He works more over smart things to say than he does his lessons. Yet why should he worry for if he has not seen his lessons he will bluff the teachers so they readily have a mental picture of “Horn” burning the mid-night oil. He has brains galore, but will not work them unless it 4s absolutely necessary. Paul is especially in- terested in athletics and has starred_in many baseball games of the season. He is plan- ning to pursue a course in Civil Engineering and here’s to wish him the best of luck. “EB’en though vanquished he could argue Sil Marrie Evizapetu Harcuerr Member of W. IL. S., 722.

She is lively and attractive and al- ways full of fun. If you look the world over for an “honest-to-goodness” friend you could find none truer, more generous or more unselfish than Mattie. She is always ready to do her part in helping the class carry out its plans either when it is some- thing that takes work to be got up or when there is a little fun ahead. With one ac- cord, we unite in wishing for her a future made bright with success and happiness. “4 true friend is forever a friend,” PAGE SEVENTEEN Va eae WARY % e Katy Enoise PERKINS Marshal, °22.

Katy is a rare combination of talent and lovableness that is mighty hard to beat. Her interest in all student affairs has made her worthy of the title ‘best-all-around” for she is the kind you always find in the midst of everything from helping with the Little Re- porter to presiding over the girl’s Athletic Association of which she is president. She is very dignified, reserved, and studious. With her ready winning smile she has made scores of friends among her classmates and fellow-students. Katy has a great ambition to become a musician and during her high school course has displayed remarkable skill as a student of music. “With gentle yet prevailing force Intent wpon her destined course.” PAGE —EDWIN EBERMAN VR Tuomas Haywoop Rospsins Marshal, °22.

Earl is a good student and a hard worker, best of all he meets the world with a smile and is a friend to all. To him there are no difficulties. Karl has been with us only one year but his work has been excellent. With the ladies he certainly lives up to the tradi- tions of a gentleman. His handsome coun- tenance and charming brown eyes have a strong fascination for the damsels, and they lead him a merry chase. A boy of Earl’s type will succeed at whatever he undertakes. “T have faith in a boy that blushes.” PAGE Sa —EDWIN dr EBERMAN VR ——_—- ANNIE BELLE THAXTON Member of W. L. S., ’22.

You would imagine Annie Belle quiet and dignified but her friends will hardly agree. We know her to be one of the jollist girls of our class, just full to th brim of fun. She dearly loves a good time in schoo! and does not believe in wasting words on trivial subjects, hence her voice is seldom heard above the chatter of our “Jingual machin- ery.” Now at the close of her high school eareer, she still remains the smallest in statue of our class but not the smallest in importance by any means. “Better be small and shine, than large and cast a shadow.” NINETEEN my ot { : : Frances THOMPSON Manager and Captain of Basketball!

Although Frances has been with us only two years and a half, because of her unusual personality and lovable disposition, she has won for herself the love and admiration of all the students and teachers of R. H. S. The casual observer considers Frances to be unusually quiet and dignified but her friends know her to be brimming over with life and fun. As to her ability, she has a plenty. She was appointed editor-in-chief of the Little Reporter and Rocket and we feel sure no one can manage these impor- tant positions better than she. Frances en- ters whole-heartedly into whatever she does and we feel sure she will attain the great things that we wish her to. “Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her.” PAGE CQL Zaz 4 D8 Boe LF A xT Clee 2B ae Z | a ae al ZB eax |e Z 4s 4A 6 ao Bz Bez Z A eZ Say Sa oy = A ?@ amide Re TWE Neuiuiz Eva Wane Member of Wi. 1.

Those who are fortunate enough to enjoy the friendship of Nellie will tell you that the longer you know her the better you like her. She is a faithful worker and a splen- did student, who holds the respect of both Faculty and Students. Music is Nellie’s forte but her ability is such that would en- able her to be fitted for most any field. She believes in taking life as it comes and sel- dom worries over anything. We _ predict that her strong personality and high ideals will bring her great success in whatever she undertakes. “Ambition has no rest.’ INTY TINITNN 72) al Sui ee —EDWIN -23- EBERMAN VR aS-Re. et Joun Winitam Vanuook Member of Athletic Association, ’21-’22-’23.

He has long since been a victim of Cupids dart, and it does not matter where he is his winning smile attracts the opposite sex. Even though Willie has not entered into the school activities he has been interested in them. We wish for him a bright career in his study of pharmacy. Does not take full course; wills not get diploma. “Speech is silver, silence is gold.” PAGE TWENTY-ONE O GA Ww —EOWIN we coerman yn ad- R. Class History The Class of 1923 realizes with regret that its era of history making is over. The historians regret also that lack of space compels them to give only a bare out- line of the history made. It seems only a short time ago, September 2, 1912, that thirty-three badly seared, very excited tots began their school career. Thirty-three of us filed into the first grade before Miss Clara Willson, our dearly beloved teacher. Now came the calamity. Our mothers who had accompanies us to school then went home leav- ing the poor little sheep with an unknown shepherd. Of all these thirty-three only two have pulled through to this year, Annie Belle Thaxton and Thelma Clayton. Miss Mary Trotter (Mrs. W. H. Long), our faithful second teacher, watched and cared for us during our second year. At the beginning of this year thirteen of our class mates had left us and fifteen had jointed us, leaving only twenty originals. With Miss Myrtle Barnette (Mrs. John Sellers) watching and guiding us we managed to pull through the third year. ‘Twelve of the former classmates stopped and six new ones entered, thus leaving only thirteen originals. In the fourth grade we were under the supervision of Miss Bertha Newton, a very influential teacher. Eleven of our classmates departed and eleven new ones entered. Only seven of our originals were with us then. In this grade two of the graduating class joined us, Nellie Wade and Thomas Robbins. As time flew rapidly by we reached the fifth grade and found our teacher to be Miss Ethel Crowder (Mrs. R. I. Featherstone, deceased), who did very much to fit us for the sixth grade. Ten out of the former grade dropped out while ten new ones came in, leaving only five of the originals. In this grade two more of the grad- uating class entered, Katie Perkins and Paul Hornbuckle. In the sixth grade Miss Eugenia Ponder was our much beloved teacher. Twelve of our former classmates left us and eight joined our merry gang. It was during this year that Sue Frederick, our class secretary, came to us. Then three of the class originals survive. Then we came to our last year in the grammar grades, the seventh grade, with Miss Mildred Satterfield as our teacher. Six of the former classmates left us and nine joined us. Here, we lost one of our originals, Mary Lou Lunsford, who was taken sick with influenza. It developed into pneumonia and she never recovered. During this term Willie Vanhook joined us. By this time we had made considerable advance in our search for knowledge. It was then that we began to have a faint conception of the work that was ahead of us; in the course of a few days, however, we became reconciled to the change. To our delight we were under the supervision of Miss Mabel Goode, one of the sweetest PAGE TWENTY-TWO 7 | gua teachers ever. In order to vary our crowd, in the Freshman year we took in Ed- ward Bowles and Winfrey Clayton, our present class president. During this year a society was organized named E. K. Graham. Late in November the society gaye a party and two of our class were members. Thus ended our first year in High School. We entered into the second year of our work whole-heartedly. It was during this term that we were placed under the care of our honored and most esteemed teacher, Miss Ruth Redfern. In the middle of our second term, Frances Thomp- son, our vice-president, joined us and liked so well that she has stayed to graduate with us. Late in the fall when the leaves were turning red and golden, and the pumpkins were full grown, we made plans to entertain the Senior Class at a Hal- lowe’en party. All plans were made in advance so the afternoon before the party the girls and boys divided in groups to make the necessary preparation. Some went to gather leaves and boughs to help make the auditorium attractive while others did the things which usually make young girls and boys happy. That night we told fortunes, played games, and had plenty of good music. Every member of the ninth grade was paid when the Seniors said, “This is the best entertainment the school has had on Hallowe'en night for a long time.” The next September we came back as Juniors to prepare ourselves for Sen- iors. We took up the study of Geometry which proved to be a most puzzling sub- ject, however, we managed to pull through with it. With the help of Miss Helen Leary, our room teacher, we organized our Class. In April we gave a play in order to secure money to give the Seniors a banquet. Early in May we gave the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Royal Hotel. Thus our Junior year flew rapidly by. For a long time we did not understand what our Senior year meant; but with the careful teaching and never tiring aid of our teacher, Miss Mildred Satterfield, we woke to the realization that we were really Seniors. The dignity that we had accumulated during the first three years was not a “circumstance” as compared to the air that we began to assume in the early fall. At the beginning of the year we re-organized our class and elected our officers. Earl Satterfield came to us this year. So finally we have come to the goal towards which we have striven for eleven years—‘‘graduation.” The future stands before us. Here our task as Historians ends. If we, in our truthful representation of the incidents in our career, have been so fortunate as to have aroused your interest in our class, our full duty is per- formed, for in regard to the future we respectfully refer you to the class prophetess.

He was an obedient, henpecked husband and was a great gossiper. He was fond of hunting and shoot- ing and was often seen wandering over the hills of North Carolina with his gun on his shoulder and his faithful old dog following on behind. Not being able to hunt, and having somewhat of a roving disposition, it was always a great pleasure to me to roam around and instead of taking a gun I always take a copy of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. On this particular day in early spring I found myself in the thick forest wan- dering as was my custom on pretty days, and as usual I had my copy of Macbeth. Feeling tired and worn I took up my Macbeth to read while I sat on an old stump in the shade of a great tree to rest. As I read on and on I came to Macbeth’s in- terview with the Witches. I became so thoroughly absorbed in thinking of them that I stopped reading. I wondered if ever such things occurred in the present day, and was really wishing I might see the witches to see what they would tell me when I was attracted by a noise behind me. I looked around and to my surprise and horror I was confronted by the three witches about whom I had just been thinking. Being too frightened to run I spoke to the foremost of the group. “I know you are Macbeth’s evil spirits, but what is your purpose here?”’ With screeching voices and frantic gestures the leader of the sisters replied, “We have not made our appearance on earth for many years, but we have been watching and have been so impressed by the Senior Class of the Roxboro High School that we have agreed to move forward the curtain of time and reveal the fu- ture to you. ) . , “First let us take wilh Clayton, the president of his class.

EBERMAN VR ai-h es What Good Roads in Person County Mean to Education Good roads! When you say those two words don’t they just make you have a kind of idea of slipping along over miles of smooth, hard road without a bump or mud-hole? Ten years ago Person County did not know the meaning of the term “good roads.” Throughout our county all the roads were practically of common red clay which were not so bad in dry weather, but when it rained! A Ford was about the only thing that could go over them and survive the shock. And even then, some- times the little Ford would get stuck up and everybody would have to get out and push. During the last ten years wonderful changes have been made along this line, not only near Roxboro, but all through Person County. There are five High Schools in the County, not including Roxboro, and each has a good road running by it. On account of these good roads trucks and auto- mobiles make these schools accessible as far as eight or ten miles. There are eight sand clay roads running into Roxboro, not to mention the ones that run into these a few miles out of town. The enrollment in the High School Department of our school is one hundred and five and thirty-three of these come over the good roads. In our own grade we have enrolled twenty-four and ten of these come over the good roads. Could these children have their present educational advantages if it were not for these good roads? It is to be hoped that this good work of road building will be kept up until we have good roads in every nook and corner of Person County.

Our Trip Through the Sophomore Class The long but much enjoyed summer vacation had come to a close. School days with all their thrills, joys and sorrows had come again. The old school house, which had sheltered us so long, threw open its doors and gave us a hearty welcome. The class rooms brought back memories of old times when we were “just Freshies,” the butt of every practical joke. However, this year we were elevated to the dig- nity of Sophomores and were therefore able to look down with profound pity and contempt upon the poor benighted Freshman. We were very much elated over the progress we had made towards the goal of our ambition; indeed, we felt that the prize of perfect knowledge was within our reach. Among some of the class activities was the raising of money to buy a pencil sharpener and the planting of bulbs to beautify our room. Soon some of our num ber began to take a lively interest in athletics and became members of the basket- ball team. Some even getting honorable mention as stars in various games. Quite a number of our members were talented enough to join the school orchestra though not all of our gifted musicians became members. The frail craft, containing our hopes, desires and ambitions with the conscien- tious and masterful hands of our faithful high school teachers at the helm, has thus far sailed the tortuous voyage, and now the haven, “Vacation,” looms above the horizon. , Now that the warm spring days have come again and the usual epidemic of spring fever predominates, we find it hard to carry out our determination to work till the end and attain a good record for our Sophomore year. Tho we are slightly inclined to mischief we will strive to live up to our motto, “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Eunice WHITE PAGE THIRTY-FIVE SS ZZ LEA. a —EDWIN EBERMAN VR Freshman Class Roll Epiru Bow es JANIE BuaLtock ELLEN BRADSHER JameEs CARVER Exir CARVER Maynarp CrLaytTon Auicr.

Before school started boys and girls had said to us, “You sure do have a fine time in High School.” Others had said, “Your lessons are twice as hard and you have to study all the time.” So when the Freshmen started there were divided ‘opinions. Now that we have had some experience we all agree that the pessimistic ideas are not at all true. We have a fine time. The change in classes and books is de- lightful. We all like the teachers and we hope they think as much of us. We are getting to feel big or grown up as you might call it. We feel as if we are learning something that will be of use to us in the world. We hope we have reached the standard required by any Freshman class be- fore us but our aims are to go above them all. We think that the first year in High School is the most profitable and enjoyable of any of our previous school years. All of us hope to fill the highest places in life that our friends may look back and say with pride, “He was.a member of the 1922-23 Freshman class.” Cuame WInstTEaAD, JR. alee PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT ida EDWIN EBERMAN ‘ AWS : , N d WATE : Za LLL a an Sy EDWIN R3- F EBERMAN VR RRI-RR Mrs. H.

It contains all the beauty of nature, poe- try and art. A person with any appreciation of these things doubly enjoys good music. Long. ago in the times when people were not taught music as they are today— in those days the “plain folks’’ were singing in their own way the songs that nat- urally came to them. They could see the beauties of the home and out-door life and as they saw only these scenes they were’ content to love and sing about them. This is how music was begun and ever since the people have been singing their simple folk songs, lullabies, hymns and songs of friendship and love. Is music beneficial? I think that any one with much mind would say it is. First of all it furnishes entertainment. This is the way it gives the most benefit and helps the most folks. Everywhere now free musical concerts are being given for the benefit of music scholars and other people. These are very helpful and en- tertaining as some of the leading musicians play for them. It is said that the vocal organs are the most perfect of all instruments and the sounds that are produced touch the heart, because they are human. . Music is helpful to all kinds of entertainments. It is necessary in our worship, our education and our homes. It helps one to express his feelings in the proper way. It is as poetry—how beautiful it is when put in at the right time and right place! Songs are really a combination of poetry and music and some of the most beautiful poems have been set to music just for the benefit of the people. Many a poet has become famous by a poem of his being set to music and loved and sung by the nation, such as the sone, “Home Sweet Home.” Music develops the artistic sense. It helps you to see the wonders of nature, the beauty of art and the soul of poetry. There are many other ways in which music is beneticial but I cannot undertake to name them all. After all though, it is as Shakespeare says: “The man who has no music in his soul, And is not moved by concord of sweet sounds, Ts fit for strategems, treasons and spoils— Let no such man be trusted.” Janiz Burns PAGE FORTY-TWO EDWIN Ne ederman UR Hicu ScuHoon ORCHESTRA High School Orchestra Epwarp Bow.Les KATHERINE HarcHetTr JANIE BLALOCK Curtis OakLEY Firtpinc BuMPAss Tiromas RoBBINS WINFREY CLAYTON Frances THOMPSON THELMA CLAYTON WaLLAcE WHITE HevLen Harris Baxter WaAvdE PAGE FORTY-THR EE 2-2-2 ae R EDWIN EBERMAN AU a NaI: =o AEN we ai we xs FORTY-FOUR PAGE | a er wR R-AJ-RR —EDWIN EBERMA Girat’s Recurar TEAM Five Heten Harris ular K [nHoMPSON s Reg ON arl G LMA CLAY ay E Tu KINS ERI P ATIE ON GrAyvT SopuHie r ) ES , RANC 4 FORTY-FIVE PAGE WVAL HYLINaG STYHIO FORTY-SIX PAGE ] A a ‘ A i a wy 7 F iN a AA ge Z (‘A B yo Ais Zz AB WY oe Z 2 Bg AC Ax Z Z = Z 24 A A BO ed ZZ KAZAA Z AC ads © AP ‘ Girls’ Line-U GELS ne-Up | 2 | THeLMA CLAYTON p ; ; : : ; , : Right Forward 2 1 Sopuir CLaytTon ; : ; ; ; ‘ : ‘ .

Helen Harris was chosen manager, and it would have been hard to have made a better selection. Thelma Clayton, who has for four years played forward, was chosen captain. Under these two capable leaders coupled with the hard work’of Mrs. Parker, our coach, the team has made a splendid record. Owing to the fact that we were not able to secure a good indoor court and be- cause of bad weather the team has not played very many games, yet they have not been defeated. With the closing of this season there passes up four of the best players that ever played under the Roxboro High School colors. We are hoping that next year the team will be even stronger than this year, and that they will try harder to take the state championship banner, PAGE FORTY-SEVEN R-RI-RB. pay is ae z 2 fa [ss AM AR TE EGUL R 2VUE uar LH Boy Reg Maynarp CiLaytTon Cur Ss 7 u DWARD Bown E Y Ss OaKLE bat LAYTON 1 J C KY WINER HOMAS RoBpBINns Ah PORTY-LIGHT PAGE dvVNOS HYLLNY .SAOE FORTY-NINE PAGE er ey aI-R2. 2S ES —EDWIN EBERMAN VR ———— The Boys’ Basketball A great number of men answered Coach Elmer Clayton’s first call for practice, among whom were practically all of the better men of last season. This gang con- sisted of last year’s captain, “Vick” Bowles, who was again elected to lead the team this year. Hornbuckle, Allgood and “Monk” Clayton, all of last year’s second string men answered the call and quite a few have distinguished themselves and have fought their way to the front and have put their names on the list of the roll of honor in athletics, Those of this number making the squad were Oakley, Rob- bins, M. Clayton, Bumpass and Hobgood. Under the guidance of coach “Dent” Clayton and leadership of Captain Bowles the team has again made an enviable record and much new material has been devel- oped for future R. H. S. teams. The “Whirlwinds” tasted the cup of defeat in the opening contest with rivals of long standing, Halifax Highs. They emerged from the game with the cham- pions of Halifax County losers by the score 24-7. Possibly this defeat was the best thing for the team, for it caused it to realize just where the weak points were, and also their lack of practice, as only two nights of practice had been put in before the game. Coach Clayton, after this game, held daily practice and possibly no team ever came to the front more rapidly. Later, after a journey to Yanceyville the Whirlwinds managed to slip out ahead of the husky Y. H. S. team and win by a narrow margin in the last few minutes of play. The team walked off the Yanceyville out-door court victors by the score of 34-29, In this game Captain Bowles proved his worth to the team by scoring 23 of the winning points. The West Durham Highs, in the annual Thanksgiving game between the two teams, went down in defeat before the terrible onslaught of the Whirlwinds 38-18. For the first time in the season the fans got a chance to see the whole of the home squad in action as the new players were given their chance. Cedar Grove proved to be easy pickings for the team and went home crest fallen, having been defeated by the regulars and having the torture administered of having the subs finish out the game. The team next lost a game to the South Boston Highs in South Boston. After running up the score 12-2 the team became overconfident and became careless. The South Boston team made a wonderful comeback, overcame the lead and surprised the Whirlwinds by defeating them 36-30. PAGE FIFTY NI ZEA WNW Ei Ze eu ZA was EDWIN EBERMAN Turning on the Bethel Hill Highs the team managed to forge ahead into the lead. They then let the subs finish out the game while they rested for the next con- test of that night, which with Halifax Highs who had arrived unexpectedly while the game was in progress. Both ends of the double header were captured and the individuals avenged the defeat administered in the first of the season by the score of 44-26. Oakley came into the limelight in this game and put himself on equal footing with the old stars. The season was brought abruptly to a close on account of sickness and financial distress after Henderson High School won over the locals 44-25. Outweighed with several regulars out of the line-up, and fatigued from the long journey on muddy roads tie Whirlwinds lost the game which proved to be the last of the season. No chance was given to come back at Henderson and South Boston this season, and members of the squad expressed their regret. Everything taken into consideration R. H. S. had a dandy team. The ques- tions of finances and sickness kept the team disorganized continually. Games with Mebane, Burlington and others were cancelled on account of these reasons. - LINE-UP Forwards Captain Bowles Fielding Bumpass Curtis Oakley Centers Laurence Allgood Thomas Robbins Guards Winfrey Clayton Maynard Clayton Paul Hornbuckle Baxter Hobgood Ree REL ee Ss ee ee et See Se §.Halifax vo Se ee eee ee! 24 | Tord PRASy Mes eme eNaet eMee oS Neonat (eee 84, Yancey ville «._ cect ee 29 [Pag EP et ee ee cea: ome gee 88 West Durham “s2.2e6) ee 18 jena Rory eeate, tener et nee Ae eee eee ee 89 Cédar Grove!

A few days before Valentine, the Senior Class and High School Faculty received invitations from the Juniors asking them to be present at the School Auditorium Friday night. As soon as we entered the School Building we were reminded of the fact that it was Valentine as hearts were to be seen in profusion everywhere. We were met at the door by the Juniors and ushered in the Auditorium. Games of various kinds relating to Valentine were played, also some contests were entered in, after which we were invited down stairs where punch and sandwiches were served. We then enjoyed music given by different members of the Junior and Senior classes. At ten thirty o’clock promptly Miss Leary informed us that it was time all young people were asleep. So we departed declaring that we were glad our High School had a Junior Class. Misses Allen-Leary One of the most delightful events the Seniors participated in during this year was a party given them by Misses Allen and Leary, two members of the High School Faculty. The party was suggestive of George Washington’s birthday, also Valentine’s day. The hostesses divided us into groups of fours. Then we were invited to take part in contests. One that was especially interesting to all was pinning cherries on the cherry tree. The one making the highest score in all the contests was awarded a prize. Later the fortune-teller arrived and told our fortunes. After which refreshments were served by the hostesses. Skating Party Excitment “ran high” when it was learned that the Seniors were going to give the much talked of “Skating party.” Several days before the event was to take place, posters appeared in nearly all of the windows on Main street announcing the time and place. Long before time for the doors to open the children began to as- semble and when it did open such a rush and scramble and then such a noise. Nothing could be heard for the rolling of skates and laughter of the children. Old as well as young took part in the fun. The hour for departure come too soon, and the children departed wanting to know when the Seniors were going to have another Skating Party. PAGE FIFTY-TWO Brest NATURED Best Door-Kerre!

Although the tenth grade is small we have many things to be proud of. In the early part of the school year, as soon as the weather got cool and the air became crisp the boys started practicing basketball. At first it was pretty hot for them but they stuck to the job. The tenth grade is very proud to have three bovs who were ready to work. When they organized the team, in order to start to playing, the athletic association chose one of our boys for manager and one for captain of their team. These boys have worked faithfully all the year and have won a great many games at various places. The girls started to practicing basketball soon after the boys. It took a great deal of determination for the girls to get started, as they got very hot and tired. Three of these girls who had determination enough to practice even though thy would suffer from heat are in the tenth grade. We are proud of the fact that the girls who shot the most goals as well as the manager and captain are in our grade. The girls have not played many games; however, they have won half of the few they have played. Late in the fall when the leaves were turning red and golden, and the pump- kins were full grown, the tenth grade made plans to entertain the Senior cl °s at a Halloween party. All plans were made in advance so the afternoon bef the party the girls and boys divided in groups to make the necessary preparation. Some went to gather leaves and boughs to help make the auditorium attractive while others did the things which usually make young boys and girls happy. That night we told fortunes, played games, and had plenty of good music. Every member of the tenth grade was well paid when the Seniors said, “This is. the best entertainment the school has had on Halloween night for a long time.” In the heart of winter while the earth was covered with its snow blanket, Mrs. Cunningham came to our school and organized a Safety League. In electing the officers for the league two of our class were chosen as secretary and treasurer. On Friday morning, March the third, the tenth grade girls gave a little enter- tainment in chapel. We were very much pleased when members of: the other grades told us how much they enjoyed the exercise. We decided to do something different from the other grades so we wrote the words to our song. It was the first original song to be given in chapel. When the great fad for bobbing hair was on and so many girls were bobbing ' their hair not a single member of our class took up with the fad. The tenth grade has many things to be proud of and ,we all hope it will continue to have more as time passes, for we want the tenth grade to leave a record any high school would be proud of.

The smaller the business, the greater care is neces- sary to foster and keep it growing. Good printing helps to emphasize superiority in quality, and the other kind leaves the opposite impression.
