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

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

SOPHIA LIGHT Age 17 Height 5 ' 2% Weight 109 Athletic Association; Dramatics ' 16; High School Literary Society. Handle her lightly. That is the accepted course in dealing with Sophia. She certainly believes in asserting her rights; and the name of the rights she claims is legion for they are many. If Sophia ever champions the cause ' of woman suffrage with her present enthusiasm, it will be woe to the plate glass windows of Tarboro. The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not moved by concord of sweet sounds Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. WILLIAM STATON LONG Age 18 Height 5 ' 7% Weight 165 County Commencement Marshal ' 14; High School Literary Society; Dramatics ' 16; Track 15, ' 16; Baseball ' 15, ' 16; Tennis Club; Ath- letic Association. Would you advise me to wear track shoes or dancing pumps? Can you think of Bill with- out thinking of advice? Possibly Bill thinks he would hurt your feelings by not appealing to your vanity. He ' s the personification of stolidity. Once he is convinced, there ' s some- thing doing to make him see the error of his way. If you don ' t believe that ask Lilla Dale. There is a great future in store for Bill, if Dame Fortune, the Science of Medicine, and Cupid smile upon him. Here ' s to Bill, our rock of Gibraltar. Don ' t give up the ship. 23
