26 THE BLACK AND GOLD NOELL HOLLAND Alternate on Debating Team; Member of Athletic Association. Awake, Spring, and tune your ears to the soft music that flows from the words of poetry; for Noel speaks, and the bards keep silent. Even in his debates, each gesture, each finished phrase, portrays the work of a genius. What a pity that Shakespeare was born first! HOWARD FULTON Secretary and Treasurer of the Athletic Association; Marshal of Calvin H. Wiley Literary Society, Section B; Chairman of Senior Social Committee; Mem- ber of Football Team; Member of Basketball Team. “Of all the boys that are so sweet, there’s none like pretty Howard.” “Steamboat” looks like a reincarnated, buxom, country girl; round-faced, pink-cheeked, and pug-nosed, but a finer boy does not exist. He is a good student, preparing his lessons with the same old constant plugging that is characteristic of him on the football field and everywhere else. He will al- ways remain the same depend- able Fulton that he is, as good tomorrow as he is today. He evidently intends to be married some day and wishes to be pre- pared; for he has begun practice already.

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.

THE BLACK AND GOLD 27 JAMES CONRAD President of Athletic Association ; Vice-President and Chairman of Executive Committee of Calvin H. Wiley Literary Society, Sec- tion B; Member of Football Team; Assistant Manager of Basketball Team; Associate Editor of Black and Gold. Jim is just six feet one inch of pure boy,—not the boisterous kind, but with enough fun in his anatomy to make him a live wire. He is a good student and one that takes great interest in school life. For his ability as a football player, we refer our readers to Greensboro’s center. PHIN HORTON Chairman of Executive Commit- tee of The Pickwick Players; Member of Football Team; Mem- ber of Athletic Association; As- sociate Editor of Black and Gold; Member of Black and Gold Joke Committee. The motto of “Feet” is “Eat, ride, and be merry; for tomorrow we eat, ride, and be merry some more.”; He seems to have a marked antipathy for all kinds of books, except the check and memory kind. As to his athletic career, all we can say is that he played tackle on the football team dnd that a favorite name of his among adversaries was “Slaughter-house Phin’. His patron saint must be Barney Old- field; for his love of speeding is only exceeded by the size of his feet.
