Strive and ° hrive (Class Poem of the Class of 1933) Our future days, we greet you. Your song is in the air. Well follow faith and hold tt, In spite of times of care. The path of life is winding. It leads through joy and tears. We'll press on, bravely onward, With courage through the years. Gray skies may stretch above us, But they will change their hue. There are still fields to harvest. There are still tasks to do. We turn our faces forward. We greet our future way. We shall look up, not downward. We'll strive, and thrive, and pray! HELEN TRAFFORD MOORE

CLASS HISTORY By Roy CHANDLER v HE CLASS OF 1933 was formed in the school year of 1930-31. Miss Helen Moore was the teacher at that time. One member of the class, Nellie Bowman, had to leave school on account of bad sight. Edgar Winecoff and Louise Willis would have been in this class, but both of them remained at home one year, so they had to drop back into another class. It now consists of seven boys. Edward Walton Farnell, the class president, is from Jacksonville, Onslow County, N. C. He was born at Hubert, Onslow County, October 28, 1915. He lost his hearing at the age of five months from whooping cough. Entering school in 1922, he has never failed to make his grades and has usually led his class. He is especially fond of science. Physics has been his favorite subject. He likes to read Tarzan books. He is full of fun and enjoys playing jokes on the other boys. He has never taken much interest in sports, but he is very active and enjoys swimming, hiking and ‘possum hunting. He likes to tramp through the woods and go fishing. He has been trained as a linotype operator. This fall he hopes to enter Gallaudet College in Washington. He has not decided what his life work will be but he will likely be a printer. Wallace Alfred Kinlaw, vice president of the class, is from Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NES C. Lumberton, N. C., and lost his hearing at the age of five from an attack of scarlet fever. He came to school for the first time in 1922, Mrs. Kennedy being his first teacher. He was trans- ferred to the advanced departmet in September 1925. His favorite studies have been history, algebra and physics. His favorite sports are football, baseball and swimming, his pastime reading books of the brave knights of the Round Table of King Arthur and books about pioneers. His hobby is collecting stamps. He has been He was born on October 5, 1915 in ’ a Boy Scout for nearly six years and takes much interest in Scout work. He is now a Star Scout, but he hopes to win more merits on basketry, stamp collection and civics. Edward Farnell and he entered school at the same time and have been chums since their first year in school. They have been together in all the grades, learning the same trade, printing, playing the same sports together and have been roommates during their entire school life. One of their greatest ambi- tions has been to be students of Gallaudet College, this they expect to do next fall. Wallace has had five years’ training in the printing office and hopes that he will be able to secure a posi- tion as a linotype operator in some big printing office after he has completed his college course. Roy Henderson Chandler, the class secretary, is a native of Person County. He was born in a log cabin eight miles from Roxboro, N. C. November 22, 1913. He was born deaf. He came to Goodwin Hall in the fall of 1922 at the age of eight and entered Main Building in the fall of 1925. His first teacher at Goodwin Hall was Miss Kathleen Scott and he remembers that the first word he learned was “‘top.”’ When he was in the third grade, he had whooping cough and was very ill. He was sent home for five months. With that exception, he has been in school regularly. His favorite studies are current events and algebra. His favorite pastime is reading the newspapers and magazines. On account of his wise looks and dignified manner, he is nicknamed “Professor”, but his teacher often calls him “ Parson.” He has poor eyesight and for this reason he has taken very little part in sports. Walking is his chief exercise and he enjoys swimming and hiking to the moun- tains. He has been trained in the printing office for five years and hopes to secure a good position as a printer when he goes out in the world.
