Volume 4 June, 1928 oiw9rd As we come to the close of an- other year, the nth in the his- tory of Kinston High School, we attempt to chronicle m pic- ture and story the events of the past year. We, the Class of 1 928, have endeavored to make this book a true Kay-Aitch-ELss of our fourth and last year in our beloved Alma Mater. May this book find its justification in bringing to mind the sweet memories of the glorious asso- ciations and privileges which the Kinston Hi students enjoy. DEDICATION Because it is the desire of the student body of Grainger High School ; Because he is a man of rich personality, vital inspiration, and deep sympathy ; Because he has set for us a standard which, if faithfully followed, will lead us to the acquisition of those accomplishments essential to noble citizenship ; We, the student body, dedicate this, the fourth volum of our an- nual, to F.

GRAINGER HIGH SCHOOL KAY-AITCH-ESS it Imorlam Pajinp Mnoten Munter Far off ihou art, but ever nigh; Methinks my friend is richly shrined; Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more.” On the morning of July 9, 1927, a loved and valued one was taken from Kinston High School. The voice of the Almighty called, and amidst the singing of the angels Payne Wooten Hunter went to eternal rest. The value cf Payne Hunter can be understood when his brilliant scholastic record is thought of, his ever loyal de- votion to his school, the wonderful school spirit which he always showed, and his high moral standard of life. His popularity never lapsed, but ever grew stronger among his friends and those whc ' knew him. Though we bow to the will of the Father, we are deeply grieved at the loss of one who was ever true to the principles for which he stood. Euelijn ilattljema ifatcra A faithful worker and loving comrade of the Class of 1928, who was called to rest January 30, 1926. In recognition of what she was during her short stay with us, and what she promised to be in the future, we dedicate this space in our Kay-Aitch-Ess. N1 5s CituoYia m jt.

We thought it quite a long hop and it took us a long time to become accustomed to our surroundings. We experienced many trials and disappointments and were the subjects of many jokes, but we were soon to learn that we must grin and bear it. Then one day our dear school building was destroyed by flames and we were “Orphans of the Storm” seeking a new abode. Word came that a new family of Freshmen would come and occupy our new home — so we moved on to Sophomore Hill. Here we labored and struggled, finally to be the victors of Algebra and English, and we moved on once again, this time to Junior Heights. Life was new and strange, for we had a beautiful new’ building in which to live and work. This was a busy year at Junior Heights, for we had much to do. We chose our class officers and selected our class rings, and then came the Junior-Senior banquet; this will ever live in the minds of our class. Then news came that we must move on once more, this time to “Senior Reserve.” Th ' s was a long, tiresome journey, but we were successful in landing. “Here at last!” shouted Mamie Hines, as w’e landed, and Grace Brown, who is always original, replied, “And isn ' t it cute?” This year was the hardest, but we were soon repaid for our hardships because along came the Junior-Senior banquet. This was a most enjoyable affair, as it was held at the New Hotel, the pride of Kinston. We Seniors did not go to Washington at Easter as was customary but planned to go in June. When we graduated we left our brothers and sisters to carry on while we w’ent out to explore the world and gain more knowledge. Histori. n. It was a year ago today that I had what I consider the most interesting of experiences. It had been my delight and privilege to spend some time abroad. I ha d visited many places and seen many strange things. At last I reached Egypt — Egypt, the land of mystery, the land of secrets. When our caravan started slowly across the desert, I felt as if I were under a spell. The feeling was strange, mystical. I could not analyze it. It lasted for several days during which time my mind kept revolving about my old classmates. It was impossible for me to direct my thoughts in other channels, however hard I might try. But the thoughts were pleasant, and not having heard the fate of some of the members of the Class of ’28, I began to wonder. One evening when the sun was sinking red beneath the western sands, we made camp in a beautiful, green oasis. I learned from one of the camel drivers that we were in the vicinity of the Pyramids and the Sphinx. A thought came to me. I determined to make a pilgrimage to the Sprinx that night and send forth an invocation concerning my friends and classmates. I procured a guide and we set out just as the desert moon made her appearance. We soon reached our destination. I bade my guide wait for me behind one of the pyramids while I accomplished my mission. With my heart beating madly, I bow ' ed down in the awful presence of the Sphinx. For the space of a minute, I was at a loss what to say, but at last words came to me. I spoke : “O mighty Solver of Mysteries and Discloser of Secrets, reveal unto me, I pray, what I would know, that I may tell my people.” I was startled by an awful sound. The Sphinx spoke; “Hasten, and thou shalt know. Evolved Protoplasm.” “Kinston High School,” I said. “Dost thou know it and the destiny of those that went forth fr om its portals in the year 1928, O Awful Intelligence?” “I know ' well that institution of learning and the destinies of thy classmates, O Atom of Nothingness! Listen and I will reveal my knowledge unto thee.” Then the Sphinx discussed in the following manner: “Presumptuous Mortal, hear then that which has befallen your classmates in the last decade. “Mme. Gladys Stroud, a Metropolitan Opera star, will make her first appearance on the concert stage of France, October 6, 1938. Mme. Stroud is the favorite dramatic soprano of today. She has sung in many parts of the Old World and America is at her feet. “Thou already knowest, O Groveler in the Dust, that John Mewborn is president of the United States, for thou cast thy paltry vote for him. 31 “Dorothy Raymore is an author.

State of North Carolina, County of Lenoir, City of Kinston. We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-eight of Kinston High School, aforesaid state and county, being in sound mind and full possession of all our faculties, do hereby make, declare, and publish this document as our last will and testament. We realize that our goal has been reached, preparatory to enrolling ourselves in the great school of life, and now it Is our desire to dispose of several assets, privileges, and rights in the following manner, to wit: First, we direct that the funeral services for the senior privileges be conducted by the school board, only provided they be carried out with all the dignity and pomp which they merit. Item I. To our beloved Alma Mater we leave undying gratitude for the many noble services she has rendered us since we first entered her majestic doors of learning as green and ignorant freshmen. Item II. We shall always hold a permanent place in our hearts for our faculty, who have labored, in vain we fear, to teach us the ways of the world. If only we may be ah ' e to pass the good work on to the coming generation, we shall not feel that the work of this faculty was to no purpose. Item III. Section — To the Juniors, who shall soon take our places, we do bequeath all rights, privileges, and dignity of the Seniors, together with the right to publish the Kay-Aitch-Ess, our school annual, and the Connecting Link, our school paper. It is our will that they make the best use possible of proverbial senior dignity, hoping they may become a better class than we have been able to be. Section 2 — To the Sophomores, we hereby leave all good counsel, wisdom and advice that we have been able to awiuire from various sources during the past four (4) years, and refer them during our absence to the future faculty. Section j — Whereas, the Freshman Class has become so prominent in affairs pertaining to the school, we advise that they make full use of our store of common sense, authorizing the superin- tendent to give them a diploma in three years, certifying that they have acquired all of the common sense willed to them by the Class of ’28. Lastly, we nominate the superintendent to execute this, our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we, the Senior Class of 1928, have to this last will and testament set our hands and seal, this the first day of June, anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and twenty- eight, hereby revoking and making void all other wills made heretofore by us.
