Within my sparkling depths Lie stories long untold. Of youthful maids with burnished skins And warriors brave and bold. All these have long since passed away. Their tales I only know. The tales of love, the hunt and war. They told me long ago. Others have come since they have gone, A tribe that ' s dear to me, The dearest friends I ' ve ever had. They cling to my memory. Wigwams have changed to college halls, Council fires are no more, Hut life remains and is the same As in those days of yore. hen the long, long day is over. And shades of evening fall, They gather in the twilight. In answer to my call. And they tell me all their troubles, Joys, sorrows, toil, and care. Thus they tell me of their college And all that is found there. Within these walls the chiefs assembled, Teach daily without fail. The crafts and arts that braves may learn Knowledge of the unbroken trail. And thus each year leads on to the next As water flow s on to the sea. May God guide their barks to the sea of success, These friends so dear to me. ( Selected ) Pace 26 : cMfssJp eeta Smith ( y oponsor for Senior Class EARL H.

An athlete playing for his Alma Mater, Earl merits the love and respect of his team-mates, the appreciation of all who love the Old Gold and Black. As a student he has made a wonderful record. He is cherished by his class-mates and honored by his teachers. We find that he upholds the highest ideals, that he is a good sport and a fine fellow. He is always courteous, has a calm and dignified manner, and is a sincere friend. As he leaves, the best wishes of al! go with him, that he may continue to have the rich success he deserves.

She has a pleasing personality and a charming manner that make everyone love her. By merely knowing her our lives are made happier. Not only is she a good student, but she takes an active part in outside activities and is an all-round good girl. May her path- way be strewn with life ' s fairest flowers. Page 28 ERW ' IN S.

We never find a task too great for Starnes. He first believes he can do a thing, and then proceeds to show the others that he can. Starnes was voted the most athletic boy in our class : he was a football hero in our hardest games this year. His loyalty to his Alma Mater will never be forgotten. His debating ability is never questioned. His business ability and perseverance in the management of the Annual deserves the highest commen- dation. With his energy and determination we can predict a bright future for him.

The most popular girl of our Senior Class ! Jo was elected to this honor because she deserves it. She has friendliness, jollity, generosity, talent, love, beauty, and our admi- ration. She has made a commendable record at Weaver, being a good student and a gifted speaker. That smile of greeting she has at all times radiates good feeling and makes us all happier. Jo is a pal to be appreciated and admired. We anticipate for her a glorious future. May the obstacles she overcomes be as many as the hearts she slays ! Best wishes !

Carlyle is one of the most studious members of the student body ; he thoroughly mas- ters everything as he comes to it. Law is his chosen profession. On the platform, his eloquence is such that okj Demosthenes himself would feel jealous, and old Zeus from Mt. Olympus would know his thunder out-rivaled by the matchless oratory of this man. His winning personality has made him popular with both the faculty and the student body. Carlyle was voted the most likely to succeed in the Senior Class. Luck and best wishes from every member to our young lawyer ! ELEANOR TROWBRIDGE Weaverville, North Carolina Her gesture, motion, and her smiles, Iter wit, her voice, my heart beguiles.

Eleanor is one of the persons who have helped to make our two years at Weaver most enjoyable. It was she who greeted and welcomed us when we came as freshmen in the autumn of ' 28. She makes high grades in her school work and takes an active part in many outside activities ; but perhaps she is known best fur her dramatic ability and her beautiful voice. Eleanor dear, in all of vour future life, vou carry with vou the love of the 1930 Senior Class. Pace 30 JAMES T. BARDEN. JR. Wilmington , N. C.

S. A. Club ; President of Epworth League ; Glee Club. One doesn ' t find real men like Jack everyday, nor everywhere. They just aren ' t made like him. On the gridiron he is a hero ; in the class room he is a scholar ; but above all he is a gentleman. He is a leader in everything both social and religious. Jack was unani- mously voted the most popular boy in the Senior Class ; he breaks the hearts of half of our fair co-eds on the campus, and is a buddy to the other half. He has won for him- self many laurels and has made an enviable record during his stay at Weaver. For you, Jack, we predict a bright and prosperous future, a success in every sense of the word. RESSIE KATE MEECE Brevard, North Carolina A perfect woman nobly planned. To warn, to comfort, and command; And yet a spirit still and bright, With something of an angelic light. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Superintendent of Sunday School: Debate Council; Bre- vard and B. I. Club; Tennis Club; Weaver Derby Club; Assistant to Dean ' 29, ' 30; Life Service Band. In Ressie Kate we find the embodiment of all that is good, pure, and true. Her char- acter reveals itself before you in kind, friendly, thoughtful deeds. She is a favorite of the student body and the faculty. We all love you, dear ole school-mate, and you will never be forgotten by the class of ' 30. We wish for you the reality of your fondest hopes and desires. Pace 31 J.

The girl with the golden hair and blue dreamv eves, Loleeta is a representative co- ed with a sparkling personality and a heart for any fate. She is bright, friendly, witty, intelligent, attractive, and charming— what we are trving to say is that she is an al. -round good sport and that we all love her. ' Tis great to know you, Ma Chere !

Delphian Literary Society, Critic ' 29, Secretary ' 30 ; Day Debate Committee ' 29 ; As- sistant Baseball Manager ' 29 ; Tennis Club ; Haywood County Club ; Basketball Squad ' 29- ' 30. The more we know of Harry, the better we like him. By his sense of humor, and his friendliness he has often made us forget our worries and troubles. Harry is a true pal, and we have always been able to depend upon him to do his part. He is a student of ex- ceptional mental ability ; and if we didn ' t like him so well, we should envy him his good grades. Remember, Harry, your old Alma Mater is backing you up. LOCKE MARTIN Wadesboro, North Carolina And still zve gazed, and still the wonder grew; That one small head could carry all she knew. Mnemosynean Literary Society : Debate Council ; Commencement Marshall, Chief ; Pep Reporter; U. S. A.

We shall remember her because of her high principles and winning personality. As a student, she is rewarded by good grades, which come as a result of thoughtful preparation. Her many friends at Weaver wish for her happiness and success in her chosen profession, whatever it may be. Pace 33 CLIFFORD H.

During Clifford ' s two years at Weaver, lie has taken an active part in all phases of school life. His chapel talks have been a source of inspiration to the entire student body. His most excellent disposition and earnest industry have made him loved by all. He has chosen for his life ' s work the calling of Christ. Nowhere can a finer Christian character be found, and to Clifford goes our very best wishes. MARY VIRGINIA COX Stanley, North Carolina is better to wear out than to rust out.

She is the most athletic girl in our class and is a member of the Athletic Council. She has a sunny disposition and is a hard worker. Her willingness to work and the good she has done iii the Epworth League have been an inspiration to all of us. We all love you Ginger ; and wish for you the success you merit. Pace 34 FRANK S.

Congrat ulations to you from the Senior Class, Frank ! For one whole year at Weaver you didn ' t let Cupid even pierce your heart. But this year things are different — and how! Frank is the first to reach Crutchfield Hall and the last to leave. He is kind, peaceable, and congenial and has developed an interest in all campus activities. We know that there is a great future in store for you. Best wishes from the Senior Class ! LILLIE MAE RUSSELL Albemarle, North Carolina have lived and loved.

We shall remember her and the quiet, modest way in which she goes about her work. When she is teaching next year, we are sure that she will win the love and admiration of her pupils; but judging from the many letters she is receiving, she may not teach very long Anyway, we wish her joy, happiness, and success in both her love and her career.

Jimmie has been at Weaver so long that he has al- most become a Weaver tradition. He has always been on the entertaining committee and deserves a one plus on his college attitude for the chivalrous manner in which he lias treated the visiting girls on the campus. He does his work well, but he is not in the habit of taking things too seriously. Remember, Jimmie, you have our very best wishes. VELMA PARKER Norwood, North Carolina She ' s lovely, sweet, and all the rest thai might be said about her; But of all I say, this is the best — We couldn ' t do without her.

In Velma we find a girl whom we all love and respect. Her personality has made her a host of friends. She is one of those persons who know just when to be serious and when to laugh. We hope that the bells of joy and happiness will ring for you as faithfully as you have rung the bells at Ole Weaver. Pace 36 WILLIAM S.

I. Transylvania County Club; Commercial Club, President; College Council, Secretary; Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Clio-Euterpean Play ' 29; Business Manager Clio-Euterpean Play; U. S. A. Club. If you are loaking for a dependable or trustworthy man, we do not fail to recommend Bill. His two years at Weaver have been clean and manly, and he has always stood for the things that are right. We find him a wonderful debater; and if you don ' t believe he can act, you just ought to have seen him in Honor Bright. Pruett, whether he be in the halls of Congress, on the stage, or in some other business, we are sure will be a success. And, Bill, old boy, we are betting on you.

Transylvania County Club ; U. S. A. Club, Secretary ; Glee Club ; Basketball ' 30. Our Cheer Leader! And How? Winnie, what would our cheering be without you? The many little offices you have been given show just how much we think of you. Yet your fame does not stop here; Weaver will lose a great deal, of its pep when Winnie tells the dear old place good-bye. You have endeared yourself to us ; we shall miss you heaps : but remember we are for you, Winnie, and know that you will win.

S. A. Club. The Class President, unassuming, nonchalant, care- tree, and popular! He is practical and yet amusing; he is a good athlete as well as a good student. Bill ' s greatest weak- ness is falling in love; but this doesn ' t make him less admirable to any of us. He holds an important place in our social life and college activities. Our best wishes attend him in whatever profession he chooses. ANNIE ELIZABETH GRAY R ' JTHERFORDTON. NORTH CAROLINA 1 cannot check my girlish blush; my color comes and goes.

Annie, we shall always treasure your acquaintance. We consider ourselves lucky in having so fine a girl as you in our class. We know that there is a great future in store for you, because amiability plays no small part in success. After voting you the sweetest girl in our class, Annie, we also gladly admit that you are one of the most intellectual. A sweet girl, an intellectual girl What an unusual combination! Here ' s joy and happiness to you from the entire class. Pace 38 OTTIS WALKER Sophia, North Carolina True happiness consists not in multitudes of friends, But in the worth and choice. Cliosophic Literary Society ; Chairman of Program Committee ; Debating Club ; Student Council, ' 29 ; Football Squad ; Baseball Squad ; Tennis Club ; Piedmont-Eastern Carolina Club. Walker ' s quiet fun and unassuming manner have gained for him a multitude of friends at Weaver. He is one of those few who are never too busy to help a friend. Not only is Walker very popular but he is a well-dressed boy. Should you want to know tin- latest concerning the styles and fashions, ask Walker. We don ' t know his plans, but we are safe in assuming that wherever he goes he will make a host of friends. IDA LEE POT EAT Fletcher, North Carolina Here ' s to the girl with a heart and a smile That makes the bubble of life worth while. Mnemosynean Literary Society, Secretary ' 29, Vice-President ' 30, Member of the Program Committee ; Life Service Band ; Dramatic Club ; Glee Club ; Elected Peppiest Girl in the Senior Class ; Assistant Sunday School Superintendent : Basketball ' 29- ' 30, Manager ' 30 ; Tennis Club; Home Economics Club; Haywood-Rutherford-Polk-Henderson County Club ; Reading Contest. Ida Lee possesses just those characteristics which we all strive for but few attain; She is fun-loving, jolly, sincere, and studious. Weaver never had a more loyal student than Ida Lee. We are expecting great things from her, and we feel confident that she won ' t disappoint us. Page 39 m WILLIAM C. STUBBS Blounts Creek, North Cabolh Write one who loves his felloiv men.

The way to judge one ' s popularity is by one ' s friends. Stubby has a host of friends at Weaver, and everyone has found him t be a true-blue friend. If honesty, persistency geniality, and pleasantness are characteristic of greatness, then Stubby belongs to the truly great. He has taken an active part in society work ' and is a successful debater. Last year he wen the Dry Debate Medal awarded by the Clios. He has been a loyal student, and, Weaver will be the 1 .ser when Commencement Dav rolls around. VIRGINIA PROFFITT Bald Creek, North Carolina So unaffected , so composed a mind; So firm, yet soft; so strong, yet so refined. Mnemosynean Literary Society, Chaplain ; Senior Class Prophet ; Romance Language Club ' 29; Glee Club; Weaver Derby Club; Secretary of Sunday School; Buncombe County Club. Level-headed, dignified, smiling— that ' s the Virginia we see ; capable, efficient, trust- worthy—that ' s the Virginia we admire; jolly, friendly, a good sport— that ' s the Virginia we love. These qualities have won for her the respect and esteem of everyone at Weaver. What more needs to be said ? Pace 40 ARCHIE F. CARR Mt.

Cliosophic Literary Society, Representative to the College Council ; Georgia-Tennessee- South Carolina Club : Class Poet : Elected the wittest Boy in the Senior Class ; Clio- Euterpean Play. Archie, hailing from Davidson College, has made a tine addition to our class. A successful actor, a good student, a congenial friend, mischievous, witty, — that ' s Archie. Archie is the shark of sharks in languages. He speaks Spanish like a native. Archie is one of the most original members of our class. He is a gentleman, a brilliant student, and a good sport. Whether it be in diplomatic service, on the stage, or in whatever he under- takes, we are sure he will make a record that is outstanding. GENEVA CARTER Weaverville, North Carolina She does her task from ' lax to day And meets whatever comes her way. Mnemosynean Literary Society : Life Service Band ; Recitation Contest ; Buncombe Coun- ty Club ; Weaver High School. Geneva is one of our town girls. We wish she stayed in Crutchfield Hall because we love her and enjoy her company. Her scholastic record is one to be proud of. She is a very loyal member of her class and society. It was she who won our Good English contest prize last year. Her genuine qualities of womanliness assure her success in life. Page 41 JOHN T.

Delphian Literary Society, Chaplain, Janitor; Student Council ' 30; Baseball ' 30; Tennis Club; U. S. A. Club; Elected It in the Senior Class. John, we all envy you of your popularity; but we have to admit that such popularity must be deserved. Not everyone has John ' s humor, his pleasant bearing, his frank courtesy, and his friendliness. Why read At the Theatre when John is around? He knows the shows of last week, this week, and all the attractions of the weeks to come. We do not forget his ideals either. We expect those ideals to make him an eminent success in his chosen vocation. No one in the class will ever forget you, John, and you will always have our very best wishes. ELOUISE BENNETT Bald Creek, North Carolina faithful, loyal, ami kind, a heller pal can no one find. Mnemosynean Literarj Society, Vice-President ' 29, President ' 30; Weaver Derby Club; Buncombe County Club; Glee Club; Romance Language Club. Elouise is a girl of noble character and high ideals. It would be hard to find a more sincere girl or a truer friend. Because she is able to make her life count, we are expect- ing her to rise above the masses. Best wishes to you, dear ole school mate.

When Lewis walked on the campus last year, it was a gain for us and our school. We all hke him. He is our walking encyclopedia. Sometimes even if the dumbest of us didn ' t know the meaning of those high words, we knew they were all right ; because every- thing Lewis does is all right. He is full of enthusiasm and ambition, and von may look for him at the top, because he will be satisfied with nothing else. SARA SMITH Burnsville, North Carolina Not too serious, not too gay, But a true-blue girl in every way.

Sara is quiet and modest, but full of fun, whether at work or play. She has an attrac- tive personality and makes friends everywhere she goes. Sara is a girl of noble character and high ideals. Her loyalty, honesty, and truthfulness will bring her success in the fu- ture. When one wants help, Sara is always only too willing to be of service. Sara, ole dear, we shall miss your sweet and cheerful smile, but we know it will bring joy and hap- piness to others as it has to us. Page 43 JAMES HOWELL Ansoxvjlle.

He is a baseball player of some eminence ; and we are all glad that he was e lected to captain our baseball team, because we are confident of his ability as a leader. With his intellectual ability and ambition we are sure he is bound to make good in life. And, Opal, always remember that your classmates of Weaver wish you a world of success in your chosen career.

You can ' t find one like her, because there is no such person. She is one of the sweetest and most noble girls we have every known. Surely she cannot be surpass;d, and just as surely shall she keep place in our hearts forever. Page 45 T. C. JOHNSON Morven, North Carolina Simplicity and truth dwelleth in his heart.

One among the many things we like about him is his modesty; we never hear him boasting about the great things he has accomplished or is to accomplish. He is always patient and sympathetic ; always in a good humor ; and always willing to do something that will help others. Whether it be in work or in play, he is there wholehearted- ly ; and therefore, we expect to hear great things from him. A. J. CARR Wallace, North Carolina Amiability sliincs by its own light.

He has proved himself a man able to lead, and willing to be led, a friend. He is trustworthy, dependable, faithful, and sincere: he has ability and is capable of doing almost anything except mail a letter or a card without a stamp.

He is not very talkative, but when he does talk, he says something worth while. Carl has not discussed his plans with us, but we know that whatever he undertakes he will be a success.

We are glad to have him in our class. Who said math and chemistry were hard ? Oh ! thev are only hard for some of us, but with Mr. Pak it is different. He has made a good record in all his school work, but in these two subjects he is especially good. Does Mr. Pak mind taking a joke? Oh, no! We never see him angry; he is always in a good humor. We have enjoyed hear- ing him sing his native songs. We shall never forget you, Pak ; and when vou return to your home, you will carry with you the best wishes of everyone at Weaver.

With only three letter men back : Captain Barden, Starnes, and Fortson, and with a tough schedule ahead, Coaches Talman and Baker concentrated their best efforts on the new material which arrived at the opening of school. Prominent among the squad of last year who came back were Newsome, Pruett, McCracken, and Stabler. Among the new men who presented themselves as candidates were Clark, Priddy, Lyda, Flintom, Willis, Estes, Hal and Doughty Osborne, Morgan, Clayton, and Cunningham. From the above men an almost new Tornado squad was formed. On October 6, Fruitland Institute journeyed over to visit the Talmanites and blew in a 46 to defeat. This was a gala event for the team and one of the easiest of all the victories. In this game some real football material was evident. Biltmore Junior College met the Talmanites on Dunham Field on October 12. From the first, it could be seen that the Tornado was up against some opposition. Starnes and Fortson as tackles distinguished themselves in this game. Captain Barden at center was up to his regular form. After a steady gain of a few yards at the close of the second quarter, Lyda went over the line for the first score of the game. In the fourth quarter Lanning, of Biltmore, crashed over for a. touchdown. The game ended in a tie. On October 18, Weaver met Wingate at the Memorial Stadium in Asheville. The Gold Tornado ripped the Wingate line wide open from the start. The play of the Weaver line- featured the game, Captain Barden, Morgan, Starnes, and Fortson snowing up well. The game ended in an 18 to victory for Weaver. Campbell College met the Tornadoes on October 27, at the Memorial Stadium in Asheville. During this game, which was a hard one, some of the best players of Junior College football opposed each other. The game was a battle royal from the sound of the first whistle to the last. Campbell tied a 6 to 6 score with the Tornadoes. On November 2, the M. P. C. I. Cadets went down to a 13 to defeat! at the hands of the Tornadoes. The Cadets showed plenty of fighting spirit, but were soon lost in the maze of line plays that the Tornado whirled around them. On November 8, Weaver trounced her sister rival, Rutherford College, to a 12 to score. The Tornadoes, showing their usual strength, displayed some unusual team work in this game. This game marked the fifth consecutive victory that Weaver has scored over her sister college. On November 11. Weaver met the American Legion All Stars at the Asheville Memorial Stadium for their annual Armistice Dav game. Being opposed by a heavier and more ex-. perienced team, the Tornadoes went down in a 38 to 7 defeat. The Tornadoes did some gooa team work in this struggle and the line showed up especially well. Billie Estes had the honor of making Weaver ' s lone touchdown. On November 18, Weaver traveled over to Lees-McRae and breezed up a 13 to score. On November 23, Weaver met the East Tennessee Teachers at Johnson City for the final combat of the season. Both teams were at a disadvantage from the start. The field was a mass of mud and slush, caused from melting snow. From the beginning of the game it was • ' mpossible to complete any passes owing to a wet and muddy ball. Both teams depended al- most entirely on line plays! The result of the game was a 7 to score in favor of the Teachers. This game ended the careers of Captain Barden, Starnes, Newsome, and Flintom. The team under the direction of Coach Talman were loud in their praise for his loyalty and devotion. Each man gave him a square deal, and he, in return, did the same for the boys he worked so faithfully with. — W. C. STUBBS. Page 77 TT Page 79 ?Vf -? [?

Maybe before that, I don ' t know, Anyway ' twas years ago. I started farmin ' on the plains And sent and bought a lot of things, I bought a mower, rake and plow, A bell and chain to tie the cow. I bought a wagon painted red, Though all the neighbors round me said That you bet they ' d never be A-buyin ' things they couldn ' t see. But every time I sold a hog, I bought things from the catalogue, And told my neighbors where to go, Cause Ward ' s saved me a lot of dough. I ' d always do my buyin where I got treated on the square, And if the things they sent to me, Ain ' t just what they ought to be I don ' t ever have to fight, To get Ward ' s to make it right. Though we ' re old, me and the wife, We ' ve bought from Ward ' s for all our life. And times have changed a lot I ' low Since the day I bought the plow, For we don ' t order any more. But do our buyin ' at Ward ' s Chain Store. Montgomery Ward Co. ASHEVILLE, N. C.
