S. approves that the history of the Class of 1920 shall not go down unwritten, and, we feeling that our good work ranks with that of the best of her children are not at all averse. ' Twas on a beautiful Monday morning in September of 1909 that most of us first entered the old school building on Evans Street, and departed the life of infanthood. Ah, me! those were good old days, when we made mud pies and went wading in the little stream that served as a barrier between the school ground and the next door neighbors ' peach tree. Never then, did teacher stand up and, with look severe, say, Girls must not hold httle boys ' hands. We were banded together fifty or sixty strong then. But, alas! many have either moved away or dropped out to meet the world single-handed — and double- handed, too. Yea, sighing lovers, with heart-distilling tongues, have much too often woo ' d the lasses from our toiling crew. The wind hath blown only twenty- seven good stickers straight to the end of the row. We realize that the school has given us the best possible and aided us in fitting ourselves for Life ' s battl e, and, in return, our class has given much to G. H. S. Many of the athletes, both girls and boys, who have won victories for the school are members of this class. Always we have faithfully performed our part in all school activities. And now, having mastered the problems of High School, we face the sun of a new day in our fife. Our real history is yet to be made. We must bid farewell to these High School days and seek our work in other climes. May G. H. S. always look with pride on the Class of Nineteen Twenty. las;t mm ant VLt tammt of tfje Class; of 1920 WE, the Class of 1920 being of unsound minds and broken bodies and spirits and realizing that we are soon to be numbered with dead, do arouse our- selves from our dying condition in sufficient manner to hereby, in the presence of these witnesses, declare this to be our last will and testament, and also to declare any others heretofore or hereafter written to be null and void. Aht. 1. To the Board of Trustees and the people of Greenville, we extend our thanks for the many kind favors they have ever shown us. They have given us many opportunites, none of which we have failed to take full advantage of! Though there will never be a class capable of taking in as much of what is offered them as we have, nevertheless, we hope that classes in the future will at least be able to show their appreciation of what has been done for them. Art. 2. To our full worthy Superintendent, it is our pleasure to express our deepest gratitude for the timely aid and fatherly advice he has given us on every occasion. Also we leave him for next year the three remaining classes plus the incoming Freshmen, who together will form a creditable audience upon whom he may practise making a speech! Art. 3. We wish to acknowledge also the inestimable service of our honored Principal and Class Advisor, Mr. June Rose. He helps us to master and dis- pose of more propositions than those that occur in the Geometry book. Art. 4. To the other members of the Faculty, we extend our sincerest thanks. We realize the great efforts they have put forth for advancement, and, in view of these facts we wish to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their kind and patient services these four years long. In doing this, however, we wish to bring to mind the fact that the same work with an ordinary class would long ere now have rendered them old, wrinkled, and gray. If they wish to preserve youth and sweet dispositions, we would advise that they always seek to deal with classes as nearly our equals as they can find. Art. 5. It is also our desire and intention that the following articles and talents be transferred to the hereinafter named person or persons. Sec. 1. To the aspiring Junior Class we leave our class room. Well has it held out against an onslaught of chalk and erasers, and if they fail in prosecuting the plan of keeping it clean, then Mr. Rose can offer them a few saws on the sub- ject. To the worthy class also we leave our good friend Cupid, who has played such an important role in our school work. Sec. 2. To the treat-em-rough Sophomores we leave our fondest memories and the desire that they may some day become seniors and able to vie with such as we. Sec. 3. To the timid Babes in the Wood we leave the memory of our record and the hope that three more years may work wonders and make them the best class (but one) ever graduated from a High School. Sec. 4- To the Glee Club we beciueath the voices of Dewey Brooks, Gherman Taylor and J. T. Corey. With these additions this organization can be touched by no chorus of voices in the United States — yea, we feel safe to say, in the whole world. Sec. 5. To the Basket Ball teams — boys and girls — we bestow as many victories as they desire over Wilmington and Belhaven, respectively. Sec. 6. To Richard WiUiams we bestow William White ' s position as center on the Basket Ball team. We feel sure his height will give him an advantage not enjoyed by the retiring center. Sec. 7. To Mary Little we leave Emma Mallison ' s quahty of being quiet and demure; to Aleene Critcher the love of literature and the studious habits possessed by her sister Helen. May the good work continue in the family. Sec. 8. As a good omen, we leave to Marcellus Fleming, Charles Lewis ' ability to pronounce French. Sec. 9. To Anna Long we leave a pair of invisible wings by which Margaret Fleming has always managed to get to school ahead of all her classmates. Sec. 10. To Miss Idol we leave all the Latin books in the U. S. May she have more worthy users of them in the future. Sec. 11. It is our desire that Joe Norman will possess the same amount of chic as Joe Parkerson. Sec. 12. To our beloved classroom teacher, Miss Mial, we leave all the future tardies of the school. They will l)e safe and receive just treatment in her hands. Sec. 13. To Miss Hinton we leave a new edition of Muzzy ' s American History in the hope that she will have no more problems to fight out in class. Sec. 14. To Frances Taft and Mary Thomas we leave Maggie Whichard ' s loquacity. May this added quality help these timid lasses to make their way in the social world. Sec. 15. To George Hadley and Robert Little we bequeath the right to enter the class in American History and, Hke Helen Critcher, to be lulled to sleep while Mack Brown and AUce Fulford wax eloquent over the Webster-Hayne debate. Sec. 16. To Mary Andrews we bequeath Argent Quinnerly ' s flirtatious man- ner — she will find it very helpful. Sec. 17. Of course, we have an unhmited store of talents still in reserve. We have bestowed where we saw greatest need, but if anyone, feehng the need, will come to us, we doubt not that we have just what he shall ask for. This Will and Testament has been duly and properly drawn up by the Class Lawyer and the hands and heels of the Class of 1920 placed thereunto. Lawyer of Class of 1920. 0m Jfuture As I left my home in Washington, D. C, in June, 1935, to spend the summer in Cahfornia, little did I dream that ' ere I returned I should hear of all my old classmates of G. H. S. In Los Angeles news of most of them came to me. One day while at my hotel 1 saw in the paper that the music pupils of Miss Maggie Whichard were to give a concert at the Conservatory. Afterwards I went around to see Maggie and she begged me to leave the hotel and spend the time w ith her at her new bungalow. A few days later as we were resting in hammocks placed under the tall oaks after a game of tennis, we started discussing our schoolmates of good old G. H. S. Margaret, please tell me of some of our schoolmates. You Hve in the east where most of them Rve and I know you see them more than I do. I ' ll be glad to tell you for I saw most of them on my trip. Mary Harding, like myself, lives in Washington. She is North Carohna ' s representative in Con- gress. I knew she would do something great. I saw Emily, too. She graduated at Randolph-Macon and now she is teacher of history there. Don ' t you remember how brilliant she used to be on history class, always making a ' one ' ? One day while I was in Chicago, I saw Argent Quinnerly. She finished her domestic science course at Drexell and now she is teaching at Pratt Domestic Science Institute. You know she always made ' one ' on domestic science. Maggie, just guess what Pattie Smith is doing. Why, she is a promising young nurse up in western North CaroHna. Everyone is crazy about her. Margaret, that is quite a surprise. I did not think that Pattie would be a nurse, but you know you never can tell. She is a wonderful old girl anyway. Please tell me something else about the class. Well, I picked up the New York Times before I left home and saw that Reid Gaskins, President of the Curtis Publishing Company and the fond father of seven children, was to sail for Italy in September to spend the winter. While I was stopping in Louisville, Kentucky, whom should I see but Alice Fulford. She is married to a prominent young tobacco buyer of that city. She invited me home with her and, needless to say, I accepted. She placed before me such a luncheon as would satisfy a king. The next day Alice took me in her big limousine to see the world champion tennis match. And just think of it, Mary Louise Langiey won the medal. She played against Mme. Yuette, who won the medal last year. But I could not stay long with Alice; I had to leave for New Orleans, where I was to meet some old friends. Just before I reached New Orleans, a styHsh young gentleman addressed me, and it was no other than Joseph Parker- son. He is a promising young man, who owns many acres in southern Louisana. Joe told me that Helen Critcher was to- play the leading part in ' The Follies ' in New Orleans that night. You know Helen lives in CaUfornia and I guess you see her quite often. Yes, I see her quite often. Very few members of our class live out west. But what has become of WiUiam White? Wilham? Oh! he is still in Greenville. He is manager of the newly-erected ' White ' s Theatre ' there. Really he is doing quite well. And J. T. is a garage owner in Farmville. I guess you know that William Tyson is a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia, did you not? No, I always thought that he would be a lawyer though. And, by the way, I saw in the California Tribune that Gherman Taylor, a great civil engineer, has recently been awarded the contract for the construction of a bridge across the Atlantic. Yes, and Mack Brown is a great vaudeville actor. He is now singing in a concert tour of the eastern states. Just at this point the postman arrived, bringing letters for both of us. Maggie, hsten to this— ' The engagement of Miss Ada James to Sir Philip Mont- rose was announced yesterday. Miss James is spending the summer in her cottage on Long Island. She is a very popular and attractive young lady and takes an active part in the social affairs of New York. ' Can you get ahead of that? Quite a surprise! Here is something else about another of our classmates: ' Miss Thelma Shamhart has just completed her new book, entitled The Daughter of Democ- racy. It is a grand success. ' Margaret, what do you see in the New York Times? Oh! here is the wedding of Josephine Skinner. She married a millionaire in New York yesterday. Lillian Joyner, the bride ' s maid, will sail with the bride on her wedding tour to Paris. Charles Lewis, the famous Wall Street broker, was in her wedding. What do you say of going to the movies tonight? Let ' s go by all means. Maggie and I went to the movies and saw a won- derful picture. Margaret Fleming was playing the leading part. As we came out of the theatre, whom should we see but Dewey Brooks, who had come to Cali- fornia for his health. Dewey is a multi-milhonaire and hves in Philadelphia. He told us that Emma and Almeta Mallison were the best stenographers in the east and that they were working for a very prominent business house in Boston. He also said that Susie Turner would arrive in Los Angeles the next day. We bade Dewey good-night and went home. The next morning we went to the station and captured Susie just as she landed on the ground. We carried her out to Maggie ' s bungalow, where every- thing is just dehghtful. Susie, we have heard of all of our classmates but Ruby Evans. What has become of her? we asked. Why, dear girls, she is just as prosperous as the rest. She owns the most wonderful ' Modiste Shop ' in Springfield. She always was so neat and the clothes in her shop are just lovely. I should like for you to tell me of the others some- time. In the living room that night Maggie and I told the same long story once more. Thereupon we retired to dream of the prosperity of Nineteen Twenty ' s Class. (By Elizabeth Gaskins) THE greatest need of Pitt County is a hospital. There are very many reasons why we should have it, and so I want to name a few. The great need of one was shown last year when the epidemic of Spanish influenza swept the country. There were not enough nurses and doctors for each individual home, but if we could have had a hospital, all the patients could have been carried there and many of the Uves that were lost for lack of attention could have been saved. The delay caused by having to send people so far off often proves fatal, as is shown by the case of a man who was accidentally shot near Stokes. If he could have been carried here to a hospital, he would probably have been saved, but he was not able to be carried anywhere else. Much money is lost by carrying people so far to a hospital, and many people fail to get the attention they need. We are asked to keep our money circulating in our own county, and this would surely help do it, because very much money is spent outside for hospital expenses. Most hospitals are often crowded, and there have been some recent cases where a patient was not able to go to a hospital because of the crowded condition existing at that time. Therefore, a hospital would be able to take such patients who otherwise would suffer. Pitt is up with any other county in every respect and ahead of many. But many have hospitals and we don ' t; we don ' t want to be behind in anything— especially something needed so badly by every one. Some people argue that a community hospital could not be a success and that we have failed in getting it one time, but we believe in trying again, and this time we are going to win. Who ever heard of anything that we couldn ' t make a success of? Some people think that it wouldn ' t pay, but if only a few lives are saved, that alone would pay for it. Our county is richer this year than it ever has been before, and I am sure that the best way some of this money could be spent is in a hospital. Many towns don ' t want this because it has been suggested that it be located in Greenville and they want it in their own town, but if they find another place more suitable that doesn ' t make them want to do away with the idea entirely. Only narrow-minded people think that way. If all the leading men of the county are ready and willing to give their money and personal support to this movement, I don ' t see why they would want to give to something that wasn ' t worth while; so it must be. Many people in boarding houses and private homes are often very ill and cannot be given the best attention, while, if we had a hospital, they could have it there. It would be a good thing for the county, because people had rather live where there is a hospital not very far off than to have to go a long way. The most fitting tribute that we could pay our dead heroes would be to have a hospital in their memory. It would be much better than an arch, monument or the like. They would do no good, and I am sure, if they could, they would say that they had rather have the hospital as a memorial. It would serve others just as they served othei ' S. And so let us all think about this and decide that we are going to have a Memorial Hospital, for Pitt County has been over the top in everything else and we ' re going to do so in this.

DESPITE the fact that this is only the third year of Domestic Science in Greenville High School, the department is one of the best in Eastern North Carolina. The present Senior Class studied in the first year the follo ving: Menus, plain cooking, and elementary dietetics. In the second year the study of elementary dietetics was completed, and balanced menus taken up for intensive study. And in the third year the principal topic studied was Invalid Diet. Each member of the class has prepared and served a meal without assistance, and the class, working together, have several times served luncheons for various gatherings. The courses in sewing have been equally successful. The pupils have made bureau runners, pin cushions; learned to embroider and make button holes and do all kinds of plain sewing; and, finally, learned to make shirt waists, smocks, shirts, gingham dresses and the like. Also during the latter part of the Senior year a study was made of the home and interior decorations. I DRAWING j BOWLS! Plates! Teapots! of every conceivable form and shape! Where does she get them all? We draw them, we paint them, and then we con- vert them into posters! In the fall and spring, when nature runs riot in color, we get out our paint boxes, and paint flowers and leaves, fruits and vegetables to our heart ' s content. Then comes along a play, a basketball game or an exhibit, and we know our fate is a poster, a,nd that means lettering, which requires both neatness and patience. At first we didn ' t like to design, for we had to learn rules upon rules and apply them to such objects as portfolios for our drawings, but when -Christmas came we had a good time making candy boxes, calendars, needle-books, laundry lists, music backs and all kinds of pretty things for Christmas presents. We also learned Knot-work and made the prettiest bags and doll hammocks of all colors. The Seventh Grade made .serai)-l)t)()ks fur the Junior Red Cross nur.se and filled them witli their own nature and still-lil ' e di ' awings, landscapes, dolls, clowns, etc. But it is the Sophomore Class that everyone envies, for they have a studio all their own, where they draw plans for houses, study color schemes, design wall paper and rugs, carve wood blocks and actually apply the designs to real curtains, dresser scarfs, table runners, pillow tops, etc. They also designed and stenciled real Liberty Luncheon Sets on sanitas, using colors to correspond to the china which they designed and painted in paper plates. Then they made waste-paper baskets from cardboard, aiid each girl made a pine needle-work basket and a reed flower basket for her very own. They even studied Period furniture and selected the style suitable to their home. But there is one thing we don ' t envy them, and that is the study of the Greek, Roman, Gothic, and other styles of architecture. We had lots rather study the fives and pictures of famous artists, as we have to do in both the Seventh and Eighth Grades. The Seventh Grade were not willing for the Sophomores to get ahead of them, so they stay after school for a basketry class and they scatter pine needled far and wide until even Jufius, the janitor, threatens to turn them out doors with their , i mess, as he calls it. It is hard work and takes a long time, but just look at the results! But I tell you what we did do, we Freshmen made most of the designs for the Annual. They are not perfect, of course, but next year we ' ll know more about drawing and then we ' ll show you some regular drawings. i THE year 1919-20 will always be remembered as one of the most successful in the history of G. H. S. athletics. The student body of the school stood solidly behind their teams, in both victory and defeat. Cheer leaders were selected and they did good work in directing the enthusiasm of the team ' s sup- porters. The people out in town were loyal also. The boys ' basketball team had a hard schedule of twelve games, and came out with nine of these victories. The team was one of the contenders for the Eastern North Carolina Championship, and was successful in holding on to the very last, when they were defeated by the state champions, Wilmington, by the narrow margin of three points. The girls ' team made a remarkable record also. They were also in the cham- pionship series, and stayed in until they were eliminated by the present Eastern North Carolina champions. Up to the time of the championship series, the team had not lost a game. The girls of the school wei ' e fortunate this year in that there was furnished them regular gym classes under the direction of Miss Mial. This work has been of great benefit, and next year will see an enlargement of the work.
