Fifteen Woman in Politics BRILLIANT Frenchman has said “Would you judge a great Social movement, observe what role in it the woman played”. Woman has many roles to play in this world, there being few that are not open to her. To many she has brought honor, to some she has brought shame. Now woman has acquired the ballot. What will she make of this new role? The wind of sentiment inclines toward victory, but only time will tell. With the ballot woman is offered the same ad- vantage as man. Fields hitherto unconquered are hers to win. Woman now becomes more important in home, state and national life. Many of the op- posite sex have been so ready to pronounce judgment on woman in her new role. But to repudiate this judgment an old Latin philosopher has come to our aid, in saying. “Those who know little readily pronounce judgment”. This little saying should teach us to judge only where we have the knowledge. It would be foolish for an engineer to judge a cake, or the cook to criticise the bridge. This is not the first time that woman has been given the opportunity to participate in public life. In ancient Greece and in Europe of the middle ages, woman was accorded a surprising free- dom of education, and consequently exercises a surprisingly large influence over affairs. This in- fluence wras not always for the best, as may be seen from a study of the life of Catherine de Medici. And on the con'rary, it was often an affair of great good and mighty import, as witness by the reign of Elizabeth in England. The ballot for woman grew naturally out of education for woman. Education ought to give a person the proper background, the correct perspective, with which to view the facts of life as she may meet them. “The best claim that a college education can possibly make on your re- spect, the best thing it can aspire to accomplish for you.” William James, the grea: American psychologist said, “is this: that it should help you to know a good man when you see him. Then with the proper education woman will be fully capable of voting. Education gave woman the power that is knowledge. This power gave her the political power, that comes from knowledge of the affairs of government.” The giving of the vote to woman was of no great actual significance. It was merely the ratifying the act she had achieved for herself. In achieving the knowledge that is the real basis of political power. The negro, for instance, has the ballot, but because he lacks the ability to participate in the forming of a public opinion, lacks the knowledge, he has no real and genuine political power. “It’s not so much that ignorance of mankind that makes him ridiculous, as the knowin so many things that ain’t so,” says Josh Billings. Women as well as men, should be careful in their education, and not get the kind of knowledge that “a:n’t so”. But there can be no honest questioning of the intelligence of woman and her ability to acquire and digest true knowledge. To quote H. L. Mechar, American critic and writer on politics and literature, “Woman in truth are not only intelligent, they have almost a monoply of certain subtle and more utile forms of in- telligence”. Then surely, if for no other reason, woman should enter politics. That this in- telligence is not exactly the intelligence of man is also true. But it follows that the state should be given the benefit of the different viewpoint that is womans. She will bring in, new ideas, new hopes, and new fears. But coming down to real hard truth-----------government rests, as does civilization, upon the bedrock of the home, and the real maker of the home is woman. Since woman is now being offered the same advantages as man, she should therefore avail herself of the same opportunities of service to the common weal, lest the state and nation be denied the benefit of one half of the citizenship. Government in the end can build up or destroy the home. How necessary is it then that woman, the real home-maker, should take an active role, should have a prominent part in government. For the hand that rocks the cradle should rule the world for the benefit of the cradle. -ELIZABETH BUCHANAN. Sixteen Our Colors A bit of spray from the Ocean wave. Seemingly flung from God’s own hand; A snatch of moonlight As it fell on the earth— Elusive and calm; The mystery from a mystic fog; The sparkle from a babbling brook. Winding its way to the sea— The joy from our own laughter— Carefree-----youthful; The lilting echoes from dear. Loved voices— All these we wove into this lovely, Rippling strand of silver. A shaft of blue from a Sun bathed sky— Fadeless and unchanging; A petal from a new born flower, Velvety and cool; The darting gleam of a precious gem— Restless, searching As our own youth; The misty blue of far off hills'; The friendliness of a pair Of eyes— True and steadfast; A narrow band from the rainbows arc To glisten through our tears— All these we wove into this Heavenly bit of blue. And as we stand on the Beginning of this New Path which beckons— And leads—we know not where. Let us enshrine ivithin Our hearts— These colors—our colors! Let us pause—and just remember This day—that is. And the days—that were— And remembering—just be glad. —PAULINE MONCRIEF. Seventeen Class History ICH School, unlike all Gaul, is divided into four parts, the greatest of which is called Senior Territory. Similar to Caesar and his legions the class of ’24 has successively conquered these parts, and now, standing victors on Senior soil, is preparing to undertake greater campaigns. Dur- ing its four year campaign in High School, the army of the class of ’24 has won a lasting place in history for its clean and glorious record. After completing the course in the great training camp of Grammar School, we were placed under command of Misses Austin and Kawls, and Mr. Slice, and were ordered to advance upon the Freshman part. Com- ing from other training camps to join us were Pauline Moncrief, Broadus Vaughan and Walter Dargan, all of whom entered whole-heartedly into all our activities. The army was divided into two wings, both of which won many brilliant victories on the field. Steadily and successfully were we lead on by our commanders and led by Miss Austin we overcame a dreaded foe, Latin, which threatened to overcome us. So great was our ability that some of us were regularly seen, with gun on shoulder, doing guard duty around the headquarters of our Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Daniel. After successfully conquering the Freshman Part, we were ordered to advance upon the Sophomore Part. Our officers, Misses Brunson, Austin, Lew's, Scott and Goode very effeciently and capably led us to successes, which yet resound to our praise. This year the two wings were reunited so that we might make more determined advances. We were joined by Emmett England, Pauline Dove, Wistaria Arnold, who have prov- ed themselves loyal cohorts in our many battles. Upon advancing on the Junior Part, the need for organization was recognized, and we elected Louis Edwards president of our troops. With our advance upon the Junior part arose new threatening conditions. Even in the darkest moments of our advance our commander Miss Home, great- ly kept up our courage and spirits and under her efficient generalship great victories were won and new glories added to our record. Much might be said of our other officers, Misses Brunson and Magill and Mr. Gaines, who in their loyal and self-sacrificing way led us to great victories. Under rat Eighteen them we steadily advanced until our enemies surrendeerd and we stood victors upon Junior soil. This year Elizabeth Buchanan, Harriet Law, Dixon Brown and Carroll Boseman joined us, greatly aiding us in our ad- vances and adding honor to our record. By this time our efficiency had become so well recognized that we were ordered against the Senior Part, under the personal command of our great general, Miss Brunson. Like Caesar, she led us to great success by her wise commanding and personal bravery. So widespread was her fame in generalship that she was called upon to address generals of many other fields on the successful leading of an army. Advance was steadily made under the strategic command of our officers, Miss Rikard and Messrs. Miller and Gaines. The great city of Drama was sacked by our troops under the command of Miss Rikard, obtaining much glory and spoil for our army. New Volunteers, Novice Kirven, Eleanor Flowers, Laurens Mill- ing and Dixon Daniel came to us, and have loyally and bravely fought in our last advance. Fellow soldiers, in the field of educational training, faithfully have you worked and labored for the class and for the school. And, now, that our great campaign is completed, may you realize that your battles are just beginning. The great battlefield of life lies before you, and may you acquit yourselves always as true sons and daughters of St. John’s. —LESLIE EDWARDS.

So I followed its lure down a narrow ar.d beautiful road, not realizing the distance I walked until I became tired and sat down beneath a large oak. Here I sat lost in thought until I was suddenly awakened by a shrill and cracked voice uttering strange words in my ear. 1 looked up and say an old woman in peculiar attire standing beside me. Her withered, wrinkled face gave me an impulse to flee. But she held me as if by magic and motioned me to follow. The next moment 1 fou d myself with her in a gypsy tent amid mysterious hangings of brilliant colors. From some hidden place plaintive strains of soft music drifted in. The fumes of sweet incense filled the air and seemed to overpower me. I lifted my eyes and met the stare of the old woman riveted upon my face. My will power was gone! I sank into unconsciousness. Just how' long 1 remained thus I’ve never known. I was aroused by the touch of cold hands on my head. When 1 had collected my thoughts I saw on the table before me a large envelope addressed in my own handwriting to Ambassador James R. Coggeshall, Constantinople, Turkey. In surprise I hastily opened it and found it was surely my own signature and handwri.ing. This is what 1 read:— Dear James:— April 20, 1944. No doubt this letter will cause you some surprise, as twenty years have passed since we graduated from St. John’s. A recent visit to our old home town brought back recollections of our happy school days and each member of the class of ’24 and is responsible for this letter. I was the guest of Helen Evans, now married to the present mayor of Darling- ton and presiding over her beautiful home with the same grace that was hers in school days. An invitation ot our class reunion given in the magnificent gymnasium hall of St. John’s was the occasion of my visit. It was certainly a joy to be there. The flowers used for decorations were “Larkspur” and the color scheme silver and blue. By the way, the flowers were furnished by the Darlington Flower House, owned by Mary jeffords and Wistaria Arnold. The ice-cream was furnished by Dick Hyman, who is the wealthy owner of several large factories in the south. It seemed only natural to have present our old class president, Louis Edwards. And to think he is now Governor of South Carolina! Dick Brown, our treasurer, who is now Harvard’s much famed football Coach, was present too. We received a telegram from our Secretary, Elizabeth Gray, expressing her regrets for not being there. She is a doctor at the head of a hospital in California. We heard of her work through Emma Rhodes and Virginia Flowers, head nurses there, who were present. I was appointed in her place to write you about our reunion. Twenty-Three Several of our old classmates have achieved fame in a surprising way. Laurens Milling is owner of “Milling’s Greater Shows” and is himself the Chief Clown. One of his most famous performers is Pauline Dove, who is thrilling thousands as a tight rope walker. Vivian Sansbury is a wonderful parachute performer, also connected with this show. These three were absent as they are touring the west. What do you think? Broadus Vaughan is the author of a French grammar with a new accent and is at present trying it out on the inhabitants of a South Sea Island. Carrie Daniel after teaching several years in a kindergarten, married a wealthy widower with six children and is living happily in Kentucky. 1 missed seeing Emmett England. He is at present on an expedition to Mars to install a Weather Bureau there. Pauline Moncrief now resides in Chicago where she is a successful teacher of love-making by mail. She guarantees knowledge to her customers within four lessons. She is known as Mademoiselle Moncrief. Kimory Stanley has settled down as a druggist in Hartsville. He was not veiy successful at first, but finally he invented a beauty lotion which makes old maids of forty appear as maidens of sweet sixteen. His business increased so rapidly that he was forced to take Wallace Suggs as his partner. It was a disappointment not to see Annie Lee Sharpe. She was making an address on “Womans Duties” in Kansas City. She is Vice-President of an organiza- tion to instruct the men how to vote. I think we have reason to be proud of the fact that so many of our class have inventive ability. 1 suppose you have heard of the “Wonder Lotion” so much ad- vertised. It is guaranteed to grow a beard of six or eight inches in six months. Dixon Daniel patented it, and he is wearing a long beard too, as an advertisement. He is married and has a fine home here. Edna Stokes was present and responded to her name with a cheerful account of her latest book entitled “How to Manage Your Husband”. She has a cozy apart- ment in Lamar, S. C., and a kind and industrious husband who keeps house while she writes. Your old friend, William Howard, was present, enlivening the occasion with his old time wit and humor. He and Walter Dargan are handsome middle aged men, contented and wealthy owners of the noted “Dargan Howard Farms”. In addition to their advanced methods of farming they have discovered a new method of making chewing tobacco by combining equal parts of leather and rubber. They are enjoying bachelorhood. Can you believe that there is now a Matrimonial Bureau in Darlington! This Twenty-Four is corulucted by Helen Hilb, who is meeting with wonderful success. Her business slogan is “A Mate Guaranteed”. She answered to her name and gave us a glowing account of the success of her work. She is happily married to one of her applicants. Jessie Young was absent, as she lives in New York City, where she a model for the latest Parisian styles. We were delightfully surprised to have Emma Jean Daniel walk in unexpected- ly. She is an English Instructor at Columbia University. She was on a speaking tour during the summer months for the betterment of the English language. She happened to hear of the reunion while she was in Columbia, through Carrol Bose- man, who is Pilot for the Airplane transportation line between Columbia and Darlington. Novice Kirven was not present, but I learned that she owns a ranch in Arizona and raises fine horses. She rode one of her best horses in a reecnt horse show and received the cup. An added variety of the festivity were some beautiful selections furnished by the High Hill Orchestra under the directions of Eleanor Flowers, who is now principal of this Institution. Other attractions were: a lecture by Elizabeth Buchanan, who, having traveled in Spain for 2 years, is now a teacher of Spanish literature, at Rock Hill, S. C., and a Quequeela Snake Dance by America’s premier dance instructor, who is none other than Leslie Edwards. I believe I have carried out Louis’ instructions and told you something about each one of the dear old class of ’24. All who were present sent you their love. Sincerely, HARRIET LAW. P. S. No doubt you are wondering whether or not I am going to tell you any- thing of myself. 1 took a course in domestic science and I am now engaged in teaching classes of men how to cook—age limits sixten to thirty. I have been very successful so far. H. L. 7 wen ty'Five. Gallagh er and Shean at St. John s Oh, Mr. Miller, Oh, Mr. Miller Fourth High is the worst class I have ever seen.

For girls he doesn't care, Aiul where they are, young Wallace ain't. Oh, Mr. Gaines, Oh, Mr. Gaines, Emma Rhodes and Edna Stokes are always quiet. They know just when to speak.

Oh, Mr. Milling, Oh, Mr. Milling, To stop this nonsense I am quite willing. For this I certainly know, They can stand no more, Absolutely, Mr. Daniel? Positively, Mr. Milling. —LAURENS MILLING —DIXON DANIEL T wenty-Nine Last Will and Testament E, THE senior class of 1924, being of sound mind (as wit- nessed by the sound of our two trombonists) do hereby make this our last will and testament for the purpose of disposing of our vast accumulation of culture, wisdom and power. First, we direct that all of our just debts be paid, and among these we include all of those indescribable emotions aroused in us by the vocal and physical gyrations and effusions of our valuable and es- teemed instructors. And for the purpose of creating a memorable ex- pression of our appreciation, we further direct that these beloved teachers retain as their own, in trust for the diffusion among subsequent Senior classes, all of that great store of knowledge which they failed to impart to the present Senior class. To our envious beloved and aspiring successors, the Juniors, in mem- ory of their shining ignorance so plainly shown to us, and in order to correct this unpardonable fault, we bequeath them all of our brains. We further bequeath to our inferiors, the Juniors, the wisdom which has characterized us in all of our acts, and we sincerely hope that when it sinks through their adamantine skulls, they will derive at least half of the benefits that were reaped by us. We further bequeath to these aforesaid Juniors, the unusual efficiency which has characterized us, but we, the seniors, do not even dare to hope for any marked results such as we have shown. We further bequeath to the above mentioned Juniors, in return for the hardships, which they have suffered and borne with meekness during the term of 1923-24, the following privileges: The honor of using our spacious, comfortable class room and be- loved teachers; also the privilege of coming in the front door, if they have not intelligence enough to come through the side door; Also the use of the library where they can skip periods or loaf. We further bequeath to these aforesaid Juniors the right to use the electricity in the room to brighten it if Charles Brown is absent; also the right to stay in at first recess and skip the exercises. Thirty We further bequeath to the above mentioned Juniors the right to giv� ' a play if they have energy, spunk and intelligence enough to prepare one. And last, but not least, we bequeath to these Juniors the right and privilege to graduate, to receive a diploma and to leave St. John’s for ever and ever. Second: The Senior class, after making the above mentioned gifts, feel it their bounding duty to make the following gifts to individual juniors and dearly cherished faculty. To Elizabeth Boatwright, who is fond of Geography, and especially Great Britain, we leave a map of England. To Martha Mclnnes, a future automobile buyer, we leave a Stude- baker with Bill attached. To Grace Vaughan, intended country lawyer, we leave a Jack and a book on Law. To Sallie Winn, a flirtatious Junior, we leave the serene and sedate mien of Elizabeth Buchanan. To Virginia Beard, the firebrand of ’25, we leave James Coggeshall’s calm and serene air. To Elizabeth Coker, a timorous maid, we leave Bill Howard’s amaz- ing ability for arguing. To Elizabeth Player, who in company with Louis has dodged all the rough places, we leave a “Bumpsy Ford.” To Mary Gibson, we leave the music of a Serenade composed by Henry Ford and played by Bill Howard. To James Abbott and Frances Early, who are striving for less avoir- dupois, we leave Helen Hilb’s two books “Eat and grow thin” and “Tomorrow we diet.” To Tom DuBose, who has an extraordinary faculty for getting hurt in football, we leave a pass to McLeod’s Infirmary. To Wesley Howie and John Howie, we leave Leslie Edward’s ability to guess correctly, which they will find useful in Latin class the morning after the night before. To Bill Spencer, and Dargan Humphries, we leave a permit to skip periods, because we are afraid they will otherwise be caught loafing in the library. Thirty-One To Charles Brown, we leave this question to meditate upon: “Why use a sax when free air is more convenient?” To Willard Gray, a language shark, we leave Dick Brown’s wondrous ability to bluff in English class. To Bill Todd, athlete, we leave the Herculean strength of Broadus Vaughan. To Wilbur Mozingo and Joseph Saleeby, who although Juniors, are still fresh, we leave a government bulletin on the salting down and curing of fresh meat. To Ben Ellerbe, a studious Junior, we leave Louis Edwards’ motto, “Don’t do today that which you can put off until tomorrow.” To Claude Vaughan, who is any day to abandon his sax, we leave a fine new Gibson Banjo. To Miss Brunson, whose patience we’ve tried, lovingly and without malice, we bequeath to her next year’s class of idiots. To Miss Rikard, we leave a Junior by the name of Bill, since he has lost James. To Mr. Gaines, our beloved French teacher, we leave another year of suffering, and hope that he will survive all atrocious pronunciations. To Mr. Miller, our learned English teacher, we leave all conjugated nouns and declined verbs, as we have no further use for them. To Miss Lake and Mr. Rogers, we leave our library, including two famous volumes, “Jack the Giant Killer,” and “Rebecca of Sunny Farni.” To Miss Magill we leave a Mill----er-----in Rock Hill. In witness where, and as an evidence of the philanthropy generosity and public spirit that has ever actuated us, we have hereunto affixed cali- graphic symbols of our names, in solemn seal this prophetic acquitation day of joy for us and sorrow for you. —SENIOR CLASS OF ’24.

Thurey-fimt And now as our last class meeting draws to a close let us linger for a little while in tender retrospection. As Cicero says, “we were not born for ourselves, alone, neither do we live for ourselves, alone.” Do not these words suggest to us the hosts of loving friends who have lived not for them- selves alone but for us? First in our hearts are our parents who have truly lived with us through all these eleven years and are graduating in spirit with us to-night. It is to their tender and loving care that we owe the most profound apprecia- tion and gratitude. Next to home comes St. John’s, who shall always fill a warm spot in our hearts tempered with the sweet influence of our superintendent, teachers, and fellow students, who have labored so patiently with us and given us such wholesome encouragement for the tasks we were to perform. It is our prin- cipal and special teacher we would give preference now, as it is she who has loved us best and kept over before us the ideals which lead to a life of in- tegrity and altruism. Nor would this expression of gratitude be complete without a reference to those other friends, who tho not active figures at St. John’s, yet labor unselfishly for our welfare—our trustees. Now, classmates, a last word with you! It seems only fitting that this last word should be said in the midst of this loveliest season of the year, when all nature is bubbling forth her joyous gladness and when her golden sunshine seems to pierce for a season the unexplored forest of the future, re- vealing so much that is enchanting. For although spring has “that nameless pathos in the air which dwells in all things fair”, yet her every bud suggests a promise of summer and of harvest. So our thoughts cannot but revert in sad regret to the past and to the hours of sweet companionship we have had at work or at play—in the old familiar classrooms or beneath the friendly oaks of our loved campus; yet like the compass to the pole they must perforce fly to the future and the golden promise which it holds. Let us keep this past with its memories and its lessons deep in our hearts, but let us like good soldiers set our eyes steadfastly to the front, for “who can tell what golden hours and with full hands may be waiting us in the distance”. —ELIZABETH GRAY. Thirty-Six ST. JOHN'S HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA VIk. Angus Gainey, Director ANNIE LEE SHARPE Football Sponsor P l LINE MONCRIEF Baseball Sponsor MR. JACK ROGERS Coach Thirty-Eight 1924 BASKETBALL Thirty-Nine ROBERT HART In Robert behold the genius of the class. And a genius is always interesting, you know. Last year he was written up as one of the most interesting people in our school. It was pre- dicted then that he would one day make a name for himself in the scientific world. Next to genius tin? most striking thing about Robert is his sincerity and his big kind heart. If Bob is your friend, then you have a friend that sticks. HELEN HI LB Here we have a fair young girl with curling auburn hair. Who is always smiling as if she knew not care. Yet she is not careless, but efficient and sedate. With brains and will and wisdom to cope with things of weight. WILLIAM HOWARD Just a glance at this alert brown-eyed boy would tell you that he is as full of mischief as the day is long. But there is something besides mischief in that handsome head of his—there is plenty of gray matter there too. Moreover. William has a great big heart brimming over with loyalty. Once your friend, always your friend. That’s Bill. If you don’t believe me, ask Walter. HARRY IILTUIINSON Who doesn't like Ed? Why just a smile from him is enough to start the day off right. He never refuses to do one a favor, and in social circles as well as at school is a general favorite. BENEDICT HYMAN In chapel each morn we hear Dick’s sweet He has a good share, horn. As nobody will deny. And all of his schoolmates say, While he does not shirk That Dick is a lad who makes you feel glad, The hardest work. On the gloomiest kind of a day. So his honors have piled up high. And of brains. I declare. MARY JEFFORDS Mary. Mary, she’s NOT contrary. With work complete and duty sweet. And how does her garden grow? And good marks all in a row. NOVICE KIRYEN In September. 102 1. Novice came from way over yonder at St. Charles for the express pur- pose of graduating with 11s. thereby adding one more touch of distinctoin to our already wonder- ful class. For Novice is a girl of distinct individuality. She thinks her own thoughts, plans her own acts—and minds her own business. A refreshingly natural and original personality, and very attractive, is Novice. HARRIET LAW Harriet came to St. John’s two years late, but even at that she succeeded in becoming an active and popular member of the class. When her face is in repose you might call her serious, but when she laughs, mischief fairly sparkles in those beautiful eyes of hers. In short, her life is a happy and charming combination of duty and pleasure. LALRENS MILLING ’Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good. ’Twas Laurens’ ill health which kept him from finishing last year—and that was certainly good for 11s. Witty, eloquent, attractive, brilliant, he has proved a valuable asset to that famous aggregation of genuises—the (’lass of 24. Forty 4 Did you ever See one Who can Write free-verse PAULINE MOXCRIEF Like Pauline? Nor is this all. She herself Is a brilliant As one of her own gems Of free-verse. Versatile. Scintillating, Vet deep and cool. Sweet, too. And fair— That’s Pauline. EMMA RHODES Devotion to duty, and serenity of character shine from Emma’s sweet face, and make her one of these restful people whose society is a comfort and a blessing. Calmly and quietly she goes her way, never slighting a task and yet never boasting of her success. No wonder we all like Emma. VIVIAN SAXSRURY Her voice is ever sweet and low, is Vivian’s. She never raves, nor shouts, nor scolds. In fact, gentleness is her long suit. And like most gentle people she has a good bit of persistence ami perseverance. Sbe is not a quitter, but carries on until success crowns her efforts—and then—greets success with gentle modesty. ANNIE LEE SHARPE If there is one thing more than another that Annie Lee suggests, tis a flower newly washed in dew. She is as fair and fresh and sweet as a May morning, and her eyes are as blue as a summer sky. A sweet, attractive, wholesome girl is our Annie Lee, and a great little sport. KIMORY STANLEY A good all-round boy is Kimory. In Class, in athletics, and in the general activities of the school he has done his part cheerfully and efficiently. lie is a lad you can depend on, every- time and every-where. EDNA STOKES This simple natural maid pursues the even tenor of her way,,independent in action and un- assuming in demeanor. There is a quiet power and force liboiit her which makes for success. A fine little student, and a fine little girl is Edna. Wallace suggs W—e A—11 L—ike Lr—ike L—ads A—lways C—ourteous E—fficient S—uggs I —nassuming G—ood G—enerous S—ensible BKOADUSALEXANDER VAUGHN It is characters like Rroadus that make up the backbone of a class and of society—quiet, modest, considerate, dutiful. He is always in his place on time, with his work prepared, and is ever responsive to any request from teachers or classmates. He is one who will d i tin work and leave the boasting to someone else. JESSIE YOUNG A breath of fresh air is not more welcome or invigorating than Jessie. She’s alive to her finger tips with vim and pep and fun. She is youth personified—gay, laughing and yet full of courage and ability. There is no task too hard for her to tackle, and as for failure—she wouldn’t recognize it if she met it in the road. JESSIE is just another way for spelling SI ('(’ESS. Forty-One WISTARIA ARNOLD Aren’t we glad that Wistaria deserted North Carolina for the Palmetto State in time to join us in first high? Always cheerful, accommodating, public spirited, she has identified her- self with the class and the school. Moreover, as a student, she has made an enviable record. CARROLL BOSEMAX This big fellow very wisely decided to desert Auburn for St. John’s in the fall of 1022. Nor has he proved a quitter—having once made up his mind to drive seven miles to school every day, he lias never faltered in his resolution, but has applied himself to his books and proved a success in ids classes. Auburn’s loss was our gain, for what would we have done without Carroll’s friendly smile and his quiet humor? DIXON BROWN Dixon weighs 140 lbs., and every ounce is grit. On the gridiron against heavy odds and despite serious injuries, he has fought manfully for the “blue and white.” In the class room, also, he has displayed pluck, perseverance and determination. Socially he is a bright and shin- ing light. So it isn’t surprising that Dick’s a general favorite and numbers his friends by the hosts. EI, IZA BETH BUCH A X A X Elizabeth has so many gifts and has achieved success along so many lines that to describe her in a few words is no easy task. As a student, she has covered herself with glory; as lead- ing lady, she had a large part in the success of the class play; as a violinist, she has helped put St.‘ John’s orchestra on the map. Last, but not least, as a sweet, attracive girl, she has won the hearts of us all. JAMES C 1GGESHALL J—list C—ourteous 0—bedient A—ble G—entleinanly G—raceful M—usieal E—a r nest S—teady K—ffieient H—andsome A—greeable S—incere L—ikable L—oyal CAROLINE DANIEL We may as well admit in the beginning that this dark-eyed girl is misehevious. In fact, that, is one of her chief attractions. Dependable too. is Caroline, accommodating and school- spirited. If you assign her a task in behalf of St. John's you may know that it will be done cheerfully and well. DIXON DANIEL The ingenuity of Dixon Daniel has been an important factor in the successful career of the class of ’24. He has had a finger in everything from drawing pictures for the Senior Edition all the way down to constructing a window and fireplace for the class play. Whenever an effi- cient hand was needed we sent an S.O.S. call for Dick, and he never failed to answer. EMMA JEAN DANIEL “The angels sang in Heaven when she was born.” Because the angels love music, and they saw that Emma Jean possessed this gift. Do you suppose this is why her presence always in- sures harmony? Things just can’t be out of tune when this sweet, well poised girl is present. Here's to Emma Jean and her violin ! WALTER DARGAX Our class was incomplete until this good looking lad from Mechansville joined our ranks His quiet, dry wit. gentlemanly manner and obliging ways at once made him a favorite, while his high sense of honor have won for him the confidence of us all. Forty-Two PAULINE DOVE In September, 1921, Pauline Dove came from the community which hears her name to this Darling-town of ours. hat we would have done without her goodness only knows. For we’ve never had a cheer leader with more enthusiasm, pep, vim, and school spirit than this same Miss Dove: LESLIE EDWARDS ersatile is the word which best describes tin's young man. Historian, orator, poet musi- cian, actor, business man; and best of all—GENTLEMAN! That’s Leslie. LOUIS EDWARDS There is something about Louis Edwards which makes him one of the most popular boys of the class. It is not only his musical ability or his intellect, or his courtesy or his good humor it is that indescribable something called personality which makes him stand out as a leader and an all-round good boy. EMMETT ENGLAND It was in January ’22, when Emmett cast his lot in with ours. Nor was it long before we discovered that he was possessed of unusual qualities of heart and mind. These with his good looks and courtesy have made him one of the most popular boys at St. John’s. HELEN EVANS I—am going to tell you now of a charming little lass, N—-one other is more charming in all our charming class, I)—aiuty little maiden with eyes of sparkling brown, I—n a head as full of mischief as any head in town. V—ery fond of children too, and to them very kind, I—u kindergarten work, no doubt, some day success she’ll find. D—on’t you see she has a way that’s all her very own? I —nless she goes with those� she likes, she’d rather go alone. A—ml now just one more thing of Helen I will, tell, L—ook at each first letter—they sure describe her well. I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-A-L—HELEN EVANS. ELEANOR FLOWERS When Eleanor first came to us (in Sept. ’22) it was rumored that owing to Uupid’s wiles her stay would be very short. Rut the goddess of wisdom overcame the little blind bov and kept Eleanor with us to the happy end. We have learned to like and admire this quiet, studious girl and are proud to call her ours. MARY FLOWERS Somehow Virginia’s name just suits her. Every day she comes to school as fresh and sweet as a flower But this does not mean she is frivolous, for she has brains and puts them to good use. And when she leaves St. John’s the memory of duty well done will linger like the fragrance of a flower in the path she has trod. ELIZABETH GRAY It takes very fine words to describe such a fine girl as Elizabeth Gray. Brilliance of in- tellect, strength of character and integrity of purpose are hers to a marked degree Vnd vet .tis the pure, white soul of her that shines through her face and makes her what she is—an inspiration and a joy to those who know her best. CECIL HARPER Although a native Darlingtonian, Cecil spent his first two high school years in Ravenel, but decided in 1921 that there was no place like St. John’s, and asked for membership in the ( lass of 24. He is a bright, friendly youth, with a winning smile and pleasant disposition, which have won him many friends.

I’ve been wondering ever since if he should find a pair of socks with no opening at all, how he would manage to get them on.
