a A AN ‘BA @ Al Bax ,Aa—-a § we Zea AB a: aS ee es Parr On September 5, 1920, we came back in full force as Juniors, with more class spirit than ever before and with the determination to make our class the best in high school for the next two years. With the help of Miss Talbutt, our room teacher for the year, we organized our class. Eddie Perkins was elected President; Edwin Eberman, Treasurer; and Elaine Goode, Secretary. In Febru- ary, with the aid of Miss Goode and Miss Talbutt, we gave our class play, the proceeds of which went to entertain the Seniors and Faculty near the close of school. Part IV With Miss Mildred Satterfield again as our guide, we are now “dignified Seniors” on the “home stretch” of our long four years race, almost ready to grasp those coveted Diplomas hanging alluringly in front of us. At the beginning of the year our former officers were unanimously reelected. However, the first of the year brought a deep regret to all of us, for Elaine, the best class-mate of all, moved to Reidsville leaving us minus a Secretary. Later “your humble scribe” was chosen secretary in her place. Now the class of ’22 bids farewell to the High School that is so dear to the hearts of its members.

—— —EDWIN EBERMAN VR Lhe Prophecy All Things Come to Him Who Waits That is if they wait long enough and truly my time of waiting had been long and tedious, after ten years of hard work and worry the height of my ambition was reached—to travel in every country of the world and to Paris and the Rivera for a season. A few days after my return to this country I was glancing over the head- lines of a Washington paper when I saw the line, “Woman Senator from North Carolina.” From North Carolina interested me so I read on, “Washington 1s very much excited over the election of Miss Eva Newton as Senator from North Carolina. This shows the great influence of the nation wide suffrage movement. This is the highest honor ever bestowed on a Carolina woman before. Every one is quite sure that Miss Newton will fill her office most successfully. This set me to thinking what had become of all my old classmates. I had not heard: from any of them since I started on my trip over two years ago. | finally decided to save all of the clippings from newspapers, about my old friends, that I could find, and then make a scrap book of them. Daily I scanned the columns of the leading papers and clipped the articles that I found about the old classmates, and pasted them in my book. Before long I had formed a “Memory Book” which contained the following clippings and comments: New York Sportinc NEws “Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth H.
