Benjamin Arthur Gardner Irving James Gillette Bishibi We go to school to use o%ir heads and not our tongues. Arthur is one of our hardest workers. He always takes a big part in the class activities, and ' s usually willing to give his ideas concerning anything that comes before the class. If he is not telling a witty joke he is a.sking questions. Track team 2 ; Basketball 4 ; North Carolina Club 4 ; Literary Society 4 ; Current Events Club 4. Yankee A friend in need is a friend indeed. No one can have a better friend than Irving — he has won friendship from u.s all. He is a good sport, and has been our companion through the four years of toil and hardship. We consider him the wittiest member of our class and he well deserves this honor.
