PERCY G. WALL Walnut Cove, N. C. An Honest Man, Close Buttoned to the Chin, Broadcloth Without, and a Warm Heart Within. Commencement Marshal, 1915. Baseball Manager 1916. This modest youth from Stokes County is well known here. As a student he does his duty faithfully. Few rival him in diligence. During his three years stay with us he has not sought honors, preferring rather to perform his tasks while others chased them. In the various school activities he has taken a prominent part, especially in baseball, of which he is manager. To those who know him Percy is a sunshine wearer, al- ways happy, never complaining. His manly qualities and pleasing person- ality have won for him many close friends, who hope that he may have a future crowned with success. EVA LORENA MAE BAUCOM Unionville, N. C. Censor of Browning Society, 1915. Commencement Marshal. We live in deeds not yearsg In thoughts not breathsg In feelings not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, Feels the noblest, acts the best. Lorena is one of our number who realizes that things are not accom-- plished by putting oii' until tomorrow, but by doing today. Her motto is, Talk little and think much, which she follows very closely. She has a big sympathetic heart and is ever faithful and punctual to duty. 11

Athletic Associationg Commencement Declaimer 1914-15. Commencement Orator, 1916. Brooks is a very quiet fellow, but if you want to hear him talk just carry him to the society hall and he can tell you more history of great men in ten minutes than the average per- son would learn in a whole session. He is always a little late getting on class but he is a splendid student and a good friend. Being socially inclined, he is always anxious to invite the honorary members to society. He may get a late start, but we expect to hear from him in some field of activity. ' RUTH BLACK Wingate, N. C. Patience is the key of content. President of Browning Society, Fall Term, 1915. Editor-in-Chief of An- nual, 1916. To our Editor-in-Chief we hail, timid at times, yet Rastus can as- sert her rights and enjoys fully the warm friendship of her classmates. Through her womanliness, worth, and wisdom she has won for herself a warm spot in each of our hearts, and we give her the name of being our Prize Senior Girl. Ruth is a diligent student and one in whom her teachers delight. She is a true type of woman- hood and one to whom we can apply these words- True hearted, whole- hearted, faithful and loyal. 10

The sincer- ity, frankness and friendliness of his nature have won for him many friends who will miss him when he is gone. When mischief is in the game, Hoyt always plays a winning hand. After packing his diploma in the lower southwest corner of his trunk, he will depart for his home in Taxahaw, and we wish him well. His manly quali- ties and pleasing personality have won for him many close friends, who hope that he may have a future crowned with success. BESSIE BERNICE McINTYRE Wingate, N. C. AlTection is the Broadest Basis of a Good Life. Historian of Class 1916. Bess is the Baby of our class, but her queenly bearing and lofty manner would not lead one to that conclusion. Bess is a splendid leader, full of strong ideas and opinions, to which she holds with tenacity. She has taken an active part in society, and is interested in everything that concerns the welfare of the school, she knows no such word as failure. Much talk- ing is her specialty, and this wins for her admiration and friends. lT 12
