FOOT HILLS George W. Bates Prof Gilkey, N. C. Platonic Literary Society, Vice-President, ' 30, Secretary, ' 29, Social Committee, ' 30; President Dramatic Club, ' 30; Glee Club; Y. M. C. A.; Secretary Student Council, ' 30; Annual Staff, ' 30; Exchange Editor RECTANGLE, ' 30; Friends of Rutherford Club. Everyone considers it an honor to have known George. His winning smile and pleasing personality is seen everywhere on the campus. He is the un- usual type of person who can smile in the face of difficulty, and certainly his friends (who are many) envy his carefree and jovial nature to which are added seriousness, dependability, and ambition. No one is more loyal to his school than George, and we hope for him the most success, knowing that if he continues to pursue his course that he will ultimately attain the heights of success peculiar to Rutherford men. William Watson Beack Son Scotland Neck, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society, President, ' 30 ; Vice- President, ' 30, Treasurer. Marshal ; Vice-President of Class. Son came to us from Scotland Neck, North Caro- lina, and has proved to be a worthy lad with much ability. He has determination that is hard to ex- cel, and with this quality he knows no defeat in any- thing that he undertakes to do. Furthermore, he reminds us of some of our outstanding authors in literature for the reason that he is profound and somewhat dogmatic in his beliefs and in expressing his sentiments. By his outspoken nature and sim- plicity of manner, we predict that William will make his mark in the world in whatever profession he may see fit to choose. Ralph Brown Rabbit Kingstree., S. C. Newtonian Literary Society, Mock Trial, ' 29- ' 30, Chaplain, Marshal, Reporter; Manager Football, ' 30 ; Orchestra ; Vice-President South Carolina Club ; Commencement Play, ' 29 ; Dramatic Club, ' 29. Yes, he is from South Carolina, but since being here he has made many friends, especially by his wonderful way of handling the violin and his gift as black face comedian. His room is a Rendez- vour for all the boys. He says it isn ' t any use to worry about what you have to do or what you haven ' t done, so he doesn ' t worry but faces life with a smile. If Rabbit has a motto I believe this is it, If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try again. As for his future, we must say it looks bright and prosperous. $ [ 18]

Victorian Literary Society, Vice-President, ' 29; Glee Club, ' 30; Dramatic Club, 30; Co-ed Editor of RECTANGLE; Co-ed Representative of Student Council. Cornelia has distinguished herself in various fields of activity, her chief one being basketball, in which she was a star player. She personifies good nature and geniality. Cornelia ' s ideas are very unusual and in everything she is very energetic, putting her very heart into her work. Her grades prove that she takes her work seriously, and that she is an excel- lent student. Joseph Howard Connor Joe High Point, N. C, Platonic Literary Society, Secretary, ' 30; Foot- ball, ' 29- ' 30; Glee Club, ' 29- ' 30; Dramatic Club, ' 30; Monogram Club; Y. M. C. A. The class of 30 has been fortunate in having Joe as one of its members. He not only has the physical greatness which enables him to fill his place on the gridiron so well, but he also has a greatness of personality which causes him to be liked by all his acquaintances. Joe is considered the champion arguer of the class. His ambition is to become a lawyer and we are confident that his college career will be a success, and that in the days to come he will be among the greatest barristers of the day. Joseph Ernest Doavless JLrme Council, N. C.

M. C. A. Ernie hails from the eastern part of our noble state. He comes to us as a candidate for the ministry and ha.s proven his unlimited abilities by his participation in college activities. He has the rare combination of a sunny, pleasure-loving dis- position, determination and ability. There is a ray of sunshine to be found in the darkest places when he is around. He has great individuality of per- sonality. He is another whose going will cause wide- spread regret, and when he departs from these peace- ful FOOT HILLS, woe be to the fairer ones of the Rast 1 For he is practically irresistible. ? US '
