering from an operation. Three teams of four speakers each. each team debating on a query of its own choosing. met in the library on Friday night, January 23, to try for representation on the school team. In a close and spirited contest. Harper Barnes. John Stallings, Frances Ware. and Hannah Moore were chosen as principals. and Margaret Burden and Jesse Aiken as alternates. Miss Horne. Mrs. Coon. and Mr. Barclay being the judges. Since the preliminaries Mr. Taylor has taken charge of the work in training the speakers. Hannah and Frances are to support the affirmative. and Harper and John the negative, of this year's query, Resolved, That Congress should enact the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. As all of these speakers except John are veteran debaters and as John may be' relied upon to carry out well any enterprise that he under- takes, the school is well represented indeed in the 1928 debates. As usual. Wilson is to be placed in a triangle with Goldsboro and Kinston. two worthy and ambitious rivals. May the best team win and may that team be Wilson! Page Sevenrqfnfne 1 fi f ,.

S. intact. Every one realized the necessity of increasing this number. but just how to do it was the problem. Those who entered as recruits must not be too green. They must have within them some spark of the genius that develops great dramatists. The following plan for admitting new members was decided upon. On October 20, 1927, try-outs were to be held at which those in the school interested in making the club might show their ability by reading some short selection. Judges chose the best from among those trying out. and they automatically became the new members, provided their scholarship was satisfactory. As soon as possible, a meeting of the club was called for the purpose of electing oflicers. Miss Horne, our director, acted as chairman until the President had been elected. Page Eighty A committee met with the director the week following this meeting. and it was decided to divide the club into five circles, each of which would conduct a special meeting at least once during the year. The first group presented a short one-act play entitled Not Quite Such a Goose. The teachers and the Junior and Senior classes were invited to attend this meeting. On December 22, the club presented two one-act Christmas plays. Dne was a Biblical play: the other was a modern Christmas play. This enterprise proved to be a great success. In January the club presented The Caprice of Dolly in an amateur theatrical contest at the Wilson Theater and won first prize. On January the eighteenth the try-outs for places in the State Competition play were held. The play chosen to represent our school was: 'AThe Violin Maker of Cremona by Francois Coppee. Twenty-five students tried for these parts, Finally the following cast was chosen: GIANINA tithe daughterj ,.... i . .Margaret Barfoot TADEO FERRARI lthe fatherp , , John Stallings SANDRO fthe loverj ....... ...... E d. Jones FILLIPO fthe hunchbackj , , . , . .Elmer Oettinger After weeks of hard work the play was ready to participate in the first preliminaries of the contest. The exceptional talent of our cast made hopes run high. The night of March the fourteenth arrived, and the players threw them- selves into the spirit of the play so entirely that Wilson won by a vote of Z to l over their rival, Spring Hope. who staged 'AThe Knave of Hearts. written by Louise Saunders. Owing to the kind cooperation of the A'Spier's China Shop and Allen and Worley Furniture Store. we were able to make the setting quite Italian by the use of carved furniture and Italian bric-a-brac. The lovely costumes, made by the Home Economics department, harmo- nized most effectively with such a background. On March 22 and 30 we won over Durham and Fayetteville. respectively, thus winning the right to go to Chapel Hill as Eastern Champions. There we lost to the Alexander Graham High School of Charlotte, with their play, The Valiant. Paqe Fiqhtu on 1 ' L THE ALBERT OETTINGER MEMORIAL ESSAY CONTEST The Albert Oettinger Memorial Essay contest is gradually taking its place among the traditions of the Wilson High School. Annually since 1925 a handsome medal has been offered by Oettinger's, The Dependable Store, for the best original essay on certain aspects of retail merchandising, in memory of Mr. Albert Oettinger, who was an alumnus of this institution and a prominent citizen of the community. lt seems appropriate here to give a brief sketch of Mr. Oettinger. As a school boy he was outstanding for his moral character, scholastic records, and social relations. Among his fellow students. teachers, and out-of- school friends and acquaintances he was pointed out as a boy of sterling char- acter. unusual ability. and high ideals. A student of superior intelligence, perseverance, and thoroughness, he was recognized as a leader in his class and in school projects. Always courteous, smiling, and tactful. he had a host of friends. When his school days were over, in the community, as in school, he t-ook his place among those who ever stand for civic improvement and for the welfare of others: worthy public projects always had his support. As a busi- ness man he also took his place among the best, proving himself a great asset to the firm with which he was connected. ln 1924 he died, a young and pros- perous citizen. The memorial medal is offered for the best original essay on an assigned topic-a subject which is intended to interest the students more seriously in the problems. benefits, advantages, and disadvantages of the retail merchants of his community. This is not an advertising scheme: in fact, a mention of Oettin- ger's store by name is forbidden in the essays. Each of the accredited High Schools of Wilson County-Wilson, Elm City, Stantonsburg, Lucama, Black Creek, Rock Ridge, Gardner's, Saratoga, and New Hope-are eligible to enter this contest, the author of the best essay from each school receiving a medal. ln the previous contests, Wilson's winners have been as follows: 1925, Eugene Spivey, Retail Merchandisinge-The Ally of Community Progressnz 1926, William Graves. Opportunities Offered by a Career as a Retail Merchant : 1927, Charles Bissette, Who Pays for the Retail Merchant's Advertising? The subject of this year's contest is Good Roads-Good Farms-Ciood Merchants-and Prosperity. Heretofore the winners of the contest have not been honored by the award of a school letter because there was no competition with other schools. ln order to award letters to successful competitors in the future, a contest among the county winners has been arranged. Thus three honors are possible to this year's winner-the award of the medal at commencement, the school letter, and the county cham- pionship. Here's luck to the contestants and congratulations to the winners!

The organization is the result of an idea conceived by Miss Peele. On the basis of manuscripts submitted to a faculty committee, sixteen students were selected as members. Prom these initial members Traver Farmer was elected President and First Associate Editor: Jesse Aiken, Editor-in-Chief: Carlyle Lynch. Associate Editor. and Frances Ware. Secretary, with Miss Coker as faculty adviser. The Club has one meeting per month and edits the Student Prints in the Wiilson Daily Times bi-monthly. The club has made the following requirements for students desiring admission to the organization: Prospective members must submit a manuscript to the club for its approval: students desiring admission must receive a two-thirds majority vote of the club: the student's theme record will be examined: only two applicants may be admitted each month. Members may specialize in any branch of creative writing they choose. Members whose Work deserves it will receive a school letter at the close of the year. We sincerely believe that the Scribblers' Club will meet its aim. that is. of helping students master the art of creative writing.

Discovery leaks out. Was to have been kept secret until meeting of American Historical Society in May. After searching through the pages of her textbook and sleep- ing through Mrs. Boldridge's lec- tures for four long months, Miss Boyette has become convinced that Columbus sailed around the world in 1492. For years Mrs. James B. Boldridge, together with contemporary historians, has be- lieved that Christopher came to America, parked his boat awhile, and, becoming homesick, returned to Spain where he fell at the feet of Queen Isabella. Miss Boyette is not only a his- torian but a mathematician of note as well, and her secret leaked out while she was attending a meeting of the Mathematical So- ciety. The question was raised about what other events took place about the same time that Regiomontanus was proving one of his famous theorems. Becoming so enthused that she forgot her intentions of withholding the secret until May, Miss Boyette burst forth with great excitement, Columbus sailed around the world. Page Eighty-four PERSONALS Mr. George Wainwright was in conference with Prof. R. Peele on Thursday night. When approached by the editors for a statement of what transpired behind the closed doors, Mr. Wainwright stated that he had nothing to say, but that Prof. Peele would give out an offi- cial statement at the end of the month. We have been informed that Mr. Stuart Morrison will be the proud recipient on his becoming 21 years of age of the sedan car which is at present under the guardianship of his father.

Just why Miss Peele has suddenly shown this fondness for the theatre is still a mystery, but the student body is searching for a clue. Mr. Fike caught a little boy reading a note from a girl. Mr. Fike: Don't you know that school and sweethearts don't go together? Bright Boy: Yes, sir, they do, Fike. That's 'Literature and 1 e7.7Y Boy in Gym: Mr. McWhorter, when does this period end? Mr. McWhorter: When the bell rings. BARNES AND HIS HOT DOG SCHEME DEFEATED The senior class has been in a turmoil for several Weeks on ac- count of not being able to agree on a mascot. Mr. Harper Barnes, a clever orator, and a serious mind- ed chap, championed the hot dog as the most suitable mascot for a class as wild as the one of 1928. Mr. Lynch was the bitter opponent of Barnes's idea because he was fully persuaded that did the class choose the hot animal for a mas- cot, the public would think that the seniors' minds dwelt on their stomachs perpetually. The defeat in this gallant movement hit Mr. Barnes hard, for we learn from good authority that he was very desirous of becoming keeper of the kennels. FACULTY SUPERLATIVES CHOSEN At a meeting of the editorial staff of the Humory Digest on last Wednesday the faculty superla- tives were chosen. We think it only fair to state that their choices were almost unanimous with but two exceptions. Miss Horne ran Miss Cox close for cute, the lat- ter winning by one vote alone. We express our sympathy to Miss Horne and wish her better luck next time. The other race, run by Misses Peele and Pullen, was for popular. The staff decided to give the honor to Miss Peele since she was dated up for every night the week of the election, in- cluding Sunday, while Miss Pullen had failed to find a date for Wednesday. EDITORIAL Last, but not least, someone Hypothesis-The party of the ,11 overheard Cedric Woodall say that first part, MYSELF, loves the Future Seniors, Stop, Look and 32520lzggegcalgogvcglldgggvsu? of the Second part' MY Listen! amine your fire extinguishers! Due to the fact that a senior is at the top of the ladder, he has no trouble in observing his subclass- men or inferiors. The editors feel that the underclassmen in this school are not being scrutinized closely enough. We would, there- fore, advise the coming seniors to watch their underclassmen more closely. Since it is a well known fact that specific examples are the best way to prove a statement, the editors feel the necessity of show- ing up some of the outstanding offenders. They would warn the class of '29 to watch every vigi- lantly little Harry Willis. He is such a spoilt child that we fear he will become a regular nuisance un- less someone will take him down a notch or so. There are several lit- tle tots that Harry runs with who should be watched closely to see that they do not run over some of the smaller teachers in their bois- terous romping. We refer above to Tighlman Herring, Hugh John- son, William Farmer, Bryan Carr and John Wilson. We also advise the class of '29 to keep an eye on Wilbert Sasser, not that we have fear of his jump- ing out of the window or anything like that, but we fear he may go to sleep. We have a pretty good idea that he does nothing but eat and sleep. We would warn you to watch him, or he may insult one of the teachers by snoring in her very face. You coming seniors must watch where you are going, else you might find after it is too late that you have stepped on a mouse- a two-legged mouse. We refer to Brame Morrison. We entrust to your care Herbert Senna and M. Z. Moore. Both are entirely too cute, both need a good sound bucking against a post. ' James Gliarmis's running ability is his outstanding characteristic. We suppose he is destined to be- come an Atalanta. CLUB ORGANIZED IN INTER- EST OF WADESBORO For some time it has been noticed that people journeying south in the direction of Spartan- burg have failed to realize that they were skirting a metropolis when Wadesboro was passed. Hav- ing been made aware of this fact, the one Wadesborian in our midst called a meeting of those interest- ed on January 32, 1928, to discuss the matter. This mass meeting consummated in the organization of the Booster's Club whose motto is Boost Wadesboro. The officers elected by unani- mous vote were as follows: President-M. Horne. Vice-President-V. Horne. Secretary and Treasurer-M. V. Horne. Booster-Miss Horne. In addition to the officers the charter members present were: Mary Horne, Virginia Horne, Mary Virginia Horne, M. Virginia Horne, Mary V. Horne. Since the organization of this Booster's Club is a stern reality we are sure that there will be no more controversy between Char- lotte and Winston-Salem, for from this time on and henceforth for- evermore Wadesboro will be chief contender for all the first places in this state of many firsts.
