Ile is the finest gen- tleman of them all. The kid specializes in high grades and merit marks, and never fails to knock a home run or two in the examination series. Mem- ber of the Il. S. play. 'l-1-'15, Il. S. basket ball team, '14-'15g captain, '15, A guard on the basket hall team, whose close guarding drove terror into the hearts of all opposing powers and whose wield- ing of thetennis raclfets is sure to count up in points for him.

ELSIE SCOTT: Miss Elsie Scott, or Miss Seat. as she is frequently called, is a member of all the social functions ol' li. ll. S., among them the Glee Club.

Member of the Athletic Club, center for the as- piring R. H. S. basket ball team, and a promising baseball man. This studious youth, being crowned at his feet, has become a sky-scraper.

Despite the unfavorable conditions here, we de- veloped a promising first team. The players were Lavon Hall, Captain and guardg Emory Bean. guardg Dwight Brooks, centerg Glenn Pom-r, for, wardg and Orville Morgan, forward. The team played well, and they could handle the Lewisville second team. On the night ot' February 13th, Ral- eigh's first team journeyed to Lewisville to meet their seconds. The game was one-sided from begin- ning to end. Raleigh team won. After this en- gagement, we organized a second team andnon the night of March 12th, both teams ,journeyed to Fair- view. Again the Raleigh crowd won. The teams improved very fast and on the night of March 26th, both teams went again to Fairviewg their second time in one season to play their first and second team. At this time Raleigh did not meet with so good success, for both teams were defeated. Both games were rough. Fate was against us, two of our boys being in no shape at the beginning of the games, and another being knocked out by their roughness, they won by a rising score in the second hal . R. H. S. Others.

Great progress was made in the algebra class under Mr. Fox and in the Latin Work under Mr. Marlatt. Most of the class were exempt in Latin and Algebra the first semester. At the beginning of the second semester we lost one of our class in Latin. Page twenty-eight At the beginning of our Sophomore year one was added to our class, Edgar Dean McMath. We pro- gressed very nicely until Christmas, at which time one of class deserted us.
