24 THE BLACK AND GOLD JULIAN BUXTON Treasurer of Class; Vice-Presi- dent and Chairman Executive Committee Calvin H. Wiley Literary Society, Section A; President of The Pickwick Play- ers; Associate Editor of Black and Gold; Class Historian; Man- ager and Member of Football Team; Member of Athletic As- sociation; Member of Student Council. “Juba” is the highest type of school boy. He is a hard worker at everything he undertakes, whether in school or out. In football, he is as good a tackle as he is a half-back, which would be saying a great deal for any person playing either position. Although quiet, he is not devoid of a sense of humor. He will make some girl an excellent husband. PASS FEARRINGTON Captain of Football Team; Mem- ber of Basketball Team; Mem- ber of Athletic Association; Member of The Pickwick Players. “Fatty”, which nick-name is most inappropriate, unless it re- fers to his head, is an athlete the like of whom is seldom found. As captain of our football team, he proved his ability in that line of sport until his career was ended by an accident. His equal as a basketball guard is not to be found in the State; and, unusual as it may seem, he is a good student also. Fatty’s athletic ability is only exceeded by his freshness and love of practical jokes.

THE BLACK AND GOLD 23 S. CICERO OGBURN Director of High School Orches- tra; Member of Athletic Associa- tion; Member of Debating Team. “Yon white light is not the morning’s eye; ’tis but the pale reflex of Cicero’s brow.” Shake- speare might have worded his lines like this and then they would have been truly poetic. “Cis” is the proud possessor of a very ample supply of very white hair. The reason that he is so proud is that he and How- ard Fulton are the only posses- sors of such wool known to civilization. Cicero not only has white hair. He beats a fiddle—I mean, plays a violin. But it all amounts to the same thing, judg- ing from the result produced. He also debates. At the mention of the word “Railroad” he will rise, roll up his sleeves, and prepare for mortal combat. PERCY) POWELL Member of Debating Team; Member of Athletic Association ; Member of The Pickwick Play- ers; Press Reporter of Calvin H. Wiley Literary Society, Section B; Winner of McIver Declama- tion Cup. When one hears the word “Red!” called, the picture of a perpetual grin o’ertopped by a crimson thatch at once comes to mind. That is Percy. In this short little body rests the soul of a debater “par excellentia”’. His ambition is to “Patrick Henry it” through life. When he rises to his climax in a speech, the audi- torium rings with the echoes of his resonant tones and his op- ponents begin to beg for mercy for Red is “little but he’s loud”.

THE BLACK AND GOLD 25 ROBERT FRY Member of Athletic Association. Rob should never have been called anything but “pinkie”. His face is as red as Percy Powell’s hair. Rob has never had any time for High School athletics and the like. But he prepares his lessons and stays good-humored, which is more than most people can do. HARRY WEAVER Member of Typewriting Team; Member of Athletic Association. Harry is one of those rare products that knows exactly what his business is and attends to it. Leave him alone with his beloved Remington (or is it Underwood ?) and he will be content. He is the greatest living exponent of the “Hunt and Peck One Finger Typing System’. “Snipe” also has the local record for the big- gest bag of snipes ever caught.
