FOOT HILL v Theodore Eli Wilsox Theo Hendersonville, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society, President, ' 29 - ' 30. Chaplain, Critic, Marshal; Inter-society Debate, ' 29 ; Member Debate Council ; Friends of Rutherford Club; Literary Editor The FOOT KILLS. Theo hails from the land of the sky, Henderson- ville, North Carolina. He is always bubbling over with life and fun and it is a rare thing to see him without a smile. He is very talented not only in his books, but in the forensic field of literary endeavor. He takes a prominent part in all school activities, but displays his ability best when working for the Xewtonian Literary Society. He is serious enough to realize the importance of school work, but he possesses a keen sense of humor, too. Without a doubt, we feel that in this hectic game of life, Theodore will come out on top.

Many of the honors of our class have gone to Bill, but he rightfully deserves them. He never has a set rule by which to do anything but has a distinct way of his own. He cannot be surpassed when it comes to wit, He has a personality that will in all cases fit. He is a ready mixer with all. but especially with the fairer sex, and to be sure his motto is To live, love and laugh. His persistence and ability are sure to bring him successs in whatever he under- takes, be it running for President or what-not. Edith Moore Wagg Ed Rutherford College, N. C. Victorian Literary Society, President, ' 29; Glee Club. ' 30; Dramatic Club, ' 30; Girls ' Basketball team. If one has the blues, Ed ' s company is to be desired, for she seems to possess some sort of magical charm by which blues are dispelled instantly. Her quick wit, ready smile, and pleasing personality have made for her a host of friends at Rutherford . On the basketball court Ed was a star, and her active part in the many college activities has placed her in a place of distinction which can never be filled by another. Walter Ralph Whitley Whit Kannapolis, N. C. Newtonian Literary Society, President, ' 30. Critic ' 30; Sport Editor RECTANGLE, ' 29; Editor-in- Chief RECTANGLE, ' 30; Art Editor The FOOT HILLS. A quiet step, a smile and then Whit. Is he re- served? No, in this respect he keeps a happy medium. A true sport, a friendly fellow, a good student — combine these and you have Whit. As a friend he is ever loyal and sincere. As a student, he has a great love for the higher arts, especially artistic drawing. He has been a help to our class in many ways, but perhaps most of all by being Editor-in-Chief of th- RECTANGLE, and too, by being Art Editor of The FOOT HILLS. We predict a great and distinguished future for him. f rwTviwivnrivi ' viviiirw

FOOT HILLS ISTORT OF CRHRo IXTH YEAR GL AcAf rj HE sequencies of human experiences which we call life have been compared ■ ■ to a drama, and men and women merely players who trip with light fantastic toe across the stage of the world. Father Time has presented innumerable char- acters on his terrestrial stage; some seem to appear entirely in comedy; others in tragedy; but all take their places in the historical play. Father Time deals with classes as well as individuals. He is now presenting on the stage of life the Sixth Year Class of Rutherford College. On the platform there are a number who have been here during their high school years, and there are others who have come into our midst as Freshmen or Sophomores, nevertheless, we are one united class; we are singing to the glory of our dear Alma Mater, and are trusting that our last year together will be one of happiness and success. We are moving and not one wave of trouble shall cross our peaceful breast . The personnel of our class is varied. In every organization of the College there is at least a representative from this Class. We are proud to say that in football, we furnished one of the best. Our Class is well represented in the Ministerial Band, Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Y.M.C.A., the Male Quartette, and other extra curricular activities. The Student Government is controlled largely by members of the Sixth Year Class. The curtains may rise on the stage of our life and present us in semi-darkness, but always there is an enthusiastic feeling within this Class which can not be mas- tered. Difficult assignments may be given to us. but, instead of letting the White Elephant step on us, we shall use him as the war horse which will inevitably carry the Class on to victory and to fame. Our professions, as a class, are many and varied, but we shall, nevertheless, play in the great orchestra of life, I trust, in perfect harmony. All the world ' s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his turn plays many parts. Now that our span of scholastic years is near a close, we look back and see our fortunes and misfortunes. Perhaps our dreams shall never culminate into a happy reality; yet we look out upon the mystic stage of life with the enthusiasm of a Spartan, and the determination of a Desmosthenes. The curtains on the Rutherford stage are slowly falling behind us, the College bell, College life, and the College song shall forever be inculcated in our memory. Bill R. Ormond, Historian.
