.1 JOHN McMANUS Taxahaw, S. C. An able man shows his spirits by gentle words and resolute actions. McManus, who comes to us as a sandlapper, is a true and generous friend to every one. He has been with us two years, and has proved himself to be a hard and willing worker. He knows how to make friends and how to keep them. He possesses those rare qualities which make him a desirable companion, and whoever is fortunate enough to be his associate will find him always cheerful and full of fun. John leaves us with a host of friends who wish him success. NELL MAY HEFNER Wingate, N. C. , How sweet the sound of a woman's tongue, a string which has no dis- cord. Nell is the only Senior who has taken voice, and consequently she is of value to the class. Nell is a very popular, and brave girl, especially when she is called before the Faculty to give an account of her good times. We must say for Nell, because of her stylish appearance, winning ways, and melodious voice she has won for herself an important place in the hearts of all her friends. 14

ri- C. W. SPEIGHT Bridgeport, N. C. lt is the wise head that makes a still tongue. President of Society 19169 Art Edi- torg Editor-in-Chief of the X-Ray. 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. Ellen is a jolly girl, who never fails to perform any duty assigned her, and is always punctual at classes and chapel. She believes in a thor- ough preparation for life. Peg, as she is sometimes called, is bright and sympathetic, and possesses every quality that goes to make a pure and noble character. She has received many honors during her high school days, but perhaps the most important is secretary of the Browning Society. Peg is a girl admired and trusted by both Faculty and classmates.

ff: . Sl' CARL RAYFIELD Mt. Croghan, S. C. Perhaps, also, he felt his profes- sional acuteness and is interested in bringing it to a successful close.', Officer of Philosophian Societyg Assistant Business Manager of The X-Rayg Secretary of Senior Class. Dock is always giggling about something. Although he displays an angry countenance sometimes over College Algebra, when he fails to work his example at the blackboard, yet he reads Cicero in the best of humor. When first he entered the Wingate School he was considered very bashful, but he has overcome that now and is very popular with the ladies. He is a splendid fellow and has many friends here. May his sterling qualities develop for his life's work. ANNIE CLARA JONES Wingate, N. C. The glass of fashion and the mould of form. Poetess, Program Committee. Do you want to see the latest Paris- ian styles? If so, We point you to the one member of our class who deals in the newest and most beauti- ful fashions-Miss Annie Jones. Annie, better known as t'Billy, has never been known to get to school on time, because her motto is, Early to bed and late to rise, makes me 'pretty, healthy, and wise, ' until a school choir was organized and she joined it, in order that she might display her beauty and fashion on the stage. We hope that Billy will continue to lead the styles so that her friends may imitate her, and feel assured they are dressed stylish enough to appear in her class. 4.-.59 15
