And, speaking of dances—it makes our blood boil when we have to plead, coax, beg, in- trigue, threaten and what-not to get members of our own faculty to act as chaperones, When they finally consent, they give us instructions to dance as closely as we please, even to entwine our arms about our partners’ necks; but we dismiss that privilege, unanimously. Dance eighteen inches apart or not at all! That’s what we say. But sad to say, the faculty try to change our scruples. If one of them happens to see a couple of us on the floor primly dancing eighteen inches apart, she sails across the floor, taps one of us on the shoulder, and smiles. We know what that smile means—so there we are. Then, too, the entire student body can’t see why these abominable, insistent chaperones demand that we do that yulgar, noisy dance called the “Collegiate.” How we hate it! Imagine dancing anything except a light and airy waltz or a two-step at, or— well, maybe a little closer than eighteen inches from one’s partner! Absurd! we say. We won’t do it! Down with dancing anyway! ... But alas! What are we to do? These people make us do so many things that are contrary to our desires. Can you picture the Dunbar armory in an uproar at lunch times? No! Of course not! Can you faney needing teachers stationed there to keep us quiet, or to suggest that we put our refuse in the large receptacles? Oh, no! I have heard of boys yelling across other armories at each other, and have seen them haying a grand chase, eyen knocking people over, but that sort of thing never occurs in our armory. We feel it wonld be a disgrace to any of our students, especially to juniors and seniors to be standing in noisily laughing groups about the armory. Nor do we cherish such things as trysting places or favorite corners for tete-a-tetes. A student at Dunbar has no time for that. When an outsider enters the armory, his first wonder must be whether he has mistakenly entered a tomb—there is so much quiet and solemnity. So frequent haye been the comments of visitors on the quiet and order of our armory, that, now, as each stranger enters there, we expect him to say Something like this :— “What a quiet, orderly, CLEAN place is your armory! I am delighted.” And some day—when we of the Class of '27 shall have joined the Almighty Alumni— feeling the need of a quiet, solemn spot where we can think undistractedly, we shall instinctively yearn with sweet pangs of remembrance for the beloyed solitude of the Dunbar Armory, GLADYS Parker Dee Si 3 a 5 fd el a aa a aa a ol a ua a oh 4 aa Ly if 4 Ey i ea 4 eal ci 4 i oi i eal Lin a La a fl oi oF oi oh ui a oi a fi i Fo] eR RRR aa a Se a uRURURUALA Lat GU SSCA UU SU UR RU Up Sri rie Sa Sri rh Se SS rise Aeron Soon or ROR TOON TE ToT To oT TooToo coo eNO oT N en [O-7 Pata ed (UU a ee eta uO tu Ta tte ea eee nap ite pep aL pea] FF ALAA ARRAS ] The Class Will N MAY 4th, 1927, a master physician, aided by well-known consultants, held a long and serious consultation on the illness of Twenty-seven, and pronounced her doom; moreover, they even predicted the exact date of her demise. It seems that in September, 1926, Twenty-seven was in exceedingly good spirits; no flaw could then be discerned in her health, which was the result of three years of care. She strutted about, and even snubbed her younger sisters, Twenty-seven's sisters said that they saw no apparent change in her manner from day to day, until about the latter part of April. Then, they said, she began to grow weak, until suddenly, as I have Said before, the master physician and his colleagues—after carefully diagnosing her illness—presented the unanimous decision that Twenty-seven must die on June 22, 1927. The shock of this news was so great that Twenty-seven became much more weakened. Oh, What a shock! Only 50 days, 1,200 hours, 72,000 minutes, 4,320,000 seconds! Why 4,820,000 seconds is quite a long time I am sure, but how seconds do fly, and what a lot to do. The most important thing to do was the drawing up of her will. was consulted, and it was decided that her will be immediately drawn w Quite the most serious business I have ever had I am sure, for upon me the above announcement had caused so much commotion with her nerves that it was with great difficulty that I could hear her—her yoice was so faint.

We suggest that the said rites be held in the place where some of our high school spirits will soon roam. Second, to our rightful heirs, the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, we bequeath :— 1. To the freshmen, whose facial expressions are blank, depicting ignorance sub- i i ig rldly-wise visages, lime, our most intelligent and worldly-wise v 2, To the sophomores, whose lack of a sensible vocabulary we pity, all of our most illiant, eloquent, and witty sayings. _ - 3. To the juniors, whose abnormal lack of every-day knowledge distresses us, many interesting and instructive lectures on the art of wool-gathering. (Treen SRLS SREARENRA ut Fn SUR LL ES = YC] lal Third, to our most deserving instructors, we leave the pleasant task of successfully turning another class out of Dunbar. Fourth, to Mr, Smith, our honorable principal, and to Miss Brooks and Mr. Saunders, we leave the miscellaneous pieces of lumber about the school, to lengthen their cutter’s benches. In years that have long faded into the past, there was only one cutter’s bench, but this year there were three. We are hoping that there will be no need of another such bench; nevertheless, we are taking due precautions in case such a need develops. Fifth, to our successors, the present juniors, are left many things of various degrees of importance :-— 1. We bequeath our much coveted privileges to break all traffic rules and to cut classes at will. Don't abuse these privileges (we did not). 2. We bequeath our most sophisticated and overbearing manner. 3. We bequeath all the books in our library on punctuation and spelling. (This refers especially to those students in Dr. Dykes’ next English-8 class.) Sixth, and last, we leave to the whole student body, our most valuable and cherished of possessions—the possession with which we are loath to part, even at this late hour— DEAR OLD DUNBAR.

Straight to the land it came with the swiftness of an arrow, while clean-cut waters marked its path in ever-widening ripples. A maiden stood within the boat, and when it reached the shore, she held out her hand to me, and together we sailed away till we came to the rising sun. “Ask not concerning aught you see, although it puzzle you,” she said. Straightway bronze gates opened wide. I saw an altar within these gates; on it gleamed four tall, white candles. The altar was Achievement. The candles stood for Perseverance, Honor, Learning, and Faith. Silvery chimes tinkled in the soft haze through which appeared dim shapes of turrets and domes. I pressed on, eager to find out whence came this strange sight. Gradually, I saw a wonder city gather form. Its streets were shaded by gigantic trees. The houses that lined the streets gleamed with pure white marble, The domes of the buildings shone like gold in the sun. In the center of the city was a park, at which all the streets converged. Here I sat down, in such a position that I might see everything that went on. I saw, sitting on a bench near me, an old man, whom I recognized at once as Talbert Dowling. I jumped to my feet to ask him about this marvelous place, for he looked like the Oldest Inhabitant. In his hand he held a blue print and s directing the construction of a fountain in the middle of the park. Another old gentleman with a beard two feet long stopped to speak to him. Although so much of his face was hidden by his hirsute adornment, I knew him to be Joseph Drew, the archeologist. I spoke to them, but they did not seem to hear me. “Oh,” I thought, “Poor fellows! They are deaf, They ought to go to the hospital I see over there. The sign on it says ‘Dr. Howell Howard, Specialist in Eye, Ear and Throat Diseases.’ ” I was turning away sadly, when, feeling a sharp pain in my foot, I looked down to determine its cause. Why, where was my foot? Where was any of me? I must have become invisible, for I could not see myself, but I knew I was there. What fun! Now TI could go anywhere I liked. I walked up to the lady and gentleman whom I saw approaching. They seemed yaguely familiar. The man, with the light of inspiration beaming from his intellectual countenance, dictated to his companion, whom he addressed as “Marge.” Immediately, I thought of Marjorie Knorl and Billy Syphax, and the stories they used to write during Junch hour. I saw under Billy’s arm a book that he and Marjorie had written. It was Seer epee eae ns oi wh ca =n} a eS eaegt Ue Ei AY SAAS i uF oh Ea a i ASR [RUBBER AAR aS RSE U ARAL AURA i me Li i Sritns called the “Psychopathology of the Theory of Mentempsychosis and Reincarnation as Related to the Neolithic Age.” It was one of the books that I saw later in a display by the Ridgeley-Simon Publishing Company. By its side lay a book of sonnets by Laurence Howard. I decided then to explore the city more thoroughly. Starting down Ferrebee Street, named for Dorothy D., I saw a group of sightseers who had just entered the city. Many friends were meeting after years of separation. I knew that if I listened to their con- yersation I should learn a lot. Therefore, I attached myself to the most loquacious of the group. No, it was not a woman. But listen to what he said. “Why here is Walter English. I hear you have invented a noiseless motor for airplanes, old man. Did you have it made in Vassar Gibson’s factory? Perhaps it would be interesting to note that when I visited Mars last month I saw John Boyd and John Hatchet leading an exploring party. They went there by plane, having started from Lane Field—called after Thelma Lane, the aviatrix—at nine o’clock and were in Mars by eleven. “What do you think—er—what is your opinion of the coming elections? I pre- sume that you know that Harry Landers and Wilder Montgomery are running on opposing tickets. You didn’t? Why that is strange. Ora Gibson went to interview them both, day before yesterday. She said that Beckwith wanted the story to go in the paper right away. Aren't you going to the recital? Where? Why at Harry Smith's new hotel. It’s the Robinson-Beckwith recital, given for the benefit of Elizabeth George's asylum for mad dogs. I thought everyone was cognizant of the fact that Elsie and Olga are to present a joint performance tonight. “Well, have you heard about the case now on trial in Judge Watson’s court? The guilty one has little fear, for he is ably defended by the eminent lawyers, L. T. Sadgwar and W. H. Scott. Whe prosecuting attorney is Phillip Greene. He accuses Melvin Sewell of translating Latin without making a single mistake. “Here comes Frances Cardozo now. She and Vivian Jenkins are quite interested in an orphanage in the Near East. They have donated so much that now they practically own the place. “As soon as the bus comes we are going to visit the Navy Yard to see the new ships launched. Yes, didn’t you know that this is the day Cornelius Beck is to start his radio-controlled steamship line? Creel West is supposed to send us a bus from his agency. Oh, there it is at the corner. That looks like Cheeks over there directing traffic. Now he is letting the cars come through. Are you coming, too? Well, good-bye, then. We're off.” I I got into the car with the others. Up front I saw a dear old lady with snow white hair, A fine looking old man was by her side. They had a little gitl with them wh o looked just like Edith Thomas when she was a little girl. The old lady must have been Edith, for the child called her “Grandma.” I didn’t know the old man, As we rolled through the streets I was quite interested to read the advertisements: “Buy Bush's Bread”; “Anderson's Appetizing Apples’; “E, J. Bass Hardware Com- pany.” When we arrived at the dock, we were greeted by Governor John Douglass. He and the Reyerend Price were the welcoming committee. our visiting Dr. Waters’ sanitarium while we were in the city. After the ceremonies were over, I decided to go to a theater. I chose the Barbour, because the name reminded me vf Irma. I learned later that it was named for her, James Jones had designed it and Clarence Banton had the building contract. Inside, a play was being presented. Ruth Matthews had the leading part, Jeanus Parks rained opposite. The orchestra was conducted by Franklin Brown.

And Oh! the ballet! Edith Wormley led it. Her followers were Juanita Thomas, Grace Eyans, Margaret Chinn, Clara Browne and Alexine Tanner. I haye never since seen people dance as they did. The next day, I thought that I must have stepped back into Washington. Before me stood a building that simply had to be Dunbar High School. The long corridors were lined with works of art. There were no finger prints. The library was large and well stocked. When I went into the gymnasiums, and laboratories, and drawing depart- ment, I found up-to-date equipment. In the language department I saw a little girl ask a venerable old man whether Professor Bailey wouidn’t please help her with her Latin. The kind old man did help her, and then went on to a teachers’ meeting. At that meeting I saw Mollie Brooks, Florinda Douglass, Carl Coleman, Carrie Rucker, Rita Taylor, Frances Bullock, and Birchard Allen. When I visited the rooms, I found Eyeretta Simms teaching mathe- matics; Erma Mulligan, French; Lucius Robinson, rhetoric. Samuel Harris was the principal, and seemed to follow close in the footsteps of Mr. Smith. There was an as- sembly in the afternoon. Among the speakers were: Bishop Eyans, Rey. Kenneth Cole- man, Senator Bruce Smith and Mr. Reginald F. Martin, president of the board of education. After the exercises I went back to the gymnasium. There were Ethel Heywood, Marbelle Steele, and Ethel Houston teaching resisting children how to take physical training. The sight was too much for me, so to recover my gravity, I retreated to the Hall of Fame. Can you imagine my surprise on finding a picture of Bruce Hudnell, the linguist, and Grace Ridgeley, the only woman who understood how electricity could be taken from a potato? And then I saw a gentle white-haired old lady whom everyone greeted with respectful and loving attention. From her conversation I gathered that she was just back from her class reunion at Sargent. I learned, too, that she was the head of the department of physical educatoin of her city. Thus I knew that this was Cath- erine Cardozo. She told Florence Dearing of the drawing department that when she was in Europe she visited one of the finest hospitals in France where Mary Pierce was head nurse; Doctor Ellsworth Parker was the superintendent. I spoke to Cecie Jenkins, who was showing me the building after I had regained my old self. SASS TS SA ST Te ‘Where are the rest of my friends?

The sight of those timid freshmen reminded me of an exceptionally warm day in September when four years ago I was one of a similar group just as wondering, just as frightened. Here and there one of us trying to look like a wolf, at a word from an upper classman would have bleated, inwardly at least, for mother. These “upper classmen,” as we Jearned they were called—some day we too should be so designated—seemed truly su- perior beings whom nothing could frighten. IT am sure this awe for them was not dlecreased—rather that the tall lady who quite casually ordered: “Away from the door, boys and girls,” made us fairly gasp that anyone could treat these personages like children, Then, as she looked kindly and sympathetically at us, we thought I am sure, “Here is a friend.’ This was our first experience with Miss Brooks, our assistant principal. She it was who sent these superior ones to conduct us to our section rooms. Eagerly we listened to the call of names, rejoicing if some special friend fell in the same lot with us, or suffering actual pangs of homesickness when by order we were sent into a strange group. In the rooms, which we soon glibly called “sections,” we were given cards with mystie symbols—“Eng. 1-75, “Fr. 1-66,” all blocked off. The teacher thrilled us when she translated “Eng. 1-75,” as “English I in Room 75”; “Fr. 1-66,” as “French I in Room 66, and similar figures representing Spanish, Latin, History, and many other subjects. Adventure into fascinatingly strange paths these names promised, and at the sounding of the bell, we started. No guide now, and we hesitated to announce our strangeness by asking how to find Room 106, or 69, or 87. One bolder than the rest set out to find the way. The “period” (another new and important sounding term in this FSR ERR RR RRR ieee oR A cnc a SUR RU us EA inchs UB te a a a a es Sree oT SA SRR ae rion Daininiaieiniebpieie ee cs iaialfe new life) was half over when we saw “7” over the door, through the glass of which the teacher saw us and came to bid us welcome. Here we were given the names and authors of books which we were to buy and own. Fine, new grown-up looking books by the armful, and ours! Our parents probably would have been just as satisfied with a borrowed list, but not we. Home for money and to the book stores before dinner! Fine, strange, new books in our arms next day when we appeared—this time with assurance grown over-night—at Dunbar High School. Soon we heard of the “reception” that is always given to the freshmen and thought of our graduation dresses, still new from the past June. Those dresses have long since been worn out and the rumor of a reception to the freshmen of 1923 changed into a gradually dying query, “What happened to our freshman reception?” Everything was special that first year because everything was new. There were those wonderful senior girls called Senior Sponsors who were so very nice to us. They were really big sisters and we were always glad to be near them and ready to take their advice on any subject. There was nothing under the sun, in our opinion, that they did not know. But the biggest thing of all, especially for the girls, was to walk around carrying a key and talking about “my locker.” How grown-up it sounded! How independent we did feel! I do believe, too, that we occasionally dropped our keys on the floor pur- posely, just to have an opportunity to start a conversation on the cherished subject. The boys had lockers, too, but the brilliancy of that novelty was shaded beneath that of the brand new, blue braided suits that they wore. Nowhere was there anything so grand, so attractive, so much to be admired as our cadets. True they were far from perfect in even the rudiments of military drill, but what was that, as long as they could wear a suit and call themselves “cadets of Dunbar High School?’ Anyway, they were only freshmen and still had a long time to learn. Life, however, soon settled down to routine, and one day was much like another until class elections. Feeling the weight of our responsibility as greatly as the older students, we elected Wilder Montgomery, president; Monroe Gregory, vice-president; Nancy Robinson, secretary; William Syphax, treasurer. With our class organized, we felt more like a part of this great school. Then the football season! School spirit had by this time risen high among the members of our class as was evinced by our wild, enthusiastic yells at the Dunbar- Armstrong game as our team—for was not everything at Dunbar ours?—fought hard for the victory. Winners or losers, it was our team and we were determined that STRAUS a er eT uF they should know that we considered them such. And we did, Christmas came, bringing with it the Christmas Post Office, something entirely a new to us. We were just beginning to believe that high school was much like grammar 5 school after all, when the thrill gained by carrying cards to the various rooms proved oF to us that there was a difference. It was great fun then. We did not realize that we were acting “the printer’s devil,” doing that part of the work that upper classmen scorned to do. After that, we were not so active in the various functions (but still, a few of us were yery good trees in the Winter Carnival). On the other hand we were very busy with our lessons. Many times, as we passed through the hall, we had cast admiring yet questioning glances at a poster at the top of which was written, “General Honor Roll.” We did not understand its full significance until the end of the term, when, wonder of Datei rata Ua Aaa CAA UU US UU UU Sat Sai ie aa Se aa aay bg fe (igus aS RUSS RSA aS Sc Ny D aRuRRU RUS URUR SUR TRRERURUR ALS Roe ea SS ST Se ST nT To OTTO oF FRR RRA SR TTS P . it our wonders! the names of several of our group appeared there. Of course we made it o siness en to find out all about it. eis ok to this, the first National Oratorical Contest was held. We were a little timid about venturing into this because—well, just because we were freshmen. But we would not let any opportunity slip by unheeded ; and so, one of our number offered a paper. It was not accepted, yet we were represented eyen in this. a No year, unless perhaps our senior one, compares with this year of our initiation into Dunbar life. In our sophomore year (an important sounding name that belonged to us) we were allowed for the first time to go to assembly with the older students. This we considered a real milestone, for as long as we were with the seniors we thought ourselves as im- portant as they; at least, that was the thing we tried to impress upon the freshmen. We were yet, however, not quite dignified enough to have the desired effect. We had forgotten all about these efforts when we heard that there was to be a school luncheon to raise money for the Athletic Association. Urged on by the contest and the promise of a prize for the class that made the greatest returns, we jumped almost madly into the midst of our preparations. Emerging victorious, we were quite proud of this first big thing we had done for our school. We are forced to believe that we did not do enough to warrant our prize, though, for we never received it. Whether or not this daunted our spirits, I could not say, but somehow or other the rest of our sophomore year seemed to lack interest. We elected no officers. We took no active part in the two plays, “The Miser’s Mill” and “Quality Street,” that were presented during the year. We were apparently lifeless until spring came and the Oratorical Contest. Again a member of our class submitted a paper on the Constitution. This one was accepted. The writer, Mabel Wyeche, delivered it before the judges and was selected as one of the lucky six to appear in the finals before the student body. How our pulses beat with excitement and pride as Mabel arose on that memorable occasion to compete with the seniors. How we beamed and smiled approval as she sat down again amidst our wild bursts of applause. And then how our hearts sank as the judge announced the winner!

They also represented Dunbar that year at the Columbia Scholastic Press Convention in New York City. That year, too, marked the second year of the Student Council, and three of its officers were members of our group; they were, Frances Cardozo, vice-president ; Cecie Jenkins, secretary, and Dorothy Ferrebee, treasurer. As usual, the various athletic organizations, the Christmas Post Office and the many clubs were ably supported by our class. The main character in our Christmas play, “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” was impersonated by Clara Brown, one of our dramatists. Barly in the spring we began our preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom. We felt it our privilege—or was it a duty?—to show the pupils in Dunbar just how such a function should be carried to perfection. We started out with a yery systematic plan, one well worthy of juniors. Before everything was completed, however, we were forced to resort to practically the same harum scarum methods that we had used in preparing for the luncheon in our sophomore year. But, with every member of the class offering whole-hearted support, and with the duties of every committee satisfactorily carried out, we presented for the enjoyment of the seniors an affair that we were proud to speak of as under our control. Later in the year, an assembly was held one day for “us upper classmen.” We took our seats in the assembly hall quite unaware of what was in store for us. As the program progressed, we sat up and took notice as we began to realize that the seniors on the platform were members of the so-called Honor Society and that one of the members was talking of taking “a few” of the juniors into the society. As Mr. Smith, our principal, arose to summon the fortunate pupils to the platform, our nerves fairly tingled with ex- citement. Who would they be? The tenseness of that moment was greatly relieved when we saw “the few? mem- bers of our class mount the platform yery sedately, repeat the oath with all earnestness and a few moments later return to us as members of the Honor Society. September again! We, the seniors of Dunbar High School! We could well afford, so we thought, to stroll still more leisurely about the building and glance still more casually at the many persons and things that we considered far below us. No one now to dominate us! No one now to recall us from an innocent bit of pleasure suppose dly belonging to seniors alone! We were the ones to recall! We, the seniors! We knew it to be quite fitting that a class so elevated should be organized at once. Consequently we held our first senior meeting and selected Harry Landers as the one to lead our worthy group. As his assistants we chose Mollie Brooks, Carl Beckwith and Frances Cardozo as vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively, We, too, had another responsibility that we considered very seriously. Whom should we elect to see that the functions of our senior organizations, the Fleur-de-Lis and the Rex Clubs, were properly executed? Now, these two organizations were very im- portant factors in our lives and ones whose interests should in no wise be tampered with. After carefully scrutinizing the character and abilities of our yarious members, the girls of our class chose Cecie Jenkins as president; Leora Yates, vice-president; Vivian Jenkins, secretary; and Vivian Wilson treasurer of the Pleur-de-Lis Club. The boys likewise chose Richard Irvin as president; Cornelius Ridgeley, vice-president; Randall Evans, secretary; Carl Beckwith, treasurer of the Rex Club. : These clubs gave and received some very constructive information during the course LES a Sr SSS i Bl eee EU a AN a a ale Nd Ola 5 i= tt Fh UE Sj tat Te Tee pte Apespedne a ea Ta o ork.

Carl Beckwith was postmaster- general with Olga Beckwith as his assistant. Others of us held other positions, but only those positions that had high sounding names like “Chief of the Stamp ADI covets None of us was found (except in cases of absolute necessity) carrying cards to the vari- ous rooms. About this time our Christmas play, “The Christmas Child Comes in,’ was presented. We never knew that we had such dramatic ability in our class until we saw Alexine Tanner, Wendell Taliaferro, William Syphax, Mollie Brooks, Arthur Johnson, Charles Spicer, Ora Gibson, Louise Fisher, Alice Hawkins, Marjorie Knorl, Leona Gray, Phyllis Hodge, Joel Blackwell and many others appear on our stage at that time. The Christmas season was very fittingly closed with our Christmas tree and dona- tions to the poor and to hospitals. 5 Again, for the fourth time, our class had entrants in the National Oratorical Con- test. And since we were seniors and more was expected of us than before, there were more persons who wrote essays. From the five contestants who were elected for the finals—Mabel Wyche, Ruth Matthew, Richard Iryin, Lucius Robinson, and Philip Green—Lucius Robinson was selected to represent Dunbar in the District finals. Ruth Matthews, however, made him work hard for his position, and she came out a close second. And now everything about Dunbar is excitement. Everyone is looking forward with eager anticipation to the day of all days—graduation day. Of course we have many other things of interest before that time. There are the Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Dance, the Senior Picnic, Class Day and eyer and ever so many days of real fun. And to top off everything, that year book which we had such a hard time getting going and over which we have worked so—well, just worked—is nearing completion. It was so much fun getting it ready, that is, taking the pictures and everything. It will not be long now before we will be saying, “When I used to go to Dunbar,” or “The day that I left Dunbar, never to return as a student.” We wonder if we will be as happy then as we are now! ae eae Salk ace eee meg em ees tributed to the success of those four weara because cae Fee ate Teer a ee his part to make the class what it is.

Among these were: Mr. Mountaville Flowers, an orange grower of California; Madame Jessie Andrews Zackery, an eminent coloratura soprano and winner of the Ferrare-Fontani prize; Miss Lydia Mason, Madame Zackery’s accompanist, and winner of the Juliard Scholarship; Mr. W. J. Decatur, the principal of the Sally McCall Foundation School of Cincinnati; Mr. Louis Stoiber, a retired business man who spends his time traveling about the world studying human nature; Swami Yogananda, founder of the Yogoda System of Education; Dr. Daniel Kress and the Right Reverend Odorie Teheng, a recently ordained Chinese bishop, who received his consecration by the pope at Rome along with other Chinese priests. Dunbar High School was the only school in Wash- ington to enjoy the pleasure of the distinguished bishop's visit, Among the messages brought to us partcularly noteworthy were those by Mr. Mountayville Flowers and Swami Yogananda. Mr. Flowers delivered an address called, “A Tip on Futures.” He impressed upon us the necessity of picking a road and keeping in it and of learning to distinguish between what are the essentials and non-essentials in life. He reminded us that bluffing does not pay; that intelligence and teamwork count; that honesty stands first in all business, The Swami talked on a different subject. He told us that we must learn “to swim in the great whirlpool of life,” that we should have bright countenances and that in order to have a cheerful and happy mind, one’s spiritual and mental faculties must harmonize. We should love our neighbors as we loye ourselves, whether this neighbor be the boy in the next seat or the boy of another country. If this were practised through the world, there would be no wars; for, loye worketh no evil to his neighbors. This was the thought brought us by Mrs. Lucy Ames Meade, a member of the Women’s Interna: tional League for Peace and Freedom. Dr. Kress discussed the evil effects of smoking; and, “Protect the Forests,” was the subject of a talk delivered by Dr. Dunlap, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. Some yery interesting reminiscences of his experiences in the World War were given by Dr. T. Edward Jones; and Mrs. Crockett told us about Hawaii. At one of the noon assem- blies the student body was addressed by Dr. J. W. Arthur of Glasgow, Scotland, who has been engaged in missionary work in East Africa. The Jeter-Weir-Jeter Trio of New York City made its appearance in our Auditorium, April 14, 1927. : In the great Arensky Trio these performers were at their best and displayed their artistry and genuine musicianship. The tempi, the nuances, the rhythmic swing and delicate tonal variation, all indicated the breadth of vision and conception, the depth of true emotional insight manifested only by the artst born, not made, The volinist’s playing was distinguished by beauty of tone and expressiveness. Miss Jeter’s clear and adequate technique was merely the medium for the revelauon of her beautiful soul. The ’cello in the hands of Leonard Jeter, breathed into the PURE the life-breath of music. He lost himself completely in the maze of his tone-creations. uuu =i. eta iy RS AS Ss Se epee A En Xd Fa tt a at a ne Sees ane ee RE ee RSTn en una a Xe UR SSR Siero Soest [RERUN a 7 aA oh al i .

Let me think a bit, Well good friend, many and varied haye been my experiences since I was placed here to tick calmly away the minutes that regulate the days of hundreds of children. My life, I suppose, has been like many others—amusing, even ex ng Sometimes, then dull. When I haye received attention, it has only been for one a ae eel but my BCLEU LON has been focused on many activities, Hs oomed up against this wall I heard a conversation in which two stu- CES wwere discussing the size and beauty of the room. “Oh! yes,” said one of them, this will be just fine to use for assembly purposes.” Of course no mention was made of me. The only thing expected of me was to tick, tock, tick, tock, all day, every day, all night, every night. Nevertheless those were the good old days. I used to enjoy the music that drifted up to me, And sometimes I heard the Speeches of distinguished strangers. I shall always cherish the memory of those day: My roommates certainly have my sympathy, for they must do the same work, and still lead lives void of the pleasures I have. Come, look with me over the past few years. I saw at the first, that it was a study hall. (At least that was what they called it.) Then one day there drifted upwards, “do, ti, do, do, ti, la, ti, do,” and other such musical syllables. Next, strains of, “God bless thee, dear Dunbar; Thy radiant star, like the sun of the morning, illumining far.” “Oh!” I said, “so now it is a music room.” “Well, such is life, maybe.” I tried to con- sole myself with the thought that I should get used to it after a while. However, as soon as I attuned my ears to this, new difficulties arose. Must I con- tinue to listen, unaware of what would happen next? Did I have to? Well, what else could I do? Such coufusion—why I had never_heard so much noise in my life. What can it be? Ob! so that was it. It was to be used as a section room for the juniors and seniors of the school. Well, I knew then and there that I was in for a stormy session. However, somebody came to my aid, and musical programs were offered, but here “musie had no charms to sooth the savage breasts.” Speaking of music brings memories of a few weeks ago. Once I almost thought that I had strayed from home, everything was so unusual. The room seemed to be very popular with farmer lads and their songs of “hay.” I discovered though that they were only rehearsing for the operetta, “In Arcady.’ Now that was one thing that I really enjoyed. For three solid days I was in a happy state of bliss, as I witnessed all three of the complete performances. Oh! I almost forgot,to tell you. My friends here (poor souls) also filled another capacity. For the last three years noon assemblies have been held here, Believe me I have seen many, many a nervous knee shaking. Why? Oh! they were, so I heard, ful- filling a dramatic obligation. That is, some of them. Other fearless souls have raved over “school spirit,” and the “Dunbar Observer.” Sometimes they sang their school songs, Lately, however, they have become very stylish, They have a radio that they seem to enjoy immensely. Oh! yes, I should say S, it’s a rather nice one. It has been interesting to note the changes which have taken place in front of me, but hurtful to think that I was not consulted about any of them. However, af shall continue to find solace by keeping my face ever clean, my hands constantly working, and my, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, harmonious with everything else in this well- ed building. regulate 5 ALEXINE TANNER aR Eee poe A al oh oh UA oh aT Eat of Pal oA a ah on ofl oh oh Ea oh Eat aT of a ei Eat a a Sal cat oF oh oh LURURURURURURUR URURE URE UR RL RU SR AAA SE BSS SAR RRR ETE a FEE e ee ee TT TT Tee (een iorU moni ssn rosin sien, oy Enna RERERARLRAR ERE RUR maRURRERURARESE Eres ay V—IWNZMN—A—-0 WS SSIS if ll i ) RE He Mollie H.

Mollie Brooks, C-8, has a winning personality and has always been ready and willing to serve whenever she was needed. She has been president of her section sev- eral times and is vice-president of: the senior class. Having shown her ability as a journalist, she was made editor of the “Dunbar Observer” and assistant editor of journalist, she was made publisher of the “Dunbar Observer” and assistant editor of “Liber Anni.” In her junior year, she represented Dunbar at the Columbia Scholastic Press Convention held in New York. Her appearance in our Christmas play was in- dicative of her dramatic ability. Mollie is a fine student, too, having received “‘E” in every subject with the excep- tion of one, during her entire four-year course, She was also selected from our school to compete for the Times Scholarship. Carl Beckwith, A-8, has done a great deal in the athletic department of our school. He was a member of the Track Team and very efficient full-back on our Football Team. Carl is also responsible for the success that Company B has had in drilling this year, as he is the captain. Although he is an athlete, he has not neglected the other functions of the school. He was postmaster general of the Christmas Post Of- fice and is also secretary of the senior class and a member of the Honor Society. Frances Cardozo, C-8, is another one of our students who has lent her services for the best interests of the school. She holds the offices of treasurer of the senior class, featu re editor of the “Dunbar Observer” and senior editor of “Liber Anni.” Frances is also one of the Senior Sponsors and a member of the Honor Society. What she has not been able to do herself, she influenced others to do by her encouragement and ability to instil confidence in others. Richard Irvin, A-8, is one of our class orators. Richard was a member of the Se- nior Debating Team and was in the Dunbar finals of the National Oratorical Contest. SET en Se afi es eS Sr on SSS ee ene eae er a UR LRU SUS UR RUS UL He is president of the Rex Club, a member of the “Liber Anni” staff and of the Honor a Society. Richard does not drill, but he is a member of the 24th Regimental Band and i gives inspiration to the other boys by his music. ma Cecie Jenkins, D-8, is the best worker and scholar in our class. Her journalistic fF abilities have won for her the positions of editor-in-chief of “Liber Anni” and manag- ra ing editor of the “Dunbar Observer.” Cecie is a good leader, too, and consequently i she was chosen as the president of the Fleur-de-Lis Club. She has filled very efficient- i ly the office of president of her section. She also belongs to the Honor Society, having real received a record of “EK” throughout her entire high school career, f cea Harry Landers, A-8, is a born leader. The members of this class realized this aa when they elected him president of the senior class. He is also president of the Honor ie Society. The manner in which he has trained the boys of Company A evinces the es os that he has in no way failed as its captain. Harry is a member of the “Liber Anni” va staff. He has also been instrumental in winning victories for our Track Team. fa Ruth Matthews, D-8, has also been one of the outstanding orators of this class. i She won first place in the Elks’ Oratorical Contest for Divisions 10-18 of the public 2 schools, and second place in the National Oratorical Contest held in Dunbar. She is i president of the Players’ Guild, president of the Student Council, a member of the ue Honor Society, “Observer” staff and “Liber Anni” staff.

A little freshman had the audacity to ask me—me! if I were a freshman!! Really, my dear friends, something’s got to be done. The children are get- ting to be terrible. Why, even our principal has recognized our importance here, and yet a freshman—! This makes me wrathy when I think of the things I have done—eyen to the spending of money. I've bought a Fleur-de-Lis pin, a class ring and a year book, Vve walked the halls, and I’ve passed with dignity through the assembly hall. I’ye even been late to impress lesser ones with my seniorial rank. My autograph album has been my constant companion, since January, so that children would ask what it was, and I would tell them that we seniors always carry our autograph albums to give the teachers and other such folk the pleasure of writing in them, Yes indeed, I have tried to make them respect you, through me; but they seem not impressible. Gne day the physical training teacher asked me my section, I exclaimed, “Z-8, with the emphasis on “S”; then seeing all eyes upon me, I arose and walked seniorly (that is sedately and airily, or boiled and stewed down to one word, aristocratically) aer the room. I stumbled and fell bang on my nose! But to think, my dears, those juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, laughed at me when they should haye been full of wonder and admiration at the wonderful things a senior can do. I am sure even my fall was the fall of a senior—Class ’27! I was quite hurt by their disrespect to “us.” Why soon, they won't pay any more attention to us than they would to a—a junior. You might say, “But what has that to do with us?” But, can’t you see, my fellow sufferers, that just as they are treating me, they are treating all of us? Now something must be done to uphold the “flower” of the school, Can it be that the denseness oi those about us, the spirit of bolshevism will force us to wear placards—‘Cave Seniorem?’ A most indignant senior, Erma Barsour WJ peice inten tee ee FURL URL UR UR RE RUG UR UR SRL SRE SS SESS Dg SaaS Tce aS oS 5 A is for Ada, friendly but quiet ; In her studies she’s excellent; no one can deny it.

Murriry 1k LL OF HER GRADED SCHOOL LIFE, Pearl’s teachers had been talking to her about “Pingging Away.” other, the poem by Dunbar on the subject had been read and expounded to her. Pearl hadn't the slightest idea what the poet had meant. She hated poetry and turned a deaf ear to the teachers who tried to explain. And that is why, when Perl entered Dunbar High School as a freshman and gazed about the assembly hall in which she was told to sit, the words of the poet, inscribed on the wall on either side of the stage, rather bored her. “Why a man could be immortalized and reyered for writing such “bosh’” was more than Pearl could understand.

Pearl was not pretty—unless big staring brown eyes and straight lifeless brown hair could be called pretty—nor was she what one would call brilliant. Yet she managed to pass all of her tests and grades. She could boast of the fact that she had never been “sept back.” In fact, Pearl had imparted to her mother one day, when in about the sixth grade, the information that if there ever came a time when she was kept back because of pure “dumbness” she was going to stop making the latter waste her money, uy leave school, and “find a job.” And Pearl's mother knew that the girl was quite Fa ig out her promise, but the opportunity for such an act had not a TA A STATS TS STIS TMT ST TDD TO Wala USSD jai capable of carry: nted itself as yet. aT Then in the first half of her freshman year, Pearl acquired a new ambition in pres regard to her scholastic standing. if There had been an assembly one Thursday morning.

Did you go in there to get it?” p ce i “No, you goose,” the dignified senior exclaimed, suddenly becoming angry. “It’s an honor to be taken in.” a F “I see— meekly answered Pearl, ‘It’s an honor.—Well, what do you do to get in? 5 rably?”? ) ae Fifteen per cent of all the subjects you pursue for three and one-half years must be E, sixty per cent of the remaining subjects G, and there can be no deficiencies. Besides, you must have been recommended by your teachers as having excelled in the four qualities: Leadership, Scholarship, Service, and Character. Now, do you partly under- stand?” “Perfectly, and thank you so much for the trouble.” The girl went on to her classes, but Pearl did not moye until she had made a vow to herself. ; . “I’m going to get into that Honor Society !” Il. To determine to do a thing, with Pearl, was to do it. And through the rest of her high school life her motto was, not “Keep a plugging away,” but “Leadership, Scholar- Ship, Service, and Character,” with the Honor Society brightly shining as the ultimate goal, Her first semester's marks were equally divided between E’s and G’s. Of course when the teachers commended her for her persistence, she didn’t know they were prais- ing her for “plugging away.” Mathematics was not so hard. In fact she liked it. History was a perfect trial to Pearl, as she believed in making the most of the present and working toward the future, rather than dwelling in the archives of the past. The only thing that Pearl didn’t like about English was the fact that everything she said (so it seemed) was slang, according to her teacher, and that teacher thoroughly disapproved of slang. French was a babble almost entirely beyond her, and many a tear she shed oyer having elected it. And even with the Subject that she loved, Pearl's life was no easy one. True, her math was nearly always right, but no one but herself knew how much of her pencil she chewed doing 9 problem; her English theme papers, as far as expression went, were a perfect triumph, but she knew how she had written and re-written every line with the dictionary and grammar as right-hand men, only to be given G, where she had expected B; she could tell you about the Stone Age, the early Babylonians, ete., but it was a lesson she had learned word for word, and if the teacher once varied from the questions at th e end of the chapter, Pearl was lost. Then too, it took hours to get this. Pearl wasn’t easily discouraged, and she proved it in a never-to-he forgotten way to her teachers, . - iu Lae SFiS SRR Su SS SS RT SE LU UR IRR UR URS UR LRU waaulN —] Sea eee AR uRURURUR ER URLRURURURURUURURURURURIRUGLRLRURIRUIR la lnnUntiUtRuRtearaa NC] OR ae eS Se et SUS nr SS a UU UU UL AMY F ca The talk of the school became the “Oratorical Contest.” Only twice in her life had Pearl eyer tried to speak. Once she spoke a poem—absolutely without feeling, because it meant nothing to her—and again she had delivered Lincoln's Gettysburg Ad- dress. No one needed to tell her that they were both badly done. She knew it. But she had made up her mind to enter the Oratorical Contest. She selected her subject, and spent every Sunday of each week and half of every Saturday for over a month collecting information, She was not even lucky enough to be one of the chosen six. The only audience she spoke before was the members of the faculty that made up the Oratorical Committee. Yet, after it was over, one of the teachers, knowing how she had worked, murmured sympathetically, “I’m sorry, dear, that you couldn’t have won. You've really worked conscientiously on this.” Pearl opened her eyes wide and answered, “Oh, I'm not sorry. You see I did get something from it. Ive learned more history than I ever would haye gotten otherwise, the experience in speaking was quite new and inspiring, and competition always helps, doesn’t it? Oh, I think I've gained quite a bit that would neyer haye been gained other- wise.” Of course there was nothing else to say to Pearl. In her sophomore year Pearl was made president of her section, and she held that honor in all the succeeding sections until she graduated. Lack of school spirit was something that Pearl couldn’t tolerate. She attended one of the assemblies held for the practicing of cheers just before a big game, and if it wouldn't have made her look too much like a fool, she would have walked upon that stage and told, and proceeded to demonstrate to those children what school spirit really was. At it was, the only thing she could do was to yell her loudest and take “School Spirit” as the subject of her next English theme. (She handled the subject so nicely that she was awarded an E.) She thought it a disgrace if something about her section did not appear in every issue of the school paper, and when the students failed to buy the paper, she took the matter out of the section salesman’s hands and gaye them a good lecture herself. Any place where sections were called upon to make a good showing, it was not Pearl's fault if her section did not come out ahead. In spite of the fact that she was not very attractive, and that she was slightly sareastic in manner, she was very popular.

Even if I haven’t done anything so very wrong, I've thought it lots of times. Aud so there was a great palpitation of the heart on Pearl’s part when ESSA was called that morning. When she was in her seat and knew the purpose of it, such a great rushing seemed to start in her ears that she could hardly hear anything. The president of the Honor Society made his speech and began the program, but it was alinost Greek to Pearl. She knew she must be decidedly red in the face, and was mad with herself for getting so excited when Marie nudged her and asked, “Pearl, are you ill? You're as white as your blouse fs “Am 1? Nothing is the matter,” and she tried to smile. When ler attention was once more on the platform, the principal was speaking. Yes, he was calling the names of the fortunate ones. To Pearl that piece of paper was the doomsday book, and if one’s name was not written thereon, there was no paradise for him. The principal had said there were eight members to be inducted. Six were already on the platform and the seventh name was being called. Pearl sank down in her seat in despair. Her name wasn’t there. How could she ever have expected it to be! She awoke suddenly to the realization that necks were being craned and Marie was nudging her. “Don’t sit here like a sap! He called your name!” Pearl knew that she was in Paradise when she reached the Stage, and she must have received her wings, else how did she ever get up there? Surely she hadn't walked! Then the niain speaker, 2 member of the faculty. arose and spoke. As in a dream his words came to Pearl, but yery few of them remained. She heard him saying, “But they kept a plugging away.” So this was what one meant by plugging away. ... After the meeting was over, and the children had sone to their classes, Pearl went to the library for study. She found a book, and for the first time in he : r life she read and tried to understand a poem. “If you've got your eye on heaven, cS Some bright day you'll wake up there’— That was what she had done! “Perseverance still is king, Time its sure reward will bring.

The response. however, was not so great as that of the preceding year. The contestants in Dunbar had their final trial in our auditorium on Thursday, April 14, before members of the faculty, upper classmen and visitors. Richard Trying, Mabel Wyehe, Philip Green, Ruth Matthews, and Lucius Robinson were the five suc- cessful competitors. Jefferson's part in the Constitution was clearly brought out by Lucius Robinson. winner of the first prize. Ruth Matthews was awarded second place. All of the speak- ers were received with enthusiasm. THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE CONSTITUTION ROM THH DAWN OF CIVILIZATION on through the ages, evolution in goy- ernment has marked the progress of the human race. Wheneyer one form of government became corrupt, men reyolted against it and inaugurated a new form. The American Colonies revolted against the despotic rule of England and set up a democracy. This democracy was ruled by the Articles of Con- federation, but the Articles soon proved inadequate and in May 1787 a group of our most talented statesmen met at Independence Hall, Philadelphia for the purpose of revising the Articles. After four months of heated argument and unrelenting toil, they threw open their doors of secret council and presented to the world for its stamp of approval a document that was destined to become the Constitution of these United States—as Gladstone so eloquently lauds it, “the noblest work ever struck off at a given time by the mind and purpose of man.” The leaders of our government seem to have been chosen through divine Providence. The venerable and sagacious Franklin established our relations with foreign powers; the eloquent and courageous Hamilton drew up that world document, the Constitution; the immortal Washington set the wheels of the new government into motion—but it remained for that renowned diplomat and statesman, Thomas Jefferson, who had served his country so well during the Revolution, to stand at the helm and steer the Ship of State into the strange waters of true democracy. The task before Jefferson was great, for not only did he launch a true democracy, but he so canonized the Constitution of this democracy in the hearts of the American people, that no matter how furious the attacks hurled at this democracy, it should neyer “perish from the earth.” In order to secure respect and love for this new form of government, Jefferson drew about him a strong cabinet of the most learned and influential men of the age, con- spicuous among whom were James Madison, Secretary of State, and Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury. These two with Jefferson formed a triumvirate in whose hands rested the welfare of a nation. Never before nor since have there been three such kindred spirits in public life, so truly and loyally devoted to the interests of the masses. While Jefferson did many things to perpetuate a true democracy, the most lasting of these was his diplomacy in purchasing for the Union that vast area beyond the LESSER Aa a a a SS TTS spn spe petit sill 4 EUS ea CS Sac Cait tin atu aie manish tua ioaiaieieat nd a.

The Barbary power of Tripoli had annoyed our commerce and insulted our Navy since goon after EULESS ships were captured, passengers and crews held for ransom. During the administrations of Washington and Adams the ransom had been paid, still our ships were continually harassed. “War was inevitable.” It came in 1803. After a few decisive battles Tripoli was subdued. Again that illustrious man had succeeded—had accomplished that in which two other presidents had failed. He “had provided for the common defence.” Not only did that renowned democrat canonize the Constitution in the hearts of the American people by purchase, but with his plea for unreproved freedom of worship and through his scheme of universal education he perpetuated that world famous docu- ment. Having sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny oyer the mind of man, the brilliant son of Virginia, when the ink of the ‘Declaration of Independence” was scarcely dry, hastened home, donned armor, and rode into the arena. There he challenged the proud, strong aristocracy to the field and completely unhorsed it in a fair fight. Accomplishing what French Revolutionists found most difficult, what Mr. Gladstone found equally as difficult in Ireland, and what no man has been able to accomplish in England to this day—he severed the cords of a State church. Striking ont all clauses on the statute books pertaining to the State church, in its place the progressive statesman embodied, safeguarded and enshrined the nucleus of this government, the thing for which the Pilgrim fathers crossed the sea—unmolested freedom of worship. Nor did he stop here. When his own state had been released from the bonds of religious monopoly, Jefferson undertook to strike off the religious shackles of the whole country. Not wholly in accord with the Constitution because it did not safeguard life, because it did not enshrine a bill of rights, this timid, vacillating attendant of many a Revolutionary council dared step into the political arena and champion the rights of a sorely oppressed people. Utilizing “logic, irony, good natured appeal,” Jefferson pleaded his case before the bar of a candid world. Insisting that the Constitution should be amended with the incorporation of a “bill of rights,” having as a part of it a bill forever debarring the Federal government from the establishment of a religion, the great dem- ocratizer made the liberty of worshipping as free as that of breathin Realizing that a country religiously free but bound by ae Cee ana aunties hero as early as 1778 while we were a pin areas the eantsnmen: ct a Se asap agies of Be ae aoe MLR RGERh estes cee ghee soca even State Universities.

Let our countrymen know ane ple alone can protect us from these evils and the tax which will be paid to kings, priests and nobles, who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.” : Jefferson maintained that the chief use of an edueation was to prepare for good citizenship. Hence his secheme—the common school—the education of the masses. Just as deeply was the thought of higher branches of learning—a State University. The lasting influence of Mr. Jefferson upon our public institutions has nowhere been more keenly felt or more beneficial than in this one. The influence of this scheme has been so Strongly felt that today in every locality where waves Old Glory, there are common schools and nearly every state fosters its own university. His chief aim being to equip for good citizenship, the scope of his preparation was wide. Nevertheless, there was one study which he considered especially suited to a place in the curriculum of every university of the people. He termed this study the Science of Government—political economy, political history of England, the United States, Virginia, and the Constitution. While there are universites today that do not foster the Science of Government, there is not one that does not teach the Constitution of the United States and stress the principles therein involved. Whatever has been done in this branch to make better citizens and perpetuate the Constitution must be re- membered to the immortal honor of Thomas Jefferson, who inaugurated it over one hundred years ago. The Louisiana Purchase with its thousands of acres will never cease to be a part of this Union, Unreproved freedom of worship and universal education will neyer be wiped out’ by lawlessness. As long as these remain as integral factors of the union, so will the memory of Thomas Jefferson be cherished and the Constitution be canonized and perpetuated in the hearts of the American people.

Such a time! Bundles, dishes, food, money and efforts unfailing. Many a mother was sur- prised to find her potatoes missing when she went to prepare her meals that week. Many a father complained that his daughter or son was continually asking for money.

While living in that place I had often heard of a large, marvelous, and beautiful city called Dunbar. I longed to live in this city, although I knew I should haye to pay the price of staying there with coins of intelligence. So, after taking a sad leave of Graded Town, I came to the great city, Dunbar, IT found Dunbar a magnificent place with its four broad streets, Freshman Place, Sophomore Boulevard, Junior Avenue, and Rue de Seniors. These streets, though they looked easy to travel, were exceedingly hard because they were payed with studies. I first lived on Freshman Place. Here I became acquainted with four friends; the first, a very talkative little girl numed English; the second, was History, who was quite dull and ancient; the third, was Latin, whom I hated because I could neyer un- derstand him; and the fourth, was Algebra, a darling little chap. I got along with all of my friends, nnd soon I went to live on Sophomore Bouleyard. Here on Sophomore Boulevard I met some relatiyes of my Freshman friends as well as two or three new acquaintances, a yery fascinating gentleman called Geometry with whom I got along finely, and a very conceited man, Mr. Caesar. This man had written a whole yolume about himself and his wars. He expected me to read it, too. I hated him. I began to hate the whole street, because my friends got so fussy at T had to study hard, but I finally got along well enough times, and there was little play. to moye to the gay Junior Avenue. On Junior Avenue, I met many new acquaintances, little Miss English being my only old friend. This year I had a pretty good time. The people on Junior Avenue gaye those on Rue de Seniors a dance. It was a gorgeous affair. I took part ina Spring play. At the drill too, when Dunbar won, the Juniors were very prominent, and I wore the arm- band of a senior officer. But I could not live forever here, and soon went to Itue de Seniors, And here I am on Rue de Seniors, close to a station called Graduation from which I shall make my exit from this great city. So, after four years of pain and joy, jest and jobs, struggle and reward, I am to leave Dunbar City which I love.

After all these months, rushing to school, banging in and out of lockers, walking arm in arm with giggling friends have lost their thrill and thus our friend, the senior, findeth himself casually walking to school in time for his first class only and leaving immediately after his last. Lo! they have become older and wiser. Behold, their walk. It is the tread of the sophsiticated, the brave, the wise, the scholar. Seniors! By their walk ye shall know them—wise girls and boys, filed with wisdom, gravity and prudence. Nay! Sages of old could not have walked with more dignity, I pity thee, sayeth the smile that the senior bestoweth upon the under classman.

Yea, though I walk to the lunchroom daily, I can not eat, for English is with me, its grammar and its literature they haunt me. ; Its themes are ever before me In the presence of my joys, they fill me with worry; my brain splitteth.

She maketh me to write the longest themes: she marketh me for punctuation. She tormenteth my soul; she lead- eth me into the mazes of Burke for my own sake. Yea, though I plod through the essay by Carlyle on Burns, I will make no “B®”: for she is with me: her eyes and her smile they dismay me.

For then we realized that translating eighty to one hundred lines of Virgil each night was no fun. However, as the months passed and we learned more of Virgil we thought differently. Perhaps the 2 inspiration and encouragement given us by Mr. McDuffie were responsible for this new trend of feeling. Now if I were asked to name one subject in the curriculum that a high school student should take, I would unhesitantly answer, “Take Virgil by all means.’ For you cannot fully appreciate Latin until you have studied Virgil: it gives a nicety of balance to your former years of Latin. The Virgil class of 1927 has outnumbered any previous class. The members are: Dorothy Ferrebee, Henri Bailey, Clarence Banton, Olga Beckwith, Carl Beckwith, Ar- thur Bullock, Florinda Douglass, Walter English, Ora Gibson, Laurence Howard, Vivian Jenkins, Grace Ridgley, Dorothea Scurlock, Melvin Sewell, Harry Smith, Marbelle Steele, Creel West, and Vivian Wilson.

The Fleur-De-Lis Club | N 1904, the girls of the graduating class organized a club known as the Emerson Club. The next year the club was perpetuated, changing its name to the Fleur-de-Lis in recognition of the emblem of the school, From that time until the present the Fleur-de-Lis Club has been an interested and active factor in school activities. i Early in the fall the girls of '27 met under the sponsorship of Miss Julia BE. Brooks and elected officers for the ensuing year, The officers elected are as follows: Cecie Jenkins, president; Leora Yates, vice-president; Vivian Jenkins, secretary; and Vivian Wilson, treasurer. During the Christmas holidays the annual reception was held in the armory, and it was a gala affair. Besides members of the Rex Club, many alumni and friends were present to enjoy the evening's entertainment. At this season of the year, also, the club gave donations to the poor, and a gift to each of the school matrons in appreciation of their help in making the reception a success. When the Fleur-de-Lis Club was organized this year, it made definite plans for the current year. It was decided that the meetings should be not only entertaining, but in- structive and helpfui in showing the girls what fields in life are open to them. In other words, the work of the year should include a study in Vocational Guidance. Ac- cordingly. at various times, women who have achieyed success along certain lines addressed the club on the opportunities that await girls. On one occasion Mrs. Vivian Cook of Baltimore, an instructor in Vocational Guidance, and again Dr. Anna J. Cooper, a teacher of Dunbar spoke. A special girls’ assembly was held at which Mrs. Martha MeAdoo talked very in- terestingly about the Y.W.C.A. and its work, urging the girls to greater interest in that work, A great deal of inspiration was gathered from these talks. At other times entertaining programs were given by members of the club. The members of the Fleurde-Lis: Club have been greatly interested in the work they have been doing during the past year. It is their hope that those who follow will be able to derive the same interest. at RRERURUR UR SUR Un rion Shien onoriscoionion onion on Sen on onioni on enon oan oionon oRen one an ono MNT ToAon eMC TONS [OO] e =x (a hacergesae ae SL ALS SO oS eat RURURURURURIIRURUR URUR URES URUSURLAUR SRSA Linen a RIVER The Rex Club HE REX CLUB, a fraternal organization for senior boys, embarked upon its career of service in 1916. The club was organized through the efforts of Her- bert Marshall. a member of the senior class, and Mr. Walter L. Smith, then a teacher of mathematics in the M Street High School. The purposes for which the Rex Club was organized were at first merely 5 3 | social, but gradually these aims become more comprehensive, so that at the present time the Club has as its aim not only social activity, but also service to the school. The organization is looked up to by the whole school because of worthy services rendered by it. arn 1924, under the guidance of Mr, Bassett, a permanent design was selected for a Rex pin and a constitution was drawn up and adopted. The club of 727 has purchased Q stamp with the Rex Crown as a design, to be used in transacting the business of the club, The officers of the Rex Club are: Richard Irving, president ; Cornelius Ridgeley, yice- president; Randall Evans, secretary; Carl Beckwith, treasurer, Re EU US isn am Er ara sp a RRR ISR RARE Re UE am errr circa steno DY Sh Ent Lay Li oi oF a oF oh al ei oh ofl ofl E : a a a eal is fa ca % al Si a aT Si a ofl i oi oi Ma oy Di | aa ei a i i The Honor Society HE DUNBAR CHAPTER of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools is one of about three hundred chapters, The society is guided by a constitu- tion, similar to that of the other chapters, and is directed according to a general plan adopted by the national society. Election into the Honor Society is based on four cardinal principles: Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Members must have a scho- lastic record of fifteen per cent ‘“Excellents” in all subjects pursued, sixty per cent of the remainder “Goods,” and no deficiencies. The Honor Society of 1926-27 had its first induction of members from the then junior class in June, 1926. Those inducted were: Henri Bailey, Erma Barbour, Carl Beckwith, Olga Beckwith, Mollie Brooks, Frances Cardozo, Josephine Coleman, Florinda Douglass, Dorothy Ferrebee, Ada Foreman, Ora Gibson, Richard Irving, Vivian Jenkins, Harry Landers, Thelma Lane, Wilder Montgomery, Cornelius Ridgley, Grace Ridgeley, Cecie Jenkins, and Leora Yates. Cecie Jenkins was already a member of the society, haying been a member of last year’s senior class. She was valedictorian of the mid-year class of ’27, but did not graduate because of a mistake in her scholastic record. At the first formal meeting in September, the society elected as its officers for the year: Harry Landers, president; Olga Beckwith, vice-president; and Thelma Lane, secretary. The society is under the sponsorship of Mr. James N. Saunders, On January 20, 1927, the society held the induction of new members with a very beautiful and formal ceremony. Those inducted at this time were: Arthur Bullock, Emily Douglass, Flora Fisher, Lawrence Howard, Marjorie Knorl, Ruth Mathews, Edith Mor- rison, Elsie Robinson, Dorothea Scurlock, Carolyn Shorter, and James Watson. On each of these new members was pinned, by the president, a paper emblem representing the Honor Society pin, and then the creed was read, the new members repeating it, Mr, J. ‘ Newton Hill gave the address. After a few remarks by the principal, the program was closed by the singing of the Alma Mater. 2 On March 7, 1927, Dunbar Day was observed as an annual celebration of the so- fi ciety, with literary and musical numbers. Several members of the junior class will be inducted into the society in June, so that the life of the society will not cease. = UU UF UE URE A SO a A UU Oa UU UU UU Oe a See ae Tee SARE A (manana th ta i Sea. | THE “DUNBAR OBSERVER” STAFF The Dunbar Observer OR THE SCHOOL YEAR of 1926-27, “The Dunbar Observer” has been edited almost entirely by the Journalism Class. The girls feel enormously puffed up over the fact that girls filled all of the highest offices. For the third time, the “Observer” was represented at the Coumbia Scho- lastic Press Association convention in New York. Eugene Bass, James Jones, Cornelius Ridgley, and Francis Simon were our delegates, Miss Daniel and Mr. Haley Douglass were the faculty members there. In accordance with a new plan Suggested at the Convention, the “Obseryer” staff was changed to conform with the stat? organization on the daily papers of the country. Thus, Mollie Brooks became publisher ; Cecie Jenkins, managing editor; Edna Burke, news editor; Ora Gibson, copy editor; Alexine Tanner, make-up editor; Frances Cardozo, feature editor, and Thelma Lane, business manager, On the news editor's staf! are Francis Simon and Oscar Williams art editors; Rosetta Berry, in charge of exchange ; Elise Fletcher, faculty editor; and Cyril Hendrick- son, sport editor. Ruth: Matthews, in charge of the etiquette column; Laurence Howard, of poetry; Elsie Johnson and Sarah Frazier, of Special articles, make up the feature editor’s staff. Jugen Bass, the advertisement manager and Artenia Gibson, circulation manager compose the business staff, Outstanding among this year’s innovations is th Frances Cardozo and Cecie Jenkins. Alexine ‘Tanner contributes “Did You Byer Read . ..,” and Beatrice Murphy contributed “Passing Notice” until she became ill and Stopped school. The new feature on the editorial page is “Letters to the Editor.” The Drill issue of the “Observer” brings this year’s work to a climax representing as it does the work of an unusually large number of people, and is both wider and longer to accommodate an extra column, With one more issue, a special graduation number, the “Observer” will end its work for 1926-1927. e “Hall of Fame” conducted by aie ee ay Eat cal oF oh ei aA oA Pil af Fal al i Pay ei oF al eal ei Fal i pal afl oF rl Ee ua of eI Ea eal Pil El El a ei a El hl iy oh Lay El of a ca Lil oa et oh th 8h iy 5 Sh oh oh i 8 by ih i ey a § if oh FA ie oF Gi ie Se Udell tints eat el z A en ee SaaS SN SL Ue et URLS Urea | | eats } THE OFFICERS’ CLUB THE HOCKEY CLUB : a] (5 sss SR RS SSR RU UU ue A Re eld FSSA RI RURURUR BURL UR RUS URU RRR RRL URL UR S URS eta ‘ . a a al ie Ses TSA th au ea 4 Pe ea =i] ea a A a ism Cl eB Che Journalism Class a ] F THE JOURNALISM CLASS OF 1927, it may well be said: “Toiling, rejoicing, i smiling, onward through life they go.” From September until June they gy have toiled, rejoiced over their accomplishments, and smiled over the praise = they received. “Liber Anni” has benefited by their toiling, too; and as we come eA to think of it, they have been the main workers in the composition of the a ———| year book of 1927.

Ill-concealed impatience for the judges’ decision! Of course hefore the debate it was without question that the seniors would defeat the juniors, simply because they were seniors.

This aim a has been carried out-to a great extent by the club this year under the leader- a ship of the assistant principal, Miss Julia Brooks. At the beginning of the un year after the incoming freshmen were enrolled, sponsors were gned to a aks freshman sections, and given the responsibility of seeing that the section Fe was aware of, and took interest in, every activity of Dunbar. In addition to making us life pleasant through the clubs and social activities of Dunbar, the senior sponsors have endeavored to aid the freshmen by tutoring them in Latin, Algebra, and other subjects, when necessary. According to a precedent established in previous years, the sponsors gave the fresh- men a welcoming party which was held after school early in the first Semester. They first went to the girls’ gymnasium where yarious games were played, and prizes were offered to the best contestants. Afterwards, everyone went to the lunchroom where ice cream was served, At this time the freshmen were taught many of the Dunbar yells, oh Fil al oh Ey Bf eal oA Keen enthusiasm was exhibited on the side of both hostes es and guests, Fa oA oA oA Sh oh i oh oh Ei ai In February, again, each Sponsor was assigt upon her as before.

In 1924 three orig “A New Home,” by Miriam Hutchins; “Leaving the Baby,” by Dorothy Jone and “A Penny’s a Penny,” by Neola Parr, were presented. At the class night exerc of 1926, three other original dramas were presented: “Gypsy Blood,” by Ethel Easley: “A Little Bit_ o’ Learning,” by Florida Pitt; “And He Set a Child in Their Midst,” by Ruth Matthews. Wor the class night exercises of 1927 three original plays will be presented: “A Question of Honor,” by Martha Bogan; “Dot Was Right.” by Scotti Mayo, and “The Old Picture,” by Evelyn Lee and Ethel Houston. The club has also from time to time presented the following: A group of plays by the Irish dramat “Spreading the News.” by Lady Gregory: “The Land of Heart's Desire,” by W. B. Yeats; “Quality Street,” by James M. Barrie; “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” by Kate Douglass Wiggins; “The Bonds of Interest,” from the Spanish of Jacinto Benevente; “The Christmas Child Comes in,” by Zona Gale. In October, 1926, the club was re-organized by former students of dramatics and those then pursuing the course. At the first meeting officers were elected as follows: Ruth Matthews, president; Pauline Gaskins, vice-president; Elise McEntree, secretary ; and Ollie Young and Edith Wormley, publicity agents. Those members of the Players Guild who will leave Dunbar in June, 1927, wish to thank Miss Burrill for her dramatic instruction along with the inspiration to. continue in the study of this art. : Z The creed adopted at the beginning and still maintained is: We believe in the beauty and the power of the spoken word. % We believe in the Theatre as a meeting place for many arts—Literature, the Spoken Word, Painting, Dancing, Music. We believe in the presentation of good plays because of their refining influence upon both actor and audience. We believe in the possibilities of the Negro both as creator and interpreter of dramatic art.

The club has been on outings to the “Zoo,” to the Carnegie Institute Exhibition, and to the Bot- anical Gardens. Each outing aided in making the purpose of the club a reality. Aside from the business procedure, the club has devoted some time to entertain- ment. It has done some work in photography, limited to the development of the film and the negative. The members took great delight in bringing negatives to be drawn off, enjoying it particularly because they performed the operation, and obtained some good results. . The meetings of the club are held bi-weekly. The members make reports on the “good turns” they have done. These “good turns” are helpful deeds done for man, birds, or beasts. “I rose earlier than usual last week to aid a sick woman who was stopping at my honse.” was the report of one member. Another said, “I helped an old lady, loaded down with bundles. cross a busy street.” “I,” EN a era Ua Uh An en coe ea Ei] U5 Said another, “ country last Saturday and noticed that several trees had been cut down.

One is “The ‘ree Party.” In this game, a number of interesting questions are asked; requiring as answers, the names of trees. Miss Edith Wormley, ebairman of the program committee, worked out a cross rord puzzle, the letters of which spelled the biological terms we had used in class, These and many other features cansed ns to spend many pleasant moments at our meeting Through this elub, interest in biology has increased. not only theoretical but practical.

A valentine party, a hike, and a picnic have rewarded the members for their hard work at other times. aU UR aoe aan iw eae et Sa i UU UU UU EU eR Se CS | st of AAAS RES ALTAR TTR TR TI ie!

They elected Elizabeth Neill, president ; Mar- garet Just, vice-president; Catherine Brooks, secretary ; and Florence Phillips, treasurer, At this time, the senior sponsors told us what was expected of us and how best to sueceed at Dunbar. At the next meeting we had a very jolly time in the gymnasium, fol- lowed by refreshments in the lunchroom. The club has been a travel club this year. Our first trip was to Sweden and Miss Brooks led the party. Her talk, which was illustrated by pictures, was so clear that we really felt as if we were visiting that country. Mrs. Jackson guided us through Paris, about whici we learned many odd things. At the next meeting Miss Lydia Brown gaye us an interesting and detailed account of Constantinople. This talk was illustrated by photographs, ‘The pictures were beautiful and the actual scenes must have been more so, We all wished that we had been able to accompany Miss Brown on her trip, At Christmas, the club gathered toys, books, and games and distributed them among the children at Freedmen’s Hospital. We are now looking forward to our picnie which will bring to a close the interests and activities of the Freshman Girls’ Club of 1926-27.

Embracing several types of sports, it can make an appeal, with ease, to every pupil. Naturally, we expect the support of every pupil. Our membership enrollment reached a total of over eight hundred pupils who joined either for the entire year or for a semester, This figure represents a certain degree of co-operation, but not that high degree that we expect of loyal Dunbar students. We are confident, however, that interest is on the increase, and we are hoping for much better response in the future. But what of the big events of the year? Football gave us several real big thrills. A well-earned victory over Douglass High School of Baltimore enabled us to square ac- counts with that friendly rival. Armstrong, ever challenging our supremacy, battled us to a tie. These were the chief games of our schedule this year, for the games with the Virginia high schools were temporarily cancelled. Basketball was not crowned with many successes, although our representatives fought with the same genuine spirit that has always characterized Dunbar players. More might be said in our brief summary, but it is sufficient that Dunbar is de- termined to forge ahead in eyery field of athletic endeavor in the hope that next year will see us at our goal: “Success Through 100 per cent Co-operation.” The Football Team In spite of its many disadvantages and handicaps, the football team made a very fine showing this year, though hecause of the lack of experienced men, the team was slow in getting into shape. . Through their diligent work, Mr. Saunders and Mr, Pinderhughes built a wonderful team considering the conditions under which they labored. Much credit is due them for the showing wade by the team during the football season, Dunbar was defeated in the first game of the season by the Ebenezer Warriors, 13-7. In the next game the team battled to a 12-12 tie with the Willowtree Eleven, A bitter as taken when Dunbar was defeated at Manassas by a score of 7-0. The Red ang Black men won a victory over Douglass High School with 2 score of 7-0, thus wiping out the sting of the defeat of the previous year. At Bowie Normal School the gridiron sons of Dunbar were held to a scoreless tie.

A number of freshman sirls and boys have been and still are participating in yarious sports around Dunbar. Very recently the school has presented an operetta, “In Aready,” in which a number of freshman boys and girls took part. The play was a suecess and we freshman students are proud, indeed, to be able to say that we did our share in help- ing to make it so. Those of us who did not take part in the operetta, bought and sold tickets. Before the operetta, the school had track meets and recitals, both of which have been helped by the freshman class. Franklin Fletcher, B-2, is a member of the Dunbar Orchestra. Although we have been students h ere only a short time, we already have the old Dunbar Spirit, and are no less enthusiastic in our class work than the older students.

Nothing of great importance occurred during our first year, but when we became sophomores we received various honors. Not only did our debating team defeat that of the freshmen, but it even defeated the senior team. Then too, the silver cup, that was given l | for the best individual debater, was won by a sophomore. Our class also received the cup in the girls’ swimming contest. As juniors we gained still more recognition in the debating society and in the cross-country run. At the begirning of the Year, the class elected its officers. The result of this election was as follows; Edna Burke, president; Rosetta Berry vice-president; Elsie Johnson, secretary; Juliette Grigsby, treasurer; Blanchard Lloyd, sergeant-at-arms. The Class of '2S wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations to the seniors for what they have accomplished and hopes that it will be able, if possible, to do even more for Dunbar.
