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

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

RUPERT ANDREWS PHILIPS Age 15 Height 5 ' 7 Weight 114 State Triangular High School Debate ' 16; High School Literary Society; Dramatics ' 16. Pat has not been with us long enough for us to find out all his good qualities — especially as he does not proclaim them from the house- tops, as some of us are accused of doing. It has been said, you know, that still waters run deep. We see in him a second Demosthenes or a worthy successor to our friend, Marcus Tullius Cicero. Give me liberty or give me death. LILLA DALE ROSENBAUM Age 17 Height 5 ' % Weight 102 K Business Manager The Tar-bo-rah; Class Historian; County Commencement Marshal ' 15; High School Literary Society; Athletic Associa- tion; Tennis Club; Class Representative Arbor Day ' 16; Dramatics ' 15, ' 16. Lilla Dale, the Queen of Willowdale. Di- plomacy is her outstanding trait. That has stood her in good stead as Business Manager of The Tar-bo-rah. Her vocabulary doesn ' t con- tain either can ' t or no. ' She is the small- est in the class in size, but not the smallest in our estimation. What would we do without those giggles? She has one failing, however; she always laughs at her own remarks — because some one must, she says. Her soul is pure, and sweet, and while, All good is garnered there. 22
