Henry Weil Say more and talk less; study no more than you have to, says Henry. Here ' s a boy who lacks the gift o ' gab, but what he does say is worth listening to. Henry ' s generous aid to Bruce and Walter in their kodaking and advertis- ing for Tarpitur 1924, made success possible. Business Manager Junior Play; Wit Editor 4- John Bruce Yelverton Good sound common sense, a lack of temper, a good disposition has Bruce. He ' s one of the most valuable members of ' 24 in all ways. Though very quiet, you may depend on him for a good time. Edwina Barnes Yelverton Weena Weena is an athlete. Without her, girls ' basketball would be nott est. On class, she seems shy; but not so out of school. She ' s full of fun and out for a good time. As you can see, Weena is there with the looks. Basketball ' 21, ' 22.

This is Walter ' s sentiment on the question of love. He loves novelty, or at least, he has a new girl about every week. He ' ll fall for any new girl that smiles, and most of them do. Goldsboro has had lots of new girls this year. Walter ' s craze even takes him to the Panama Canal each summer in quest of new hearts to break. His closest friends know him as being mischievous, but to strangers he is just innocent Walter. Football ' 22. ' 2.1; Junior Play; Basketball Page Twcnty-ninf

Emma Harvey Stanton Fight! Fight! is Emma Harvey ' s password at football games. At basket- ball you hear Miss Walker yell, Hey! stop running with the ball! and you know Emma has it and is staving head- long toward the goal. These are just two cases to prove that Emma Harvey is always the center of action. 4- Mayme Hall Pickett A cheerful grin will let you in, Where the knocker in never known.

Work and you work alone, is Mar- garet ' s motto. She takes things as they ccme and forever seems bubbling over with love o ' life. She always finds something to laugh about, and when there ' s mischief, Margaret is on hand. 4- Wentworth Willis Pierce Went Here ' s a boy who stands high in hi work, And learns long lines from the front of his Burke. He is one of the small number who have managed to reach Virgil. Thanks for the few brilliant ones. Went hates to talk to the other sex, but he ' s grad- ually winning his way.

Senior Prophecy On an extended visit to San Francisco, from which I have recently returned, we had a tremendous casualty, only a few miles from the city, caused by the derailing of the train. Several of the passengers were instantly killed, and a large majority were seriously injured and knocked unconscious. I was no exception, being one of the first carried by auto to the St. Vincent Hospital, where I lay unconscious for several hours. Dur- ing this time I had a wonderful dream concerning the members of the Senior Class of the Goldsboro High School. My first vision was that of the ferry building in San Francisco. Immediately after stepping from the gang plank I met George Kornegay, porter for the Kearny Hotel, who ushered me over to Morris Heilig ' s taxicab. Morris recognized me immediately and exclaimed, Hello, John! Are ou stopping at Creech ' s Hotel or Francis Morris ' s boarding house? Well, financially I prefer the boarding house. During my short stay there I met several of my school friends as I strolled around the city. Among them was Swindell Jenkins, proprietor of a chop suey orgy down in China Town ; Mayme Hall Pickett, Elizabeth Newsome, and Beulah Grady were with a Keith ' s chorus. Walter Wrenn possessed one of the best saloons of the city, located on the Barbary Coast, specifically Van Ness Avenue. Jack Pyatt, most popular newspaper reporter of The Chronicle, was crowding the sport columns of his paper with Crum ' s sensational hits of the season. Before leaving town I visited the Bijou Theater, where I saw a Wentworth Peirce production, featuring Sheik Parker and Elizabeth Bizzell, in which the leading lady lavished her affections on Sheik Parker, to his evident admiration. Annie Kelly, Martha Dortch, and Catherine Edgerton sold ice cream, peanuts, and pop corn during the intermission. As I passed out of the theater and down the street to Mason docks, I met Eloise Sasser and Mabel Shipp, who were on their way to board the ship Mauretania for Hawaii, the land well known for its beauty and volcanic activity, and visited by tourists from every part of the world. I saw in a vision the ancient City Hilo, which was overwhelmingly ensconced under a tremendous overflow of lava. During the excavation, the first thing discovered was an old record of the Kimaki Dancing School, owned bv an old maid named Anne Turner. The orchestra was directed by Newton Mathews, the famous Hawaiian music genius. Miss Bessie Kadis, his assistant, was admitted to be Hawaii ' s most famous ukelele accompanist. Alton Leach was mentioned as the originator of the tomi- PAGE THIRTY
