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.

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

He is a mean between two extremes ; he is a true exponent of Kinston Hi; he is four-square; and, because he will never go off at a tangent, coincides with our idea of the boy who, in any right triangle, will be the hypotenuse. Q. E. D. HELEN MOSELEY Music Club (2. 4) : Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) ; Class Basket-ball (4). ••The girl who wins is the girl who works — The girl who toils while the next one shirks.” One who is willing to help you with your Latin, ready to make a correction on your French paper, to review your History, to give you some points on English, to straighten out a Geometry proposition, or explain an original — that’s Helen. No truer friend nor more lovable pal could be found in all K. LI. S.
