She always meets you with a smile and a kind word. Although Mattie never studies she manages to get by with all her classes. She has great hopes of becoming a missionary, but we are afraid they will be side-tracked by some dashing young hero. RUBY IRENE SHRUM Hller gentle speech, her modest ways. Left others to award the praise. Une would have to hnd a sweeter and nobler girl than Irene. She has a wide circle of friends who love her for her true worth. She is not only sweet but capable, is able to do anything from run- ning a car to sing in the the Glee Club. lrene's greatest ambition is to become a great musician. I-lere's hoping it will be accomplished. CYNTHIA IQATHERINE XVI-HTENER In her heart the dew of youth, On her lips the smile of youth. Katherine is one of those people one always likes to know. She is full of fun, a good sport, and also one with whom confidence is safe. She is very attractive, has her full share of school spirit, and is always present at all school activities. LEMUEL LEE WETMORE There is no wisdom like franknessf' Lem did not exactly take to his studies like a duck to water, but instead became interested in more worthy things-ath- letics.

Her seeming indifference which is her greatest handicap is overcome by her being able to keep friends when once made. We hardly know what to predict for her but the past and present foretell a brilliant future. The Class of 1922 is distinctly the gainer by her belonging to it. MABEL CATHERINE Rnomzs She's a darling in many ways. Mabel is that very attractive girl with golden hair and blue eyes, who always seems so happy. She can smile any- where, any time and never worries about studies. She is a very good worker, how- ever, and has won her way to the hearts of the faculty and students:-, ESTELLE RUDISILL She's a bonny wee thingg She's a Winsome wee thing. Estelle possesses attractiveness and womanly grace in a greater degree than learning. But she can be excused for this, for she simply cannot study when any of the stronger sex are around. She has a smile for everyone and is always in a good humor. They say she can dance well, too. In spite of all her faults she lives up to her name. The prettiest and most popular girl in the class.

YJ Senior lass ilefturp The fall of 1918 will be remembered for two great events: Une the signing of the Armistice on November ll, and the other, which precedes it, was the en- trance of the present Senior Class into the potrals of the Lincolnton High School. Fifty-six strong in number, we lined up-the butt of the jokes of the Sophomores at that time. Granting that we may have been timid, shy, and green, and that we may have gone after strap oil, and on such fool's errands, but we soon over- came our verdant qualities under the constant admonition and scolding of the teachers. VVe were welcomed by Miss MacKay, our teacher, whom everyone loved from the very beginning. Immediately we began the study of Latin and algebra which, as Sidney thinks, is hardly worth the amount of energy required to pass it. In the fall of our Freshman year the influenza epidemic was raging. School was closed for three weeks, in which time the building was converted into a temporary hospital, and our own classroom was used for the main ward. XVhen we returned it was hard for us to resume our studies, but after an interminable period of drudgery, May finally came. Completing our examinations satisfac- torily and receiving our promotion cards we, forgetful of the grind of the school- room, left with our minds fixed upon the pleasures of vacation and the high hopes of the Elysian ease that belongs to Sophomores. High wages, adventure, the summer moon, and other sirens had enticed twenty-six of our number to fall by the wayside, but thirty strong we greeted our new superintendent, Mr. Johnson, in the fall of 19l9. For the first few months it was with fear and trembling that we braved his commands. Miss Leach ground our noses on her mathematical grindstone until we thought we knew algebra back- wards and forwards while, during this courting stage of our history, Miss Snow was forever giving interesting lectures on our affinities-elective and otherwise. Representatives from our class were found on the baseball and basketball teams. We also furnished good debators, orators, and musicians. Everything moved along smoothly, at least we thought so, and the end of the term soon came, as all good things must end. Another summer passed and we reassembled with recuperated energies. Our number was reduced to eighteen but we soon welcomed three new members. NVe began to have some conception of the realities of life. and could not afford to shirk the duties that devolved upon us. But in our industrious life we did not forget recreation. Un a bright October morning we journeyed to High Shoals and enjoyed the day in boat-riding and in dodging Cupid's arrows. This year 23
