WILLIAM HINSON Literary Club (2) : Athletic Association (3) ; Current History Club (4). “Life is but a span; I’ll enjoy every inch of it.” Bill is one of the finest fellows we have ever known — a thorough gentleman, who does not care to be in the limelight, but is ever willing to do his part for a worthy cause. SOPHIE IIOBGOOD Basket-ball 1 2, 3, 4) : Captain of Basket-ball Team (4) ; Class Basket-ball (1. 4i ; Athletic Association (3, 4) ; Athletic Editor of Kay- Aitct-t-Ess (4) : Track (1) ; Vice-President of Dramatic Cluh (4) ; JIusic Club (1. 2). “Independent, full of fun ; An athlete, Weed by everyone.” There are several Sophies that we have come to know and love: Number 1 is the splendid student who, for four years, has stood among the first of our class ; number 2 is our cracker jack athlete — ' 27’s basket-ball captain; and number 3, the one everybody knows, is the sum total of these boiled down and well-mixed with all the qualities it takes to make a good sport. If we had to forecast Sophie’s future, we’d say “fair and warmer” and then we’d supplement that with “sunny.” ESSIE HUMPHREY Dramatic Club (2, 4). “When she i Dili, she will; And you may depend on that,” If we were not afraid of Miss Daniels and Mr. Wooley, we would use the trite ex- pression “Still waters run deep” in connec- tion with Essie. Though quiet and unob- trusive, she has won a place in our hearts. KERMIT HUMPHREY Secretary of Dramatic Club (41 : Activity Ed- itor Iyay-Aitcii-Ess (4) ; Class Prophet (4) ; Athletic Association (3) ; Freshman Editor Kay-Aitch-Ess (1). “He holds the rank no king can give, no sta- tion can disgrace; Nature puts forth her gentleman, and monarchs in ust give place.” Ye class of Twenty-Seven be Glad to be able to Acknowledge Kermit Humphrey as a Member of our Class and to bid him God- speed. Be it known that he hath wrested from the Powers That Be in ye Kinston Highe Schule, bis sheepskin in three and one-half years, which be in itself a Recom- mendation. 16

VIRGINIA GEORGE Dramatic Club (2) : Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) : Alumnae Editor cf Connecting Link (4) : Glee Club (4). Those winkable, b linkable , merrily t winkable, simply unthinkable eyes.” If you want to see a specimen of bound- less energy, pep, and enthusiasm, just take a look at the young lady opposite. To this we can add that she has a merry disposition, r keen wit, and a quantity of grey matter. THELMA HALL Secretary of Class (2) : Glee Club ( 2, 4 i ; Presi- dent of Declamation Club (2) : Vice-President of Class (3) : Editor-in-Chief of Kay-Aitch-Ess (4) : Athletic Association (4l ; Associate Ed- itor of Connecting Link (3) ; Reporter of Con- necting Link (2). “A pretty girl, a witty girl; A girl so full of fun; .4 brainy girl, a carefree girl — A thousand girls in one.” What words can do justice to Thelma more than her honors and the little quotation? Thelma likes history and English, but if there was never any more Math, life would flow along like a song for her. PHARON HEATH Basket-ball (1, 2. 4) : Track Team 111 : Ath- letic Association (4) : Music Club (4). “Sweet and petite, A little conceit.” Though built on a small plan, Pharon can rise to an occasion in a great way, whether it be in a tight place in basket-ball or on exam that must be passed with the mini- mum amount of preparedness. CHARLOTTE ' HILL Rasket-ball (4. 5) : Reporter of Connecting Link (4) : Reporter Kay-Aitch-Ess (1.3) ; Glee Club (1. 2. 4) : Athletic Association (2, 3. 4) ; Dramatic Club (1. 2) : Secretary Class (3) ; Class Basket-ball (3, 4). “Or light, or dark, or short, or tall, She sets a spring to snare them all.” When Charlotte goes out from our high school, she will be remembered as one who has entered into every activity of school life. In athletics, scholarship and school-spirit, Charlotte always shines. 15

DORIS JOHNSON Glee Club (4) : Athletic Association (4). “Be tiled of life, because it gives you chance to love , work and plait- ' ’ Doris has filled a place in our class which, when vacated, will be hard to refill. As is always the case, however, someone’s loss is someone’s gain, so we send Doris out with wishes for her success and congratu- lations for the world on its gain. LUCILLE KILPATRICK Track (2) : Basket-ball 12. 3) : Class Basket- ball (2) : Glee Club (2, 4) : Athletic Associ- ation (2, 4) ; Connecting Link Staff (4). “Hang sorrow ; care killed the cat ; Therefore, let ' s be merry.” Victrola, did you say? Well, here’s our improved Orthoplionic! And she has as many records” as there are possible moods. There is no in-between for Lucille — she’s either positive or negative. She is one of our electrical Pep wires. VIRGINIA LANE Literary Club (2. 4). “In every rank, or great or small; ' Tis industry supports us all.” Speaking about sweet dispositions and maidenly modesty, Virginia would get it every time. No one has ever happened to catch her when she was not just as sweet and gentle as could be — and that is quite an accomplishment if you want our opinion. MARY ALICE LAWS Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) ; Music Club (2, 4). “Things are bound to happen — why worry? Everything comes to him who waits; Why hurry?” A steadfastness of purpose, a faithfulness in performing tasks, these are characteris- tics of Mary Alice. May she carry these into her future life and so insure success for herself.
