ANNIE ELIZABETH WORSLEY Age 18 Height 5 ' 6 Weight 148 Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class; County Commencement Marshal ' 15; High School Lit- erary Society; Athletic Association; Dramatics ' 15, ' 16. Elizabeth must have been brought up on the famous old saw, Children should be seen, not heard. Else she would never have ac- quired that sweet, low voice of hers. If voice is an index to character, we must declare Eliza- beth a clinging vine. Perhaps it ' s just as well to do so, anyway; for if soft words will melt a stony heart, what effect must they have upon an iceman? A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command. LILLA BLANCHE FRYER Age 18 Height 5 ' % Weight 98 Dramatics ' 16; High School Literary Society. Blanche must be keeping the grades of her classmates. After each test she religiously can- vasses the class with the query Wha ' dye get? We wonder what motive prompts her. Is it curiosity, or is it human interest? If promptness is a trait by which we may judge future successes Blanche may expect great things; for she is always here and always on time. A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent. 18

ANNIE ELIZABETH FOUNTAIN Age 18 Height 5 ' 2Y 2 Weight 115 State Triangular High School Debate ' 16; Class Poet; Tennis Club; Athletic Association; Dramatics ' 16. What the future holds for Annie is a mystery as yet. Her talents lie in many directions, and under that flaming thatch many schemes are born. She may rank among the world ' s most renowned poets. Again, she may convert the African heathen. Still again, she has a chance to win the World ' s Tennis Champion- ship. If she follows the suggestions given in Preparing for Future Citizenship, she will be a veritable Mrs. Pankhurst. Of all the arts in which the wise excel Nature ' s chief masterpiece is writing well. ROBERT MAYO DAVIS Age 16 Height 5 ' 7 Weight 125 Marshal ' 14; High School Literary Society; Athletic Association; Dramatics ' 14. Bob is the happiest and best-natured boy in our class. In spite of his handsome map, he has managed to stay clear of ladies — whether because of bashfulness or of lack of time we do not know. However, we have recently been encouraged by improvement along this line. He is one of our leading Chemistry students, and some day we hope to see his name in the hall of fame along with those of Dalton and Downey. and still the wonder grew t one small head could carry all he knew.

ARTHUR JOSEPH KNIGHT Age 17 Height 5 ' 9 Weight 150 Baseball ' 14, ' 15, ' 16; Dramatics ' 16; High School Literary Society; Athletic Association. When it comes to juggling with periphrastics and Latin derivatives, Knight is on the job. That concludes his stellar role in school. Outside he is a shining light on the baseball field. No flies in the center-field go slighted when he is about. His chief ambition is to make a home run in Kinston. A little learning is a dangerous thing. EDGAR LEE HART Age 17 Height 5 ' 10% Weight 133 County Commencement Marshal ' 15; High School Literary Society; Athletic Association; Tennis Club; Dramatics ' 16. This face is not a new one by any means. In school he is not at all as bad as he looks. He always comes with his hair combed and his clothes pressed as if he had just stepped out of a bandbox — that had been slept on. In the new fashions he ranks with the latest in town, especially in demonstrating the new overcoat. Jew Baby, as he is commonly called, is some- what a ladiesman. He takes as naturally to the ladies as a duck to water; and the unhappy side of the situtaion is that the ladies do not believe in reciprocity. Ed ' s greatest ambition is to become traffic manager on the E. C. R. A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men. 19
