.s 'YK -.2 GERTRUDE TEMPLEMAN Class President, 25 Glee Club, 2, 3, 45 Phi Kappa Alpha, 33 Class Historian, 43 Associate Editor, The Loudspeaker, 4. Gertrude is the model of our class. VVe would all be better off if we patterned after her. She never does anything rash as some of the more thoughtless of us, but goes serenely from one day to another. VIVIEN TURNER Advertising Committee, Spotlight, 4: Athletic Association, 1, 2g Class Basket Ball, 1g Phi Kappa Alpha, 3. Vivien has a most likeable and fetching smile, which always brightens up a dark and dreary day. She is unseltish and has a fun-loving disposition. Viv is a good student and a loyal friend. NVe hope life will smile on her as she smiles on others. . t 3, if 1 GLADYS TILLETT In various activities Gladys is not the kind who likes to put herself be- fore the public. However, those who know her have found that beneath her outward reserve she is full of friendliness and humor. Gladys is in the business class, and if what we hear about her is true, we are sure that later on she will make her place in the world of bus- mess. MARGARET WELLS Typist, The Loudspeaker, 43 Literary Society, 1, 23 Student Coun- cil, 25 D. I. Club, 43 Nutty Nuts, 1, 2. Margaret is neat in appearance and ehicient in work. She is good-natured and can laugh just as heartily when the joke is on her as if it were on someone else. XVe wish her all the favors that it is possible for one to receive. Dan-Q + no.. Ana

SENIOR HISTORY GW has come the time when we must leave our high school for a larger place in life. Some of us will continue our studies and some will take up positions in the great world of business. How long it seemed as we looked ahead, and yet, as we look back, how short a time it has been since we entered upon our high school career as Freshmen. The first weeks were busy ones in which we tried to adapt ourselves to our new surroundings. The Sophomores, with true class spirit, loved to lord it over us and make our lives miserable. They took every opportunity to show us how insignificant and green we appeared to them. But there is an end to everything and when the novelty wore off we were left in peace. The officers elected for that year were: Tyer Sawyer, President: Alma Mann, Vice- Presidentg Wesley Sheep, Secretary: and Mahlon Raper, Treasurer. We chose as our colors, White and Gold: and as our flower, the Daisy. The motto adopted to be used through high school was, VVe learn to do by doing. One of the most important events of that year, to the Freshman class at least, was the party given us on November 16 at the Red Men's Hall by the Sophomores. Our first school party! Of course we all went and had a good time. The new high school building was finished by the first of the year and we proudly took possession on January 2, the first Freshman class to enter. Mid-term examinations safely over, we entered with more confidence upon our sec- ond term as members of the student body of the Elizabeth City High School. We returned the party of the Sophomores. Our class did not furnish many stars for the Literary Society that year, but we took our part in the field of Athletics, having one of our number on the football squad and one on the Girls' Basket Ball Team. Final examinations marked the close of an eventful year and we turned our attention toward higher things. After three months of rest and play we again took up our work in school. This time we entered as Sophomores. Of course we knew it all! VVhat Sophomore doesn't? And if we didn't, the Freshmen were led to believe we didg which was as it should be. Patterning after the preceding classes, we took great delight in giving the Freshmen a cordial CFD welcome. Soon, however, our studies laid claim to most of our time. 'We elected as our officers for that year: Gertrude Templeman, President: Robert Williams, Vice-Presidentg and Isadore Farrow, Secretary-Treasurer. We entertained the Freshman class with a party which they returned after Christmas. In May of that year we had a class picnic at Chantilly which we greatly enjoyed. Page twenty-seven
