Beside her studious nature, Minnie is a lovable girl. We, who are for- tunate enough to call her companion, love and admire her. A dear class-mate is she and when we want something to cheer us up and comfort when things go wrong we call on her. We feel that we just could not do without her, and we know that those who take her away from us will appreciate and love her too. “We would applaud her to the very echo, Then should applaud again.” ZA CZAR SC OO ee Z, AGE OGOZEAZACG PA Bo BzA A. Azz eB Ewin —f “ “2-=23-R Re aa EBERMAN VR Littian Lewis Barrp An all-around girl is Lillian, who has found her way into the hearts of everyone, teachers as well as fellow-students. She has a sunny disposition and always has a bright smile for everyone. If you look the world over for a real honest-to-goodness friend, you could find no one more generous or thoughtful than she is. We have a feel- ing that Lillian will succeed. Here’s to her! “Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; Nothing’s so hard but search will find it out.” [ Page Nineteen } ome Z GAZ A Brn AA 1 | ae f | g Pe Z “AA ES BS HA H “ LF Gg A abies L gece A poe ae 2 Re Ne ZA NZ J 5 me Z Ze eed TRAE. ind MarGARET HINES CARLTON Margaret is a pal we all love and are proud of. She can always be depended on, for whatever she sets her head to do, she does and with flying colors too. Outside of her studious ways she is sporty, one who attracts and fascinates and is greatly ad- mired by all. She is energetic, full of pep, and always wants to carry her part of the load. To St. Mary’s we turn over an all- around girl. “Her courage mounteth with occasion.’ [ Page Twenty ] Mary Wuite DANIEL Mary is our quiet girl. Her demure sweet ways we all know and admire. She does not say much but we know she has a heart of gold. She is a sincere class-mate and we feel that we are so fortunate in having her with us. She is not of the flapper type, for her crown of hair is her glory and her mod- esty and timidity carries one back to the blushing days of our grandmothers. She has been spoiled and petted and says she does not like school life but we hope she will see fit to continue her school work after this year, “Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.’ RoBERT BRooM DANIEL Robert is one of our quietest boys, and always obeys the-rules of the school. He is very studious, often studying when the other fellow is doing otherwise. He has just been with us the last four years and has found it difficult to make up deficient work caused by short-term schools before entering here. Open, frank, and sincere Robert makes friends. He can take a joke and likes to give one. He sees the funny side of things and thus drives away the gloom which is often brewing. “When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway, The post of honor is a private station.” Failed to do work sufficient for graduation. WNW GZ HLA vei CE ee —EDWIN EBERMAN VR —— ZuLA MAE GREENE We all know Zula to be one who accom- plishes whatever she attempts to do. As Editor-in-chief of our annual we feel sure that none of us could fill the position better than she. Her witty speech and friendly smile have made her one of the best loved girls of our class. We predict with her ability she will be successful as an English teacher, which is her greatest ambition. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” [ Page Twenty-one | f WA AZ tCa—acuAA We2-2”m7 ]fjreczaz PA ?2:ZZZA — EEE.

HELEN KenpDALL Harris Helen is one of the most attractive and popular girls among us. She has a smile and word for everyone. Being one of the fun-loving kind she radiates the atmosphere in all places which she happens to be. Aside from Geometry, she has shown marked abil- ity in her work. With her care-free spirit Helen goes out to deal with sterner respon- sibilities and we heartily join in wishing her the best that life deals out. “Not very serious, mostly gay, A jolly good sport in everyway.”’ { Page Twenty-two | EFFIE MARIE PERKINS We all like Effie. She is good natured and easy to get along with. She is always with the crowd when it comes to having fun and is ever helpful in her suggestions to this end. Effie is attractive and could achieve great things if she were just willing to burn the mid-night oil and leave Paris the job o. looking after and creating the styles. “Take life easy, no need to hurry, Brighten your pathway and do not hurry. ’ Failed to do work sufficient for graduation. Epna KATHERINE STANFIELD Edna hails to us from our suburban vil- lage, Brooksdale. With her blue eyes and golden hair as assets she manages to win t teachers over on her side even if she dos not always get seventy on her work. She can meet the public in a business like way and even though she is one of the literary editors of the annual has brought in several ads. We think that the business world wil attract Edna. “Woman is at best a contradiction Stillen IsAIAH STALVEY “Good natured Ike,” that’s what anyone who knows him will say. He is a good sport and always ready for fun. Though “Tke”’ does not ever appear to be exerting himself, unless it is by talking, when it comes to Grammar he is always about as accurate in his case relations as a good mathematician is with his figures. With his easy-going manner and good humor he will make and hold friends when he gets out into the world. “He dares do all that may become a man; Who dares do more, is none.” [ Page Twenty-three | OQTé7 A272 al F, ne An ¢ A Ze rata “!

He also has shown that busi- ness is not the only channel in which his talents le. He has proved that he can hold an audience spell-bound by is ability to speak fluently and to the point. Full of energ y and pep, Eugene keeps things astir wherever he is. “None but himself can be his parallel.” | Page Twenty-four | Pa ae — cL g SATA Z eee Z ar eS =EDwin =23-2e. BERMAN R Ratsene LorENA BELL WADE We have a versatile class, haven’t we? Lorena is one of the musical units. Of what good are musical fingers without a musical inside? Lorena has both, as we have found out. She can make good grades and she can play the piano. What more could one ask? “Precious articles are incased in small pack- ages,’ has often been said and it is not con- trary to custom in this personality. “But God has a few of us to whom He whispers in the ear, The rest may reason and welcome; °Tis we musicians know.” Marcaret Louise WILBURN Blessed with, beauty, talent, and a keen sense of humor, Louise has the most lovable personality in the class. O.1e would suppose that she is dignified but her friends know her to be always on hand when there is any fun afoot. In everyday words Louise is the “cat’s whiskers,’ and we wish for her the best of luck all through life. She is our Art Editor and we are very fortunate to have her, “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low, an ex- cellent thing in woman.” lo YZ DWIN Fe R= 25-R Re Ss — EBERMAN VR xt Addis VIRGINIA CAROLINA WILKERSON It is said that large people are good na- tured and we believe it, for Virginia usually has a number of ups and downs—to hear her tell it—and still is in a good humor most of the time. The fact that she has only re- cently bobbed her hair gives us reason to think that she thinks a long time before jumping at conclusions. She is a truly do- mestic girl, perhaps her ability along this line is one of the factors that causes her to be attractive to the opposite sex. “T had rather have a fool to make me merry, than experience to make me sad.” Failed to do work sufficient for graduation. [ Page Twenty-five | ZZ] POLLY WALKER The name is suggestive of a little, fun- loving, black-eyed girl and this proves true in the case of our Polly. When she comes into the school room with her sparkling eyes we know that we are in store for something funny, but Polly can be serious as well as gay if occasion demands it. She is the class pet, always ready for fun but with all her love of fun, “the best old girl ever.” “Youth at the prow, and Pleasure at the helm,” Did not take work for graduation. | Page Twenty-six | “2-23-Ree Vee EDWIN a EBERMAN VR — JoHN Epwarp YANCEY “Primp” is a handy man around the school. As he naturally understands ma- chinery, when things go wrong John is al- ways called upon to fix them. But his fixing ability is just one of his many talents and he is just as smart in books as he is in prac- tical things. He makes friends and we know if he is so successful early in life, he will be later on, so we are wishing him all the good luck there is in life. “The most certain sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness.” : j | 2 een 0 G7 er ae = ZA dau =o ———— STEPHEN TALMAGE DANIEL Talmage is really a good sport after all. He does his best in everything and is always honest and truthful. Though Talmage has not made high grades in his school work, the fact that he has come through fair and foul weather four miles every morning for four years shows his determination to do what he sets out to do, even if he does have to break down barriers. “He that can have patience can have anything.” Did not take full course for graduation.

Pras Fiistory of the Sentor Class Sts 6, 1920, came at last. What did it mean to twenty-nine excited and thrilled boys and girls? It meant the reaching of a goal—the beginning of a high school career. You can imagine our importance as we realized that at last we were in the much longed for high school. Although the Sophomores taunted us, deep down in our hearts there was the satisfaction of knowing that if we worked hard enough we would have the pleasure of getting revenge on the class which would follow. Most of us had this opportunity. Hard work and careful study was almost forgot during the carefree days as Sophomores, for it seemed as if we could not content ourselves with study, there was too much fun going on. Two literary societies were organized this year. The Freshmen and Sophomores organized the Philo Althean Society and the Juniors and Seniors the Wilson Society. Some of our boys and girls took active work in athletics this year and made such good records that they entered again next year into the spirit of athletics wholeheartedly. As for the rest of us, we entered into the life of a Junior with the same spirit, although it seemed that it did not last very long because we soon began to lost interest in work, finding more pleasure in outside things. Two of our class, Evelyn Cozart and Blanche Carter, married during the year. When St. Valen- tine’s Day came we decided to give the Seniors a Valentine Party. Judging by outward expressions it was a success, for everybody’s heart s eemed merry. As time flew by the most eventful time of the year arrived, the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. All kind of preparations were made and the home of Polly Walker was the jolliest place in town that night, for this is where we were having the ban- quet. Miss Helen Leary was our toastmistress and made everybody happy. The next preparation to follow this occasion was to get ourselves ready to be Seniors and for this occasion we did our best. Alas, we are Seniors! Never before have we experienced such thrills as being a Senior gives us. These thrills sometimes fade away when there is a hard English test or a brain-racking History quiz at hand but we are working with all our might to reach the goal for which we have so long been laboring. When the goal is reached we believe we will be fitted for successful workers along life’s journey. Now work is not all being a Senior means for the Juniors filled us with delight by entertaining us at a Hallowe'en Party which we greatly enjoyed. We are now looking forward to the Junior-Senior banquet for this year we will be guest and not hostess. Then afterwards to June the second when our days in the Roxboro High School will be over—this day means both gladness and sorrow.

Stretching out on the road before us We can all hear duty’s call, Every one must harken unto it, For it devolves upon us all. Though happy we are to reach this goal, To mount another round, We feel a sadness in our hearts, To break the ties with which we're bound. To the class of ’25 We hope the days will fly, With success and happiness to all of you, We will now say good-bye. ZULA GREENE. [ Page Twenty-nine | LZ, E Ss EDWIN EBLRMAN UR N (lass Prophecy IL WAS ONE of the first spring days. The birds were gayly singing, flitting from tree to tree, and everything seemed so beautiful. I was walking along the road very slowly, dreaming of my old school days and wondering what had become of my classmates, when suddenly ahead of me I saw a gypsy camp. I could see the gayly colored dresses and beads of both.men and women amid the green trees, and the picture they made impressed me very much. I was fixing to turn back, when a small boy came out from the bushes. He was a queer little fellow, but very attractive in his beautiful colored garments. In perfect English he asked me if I did not want my fortune told. As I had nothing else to do, I decided I would go with him to his mother’s tent, for it was there he wanted me to go. The little fellow took me by the hand and lead me finally into a large tent-room. Everything was so beautiful that I stopped and stared, but suddenly my gaze fell on a woman sitting in the corner of the tent on a sort of couch. She was very beautiful, her hair and eyes contrasted very beautifully with the gayly colored coverings. I was told to sit down on a small stool at her side, and then she asked me what I wanted her to tell me first. As I was still wondering of my old class- mates, I asked her to tell me what had become of each. At this her eyes became dreamy and she began speaking: “Well, the first one that comes into my mind is Miss Margaret Carlton. After she finished her college course, she accepted the position as head of the Domestic Science Department at St. Mary’s College. She has been teaching here for a year, but she will soon resign, after which time she will make her home in Winston-Salem, where she will conduct a school for two in Domestic Arts. “Then there is Miss Lorena Wade, who is now appearing in New York where she has achieved great success as a musician. It is understood that she will soon leave for a tour of Europe where she will appear before prominent audiences. “Next comes Mr. Eugene Thompson. After he finished his course in law at the University of North Carolina, he opened an office in Greensboro and is hold- ing his place with the best lawyers of the state. “At the present time all New York is astir over the announcement of the engagement of Miss Lillian Baird to Lord John P. Lancaster of England. She is one of the season’s favorite debutantes, and has just returned from a tour of Europe. | Page Thirty | GAA. ‘ | Ni i | i i ANY Y — ZZ LALLA “The next is Mr. John Yancey. He is a great evangelist, and is now con- ducting a series of sermons in the southern part of the state. He is considered a serious rival of Billy Sunday. “Miss Mary Daniel is a very noted woman and is the owner of one of the largest beauty parlors in New York. “Also, Miss Louise Wilburn has just returned from Italy, where she has been painting a new picture. She is a well-known artist and her pictures have won first prizes in many places. “T now recall two cousins who were in your class, Messers Robert and Tal- mage Daniel. They are now business partners and own one of the largest and best conducted farms in this part of the country. “Miss Polly Walker after finishing her music course at Peabody, Baltimore, is teaching at her studio in New York. “You will be pleased to know that Miss Zula Greene has accepted the position as head of the English Department at Trinity College. “Recently Miss Virginia Wilkerson made her first appearance in the movies in ‘The Lost Heart’ which was completed in Paris. This picture is expected to make a great hit, and it has already been engaged by the Princess Theatre. “Mr. Isaiah Stalvey, after finishing his civil engineer’s course at the State College, has accepted a million dollar job in South America. He has been down there about a year, and is pleasing the corporation for whom he is working.” Here she stopped and seemed to be thinking. Imagining that she did not remember the others, I told her there were only four more girls. At this her face brightened, and then she began again: “Ves, Miss Effie Perkins and Miss Edna Stanfield are in Paris where they are conducting a fashionable millinery. It may be that we wear some of the hats which they design. “Now last of all you find Miss Helen Harris and Miss Minnie Allgood in the teaching profession. Miss Harris is teaching in the Kindergarten in Dur- ham. She is a very popular teacher and her friends are disappointed to know that she will not return next year. It is rumored that she is to be married soon. “Miss Allgood filled the vacancy in the Latin Department of the Roxboro High School caused by the illness of Miss Mabel Goode. She had thorough preparation at Meredith and is doing good work in her own home town.” When she finished speaking, I arose and thanked her as well as paid her— for her wonderful information, I felt as if I had been on a visit to each of my friends. I went home still thinking about the life work and success of my friends. Minnie Aticoop, Prophetess.

To the Freshmen we leave our pity, for they know not what hardships they will have to undergo, poor things.

NN i | Uaulting Ambition (Suggested by Reading Macbeth) Ages. IS THE RooT of all achievement and yet the spur of evil. It is both, an instrument of the Gods and an agent of the devil. Some men forget self in the pursuit of noble ambitions and others forget everything but self in the pursuit of bad ones. Nations and empires have fallen because of the infamous desires of one man. Such men are dominated and ruled by their ambitions and they leave to the world, not a record of accomplishment, but one of avarice and discontent. There are men who develop their desires along lines of progress and general welfare, they attain happiness and are a blessing to humanity. A person who allows selfish longings to guide his actions not only causes others to suffer but he indirectly inflicts punishment on himself, because too strong ambitions destroy even the possessors.

TRIALS of a Sophomore are many, For we work as if we never could stop, But it takes lots of work and study, To be able to go over the top. There are Algebra examples a plenty, And there is always Latin to translate, With a History quiz for a surprise now and then, And we tremble to think of our fate. In Literature there is much to be read, For English there are themes to write, With our music and literary societies We need to study both day and night. But mixed with these trials and troubles Are many pleasures and fun. I do not object to the work and study, If at the end I can hear these words—well done. M. M. D.

Its vibrating tones elevate to the highest all of the best that is enthroned in our inner beings. Our every caprice finds such satisfaction in soothing, inspiring, or commanding melody as is to be acquired from no other art. The ambitions we cherish, all that we would be, all that men can not see in us, this and more, we live in our esthetical music lives. Without it our better instincts die for lack of expression. The poet says: “Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak; I've read that things inanimate have moved, And, as with living souls, have been informed, By magic numbers and persuasive sound.” The Parent-Teacher Association kindly presented the school with a victrola, and the pupils have contributed funds for a collection of records. The new class in music appreciaticn is very helpful to us all and is for the purpose of teaching us to appreciate the many beautiful things which the talented artists, men of lofty ideas, and deepest feelings, have expressed in music. We are glad that our school is one of the number which has adopted this method of developing a taste for good music in the pupil. An argument to prove the power and value of music would be superfluous. Poets and philosophers have long regarded it as the greatest single force in developing the child’s perceptive, imaginative, and emotional faculties. The object in using the victrola is to enable every boy and girl to become, not a professional musician, but a music lover and an appreciative listener knowing the world’s music as he does its history, prose, poetry, and art. The trend of music study is toward appreciation for many and theory for few. It is impossible to appreciate good music without hearing it; it is impossible to hear it and not love it, and to love it without having high yearnings that make for character. To the eager, inarticulate sovl of youth, music is an open sesame to a dream world where vague longings develop into fine visions and heroic possi- bilities. It is fascinating to study the history of this music which has wrought so great a change in the human soul. If you appreciate the music and then begin to study its history, it is no longer a dry and abstract list of names and dates to be committed to memory but a most beautiful sojourning in an old garden, such as our grandmothers knew, learning the names, origin, color and beauty all together, with the fragrance of the flowers themselves over one, like incense from the remote but treasured past.

One is composed of the eighth and ninth grades and the other of the tenth and eleventh grades. They meet every two weeks under the supervision of Mr. H. F. Ayers, our Principal. Besides the various forms of entertainment furnished by the societies we have derived from it help in our school work, especially in English. We feel that our literary work has been worthwhile because of our successful work done in debating before and after going to Chapel Hill in the Triangular work. At Chapel Hill we stood next to Wilson High School, which won the decision for the Aycock Cup. Too, in the Declamation contest at Wake Forest, Wallace White, a tenth grader, out of forty- three won a place on the final contest. We expect to send some one to represent Roxboro at Trinity in the declamation contest and hope to be equally as successful. Possibly as never before the interest in work of this kind has been more thoroughly aroused. | Page lifty | rrangul. ar ‘Debate QUERY : Resolved: That the Inter-Allied War Debts Should Be Cancelled.

The name of the boy or girl in high school vriting the best composition each year is engraved on the cup. Frances Thomp- son won that honor in 1922. Katie Perkins won it in 1923. The honor of ‘24 is still in the hands of the Fates. Here’s to the fortunate one. Mrs. S. G. Winstead was president of the Woman's Club at the time the cup was presented and was very active in the movement, for which the school extends thanks to Mrs. Winstead and the Woman’s Club. The cup promotes a keen competition among the students and some really excellent work in English has been the result. LouIsE WILBURN.

It gives to the boy or girl physical strength necessary for mental exertion. Our boys have taken a good deal of interest in games this season and especially entered into basket ball with a great amount of enthusiasm. Owing to the difficulties under which our boys had to play—one being their late start on account of no place to play—we feel that they have been very successful. Numerous games have been played during the year with neighboring towns, including South Boston, Virgilina, and Mebane.

Art is the “how” of printed matter. Each piece of printing should be dressed in that particular style which will make it most effective in accomplishing its purpose. That is real Art. B: the first letter of the word ‘“‘BUSINEss.” There is a saying that “business is business,’ which means that it should be given the very best possible attention and that all promises should be fulfilled. It is a very common experience to be look- ing for something and to be really disappointed be- cause it fails to come when expected. Business would be more successful if all lived up to require- ments in this particular ; the fulfillment of a promise is an obligation. Cis the first letter of a great word, “Courtesy.” Who cares to deal with a firm that is discourt- eous? How pleasant business can be made if all participating in it are pleasant and courteous! Really, people will not deal with those who are discourteous. On the other hand they turn to those who are court- eous and kind. Your correspondence is cordially invited.
