Senior Presents Class Picture Collectively, the class of '48 pre sents an entirely different picture than they do individually. Murgi:' Lane Mason, a member ol the gra duating, class, presents here their unusual appearance as a single en tity: I hesitated when I was asked to prepare this picture of the Class of 1948 for your inspection. I was not an artist, and everybody knew it. Anv of my teachers could tell you that I was never especially proficient in drawing anything except attention and could never paint p.nything successfully not even my own face. Besides, the Class of 1948 is a Very lively subject for even an 'ex pert to attempt to sketch. Thev are never any of them twice alike, nor apt to be found twice in the same place or position. E"en a snap- snoD coum never eaten them in anything better than a blur. Be-1 iides, I am only one person, of iecidely individual opinions, and could only look at my classmates through my own eyes. I cannot see them ps they see themselves, nor even as you might see them if you might stand for a time in my position, and be able to look !at them from my point of view. But, as it seems my fate to be I expected to hold the mirror up Y U 41 1 , ueiuic mcse nineteen Doys ana girls who have been my classmates for so long and be to them that power that would, as Burns says, "Th gift e ?ie us T see oursel's as liners see us," I can only paint them in such I) words as aDDe.ir to me to exnres-- thpm as I see them. This, then,! dear friends, is the Class of 1948, as I see it today: (1 am sure you will nardon the exact measure ments, as I would make a better carpenter than I would an artist and have always been very fond of mathematical statistics. I speak In fiffnronO Tim Class of 1048 is made on n" nineteen members eleven girls and eight boys. We range in age from Weldon Earl Fulcher's seven teen years, three months, and three days to Johnnie Willis' twen ly years. We range in height from Lorna Belle Guthrie's five feet one inch high heels, long hat feather -and all, to Roland Lupton's six feet three inches with or without his silk stockings. We range in weight from Lorna's ninety-six pounds ; (featherbrain and all) to Johnnie Willis' one hundred and eighty. Taken altogether as the one in body that we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great Ndeal, if he's ever going to begin to learn for he would be three hundred and thirty-seven years old surely an age of wisdom, and gower, end dignity, verging upon veneration. - , Our height is one hundred nine feet ten inches, which certainly - raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above .our enemies, and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see,' too, what a heavy pro position we are by the fact that taken altogether, and even giving due consideration to Lorna's dain ty figure, we tip the Kales at ex actly twenty-seven hundred and fifty-five pounds. Someone has libelously Jiinted that this weight -fc the same, either with or without I orna, but we think this is hardly a fair accusation, and we do not Kpect any of you to give it any consideration. Our band is certainly large-en-ouih to get a good firm grasp UDon tile affain of th. wnrlH ) well as upon our own individual concern;, ior we wear a one hun aUCftd and forty-one'glove. Our head is ol sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of know ledgi have been cramming into ( w) j r 9 ;4 48 (fefi L J :a ILJt - v 1 Graduates pictured here, read ing from left to right, top row, are Pauline Dixon, daughter of Mrs. !

Some say that if we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foot hold upon the world's battle ground, by .way of our colossal understanding, for we wear a No. 140 12 shoe. This is the Class of 1948 in her big moments. Then even her Class Pi.. ns to b taken on the Installment plan. But we have not . on nines sucn a mightiy sense of our vastness. Sometimes our pride sinks to a mere average ca pacity, when Mr. Barfield assurer us we have a splendid capacity for averages. We have been investiga ting this Jine, too, but will not bore you with a recital of the re sultant statistics. We are accomplished in all things. We have often proved to you how well we can sing, dance, read, recite and perform in many entertaining ways before the pub lic. We hatfe all proven our prow ess in athletics, and won many hnnors for our class and school. What we do not know has seemed to us to be scarcely worth the learning. What we do know has seemed to our teachers to be very much worth the learning. That may be one of the reasons why we know it, but we nave nothing fur ther to add along this line. We have within our ranks, poets, musicians, , actresses, preachers statesmen, professors judges, phy icians, authors, artists and one United States president, Do not ask me to specify the which or the who. Ask me thirty years from now, and perhaps I may be better able to say, for, of course, they are still in a state of partial deve lopment, and while I can tell you what they are now, "it doth not yet appear what they shall be." But this, friends, is a subdued picture of the Class of 1948, crudely sketched from the brilliant colors of my imagination, lest I should lay myself open to the charge of undue self-appreciation or exaggeration. Far be it from our wish to run any such risk as that! . : . : . Suffice lt to say that while the career of the Class has from the very beginning been glowing with color and brightness, it is only a p'lmose of the great things at fore shadows, when Life, as the master artist, mixes the shades that have been decreed by the forces of des-. tiny for the painting of the perma nent and eternal canvas thwfc shall last throughout the ages as thvf perfect and Indestructible Class Picture of 198.

EARLY JEWELERS Arendell St MOREIIEAD CITY' CLASS Now that our high school work is ended, and our books are laid aside, And our teachers have graded our papers, and all harsh words have died, We shall rest, (or truly We've earned it, rest for an hour or two, 'Till the world outside shall call us and tell us what to do.
