FOREWORD

E HAVE followed the ship idea in our year

book because Elizabath City is a river townand owes much of its progress to the river

trade, and because most of us have been broug,ht up

beside the waters of the Pasquotank and only forty

miles from the Atlantic ocsan.

Although our book has its faults, it is the product

of our best endeavor and we will love it for the mem-ories of our dear old hi^h school days at E. C. H. S.

As a token of our appreciation of his labors

and his ever inspiring interest in all our

aims and ambitions at all times, We,

the Staff, the Senior Class and

Students of Elizabeth City

Hi^h School dedicate

this, our tenthedition of

To Mr. E. H. Hartsell

our Principal

Our strong band can ne'er be broken

Formed at E. C. High;

Sealed by friendship's tie.

Loud her praises cry;

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater!

Hail to E. C. High

Our love to E. C. High.

Class Poem

I

The Good Ship '30 has come to port

;

Its four year voyage has seemed so short.

Our mates of the voyage are anxious to see

How the haven of Graduation will be.

II

Our first year of sailing was peaceful and calm

As lowest of gobs we labored along

Taking- our orders from higher men,

And consoling" ourselves with "Just wait till when

III

Then we were promoted to second place

And could meet our superiors face to face.

We walked around like we owned the boat

And made the fresh, green gobs our goat.

IVHeave ho ! me hearties we're almost on top.

This advancement to third place will be our last stop

Before we're shipmasters. Now heed each mistake

Of those whose places we soon will take.

VThen we began the east lap of the sail,

Giving orders with strong voices, hearty and hale.

And we almost regret that our voyage is near done,

For it seems as though it has just begun-

VIAnd now that our first voyage is complete,

We've another to make that's a far greater feat.

Behold, fellow shipmates, the Sea of Life

!

We must sail it in spite of its storm and strife-

VII

So here's power to you all and of voyages the best

Good shipmates of '30 of E. C. H. S.

/ 1

Q)

We went down by Pluto's inferno,

To see our classmates there

Some were shovelin' coal in the furnace

How we laughed to see 'em cuss and swear.

The first person we encounter is Russell Evans. He was usually first in every en-

terprise on earth and he keeps up his record. He was such a good student back at E. C. H.

S. that we fail to see why he should be made to answer silly questions till the end of

time. His blond, bespectacled questioner looks strangely familiar and many of the

questions are "en francais."

What horrid deeds did Teen-da, Maret, Glenna and Susie commit? Our sweet

candy girls must stand here eternally and implore little boy spirits to stop snitching

candy. But all their pleadings are in vain.

Next we see through the mist and steam, Hugh Sawyer, known on earth as Tubby.

As soon as we come within his range of vision he greets us as joyfully as a spirit could

greet mortal visitors. His punishment, he tells us is lending notebook paper to boy spirits.

Not a single girl among them! He drys a furtive tear at this point.

Dora, Margaret Simpson, Ida Catherine, Mary Prances and Mary Heath play a never

ending game of basketball with some Hertford spirits who have the lead by only a fewpoints. What a punishment!

This looks pleasant. It seems to be a banquet scene. Not the one from Macbethbut the one of J. A. Jones. Honey Johnson is making an after dinner speech and he does

not look exactly happy. Pauline Deans and Leon are among those seated around the

festive board and they are supremely miserable because of their inability to interrupt.

Rennie, Mary Raper and Ruth Davenport are as inseparable in spirit as they used

to be on Burgess Street in the old days. As they pass we overhear allusions of "bummingto Hertford." We stop them and they tell us that for the last ten years they have beentrying to hook a ride to that fair metropolis but so far they have been unsuccessful.

What is this fearful clamor? Thru the steam and mist gallops Pluto's mighty black

steeds in gay trappings. They have been borrowed especially for this occasion, the driver,

Sybil Alexander, tells us. She wields the powerful seven passenger chariot as if she wereaccustomed to it. She is accompanied by the girls upon whom we always depended to

keep the class of '30 upon an even keel. Oh, how they have changed! ! Wilma Tillett

greets us effusively and wants to know what we are doing in Hadss in our mortalforms. We tell her that for years we have sought trace of our former classmates andseem to have at last found their rendezvous. Martha Berry sits in the back of thechariot, swinging her feet, and singing in a high squeaky voice that old favorite "I'mNo Man's Mama Now." Thelma Cartwright and Millicent Harris jump out and give usa demonstration of The Hades Hop which they have just mastered after a thirty daycourse. Hazel Silverthorne sits quietly on the floor of the chariot and slyly eats all thecakes from the lunch baskets. We think her punishment rather light until we rememberthat she didn't like pink frosted cakes. At this juncture Rachel Miller comis puffing up.

She declares that Martha pushed her oft' the chariot as they were rounding a sharp curve.

But her same old sunny nature overcomes any hard feelings and "Everybody's Happy."with many good-byes and a couple of ancient "toodle-oos" thrown in, they take their

noisy departure.

We proceed on our journey in a thoughtful mood. More than ever before we realize

that it never pays to be good all the time. Just see what they received!

As we stroll along Asbestos Alley we peruse the guidebook and find that the pun-

0)'

Class Prophesy—Conlinued

ishment influted on Mary Johnson and Clarine Bunch is that of typing exercises cor-

rectly down to the last word and then, making an error, are not allowed to cuss a single

"damn."Now we reach old Pluto's kingly grotto. He is seated upon his throne, his sceptre in

his hand. We are just in time for the kings entertainment. It is in the form of anacrobatic and dancing troupe. We are acquainted with many of them. There is a chorus

of six consisting of Alice Woodell and Pish Harrell, Alice Barrow and Rayford Provo,

Alice Davis and John Shannonhouse. Evidently ole Pluto favors the "Alices."

The King's favorite is seated on his right. She smiles and winks at us and then werecognized her as our class beauty, Isa Moran.

From here we go on down Asphalt Avenue and at the intersection of Brimstone

Boulevard whom should we see directing traffic but our own Rives Taylor. He is trying

to settle a heated argument between two excited lady motorists. Upon closer scrutiny

we find them to be Dorothy Hicks and Camilla Foreman."Paradise Park" is the label of one of the busses passing. We catch it, interested

to see if any of our classmates were able to make the grade to Paradise.

We peek in the gate and over the wall, because for some unknown reason we are

barred. We see two beautiful statues standing with crossed hands and uplifted eyes.

No, they move. Bless our souls, if it isn't St. Nina and St. Bessie. We knew they'd get

to Paradise eventually.

Gee, there comes one of the keepers. Hope he wont chase us off the wall. Hethrows someone out on his ear. Sympathetically, we clamber from our perches to help

raise the fallen brother. It turns out to be no other than Ruth Lane. But just why she

should be thrown out of this heavenly place we fail to see. She carefully explains that

she was only trying to get her some angel wings. She had been caught in the act of

breaking into Wright Bros. Wing Co.

We resume our seats on the wall and discern two spirits walking slowly toward us.

They are reading books and pull little express wagons filled with books. Maret Winder is

the one with glasses and the one munching potato chips so thoughtfully is her ole pal,

Augusta Walker.Here comes a buxom milkmaid. She is singing "Down on the Farm" in a cheery

voice. Yes, that's right it's Bessie Markham Lowry.Hearing a fluttering of wings above our heads we look up to see Helen Garrett and

Margaret Lassiter flapping their great white wings violently. They are trying to set anendurance record for angels. They seem to have no trouble in staying aloft and look as

if they weigh only a few ounces at the most. How different are the shapes which weassume when we dispense mortal upholstering.

Elizabeth Greenleaf now claims our attention. We had failed to recognize her

before because of her solemn features and her immobile position in a chair. We yell

over the wall to her and inquire after her happiness and well-being. She informs us

that because of her good works she was allowed entrance into Elysuuim bu't that she

had been deprived of her giggling and still worse, she had to keep still. At this point she

almost wept but we threw her a box of Animal Crackers and thus averted a calamity.

We consult the guide book once more and, to our surprise, find that we have seen all

the members of the class of '30. Our curiosity satisfied, we turn our weary footsteps towardthe elevator. We punch the button marked, "Upper World" and soon we find ourselves

once more upon the hotel corner. Feeling that we need refreshments, we repair to

drugstore for well earned dopes.

Qirl's basketball Team

A goal! The game! Victory! The championship!

Well might this be said of the final game of the season when Elizabeth City HighSchool and Washington High School were scrapping it out for the honor of claiming

part of the Northeastern North Carolina High School Girls Basketball Championship.

The final count was 16-14 with the E. C. H. S. girls on the big end of the score.

By winning this game oiu- girls share the conference championship with the Con-way sextette with a percentage of .875. A standing percentage of 917 was the record of

the 1929-1930 team.

The girls' basketball season was undoubtedly the most successful in the memory of

the students. Coach Dorothy Turner was chiefly responsible for the success of the teamand her splendid coaching pulled the girls through many tight places.

Captain Dora Wells, center and forward on the crack sextette, played her best

and last basketball season of her career for the old school. Captain Wells was high scorer

of the season with 190 of her team's 342 points to her credit.

Mann and Simpson, although out of several games because of injuries and illness,

came next in line for scoring honors with 80 and 30 points, respectively. Wilkins with 26

points, Lewis twelve, and Gard two completed the score.

Regular guards were Hill, Lewis, Nicholson, and M. F. Williams. These red-hot

guards played the greatest season of their careers by holding Best City's opposing sharp-

shooters to 205 points.

Miss Van Horn teaches English, sentence and theme.

She also coaches the debating team.

Mr. Hodges came to us the last half of the year.

He teaches algebra and arithmetic and we think he likes it here.

Next is Dorothy Turner with her French air.

She has quite a time with that wave in her hair.

Miss Williams teaches algebra and

does she get a thrill

When anybody mentions Carolina

or Chapel Hill!

Fred Isenliour teaches Science and he's

fond of boating, too.

We're often forced to wonder if he

will not join the Crewe.

Head of the Business Department is

Mrs. Evelyn Crewe.

She handles quite efficiently

A job big enough for two.

Hunsu'cker teaches Science; he's the stuff from which

girl's dreams are made.

His hobby's athletics and he's been with the boys

in all the games they've played.

"Sing Folderol, sing Folderol,"

we hear Mrs. Rigdon say.

But after waiting many weeks.

We saw the glee club play.

Reasons IDhi] '30 lUill Qo Dou?n In Ristorij

By Helen Hill

Other classes may come and go but '30 will go on forever for from its ranks have

come the most famous graduates of this worthy institution. They will spread the fame of

'30 abroad in every field of endeavor because of their potential possibilities.

First of course, is our Editor, Margaret Winder. She's the man behind the guns

when it comes to running the Spotlight and she makes her staff step lively. Besides

being a great newspaperwoman, she is one of the world's best debaters. It's useless to

argue with her.

Then there's Tubby Sawyer who can "kill" a saxophone. He could make a woodenIndian dance. He has played in numerous orchestras and has won widespread fame as

a musician.

Next we have our stellar athlete and three-letter man, Honey Johnson. He excels

in all forms of athletics that the school affords. The big league baseball teams are missing

a lot by not having Honey on their batting lists.

After him it might be well to mention Dora Wells, captain of the championship girls'

basketball team and high-scorer for the past two years. Dora is the best basket-ball

player E. C. H. S. has ever produced.

The terpsichorean celebrity from the class of '30 is Rennie Williams. Rennie canboth sing and dance, but is better known for her dancing. She can do the classical kind

and the jazzy kind or any other kind. She's really a wonder. Broadway ain't seen nothingyet! Just wait till Rennie gets up there.

After Rennie comes Fish Harrell, the greatest manager who ever was. Fish could

manage anything. The only fly in his soup is the high cost of baseballs but nevertheless,

he always manages to make both ends meet. Along with Fish we have another manager,'Gusta Walker. She manages the business end of the Spotlight and manages to keepeverybody out of her little red book where she has her staff all rated.

There is Russell Evans who has so many various accomplishments that we don't

know in what line he is best. He may become an eminent physicist or a mathematicianand he may devote himself to editing the sport column in the Daily Advance. He's sure

to make good in one of these as he is already an authority in all these.

Then who doesn't know Suzanne Melick, famous for her wit and humor and herpiano playing? She is the wittiest person in our class and can always find somethingto laugh at.

After Suzanne we might mention Bobby Lewis, the big blond who has so muchpower over women. That isn't all Bobby is well known for; he played end on the football

team and sang bass in that famous Jones' Glee Club.

Our choice for masculine pulchritude is Joe Howard Stevens. None of the girls

can make any time with him however, for his heart is at N. C. C. W. Besides beingblessed with good looks, Howard is also the artist of the class. For a sample of his

ability at dreaming just look at the Senior Statistic page.

Our female beauty is Isa Moran, and the "face that launched a thousand ships" hasnothing on hers. She has been winning beauty contests ever since she entered highschool.

Of course these are not all by any means, but lack of space prohibits any more of

this panegyric.

Of superintendents we've the best,

He's interested in everything.

But we all know what he likes best

And that's to hear his Glee Club sing.

Mr. Hartsell runs the school,

The Students and the faculty.

But when at home with wife and son,

He's just another man, you'll see.

Mr. Casper teaches math and science

quite industriously.

His interests are in Math and fish

and Greenville which makes three.

Miss Carroll's a good English teacher we'll say,

She's the very one to get up a play.

Now here's to Miss Whaley who can cook and sew,

The way to man's heart's through his stomach,

you know.

Our history teacher and librarian is

Mrs. Clinkscales you see.

She's a jolly good sport in every wayand she knows her History.

Miss Dunlap teaches Latin andshe teaches us to say,

Many things in Latin, but she

^says most often, "Tacite!"

Miss Payne teaches Civics andHistory too,

She censors as childish

what we say and do.

Now Benson Willis Davisteaches English and Latinthree.

He's a born mountaineer andgets "tres mal de mer"when he goes out to sea.

Mr. Hodges: "What is a board foot?"

Mary Leigh Sheep: "It's the lower endof a wooden leg."

Mr. Davis (shaking Bobby Barrett)

:

"I think the very devil has got held of

you."

Bobby: "I think so myself."

Miss Dunlap: "Susie, is there anythingyou can do better than anyone else."

Susie: "Sure, read my own writing."

T. C: "The engine is missing."

Milly: "That's all right. It doesn't

show."

Polly: Miss Carroll, how long can I live

without brains."

Miss Carroll: "That remains to be

seen."

Mr. Hartsell: "Is this your father's

signature?"

Tubby: "IJJearest I could get to it."

Rives: "Who originated the first prop-

osition?"

Russell: "Noah."

Rives: "How's that."

Russell: "He constructed an arc B. C."

Tubby: "I'm going to sue Mr. Hartsell

for libel."

Fish: "Why?"Tubby: "He wrote on my English paper,

'You have bad relatives and antecedents.'"

Miss Carroll: "Hugh, I'm tempted to

keep you in four hours."

Tubby: "Yield not to temptation."

Mr. Isenhour: "Edna, have you writ-

ten up your experiment?"

Edna: (Silent, translating French anddoesn't want to be disturbed.)

Mr. Isenhour: "Edna Mae Scott, haveyou written up your experiment?"

Edna: "Frederick Sinclair Isenhour.

No."

Margaret: "Aw shut up! You're the

biggest dunce in the room."

Miss Dunlap: "Children, children, don't

forget that I'm in here."

Bobby: "Well, professor, I don't be-

lieve in kissing myself."

Mr. Casper: "No, I generally prefer

some one else."

Su'zzanne was sitting with her feet

stretched far into the aisle and was busily

chewing gum when Miss Turner espied

her.

"Suzanne," she called sharply, "take

the gum out of your mou'th and put yourfeet in."

Joke Editor: "Have you heard my last

joke?"

Student: "Mighty glad to hear it's yourlast."

The Seniors get all the credit,

The school gets all the fame.

The printer gets all the money,But the staff gets all the blame.

Alice Barrow: "Alice, what are yougoing to do in your old age?"

Alice Davis: "Graduate."

Hugh: "He left the club because some-one told a story he didn't approve of."

Sweet Young Thing: "Oh, how noble

of him! What was the story?"

"How did you come out in your test?"

"I knocked 'em cold."

"How's that?"

"I got zero."

Mr. Casper: "What? You can't answerthat question! Why, when George Wash-ington was your age, he was a surveyor."

Houghton Ehringhaus: "Yes, sir, andwhen he was your age, he was President

of the United States."
