E' 'igiatnirv We stood that day trembling and afraid, And gazed into the faces Of our teachers. And they guided us To desks of oak and maple. They lead our thoughts, and speaking gently To us, calmed our apprehensions lliith kindly words. And the wind And birds and trees and flowers Xlhispered, and filled our souls 'XYith happiness-Qfor our School days had begun. XYe stopped, And like the bee, sipped a little Cf the honey, to refresh ourselves lYith its fragrance. And as we Sipped, the delight of another XlVorld became our own: for we Soon could add and subtract, read And write, and ride in opaque Glee with Baby Ray and his dog. And the days rolled onig another year VVas ushered in.

WILBUR WEST Do not take life seriously Salute they laziest person in the Senior class. Wilbur must have lost his energy in the lower classes. Yet he seems to be taking life easy. Although his ambition in life is obscuvre, we believe it will materilize. FRANK WILSON Frank is one of the most genial and likeable boys in our class. His motto is the earlier to school the better. We donlt know what we'd do without his smile and ever present giggle. ALICE WOODELL Although she is another of those students who remains with us only one year, Alice who hails from Maryland, we of E. C. H. S. find is industrious but not too smart. In our estimation, Alice is O. K. BEULAI-I WRIGHT A star! A star! Yes, a basketball starg Beulah is one of the best players on the girl's squad. She is another of the students who weren't born and raised in Elizabeth City,, but nevertheless, she's a fine sport, and weire glad to claim her. is fI'fTf -77 ' WW' YW ' f- x LQ ' -'ai im?- X IEQCLBCQO O QS 69676 Ao' -.

VVe tasted, then, Again of the qualities of life And found the taste not quite so Pleasant, as it had seemed at first. For VVe had learned that age means Tears and heartaches, with one and All - - - There was a teacher, too who since Has passed from earthly things. The year Rolled by, and with another dawning VVe came, as third graders, to learn Of worldly things. A fourth year, and Then a fifth, a sixth, And another, until they numbered Seven. And we stood, and looked into The future, and saw ourselves as we are to-nite. Freshmen we became- Freshmen in name and spirit. Unused To the strange customs and practices Of high school. But soon we learned. And waging war with Latin, math, Science, civics and English, we made our mark And placed our foot upon the second step: To become Sophomores. ,Q 'i ll 1 ,WM-YV 15,1 .
