And there in the sunset splendor With its radiance shining far, VVe waited, musing dreamily, For the gleam of the evening star. T hou star that glowest softly now Midst sunset's fading glory, Bring thou to me the words to tell My simple little story. Thou art much like our guiding star, The spirit of our school- The star we've known and learned to love Beneath its gentle rule. That star came first to us when we Entered the portals wide Of A. H. S., which e'er will be Dear to our hearts and pride. And to us treasures fair it brought, Than jewels much more dear, In the gift of all most coveted- That of friendship sincere. I2 And what if our theorems and theses Were not so quickly learned? Our teacher taught us lessons which I doubt if they discerned. They taught us we must always be To the best in life most true, And see through the misty, glooming, clouds Thebit of sky thatls blue. O star, thou spirit of our school, NVe come to say farewell- But ere we go, to thee our thanks For thy kind gleam we'd tell. And in those dreamed of after years Our minds will turn back to thee, And once more we'll live these happy days In our loving memory. Now the glow has faded from Pisgah's height And the soft night shadows fall- I shall linger by the warm iirelight While I hark to rnemory's call: But let us then be done with dreaming Of those days that once have been, And let the dawning find us living The ideals they taught us then. 8'l

E FEBRUARY CLASS ,55- . C PROPHE Y . I amd U wnuuf FRANCIS HAYES SPENT so much time on this prophecy-in fact, I thought so hard--that the home folks made me stop, because the smell of burning wood made the rooms have the odor of a furniture factory. I finally came to the quite natural con- clusion that a prophet, in order to prophesy, must have first, something to prophesy about, and second, a backing to his prophecy. Vertebrae are as essential to a prophecy as to so-called human beings-Darwinian, Bryanian, or otherwise. So I will back my prophecies upon what Congressman Upshaw once told the school in chapel. It was this: You will be what you are now becoming. If this be true, then Allah be with some of our February class. As to something to prophesy about, I think I shall take each separate member of this class. There is only a few of us, but, nevertheless, we expect to set the world on tire. We are diverse and-sundry enough to make everything of our- selves from school teachers to criminals, and from firemen to sailors. So, therefore, having watched the extraordinary grace with which Doughty Os- borne dances, I predict that he will be Arthur Murray II, that from the way in which Dorothy Osborne is now acting that she will be quite old when she marries, probably twenty-one, that Basil Morris, who would be the logical valedictorian of our class tif it weren't for his teachers giving him low gradesj will be a professor at Annapolis, that Wayne Bramlett will some day put the Marinello System into bankruptcy with his t'nature's methodu natural wave, that Chick Brooker will make Nat Goodwin look like a forty-five year old bachelor, and Carlisle Smith will make Bluebeard look the same, T. Atkinson will marry and settle down- for a while. Then he'll rig up a Ford and start on an autour du mondefl He'll be t'famously known around Asheville under the alias of Robert R. Reynolds Atkinsonf' He may create as great a stir as Robert himself did. As to dis- tance, it means nothing to him, he may get as far away as Gaffney, S. C., but as that is out of civilization, it is not likely. Bruce Bryan will explore the wilds of some as yet unexplored country. He says he has the call i291 of the explorer in his blood, heaving like steam. As yet he doesnlt know whether to explore the dense wilds of Africa or the much worse wild and woolly place called Yancey, where men shoot first and argue afterwards , where inspiration Hows as freely as HOH, much to the misery of the worshippers of Grape juice. We wish him a merry trip and a happy funeral. Welre glad that explorer's blood heaves not in our veins. Stewart Rogers will make the first basketball team easy-if he plays steady from now until both of the Smith Brothers of cough-drop fame get a shave. Marie Brueggeman will be a great lexicographer. She will attain great heights in lexicography, but the apex of her career will be arrived at when she concentrates her efforts upon a book named some- thing like this: 'tThe Art of Interpellating Super- fluous Words in Common Names, or How to Russianizef' Results guaranteed. Mary Willis will be a great humorist-or should we say humorette ? Thelma Guthrie will be a great clubwoman-almost as good as Maggie. Mildred Sawyer and Vera Brown, having never used face powder in their respective lives, will some day originate a back-to-Eve-face movement. In the near future Helen Sneed will gain as much fame as Dorothy Dix telling wives how to control their husbands and at the same time not lose them, provided she never gets married. This may seem strange at first, but when we remember that the man who wrote the greatest poem ever written on The Beautiful Mountainsl' lived on a prairie all his life, the mystery is clear as mud. It is a well-known fact that astronomy is a study of the stars and that one who studies the stars is an astronomer. So, therefore, I predict that Addie Goldsmith will be an astronomer, for when I consider the time she spend studying movie stars-especially of the sexus masculinus-I don't see that her calling could lie in any other field. , Francis Hayes will go 'through college and learn Latin thoroughly, then he will come back to Kiibler 81 Whitehead's meat market to wait on all the Roman customers. I have been very conservative on the above
