We give to you the task of judging its excellence, for we are conscious of its defects. If, however, as you turn these pages you come upon some picture, sketch, or joke which will recall the pleasant days at Dunbar and the joyous associations with your friends and teachers, and if, when the last page is turned, you feel closer to them and to your Alma Mater, we shall be satisfied.

For the correction of our defects in speech and delivery, For the presentation of cultural and instructive entertain- ments, We owe all gratitude and praise to Miss Burrill Who is constantly holding up our standard in dramaties. Miss Elsie Brown reminds us of Elaine In “The Idylls of the King.” The Honor Society owes a great deal to her.

DY AA A SSL RR ERE SAPS i The Armory eit i oa a ili i ° y Armory a Most cal HETHER the military tactics, or the dances, have made the Ar vy mE a significant place at Dunbar, is no easy thing to say; yet we all SYS that it is p the one place that holds fond memories. Perhaps that is why it is so dear a i to each of us. Should you ask a freshman concerning the Armory, doubtless you a would hear, “Why the boys drill there.” Now, that is true, for it is here that is many a frenzied captain has spent long hours drilling his uniformed company to perfection. Here, too, many a lieutenant colonel, suffering the anguish of defeat, has returned for sympathy. An upperclassman regards the Armory as “Dunbar’s Play- ground,” in that all of the merry-making goes on there—orderly enjoyment, if you please, for Dunbar has her traditions. One of these, the iron rule of order, is obeyed even in the Armory. On reflection, I recall the Armory decorated for one of our festive occasions. Many yards of pretty crepe paper coyered the entire ceiling. Balloons and gay lanterns prettily arranged about it, were a pleasing background for the groups of students standing here and there, waiting perhaps for the next dance or observing; wondering, too, who came with “her” or who “so and so” dances with most, or remarking, “What a wall flower, she has n't had a dance tonight.” A little group of wall flowers away over in one corner laughingly remark, “Don’t they look funny dancing together?’—just friendly criticism you see. Along with the month of June comes the culmination of the social affairs held in the Armor y; for then it is that the juniors honor the seniors with a.dance. This affair is looked forward to with unusual interest. The atmosphere at Dunbar resounds with: “What will you wear?” or, “Have you bought your dress?” The night arrives and perhaps it is doubtful if any other gathering of students would have a higher standard of smart, colorful, yet conservative dresses than those donned by the girls; and inci- dentally our boys with their high collars and collegiate trousers, also form a pleasing part of the picture. Our Dean of Girls and Senior Sponsors are present. The music adds immeasurably to the pleasure of the evening. Promptly at ten o’clock the orchestra plays, “Home Sweet Home.” Some of our boys are seen waiting around rather anxiously, hoping to escort some classmates home, but to their chagrin, fond mamas and other chaperones are waiting anxiously also, just within the Armory doors to relieve them of that walk home, The class of 1926 will cherish the memory of those happy hours spent in the Armory; and we hope that the classes which follow us may find within its walls an incentive to happiness and an inspiration to higher ideals.

I am going to “explain myself” to the best of my ability T shall confine my explanations to con- , carrying you through each step. Ais carci such an experience by the fairer sex for obvious reasous, The first evidence that such an event is to take place is the appearance: of I several posters about the building setting forth the title, the stars, she pecduenie corporation and various other details which “se don’t bother to read, and also display- ye . s scenes designed to entice us to spend our money. Dita is the fatertal means of advertisement. About three days before the date of the performance the management puts a personal touch to it by engaging pupils to tell us, at the rece assemblies, matter that we already know, having gleaned our knowledge from the posters along with just enough of the story to make us want to En OW: the rest. Having finally decided to part with a dime, precarious, though thin, we purchase our ticket and from then on begin anxiously to examine the posters more closely to be positively sure that the picture is worth our dime. ; On the day of the performance we show our excitement by asking friend after friend, companion after companion the same question; namely, “Are you going to the picture?” If one of our friends whose section room happens to be nearer the assembly hall than ours says that she is, we supplement our first question with, “Save me a seat, will or you, pleas “Sure,” answers our friend, though in the end we discover that she was probably only talking for purposes of making conversation. Yet we must not be too quick to jump at such conclusions for, as you will see later, the job was probably too much for her and she gave it up. At the end of the seventh period on that day, we hurry to our section rooms where we stay(?) with ill-repressed excitement. When the bell rings we make a grand rush to get in line and are promptly quelled by alert and efficient teachers. We are told to form in single file which we make a stab at doing, for the line usually stays double or triple in spots until near the assembly hall entrance. We walk in, dropping our tickets in the baskets placed there for the purpose. Our next aim is to find our friends. This is partly the cause of the clatter and hubbub within the auditorium about which Mr. Smith or another person of authority usually speaks by way of a prelude to the performance. Arriving early, we find that the front rows which we had hoped to occupy under the rule of, “First come, first served,” are reserved and held for the claimants by books. Growing desperate at having been thus cheated, we hastily remove the books to other quarters and seat ourselves, leaving it to the owners to find their property as best they can, meanwhile easing our consciences by loudly declaring to almost anyone, “ T is unjust to reserve seats in such a manner.” A flicker of lights, then darkness, Save the red exit lights which are permitted to shine away as “privileged characters,” mark the beginning.

When the class of 1925 moyed up and onward, we inherited the proud position which for three years had been our coveted goal. Though overwhelmed with joy and pride, we were ever conscious of the weighty responsibilities which come with the rank. The Senior Class is the cynosure of the entire school community. Principal and teach- ers expect this class to exemplify the highest and best of the institution, and the re- mainder of the student body recognizes it as the school ideal. It seems fair to presume that the extra privileges accorded the seniors provide an opportunity to test the result of the years of training in the high school. The privilege of attaining membership in the honor society can only be ours by diligent application to the tasks assigned us. The locker room privileges furnish a test of our loyalty to our school, respect for law and order, and esteem for our principal and instructors. Other rights to enjoy special advantages like those cited above are excellent means of testing character. How well we haye measured up to these tests is best known by those who have instructed and observed us during the past year. It is the hope of the Senior Class that the habits of industry, loyalty, respect for authority, and regard for all that is high and noble, which have been formed at Dunbar will develop and grow to such proportions that we shall be capable of leadership in the life for which we are being prepared.

Was it only this morning that I, in common with hundreds of others set out, a full-fledged Freshman, prepared for things wondrous and rare? I'll confess it to you, Diary, I’m just a little bit disillusioned now. I’m wondering if all those others are also? Dunbar is a wonderful thing. Especially attractive is its Assembly Hall, 1 think I know every detail of its furnishings. I should, Diary; I sat there from nine o'clock till after twelve. Pupils coming, pupils going, but never a summons for a group of Weary “paenies.” However, at last the powers that be seemed to take cognizance of our existence; we were assigned to sections and classes, and sent on our blundering way around the building in search of the latter. I like all my teachers, and Diary, I believe I'm going to like high school. : November, 1922— Gracious, Diary, I can hardly snatch time to write this. Truly the path of the Fresh- man is thorny. Just as we were rather settled, along came this dual lunch-hour system to disrupt our arrangements. It isn’t easy for Freshmen to get used to things. I’m just beginning to be versed in the numerous activities of Dunbar. There are clubs. A newspaper. A Christmas post-office to be. The May Carnival looms in the distance. The class organization, some day. The Annual Drill. Oh, we are busy people, I tell you, with our lessons (both dreaded and enjoyed) and all. I’ve come to know a number of class-mates, Diary, and I gather from them that we're all going to like high school! March, 1924— Oh, Diary, how I have neglected you. I’ve been a Sophomore now for ever so long. And a busy life I lead. Happy, though. I sometimes think the second year of high school life is the most delightful. Of course, I’ve had experience with only two! We had an innovation this year. Instead of the customary May Cerniyrl. we took time by the forelock and had a wintry one at Christmas. It was delightful, and great fun for all who had the least part in it. This is the year, it seems, for innovations. For the first time we are having a National VJratorical Contest, sponsored by newspapers. The lucky winner from our school receives a prize of a hundred dollars. There will doubtless be keen competition and as a result most interesting orations. Diary, this class is about the best ever. Every member is in some way interesting, yet each is different. To a close observer of human kind, what a kaleidoscope we must present. There’s Alease Woods, a fiend for mathematics, the two Elaines, with a flair for drawing, James Butcher, who sings, and numerous others haying tendencies in especial directions. Still, spite of the stamps of individuality, we are fundamentally alike. Our teachers are all most sympathetic and helpful. They need to be. Most of us. you see, are tackling Caesar and geometry. Ugh! Sometime in 1925— And now the “paenies” rise up and call me Junior. Exalted state! One feels very dignified and works very hard co uphold one’s standard. Seems to me though, I've been working ever since I entered Dunbar, so that’s nothing new. Ah, well! We were organized earlier than usual this year. Juniors, understand, are rather important (to themselves, anyway). For president we have Verdie Robinson, and for secretary, Mabel Shippen. Can't remember the others. I spoke of clubs, I think, at the very first, Well, we are being almost clubbed to death this year. A club for everything under the sun, our motto! But really it's all very enjoyable, ; an The defunct “Ledger” is being revived this year under the name of the “Observer.” So far it is quite successful. mee Of course tous the great event of the year 1s the Junior-Senior Reception.

When to fellow students we bid farewell, Farewell to one and all, As we go to face greater tasks of life, Fond memories of them we'll recall; We ask them to take up where we left off To “keep a pluggin’ away,” To bear such a motto as this in mind, And with success they'll hold full sway. Never lose heart and drift by the way, Though thorns in your path may stand; But trust in God to lead the way, He, who knows the destiny of man.

For a time there was silence. Then he spoke. His yoice, I noted, had a mysteriously thrilling quality. It was musical, sonorous. “Child,” he said slowly, “your eyes are wonderful. They tell me that you have a soul, a beautiful soul filled with the Romance of life. They make me want to talk to you, to tell you of Romance . . .” He paused, I did not interrupt and he continued :— “It was just such another day as this in this very glen. Long ago—I don’t know just how long. I was restless, moody. I sought peace in the forest. As I came within its shelter it seemed to my sun-dazzled eyes that darkness settled suddenly over the world. I closed them, and then I seemed to hear music, the highest, most tinkling sound. It thrilled my every sense. Suddenly, it seemed as if my life depended on finding the source of that. . . I plunged into the forest, bent on divining it. It ever in the distance lured me, mocking, and all at once, I came upon this glen. I saw the brook, with its laughing, trembling water-music through the wood. But it was not only the brook I discovered. I found Romance. “Romance was seated daintily on the sward beside the brook. Romance had the blackest, loveliest hair in the world, the most liquid and appealing eyes, which gazed up piteously as Romance explained, in a voice of combined nectar and ambrosia, that she had sprained her ankle and couldn't walk. “T carried her in these arms to her home which, unfortunately, as I thought, wasn’t very far. By the time we had arrived, Romance and I were well on the way to knowing each other. I learned that the name by which prosaic people knew her was Ruth. That Ruth lived with a married sister and often came to the glen ‘because it was so sweet!’ These and other mere facts she told me. “But I learned something else, and ’t was my own heart told it to me, in clarion, commanding tone. My life would be a darksome void if she did not light it with her radiance, she and she alone, could keep Romance forever alive in my heart, “Oh, the birds sang, and the glorious orb of the sky beamed with benediction. All the world was glad with me, for I had met Ruth. “We had never known each other before; but we should, in future, see each other frequently, I made sure. I called persistently, and at last found that she in her gracious sweetness loved me too. . . Oh, the ecstasy of that knowledge. “We were married. Oh, happy we were—always. People laughed at us, and called RATA AAA a au SR SS ; Hes a . us us a pair of children. Children—because we were happy and in love? God make us ie all children! th “We could never be sad.

I would come into the forest and find my abies: ty runaway sitting here gazing into the brook. And she would laugh, her own lovely in laugh, and say: f “ ‘Rob, never worry if you lose me, I promise you'll always find me here in the glen.’ ie “And I always did. But now,” a hurt, bewildered look came into his eyes, “she’s gone, in and I can't find her. I can’t find her, though I come every day to this luring water-music, uy But I don’t really worry—though I miss her. For I know if I am careful and always come, one day I'll find her sitting here, as she said she would be. I must be faithful and come, then when I find her, how happy we'll be!

The streets were filled with merry groups walking home in the fast falling snow. ‘ Conversation seemed to have lagged in one of the merriest groups. Every- pe had been discussed from the senior prom to “that terrible exam in Virgil.” eee a ee ane Seats else to talk about, there was a brief silence. Harry ieee ee ee eae patria taced lad or seventeen, brought every one back to ae pany a: y the way, Bertram is coming home for the holidays at the end of OR, do you mean Bert Wesley, who graduated last year?” a fair damsel, with large sieustis eyes and rosy cheeks, called Sylvia Marsh, wanted to know. 3 “Yep. Same old Bert. His little brother told me.” “Guess well have to invite him to onr club’s dance,” Paul West, a serious member of the group, who wore shell rimmed glasses, contributed. “Of course!” a chorus of voices assented. The girls and boys continued their discussion of Bertram Wesley and the dance to be given by the “Regular Fellows,” on the way home. On Friday, the hero of the hour, Bertram Wesley, or to be exact, Bertram Sherman Wesley, arrived. He was a tall, rather handsome fellow of eighteen. No one would recognize the “Bert” Wesley of a year ago, in this good looking chap who wore a large fur overcoat, Oxford bags, patent leather Oxfords and a grey Stetson. The next day Bertram had the good fortune to encounter Sylvia Marsh on the street. How lovely she had become! She was positively beautiful! After a few preliminary re- marks, she asked him how he was progressing at college. “Fine,” he said, “at present my average is between 85 and 90 per cent.” “How splendid!” exclaimed Sylvia, her lovely eyes sparkling joyously, “I hope that T'll do as well next year. I’m so glad that you are bringing honor to our school.” The same evening several of the “Regular Fellows” went to Wesley's house to invite him to their dance. “We've heard how smart you are in college, Bert,” Paul West said. “Sylvia Marsh told my sister; she told me, and I made it known to the gang.” Bert acknowledged this with a smile. The conversation soon drifted to athletics. “Did you read the accounts of how we won the championship of the football season ?” Warry asked. “You bet I did. That’s something to he proud of. The freshman team at college is doing fine work too, fellows,” with a sophisticated air. “You should have seen me in the freshman-sophomore game.” After chatting a few minutes longer, the boys left saying, “See you Monday night. Bert. S’ long.” Monday night found Bertram Wesley on his way to the dance with high anticipation of an enjoyable evening. When he arrived. a large number of the guests were already there, The girls were attired in gay colored dresses, and the cold night air had added color to their cheeks, making them look quite charming. The rooms were beautifully decorated with sprays of holly and mistletoe. The spirit of Christmas seemed to be in the air. Mrs. Ashton, the ehaperon grected the neweomer cordially and led him away to be introduced to the girls whom he did not know. Bertram had just finished a most enjoyable waltz with Sylvia—enjoyable because she waltzed so well, and heavenly because she was Sylvia Marsh, Te was escorting her to a seat when she exclaimed: “Oh, Bert, T want you to meet ‘Tom Richards, a friend of my brother's. He has just come.” Consternation was written over Bertram Sherman Wesley's face. Tom Richards! His room-mate! Well, he might as well face it bravely. Perhaps Tom wouldn't disgrace him.

Sylvia was beginning the introduction. “Why, Bert and I know each other,’ Tom interrupted, “don’t we. old man? We're room- mates. We really have fun, too. Bert's the biggest clown on the campus. Say Bertie, remember the time you tried for the team and the coach told you that you knew less T guess you're glad you got ‘D’ in all of your subjects, aren’t about. football than a flea? We came near flunking, didn’t we? The dean says he ex- you, old top?

As it was intermission, everyone saw his discomfiture. When Tom finally stopped, Bert mumbled some kind of an excuse about having to be home early, and left the dance. When he had gone, some of the fellows laughed, others grunted in disgust. Sylvia looked like a hurt child. “To think,” she cried, “that I went around telling everyone how smart he was. Oh, I think it’s terrible!” “Forget it, Sylvia. May I have this dance?” the smiling Tom said. Bertram Wesley walked slowly home through the snow, a hero no longer. What a perfect beast he had been! Sylvia must think him an awful cad. He could see her lovely eyes rebuking him still. Well he’d show them—the mealy-mouthed Tom included! He could study and he would study. Every boast of his would become a reality. Then perhaps Sylvia—oh, what was the use of hoping He would wait and see.

Besides innumerable boxes and trunks there were five healthy Negro slaves. During the entire journey, she had the care of seeing that they were aot pie tie Bak eee vhouen they never saw it, made them terribly as 2 ying Mrs. Calhoun, her two daughters and her excess baggage docked in Glasgow in 1862. One morning a year later, Mrs. Calhoun and her elder daughter Alice, having finished breakfast turned their attention to a bundle of American newspapers, just arrived. “Oh, Alice, read this!” exclaimed Mrs. Calhoun, and then turning to the stout, dark- skinned girl, who had begun to move away the breakfast dishes, “Emmy, you may leave the room.” “Yessum,” replied the girl, and disappeared through the heavy curtains at the door. “Oh, Alice!” gasped Mrs. Calhoun, showing The Courier across the table to her, “can you imagine? That long-legged idiot, Abe Lincoln, has emancipated all the niggers in America! We didn't leave a minute too soon. Just imagine, after draining our purses into the Civil War, then having all our slaves taken from us! Why, Alice, it’s scandalous!” “And, mother,” whispered Alice warningly, “we've got to keep all this from our niggers or else they'll walk off on us or demand wages. Either will be ruin for us you know.” And so the freedom of the Negroes in America was kept a secret from Mrs. Calhoun’s slaves. To them Mrs. Calhoun regarded all knowledge and learning as a vial of poison medicine, A little is harmless; too much is fatal. That was why Mrs. Calhoun allowed all her slaves a taste of learning. Just enough reading and writing and grammar for her convenience. Of course she encouraged them to excel in domestic work, but she fixed a limit to everything which tended to create in them a desire to know, understand or reason out those things which make men educated. When Mrs. Calhoun’s grand-daughter, Alice, took her first trip to America a few years after the World War, she brought Amanda, Emmy's grand-daughter, with her as maid. It required heated arguments with the aged Mrs. Calhoun, for Alice to persuade her grandmother to allow Amanda to accompany her. “I know you never will take the pains to keep Amanda from mixing with those high-toned niggers over there. I just feel in my bones something will happen to disturb the peace and quiet I’ve maintained over my niggers for nearly sixty years.” Such was the argument of Mrs. Calhoun. And so, after Amanda had arrived in New York, she was forbidden to leave her room, and was told she must have nothing to do with the colored people she saw. They were, “wild, ran about half-naked, and jabbered like parrots.” “Once in a while we see one dressed up like white people who tries to talk like us,” explained Alice, making allowance for the few they were bound to meet, “but they are bad people. I don't ever want to see you speaking to one of them.” One afternoon, when Alice had gone down to dinner, Amanda was startled by a knock at her door. No one had ever knocked on her door before. She timidly opened the door and gave a little ery as she jumped back. There in the door stood a brown girl like herself, She had on a blue suit “jus’ like Miss Alice,” and hat, shoes and gloyes also, “Good afternoon,” smiled the girl. “My name is Helen Taylor. You must pardon me for being forward, but I thought maybe you'd like to go out with me this afternoon. I'm off till s’x. I haven't seen you go out during the two weeks you've been here so I thought maybe you were a stranger and a little timid about our big city.” Manda stared at the girl and was quite undecided as to what to say, blurted out, “Oh—gee! you talk jus’ like Miss Alice, and even got on a dress and hat 3 You must be one of them bad ones what personates white Finally she jus’ like she bought yesterday. 4 : y nat folks.

Amanda moved a bit closer “A little bit unbalanced, I guess, surmised Miss Taylor. and touched the sleeve of Miss Taylor’s coat. “T don’t believe you're bad are you?” : “nN, � yeplied Miss Taylor, “I hope not. .

Hey, you better skit, here comes Miss Alice. “Will she object to me being here?” questioned Miss Taylor. “Ya, she told me to keep away from all you niggers.” “phen, good afternoon,” was the stiff reply of Miss Taylor. ; While she waited for the elevator her thoughts ran riot. Although Amanda's last remark was a stinging one, somehow she sympathized with the girl. poctore she slept that night, she concluded that there was some mystery about the girl, and resolved to find out what it was. - After the door closed on Helen Taylor, Manda stood before her mirror and scanned herself from head to toe. What was there that differed so between Helen Taylor and herself? Her clothes were neat, her hair was brushed and combed as neatly as she could, but still there was something. What was it? Amanda, as she laid out Alice’s costume for the evening, moved towards the wide bay-windows, forgetful of the fact that this was forbidden to her. Oh! the sights below! Wight stories beneath her flowed a steady stream of throbbing humanity. This stream continued in all directions as far as she could see. She thought she recognized Helen Taylor’s white hat in the crowd below, but there were so many white hats. “Manda, Manda, didn’t I tell you not to go to those windows?” came the shrill voice of Miss Alice. “Go to your room at once, you good-for-nothing wretch!” Manda ran into her room, and heard the click of the key in the door. An eager desire clutched Amanda that night as she lay waiting for sleep to come, to get out into the street and mingle with the wonderful things she had seen from the window. What was “an afternoon off’? She would ask Miss Alice the next day. But the next day, Miss Alice did not give her a chance to ask a question. When Miss Alice left the hotel, Manda locked herself in her room. The desire to go out grew stronger in Manda, and she was determined at any cost to go out with Miss Taylor, the next time she came. But Helen Taylor did not come. She did not come that day nor the next. One afternoon Miss Taylor had a few minutes off, which she decided to spend with Amanda. Luckily, Miss Alice had forgotten to lock the side door to the servant's room, which led into a side corridor, so when Miss Taylor knocked, Amanda rushed eagerly to the door and threw it open. “Good morning, how are you?” cheerily inquired Miss Taylor. “Well, thank you! Say I’m going out there today. Wait ‘ll I get my hat and I'll be ready,” ran on Amanda, “Where honey? Oh! You mean out in the street,” comprehended Miss Taylor. “Sorry, dear, I can’t go today. You see I just ran over here as I came up from dinner. We'll go tomorrow afternoon, how’s that?” It seemed as if the next day would never come to Amanda. When it did come, Miss ‘Alice had a headache and was. confined to her room, Amanda waited at her door for Miss Taylor so that she would not have to knock. From the expression on her face, Miss Taylor plainly saw that something was wrong. No wonder poor Amanda mixed directions and dropped things that afternoon. D!s- appointments aren’t digested so easily. But the next day Miss Taylor and Amanda got an early start and many things happened whieh precipitated an abrupt ending to this modern slavery, in which Amanda played a leading part. One was Amanda’s recital of her life history as far back as she ea paar aes Another was the fact that Amanda was awakened to the injustice Before she slept that night, she realized that Miss Alice had not told her the truth But, my dear, you must judge for your- oF | eal Pil oh oi oi oi Pil Ea ea Fl of Ea Ea Pi i a oT oi Fl oi a Ea] Gi oi Ea i oi oi oi oi of ea a oh a oh by i fi el ea oi a 4 tA ba Ea Ea] | us HSS REA A SS SS SS a SL SSL I ICs ts Ug UU UU UU USES AU An A a At tn OR UU Ge Reeth SSS RRR URE nak eS eta ee erent ‘matte she had seen that day remained in their gist. eltnceienien ae aaa ae nor were any of the numerous colored people she na Aoi tek ates ee houen Amanda saw the untruth of what Miss Alice aes s azed with the hustle and bustle of New York City. Fifth Avenue—its lights and shops! Lenox Avenue—its multitudes of colored people! Then Amanda flew back to Scotland and told Uncle Joe all about the sights she had seen and about Miss Taylor. “Manda, Manda!” came the drowsy voice of Miss Alice, “are you lying on your back? I can’t sleep with you snoring like that.” “Yessum,” replied Amanda. A few days later, she and Miss Taylor visited a large building. When they got on an eleyator, Amanda could not keep in a frightened little shriek, much to the amuse- ment of the elevator boy. Needless to say, Amanda was the first one out. They were ushered through a large room where everything was quiet except the typewriters, and into a smaller room with “private” marked on the door. Here they talked to a jovial stout man who wore large shell-rimmed goggles. He asked Amanda many questions and wrote down her answers to some of them. “How would you like to live with Miss Taylor here; go out whenever and wherever you like?” asked the gentleman, “in short, just enjoy life in the fullest, Miss er-er-what is your last name?” “Manda, Sir.” “Manda what, honey?” supplied Miss Taylor. “Just Manda; that’s all.” “And make money all of your own every month, and haye an afternoon off, too? continued the gentleman, “Everything's all right but the money part. Don’t want no money. Miss Alice says that money is a jinx on us niggers—I mean collud folks. Is that what you said say Miss Taylor?” “Yes, Amanda, colored folks,” laughed Miss Taylor. “Well,” continued Amanda, “she says its a jinx on ‘em, so I don’t want any money at all” “Now you see you have some job on your hands to try and undo all that twenty-one years has done,” said the stout man as he opened the door for them, “T'm going to try it anyway,” assured Miss Taylor. That same day Alice received a telephone call from an officer of the N. A. A, C. P. “Well, I won't pay her,” stormed Miss Alice. “If you think you can persuade her to go she can go.” “She must have wages and her freedom, if she is to remain with you,” replied the yoice on the other end. His answer was a click, Miss Alice had hung up. She left the telephone in a rage, “Manda, where are you?” she shrieked. “If I ever get my hands on you, you will wish you had kept your mouth shut.” When she reached Amanda's door, some one already had her hands on Amanda. Miss Taylor sat beside her, with her arms around her. . = Sixth months later Amanda sat in the living room of the tiny apartment occupied by her and Miss Taylor. She pored over an American history while Miss Taylor embroidered, “How much does it cost to go to Scotland?” suddenly asked Amanda. Are you thinking of going back?” teased Miss Taylor. You see, there are Uncle Joe and ” “Why I haven’t the least idea. “Yes, really, I am thinking about going back. : ‘ Pmmoline and the rest of them back there.

Organized in 1904, as the Emerson Club, it proved to be so successful that the following year, it was established as a permanent organization of the high school under the name of Fleur-De-Lis. The purpose of the club is three fold, having social, literary, and school service objectives. With the election of Ethel Dasley as president ; Miriam Hutchins, vice-president ; Fannie Pitt, secretary and Rosa Montgomery, treasurer, the Fleur-De-Lis of this year began its brilliant career under the excellent leadership of Miss Julia Brooks, Dean of Girls. As heads of the six different circles into which the club is divided, Mabel Shippen was elected chairman of the Social Circle; Bernice Swann, of the Out of Door Circle; Florida Pitt, of the Home Circle; Selena Taylor, of the Musie Circle, and Maude Dayis, of the Dramatic Circle. With “Service” as their watchword, the Fleur-De-Lis girls of this year, proved them- selves to be worthy of the standards they proclaim. In order to impress yery clearly upon the girls the real meaning and value of education, the club held a highly instructive meeting during Better Education Week. Different members spoke on various phases of education. That they might teach the entering Freshman girls about the different rules and laws of Dunbar, the Fleur-De-Lis girls held a lovely “Get-Acquainted Party” for the February entrants. One of the chief events of the party was the various talks given by members of the Club on different phases of Dunbar life. Desiring to make others happy during the Yuletide season, the Fleur-De-Lis girls con- tributed handsomely to several opportunities and charitable institutions. According to the custom of the club, the girls entertained all the home-coming ex- graduates at one of the most beautiful affairs of the Christmas season.

Election into the Honor Society is based on four cardinal principles: Character, Leader- ship, and Service. The members must, first, prove themselves to have strong and depend- able characters; second, they must exhibit the power of good leadership; third, they must have a scholastic record of fifteen per cent “Excellents” in all subjects pursued, sixty per cent of the remainder “Goods.” and having no deficiencies; and last, they must be willing and ready to serve. The Honor Society of 1125-1926, began its real life with the induction of the new mem- bers in October. 1925. After the new members underwent the mystic ceremony of initiation, they were then termed full-fledged Honor members. At the first formal meeting of the society, it elected as its officers for the year, Miriam Hutchins, president; Ethel Harvey, vice-president, and Fannie Pitt, secretary, The society is under the excellent leadership of Mrs. Haines, a member of the faculty. The society's chief endeavor for the year was to establish the Student Aid Fund, a fund by which needy students could be given financial aid, To attain this end, the sful Rummage Sale, during two days of the Easter Holiday: RRS aa a A A SASS ES SSS Ra eee UU At AM AU Au aS UW RUuRA society held a highly succe fa On March 31, 1926, the society held the induction of the second set of members.

We become unmindful of the fact that our actions of 0 gs s today are the basis of our characters of to-morrow. It is the duty of each member of the Student Council to remind the pupils of these facts when they seem to forget them, In cases where advising the pupil has not the desired effect, the matter is brought bustle before the council and other means are used. Through a series of talks by members of this organization and representatives from the student body, the Student Council brought before the school some very valuable advice concerning the formation of character. These talks were presented each day at the noon assemblies. We feel that they were of benefit to the students. In order to improve the appearance of various parts of the school, committees were appointed to look after the armory, the assembly hall, the lunch room, the loeker rooms, the corridors, and the grounds. Through the diligent work of the members of these committees a decided improvement has taken place. We realize that our efforts would have been useless if it had not been for the co-operation received from the student body. We are very proud of the fact that they have aided so readily in carrying out our plans. The benefits effected by the Student Council this year have been greater than those obtained for several years previously. Yet, we are not satisfied. We intend to do more in the future for the betterment of our school so as to make it one of which we can feel truly proud.

Since the appearance of the first issue, October 28, 1925, this year's staff has gotten out sixteen issues. It was its endeavor that each succeeding issue be an improye- ment over the preyious one; and indeed, its determination was well carried out. The Dunbar Observer has made great improvement in the matter of appearance and content, The Observer was entered as second-class matter, October 25, 1925, at the post office in Washington, D.C., under the act of March 3, 1879. Randall Eyans and Mollie Brooks, accompanied by Miss. 8. I.

Under the skillful guidance and tutorship of Miss Mary P. Burrill, the finessee of their productions and the artistry of their act- ing have brought well-deserved applause and laureate wreaths to the guild. During the Yuletide season of 1925, the Players’ Guild presented a one-act play, “The Birds’ Christmas Carol.” The players interpreted the characters of the play perfectly. One can never forget the splendid acting of Maude Davis as Mrs, Ruggles, nor the equally splendid acting of Clara Browne, Jesse Rollins, Frederick Phillips. Klotha Spriggs, Bernice Swann, James Butcher, Bernice Early and Melvin Barker. This year the Players’ Guild is planning to present as its Spring Play, “The Bonds of Interest,” by Jacinto Benavente. It is a comedy in three acts, the scenes of which are laid in an imaginary town in Spain. The cast includes Jesse Rollins, Frederick Phillips, Lunette Logan, Ruth Matthews, Elsie Miller, Roy Sorrell, Juanita Williams, James Butcher, Lawrence Edelin, Elaine Washington, Waddell Thomas, Mabel Wyche, and Roy T. Greenwood. This play is very colorful and interesting. If the actors and actresses continue as well as they haye begun, the Players’ Guild will undoubtedly give a very creditable performance. Those members of the Players’ Guild who are leaving Dunbar in June of 1926 will never forget the wonderful inspiration and benefit that have been derived from their dramatic instruction. Good luck to those that we leave behind us in the capable hands of Miss Burrill, to Whom we owe so much.

So popular has the Spanish Club proved to be that the membership has increased from forty-five to ninety-five. Great credit is due the program committee for the unique programs it has presented. A recent program made up of recitations, dialogues, games, and solos, is especially deserving of mention. Prizes of fruit were awarded the lucky win- ners of the games. Perhaps this new departure in program arrangement is largely re- sponsible for the impetus given the Spanish Club.

With a membership of sixty pupils, and under the inspirational leadership of capable officers, prac- : tically all programs undertaken have proved successful. [eorss The Debating Club has several important aims. It seeks to encourage inter- scholastic debating, to foster public speaking, declamation, and oral composition of every description. The primary aim is to encourage quick and accurate reasoning in the form of extemporaneous and impromptu speech. The program for the year consisted of several interclass debates. First the sophomores Won the debate from the freshmen on the subject: “Resolved, That the States should limit the right of suffrage to persons who can read and write.” Next the seniors won their debate from the juniors en the subject: “Resolved, That the present immigration re- strictions are conducive to the best interests of the United States.” The final debate was arranged between the winners of these two debates. The sophomores won from the Seniors with the affirmative side of the question, “Resolved, That the United States should recognize Soviet Russia.’ This debate carried with it a faculty trophy for the winning team, and an individual trophy for the pupil siving the best individual debate. Miss M. Edna Burke won the individual trophy, We are hoping to close the season with at least one inter-scholastie debate. This, however, has not heen definitely arranged. The tentative debates are with Armstrong Wish School and with the freshmen of Howard University. We, as a club, extend our collective thanks to all who have assisted us during the past year: to the members of the faculty for the beautiful trophy donated, and to Monsieur Lochard tor the individual trophy.

The Greek alphabet is the first essential to analytic geometry.” So, this is the Analytic Geometry Class, and we are informed that in years agone, many high school students gave a sigh of relief as they completed the compulsory elementary algebra. A Small number, however, had the courage to enroll for plain and Solid geometry. The classes grew smaller, until the few remaining who “stood by” for trigonometry, were stared at in amazement; for, there was an old saying to the effect that mathematies was the most dreaded Subject in the high school curriculum. But here at Dunbar, that Saying, like a lot of other sayings, has gone out of fashion. Perhaps the inspiration given to the students by the teacher, Mr. Jackson, is largely responsible for the existence of the class; the members of which are the following: Wilhelmina Bullock, William Black, Alice tighmie, George Carter, Marion Ferrebee, Edward Carroll, Majorie Gray, Hannah Nash, Eugene Dickerson, Mildred Vaughn, Howard Fitzhugh, Alease Woods, Alvin Mayo, and Granvil Wnodson.

Dunbar’s machine was somewhat slow in getting into form be- cause of the inexperienced men that were out to represent the “Red and Black.” Dunbar was defeated at Baltimore by the Douglass High warriors, 13-0. This was a bitter pill for Dunbar, as she had defeated Douglass for twenty-one consecutive years. Another upset occurred when Dunbar was defeated 7-0 at the hands of the “Fighting Booker” team at Norfolk in the last two minutes of play. The fighting sons of Dunbar battled to a 0-0 score with Huntington of Newport News, Va.; to a 7-7 tie with the Manassas eleven; and downed her ancient rival, Armstrong, by a score of 13-0. The playing of West and Burton at half back; George at full back; “Shorty” Carter at quarter; L., Johnson and W. Underdown, guards; Fowler and Hill, ends, and M. Wright at tackle, were the outstanding features in every game. The line-up throughout the season was as follows: Left end _-M. Fowler Right tackle --J. Williams Left tackle -- --M. Wright Right end --------------------- O. Hill Left guard -- _--W. Underdown Left half back -R. Burton (capt.) Center —----- _-S. Shelton Quarter back ---------------- T. Carter _L.

Among them were several 1s from the previous season, along with a few players of note who had formerly played with elub teams. The outlook was exceedingly bright, and there was prospect of a banner season. By the end of the Christmas holidays, D ) the squad had been reduced considerably, and the boys were working in earnest. Perkins succeeded in building up a strong defensive team, but the team was rather ,. veteran Coach weak on the offensive. In January, the team met and defeated Miner Normal at Miner Normal; the following Friday Dunbar defeated Douglass High in the new Douglass High School gym, in Balti- more. After several victories, she met a couple of defeats. At this time several valuable players were lost to the team because of scholastic difficulties. After this the team completed the season with the rather mediocre record of ten victories in nineteen starts. During the entire season the brilliant work of Day and Franklin was outstanding. The shooting and passing of these two court wizards was the redeeming feature of a number of games. Captain Gibson, Underdown, Hill and Cawthorne also did much stellar playing throughout the season, and during the latter part of the season Williams and Henry re- turned and played very well. With one season behind us we are looking forward to the next season in which we expect to reap the reward of serious, enthusiastic work.

Though it consisted of but a few boys, the team finished the season holding six records. Those comprising the team were: captain, Nathaniel George, holder of the yard scholastic champion of America; Joseph Miller, half-mile scholastic champion of America; Raymond Burton, Henry Liggons and Alphonso Robinson. The team of 192G won the annual cross-country run between Dunbar and Armstrong, and won third team honors in a marathon in Baltimore against strong competition con- sisting of the most prominent colored colleges, clubs, high and prep schools of America. The team is scheduled to compete in the Howard, Hampton, Baltimore, and P.S.A.L. meets. Twenty-five names make up the roll. The most promising are captain Harry Landers, Mackall Tyler, Hugh Doram, Joseph Drew, Frederick Duhaney, Alfred Scott, Garland Brown and Milton Larry.

In fact, we were not organized until this, our senlor year. Our school is in its infancy, and has just recently been able to classify its students and to reward their hours of sacrificial labor with a diploma. Many of us recall those tragic times when the night school closed often as early as | February because there was no appropriation, and when Exo and three grades of English were taught in the same room because of the lack of instructors. The night school. however, has been growing steadily, a development which has been due largely to the efforts of our first principal, Mr. G. David Houston. During the last two years, the school has flourished under the administration of Mr. Clarence O. Lewis. Although our class was late in organizing, it possesses a spirit that has not been ex- celled by any group in Dunbar. This spirit of school loyalty is due to the fact that we have been associated for the past four years in the same English classes under a teacher 10 has inspired us with high ideals and ambition, and who has created in us a love for Moreover, through her guidance, the desire has been instilled in us to ERY LITTLE IS KNOWN wil class and school. make the night school comparable in every way to the day school. The members of the class of 1925 took the lirst step in this direction, when, under the sponsorship of Miss Mustapha, they inaugurated the first senior class night, held a senior prom, took a share in the year book, and bought class rings similar to those of the day school seniors. In keeping with this tradition, our class this year, in order to foster a more friendly spirit among the student body, sponsored three socials and took charge of one assembly. Furthermore, our class has established as a permanent night school song, the lyric com posed by Albert Burgess, ’25, In leaving Dunbar. we of the class of 1926, feel a keen regret for the pleasant hours Spent in work and play, but we carry with us a strong determination to succeed, so that even if we are denied brilliant careers, we shall, nevertheless, at least accomplish some- thing worth while.

A sketeh will be given of the more recent graduates fi e whose records are of a nature to make Dunbar proud. u MA Amherst College is the first on the list; there, many of Dunbar’s graduates haye con- at et tinued their education. One of the most prominent is Dr. Charles Houston who havin g i graduated from Amherst several years ago entered Harvard Law SLAF Mr. Houston uA won a scholarship from Harvard which afforded him a SEE s study in Spain. He is now a a promising lawyer. Last year’s graduates were three in number, Montague Cobb, whose Fol eflicieney as a track man is well known; William Hastie, an honor student during his four years there, and Mercer Cook. The latter won the Simpson Scholarship of $1,500 for a year’s study abroad. Mr. Cook is now at the Sorbonne continuing his education. In the present senior class we have Charles Drew who won the Ashley Memorial Medal last year. This medal is given every year to the most valuable member of the football squad. Dunbar is represented at Amherst in all four classes. Thurman Dodson, also a senior, is a member of the Amherst debating team. In the junior class we have Chauncey Larry; in the sophomore, Clarence White, who is also making an exceptional record. In the freshman class are three of our honor students, David Utz, Harold Lewis and George Williams. At Atlanta University, Wenonah Bond has received splendid ratings during her two years there. Miss Bond graduated from Dunbar in 1924. At Bowdoin College. we have Lincoln Johnson who will graduate from there this year. Francis Gregory is now attending the Case Scheol of Applied Science. His ratings are of an unusually high standard; in short, Mr. Gregory is making a record worthy of a Dunbar graduate. At Colgate another Dunbar graduate upholds the name of his Alma Mater. He is Henry S. Robinson, a senior at Colgate this year, who is majoring in chemistry. Dartmouth College, as Amherst, has received many of our former students. In the junior class we have Peter Johnson and Lowell Wormley majoring in zoology. In the sophomore class we have Howard Payne, and in the freshman class, John Payne and Lenior Cook. The latter is the first colored fellow to be admitted in the Dartmouth glee elub, Mr. Cook, we remember, possesses a remarkable voice, Two graduates of Dunbar are at Hamilton College, Joseph Jenkins, now a sophomore, and Morteza Sprague, a freshman, Mr. Jenkins was recorded as one of the fifteen men of his class who received an average of 85.90. At Harvard University, Dunbar is represented by four: Mortimer Weaver, in the graduate school; Joseph Carpenter and Charles K. Goines, juniors; Robert Weaver, a freshman. Mr. Goines has attained “Distinction’ in his general studies; and in goyern- ment, his field of concentration, “High Distinction” was awarded him. It will be re- called that Robert Weaver was one of our honor students last year, winning the first prize in the oratorical contest, and that Mortimer Weaver while at Williams distinguished himself as a debater. 7 Returning to our own city, we find not a small number of our alumni at Howard Uni- versity, and all of them are doing well, too.

Miss Hawki ns is majoring in Latin and is maintaining her good record. At Wesleyan University we are represented by Ellis Kendall, a prominent figure in athletics there as he was at Dunbar in 1924, 4 Wilberforce has received some of our former students, too; Mae Dobson, a freshman there, and Theodore Thompson. Another college currying Dunbar graduates on its rolls is Williams. Ralph Wright and Bruce Robinson are sophomores there; both of them are making exceptional records, haying won minor scholarships for their high marks last year, In the freshman class we have James Henry, another brilliant student of his class at Dunbar last year, and no less a student at Williams—but then we expect that each boy or girl who goes forth from Dunbar will maintain and increase his good record—thus bringing honor to himself as +; namely, Peter J. Hall, majoring Gibson was well as his Alma Mater. ’ At Bates College, we have a representative whose fame is of much significance. He is John P. Davis, who will graduate from Bates this year. Mr. Davis entered Bates at the age of seventeen, and his record is remarkable. In his freshman year he won the fresh- man declamation prize, was captain of the freshman debating team as well as a member of the Debating Council, and associate editor of the “Bates Student.” Last year Mr. Davis was chosen as one of the debaters to represent Bates College in an international debating tour. : py Word has just come to us of a prize recently won by Francis Syphax an alumnus of Dunbar.

Mr. Peters won the Underwood gold button insignia of the Order of Accurate Typists; the Remington gold pin and a Remington Standard Typewriter; the Royal gold pin and the Woodstock gold jeweled pin. The medal won last year from the Underwood Company was 20-K white gold, platinum- plate, with alternatin; diamonds and emeralds and crown set. Mr. J. H. Ward, assistant manager of the Washington office of the Underwood Typewriter Company presented the award, stating that Mr. Peters was the first student and the only person in the District of Columbia ever to win it. Greater honors awaited this young man, though, for in the contest held last October he took first honors in the World Amateur typewriting contest with a speed of 119 words per minute and only 20 mistakes in the half hour of writing. Following this, Mr. Peters was made expert demonstrator for the Underwood Company at an initial salary of twenty-one hundred dollars per year. This more permanent emolu- ment was preceded by an award of one hundred dollars from this company. Mr. J. C. Wright, one of our teachers in typewriting at Dunbar, is to be given credit for discovering and training the latent typing ability of Mr. Peters. Mr, Wright has been awarded a corresponding Underwood teacher's diamond medal emblem.

There were three mail deliveries each day, and in each section manga fe mail box was placed for the convenience of the carriers. The mail was dis- tributed in the various sections in the morning and at dismissal. The Post Office is one of the bright spots of the year to every Dunbar student and is always supported with enthusiasm. This year was no exception to the rule, and the Christmas Post Office met with a success which will insure its future enjoyment by the students of Dunbar. The Post Office was sponsored by Miss Europe and Mr. Cowan. Lieutenant Roy F. Greenwood was the Postmaster General. National Negro History Week at Dunbar Mr. W. N.

We stood the taunts and criticisms that were showered upon us by the experienced upper-classmen. Nothing daunted, never discouraged, we haye steadily worked and climbed the ladder of success, not only along lines of study, but in the other various activities of our little school world. Our class won distinction in its second year for its business ability, shown by raising more money than any of the other classes for the athletic association luncheon. Now that we have reached our junior year, we are striving for even greater things than we have done in the past. In the early part of the year a meeting of the class was held at which time the officers were elected. The results of the election were as follows: Louise Fisher, presi- dent; Harry Landers, vice-president; Vivian Jenkins. secretary; Carl Beckwith, treas- urer; Lenora Yates, news reporter, and Alesine Tanner, sergeant-at-arms. The members of the class who were successful in winning a place on the Junior debating team were, Clara Browne, Grace Ridgley and Parks. It would be only fair to say that the Junior Class has the largest representation on the General Honor Roll, numbering fifteen students. We are loyal Dunbar sons and daughters. We greatly appreciate the opportunities our school offers us and we are striv- ing in every way, to make Dunbar proud of us.

No one brain, however ingenious, could have sketched the final plan; no one life could have provided the experience necessary for an exact understanding of what was required; no single eye, however far-seeing, could have foreseen all that was requisite in the construction of such a law. Not Wash- ington with all his wisdom, nor Franklin with all his vast learning, nor Hamilton with all his genius could have victorously attempted the task alone, But this group with their followers in the greatness and strength of their combined wisdom sought to bring the nation closer together under the protection of an ever-binding constitu- tion. They were the ones who saw the con- dition of the times; they were the ones who bore the burdens which weighed heavily upon the nation; they were the ones who longed for a more perfect union. As their arguments pursued, the national idea and sentiment prevailed, and, “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union,” became the opening words of the preamble. “We the people.” Can there be a more significant phrase? Ladies and gentlemen, we, the people of today, can we fail to carry out the work which rests upon us? Can we fail to help maintain a perfect union? No! When Imperfection and its followers creep jn and break down this nation, when con- ditions become such that eonfusion pre- vails, then comes the remedy provided by the fathers and laid down in the funda- al law—the right of the people to a- ment: mend. Is this not an assurance of a more perfect union? In making the union perfect, the fathers the powers of the three and likewise restraints They sought not confu- placed checks upon great departments, upon the people. UR URURURURURURURLR RRA noe UeUeLeUeue| SSSI I Seo a Se RRR URL sion, but aimed at strength, stability and endurance. Their document was one which was to bind, and not a law subject to re- peal. The Constitution of the United States is a masterpiece which is not marred or weak- ened with regulations, definitions and de- tails. Though it has been moulded since its birth by the people of this nation, yet has it retained its original form, yet has it been valued at its original price, yet has it adhered to its original aim, to form a more perfect union! Long may it stand as a fortress of prin- ciples—principles upon which are based the actions of this great government. Long may it remain steady and sublime, unshaken by any discord which may arise under it. It is the guiding star of our great nation lead- ing us ever on to the goal of a perfect union. Could the fathers but see the progress of this nation; could they but feel the im- port of that phrase which they so nobly placed in our Constitution; could they but see that small union of yesterday in its greatness of today. In making the union perfect the framers did their part. This nation has since passed through the passions of a great Civil War, in which those who fought, did their part. We, the generation of today can relate the story of the great World War in which the young sons of America did their part. Ladies and gentlemen, we who did not fight, we who heard not the blasts of war, how can we perfect the union? Begin in the home. Here is the starting point of the child. It is from here that he _ must pursue his course as a real true Amer- jean, as one who must help build the pillars upon which must rest a perfect union. In- still within the child his duty to love his country, abide by its laws, respect its flag, the lofty and noble things for which it stands. Carry the lesson through the schools; establish within him the rules of good citi- zenship, and interpret for him the Constitu- tion that this growing generation may aid in forming a more perfect union.
