Svrninr Hnrm We the Senior Class of ,29 are leaving, And launching our boats upon the sea of Life. But we shall always be loyal to E. C. H. S. Thru struggles, hardships, and strife, There shall be hard winds blowing That will rock our boats about. But let us always keep up the fight Vlfith a smile, and not a pout. May we have courage to meet hardships, And turn away the black darkness of night. Let us keep on struggling. trying- Until at last, we win the fight. Eventually we shall come to a harbor, But this will not complete our happiness. We shall immediately begin upon the journey, Up the road that leads to success. Some of us will hold high positions, And enjoy the pleasures which greatness will bring But to those of us who hold small ones, Let's not forget, XYork Conquers Everything. Class Poet-Ryland Davis.

manent for it. Wilbur had procured a brown complexion from being a life saver at the seashore. . Myrtle Hill, matron of the home for blind mice, has been re-elected to this position. Florence Ballard, a widow, has been chosen to act as the optometrist for the victims of their fair institution. Myrtle had a wood-en countenance while Florence was chewing gum. Erlien Newbern and Carrie Miller, motion picture actresses have fine little adjoining apartments. Both girls were married therefore they each had a husband: but Erlien had something else. It was playing on the floor with its dad, Chapman Nelson, noted White wing sweeper. Chap has grown to be a physical giant, but Erlien and Carrie, were so far back in the picture that they were not clear, however I could see the 1929 green sweater that Erlien wore and Carrie was crying, possibly thinking of her high school days and a certain Dodge car. There was a loud bustle as the door of the laboratory flew open. In rushed Clay Foreman. He told us he had been looking in at the picture through the key hole, and seeing that last picture could not stand that location any longer, so we turned the dial to Hong Kong, China, where we found this: Norman Gregory and Alice Woodell have bought out the hair dye factory here. Mr. Gregory will have charge of the black hair dye and Miss Woodell the red dye. I might be color blind but that picture sure had Red's hair RED and Alice's black. Edward Midgett, having lost Miserere Hettrick, a contemporary author, has taken the appointment of ambassador to Africa. Edward was smaller and thinner than ever, and lo! Miserere was still smaller. Doris Harrison was going through a life of drudgery. Her husband Frank Snowden, is having a hard time finding food for four by writing athletic articles for the Hong Kong Screamer. Her mouth was open, her glasses were on and she had an impish twinge about the corners of her mouth. Frank was like any ordinary writer. No hat on his head and unshined shoes on his feet. Albert Kramer and Neulah Raper are still being proclaimed by Barnum and Bailey as their best trapeze artists. Twenty years have not changed Neulah or Albert, she still longing for Joe and the filling station and he still longing for a certain Norfolk girl. At Atlantic City we found: Margaret Harris and Adrienne Davis were judged the two girls with the handsomest physiques at this famous summer resort. Adrienne has grown as tall as Margaret, but she does not rock and reel as does the latter. Ruth Overman and Byron Sawyer are visiting in the city. He is the author of the novel, If You Can't Be Good, Be Careful . She is a noted palmist. Byron bore all the marks of a marriage battle. There were several prints of rolling pins and flat irons on him the same being made by the hefty arm of his elegant, brunette wife. At Raleigh we found this: George Little, Supt. of the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Dix Hill, reports a shortage of dumbness at that fair institurtion and asks that more vegetables be furnished by the State Equal-ization Board. George was a little bit cross eyed from straining his lungs practicing a cornet in his youth and yelling at the dumb mutes at the Hill. Elizabeth Bright, poser for the Palm Olive Soap Co., visited the city yesterday. That same School Girl complexion. Carl Scarborough of New York will play in Flappers' Delight at the Carolina tonight. Eight piece orchestra. Those same enchanting brown eyes that have made many a good girl leave home. Elizabeth Evans, eminent missionary from Angelus Temple of Los Angeles, is visiting ii? the city. While here she will help in the revival being carried on by the Hollywood Church. Elizabethls voice was still as sweet as ever. After this picture was flashed on the screen the announcer announced the end of the program Prof. Benbury walked over to his set and turned it off. We then retired to his library where we discussed what he had just seen and read, and we made a note that of all of the people that we had seen tonight were our old schoo-l mates at Betsy Hi. The clock in the hall struck twelve. I arose and put on my raincoat and bade my friend good night, thanking him for the enjoyable evening that I had spent as his guest. When I reached the street I noticed that the storm had ceased and above the top of the trees a vivid red moon was casting a warm yellow light over all the town.
