Work
Let me but to do my work from day to day : In field or forest, at the desk or loum. In roaring market-place or tranciuil room,
Let me but find it in my heart to say.
When \agrant wishes beckon me astray :
"This is my work; my blessing, not my doom: Of all who live, I am the one by whom
This work can best be done, in the right way."
Then shall I see it, not too great, nor small.
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers: Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours.
.And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At e\entide. to play and lo\e and rest Because I know for me my work is best.

CLASS SONG
Our class today,
It is up and away
At the peep of early morning.
With the- staff in han<l,
^\n eager band.
Our hearts as light as air.
The Purple and Grey is leading away
As the earth our feet are scorning,
And off we start with a buoyant heart
.And with ne\er a thought of care.
CiioRfs: For it is step, ste]), swinging along, We keep the time with a marching song, Left, right, steady and strong. Our class is leading the way.

The First Book of the Tribe of '25 Called '21
X the year of our Lord '21 there entered the land of E. C. T. C, to hegiii their sojourn tb.ere, the tribe of '25. They, the first Freshman Class, were eleven strong. lUit they were sore afraid.
Then Herring took the tribe of '25 and led them through the wilderness. And they came to Thanksgiving, with cheers for the C's — the C's won. .And the tribe of '25 grew in wisdom and in favor with the faculty.
And it came to pass in '22. under Mc.Xrthur, in the fifth month and the twentieth day of the month that the tribe of '25 adopted colors, purple and grey, and a banner.
Moreo\er. in the same year. Reaves called the tribe together and they fur- nished a cabin. The inside whereof was gray and rose. And the chairs were three and the windows five thereof. And the sight thereof was beautiful. And behold, the tribe of '25 chose that as their meeting place.
And it came to pass afterward that the Queen of May was crowned. So the tribe of '25 did make merry and feast. They guarded the animal tent at the merry-making. The sight whereof was great to behold.
And it came to pass in the third year of the sojourn of the tribe of '25 that Colwell was chosen leader. In the ninth month of the third year of the sojourn of this tribe the play, "The Man \Mid Married a Dumb Wife," was given. The tribe felt well pleased by the laughs they got from the crowd.
And behold ! The year "25 approacheth. The journey of the tribe of '25 nears its end. Thus, in the last year of the tribe's journey, with its number increased to seventeen, the tribe of '25 advances with its face to the front.
In the sixth month of this year the tribe put on another play, "Lady Winder- mere's Fan," which was quite different from the other one.
They helped put out an annual. The Tkco.sx. and liehold, when the king says "do" the tribe of '25 is ready to do.
.Vnd it came to pass after four years the tribe, pale and thin from practice teaching in the land of E. C. T. C, comes forth victorious.
Now, therefore, the tribe of '25 reaches its end and receives its ".\.P.." in a cap and gown on the 2nd day of the sixth munth, of the year One Thousand Nine Hundred, Twenty-Five.
Thus ends the trials and tribulations of the tribe of '25. .\nd they are scattered throughout the earth, to the four corners thereof.

The Freshman stood on llie raih-oad track
The train was coining fast ; The Freshman got off the railroad track,
And let the train go i)a-^t.
The Senior stood on the railroad track.
The train was coming fast : The train got off the railroad track,
And let the Senior pass.
At Twilight On Gore Sound
'Twas calm: the drowsy sea had rocked itself to sleep,
And the boats, weary of the tossing of the waves
Throughout the day, rested gently on its bosom.
Bathed in the last rays of the sun.
Many tinted rays : blue which changes into pale green.
Then the loveliest of all — glowing lavender:
A filmy, gauzy, delicateness that hovers.
Just a moment then passes on.
The noises of the busy world are absent now.
The engines of the motor boats have long been still.
Shrieking gulls, dipjiing here and there to snatch a fish.
lia\e found their meal and flown away.
Silence — silence o\er the waterv distance.
Time for rest and ])eace has come and nature obeys.
"S'et listen closely, one can hear the distant ocean.
Forever tossing in its bed.

1. To Mr. Austin, our imagination, so he will be better prepared to make his pupils, who come after us, visualize unseen objects as they exist.
2. To Miss Wilson, all our sarcasm, to lie used only in her classroom when especially needed.
3. To Aliss Hall, a lock and key for her classroom door so the noise of the girls on the hall will not force her to commit suicide.
4. To Miss Jenkins, all the scrambled tests she has so generously given us ; the class as a wdiole desires them to be given back to her.
5. To Miss Hooper and Mr. Deal, our undying love and gratitude for the services rendered us in coaching our Senior play,
6. To Mr. Fitzgerald, all the startling information we have furnished the various teachers from time to time on our examination papers. This information is to be given out to the rural teachers over Pitt County, when he thinks they are ready to receive it.
ITEM I\' To the Juniors, we donate all our surplus dignity and sophistication, hoping this honor will not be too heavy for their young shoulders. We also bequeath a magnifying glass with which to find our privileges.
ITEM V To our sisters, the Sophomore Class, we leave our love and spirit of co- operation, and with tears and sobs we give them our beloved "hut" on condition that it be well i)reser\ed, and that the unmarred furniture be left in its present beauty.

Following higher ideals e\er ;
In the year of nineteen fifty.
1 should answer, I should tell you,
Northward, Southward, Eastward. Westward,
To the four winds of this great earth ;
From the lands of icy climates.
To the lands of ceaseless summer ;
From the lands of steei)est mountains.
To the lands at ocean level.
Over mountains, over \alleys.
Over oceans, over rivers.
Are these friends so widely scattered. If still further you should ask me.
Saying tell us of these classmates ;
Tell us where each member now is.
Where by daily life and duties
Life is being made so happy
For the ones with whom she mingles.
Hoping these to guide and strengthen.
I should answer. I should tell you,
In the cornlands of the Northwest,
In the region of the Great Lakes,
Do we find Amanda Tillman ;
Teaching, guiding, helping, leading,
Children of these husky farmers.
To form plans for future greatness.
Near her is another classmate,
Cleora Quinn. our domestic memlier :
With her wisdom, gleaned at college.
Teaching mothers and their daughters
How to use their home-grown jjroducts.
In many ways they ne'er had thought of.
Here, too, is Rebecca Colwell,
Who heljis them also with their sewing.
Plans their dress for all occasions.
Tells them which are most becoming.
To their s]iecial size and makeup.

Nothing can be more important To the work of the great physician. Than a nurse of sterling character. One with a pure and open countenance. One that feels her duty keenly. Feels it of such great importance.
As to call forth her best effort.
Thus, a nurse, we find Millie Everette,
Standing by this doctor always.
Helps her with her operations.
Boosts her wdien she feels disheartened.
Ready to give her faith and courage.
Helps the weary patients also.
Helps them bear their trials and sufferings
By speaking to them words of kindness. Yet another thing of moment
In caring for the sick and weary.
For the mind and body sufferers.
Drawn with jjain and burned with fever,
Is the nourishment of their bodies.
Food that makes them live and prosper.
Food that means one-half the battle.
In this place of such importance.
As dietitian. Alya Taylor.
Planning always nourishing foods
To strengthen their weakening bodies.

Of the bodily sick and despondent,
And bring back to their cheeks the roses.
Your surprise should not be so great When I tell you of Mrs. Petteway, For surely every one expected Great things from our married member. She has lived up to our fond hopes. And is now a solemn judge In the Supreme Court of our country, Showing kindness to rich and poor. Playing fair with innocence and guilt. Dealing justice to all alike.
We have another national figure. Ivy Phillips, Attorney-General Of this dear old United Country. Well do we remember
