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

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

CATHERINE MARY PENDER Age 17 Height 5 ' 5 Weight 10S Assistant Editor The Tar-bo-rah; County Commencement Marshal ' 15; President Tennis Club ' 16; High School Literary Society; Athletic Association; Class Representative Arbor Day ' 16; Dramatics ' 15, ' 16. Put it in the Annual. How many times have we heard this expression? It ' s an indica- tion of Catherine ' s whole-souled interest in The Tar-bo-rah. The class has decided that she is the most studious member. She must be a clever politician to acquire such a reputation. To find her, set out in search of Ella; chances are that the quest will be successful. Arid her face is lily-clear, Lily-shaped, and drooped in duly To the law of Us own beauty. ELLA BANNING PENDER Age 17 Height 5 ' 214 Weight 118 Marshal ' 14; Reporter Senior Class; Vice- President Athletic Association; Dramatics ' 15, ' 16; Tennis Club. For she ' s the Queen of Vanity Fair. Ella is our representative in the Smart Set. Laugh and be merry is her motto. It ' s a musical laugh, and it has a right to be, because — well, you ' ve heard Ella sing. She ' s our Prima Donna. There ' s another subject Ella is an authority on — listen anil we ' ll whisper it to you. It ' s men-men-men. Sweetness of manner and grace devoid of pride Might hide her faults if she had faults to hide. 21
