Page Four FOREWORD This, our first publication of The Eagle, is the result of dreams, much thought, and hard work. To all the faculty we extend our sincere appreciation for their un- ending efforts and cooperation in making this volume a success. When, in future years the cares of this life become burdensome shake the dust out of the plumage of The Eagle and live again those happy days spent with old S. H. S. If this volume makes one person happy our labors will not be in vain. DEDICATION To Miss Jessie Penny, who has been our good luck coin for three years, and who has labored faithfully to make truer and more loyal students of our class, we dedicate this, our first volume of The Eagle, and hope that she will not be disap- pointed in her aspirations for the Seniors.

At times there is a question whether the high school is really educating. Then along comes June. I compare the handsome and beautiful SENIORS with the gawky boys and giggling girls Avho had entered the eighth grade four years earlier. XW doubt disappears. High school is most certainly worth while. Each wonderful class of joyous, aspiring, promising high school graduates proves it. Whether Smithfield is to grow and prosper according to the prophecies of all our good Kiwanians I do not know, but I do have the strongest faith in the future of the Smithfield High School students. There are none finer in the world. Thos. H. Franks, Sxiperintendent. Page Eleven FACULTY Miss Craig Miss G. Pierce Mrs Royall Miss Goods ( Miss White Miss K.

Ckeech Page Thirtekn History oF Smithfield Graded Schools f ' HE Tui ' liiigtoii Graded School of Smithfield was formed from the old Tur- lingtoii Institute. The school bears the name of the man Avho spent the greater part of his life in sincere devotion to the upbuilding of education in Smithfield and Johnston County. He had been head of the Turlington Institute for twenty years and was superintendent of the present school for five years. The building was then a large wooden frame of seven rooms. The enrollment of the school was 237, and the faculty consisted of five members. The trustees were E. W. Pou, President, W. L. Woodall, Secretary, J. W. Wellons, T. E. Hood and J. D. Underwood. Supplies of books were bought, and rented to the pupils each season. In 1910 Mr. Vermont was elected superintendent, to succeed Mr. Tur- lington, a position which he held until 1917. In his first year the eleventh grade was added and seven Seniors were graduated. In 1911 a petition for bonds was made in order to erect a modernly equipped brick building. The petition was granted, the bonds were sold, and the contract was given to Joe W. Stout Co., Sanford. Mr. H. B. Marrow succeeded Mr. Vermont in 1917. Mr. George T. Whitley continued to act as principal, a position which he held for a number of years, giving his best support to every improvement undertaken. During the four years of Mr. Marrow ' s suj)erintendency the number of students increased so rapidly that a new building was necessary to afford them the proper training. Again bonds were discussed and issued in the summer of 1921. In this year Mr. Thomas H. Franks, who had been principal during the 1920-1921 terms, was elected superintendent, and through his efforts the bonds were raised, the contract let to the Keyon-Thompson Company of Raleigh, and the Smithfield High School building, one of the best in the State, was completed in 1922. It was then that the county began to bring in by trucks, children of the rural districts, following out their plan of putting every child in the county within reach of a standard high school. During Mr. Franks ' s four years as Superintendent he has given loyal support to the upbuilding of athletics in this school and to raising the scholarship standard to the highest level of any high school. Today the school has an enrollment of 1200 and employs a faculty of thirty. The present Senior class consists of thirty-three members.

His pleasant smile is always helpful, and he knows not the word no when you ask him for a helping hand. Julius Marvin Adams He ivho labors conquers Football (3), (4); Baseball (3), (4); Basketball (4). Always quiet and reserved — that ' s Marvin. Always calm and studious — that ' s Marvin. He has two ad- mirable traits, the art of saying nothing with immense seriousness and being irresistibly droll in expressing himself. We are sure that one with these qualities will make a success in life. Sarah Lucile Adams Whistling, laughing, or singing a song, happy and content, she jogs aUjng. Music club (1), (2), (3), (4). If it ' s primping — it ' s Sarah; If it ' s flirting — it ' s Sarah; If it ' s playing — it ' s Sarah ; If it ' s with Tom — it ' s .still Sarah. But if it ' s chewing — It ' s Goat. Benjamin Alton Baker His virtues are many-too many to name. In rain or in shine, Ben is ahvays the same. Dramatic Club (4); Class Song Bird (4). Ben is one of the mo.st dependable boys in our class. Although inclined to be mischievous he can outstrip any owl in solemnity when the occasion calls for it. His ability to write poems and songs is unusual and unless he yields to all those endearing young charms too early, we expect great things from him. Maude Blackman Speech is .silver but silence is gold. Variety is the spice of life. Maude has a queer mix- ture of seriousness, fun, capability, conscientiousness and likeableness. With such qualities we know that Maude will always be a member of whom the class will be proud. She ranks well in the esteem of her teachers because she has learned that silence is the art of conversation. Page Seventeen Samuel Cornelius Booker He ' s little hut he ' s wise, He ' s a corher for his size. Well versed in Latin and Frencli, Sara ' s acliievements are unusual for a class baby. He is a hard worker but we sometimes fear tbat his hard work is stimulated by the success of his rival, Worth. Du NHAM Worth Boyette Although vanquished, he could argue still. Junior Basketball (3); Football (4); Basketball (4) • Baseball (4) ; Dramatic Club (4) ; President of Class (4); Honorary member of The Eagle Staff. Hats off to our president! He is a good natured boy and IS noted for beins very studious. Although he is rather frolicsome, to know him is 1o like him, and we feel sure he will stay in the memory of the class of ' 25 for years to come. John Mathew Cai dill ■■None hut himself can he his parallel. Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Baseball (4). John is an outstanding basketball star and equally as good a student and supporter of the class of ' 2.5. John is one of those per.sons of whom it may be truthfully said, the more you know of him, the better you like him. Lilly Beatrice Daughtery ■•She is gentle and kind, thoughtful in mind. The class of ' 25 is fortunate in having among its members several students of a calm and reserved nature. Lilly is one of these. She has been a good student, a lo. al companion, and a faithful worker. Her memory will ever linger in the hearts of her classmates and friends. Annie Leo Ennis She holds the eel of knowledge by the tail. ' ' Dramatic Club (4); Glee Club (4); Class Prophetess (4); Girls ' Athletic Association (4). Tf you wish to ( onverse in French or debate on historical events, go to Leo, but be prepared vo come away defeated. Her educational forts are strongly barricaded with argument, and are unconquerable. How- ever she realizes that books aren ' t all but that jokes have their part in life as is indicated by her nickname Joker. Page Eighteen Rose Grantham Another proof of the old adage that Precious things come in small packages. Glee Club (3), (4); Coacb of Dramatic Club (4); Treasurer of Class (4) ; Girls ' Athletic Association. Rose has all the qualities of her namesalje besides many more. She is quiet and studious though not a book worm because she ' s always ready for any fun. She is inclined to be mischievous but is so innocent looking that she never gets caught. Rose is one of our most popular girls. !N oLiA Gertrtde Gtrly Laugh and the world laughes with you. Weej} and you weep alone. The Kahle Staff (4); Dramatic Club. Nolia is just a good all-round girl. She is a good student, but finds plenty of time for fun. She some- times seems to be the imp of Satin, but is only full of mischief. Her heart is as kind as it is mirthful. Edna May Hildebrand Her smiles show her happiness. Her friends, her popularity. The EA(iLE staff (4); Advertising manager of Draniatir Club (4). Edna is splendid. She is a good sport and enjoys everything. Slie wears a smile the whole day through. She is a lover of art and her artistic ability is .shown throughout our annual. , James Zachariah Hill Truth from his lips prevail with double sway. Basketball (2), (3); Baseball (2), (3); Glee Club (4); Dramatic Club (4). James is an all-round good natured boy. He, be.udes being Advertising Manager for The Eagle is one of our star basketball players. His droll way of e.xpress- ing himself is very amusing and he is well liked by all of us. Myra Kelly Hill For she is jes ' the quiet kind whose nature ' s never -vary, like streams that keep a summer mind, snow hid in January. Myra has very little to say but when she does speak it is worth listening to. She has red hair yet the red temper so often accompanying this is lacking in Myra. She has a keen sense of humor, a dependable nature, and a likeable disposition. Page Nineteen Arah Lucy Hooks As fair as a rose at dawn and on her lips there ' s ever a song. Vice-president of Class (4); Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); The Eagle staff, Treasurer of Girls ' Athletic Association (3); Dramatic Club (4). Kind, polite, and studious is she. We like her, we love her, for it ' s something we can ' t help. She ' s joyous, smiling, and always full of pep. Her only weakness is — V. M. I. Marjorie Ellsworth Johnston Gentleness, cheerfulness, and urbanity are the three graces of manner. Editor in chief of The Eagle; Dramatic Club (4); Glee Club (2), (3); Athletic Association (2), (4) ; Tennis Club (1). Marjorie is our literary genius and possesses a quaint charm all her own. If she had not won the prize in the short story contest we could have vouched for the tri- umph of her pen. We are indebted to her for her devotion to her class and for her marked ability as editor-in-chief of The Eagle. Mattie McGuire Lassiter Some say the world is made for fun and frolic, and so do I. President of Music Club (4); The Eagle staff; Glee Club (3), (4); Athletic Association (3), (4); Tennis Club (1). If a good time is in store, Mattie is there. She puts pep into everything and her heart and soul are in every- thing she undertakes as is shown by her success as Assistant Business Manager of The Eagle. WiLLARD Lawrence Men may rise on stepjnng stones, hut Willard will rise to higher things. Dramatic Club (4); Football (3), (4); Basketball (3), (4); Baseball (3), (4). Willard hails from California. He joined us in 1923, but one would think from his loyal support of his school and activities that he was a charter member of the class of ' 2.5. He ' s another famous argifiers, and so far has not been downed. Eli Lee Success comes to him who pays the price. When the class of ' 25 began their Senior pilgrimage, Eli embarked and joined his fate with ours. So far his ad- venture has proven succesful. He has a favorite sport — grinning. If a smile will go a long, long way, he will get there after awhile. Page Twentt Ada Well Meacham I ' ll make a commotion in every place I go. Basketball (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4) ; President of Athletic Association. What would the class do without our Jolly Punk? Her cheerful laugh is more contagious than chicken-pox, and even the pessimist could not be free from exposure in her presence. She has been with us only three years, but is one of the most popular girls of the class. Sakah Caroline Parkish Take everyhody ' s advice, then do as you please. Basketball (1), (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4). One of the most athletic girls in the class is Carrie. No one can be more studious than she when she so desires, and no one can be more indifferent and independent when she . o desires. Her personality has won for her a host of friends. Pauline Rowena Rand AmMtion makes geniuses. Dramatic Club (4). Tee-hee, late again, went to .see Rudolph Valentino la.st night and sat up late. Although Pauline giggles as much as she talks about the movie stars we know that she has a heart that is generous and that she truly wants to succeed. Lucy Augusta Rhodes Her voice was ever gentle and low; an ex- cellent thing in woman. Glee Club (1), (2); Dramatic Club (4). With calmness as a background Lucy ' s charming per- sonality and winning smile help form many friendships. As she mingles with her school chums these particular traits stand out and she is loved by all. Henry Estil Royall The boy who works while the next one shirks. Glee Club (2), (3), (4); President of class (3); The Eagle staff. Our expectations of Henry are no less than a professor at Yale or Harvard. At times we are tempted to be- lieve that he outstrips Webster in the use of the dictionary. A true friend, a loyal supporter, and absolutely girl- proof is Henry. Page Twenty-onk Collin Millard Stallings -No rings on his fingers, no bells on his toes, but still he makes music wherever he goes. Glee Club (3), (4); Secretary of class (3); Dramatic Club (4). Millard is our class sport and flirt. He bas hi-en witli us all thiough liigli school and is one of the outstanding figures oi the class. A good supporter of all school activities, Millard has won our liking and respect. Lawrence Utley Stancil -Character is what we are, reputation is what people think we are. Football (3), (4); Treasurer of class (3); Secretary of of class (4) ; Business Manager of The Eagle. Lawrence has character and plenty of it. We ' ve seen it illustrated in his work for his class. ' We are greatly in- debted to him for the successful management of our class business affairs. He is one of the most popular members of liis class and greatly liked by all. Irene Page Stevens there be. or ever -were, one such, ' tis past the size of dreaming. Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4); Dramatic Club (4); Secretary-Treasurer of Athletic Association (4), Be still one moment. Pokey, while we obtain one clear opinion of you. Pokey is a rare combination of pep, seriousness, fun and teasing. Whether it pertains to Ijawrence or to studies she is never-failing. She is just lierse ' .f, and that is why we love her. William Edwin Turnage Never do today what you can put off until next week. Dramatic Club (4); Track (3), (4). Look out may be repeated anywhere, and without turning you know it ' s Ed. He ' s not so different from other accomplished students, but his peculiar Southern drawl distinguishes him from other meiubei-s of his class. He faintly resembles a tortoise — slow but sure. Thomas Moore Watson Men may come and men may go. but I go on forever. Football (3), (4); Basketball (3). (4); Dramatic Club (4); The E. gle staff; Baseball (2), (3), (4). Thomas ' s athletic ability is shown by our making him athletic editor. If you want an opinion on any subject, ask Tom. Despite the fact that Tom is conceited we think that he will do everything that he thinks he can do. Pack Twenty-two Lucy Juanita Woody None knew Tier hut to love her, none named her tut to praise. ' Glee Club (3); Basketball (2), (3), (4); Tennis Club (1) ; Dramatic Club (4). Juanita is a grand old girl, and one of the most lovable in the Senior class. When you have vi ' on her friendship you have won something really worth while. She has taken part in athletics each year and has made an un- usually good record. Carrie Ross Young 7 she will, she will, you may depend on ' t: if she won ' t, she won ' t so there ' s an end on ' t. Basketball (2), (3), (4); Glee Club (4); Business Manager of Dramatic Club; Tennis Club (1); Busi- ness Manager of Athletic Association (4); The Eagle staff. Many people with a goodly amount of avoirdupois tend to sluggishness; but not so with Carrie. She is a noted worker both in her studies and our class activities. She always wears a broad smile, especially on History quizes, and only allows a serious expression to come near her face when debating some hea1?ed question. Pa(1e Twenty three History of the Class ISTORY meanSj I suppose, facts clironologieally arranged with, perhaps, the addition of some causes and effects of the same. In giving these facts, I must be careful not to trench upon any of the interesting happenings for fear of being called down by Leo Ennis, statistician. I must not indulge in rhyme lest Lawrence Staneil, poet, may be offended. I can ' t even dare to make song of our most inspiring facts lest I be violently reminded that our class song (and we must have but one) is already entrusted to Ben Baker. I must not even ask that undergraduates may, when another session begins, occupy our desks where we ' ve laughed and cried, and which we ' ve beautified with ink blotches and hair pin scratches, for that solemn duty belongs to our testator, Irene Page Stevens. Handicapped as you see I am, yet I am permitted to give a few facts chrono- logically arranged. ' 22. We entered high school in a class of forty-four (mostly boys and girls) — a menagerie well managed by Miss Ora C. Canceler, who diligently watched over and guided us in the use of her plough — algebra. Roots of Latin were dug up before our eyes and transplanted in our brains by Miss Laura Weddell. Being far too young and inexperienced to realize the need of officers, we left all matters of class welfare to our teachers. ' 23. Sophistocated Sophomores ! What excitement ! A new building and a top-floor room — quite a rise over our old basement quarters. But alas, a great number of us were missing. However, the new school trucks gathered in enough students to almost fill the places of our lost members, finally giving us the number of forty-two. We began to sparkle with quite a number of gems in athletics. Miss Wilson, the girls ' coach, unearthed them. These, added to our brilliants already starring in that line, brought us into the limelight. But the crowning achievement of our Sophomore class was the acquisition of our good luck Penny. ' 24. ISTot having lost our aforementioned Penny, good luck awaited us at every turn. The following officers were elected to seize upon any stray bits of responsibility that might be found, and brand them with our seal. Henry Royall was chosen to the high office of President, while the records and finances Avere very capably looked after by Lawrence Staneil. During this year our activities varied somewhat. Athletics were still at the front, but early in the fall our attention was seized by the money-making microbe. As a result we sallied forth to the county fair to sell red-hot hot-dogs and ice-cold coca-colas. The wealth accumulated there, we unselfishly used for taking the Seniors on a Page Twenty-four trip around the world. Their education showed quite an improvement after our short visits to Iceland, Ireland, Japan and Hawaii. ' 25. The brightness of our Junior year not at all crushed, was a great help in developing us into dignified Seniors. Counting ourselves thirty-three strong, we set about electing the following officers : Worth Boyette, President ; Arab Hooks, Vice-president ; Lawrence Stancil, Secretary ; Rose Grantham, Treasurer — as good a corps of officers as ever was found. Rejoicing in the possession of our Penny, we have started hoeing our last row. Soaring upward is the motto we have selected. We have already successfully managed a booth at the fair and we are now editing an annual — the first one the school has had. Our class members are again starring in athletics, the girls still under their admired coach. Miss Wilson. As for amusements, we are looking forward with pleasure to a much-longed-for banquet given by the Juniors. In fact, these sad expressions on our faces, just at this time, are not due to any dissatisfaction we feel about ourselves — that ' s only a hint to the Juniors that we ' re longing for a banquet! Careie Young — Historian. Class Son: ■ ROM the first grade upward we hare traveled B Until at last we ' ve reached our goal. Our studies, great and small We ' ve conquered one and all — That ' s why we are graduating now. Chorus: Now we guess That without S. ff. S. Our future would have never looked so bright. When we ' re slack She pats us on the hack, And ' is always showing us what is right. Her name ive ' ll cherish, It shall never perish. Upon it we ' ll gain success. While alive, the class of ' 25 Will ahvays, always love old S. H. 8. From noiv we ' ll follow different courses, But with you our tho ' t will ever he. And we know unless We always do our hest We can never win a victory. Ben Bakku Paoe Twenty-six Class Prophecy o |NE warm afternoon in late May, I was slowly wending my way homeward from a long, tiresome day at the office. Passing a small shop, I glanced at a calendar just inside the window and was suddenly reminded that it was the twenty-ninth of the month. Almost time for another pay check— how good that seemed! For although I loved my work for its own sake, I also welcomed remuneration for it. Then like a bolt out of a clear sky another thought made itself clear in my mind— this was the twenty-ninth of May, and surely that was a milestone in my memory. How on earth could I have forgotten? My own High School graduation anniversary! This was 1934— just nine years ago I could have sworn that I ' d always remember— and now it had almost slipped by me unnoticed. I hurried on homeward, thinking of old pals and classmates, and wondering what had become of each one. Opening the door on reaching home, I was greeted by my two little nieces, Clara and Rose. Excited over my coming, they both shouted at once, Oh, Auntie we ' re glad you ' ve come, ' cause mother ' s busy and we ' re so tired of playing alone. Please tell us a story before supper — oh, please. This was their usual greeting, and I had told them so many that my supply was completely exhausted. Moreover, I was tired, and not in the mood for story-telling. But just then I had a happy idea— an easy way to entertain them for a few minutes. Run, Clara, and get a bowl of soapsuds and we ' ll blow bubbles, and that will be more interesting than a story. I sat by the window with one niece seated on each side of me. Then against the rainbow colors of the fading sunset I blew a large bubble. It floated toward the window and I blew another. How beautiful they were— opalescent, iridescent, changing, I could almost see air castles and fairy princesses in them. Another idea— I should tell them what I saw in each bubble and that would indeed be a story after all. I blew a bubble, and looked. In it I thought I pictured— not a castle and a fairy princess as I had first thought— but instead a very familiar sight. It was a schoolroom. At the blackboard a dignified, dark-haired girl was standing. She was writing. Explaining what I saw to my nieces, we together tried to make out the words. In a few seconds we could see that they were French. And the teacher, children, is an old classmate of mine— Maude Blackman. Maude Blackman a French teacher, I mused. This was indeed exciting and in- teresting. I would blow more bubbles and more and more, and perhaps I could find all my old classmates. I blew again— and then again, and, as if it were a story indeed, I peered into the heart of each bubble as a true seer might, and told my eager listeners what I saw. Look, children, with me. I see an opera house— a great audience. On the stage seated at the piano is a slim little girl whose profile is somehow very familiar. She is turning this way, and she is smiling at her audience. It is Sarah Adams, the ' goat ' of the class of ' 25, and our most musical member. I started with surprise at what I was seeing, then peered eagerly into another bubble. See, there ' s a football game! No, its only a practice, for there ' s Worth Page Twenty-sevkn Boyette giving orders — my, he is swift! His manner of giving orders reminds me of of our old coach, Rice. He ' s getting them in right trim for the championship series. Oh horrors! Here ' s a hospital ward — a whole room full of cots. And do you see that dark-haired girl in the nurse ' s uniform, bending over the man who has the Rudolph Valentino face? That ' s Pauline Rand. Well she ' s happy, I know, for that ' s exactly what she wanted to do. Another opera house? Yes, that ' s just what I see, and a beautiful girl with dark wavy hair is walking down the stage. She is going to sing. Oh! that is Arab Hooks! And now, children, look closely, see the small girl with curly hair and a smiling face ' — that ' s Rose Grantham dressed in a long white apron and cap. She ' s standing in the door of a famous physician ' s office. Evidently she is his private nurse. In this one I see the interior of a day coach on a train. There — do you see that man with the Boston bag and the notebooks on the seat beside him? That is Ben Baker. Judging from appearances he is a traveling salesman. Here in this one I see another schoolroom. Presiding over her pupils with dignity is Carrie Young. She is teaching History in a Penny manner. Another bubble, and this time we have a book — a very popular novel. Do you see the name Marjorie Johnston? She was editor-in-chief of The Eagle. Her genius has reached a very fitting climax. A large enclosed car is approaching. The Driver is Carrie Parish. She is coming home I suppose and I guess she has been shopping. What has this to do with what she has become? As the car passes out of sight I see the name Driver Co. on the back, and then I know. Here is a lecture room at Harvard. Before the class stands Henry Royall, a professor of History. This was always his highest ambition. I am agreeably surprised at this; I always thought he would be an English instructor because he used to make our heads swim with his big words. Next is a large sign painted in brilliant colors. Down at the left hand corner I see the words Caudill did it, and I am again surprised for I thought John would surely be a farmer. A radio! Some one is flashing the news on a screen as it is sent forth. Look, on the screen we see that Juanita Woody has become the star basketball player of the world and this is her fifth game. Here we have a newspaper. In it I see that Edna Hildebrand has resigned her position as drawing instructor in Boston and has opened a studio of her own in New York. There is a great demand for her sketches from life. Another school, just like yours; only this is in Raleigh. There they are— two girls who were the quietest of our class. They are Lily Daughtery and Myra Hill; they are teaching school as they wished to do. Here is the office of the North Carolina Mutual Building Loan Association at Wilson. At the desk I see a sleek, bob-haired girl chewing gum. She has a pencil and paper and is making funny little quirls all over the page. This must be shorthand as she- It ' s Nolia Gurley— is now pounding away on a typewriter. Ah! How beautiful! I see a vast stretch of land which is cultivated and cleared. Many acres of waving wheat and green vegetation can be seen in the distance. But look— over here by this building is Millard Stallings, and of course he is the owner of it all. What is this gigantic piece of machinery? It is all bolts and screws. By its side is a tall, slim man whom I recognize as Willard Lawrence. Judging from appearances he has become a mechanical engineer.

Item Two: To the Juniors we leave our place as Seniors together with our Senior dignity. We also leave to them our Senior privileges; these we have a perfect right to give away having paid dearly for each one. Item Three: To the Freshmen we leave the vast amount of knowledge we have acquired both as a whole and as individuals. If used in the correct manner, it will enable them to slip into the lunchroom for sandwiches, pass notes all day without being detected, and pass all exams, without ever opening a book. Item Four: To Mary Gattis Holland we bequeath Majorie Johnston ' s superfluous dignity as she will have no further use for it after commencement. Item Five: To Irving Gillette we bequeath Edna Hilderbrand ' s artistic teninerament knowing that he has a fearful lack of aforesaid article. Item Six: To Joe Honeycutt we bequeath Willard Lawrence ' s extreme length and graceful walk. We are sure Joe will appreciate both. Item Seven: To Virginia Williamson we bequeath Mattie Lassiter ' s blond permanent wave, which Virginia most sorely needs. Item Eight: To Elizabeth Creech we bequeath Rose Grantham ' s sweet disposition and gentle ways with the earnest request that she use both diligently. Item Nine: To Theron Johnson we bequeath Ben Baker ' s spectacles, that he may strain his eyes no more in attempt to see Rachel Creech. Item Ten: To Mildred Cotter we bequeath Carrie Young ' s avoirdupois, for we feel sure both would be thereby improved. Item Eleven: To Miss Brett we bequeath the following information: Wanted a junior partner at Huntley ' s. Item Twelve: To M r. Rice, our esteemed coach, we bequeath our Senior manners, which we feel sure are an improvement over his own. Item Thirteen: To Anne Stevens and Ellen Patterson we bequeath Carrie Parrish ' s freckles with the following advice— Don ' t fight over them; divide equally. Item Fourteen: To next year ' s Virgil class we bequeath Sam Booker ' s jack May it be as useful to them as it has been to us. Item Fifteen: To all the pupils of the High School we bequeath our famous class spirit which, in spite of many difllculties, has ever been united and undaunted. Item Sixteen: To the school as a whole we bequeath our lasting loyalty and good wishes for many more successful years. Item Seventeen: We do appoint as our trustees and executors the members of the Sophmore class; giving them the right to pawn all of our old books, pens and pencils in settlement of any debts we may have incurred. In Witnes.s Whereof, we do hereunto set our hands and aflSx our seal this day 1925. Irene Page Stevens, Testator. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Senior class to be their Last Will and Testament, in the presence of us who have hereby subscribed our names. Page Thirty-one Class Poem .4 ' VE ' liE the Seiiiors — class of 25, We ' re tlie Seniors — the best class alive. Our time is limited — the day is nigh When ye graduate and leave old Smithfield high. We ' ve studied long vrithotit any rest. And burned midnight oil to stand the test. History, Latin, and Geometry too — We ' ve conquered them all and now we are through. No worry, no work, no trouble, no care, We ' re dignified Seniors and glad to be there. Our friends we leave to take our place. And say, Stick to it ; don ' t drop from the race. We ' ve climbed and pushed to the top of the ladder, We ' re celebrites. yes, and wiser though sadder. We ' re the highest of high in the whole high school; And hampered by nothing — not even a rule; Our privileges many, too many to name. Have given to us our scholastic fame. And liberty, freedom to one and to all Is eenerouslv granted from now to next fall.

Smithfield Team! Page Forty-six Athletics In General - HE year 1921-22 saw the real beginning of athletics in the Sniithfield High School. That year she had her first football team that went into the Semi- Eastern finals for championship by defeating Raleigh and other strong teams. The team was bnilt around Holland, Skinner, and Ellington. The football season of 1922-23 opened with Charles B. Park, (N. C. State), as coach, but due to the fact that all the team did not pass the required amount of work, the team did not enter the championship race. Coach W. L. Eice (V. P. I.), trained the 1922-23 squad, which was only defeated by Sanford, the Eastern champions. Basketball also came into the limelight in 1921-22. For new material the team did unusually well under the direction of Dr. C. V. Tyner and R. P. Holding, 1922-23 saw the same team back ready to go the limit in training. Coach Park ' s excellent coaching led the team to victories over Durham, ISTew Bern, Sanford, and others; pushing them through the Eastern finals to meet Asheville, the Western champions. Asheville won by- the score of 24-23. The next year the same team was not quite as successful, having lost in the Eastern finals to Durham. The girls ' basketball team during the past three years, under the coaching of Miss Evelyn Wilson, has had very successful seasons and has been well up into the championship each year. Baseball remained in the background until the spring of ' 23 ' , not having sufii- cient funds in 1922 to enter the championship race. It proved to be a worthy team by the fact that it met its only defeat by Woodland, the Eastern champions. The 1924 team had practically the same record. Rockingham was the conqueror in the Semi-Eastern Championship game. Last year saw the beginning of Track Athletics in our school for the first time. During the spring a Field Day was held in which marked interest and ability was .shown, leading us to expect even greater effort this spring. Each year sees us broadening in the field of athletics. A system of intrascho- lastic athletics is being attempted this year. In addition to the recreational and health-building value of athletic games there is the splendid training for life. Then all the students should receive such benefit. It is undemocratic and unjust to spend all the money for the training of the fifteen per cent who make the teams and let the other eighty-five per cent shift for themselves. The students who cannot make the teams probably have the greatest need for the systematic and directed athletic training. Coach Rice is this year laying the foundation for the new policy of athletics for all. One or two teacher-coaches cannot direct and coach teams for all the students. It will be necessary to secure five or six teachers who can assist in coaching. Page Forty-seven Miss Evelyn Wilson Miss Evelyn Wilson lias been with iis for three years. During that time she has pledged such loyal support to ath- letics for girls that the teams have de- veloped into unusually strong ones. We cannot express the appreciation v e feel for her efforts to improve our school, not only in the capacity as coach, but in the field of school v ' ork. We trust that her standard of high ideals will be an attainment that we will never cease to strive for. Mr. Walter Rice Mr. Rice came to Smithfield in 1923 and immediately started to work on the football team. His coaching was highly appreciated by the entire school as well as all those on the squad. His persistent efforts to be of the best value to all who come in contact with him or under his work have aided in the progress of the school, and we all hope that he will be with us again next year.

On the grounds are children playing. In a group of small tots I see Lucy Ehoades and know that she is what she wanted to be, since to teach children was her ambition. Another newspaper ! There ' s Nell Meacham ' s picture. She is in the Ziegfield iolhes. She is considered one of the best classic dancers of America, and has gone to Europe in interest of her profession. Here is something else, very interesting from the newspaper— ' Miss Mattie Lassiter recently sailed for foreign fields as a missionary. ' That is just what she wanted to do, and so I know she is happy. Now, Clara and Rose, look at the pretty bungalow in this bubble. Isn ' t It a dear? I wonder who is the fortunate mistress of that precious little home. Let ' s look in the window. Oh, there ' s a group of girls around a tea table and Irene Page Stevens is presiding over the table. I guess she ' s married and un- doubtedly happy by the look on her face. Next— see the Stancil Drug Store. And there ' s Lawrence Stancil standing in the door. The owner and proprietor, and boss of the whole thing. He ' s smiling as ever, and still Lawrence. But look at this bubble, kiddies. There ' s a sign which reads ' Carolina Power and Light Co., ' and over near the building are two boys that I believe I know. They are Eli Lee and Edwin Turnage. Of course they are civil engineers. _ Now look at this teeny, weeny bubble. I wonder if we can see anything in- side. Yes, I see a doctor ' s office, and I know he must be quite noted by the streams of people waiting outside. In the office talking to a patient I discover Sam Booker, who was the baby, and also one of the most intelligent members of our class. The little bubble burst, and I looked at the bowl that had been full of suds. It was almost used up. I could not imagine how long I had been blowing these fairy fortune tellers. I only knew I had been so interested that I had forgotten how late it was. But the children begged for just a few more and so I found the fates of four more of my old school mates. In one bubble, larger than the others, I find a crowded court room, with all m it eagerly awaiting the speech of the judge, and when he arises to deliver it — Thomas Watson. What a surprise. Another — and what a beautiful building under construction. Looking closely I am able to see the name of the architect and find to my great surprise that it is James Hill. — A room in a hotel, and two men sitting across from each other with a table covered with papers and documents between them. One is Marvin Adams a well known merchant in the town of Smithfield and the other is Carlton Adams, the owner of one of the largest veneer plants in North Carolina. They are great friends and seem to be engaged in an interesting conversation. There — all the bubbles have vanished, every one of them. But as I looked out at the gathering dusk, I sighed happily for my brief glimpse at each dear old pal. The bubbles had vanished, one by one, but nothing could take from me their memories.

The entire high school was enthusiastic, and many became members. One minstrel and one play have been given so far, and several more have been planned up to this time. Miss Helen Jones has started a music club, which consists of the high school students who receive piano instruction from her. The object of this club is to promote the interest of the pupils in classical music, and to develop their talents in playing. The Glee Club, this year, is under the supervision of Miss Francis White, vocal teacher. Although this is not the first year of public school music it has been greatly improved by the efforts of Miss White. For the first time in the history of the school, a parent-teacher association has been formed. At different meetings held in the High School building the parents and teachers have striven for closer cooperation and the general progress of our school. This year the high school has entered the triangular debates. The question involved is concerning the Port Terminal Bill. Up to the time the annual went to press the preliminaries had not been held and the participants were not known. We, the annual staff wish and hope for them all the success possible for the com- ing debates. Page Sixty-poub Page Sixty-five Calendar Sept. 8. School opens.

VISIONS created by the imagination precede the achievement of any really great accomplishment. The ability to weave the threads of imagination into the finished fabric is equally important. It has been the privilege of the Edwards ' Broughton Printing Company to interpret the ideas of the Staff and create in material form their vision. From the art work and engravings to the finished book, this volume is the result of organized cooperation with the Staff. Such able cooperation is one of the visions which precede the building of a successful business, and is a part of the working policy of the EDWARDS Broughton Printing Company. To those Staffs desiring complete cooperation from art work and engravings to the finished book, we offer unexcelled service. Complete service means undivided responsibihty as to the result — one organ- ization to correspond and talk with — one trained director to merge the many ingre- dients into the finished product. You, too, may be proud oiyour annual. Correspondence is Inviled EDWARDS y BROUGHTON PRINTING COMPANY RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA The Smithfield Herald, Tuesday, June 22, 1982- Class Of ' 25 Holds A Big Party By NOLIA WARD Smithfield High School Class of 1925 The old 1925ers of Smithfield High School had a big party June 12 at the home of Rose and Pat Patterson. There were 32 in our class. Sixteen are gone, 16 still living. We paid tribute to the deceased. There was a symbolic candle-lighting, prayer, and invocation by Colonel Henry Royall of Chapel Hill. Eleven class members were in attendance. Did we ever have a good time! I told them that W. H. Austin ' s Big Johnston County Store had the slogan Everything for everybody, and we must have had everything ourselves— love, fellowship, laughter, and fun. This was our eighth reunion. We talked about our age, ailments, etc. I asked everyone not to ask anyone how they were feeling. After all, I explained, we can ' t spend the night. When you boil it down, there is deafness, eye trouble, and arthritis. You have to have these things to be popular. All this brought to mind a story of a lady who was having trouble opening those crazy bottles (the ones with safety caps). She stepped out on the porch and asked a lad who was passing by to open the bottle for her. He said, Lady, you ' d better change bottles. I might not be here tomorrow. I hate those bottles. Our class was the first to have an annual, The Eagle. Pat Patterson read some things we did and said. We remembered some— all funny. A depression came along and The Eagle lasted only two years. We of the Class of 1925 have remembered, and still remember, the ones who have left us. We have planted dogwood trees in their memory on the Smithfield Town Commons and will plant more. We missed our home teacher. Miss Penny, who is now Mrs. Howard Farmer of Bailey. It was the first class party she has missed, due to illness. Everyone said the party, catered by Mrs. Washie ISchofield, was the best one yet: ; Goodbyes were said and everyone went his or her way with food for thought that would last a spell !
