C., May 18, 1925. ci OD: “ieee ae fleet wings of time, we have arrived at our last year as poe coe Dunbar High School. As you doubtless know, my class is to be graduated this ; . We have had such an interesting time at Dunbar, that I have decided to relate the events which passed during our high school career to you, especially since you’ve never been to our school. Naturally, I shall begin by telling you of our first day at Dunbar, and then proceed to tell you of the most important happenings. The first day at Dunbar proved to be a very happy one. It was one of those clear, bright, sunshiny autumn days. To be exact, it was September 19, 1921, when we were ushered into Dunbar’s spacious assembly hall. Once there we became the show for all the school. Curious boys and girls eager to see and know the latest arrivals stared at us from the balcony; and still others passed through the assembly hall smiling and whispering to each other. A number of boys promised to initiate us, but we clung together so that we escaped this torture. At nine o’clock we were assigned to sections, where our names were recorded and where we made out our daily programs. After this had been done the rest of the day was arranged into seven short periods during which we carried out the program just made out in section. My first section teacher was Mr. Milton, who was in charge of Section N-1. Mr. Milton was an ideal section teacher for freshmen, because he was always so amiable, and he was always giving us good and helpful advice. Now, that I had reached high school, I felt great, and my progress the first year was rather encouraging. I had the nicest teachers one could desire, and I just seemed to feel like working. There was Miss Flagg in English, and Miss Parks in algebra, Miss Gibson in Latin, and Mr. Menard in ancient history. Under these teachers my efforts were well rewarded, especially in that dreaded algebra. However, I waded through that. Was I glad when it was all over? I'll say I was. During our first year there were many activities worthy of note, among which were the Freshmen Rhetoricals, in charge of Mr. Menard, who presented “The Funny Paper.” Then came “The May Carnival” produced by Mr. James Cowan, one of Dunbar’s most popular teachers. The freshmen were represented in this by a group of girls who opened the carnival with the “May Pole Dance.” activities which I shall not mention since they are so numerous. I was not so glad to see Dunbar the second year. It seemed that my vacation had fled all too soon, and I wasn’t in the right mood, anyhow, for studying; therefore my second year was not so fruitful as the first. « Notwithstanding this backward feeling. there was much of interest at Dunbar during the sophomore year. : I forgot to tell you that during my first year Walter L. Smith, who succeeded Mr. Wilkinson. new assistant principal, Miss Julia Brooks. who succeeded Miss Kirkland. Mr. W. L. Smith has instituted the frankly, ways and means by which D and the girls hold similar assemblies. Our school has such a large attendance that we're com periods to prevent the lunch room from being so jammed fifth period Seems to he the favorite, Often pupils aes, hb periods off.

The bitterest struggle of all is The Annual n £ uring my second year at Dunbar I was a member of Company F, Tae the command of Captain Mitchell. Dunbar had five companes and Armstrong ad five, i The drill was held in June on a bright, sunshiny day, and we boys felt rather warm in the close fitting, woolen uniforms. The park was gay with the colors of Dunbar and of Armstrong floating in the breeze. A cheerful mass of humans about twenty thousand strong crowded the park to see us “do our stuff.” It was a most inspiring sight; and all the fair maidens were there, too, to cheer us on. After all the companies had performed, that heartbreaking adjutant walked to the judges. After we had sweltered in the sun for a time which seemed hours, the adju- tant finally awarded places. Company F lost, and we were certainly sad cadets. But we claimed fourth place, as did every other company that did not place—first, second, or third. To appease our disgust and broken spirit we said; “Oh well, any- how, Dunbar won,” for Company B had brought the flag back to dear old Dunbar. Other good things which made us forget were: a rousing assembly at which Arm- strong congratulated us before the whole school, following the custom of good sportsmanship, and a big dance that afternoon. A few weeks later we were off for our summer vacation. Our third year in Dunbar was not very different from our former years, except that we made new resolutions to work harder than ever. To the general activities of the school was added an Honor Society, a branch of a national organization, which embraces only schools of first class rating. To be eli- gible to membership in this organization one must be a senior and must have received sixteen E’s of the thirty maior marks, and obtained not less than F in the others. The students who are members of this society have gained the highest honor Dunbar has to offer. maviottisr interesting event which has been inaugurated is the National Oratorical Contest. Only subjects from American History are permitted for discussion. This contest is sponsored by a group of newspapers with the view of making American His- tory more generally known by getting ee rie erage tans in es ee oat ee i udy of it. “The Evening Star” o is city sponsore: e contest here, pea cecal na ee, were given as prizes for the winners.

You don’t realize how jubilant it makes one feel to be a senior, at last.

The freshmen and sophs seem so youthful that the school takes on the appearance re AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACT AAAS eA aa eee are eTeleere ere of an elementary school rather than a high school; but in most instances the un- dergrads are a hardworking, brainy lot. The activities of the school up to the present date have been numerous. We began the first semester with a luncheon, all eats being contributed by the students. Each class had its tables, and each sought to raise more money than the other. This luncheon was held for the benefit of the “Athletic Association.” This year also saw the establishment of our newspaper “The Observer,” the suc- cessor of the “Ledger.” While doing all this writing, I have entirely ignored an exceedingly noteworthy branch of our school, the dramatic department, under the supervision of Miss Burrill. This department has ofttimes presented meritorious plays, since we’ve been students here. The dramatic class has shown some real talent in their presentations. Their latest successes were achieved through the performance of three original one-act plays, which Miss Burrill presented a few weeks ago. These plays were based upon Negro Life. The dramatic department will present a play, “Quality Street,” by J. M. Barrie, soon. We have two senior clubs, “The Rex Club” for senior boys and “The Fleur-de-lis,” which is made up of senior girls. Each club has as its insignia a pin. Each boy usually gives his pin to his best girl friend, and each girl gives hers to her best boy friend. This makes it quite interesting to be a “Rex” member, or a “Fleur-de-Lis” member as the case may be. Each year the “Fleur-de-Lis” girls have a dance during the Christmas holidays, and they invite their eager friends. The “Rex” boys gave their dance during the Easter holidays, and, boy, it was good. We had the popular Collegiate Troubadors to jazz for us. This is an orchestra usually hired by the young high school and college students to play for their proms. In this case our dance was all too abrupt. How time flies! We'll soon be having the Junior-Senior reception, an annual affair given in honor of the departing seniors. Later, comes “Class Night.” A Greek Pa- geant has been planned for this night. Then comes graduation, after which we'll be seeing Dunbar only in our dreams. Well, so long, old top. Be sure to come down for graduation. Your pal, , RayMonpD TYLER. a [AN The Junior finds himself again, The Senior peeps around the bend. And never more true wisdom find. Now as we part from Dunbar’s gate, Let’s take a thought of others’ fate; The star that Jed us on our way Wants followers true, both night and day. So though with heavy hearts we tell Our Alma Mater dear, “Farewell,” We know the class of “Twenty-five” Must live, and love, and work, and strive. FLORENCE JACKSON Ys We now must wend alone our way As dawns for us another day. Must we follow still the star That led us to you, Dunbar, That Jed us to learning’s gate, And helped to weave for us our fate? Here within thy walls, dear school, We have followed wisdom’s rule. Here mid friends and teachers all Have we hark’d to duty’s call; In work and play spent happy years. Without a thought of life’s hard cares.

This crystal was said to have come from India, where it had been in the possession of a high priest. I had never believed in the powers of this ball, but one evening while thinking of the ap- proaching graduation, something told me to try to discover what my class mates would be in years to come, I rummaged among my treasures and found the ball. After gazing at it for � long time, IT saw an old man turning the pages of a book. This antedeluvian disappeared, and in his place I perceived a stage slowly descending until it became fixed. Then a white-robed figure came slowly on the stage. Who was he—and what was the meaning of the signboard to the left with the word, “Destiny,” upon it? It suddenly dawned upon my mind that this was the “Theatre of Life,” and that the old man was Father Time, whose duty was to change the scenes. First 9 group of chorus girls appeared on the stage. Looking intently at the leading lady, I recognized her as Julia Davis. Her associates were Ruth Pinkett, Genevieve Francis, Annabelle Thornton, Annice Grey, Bernice McDonald, Louise Harry, Isadore Coates, Pearl Tate, and Edith Williams. The next scene was a cabaret act. The entertainer was Henrietta Williams. Among the college youths and maidens seated at the tables were Hilda Webb and Webster Brown, Lula Jackson and Fred Petite, Alice Grant and Charles Miles, Wilhelmina White and Robert Syphax. The latter were noisy and conspicuous. While the enjoyment was at its height, and while I was gazing astonished at my old classmates, I saw the door open; and a tall, lank lady entered attired in a dark and sombre costume. She had ascended a chair and was delivering a lecture on conduct to her audience when I discovered that she was Inez Nicholas. Genevieve Clore, followed by her meek hus- band, Henry Liggons, entered next, accompanied by Catherine Ellis. I was becoming al interested in this act when Father Time approached, and the scene changed to a large, fashionable church, The quiet and solemn priest was ascending the pulpit. I looked,—and looked again. Surely this conld not be Collins George, who was once the life of the class. It was no other. In the audience I perceived Vanny Jenifer, gossipping with Melba Freeman; Berenice Branham, praying devoutly; and there were present also Lydia Budd, Er- nestine Williams. and Evangeline Perry. In the choir were John Payne, Enid Cooke, Robert Weaver, Viana James, and Tasco Stewart. The wonderful music produced by the organist. Lottie Hunter, enchanted me. Looking out of the window I saw the sex- ton, Otis Boyd. when suddenly— The scene shifted to a suburban district, the home of newlyweds. Her in the newly constructed bungalows were to be seen such couples as Mr. and Mrs. Maryin Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. Lenoir Cook. Mr, and Mrs. Harold Lewis, and Mr, and Mrs, Webster brown, The next scene was a country school, the principal of which was Charles Hol land, Lujla Mundy was instructing a class in English, when to her dismay the supervisor, Beatrice Walker, appeared with two visitors, Ruth Lewis and Wilhelmina White, The former delivered a speech on “The Evils of Laughter and Discourtesy” and the latter spoke on “Why We Should Not use Powder and Rouge.” ; Next I saw a dentist’s office, where the dentist was trying to persuade his patient to have a tooth extracted. The dentist was Robert Weaver, and his patient was Doro- In the same district there was a newspaper office. At the desks were seated ciate editors, Robert Jackson, Olga Mamil- ton, Edith Peters, Dorothy Rhodes, and Bessie Lee, all of that famous class in Journalism, The next scene was in a Parisian modiste’s shop. The chie proprietress was Flava Lan- ders, assisted by Amy Orme and Olive Lacey. The business manager was James Tyson, While they were discussing new gowns, a customer entered. It proved to be Gladys thy Page, the editor-in-chief, Harold Lewis, and his Moore, once a fashion-plate of Dunbar. The final scene faded—the curtain fell, and fallen while gazing into my magic erystal ball. e Phar anna oa rRNA TIT T TTT IITTTeIIea I awoke from the trance into which IT had RRR RARRARRARRARURRRAARO RAVINIA ee Ieswelw ese aeTeesesaesereeserarel sree 3] EX IC Class Will —— eae SCHOOLMATES and Teachers of Dunbar: i [a ais a 25 draw to a close, we eall you | As the last days of this famous Class of 19! : a together to distribute among you our most precious possessions ¢ 5% A ivi sutting classes sir | To our beloved schoolmates we leave the privilege of cutting classes at ¢ a oy | cus time without being suspended.

All of these facts force me to pour out my soul in writing. So, with your aid, O Muses, I begin my narrative. . I entered upon my high school career a young, innocent boy, twelve years old, with nothing on my mind but studies. Perhaps it was for this reason I as a freshman, and certainly it is the reason that I remember so little of got all EB’ this first chapter of my high school career. The two events that I do remember are, first, the time when, as “Perey,” a young tough, I had to go on the stage for the freshman rhetoricals. In fighting with some members of a gang on the stage something happened, and I fell and hurt myself in a way and in a place I had never intended. You should have seen me get off the stage, though. The second incident that I remember is that a friend of mine was sitting on the steps writing a love note to the little lady of his choice when the matron came up and implicated many of us in a small scandal. And though very few other people knew about the affair, it was to me—a young saint then —quite a horrid mix-up. T also remember that in my first year I was quite unhappy. I had no girl. Love was absent from my routine. I was uninitiated in its great mysteries. Perhaps I was foolish not to be happy, but nevertheless I remained sad, and so, late in the year I found that though intellectual rewards are sweet they cannot fill the vacancy which love demands in every heart, And with this discovery, an uneventful chapter closed. CHAPTER II THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS AND MY DOWNFALL BEGINS And, as in shadowland I go back in fond memory to the next period of my past, my mind is torn between two emotions: sorrow that I did not continue along the stra and narrow path, and joy for the pleasure I haye gained by straying. It was in my second year that my downfall began, and I first fell, enticed by the alluring wiles of a woman. Remembering the lesson of my first year, I determined to get a girl, My eye happened to light upon a demure, coy, freshman girl. After many weeks of adoring ber from afar, I finally gathered courage to speak to her. my surprise when she smiled and said, “Hello,” right back to me. that I didn’t know what to say. 1 just blushed, and, very embarrassed, ran away. The effect was so great that instead of getting all B's, I fell down to two E's and two G's, for which I got a good scolding at home. igit Imagine I was so surprised Nevertheless, I continued to worship the fair damsel from afar, sending pretty, silly billets of love to her, letting the pen do for me what my lips dared not. Soon, how- ever, my young heart received an enormous shock, came desperate and determined to change my ways. I determined to become a boll lever, not a timid laggard as 1 had been heretofore, but a dashing, impetuous, romantic lover of the type I had often read about, Buraged, 1 made love to every pretty yirl 1 saw, fell in decided over night that they were not worth the trouble morrow went to another, A freshman stole my girl!

I learned that aptured if it was approached in the right way; and, alas! Thus ended the second chapter of my quest. CHAPTER III THRILLS AND TITROES : The third year I became a disillusioned eynic, and of course, it was a girl who caused it. When school opened I started on my junior year because there was nothing else to do. I continued in my love game, some of the glamour of which had worn off, and flirted, and made love regardless of face form, or disposition. I loved because it had become a habit, just as going to school was a_ habit. But I was due for a rude awakening. I joined the Christmas Carnival because it was my habit to join anything extra-curricula. In this I first realized how much I needed a true love, how foolish my silly flirtations were. One number especially showed me what I was missing. In this dance every fellow danced with his girl (with many of whom I had flirted) to the tune of “My Wonderful One.” I saw that I had not been fooling the girls, I had been merely making a fool of myself. I was looked upon as their monkey, a queer animal to be played with, until their own true love should arrive. I became morose and turned to my ever faithful companions—books. I even managed to get three B's. And finally love did come to me. It was spring. The annual drill was about to come off. And I fell head over heels in love with a girl whom I had known nearly all my life. She led me on, transporting me from this lowly realm to the ethereal heights of that Fool's Paradise—‘Seyventh Heaven.” To such high dream worlds she carried me, only to drag me down to the lowest abyss of the Hades of Cynicism and Disillusion- ment. The day after she pledged her heart to me by accepting my arm band, she pledged her faith to another by accepting bis Rex pin! Heartless wretch, to so destroy a young innocent’s illusions! I steeled myself to my grief, though, and decided in my young, foolish. heart that there was no girl whom a man shonld trust or over whom a man should worry. So ended the saddest chapter of my career. CHAPTER IV TRUE LOVE AT LAST Now I shall begin the last chapter of my high school life. Saddened by my expe- rience of the year before I became very studious. I became even morbid. I decided that all life was vain and that man lives but to die; the lowest criminal eng the. gveatest judge, the poorest beggar and the richest king, all end ef the grave. The suicide but brings his sufferings to an end a little before one who dies naturally, And, really, are the few joys we receive in our short span of life worth the trouble, the care, the tus aches, it takes to live? Is life so sweet that such vic ssitudes should be so passively endured? Were it not better to end it all, to gain everlasting peace; to rest in happi- ness beneath the sod, than to walk in perpetual douht above it?

But to make a long story short, IT came in betjeen them, and now she loyes me, or she says she does. And although qualms of a See held me once, I fear nothing now. I’m in love and I am loved. I believe in the beauty of life again. She’d make you believe anything. I am happy, gay, and—Oh, it affects you that way, you know. I feel as if the world is mine. My soul is so pa that my body can searcely contain it. I dwell all day among the clouds and at night among the stars. My teachers call upon me, but fail to bring me from my dreams. My heart is ready to troop away to fairyland with the first band of sunbeams wht h shine through my classroom window. I am in love. And though this may sound like the ravings of a fool, all lovers are fools. And now I come to the end of my narrative just as I enter upon the beginning of a new life, with pity for those who aren't in love, compassion for those who love and are not loved, and a feeling of brotherhood with the other fools, those who love as I. Dunbar Town Y, HOW TIME DOES FLY! It seems but a day since I left Graded Suburbs after my eight years’ stay in various sections of it. While living in that eI the price of staying there with the coin of intelligence, which was only ob- 2 tained through hard effort. So after taking a sad leave of Graded Suburbs, I came to Dunbar Town. Dunbar Town I found to be a magnificent place with its four broad streets: Fresh- man Lane, Sophomore Boulevard, Junior Avenue, and Rue de Seniors. These streets, though they looked easy to travel, were exceedingly hard at times, because they were payed with studies. The first street I lived upon was Freshman Lane. Here her before, but in Freshman Lane I became so intimate with her, and her little cousins Grammar and Composition. that now I cannot do without them. Another little girl She was quite dull, however, and always talking about ancient T had two boy companions also: one was Latin, whom I hated, because I could never understand him; the other was Algebra, a darling little chap, who talked so quaintly, He used to talk like this: X+y=2+k; and he had other cute expressions I used to have such a good time trying to figure him out. I enjoyed myself in Freshman Lane, oh, so much. various athletic by-ways. res place I had heard of a marvelous, spacious, and beautiful city called Dunbar Town. I longed to live in this city, although I knew I would have to pay I became acquainted with four little friends. The first was a very talkative little girl named English.

L used to be rather timid before the rulers of the city, though: the Governor, Mr. Principal and his assistant, Miss Deau. I used to fear and envy the inhabitants of the other streets, too. I determined to move on those Streets when I had gathered enough of the coin of intelligence. And just after I had made this decision, Mr. Prin- cipal sent word that I could go to Sophomore Boulevard. On Sophomore Boulevard I met some relatives of my Freshman friends as well as two or three new acquaintances: a very fascinating gentle Whom I sot along finely and a very conceited man, calle man named Geometry with ds Mr. Caesar. He had written a whole volume about himself and his wars. him. I began to hate the Whole street, because my friends got so fussy at times, and there was so little play. Thad to study hard, but I finally got along well enough to move to the gay Junior Aventis. On Junior Avenue I met many new acquaintances, but little Miss English was my only old one. This year I had a pretty good time. The people on Junior Avenue gave those on Rue de Seniors dance, It was a gorgeous affair, All the guests were dressed so finely. At the drill too, when Dunbar Town won, the seniors were very prominent. I decided to go on to Rue de Seniors. He expected us to read it, too. I hated And here I am on Rue de Seniors, close to Graduation Station from which trains run into that great mnetropolis, Life. So after four years of pain and joy, jests and jabs, Struggle and reward, I am to leave Dunbar Town, which I have learned toslove. As I stand here in the midst of my comrades, I notice that we are all wearing that fearless, dauntless expression, peculiar to the inhabitants of Seniordom; but, underneath, our hearts are fluttering and palpitating, as, very scared and apprehensive we await what may befall us in that great city, Life. ETHEL CRANEY and COLLINS GEORGE The Plavers’ Guild HE PLAYERS’ GUILD, which is one of the most prominent and active clubs of Dunbar High School presents a rare combination of many arts: literature. painting, dancing, and music. Ever since its organization, it has been one of the greatest factors in the life and welfare of this institution. At the initial meeting this year, the following officers were elected for the S| years 1924-19) President, Elinor Robinson; Vice-P. esident, Marion Jeffer son; Secretary, Gusta Boyd; Business Manager, Ernest Washington ; Tr sur er, pea Weolridge; and Mistress of Costumes, Virginia Davis. This organization, composed ot students from the classes of dramatie interpretation and those students who have already completed the course, has adopted the following inspiring creed: We believe in the beauty and power of the spoken word, We believe in the theatre as a meeting place for many arts: literature, the spoken word � believe ae inting, dancing, and music. i : i bata tie ye in the presentation of good plays, because of their refining influence upon e believe s é poth actor and audience. pan = ge ee believe in the possibilities of the Negro, both as creator and as interpreter of ramatic art. é z 7 ‘ .

Other allegorical characters were: Alice Parker as Jollity; Genevieve Francis, Mirth; Anna- Peace; Beatrice Walker, Pity; and Louise fairies, clad in their dainty dresse belle Thornton, Joy; Harriet Ferguson, Syphax, Love. E The time between the presentation of “The Miser’s Mill” and the next presentation was spent in lively discussion of plays and in arranging the programme for the re- maining time, The crowning feature of the year was the presentation of three original one-act plays: “A Penny's a Penny” by Helen Ogle: “The New Home,” by Miriam Hutchins; and “Leaving the Baby,’ by Dorothy Jones. Two of these plays were particularly inter- esting to ns 9s a race, because they were based entirely on Negro life. The evening was opened with a selection played by the Dunbar sextette, after which a welcome was extended to the invited guests by the president, Elinor Robinson. In the first play presented, “A Penny's a Penny,” the east was as follows: Allan Woolridge as Edward Wylie, the proprietor of a small grocery store; Miriam Hutchins as Elizabeth Wylie the proprietor’s wife; and Edward Carroll as Jimmie, the son of a neighbor. In the second play, “Leaving the Baby,” Maude Davis portrayed most effectively, Mrs. Doolittle a young society woman. The other characters were Lydia, the maid, played by Helen Ogle; Mrs. Page, the mother of Mrs. Doolittle, played by Miriam Hutchins, and the Baby. In “The New Home” were presented Oliver Hill as a university pro- fessor: Eulalia Luckett as Mrs. Webster, his wife; Ethel Hart, as Anne, their young daughter; Amy Orme as Jane Nelson, a white neighbor; Raphael Smith, as a stranger: and Walter Craig, as the Leader of a Mob. After a Grand Opera Selection rendered by the Dunbar Sextette, Miss Burrill, the sponsor of the club, concluded the programme with a few forcible remarks stressing the need of creative writing among the students and their unique mission of learning to interpret correctly the life of the Negro race. The members of the Players’ Guild of ‘24 25 aimed to stamp more forcibly the name of this organization upon the history of the school, and to make it the landmark of in- spiration to those who will come in future years. Class Song (Dunbar Night School Graduating Class) Enshrined in our hearts is our school, dear old Dunbar; Sacred to us are its memories dear. Long it has kept us and helped us go onward, Teaching us better life’s burdens to bear. Now comes a time that has filled us with sadness, When we must part and each go his way; But though we are distant, we'll still -be united, Por Dunbar's high precepts we'll eyer obey. Loath we are now to bid the fond farewell To teachers and schoolmates, dear friends tried and true; We love and adore thee, our own Alma Mater, : Wherever we go we shall still think of you. —Words and music by Mr. Albert Burgess. NIGHT SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS Class History LTHOUGH we were not formally organized until the second semester, the Class of 1925 of the Dunbar Night High School, has, nevertheless, kept itself in the limelight throughout the entire year. We suffered a great disappointment. at the beginning of the year, when we learned that our beloved principal, Mr. Houston, was not to be with us. His successor, Mr. Lewis, however, has been most kindly and helpful. During the year the senior class played an important part in keeping up the morale of the school. It was a self-appointed task, and consisted of such duties as showing newcomers where different rooms were to be found, asking students to refrain from loud talking in the corridors, and speeding up traffic during section time. As a committee the seniors were hosts and hostesses at the Introductory Social, and made themselves responsible for seeing that every one had a good time. We planned a unique method of introducing the hundreds of students to one another, served the re- freshments, and tried to be “the life of the party.” Launching into the second semester, we organized on February 9, 1925. The officers, class motto, and colors were as follows: Class motto: Finished, yet just begun. Class colors: Powder Blue and White. Class officers: President, John Simmons; vice president, Estelle Warner; secretary, Etoile Vaden; treasurer, Carl Skinner. Although were were late organizing we have nevertheless set a precedent for the un- dergraduates of Dunbar Nigbt School. We haye begun what we hope will be carried out by ench successive class from the senior to the freshman year. Never before has a senior class of the night school had class night exercises or a program so excellently rendered. Nor has there eyer been such a gorgeous Senior “Prom” in the annals of Dunbar as the one given on June first, The aemOry, must haye been proud of itself, it was bedecked in such splendor.

After the Honor Club had been disorganized, its former members became affiliated with the National Honor Society, which has chapters in all of the secondary schools of high standing throughout the country. Under the constitution of the latter organization, the membership of the society was not restricted to “EB” students. With its growth in membership the Honor Society has become a more vital factor in the life of the school. The Honor Society reorganized this year on Dececmber 1, 1924. The present officers are: President, Beatrice Walker ; Vice-President, Louise Syphax, and Secretary, Otwiner Smith. At this meeting it was decided to hold regular meetings on the first Monday in every month. 7 The Society has been particnlarly active this year. Its first presentation was given on the occasion of the admision of its new members. Captain John Payne presided over this activity.

These members, not more than fifty, formed the nucleus of the Rex Club, whose members now fare numerous whereyer Dunbar is known. su} Like other school activities, the Rex Club was sponsored by a member of the faculty, who in this case was Mr. Walter L, Smith, then a teacher of mathematics. After six years of growth in numbers and ideals, in 1922. Mr. Bassett assumed the duties of sponsor which he has since faithfully discharged. Mr. Smith has, howeyer, remained an actively interested member of the Rex Club. Each chapter bequeaths to its successors, as active Rex men, a set of priceless tra- ditions accumulated and honored in former years. The constitution, the Rex Prom, and above all service in the school, are chief among these: yet there is something in the name Rex which may be considered the true motivating spirit of the organization. Each year upon organization the club is formally addressed by the principal, Mr. Smith, an event of importance in the history of the new chapter and one which no Rex member can forget. Then,after this introduction, the program of activities for the year is inaugurated. This year the club has undertaken the duties of traffic regulation within the school. In accordance with the purpose of the club, the Easter Prom was giyen and motion pic- tures were exhibited for the benefit of the year book fund. The other activities of the club have consisted of various tasks undertaken to aid other school organizations. The message that the 1924-25 chapter leaves to future Rex members is one of ser- vice and leadership, in substance the same which we received intensified by an additional year of Rex activities, THE FLEUR-DE-LIS CLUB OF 1925 (Right half of picture) A a) ; ; r ae , � LC g THE FLEUR-DE-LIS CLUB OF 1925 (Left half of picture) = i { ; re 7 r — D7 SSE ER ran tee area Tec PIII MORIRRRIAT QI Che Fleur-de-Lis Club VER SINCE ITS ORGANIZATION in 1904, under the name of the Emerson Club, the Mleur-de-lis Club has been one of the leading institutions of Dun- bar. The purpose of this society is to stimulate interest among it s members for productions of artistic merit and to fit them for service in all the paths of life. Eyery senior girl is eligible for membership, The Fieur-de-lis Club of 1925 was organized in November, 1924, with one hundred and forty members and the following executive staff: president, Lottie Hunter: vice-president, Louise Nashe: secreta Eleanor Robinson; treasurer, Gursta Boyd; leader of the Home Cirele, Louise Syphax; of the Social Service Circle, Beatrice Walker; of the Music Circle, Margaret Jones: and of the Outdoor Circle, Annette Hawkins. Miss Julia E. Brooks, the assistant principal. is sponsor. This year the club pins are very unique. The design is a triangle with the Fleur-del is in the center, and on each of three black enamelled corners are the letters D. H. S., respectively. Then there is a chain to which is attached the number twenty-five. The public activities of the club have included a highly successful dance, given during the Christmas holidays in the Dunbar Armory, presentation of two motion pictures: “Saint Elmo” and “The Net,” for the benefit of the Year Book, and a very enjoyable musical program. The program was arranged by Margaret Jones, chairman of the Musie Circle. The Freshmen Girls’ Club was invited to be present. Those who took part were: Lottie Hunter, Margaret Newman, Bessie Lee, Viana James, and Elya Chambers. The Fleuur-de-lis giris have shown their school spirit this year by purchasing the Crimson and Black caps, with the Fleur-de-lis emblem, for the Competitive Drill.

This paper was established in order to furnish the school at large with . true and timely news; and it has been quite successful in doing so. Gn the editorial staff the senior class is represented by Harold Lewis, the editor-in-chief ; Edward Edwards, the managing editor; Louis Lashley, the cir- culating manager; Viana James, the assistant circulating manager; Howard Allen, the advertising manager: Harry Smith, the assistant advertising manager, and Dwight Holmes, the joke editor. The other members, namely, Charles B. A, Shorter and Edith Flynn, associate editors are members of the junior class. This paper is published bi-weekly and is known to be democratic, dependable, original, and optimistic. The salesmen and reporters were selected by the different sections and are under the superyision of the faculty advisers. This paper was instituted because of the need of some outlet for the news of school activities. It has been well established and has made much progress on the road to success Kdith Flynn and Louise Lashley, as delegates from this journal, attended the first convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association which was held at Columbia University in March. The first issue of the paper appeared December 22, 1924, with a circulation of 1,000. This circulation has increased to 1,200 at the present time. With the loyal support of the entire journalism class. this paper bids fair to be a complete success. RADIO CLUB THE RADIO CLUB [—— | HE DUNBAR RADIO CLUB was organized in 1922. The officers for the current | year are William T. Scott, president; Rupert Lloyd, vice-president; Edward Johnson, recording secretary ; Roland Harrison, corresponding secretary ; Carry Freeman, treasurer, and Blanchard Lloyd, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. N. E Weatherless, head of the science department, is chief adviser. 2 The membership of the club is now twenty-five students, to whom all of the electrical and radio equipment of the physics department is available for study. Any member of the student bedy of Dunbar High School with a working knowledge of bat- teries, condensers, tubes, grid-leaks, ete., is eligible to join the club. Later bership will he extended to all students interested in this branch of science. The object of the club is to stimulate interest in radio transmission and reception and to encourage (1) a systematic study of the great principle of conservation of energy as inyolved in fascinating radio phenomena, (2) the repair and construction of radio apparatus, and (3) installation of receiving sets in homes. Since organization, members of the club have built all the leading types of radio receiving sets. William T. Scott, the president, who is a licensed radio operator, built a radio transmitting set for the recent radio exhibit at Armstrong Manual T: School. Several members of the club are operators, on, mem- raining preparing for the examination for licensed Radio is no longer an amusement toy but a mechanism of the very highest educational, industrial, and social value, Travelling with the speed of light, it dispatches infor- mation faster, farther, more accurately, and to more people, than all the other forces combined for the dissemination of useful knowledge. No home is complete without it. Emitting its continuous ethereal waves in the form of ever-widening, illumination, spherleal shells, radio has converted the universe into one vast auditorium for “listeners in,” where millions can hear, at will and at once, all the stirring current events of the moment. ii GERMAN CLUB THE GERMAN CLUB | HE GERMAN CLUB had its birth at “Old M Street.” With the prohibition put upon German during the war, the club's activities were of course checked, But when the language was allowed to return to our curriculum, the club began to function again. The membership is naturally small because the language is slow working its way back. Nevertheless, we have some profitable meetings.

FRENCH CLUB THE FRENCH CLUB URING THE YRAR 19241925, the French Club held fortnightly meetings, at which proverbs. © rossword puzzles, songs, recitations, and original poems by Eulalia Luckett, ‘26, were the principal features. The club substituted for the traditional play three open meetings which were addressed by visitors. On Mareh 23, Miss Lydia Brown, instructor in Dunbar High School, who spent 7 last year in France, spoke on Fontainebleau and Malmaison. On March 30, M, Metz Lochard, professor at Howard University, addressed the club in French on some phases of the literature and culture of the French people. On April 6, Mr. Rayford Logan, who has lived six years in France, spoke in French on French customs. There Was informal discussion in French at these meetings. Otticers of the Club are: Elinor Robinson, 25, president; Louieco Lewis, 26, vice- president; Bernice Walker, °25, Secretary, Mrs. M. Gibson Brewer is the sponsor, Kila XQ] iu LATIN CLUB OFFICERS CIRCULUS ROMANUS IRCULUS ROMANUS was formed in Dunbar High School, March 1924 be- cause of the intense desire of many pupils studying Latin to learn more con- cerning Roman life and customs and the structure of the language itself, The pupils of all Latin classes are eligible to membership in Circulus Ro- manus but they are pledged to contribute to the life of the club by prompt at- tendance and presentation of material suitable for discussion, The Latin club has been sponsored by Mr. William Jennings Newsom, instructor of Latin in Dunbar. The motto of Circulus Romanus is “Excelsior,” and the club colors are purple and white, the imperial colors of “Roma Aeterna.” The officers of the club are as follows: Marie MeEntree, president; Robert McGuire, vice-president; Marie Williams, scribe; Lewis Moss, secretary; Aralessa Wolfolk, treasurer. SJ Meare lla SPANISH CLUB OFFICERS EL CIRCULO ESPANOL L CIRCULO ESPANOL of Dunbar High School was organized for the purpose of giving to the student of Spanish an opportunity for a wider use of the lan- guage than is possible during the class period and of making him further ac- quainted with some of the things of cultural value concerning the Spanish people, The meetings of the club this year have been in charge of Granville Wood- son, president; Catherine Johnson, vice-president; Fredonia Johnson, Secretary; and Earle Shamwell, business manager. Very interesting programs have been arranged by Ethel Easley, chairman of the program committee. Among the programs the following have been most instructive: A series of talks on, “A Day In Spain,” by Dr. Charles Houston, who has been study- ing recently in Spain; and a talk on South America by G.

This year the Glee Club has appeared on several programs. The club has sung at the Christmas exercises, and at special assemblies. In conjunction with the Special Chorus the Glee Club ren- dered two selections, “Flowers” and “Venus” from the operetta, “The Bells j of Beaujolais.” The Boys’ Glee Club, was instituted in 1904 by Mr. Gerald Tyler, teacher of music in M Street High School, and later, Mr. Ernest Amos became sponsor. The Special Chorus consisting of the Boys’ Glee Club and The Girls’ Glee Club was organized later. This musical unit was a great achievement, in that it was a medium by which interested students could display their musical talent, also in that it stimulated a keen interest in music in other students of Dunbar. The first Special Chorus will long be remembered for its fine quality of mixed voices, and the ability of its members to use them properly. The chorus was noted for its rendition of such f amous and difficult compositions as Coleridge-Taylor’s “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast,” the “Sextet from Lucia,” “Crossing the Sar,” and “O Southland,” The Boys’ Glee Club and Girls’ Club combined into the Special Chorus, presented the : “Love's Sacrifice” (Chadwick), “Priscilla” (Surette), “Mary the Maiden” (Loomis), and “Childe Jesue (Clokey and Kirk), besides taking part in musical shows put on by the faculty members. At the present time they are ardently working to present the operetta, “The Bells of Beaujolais,” which promises to eclipse all activities earried on in Dunbar during this year. operettas : PQ Cee rrr TO MAS MOANA [F VULSUHIUO TOOMIS MOL UVvVdNdd iq Sav RESTS ARR ae UR RNAIIRA AAA RURRRRRORORRRRN The Dunbar Orehestra HE WAVE or INTEREST in the development of the student orchestra has Within the last year received the approval and serious support of the country’s leading edueators, As the result of an intelligent campaign of education by the National Association of Music Supervisors, school boards and municipal authorities are everywhere providing for projects in the field of orchestra | work that range from giving major credit and practice time during the school m to providing school instruments and special instructors. Though valued for the purely cultured ontlet and practical training afforded its mnembers, it is rather the wide Scope of its usefulness that has centered attention on the school orchestra. It accompanies the assembly singing, as well as the dances and songs in plays, pageants, and pantomimes; and it heightens interest in school dramaties with its overture, intermezzo, and incidental music. Finally it makes possible for the stu- dents an acquaintance with the world’s best musical literature, and instructs them in the character and names of orchestral instruments. The history of our own orchestra at Dunbar is especially interesting from the point of view of its usefulness. From its beginning six years ago without an official place in the school’s organization, it has grown from six to thirty-five members. Since its or- sanization it has furnished the music for every commencement exercise, and participated in every type of student performance at Dunbar. Despite the meagre provisions for its larger development and its unofficial status under present school laws and appropriations, the orchestra stands teday in Dunbar an extra curricular activity unique as a promoter of co-operation, an avenue of expression and a stimulus to progress. To Mr. Henry Grant, director of the orchestra, belongs great credit for the work done by this remarkable group, ‘the result of his unflagging interest, his tireless patience, and his creative genius. The members of the orchestra are: Violin—Erma Barnwell, Arthur Brooks, Charles Chase, Valentine Dial, Merrill Dixon, Marion VWerebee, Everett Gaskins, Isabelle Hunter, Celestine Jefferson, Theodore Jenkins, Elsie Johnson, Harold Lewis, Rhupard Lloyd, Anna MeConnell, Ethel Nixon, Isabelle Rozier, Alfred Scott, Charles Ware, Teese Witson, Arthur Williams; lute—Blanckard Lloyd; Clarinet—John Davis, James Elliot, Austin Washington; Sarophone—Otis Boyd, Maurice Henry, Raymond Burton, Richard ‘ter, James Holmes.

Europe, head of the music department in the Dunbar High School or- ganized the society, known as the Special Chorus. The purpose of the Special Chorus, is to give talented students an opportunity for expression. It also gives the student a knowledge of worth while community acti- vities such as Choirs, Choral Societies, and Glee Clubs. The Special Chorus also helps the student body to hear and appreciate good music and it furnishes entertainments for the school. Those students who take an active part in the choral society are as follows: Dorothy Lomax, Lillian Taylor, Hazel Moss, Julia Mail, Ethel Saunders, Lydia Budd, Amy Orme, Ethel Nixon, Nora Mitchell, Ethel Easley, Zeta Howard, Vianna James, Booker Parker, Mazie Handy, Nettie Booker, Anna Johnson, Verlettte Johnson and Bernice Johnson. wy) TYPISTS’ CLUB TYPIST CLUB ] RGANIZED OCTOBER, 1924, the Typist Club is doing great work with the help of its sponsor, Miss Johnson. The purpose of the club is to supplement the work of the young typists at Dunbar. Its purpose is also to let the pupils see and know what is being done by the Negro in the great commercial world. During the school year, the members of the club visited many of the Colored business concerns. The members of the club have visited The National Benefit Life Insurance Company and the Prudential Bank. These concerns are owned and run by Negro business men, Before the close of the term, the club will have visited Freedmen’s Hospital, Howard University, some of the government buildings, a newspaper office, and a manufacturing establishment. At many of the meetings of the club, the chairman of the Social Committee entertains the members with some sort of amusement pertaining to the use of the typewriter. There is a great deal of enthusiasm shown among the members of the club, all of whom are working hard to make the Typist Club a success. The following officers were elected for the year 1924-1925: president, Lucy Bailey; vice president, Florence Lee; secretary, Eloise Jones; chairman social committee, Elbina Delilly ; chairman program committee, Florence Lee. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council ELIEVING THAT THE GREATEST MISSION of the public schools. is the training of future citizens, and that such training in this school ean be made more effective by the sharing of the stndents in the conduct of school alairs, those in authority at Dunbar endorsed and organized the Student Council, Through this council the students do not govern Dunbar, but participate in its government. The council is composed of two students from each section, who are elected from the section member hip during the first three weeks of school. They serve a term of one year. The officers of the council are president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. All of the officers are elected by the student body. 'The president is chosen from the senior cla The vice-president may be chosen from the junior or senior class. The secrets and treasurer may be chosen from the junior or sophomore class. iS. The purposes of the council as defined by its constitution, are as follows : To give students an opportunity to practice here and now the privileges and respon- sibilities of citizenship. To promote the ideal of cooperation. To deyelop the proper attitude toward leadership. To create and encourage sentiments of law and order and the proper respect for the rights of others. To promote the general welfare of the school. Thus the council has a number of things which it is striving to attain and to accom- plish, but in the last analysi s all of them lead to one thing, good citizenship. The council has power to recommend rules and regulations for the student body, and to investigate and report on anestions referred to it by the principal of the school. ne it interests itself in bettering the conditions of the school as a whole, the traffic and lunch room conditions in particular. The council was organized in February of this semester, 1925, after details of the i ret ¥ ] studied. At its first meeting these officers reaniz: yn were carefully planned and _ stud t 5 tl ; Daan Ss ident; James Butcher, vice president; William Syphax, were elected: Davis Utz, pre nnd Dorothy Scurlock, treasurer. secretary . Of all the organizations in Dunbar, this is the most promising. We believe that it a O1 Z s destined to become the most influential and powerful factor for the good of the is destine school.

The first, second, third, and fourth men run 440 yards, 220 yards. 660 yards. and 440 yards, respectively. The track team is composed of N. George, J. Miller, H. Liggons, R. Burton and R. Richardson. Alphonso Robinson substituted. A plaque, the official trophy given to the winner of the scholastic mile relay at the Penn Relays, was presented to the school by Mr. Pinderhughes, track coach, on Wednes- day, April 28, in an upperclassmen assembly. It was the first time that the plaque has been won by any local high school. After remarks from the principal, Mr. Walter L. Smith, who lauded the winners, the assembly was turned over to Mr. Pinderhughes who presented the plaque. Gold medals were next awarded to the members of the winning team: George, Burton, Miller, and Richardson. Special praise was given Bryson, who hiked to Philadelphia to see his “buddy,” George, run. At this assembly the cup given the high point winner of the Cross Country Run was presented by Mr. Pinderhughes. Miller of Dunbar placed in this event. The Track Team was again honored in an assembly of upperclassmen on Tuesday morning. May 5. The honors were won at the Howard Track Meet on May 2. Mr. Walter L.

The game was won by Armstrong with a 5 to 0 score. The outstanding players were: Foster and Jackson, ends; Wright at tackle; Hall and Gibson, guards; George at center; Burton and Bryson, half-backs, and Cropp at quarter. The kicking of Burton and the line plunging and tackling of Bryson were features in every game. Although many of these players will not be available for next year, due to graduation, we wish the football team of 1925 all the success in the world. If they play clean, hard football they will be sure to come out on top. The line-up throughout the season was as follows: THE THAM Left End —-_ Left Tackle 5. Foster (Capt.) RST Gen peace eS W.

CONNELLY, physical traininz directress. for girls organized the four class teams basketball on the 26th of January. At this time the managers and captains of each team were elected. Practice for basketball began the first week in February. The girls of each team showed great enthusiasm in attending the meets, and co-operating with their captain in learning the game, and playing it to the best of their ability. The enthusiasm displayed by the senior class is worth honorable mention. Every practice day a squad of senior girls could be seen filing down into the gym. Making goals was just like eating lunch to them. One could always hear a lower classman say, “Gee who is that making those goals?’ The seniors handled a basketball as if it were an orange, The first game of the season was played on Monday, March 30, 1925, in the girls’ gym. The Juniors defeated the Sophs and the Freshmen forfeited to the Seniors. In the second gume the Seniors defeated the Sophs and the Freshmen forfeited to the Juniors. Much to the chagrin of the Juniors, the Seniors defeated them and Won the championship, at the third and last game of the season, SWIMMING CLUB SWIMMING EVER BEFORE in the history of swimming at Dunbar has such a ious effort been made to organize thoroughly and to train properly the swimmers ef our school. Shortly after the opening of last semester, a Swimming Club was formed for the purpose of building up a more systematic and efficient team, That high degree of efficiency which was so marked in our victories of last year is more evident. Interelass competition has created much in- terest in this sport and the developing inter-city swimming meets will do mueh to in- crease it. Tie pupils are expec ted to qualify by passing the following minimum requirement test. Rhythmic breathing (ten times) Dead Man's float (five seconds) Front dive Length of pool (any style) Width of pool (on back) rganized last year but none has been formed this year, A swimming club of girls was 0 sal club last year were very much interested in this unive Those who pelonged to the sport, and many qualified in the above mentioned test. TENNIS CLUB TENNIS ENNIS, which has made tremendous strides during the last decade, is today the most progressive sport played. Since secondary institutions all over the country have developed and maintained tennis teams, it is appropriate that Dunbar should do the same. One of the principal reasons for the rapid growth of the game is that it can be played by women or men with equal profi ency. ic J Last year our tennis team, which was composed of Allen Woolridge , Le- noir Cook Leon Langhorn ‘24, Paul Miller 24, Leonard Johnson ’24 and Ralph Wright ’24, went through the season undefeated. This year the prospects of another good Season are increased by the addition of new talent. T his year a girls’ tennis team has been formed. The members are: Beatrice Walker, Louise Sypbax, Elaine Williams, Harriet Ferguson, Enid Cook, Doris Shumate, Anette Hawkins, Bernice Macdonald, Catherine Gr: Genieveve Francis, Dorothe Davis and Blizabeth Syphax, All are members of the senior class of '2!

In addition to the meet, there were many delightful hikes to the beautiful stretches about Washington. The Rifle Teams became the most popular activity among the girls in the high school. So numerous were the applications for membership at the beginning of the present year, that there was no delay in forming the teams. This year the inter-class meet took place January 19-25. The Senior team under the captaincy of Evelyn Brown carried off the honors. Valentine Dial was captain of the Juniors.

The team lost the first to the Sophomores, but took heart again when the next fame was won from the Freshmen.

Lucille Allen and : Marguerite Jetter, Dunbar 1922, were among the first five in the last graduating class of the Miner Normal. Also, in this year’s graduating class the ex-members of Dunbar will reap honors. Inez Rivers, Pearl Bailey Thelma Entzminzer, Ethelen Eyans, and Beatrice Lee, all of the class of 1923, are doing excellent work, We are told that Jennie Butcher, Julia Dulany, Carolyn Evans, and Ruth West are also doing extremely creditable work. No less important are Elizabeth Anderson, Mil- dred Barton, Romaine Brown, and Hilda Allen, who are Juniors at the Miner Normal. ) Now, let us go to the beantiful land of the South where we shall find Miss Wenonah i Stewart, 1924, toiling in a School room in the state of Alabama. 4 After visiting her for a few days we shall go to the state of Ohio.

Friorence Graves, Alumni Editor CLASS OF 1924 HOLDS REUNION BRONZE PLAQUE PRESENTED TO DUNBAR At its first annual reunion, at the school on Monday, May 11, the Class of 1924 presented the school with a handsome bronze plaque, designed by Mr. W. D. Nixon, instructor in art. The formal exercises held in the auditorium included: Remarks by the presiding officer, Edward Beaubian; Piano Solo, “Deep River” (Samuel Coleridge-Taylor) by Ruth Poole; Class Report by Julia Dulaney; Presentation of the Plaque by Lillian Washing- ton; “Class Song,” by Class of 24; Acceptance of Plaque by the Principal, Mr. Walter L. Smith; Remarks by First Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Garnet C. kinson, and Violin Solo, “Qn the Wings of Song,” (Op. 34, No. 2,—Mendelssohn- Bartholdy) by Garey Brown and Mary Morton, accompanist. The plaque is classic in conception, carefully hand-chased to bring cut the natural beauty of the metal, and surface of letters and prominent points of ornamentation high-lighted to form a pleasing contrast with the rich statuary brown oxidized background. The Class Motto, “Carpe Diem,” meaning, “Seize the Opportunity,” and a Fleur-de-Lis, the school emblem, enshrined between two cornucopias overflowing with fruit, are cardinal features artistically incorporated in the design. Since its establishment in 1870, Dunbar High School, formerly M Street High School, has graduated 48 classes, numbering 4,472 students, as follows: Academic, 1,070 male and 2,633 female; Business, 351 male and 418 female.

Ellis A. Kendall of ’24, now a student of Wesleyan University, sends the following news of the wonderful achievements of previous’ Dunbar graduates. “In the track meet between Wesleyan and Amherst, Hastie, Drew, and Cobb totaled nearly twenty-seven of Amherst’s sixty-seven points.” Kendall was in an interesting position, for while he is a rooter for Wesleyan, he was eager for Dunbarites to acquit themselves with distinction: so he says, “Although we (Wesleyan University) won the meet by one point, I was filled with pride when I saw them doing so well. The places taken by these players were: two first places by Hastie, second by Cobb, and two first, a second, and a third by Drew.” wy HS bas za % B Mercer Cook, a member of the graduating class of 1920 and now a senior at Amherst, has just won the Simpson Scholarship of $1,500 for a year’s study at the Sorbonne next year.

WEAVER It is not my purpose to attempt, within the limits of the time allotted, a detailed analysis of so matchless a document as our Constitution; nor shall I try to pronounce a fitting eulogy of Lincoln. However, I shall endeavor to show ‘that the Constitution of the United States is a precious covenant and that the immortal Lincoln clung to it, as his word of faith, in the most trying hours of his life. First, let us consider the preamble, which contains, in few words, the very essence of the deed. That the framers of the Con- stitution intended that it should be insti- tuted and executed by the people is shown in the first words of the preamble—“We, the people of the United States, do ordain and establish this Constitution.” It is ex- pressly said, “We, the people,” thereby fur- nishing the keystone of popular government and the indispensable factor in the main- tenance of a republic. The first purpose, toxform a more perfect union, is the tie that was intended to bind the nation together for all time. Not only was the establishment of justice necessary for this permanent union, but it was also a fundamental principle of human rights. The assurance of domestic tranquillity and the provision for the common defence were coordinate principles, as every man has a right to peace around his own hearth—to peace in his native land. A democratic government could do no less than promote the general welfare; and that it secured the blessings of liberty to present, past, and future generations, is security against the tyranny of lawlessness and the forerunner of success and happiness. Now, let us see how these purposes are upheld by the branches of government, which execute them. In the legislative de- partment, the mode of electing congress- men, through popular vote, insures domes- tie tranquillity, because the humblest citi- zen may register his will as to the laws that govern him. The Senate and the House of Representatives combine to form a more perfect union, as the upper house guaran- tees equality of state power; and the lower, authority proportional to relative popula- tion. Since the greatest department in our government is endowed with powers and pretected by rules, which provide for the realization of the principles set forth in the preamble, the greatest step towards univer- sal happiness and success has been taken. In the executive department, we find the powers vested in, manner of electing, and restrictions placed upon the president and vice-president enumerated, thereby comply- ing with the principle in the preamble. In the third article, the authority of the Supreme Court is outlined with the same aim in view, culminating the powers of the three great departments in our government. The fourth article, while protecting per- sonal and state rights, gives full assurance of federal power. This document amply provides for such changes as advancing civilization might dictate, by granting the power of amendment in article five. The remaining articles, numbers six and seven, endow the document with power to provide for ratification. The first ten amendments guarantee you and every other citizen of the nation those personal rights, which, when protected by law, make life worth living and unanimous- ly uphold the cardinal principles set forth in the preamble. All other amendments may be placed in one class, as they are all conducive to the one ultimate object, per- petual union. Let us pass from this declaration and charter of human rights to the unique life and character of him who was the embodi- ment of the principles already set forth. Abraham Lincoln could surely say in all sincerity, “We, the people.” Born of the lowly, nurtured and tempered by poverty and hardships, he felt himself one of those common people, whom he once said, “God must have loved because He made so many of them.” His knowledge of human rights, his acquaintance with law and government, We eect were gained largely in Bowes that ee Se and produced the could have Saiklled. Ha died 2 apa the value of tran uilli ge i ag blessings of biberty eee aa cere y. Abraham Lincoln, the man, treasured these; Abraham Lincoln, the statesman, uttered no empty formula, Rien he took the oath of office to uphold a con- stitution which provided for these. The late President Harding said of this man, at the dedication of the memorial which adorns the banks of the Potomac, “Lincoln rose to colossal stature in a day of imperilled union. He first appealed, then commanded, and left the union secure and the nation supreme. Constitutional fram- ers inspired belief in the Constitution, in its heroic beginning. Lincoln proved its qualities, in its heroic preservation. He left the union unchallenged for all succeed- ing time; not only was our nation given a new birth of freedom, but democracy was given a new sanction by the hand of that great liberator.” Lincoln, without passion or prejudice, without sentiment or feeling for any one section of the country, but with love and devotion, entered into the Civil War, re- membering only that upon its success or failure depended the existence of the na- tion, thinking always of the Constitution and realizing that if one state or part of a state could withdraw, then all could sep- arate, resulting in the dissolution of the union and the substitution of insignificant, jealous, and weak states for a great and glorious country. From the beginning of the war, Lincoln declared it to be for the union, not against slavery, and in the face of criticism, stood firm in his purpose; not that he hated slav- ery less but loved the union more. He be- lieved that slavery would not long survive the victory of the North and although every fiber in his body revolted against this in- human practice, he held that his oath of office charged him first to save the union. Who can believe that Lincoln, full of sympathy for the poor and down trodden, which his life among them had engendered, Lincoln who studied the Holy Scriptures, Lincoln who prayed when almost overcome in the dark days of trial, Lincoln who took the oath to ensure the blessings of liberty would not strike a blow at slavery, when the opportunity came? Who can think that the broad vision, the wise statesmanship of the peerless Lincoln could not see that slavery held in bondage the master as much as the slave and that freedom—true free- dom, meant human liberty? Let us in the spirit of Lincoln remember our heritage from the fathers of the Reyo- lution; from the constitutional framers; from our fathers who went forth into the Civil War to maintain human rights guar- anteed by the Constitution, our heritage from the men who saved the day at San- tiago, from those whose blood was shed to make the world safe for democracy—let us, I say, in the spirit of Lincoln, the pa- triot, the statesman, the liberator, dedicate ourselves anew to uphold the CONSTITU- TION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
