M. SHIELDS i • PAGE FOUR OREWORD The Senior Class has undertaken the publication of this annual with many mis- givings. As there are only eleven mem- bers of the class, it has been a task to make the book a success, financially. We have endeavored to picture for you our school life as it is, and hope that each one may find something of interest here. We wish to express our appreciation to the assistance given us by Miss Liles and Mr. Shields, and by the business men of Tarboro. * PAGE FIVE TO Miss Vera Millsaps AS AN EXPRESSION OF OUR ESTEEM AND GRATITUDE WE DEDICATE THIS VOLUME iHmnriam ifllnsaw Clniitum Snrn:3tm* 4, IfrfeJHarrff 1, 1920 19 2 2 TAR-BO-R AH 19 2 1 C NTENTS Page EDITORIAL BOARD 10 FACULTY 11 STUDENT COUNCIL 12 SENIOR CLASS ORGANIZATION 13 SENIOR HISTORY !J 22 SENIOR PROPHECY 25 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT J 27 SENIOR STATISTICS 30 SENIOR CENSUS __ 33 SENIOR CARTOONS 34 JUNIOR CLASS # 'gi 36 SOPHOMORE CLASS 38 FRESHMAN CLASS ™ | 40 CAN YOU IMAGINE 43 EDITORIALS 44 LITERARY SOCIETIES % 47 TRIANGULAR DEBATERS . 55 ATHLETICS 57 JOKES 69.

In addition to these, the commercial class has one representative. The Council meets informally with the principal from time to time to discuss prospective improvements in the high school. Such matters as those of conduct, scholarship, school spirit, and care of rooms and grounds are considered. The mem- bers of the Council are qualified to speak from the standpoint of the pupils them- selves, therefore they often give suggestions that have not been thought of by the teachers. Several suggestions have been adopted and they have proved of real value. Probably the greatest single benefit derived from the Council is the sense of responsibility it tends to develop. The pupils composing this body not only come to feel more keenly their own personal accountability in a business about which they are consulted, but they gradually learn that they are in a measure, "their brothers' keepers." In proof of this statement is the fact that the Council is giving a silver loving cup to the school room showing the greatest improvement along various lines.

Jack is our organizer, president, and man- ager. He has been president of every organ- ization of which he has been a member. In our plans for the Junior-Senior banquet Jack was leader. As business manager of the an- nual, he has done unusually good work and we can recommend him to any business man. We regret to say that as a result of this he has a slightly swelled head. ELMA HILDA BROWN Age 17 Height 5'2" Weight 118 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; President 3, 4; Basket Ball Team 2, 3, 4; Manager 3; Literary Society 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; President 4; Chairman Program Committee 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Class President 2; Class Sec- retary 3 ; Class Vice-President 4 ; Editor Tar- bo-rah 4; Member Student Council 4. Elma is the best all round girl in the class, and is liked by both boys and girls. Her disposition being changeable, we can never tell about Elma. But if it were not for her fun and her ability to manage any occasion, woe be unto her class! Elma's sole ambition is to grow three inches in height, and she has the entire sympathy of the class and the hope that she may accomplish this seemingly im- possible feat. PAGE SIXTEEN 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 LOTTIE RAYMOND COSBY Age 16 Height 5'4" Weight 125 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary- Treasurer Athletic Association 4 ; Basket Ball Team 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Class Sec- retary 4; Class Giftatorian 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Assistant Business Manager Tar-bo-rah 4. Raymond was voted to be the most at- tractive and most popular girl in the Senior Class. She has a ceerful disposition and doubtless this accounts for her winning a diploma with so little worry. She is the most musical in the class and we expect to hear great things from her in the musical world. CHARLES ALEXANDER DENSON "Alex" Age 16 Height 5'8" Weight 160 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer Association 3, 4; Literary Society 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3 ; Football Team 4 ; Wearer of "T" 4; Basket Ball Team 4; Class Treas- urer 3, 4; Declamation Contest 3; Triangular Debater 4. Alex is the one member of the class that holds the title of "Smart Alex." His power of understanding geometry is the envy of all that try to master that subject. Although he excels in no one thing his ability to do what he wishes and do it well, gives the class reason to believe and think that he will suc- ceed in whatever he undertakes. PAGE SEVENTEEN 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 WILSON HOWELL CRANE "Crane" Age 17 Height 5'10%" Weight 154 Athletic Association 2, 3, 4; Literary Society 2, 3, 4; Secretary Society 4; Football 4; "T" man 4; Basket Ball Team 4; Track Team 3; Tennis Team 3. "Crane" is the most accomplished mem- ber of our class. He passes geometry, stars in football, gets to school just on time and vamps the visiting girls, all with equal ease. But no matter how much he may be pampered and petted, he will never be conceited for we call him "Ichabod." MARGARET MAUD BATTLE "Midget" Age 17 Height 5'6" Weight 122 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-Presi- dent 4; Basket Ball Team 2, 3, 4; Captain 3; Literary Society 2, 3, 4; Secretary 4; Critic 4;Class Secretary 2; Glee Club 2, 3; Class Song 3; Prophetess 4; Art Editor Tar- bo-rah 4; Assistant Cheer Leader 4. Let us commend to you Margaret's ability to take life easy. She never worries or frets about her lessons; studying is only a joke to her. Margaret's hobby is horse-back riding. She takes a great deal of interest in athletics. Margaret has not made known her ambition as yet, but we are of the opinion that she will be keeping house for a certain young man before very many years. PAGE EIGHTEEN 19 2 2 T AR-BO-R AH 19 2 1 WILLIAM ERNEST PRICE "Price** Age 16 Height 511" Weight 129 Athletic Association 2, 3, 4; Literary So- ciety 2, 4; Censor 4; Critic 4. Ernest is the quietest member of the class, but many a mean plot has been hatched be- hind that calm exterior of his. Although his actions are slow he thinks fast and is one of the best students in the class. It is the be- lief of all that Ernest will make a well-to-do farmer, and we expect great things of him. EVELYN SUMNER WORSLEY Age 18 Height 5'3" Weight 135 Athletic Association 4 ; Literary Society 2, 4; Censor 4; Glee Club 2. Evelyn is one of the quietest girls in the class. We could say much of her if we could only read her thoughts. She was voted to be the prettiest girl of the class. Her brown eyes have won her many friends among the opposite sex, and no doubt she will soon lead one to the altar.
