'g In-f' . L I U ,f ' .p HOYT BYRD Taxahaw, S. C. The World Means Something to the Capable. Orator 1916. To know Byrd is to know a friend indeed. He is a good student and a hard worker in society. 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

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

This quiet gentleman was given to us by Mars Hill College last August, and he has distinguished himself by the even moderation of tones, by his reticence, and by his steady, quiet work. He is popular, and always does his part nobly. He adores nothing feminine, and believes that every one should look after his own affairs. He is thorough in his studies and swift on the athletic field. WILMA ELLEN GADDY Wingate, N. C. That you may be loved, be amiable. Secretary Browning Society, 15-16. Class Statistician of 1916.
