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. *

CThe High School Council
HENRY McNAIR, President ELSIE FOUNTAIN BRUCE WILLIAMS, Secretary CLIFTON RUFFIN ELMA BROWN FRANK PULLEY NASH JOHNSTON ANNE JOHNSON ANNIE GREY JOHNSTON
The High School Council is composed of eleven members chosen as follows: The pupils of each room in the high school elect one boy and one girl to serve on the Council. 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.

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.

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.

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.

"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."

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.

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 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.

is also a good student and his efforts to help the less fortunate members of the class is noticed by every one. His greatest ambition is to make the annual a success and his zealous efforts in securing advertisements will help him in his chosen profession. (Salesman)

Henry is the most versatile boy in our class. His facilities lie in many directions. His accomplishments are known by all the class and especially his ability to make him- self handy. His efforts to get a "28 dollar" crowd for a basket ball game so as to insure a game with Kinston will long be remembered by the girls' team as well as the class.
o Class Poem
Four years! how fast the time has flown, Too soon it seems to say Good-bye; And though our High School course is done We must leave you, but not for fun.
Can it possibly be that four whole years Have silently passed away?
Or is it a dream, a deceiving dream That passes within a day?
Ah, yes, tis' hard to say adieu, Oh! THIS, our High School dear Our dearest thoughts will be left with you; And we shall leave you with a tear.
A tear perhaps; but life's ahead, < Let Juniors come and fill our place; Forth to the College we must go Farewell! we leave thee now in peace.

its Miik 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 Class History FIRST EDITION Published by the Campbell Publishing Co. DEDICATION To Miss Janis Chandler and the faculty of the Tarboro High School this history is both respectively and respectfully dedicated. PREFACE
N WRITING the history of the class of 1922, the author has striven to set forth the achievements and failures, the glories and conquests of the class. The object of the writing has been deemed expedient that the world know something of the brilliant record of the class ; it has also been deemed wise that Tar- boro High School know something of the life and work of their prede- cessors. If this volume in any way portrays the life and character of the class, the writer will feel amply repaid for his labor.
Chapter 1.
In the fall of 1910, a new colony began its journey on the search for knowledge. The colonists were half a hundred six-years-old from all over the town, the survivors of which colony face you to-night. What an eventful day was the first one at school. And such preparations as had been made for it. Our faces had been scrubbed until one could see himself in them; our hair was almost glued back; and the girls of the colony were bedecked in starchy dresses that would stand alone. Our mothers led us by the hand and each delivered her precious bundle to the teacher with a few words of advice about her particular child. Tendencies of the colonists early began to manifest themselves. The schoolroom was different from the accustomed haunts of all outdoors; and many of us had never been with so many children before. Just as every one was drooping at the mouth and choking, the loud lusty yell !" of Maurice Light burst forth. "I want my maw ! I want my maw was his cry. He was reenforced by Jack Denson, who hollered, "I want something to eat! I want something to eat!" For one solid week Evelyn Worsley refused to sit down, to march, or to speak. She sucked her thumb and said nothing,—the evidences of which performance her thumb bears to-day. The teacher had to use weapons to get this raw material to work in a team. Albeit the life was different, the colonists soon began to adjust themselves to their surroundings and to make pro- gress on the search for knowledge. At first we read so loud that we
PAGE TWENTY-TWO 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1
could be heard all over the plantation and wrote in sprawling letters everywhere. Talents that shone early were manifested in the singing and yelling of Raymond Cosby and Alex Denson. After the first, the years passed quickly. Different teachers have added their mite towards helping the colonists along the way. But alas ! the climb was so steep for many that after the first round of the ladder was made, some became dizzy and fell off. Work was inter- spersed with pleasure, each boy having his own little sweetheart, al- though she gave him nothing but whooping cough. The most important stage, after the first round, came when one sec- tion of the climb had been made and the colonists were approaching the dangerous pass of seventh grade. Here the whirlpool of knowledge flows so swiftly that many of the colonists feared to breast the waves. Eighteen stood the heavy pouring of County Supt. George Howard, the process requiring a whole day-from 8:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening, with no thought of eating, drinking, or anything else save coming out successfull from that terrible struggle. And those who face you to-night did emerge triumphantly. The journey from the seventh-grade round, presented only four steps, each to be reached by hard work, and secure standing to be maintained by steady application. This new realm, called High School, was very different from the old lands left behind. New terrors presented them- selves and the colonists were constantly alarmed by inexplainable ob- jects, x, y z' s. In addition, a new language had to be mastered and the strugglers found themselves sputtering and spattering as if they were crazy. The band of eighteen were much impressed with their new dignities, those that befall High School students. They went around talking in rhetorical style and disdained to notice pioneers on the path. The colonists enjoyed the second stage of the journey in High School land. Flowers and trees called to them and the botannical trips stand out prominently. The government of the province was lax, the colonists often being out of place on every occasion except at meal time. Our motto that year was, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The play was duly emphasized, and if our minds grew not, Wilson Crane ran up several inches, while Evelyn Worsley and Elma Brown spread out. The following regarding the social life of the colonists is clipped from the Colonial Records of 1920: "Ye boys of ye colony entertained ye girls at an April fete. Ye maidens looked pretty, acted pretty, and had a good time. Ye boys were on their p's and q's and were as handsome and chilvarous as ye knights of old." When the colonists reached the tenth round of the ladder on the quest for knowledge they received a heavy jolt. The former governor
PAGE TWENTY-THREE 19 2 2 TAR-BO-R AH 19 2 1
of the entire province having given up the work, a new governor was installed. This new governor and his assistant, like Capt. John Smith of old, forced the colonists to give up the search for pleasure and to work, work, work. The colonists had to come under the yoke of dis- cipline and to dig for knowledge as they had never dug before. Another terror which added to the unhappiness of the colonists was a different language. They were tortured with a never-ending pano- rama of French verbs, French nouns, and French idioms. The horrors of the French Revolution were reacted before their very eyes. Plea- sures were few and work abundant that year. But one social festivity mentioned in the Colonial Records of Feb. 11, 1921, calls up happy memories. "One of ye biggest social events ever given in ye province was ye Junior Senior reception last evening. Ye rulers came in ye royal equi- page, ye guests in ye holiday attire, and company manners, and ye en- tertainers in ye best of spirits. All made merry together." The last round of the ladder was finally reached in the fall of 1921. The acquisition of the long sought-for flower of knowledge seemed
near but illusive. To keep their eyes ever on it, the class adopted the motto which spurred Columbus on through his sea of darkness, "Sail on." A terrible giant, Mathematics, stood in their way. It so affected the number that they fed on incommensurable quantities and slept on dihedral angles. In the meantime, the colonists had developed some fine athletes, who matched their strength with that of other colonists. The Colonial Record thus speaks of some of the colonists: "Ye knights of ye colony have jousted with ye knights of all neighbor- ing colonies and of distant provinces in tournaments and Olympic games. Ye colonists cannot be beaten in running fast, jumping high, and holding tight." The colonists came to the end of the journey with a mingled feeling of joy and sadness. They were joyous that the object of the climb,—the flower of was within their grasp they kowledge ; were sad to think that the colony would soon disband, each to search for a flower of his own choosing elsewhere. For eleven years, the colonists had enjoyed asso- ciation with each other and with beloved teachers. For eleven years, one building had sheltered, and nurtured them all. They saw all this fading away. Yet, with a grateful glance backward, and a hopeful glance forward, each colonist plucked the flower of knowledge and the colony disbanded.
"All's well that ends well."

From sunny fields all decked with spring, On petals white I bring to you, The future of each classmate Of the class of 1922.
An orator with silver tongue, Can it be Jack? Why, yes. He is talking fast, with knowledge vast, Which he learned at T. H. S.
Raymond in Grand Opera shines, For she can act as well as sing; From far and near, men rush to hear And loud her praises ring.
Henry has an eye for lines. He'll build some bridges high and queer; He'll wear puttees up to his knees And be a civil engineer.
Sweet Evelyn will be keeping house For her dear mother? No, She'll fry and bake, and make a cake For some one she likes MO.
If elocution doesn't claim our Lucy And send her on to something more sublime, She'll be a business girl, with hair in curl And marry her boss sometime.

Prophecy [Continued]
A preacher Wilson Crane would not be He wished something else to do. But he came at last, to follow fast, In his father's footsteps true.
Elma is sent to Vassar college If the class does not reject her; And there she stays till the end of her days A physical culture director.
If Maurice Light will only learn To talk a little slow; Then up and down, from town to town, A salesman, he will go.
Ernest will be a farmer gay, And many cows he'll raise; He'll plow and hoe, and reap and sow, And be happy all his days.
Alex will be a lawyer See how calm and cool his face! Whomever they try, he won't tell a lie And he'll never lose a case.
As your futures were revealed to me, I pass them on to you; And wish all joys to girls and boys Of the class of 1922.

CThe Last IPill and Testament
E, THE graduating class of 1922, in eleven individual and indistinct parts, after four strenuous years spent in the Tar- boro High School have accumulated numbers of things which will be hindrances to us in the outside world.
Therefore, we the class of 1922, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour; to wit:
Item I
To the Superintendent and faculty:
We give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing know - ledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students everywhere, and would throw much new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought, throughout the whole world of science and learning, even outside the halls and walls of Tarboro High School. If the faculty see fit they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the education of the classes to come after us. This of course is left entirely to their personal discretion.
To Mr. Moseley, our superintendent, we bequeath a law book which we hope may serve to help him with his cases both in court and with cupid.
To Mr. Shields, our principal, we give a large dinner bell so that when rung at the front door it may be heard all over the School grounds.
To our room teacher, Miss Chandler, we will a class that will not cause her so much worry in the future.
To our English teacher, Miss Doub, an enlarged edition of Carlyle's Essay on Burns, and a Revised Edition of Macbeth.
PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN 19 2 2 T AR-BO-R AH 19 2 1
To our "Math" teacher, Miss Newton, an electric searchlight which will enable her to find one perfect geometry student.
To our History teacher, Miss Liles, our esteem and gratitude for the help so cheerfully given us on the annual and our annual as a token of our appreciation.
To our Science teacher, Mr. Barnes, a long stem pipe and a box of Prince Albert Smoking tobacco so that in the future years he may sit by the fireside with his pipe and dream of the class of 1922.
To the commercial teacher, Miss Campbell because of her great de- sire to be absolutely "letter perfect," we bequeath all the worn out typewriter erasers as well as a box of new ones.
To the Home Economics teacher, Miss Spurgeon, we will a well equipped Domestic Science room not in the basement.
To the music teacher, Miss May Wooten, we will a rolling pin to be used in any way that is necessary.
Item II
To the high school, we bequeath an orchestra to be used three days a week for chapel exercises.
To the Juniors, we will our places in the chapel ; also our natural aptitude for acquiring knowledge ; our faults ; our unsociabilities, our senior dignity; and our excellent class record.
To the Sophomores, we will our ability of having perfect reports and of keeping the number of misconducts to a minimum.
To the Freshman, we bequeath our studiousness at the dinner hour and all the chewing gum left adhering to the desks.
Item III
To Willie Harrell, we bequeath Jack Denson's ability for so success- fully being a dear friend to beaucoup girls.
To Clifton Ruffin, we will Wilson Crane's curly hair. To Bracy Hamilton and Earl West, we bequeath Henry McNair's and Alex Denson's ability as a football player. We couldn't induce Wilson Crane to surrender his. To Nash Johnson we bequeath Evelyn Worsley's alarm clock so that in his Senior Year, he will get to school early rather than late.
PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1
To anyone who needs it, we will Margaret Battle's bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush.
To Seleta Felton, we bequeath Elma Brown's ability as a school teacher so that in emergencies, she may be ready to take a teacher's place.
To Myrtle Melton, we bequeatth Lucy Knight's ability as typist.
To Louise Lane, we will Raymond's ability to vamp.
To Francis Jenkins, we bequeath Maurice Light's willingness to help his fellow students.
We, the aforesaid, hereby declare this to be our last will and testa- ment, we hereby appoint our principal Mr. J. M. Shields as sole executor.
In testimony whereof, we, the testators aforesaid, hereunto sub- scribe our name and affix our seal, this 26th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty two, at the Tarboro High School, Tarboro, North Carolina.
(Signed) The Senior Class.

In other words, the mission of the public school is to help boys and girls to find themselves and to become fit members of society. Hamlin Garland draws a tragic picture of the middle West where ancestral tablets, squealing phonographs, swarming flies, and tumble-down sheds are in keeping with the sordid, unhappy lives which conditions portray. And the cause is attributable to one great curse—ignorance. Were the picture of the same community drawn to-day, it would be very dif- ferent. For the public school, silently but surely, works marvelous changes in the lives of those whom it touches, and in the community- at-large. The Tarboro school has not failed in its mission. Prior to the establishment of the public schools in 1888 excellent private schools existed but these did not reach all the people. It was left for the public school to penetrate the darkness of the humble home and to broaden the horizon of its inmates. For instance snatches of a good book read by a teacher once made a wonderful impression on a boy of the class, who retold the story at night to an illiterate father and mother, brother, and sister. The story created a craving for more ; the book was bor- rowed and read by the pupil to the eager family on long winter evenings. Then followed another, and another book until a family of five caught the light from the school and profited thereby. And thus the work of the school cannot be calculated. For twenty years or more the High School has been a distinctive feature of the Tarboro Public Schools. Successful lawyers, doctors, Merchants, farmers, and mechanics look gratefully back to the molding machine that smoothed off their rough edges and helped them to find themselves. From the time the little feet pattered into the first grade until the proud graduate received his diploma, a finger print here and a finger print there, on his plastic make-up has made the product what it is. And in later days of retrospection, a pupil knows that a teacher has done more than teach; he has inspired, for the finger prints are still there. PAGE FORTY-FOUR 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 Such has been the past of the Tarboro Schools. The future is what the patrons and the tax-payers want it to be. Commesurate with the demands of society should be the equipment and advantages offered by the school for developing, not only the fundamentals of learning, but the dormant possibilities of each child. When the Tarboro school shall have reached every child of Township Number 1 and helped that child to make of himself the most possible, thereby finding his place in society, the school will then have performed its mission. And the task belongs not to the school alone. PAGE FORTY-FIVE 19 2 2 TAR-BO-R AH 19 2 1 My Eye! HE OLD captain stood by my side at the upper deck rail of his coast-wise steamer. "Oh ha!" quoth he, "that must be old Joel!" I wondered if old Joel were a favorite porpoise that had gleamed through the surface for a second, or a love gull that circled beyond us, or any special one of the fluff of clouds to the north east; for to save my soul, after turning my eyes intently upon the open spaces toward which the captain's gaze was directed, I could see nothing else. Pulling out his watch the captain rubbed his chin and chuckled with a joy that seemed to savor of the malicious; "Over six hours be- hind time, too, the old scamp!" Now, I like to know what is going on about me, and when some- one near me seems to be getting more out of life than I am, I feel de- cidedly slighted. Therefore I asked with no little curiosity, "What in the world, captain?" For answer the old salt chuckled again and merely pointed out to the distant horizon. Whereupon I bent my head forward and looked hard, then leaned back and looked harder, then twisted to one side and gazed searchingly, then balanced my head on my left ear and stared piercingly; but the sky serene and the sparkling ocean remained as before and no old Joe appeared to reward my strenuous exertion. The captain looked at me with amused tolerance and said, "my dear madam, don't you see him?" "Why no, certainly not! where is he?" "There," said the captain simply, and the expression of his eye told me that he saw many things that were invisible to my landsman's eye. Finally, by placing my eye against the captain's sleeve and squinting straight down it and along his pointing finger, I saw—yes a steadily moving pin head of a boat with faint haze of smoke above it. No, I do not need glasses. My eyes are as good as the captain's. But the difference? My dear boys and girls, I have lured you this far along in my story to point a moral ! The captain's eye was better trained than mine. Moral : If constant and persistent use of any of my faculties will develop them to a high degree of service to me, let me be ashamed ever to find myself by the side of a man to whom his faculties are better servants than mine are to me.

The story runs that a wood chuck had been making raids on the Webster's barn. A trap had been set and the culprit caught. Zebe, the older brother, wanted to kill the animal outright, Daniel pled for mercy. Upon being appealed to, the wise old father decided to sit as judge while each boy pled his case. Zebe opened the case and poured such a tirade of abuse upon the help- less animal that his chances for living seemed indeed small. But when Daniel's turn came, the tide turned at once. Finally rising on tiptoe and pointing the finger of scorn at his brother of the opposition, he said, "how dare you take that which you cannot give, life." The old father dried his eyes and standing up, shouted, "Zebe, Zebe, let that wood chuck go." Others besides Daniel Webster have found themselves in those exer- cises which develop processes of thought and of expression. Many college bred men and women have no hesitancy in admitting that the Literary Society of his or her respective college did as much toward his intellectual development as any course of the curriculum. The reason is obvious. The society is democratic in government, the responsibility for its success or failure in the hands of the cosmopolitan students. It is the arena in which the pupil stands alone and tries to make others think as he thinks, or see what he sees. Nor is the Tarboro High School lacking in affording training in society work. In order to reach every pupil, the school has four literary societies, the O. Henry for the 9th, 10th and 11th girls, the Tau for the 8th girls; the the O. K. for the 9th 10th & 11th boys, and the Wilkinson for the 8th boys. While the work is primarily in the hands of the pupils, each society is supervised by a teacher whose duty it is to ad- vise and suggest. Twenty pupils in all entered the preliminaries for the triangular de- bate and the four who won the places had no easy race. The O. Henry society is planning to give one of Shakespeares plays this spring. Other programs have included musicals, debates, dramatizations, mock trials, biographical programs, and last but not least in influence, social meet- ings in which good, wholesome fun was provided. Do the boys and girls of the Tarboro High School like their literary Societies? The answer comes with an outburst of enthusiasm "Yes, Yes. So say we all of us."

Our triangle is com- posed of Tarboro, Greenville, and Kinston. Last year Kinston dropped out, leaving the field to her two opponents. Tarboro won both debates from Greenville and sent her teams to Chapel Hill, where they aroused favorable comment on their work. Margaret Bridgers and Nash Johnson represented the affirmative side of the query; Re- solved : That the policy of collective bargaining through trade unions should prevail in American industry; while Sylvia Levy and John Price upheld the negative. Our affirmatives lost to Goldsboro in the pre- liminaries, but our negative won its way to the semi-finals, and was ranked among the first four teams in the State by the judges. The success of our teams last year aroused so much interest that twenty-two pupils entered the preliminaries this year, the query being Resolved : That the United States should enter the League of Nations. Alex Denson and Sallie Satterthwaite won places on the affirmative side, while Jack Hearne and Louise Peoples defeated all contestants for positions on the negative team. In the contests against Greenville and Kinston our affirmative won a two to one decision, while our negative lost at Kinston by the same count. Despite the fact that our teams did not win their way to Chapel Hill this year, there is much encouragement in the debating situation here. Our debaters this year were all inexperienced. Next year there will be four ex-triangular debaters in School. These are: Nash Johnston, Jack Hearne, Louise Peoples, and Sallie Satterthwaite. We feel that Tar- boro has bright prospects for future successes in the debating field.

Several trips were taken by the team during the season, only one accident marred the pleasures of the trips. Robert Edmond- son had his collar bone broken in the Kinston game. It is evident that a winning team will be put out next year. The school presented fif- teen of the players with a gold "T" for participating in fifty per cent of the games. THE KOMMODORES The Kommodores is an organization of the small boys who were inte- rested in football. Under the coaching of Henry McNair they soon learned the principles of the game. They played Greenville and Rocky Mount two games. Much interest was displayed and a future championship team is expected of these Juniors. THE BASEBALL TEAM With the coming of spring, the thoughts of all the boys were centered on baseball. Gloves and mitts were pulled from hiding places and balls begun to whiz across the grounds. A meeting of all the boys interested was called and work was begun on the diamond. It is the belief of every one that a winning team will be put on the field. A schedule is being arranged with neighboring towns.

Although the first game was lost to a more experienced team, the boys continued to play their best. Several trips were made, the most note- worthy being those to Smithfield and Raleigh. After the return from their last trip, the boys played the three closing games on the home court, winning all of them. Their basket ball season was shortened by losing the use of the warehouse. GIRLS' BASKET-BALL The Tarboro girls made an early start in basket-ball and showed a great improvement during the season. There were as many as twenty out for several practices and it was a difficult matter to select the team. The girls played only seven games during the season which was cut short by the loss of the warehouse. The girls got only two trips to other towns. The team was so much stronger during the latter part of the season than at first that it was a real disappointment not to play more games. Tarboro won three games. It was a source of keen regret that Tarboro could not enter the Eastern Championship Series, but this was rendered impossible by the fact that no court was available for prac- tice. Whatever the results of the past season, we are certain that the foundation has been laid for a winning team next year. THE TRACK TEAM Although the track team had been organized, the publication was sent to the press before the team had been picked. Last year three members were sent to the State meet at Chapel Hill. Although they were not successful in winning any of the honors, they aroused interest at home. We feel that the team wiJl make a better showing this year than during any previous season.

Eleven faces bright and clean, Eleven froggies grew up fast Big frogs they became at last." Many others started. All croaked and stopped but eleven. The class of 1922 has a wonder; a Jack of all trades who is good at them all. The eleven little coats of green have changed to Brown, because it wears well. The Crane walks around in high places but he is up to his neck in Math. The Light of the class is like the moon in that it shines at Knight; it is unlike the moon in that it wears the same broad, benignant grin e'en tho' the Battle rages and the Knight frowns. To those contemplating the winning of any member of the class, the following advice is given: The Battle is not to the swift; it is to the good-looking. The Price is unattainable. He is moved not by favors, threats, or coquetry. The Cosby which the class has been led is an ambitious one. Albeit, it may not remain so. Most of the frogs are apt but they are Denson Geometry. Henry MacNair will carry his point. Or argue his tongue out of joint. Evelyn Worsely lives in no flurry. She has never yet been in a hurry. The Battle may rage and the Brown grow rusty The Price may decline and the Worsely get crusty; Yet the Light will shine till the Battle is won And 1922 will "Sail On and On."

PAGE SEVENTY-TWO FAMILIAR SCENES FAMILIAR SCENES 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 "And A Little Child" HE CLOCK struck 12. Molly moved restlessly in her bed. She saw Junior sleeping quietly in his crib, and crept to the win- dow, listening in vain for Tom's familiar step. The street was silent. The other little homes seemed to be watched over by some guardian spirit but her home—her silent vigil, a frequent occurence of late, expressed only too well the nameless dread, the fear of the wife who thinks her husband has lost interest in his home. Turning at last to her bed she stole over to Junior's crib, and look- ing at his innocent face, so like Tom's, resolved to persevere. The next morning at breakfast everything went wrong. The toast was burned, Junior spilled his milk on the fresh cloth and Tom came in just in time for a swallow of coffee and a glance at the paper. Junior immediately sought sympathy. "Daddy, won't you come home early and play with me? Mumsey's too cross and busy to. I—I'm lonesome for you, daddy." The pleading face was almost too much for Tom who, watching Molly, failed to notice the same expression which almost threatened to break down her brave front. "Don't worry daddy, dear; he's in a hurry. We'll have a good time to-day," put in Molly, for she realized only too well that Tom was going to plead an engagement as he had done for many nights before. "Never mind, sonny, we'll all three have a big romp as soon as daddy gets time." This last came between gulps of coffee and attemps at the burned toast. "Goodbye, folks, I don't guess I'll see you at dinner. Don't sit up for me, Molly. You look rather worn, dear." Tom's last words floated down the hall and stayed with her the whole busy morning. Meanwhile Tom, wearing a worried, almost a grasping, look, hur- ried down to the office, very conscious of his insufficient breakfast and unhappy family. Soon after he arrived he went through his mail and found the letter he was looking for, which contained an appointment for the after- noon. Tom did not comment on the letter as Miss Harrison, his stenog- rapher, filed the mail. PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 The day wore on and Tom, waiting for the hour of the appoint- ment, tried in vain to dictate and finally dismissed the surprised Miss Harrison for the day. Alone in the office, he paced the floor, smoked cigarette after cigarette, and went over and over a few papers which he had taken from his private drawer. He failed to note that one small paper was missing. "It certainly is a safe proposition. Newman knows what he's up to, tho he has a deal or two behind him that wouldn't be anything to brag about." (Tom had a habit of thinking aloud.) "Why Bill ever left that stock to my safe-keeping I can't see! I know he'd see the luck in it and gladly let me use it. He's too good a business man to lose a chance like that. "When Newman comes I'll sign up and in a few weeks Molly'll have a rich husband, a maid, and plenty of time to remove that tired expression. Poor old Girl ! I've treated her pretty badly. Never mind." Here he began for the hundredth time to figure the returns. Shortly after two he returned to the office after a hasty lunch to make sure of being on time for Newman. While Tom was thus explaining to himself the whole deal and justifying his view of it, Molly, having had a tiresome day, rejoiced at the arrival of a friend's little boy whose visit worked wonders with the disconsolate Junior. The two children were playing to-gether contentedly when she left them and went upstairs to freshen up a bit and plan for Junior a surprise dinner to make up for Tom's absence. Suddenly she heard Tom come in and hurry upstairs. "How queer!" she thought. "What has brought him home?" Tom, hurrying through the hall, was thinking of the time when the little house would be a different place with its new furnishings. "Molly," he called, "please get me my gray coat. Quick, dear. It holds an important paper." Molly hastened to the closet and in the act of handing Tom the coat saw him suddenly motion to her to be quiet. They heard two angry little voices disputing over a marble. PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT 19 2 2 TAR-BO-RAH 19 2 1 "I didn't take it, either, you Johnny Barnes!" "Did!" "Didn't!" "Did, did, did-!" "I didn't. I'm my daddy's boy and he doesn't take things that don't !" belong to him Junior's voice rose almost to a scream, and Molly, rushing to make peace, failed to see the sudden change in Tom's expression. With a new vim, Tom picked up the coat and hurried down without the paper. Promptly at six Molly and Junior, who had forgotten his quarrel in his delight over the "sprise party" as he termed it, sat down at the table when in walked Tom, a new man—the Tom Molly loved, the daddy Junior adored. He shyly laid a package before each of them. "Just a little re- membrance for the best pals in the world," he said, and entering into the spirit of the affair surprising them more every minute. A few days later at breakfast,—not a burned, soggy one like the day of the "sprise party," but a cheerful family affair—Molly and Junior sat up as they heard Tom exclaim over an item in the paper. The old worried expression returned to Tom's face, but was followed by one of great relief. The little pal and the big pal, as he called them, settled down to breakfast again, little knowing what Tom's remark "Just an unexpected bit of news, dear," held back of it; for the headline, "Newman Turns Swindler, Caught After Lively Chase," told the story.
