It has not been our purpose to make any contribu- tions to literature, but we have tried to make it a fitting memorial of the year in G. H. S. In this volume it has been our purpose to immortalize many incidents, friends and memories dear to our hearts. So, dear reader, if in years to come these pages make the eyes brighten and the heart-beat quicken we will have attained our purpose.

S. a band of forty insignificant little people whose sole hope and consolation was, a green thing must grow. Under the cold, merciless eyes of the blase upper classes we struggled for nine months of perfect misery ; suffered the persecution of the sophomores without a murmur, and bore the blame for everything that happened. The tremendous task of initiating this crew into the manners and customs of high school was entrusted to Miss Hinton, who worked with us, sheltered us, and protected us in our infancy, as it seemed, in such a manner as to win a permanent place in our hearts. It may not be generally known, but the word sophomore comes from the Greek word sophor , meaning wise. Add to this the word more and, behold ! you have a word of great significance. If anyone doubts the veracity of this statement, I will have to refer you to our record as freshmen. With the generous aid of juniors and seniors, we were quick to learn the stupendous nature of our ignorance, so 1920 is a record of hard work for the Class of ' 23. The critical period — namely, the Junior Class — found us still radiant with fun and pleasure, but calmed to that steadiness which can be so readily relied upon. Many of our former classmates, who had been with us through years, had dropped from our class roll, some of them victims of Cupid ' s darts, while others found life more pleasant in the green grass by the wayside. But to those who remained, 1921 was a time of progress and achievement in every respect. We look back upon our junior year with the pride and satisfaction afforded by a task well done. With Miss Hatcher at the wheel to pilot us on our last lap along the road to learning, we have followed the detours, avoided the ruts, and now we have arrived at our distinction, graduation, badly shaken, but happy. Although our road has been hard, we have attempted along our way to- blaze the trail that those who follow us may be encouraged. The senior table, which was placed in the lower hall by the Class of ' 23, is a source of much pride and benefit not only to the Senior Class, but to the entire student body. The senior hedge, planted in front of the building by the Class of ' 23, not only serves a worthy purpose in beautifying the campus, but will also serve as a lasting tribute to G. H. S. from her departing class. The Echo, our high school paper, was edited in its first year by one of our classmates, and his staff included two other members of the class. The success of this paper is due in many respects, however, to Miss Hathaway, who devoted much of her time to this work, and whose advice and cooperation enabled the staff to present a paper of which the school is justly proud. To our principal, Mr. Davis, loyal friend and advisor that he has proven to be, we wish to express our sincere thanks. We can show only in a small way the high esteem 28 ill which we hold this man, who came to us last September an absolute stranger, but who, in the short lapse of nine months, has won the hearts of the student body by his untiring efforts jn our behalf. We cannot praise too highly the work of our superin- tendent, Mr. Rose, who has made G. H. S. a larger and better institution since he accepted the position as head of our school system. Although our relations with the other members of the faculty will end with our graduation, they will live in our memory as our truest friends. Mingled with the feeling of pride and elation which naturally accompanies grad- uation, there is in our hearts a note of sadness and regret that we must lose our school- day friends, which are the dearest friends that a lifetime affords. Tom Folev Historian. IIoiv many of us appreciate the unspoiled evidence of God ' s handiivork in Nature, that ive have the privilege of enjoying first-handf 29 Bruce Tucker, slender and wise, Shall capture all by her laughing eyes. If you watch closely, you may see Who the happy captive will be. Since God took Caruso away Tom and Guilford shall have their day. We hope they ' ll have full due Of the world ' s patronage, too. William Perkins, so full of wit, At some hig h post is sure to sit. And those of us who know Bill Say he ' ll make laws, and so he will. 30 For Ruth McGovvan, who has been loyal in the past, She will teach the truths learned in our Sen- ior Class, And we hope that for the good of her pupils small She will not succumti to the charms of that one so tall. William Evans will be a professor — Possibly Mr. Rose ' s successor; We will point with pride toward him. For he has the grit to win. Around the corner, on Evans Street, Mavis Lee Oakley you may meet. A large banner floats from her hand — A leader of a temperance band. Of Pauline ' s success you gladly will hear, Her childhood ' s first love had grown very dear. Listen, and I ' ll whisper to you A secret: it ' s a cottage for two. Priscilla Austin in the future I see An accomplished musician to be. For her a life of complete success is near; Still she holds G. H. S. very dear. Some day Berry will leave us all flat — The crowd will shout, Babe Ruth ' s at the bat . The Senior Class of ' 23 will say, We always knew ' twould be his way. Mattie from Columbia, you may see, Has taken our M. S. degree. How strange that one so learned and prim Should give her dear to a him. Martha is quite full of pep — As secretary she ' s made a rep. And who to her gives dictation. But the president of our nation? Can you imagine a lawyer in an Eastern state, Such as Harry Brown will make? At his name crooks will tremble in fear, But true men will send forth a cheer. Some time in the near future we will see That Ella Fleming has become all she prom- ised to be In the dear old high school years, When towards her our minds held no fears. Of Helen Mattocks you will hear. How she taught school for only one year, And then changed position and name Through culinary arts to gain fame. Mary Ruth is such a quiet, demure girl, A wife she ' ll be in life ' s busy whirl. Her home will be on a ranch in the West, Out where she likes the world best. Here is Willard, whose future is bright, And for her we hold no fear. For oae of the two she ' s sure to choose. Either a Mrs. or college next year. Blanche Evans, the cry goes ' round, For athletic directress must be found. Blanche is synonym for fairness to all. That ' s why to Blanche goes the call. High in the towers of the Hall of Fame We see an oft-repeated name — Our Jim, good and true, has become A theatrical manager, and not a bum. Huldah Albritton, everyone will agree, One of the best of nurses shall be. She ' ll soothe the throbbing brow. And all sufferers to her will bow. Despite the ways and wiles of a spinster Ausmus will remain a bachelor minister. And all who hear him Feel they must depart from sin. As a wife of a preacher fair Lucy has gone To Christianize Indians, from whom she ' d have run Back in the old G. H. S. days, When she was sp shy in all her ways. Our dear classmate, Corrine Tucker, Whose face in frowns was never known to pucker — A teacher she is expecting to be, But she won ' t, and you will see. Zeno Brown a doctor shall be, And though his name is known far and wide, No one will ever be able to see That Doc makes display of pride. Sometime in the future we see Frank Harrington a judge to be. His words, wise and true, Shall be heeded by thousands, too. Theo, as captain of a ship, shall sail The Atlantic, and face many a gale With courage strong and true, Giving orders fairly to the crew. And the grand, dear old Class of ' 23, So successful it is sure to be! Our happy schooldays on G. H. S. hill. And may our reunions continue until Each one has reached the heavenly home. With life well ended, our work well done. 31 Last Will and Testament of tke Class of 23 E, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-three, realizing our early departure from this fav ored clime into the great unknown, being in full possession of a sound mind, memory, and understanding, and knowing that our priceless privileges and other treasures will be of no further value to us, do make known and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking any other whims, notions, preferences, and purposes heretofore expressed by us. To wit : 1. To our dear old G. H. S. we leave the unbounded love of every member of the Class of ' 23, together with the hope of her prosperity and success. 2. To Mr. Davis, our principal, we bequeath a student body who loves him, and may they have a higher and fuller appreciation of the pink slip system than has here- tofore been shown. 3. To our beloved faculty we give the right and privilege of remodeling a Senior Class after their own heart, also with the wish that their valuable time may never be taken up by their innumerable wants and desires — i. e., senior privileges. 4. To the coming geometry class we leave Miss Louise Wilkerson, who has worked unceasingly with us in trying to grasp that intangible thing — geometry. 5. To our class advisor. Miss Lena Hatcher, she that ' s loved by all so well, we wish to bequeath a year of rest in some heavenly spot. Surely it is needed for one who has worked so hard as she. 6. To the Class of ' 23 we bequeath, for the duration of their existence: First. Senior honors. Second. All senior privileges, with the hope that they may appreciate in the fullest sense the said privileges. Third. Seniorical dignity; we realize that this will be a great strain on them, but mavbe they will be able to raise themselves to the occasion. 7. The seniors wish to grant and bequeath, individually, the following talents, traits, and privileges: ( 1 ) Zeno Brown bequeaths his athletic ability to anyone who will guarantee that its use will be for the glory of old G. H. S. (2) Mavis Lee Oakley leaves her studying capacity to Mary Lee Pittman. (3) Martha Cherry leaves her art of never speaking to Daisy Whichard. (4) Tom Foley, Harry Brown, Guilford Smith bequeath to anyone who gets there first room for three on the E. C. T. C. sidewalk. Here ' s hoping no one is hurt. (5) The editorial staff leaves for the Class of ' 23 a wide field of knowledge in getting to press a book symbolic of G. H. S. — i. e., the Tau. In witness whereof, the Class of ' 23, the testators, have to this, our last will and testament, set our hand and seal, this the seventeenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three.

MvLYt Irnmn Died May 21, 1923 With bitter swiftness came the destined end, When Death pursued his ever-ceaseless way Across the landscape of Earth ' s little day. The shadows of Life ' s evening soon to send ; And night has fallen o ' er lives so sweet — But only night upon the earthly part, For still the guerdon of the pure in heart The passing of a mortal mind may meet. So rest has come to end those labors dear. To proffer peace in place of passing pain And crown the ending of well-spent lives; While love and memory bring us comfort here. Where we are wrapped in thoughts of worldly gain And battered by the stoims of stress and strife. Jolin Edwin Scoville OHxN EDWIN SCOVILLE, son of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Powers Scoville. was born November lo, 1908, in Whigham, Ga. He received the greater part of his early education in Commerce, Ga., and Wilmington, N. C. It was from Wilmingto.i that he came to Greenville and entered High School as a freshman. To those who knew John, his memory will always be dear. He was an earnest, conscientious member of the Class of ' 25, but his influence was not limited to this one class, for it was felt by all the school and by all with whom he came in contact. To know him was to love him. He upheld every standard of pure boyhood and practiced faith, hope, and charity in all he did. He was distinguished on the athletic field as well as in the school room for his remarkable ability and fairness. He was a faithful scout, being the only first-class scout in the organization ; he was also a very active mem ber of the Athletic Association. In the two short years of John ' s stay in Greenville he made many friends. He was looked up to by every member of his class, and his advice was always sought in matters of importance. He was the ideal boy, and his place in High School can never be filled. But we never know when the Father may call us home, and it was on the 27th of November, 1922, that this fine, promising young boy, following an attack of appen- dicitis, was called to eternal rest. Even though he went in his early youth, he left many friends to mourn his vacant place; for young and old alike loved John. As a proof of the great love and admiration the school felt for him, two memorial cups have been given on which will be engraved every year the names of the boy and girl from the Senior or Junior Classes who come the nearest to living up to the standard set by John Edwin Scoville. These memorials are a constant reminder of his sweet influence, which will always be felt in the hearts of his friends, and of his sweet and gentle life, which has set a standard for us all. 39 SOPHOMORE CLASS 40 h i Color ' s: Purple and Gold Floiver: Violet Motto: Rowing, not drifting.

season of 1922 aflords many high lights, thrilling moments of achievements, cutting disappointments, and a record of which the school is justly proud. G. H. S. was indeed fortunate in having Coach Duncan return this year. His capacity for hard work and his affable manner impels his men to give the best that is in them. The team, with one year ' s experience, set out to gain a reputation in strength, skill, team spirit, and clean sportsmanship. And it accomplished its purpose. The wisdom of last year ' s team in selecting Zeno Brown as captain was fully shown by his successful leadership. Be- sides being one of the chief ground-gainers, he held his team together very skillfully. Our total score for the year was 119, as compared with our opponents ' 32, a showing in which our team must feel the greatest satisfaction. G. H. S., 26; Wilson H. S., o. We opened the football season September 22, by defeating Wilson here, 26 to o. Our team showed up well for the first game and was too good for the visitors. G. H. S., o; KiNSTON H. S., o. In a hard-fought game September 29, in Kinston, we played that high school to a scoreless tie. Every inch of ground was sternly contested, and neither side kept the ball for any length of time. Although Greenville gained more ground, we could not carry the ball over. G. H. S., 6; Washington H. S., 6. One of the most disappointing games of the year was the one with Washington. After Byrd, of Washington, had run through our whole eleven for a touchdown, the Tigers woke up long enough to push over one touchdown to tally the count. Several times before this Washington ' s goal line had been in danger, but Greenville had lost the ball in fumbles. G. H. S., 25 ; Tarboro H. S., o. The Tigers took an easy game from Tarboro in their opponents ' town, October 13. Fumbles kept down the score. G. H. S., o; Washington, o. Greenville journe3 ' ed to Washington to battle our ancient rivals in their own back yard. Again the anticipated victory was not realized. A mix-up in the number of downs, when Greenville threatened Washintgon ' s goal, snatched away the victory and nearly led us to defeat, when the other team marched down toward our goal, only to be stopped on the two-yard line. This game was even more disappointing than the first. G. H. S., 16; Warsaw H. S., o. _ October 27, Warsaw came here. The visitors nearly crossed our line, but the Tiger defense held like a stone wall. Our team was slow in getting started on the offensive, and the going was rough, but it finally hit its pace and was able to score. 56 u G. H. S., 13; Vanceroro Farm Life School, 0. On Armistice Day we played the heavy team from Vanceboro. The visitors were hard and game, and they fought back from every angle, but the Tigers were not to be denied. G. H. S., 46; Tarboro PL S., o. November 17, Tarboro came here to play a return game and again met defeat. After Simmons was removed from the gridiron it was hard for them to stop the Tiger rushes. G. H. S., O; GOLDSBORO H. S., 26. We lost the first championship game to Goldsboro. The boys had an off day, it seemed. After their first touchdown, which the Tigers believed they deserved, was not counted, they seemed to lose heart and let Goldsboro have the game. Harry Brown, ' 23.

LTHOUGH our 1923 basketball team did not progress very far in the state championship tournament, it showed wonderful development for an aggre- gation with only two last year letter men. Despite the absence of some players, due to injury or sickness, from many gam?s, the team succeeded in winning a creditable number of victories. The season had its brilliant moments and its disap- pointments. The boys played inconsistently the whole season, for after winning one beautiful game, they would lose the next, displaying only mediocre form. This might have been due to lack of experience. The Tigers did not advance far in the state tournament. After eliminating Bel- haven with the score 33 to 30 in the most magnificent game in years, they lost the fol- lowing contest to Washington. This game cut short our championship aspirations. In the game with Belhaven the Tigers played wonderfully. They were all over the court, guarding their sure-shot opponents closely and scoring when necessary. In- deed, this game will linger in the memories of G. H. S. supporters for a long time. In praising the first team, the second team must not be forgotten. Remember that it is the second string that develops the first. The Tiger Cubs worked hard and forced the Tigers to extend themselves. All in all, the 1923 season was very successful. The record of the season follows: G. H. S 44; Winterville 5 G. H. S 21 ; Roanoke Rapids 15 G. H. S 23; New Bern 39 H. S 35; Ayden 19 G. H. S 16; New Bern 13 G. H. S 20; Battleboro 13 G. H. S 27; Washington 45 G. H. S j6; Raleigh 27 G. H. S 18; Rocijy Mount 14 G. H.

Smith Captain 6i Jeff erson Davis EFFERSON DAVIS, the only President of the Southern Confederacy, and one of our greatest statesmen, was born on June 3, 1808, in what is now Todd County, Kentucky. His father, Samuel Davis, was of Welsh descent, and his mother, who was noted for her beauty and sprightliness of mind, was Scotch-Irish. During Jefferson ' s infancy his father moved to Wilkinson County, Mississippi, where he later died. Until Jefferson was seven years of age he attended a country log cabin school near his father ' s house. When seven years of age he was sent on horseback with some friends of his father through the Choctaw and Chickasaw country of Kentucky and placed in a Dominican school, St. Thomas ' , where he remained for two years. While there he was treated with great kindness and affection by the priest. This caused him to greatly admire the Roman Catholics. He also attended schools of Presbyterian and Unitarian direction. Although his father was a Baptist and he a devout Episcopalian, he cared little for sectarian creed, and was just as much at home in one place of worship as another. Davis acquired his preparation for college at a county academy in Mississippi, and later en- tered the Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky. However, he was soon appointed cadet to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Among his classmates there were Albert Sydney Johnson and Leonidas Polk. While at West Point, Cadet Davis was distinguished for his manly, high-toned, and lofty character and his love of justice and truth. To illustrate this phase of his character: One day one of his professors, who had taken a great dislike to him, was lecturing to the class on the essential qualities neces- sary to make a soldier. Talking directly to Davis, he said: I doubt not, sir, that there are a great many who in an emergency would become confused and lose their heads, not from cow- ardice, but from the smallness of their minds. Cadet Davis was powerless to resent this insult; however, he bided his time and had his day. Not long after this the professor was teaching the class the process of making fire balls. One of them ignited, and the room was filled with explo- sives. Davis was the first to discover the danger, and very coolly asked the professor: What shall I do, sir? The fire ball is ignited. The professor, starting for the door, answered: Run for your life! and he was the first to make the exit. But Davis did not flee the danger, as the others had done; he calmly went over, picked up the burning ball, raised the window, and threw it out upon the grass, thereby saving the building and forever silencing his enemy, the professor. Jefferson Davis was a man of thought, resources, and courage — a man who never lost his head. In 1828 he graduated with the rank of brevet-lieutenant, and was later given a commission as second lieutenant, but soon he was transferred toi the First Regiment of Dragoons. When the Black Hawk Indian War began. General Winfield Scott sent two young lieutenants to Dixon, Illinois, to accept and muster into the United States service such troops as might present themselves. One of these lieutenants was a man of gentle, fascinating manners, affable, pleasant, and courteous, drawing to him those with whom he came in contact. The other lieutenant was just as pleasant, but most exceedingly modest. The first was Jefferson Davis, first lieutenant of U. S. A. The second. Lieutenant Anderson, who was, in 1861, Major Anderson, of Fort Sumter fame. The captain of the first troop, arriving to be mustered, was a tall, slender, awkward, homely youth. This young man was Abraham Lincoln, and the young lieutenant was Jefferson Davis, who administered to him the first oath of allegiance he ever took to the United States Government. Davis became President of the Confederate States, and Lincoln, President of the United States. And thus met for the first time the two jnen whose names have gone- sounding down the corridors of time — names never to be forgotten while time shall last. 64 In 1835 Mr. Davis resigned from the army and retired to private life in order to consummate his long-standing engagement to Miss Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter of Col. Zachary Taylor, after- wards President of the Ihiited States. Mr. Davis began his political career in r848, and later represented Mississippi in Congress. He loved the Union with a patriotic devotion, and never ceased to plead that it should not be destroyed. Colonel Davis commanded a regiment during the Mexican War, and he was severely wounded. After again retiring to private life, the Governor appointed him to the United States Senate from Mississippi. On one occasion, when Mr. Davis was comparing the regular army for defense with an army of volunteers, he said: As long as you keep the high-bred men for battle they will bear any privation, submit to every restraint, and discharge every duty, but you cannot expect these men who have broken all home ties in order to fight for their country to sacrifice themselves to the mere duty of the sentinel. This declaration was well proven in 1861-65. The Confed- erate Army was an army of high-bred men, and they were the ideal soldiers of the world. When the first blow was struck at the Union in 1845, Mr. Davis resigned his seat in the Senate to run for governor of Mississippi. On account of his broken health, however, he was defeated, but later he was appointed Secretary of War by President Pearce. In the opinion of every old officer of the United States Army, Jefferson Davis is considered the best as well as the greatest Secretary of War. The splendid stone aqueduct which supplies Washington City with its drinking water is a monument to his earnest labor and one of the great works he accomplished. The engineer who had charge of the great work under Mr. Davis had the impudence in his bigotry and zeal to have Mr. Davis ' name erased from the tablet on Cabin John Bridge. However, by the efforts of Mrs. Stone, President-General of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the name of Mr. Davis has been restored. Mr. Davis was astonished, when, in 1862, he received the news of his election as president of the Confederate States. He would not have accepted this honor had he followed his own inclina- tion, but his loyalty to the South, his love of the people, his devotion to duty, made him cast aside all thought of self and surrender himself to the good of his people and his beloved South. Mr. Davis has been criticised and slandered unjustly, on one side, by his enemies, and on the other by those who were ignorant of the facts and conditions that surrounded the case upon which he acted, and with which so much fault is found by his critics. After those twin monsters, hunger and starvation, forced our gates, no power but that of God could have stayed the collapse of the Confederacy. Had it not been for the guiding hand of Jefferson Davis upon the helm of the ship of state and the invincible sword of Robert E. Lee at the head of our army, our Appomattox would have come long before it did. When the end finally came, Mr. Davis wa? made the victim of the slander and hatred of the Northern pulpit and press. Mr. Davis was arrested and imprisoned in a cell at Fortress Monroe, ironed like a criininal by Gen. Nelson Miles. What cruel, inhuman treatment inflicted upon this broken old rnan, whose only crime was his love of liberty, justice, truth, and patriotism! He was kept in his cell and deprived of even the necessities of life for so long that even his torturers became ashamed of their cruelty and released him on bond. After he was released from prison he lived among the people of his beloved South, persecuted b}- the government which he helped to make great. He was deprived of citizenship, robbed of all civil rights; he was a man without a country. Yet he had a country: it was in the hearts of the Southern people. Jefferson Davis bore his misfortunes and sorrows with fortitude and resignation and, after a tempestuous and tragic life, he passed, in old age, consoled by a religious and holy hope to a serene and quiet end.

At high noon he was wont to light his lantern and stroll about the streets of Athens, in search, he said, of an honest man. In this way he advertised one of the prevailing failings of the classic (jreeks. For, among the ancients, the most successful merchant was the biggest skinflint. The cleverest buyer was the loudest haggler. There is no room for a cynic in modern advertising. Advertising, today, calls attention to the open-faced honesty of business. It has standardized almost every article you buy. You know what to expect and what to pay. You dont ' have to dicker, bargain, and haggle to know that you are getting as good as you give. That is why it pays to read advertisements and buy advertised goods. A product ' s advertising is the best guarantee of its faithful performance, its lasting usefulness, or its definite quality. ■ ■ If you value constant satisfaction — if you want to get your money ' s worth every time — read the advertisements. To take advantage of an advertisement is to get full value. 83 GREENVILLE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL OFFERS COURSES IN English History Mathematics Physics, Biology, French, Latin Commercial Studies Domestic Science General Science Drawing an d M usic IT HAS ACTIVE STUDENTS AT WORK IN DEBATING.
