LL.B. Fnjfiss ir uj M„theii, ilicx ami llidonj of Buics Creek Academy We, the Senior Class of 1913, respectfully Dedicate this, the second issue of the Pine Burr as a token of the liivc and esteem in which he is held by the student body Phof. B. p. Marshbaxks, MA., LL.B. There can be no continual gathering here in this world of separations. And so the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen, as all other earthly gatherings, must separate. We have met from year to year in this institution, have gladly welcomed each other, and have parted at the end of the school Editorial years, feeling that only a few short months would intervene before we would again clasp hands. But now a final parting time has come — a time when we shall meet no more as a class, and we must bid farewell to each other, to Buies Creek Academy and to the many associations which we have learned to love so well. In parting we publish this volume of the Pine Burr as a token of remem- brance of our parting class members and to others who may be interested in us and the work which we have attempted to accomplish while here. Therefore to the kind readers of the Pine Burr, this being our first attempt at anything of this kind, we would bespeak for ourselves your kind considera- tion and sympathetic criticism, and would ask that whatever mistakes you find herein, you overlook, and think only of our motive, not our imperfections. With these few words of introduction we place this volume of the Pine Burr in your hands, and hope that it may be found worthy of your inspection. Editorial Staff C. 0. Bell Editor in Chief E. A.

Chip has been here only two years but in that short time he has won friends as few have been able to do. In a shorter time than the average student he com- l)lpted the High School course. In the spring of 1912 lie won the Excelsior, for the best allround young man in school. He has held several important offices in his society and the Y. M. C. A. As a lawyer we shall expect him to make good — pleading the one great (love) case. (Eu.); President Societv; President Anniversarv 1911. Felix Orton Bell, Linden, N. C. Motto: Labor niiniin riiicit. The only heli)less people in the world are the lazy. Felix is not one of the helpless, for in a shorter time than it takes most students he completed the required High Scliuol course. Like the Liberty bell he is up in the air atifl has to look down on most of us, and yet he is not above us for he is the friend of every one, his sunny smile can not help but win for him friends and his cheery tones have a ring uncommon to most Bells. If at any time you hear You know — spoken in a ringing tone, you may look out for Felix, for he is sure to be near. In his chosen profession of M.D. the Senior Class of lOl. ' J wish for him much success. (Eu.) Lena Maik Betts, Buies Creek, X. C. Motto: Dmi ' t be dismnrnged, ncrcr give up. girl of high quahties, very modest, sweet in dispo- sition, and possesses a deep Christian character. She is faithful to her school duties and in all things she does her part well. Though undecided as to her hfe work we feel sure that she will be capable in whatever .she undertakes. EuLA May Bullard, Fayettcville, N. C. Motto: X ever give up. Her greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising every time she falls. Of Jule it may be said that she has that charming trait of character which so many others do not possess, that of not speaking unless she has something to say. She is one of the most studious girls in school, and thei-c is no one who has more friends. You will ever find Eiila doing that which tends toward helping others. .Just to see her you would think her haughty, but to know her reveals just the contrary fact. (Athenian; Secretary Class ' 13.) M. Peytox Bullahd, Fayetteville, N. C. Motto: Slriving upward to higher things. The secret of success is constancy to piu-pose. His face is the mirror of soul, therefore at a glance an observer would say This is a young man with a noble character, which is true. Though you search through the whole student body you will not find one more stu- dious or more loyal to his teachers and the regulations of the school than Peyton. Although here for only one short year yet he has won many lasting friends who wish for him the greatest of success. (Eu.; Critic Society.) Henry Verkon Burden, Aulander, X. C. Motto: Give the world the hrxl you hare and the henl will come to yon. Vernon is always bubbhng over with happiness. Those who come in contact with him ai-e sure to catch some of his cheerfulness and then they smile and soon the whole school smiles. In his chosen profession of taking tem- peratures and writing prescriptions he will make good, for whatsoever he goes at he goes with a determination to succeed. (Eu.) CiEORciE r. Cameron, Iln|K.

He is quiet and modest, but his ability has asserted itself to such a degree that he is a recognized leader. He is one who has never sought honor but has had it Thrust upon him. He has held every office from doorkeeper to President in his society and has filled each one with i(|iial honor, has also been a prominent leader in other oig.uzations tending toward the better life of the school. inner of both Improvement and Debater Medals in his society. (Phi.) Ina Azalkxe Dinlat, Bonier, X. C. Motto: Let us he rather Ihiiii aceiit. Count that day lost whose low descending sun ' iews from thy hand no worthy action done. Ted is a girl with a genial disposition and an example of a strong character. She is marked by her faithful- ne.ss to duty and is calm in her actions. There is no better testimony to her ability as a student than to say she won the albound Best Student Medal in her Junior year. She is enthusiastic in religious work and has held honors in her society and other organizations, ■e are confident that she will make good in whatever she under- takes. (Ath.) Odis Toy Eakes, Oxford, X. C. Motto: oiiiic, I .soic, cuiiqucnd. Eakes is one of our best boys, very active in the relig- ious and society work. Always ready to lend a lielping hand to his teachers and schoolmates. He is well known by all the students and to know him i.s to like him. We are sure that he will make friends wherever he goes, and that whatever line of work he is planning to follow he will alwavsbe faithful. (Phi.) .I(JMN RoHKjiT ICdwahds, Ore Hill, N. C. Motto: [(llcness is cn ' iiic, John Robert is a young man with a strong personality. He is jolly and is noted for his wit, but knows just when to stop foolishness and take things serioiisl} ' . He takes jileasure in lending a helping hand to anyone in need. He is preparing for the ministry and we feel sure the future has in store for him a life of usefulness.

Ch. rIjKs .John.son Fleetwood, Motto; ,S ' ( Void possiiiii. Hertiord, N. C. ' Everv man stamjis his own value upon him- self, and he is great or little according to his -ssat iK The highest tribute that can be paid to a student is to say that he is always faithful to his duties, frank and loyal to his teachers and many friends. Such a tribute is worthily paid to this young man. He has fillid impor- tant places in his .society and is the nunii liminrcd Presi- dent of our class. His carn ' st, sympal liel ic licarl makes him .anxious to help his fellow men. He expects to take a medical course at KichuKJud. We ])redict for him a useful career, not onlv in administering to the physical needs of mankind, but in midving the wc.rld brighter with his high ideals of life. (Imi.I Ai). Penelope Hamilton, Marshville, . C. Motto: Puddle your own canoe. Yet where an equal poise of hope and fear loes arbitrate the event, my nature is that I incline to hope rather than fear, and gladly banish squint .suspicion. Although Jack h.as been with us only one year, her faithfulness and ability have won for her many friends. She is one of our brightest girls, the leader in .all of her classes, and by the quiet yet determined way in which she performs her task.s she show.s us that she always does her best without making a fuss over it. No task is too hard for her. We e.xiiect to see her name among the great teachers of our State. (Ath.) Joseph Duncan Hoggard, Asheville, N. C. Motto: Don ' t talk u-hen you ' ve nothing to say. Piggard is a young man of excellent character. One in whom his fellow students have the utmost confidence and respect and whom his teachers have learned to depend upon. Although undecided upon his life work, yet we know, judging by his past Ufe, that whatever sphere he fills will be nobly filled and that he will try to help his fallen brother. A good student and an enthii- siastic worker for his society, in which he has held offices of honor. (Phi.) Hubert Hexry Huff, Soudan, Va. Motto: He vhn u-oidd win munt labor for the prize. It seems that Hubert has made it his motto, Some may come and some may go, but I stay on forever. It is true he has been with us a good while, still he has always been faithful to his work. During this time he has completed the Business Course and also the Literary work. He is beyond a doubt the hardest worker in the class — Always on the job, as he calls it. He is unde- cided what he will follow in life but whatever it may be we are sure he will meet with the Kr(!atest of success (Eu.) Weusteu Xim.mo J.acksox, Faison, N. C. MoTT(K Exio quod esse videris. We do not have to know anyone long until his uliilily will reveal it.self. This is true with Jackson. Althcmnii he has only been with us a short while he shows I lie marks of a brilhant student. On the athletic field he is acknowledged as an alh-ound athlete. Any task lie may undertake will be finished well by him. (Phi.) James Washington Johnson, CVdar C ' rrek, . C. Motto: He aims loo loir in life irli i uinis iKiirolh Die slni-K. Jim is as innocent as lii ' Iddks, lir has never been aceuscd of interfering with anyone, and has made a most desirable reputation here. No one ever labored harder or was ever loved better than he. He was elected by his society as one of the Anniversary Debaters. This is where he revealed his powers as a speaker. He was also President of his society in the fall of 1912. He is one who does a gdiid ileal ]f iniiet thinkinij for himself. We will expect to heal- frciiii hini again. (Eu.) iMilC A-MllS l.ATTA, Motto: Lin ' fa nihl ■illli. Oxford, N. C.

LucaiUTT, Kobeisonville, X. ( ' . MotTcj: SihuI; III! Inilli. sUiinl for Ihe rii hl, and do nut l,r afraid. The world ' s call today is for the Imsiness man. Guess this is why Leggett has dei ' ideil upon this profession. You will always find him around the Business Depart- ment, which are indications that he is very faithful to his work. We all predict for him the highest position among the l)Usiness men of the State. (Eu.) JoHX William Leggett, Robersonville, N. C. Motto: Slick to your business and you urill succeed. Sow a thought and reap a habit: Sow a habit and reap a character; Sow a character and reap a destiny. It takes only one Icok into his face to convince you that he is a Business man of the world. He has suc- cessfully completed the Bus ' ness course and with his sheepskin under his arm, to be used as a recommenda- tion, we saw him leave Buies Creek Business College to begin his life work. (Eu.) . kchie Edg. r Lynch, Durham, N. C. Motto: O grant me an honest fa nir or iiranl mr mine. Our greatest glory is not in never falling liul in rising every time we fall. Lynch is one of those who takes life easy. He is very foiKl of music, has a natural tenor voice and fully believes in keeping it cultivated. He is a very important mem- ber of the band and orchestra. In all his work he has proved to be a good student, is very active in the differ- ent religious organizations, also a good worker in society, has held .several offices and in each was faithful to his duties. (Phi.) L.WTox .Mc(;u(i. N, Red Si)rings, N. C. Motto: Though your duty may be hard, Look not on it a ; an ill; But if it be an honest task, Do it inlh an honest will. Layton is one of our best boys. He does not try to let everybody know what he is dong or going to do for it explains itself. He is not a very big talker, but a dee]) thinker. In every way you will find him as solid as a rock, and about as hard U, change: however, he is usuallv on the right side, so let him stav there. (Phi.) Frank Spurgeon Masten, Dillon, S. C. Motto: must and I will. No wind aids him who has no deslined port. Frank is a perfect gentleman, and has made many friends during his stay here. He is so polite that he will get up a horse laugh for anyone that will tell him a joke. He is one who takes work seriously. His ideal is that the essential thing for a student is to get his work done and that having a good time is secondary. He is a very enthusiastic society worker, being one of the Anniversary Debaters.

Mattie came from the huckleberry regions of Samp- son. The hours that are idled away by others find This girl solving the problems of school life. Her purpose in Ufe is to help others and through this she has won the friendship of the Faculty and student body. She does not undertake that which she cannot accomplish well. We expect much of her in moving North Carolina from the bottom toward the top in education. (.-Vth.) CARRIE Lilly Page, Dunn, N. C.

Esne- cially this is true with the girls. He always has a kind word for everybody, believes in fun and is going to have his part of it. This is also true with his studies. You can always depend on him for the things that are right, and never be troubled about him, for he is going to make hi-i mark in the world. (Eu.; President B. Y. P. U.)

He is considered to be one of the brightest boys in the class. He does not work any too hard for he can get along without it and always be prepared. Not only is he faithful to the class, but he takes a great interest in his society. He has won many friends during his stay with us (especially among the girls), but we are expecting liim to win more than friends when he goes out presenting his Doctor bills.

His kind and affectionate nature has won for him the friendship and love of all who know him. Swiftness and activity upon the ath- letic field have caused him to be an indisjjensable charac- ter in all games between B. C. A. and other schools. Gift of speech and faithfulness to society duties have made of him a man of whom his society i.s proud. He has not yet decided upon his life ' s work but with all of his natural talents coupled with his true Christian char- acter we feel safe in predicting for him success in any phase of life he may see fit to cast his lot.

Motto: Learning to do, doing to earn, Earning to line, limng to serve. O. A. is one of the most interesting characters in school. He fully realizes his mission here, and does not fail to ask about things which he wishes to know. He is a good student, one that can be counted on to do his part in every good thing that comes along. He is a very enthusiastic society worker, also a good worker in other organizations which stand for righteous living. With willing heart and readv wit he ' s sure in life to make a hit.

Class History WK look upon the day of our entrance at Buies Creek Academy as a time when the AUiatross fell from our necks and sunk like lead to the l)( ttom of that slimy, unwholesome sea; not that our lives have been free from trials and troubles but because of the wise decision we made in coming here. We think of it as a time when we used difficulties as stepping stones and turned our faces upward toward higher and nobler things. And now since our stay is almost ended we feel like thanking the Great Giver that our lot was cast among such a religious people. We are proud of the loving friendship of our Faculty toward us in training us to this, the highest mark obtainable here. We are proud of the standing of the school. But more than all this we are proud of our record. In spite of the fact that by faithfulness to duty many of us have become the so called Faculty pets, we have by making good use of our level heads, filled with plenty of good common sense, made a record that no other class has ever dreamed of making in all of their twenty-six years of peaceful slumliers, since the founding of this institution. Since reaching Buies Creek we have caused all who have known us to .sit up and take notice. We will not mention the many sleepless nights we have witnessed, the countless days of gloomy research and the months of hardships, when the unbroken clouds shut us off from the sky and every page of our text- books seemed as one black mass, but we only ask that you notice the results of such trials. While it reciuires four years to complete the course here there are scarcely any of nur luunbcr who have been here more than three. When one of our members had been here just two terms and the other only one they gained the valued confidence of our beloved Principal and he conferred the honor upon them of being recognized as members of the Faculty. Although they were not the only ones who deserved such honor, tlie only trouble was the positions were not open for us. Ever since we have been here, whenever and wherever there could be a service rendered either to our Principal or the student body, we have been on hand and have gladly given our assistance. As a reward for our faith- fulness to every duty which fell upon us we now have more medals than any other class that has ever graduated here. And as prospects now stand we are sure to get from five to seven this year. By our deep insight into business matters we have wrought changes along the line of improvement which makes our Faculty and all the students proud that we are here. WE have fitted up our Society Halls in such a manner that they are now the superior of any Society Halls in the State and are even equal to the halls in many colleges. Only last year WE made improvements on the academy building that turned its inward appearance into a new structure, WE have taken hold of a few brickbats which by chance were found about th( old brick kiln and today we have a magnificent Girls ' Dormitory. From the dazzling splendor of its well furnished rooms we see lights shining out into sixty-nine counties, six States and Cuba, giving testimony that the fair daughters of the present generation are burning midnight oil within the walls of this building while toiling upward in the night. WE now have on foot plans for erecting a new church building. WE have gotten the minds of the old people to work in such a way that they can almost see the building standing before them. Even in their midnight slumbers they fancy the ringing of the old church bell, and in their imaginations they see the tower with its steeple shining in the sunlight of Heaven and the fair faced youth of the commg generations marching in succession toward this House of Worship. The movement was started only recently and now we have several thousand dollars donated to the cause. Not only have we proven our skill along the building line but when it comes to making new laws and rules of government WE are first class politicians. WE have passed town laws that makes it a crime to drive a buggy across the campus, to use an ugly word inside of the city limits or to expectorate in the middle of any street in town. WE have made new rules of school government which have put the president of the Loafers Club out of business, caused all of the members of that noted organization to stay in school during school hours and in their rooms at night, and made master cigarette go off in the woods and hide. And today we stand at the door of the future. Tomorrow the curtain will roll back and many of us will begin the first scene of the first act upon the stage of life. Some of us will go on to college and prepare ourselves for greater things Some will go out into the business world to act the part which doth become a man. Some will go into the schoolroom to train the youth for better service to the Old North State. And others will go back to the farm, there to make an honest living and do honor to our parents and family. But wherever we are and what- ever we do we will remain true to our motto and meet the world with a smile, conquering and liinding whatever may be the task we will find no stopping place this side of success, and tin- wcirld will reach out its arms to welcome us to its blessings.

He takes up his pen with no thought of play, And in these few lines he hopes to show The destinies of those named below. They are the Seniors of B. C. A. Who in the year ' 13 went their way, And wherever they are in this broad land For the good and the right they take their stand. Somewhere among the Southern hills Burden and Masten are rolling pills. Webster and Fleetwood have joined the band And are curing the sick throughout the land. Mattie Newton and Ina D. _- Are missionaries across the sea, And are faithfully striving from day to day To show the heathen that Chi-ist is the Way. Tally and Pope have both grown great And are proving a blessing to their State, While Cameron and Eakes strive with all thinr might To trample down evil and triumph right. W. S. Wallace and Thomas K. C. Are famous men of our countree; During a recent campaign they were in the race And each won for himself an honored place. H. H. Huff, since he left here. Has become famous as a civil engineer, While .Jackson and Roebuck, we found out then. Arc both famous business men. Swanna and May, among the faithful few. Are striving their Master ' s will to do — And each with modest grace Is filling an honored teacher ' s place. O. A. Williams is growing gray In a State High School that gives good pay. While C. O. Bell somewhere, not far. Is accomplishing much before the bar. C. P. Powers has drifted from mind. But wherever he is I ' m sure you ' ll find That he is doing all he can To lift up his fallen fellow man. Wilson and Morgan, I heard some one say. Arc practicing medicine not far away, While C. H. White on the same purpose bent, An M. D. from here was sent. Among the Pages few you will find That are like Lilly, so pleasant ami kind, And in our State ' s greatest institution She teaches Physical Culture and Elocution. J. W. Johnson was admitted to the bar And as a noted lawyer is known wide and far, While W. C. Downing, so I am told. Is a lawyer too but is growing old. Ada Hamilton, so people say, Is teaching school in the good old way And day by day is doing her best To teach the student Faciendum est. J. R. Edwards is standing for the right And is showing to sinners the way, truth and light, While J. L. Powers is a minister too And is faithfully striving His will to do. Mitchell and McGugan among the rest Are D.D. ' s too and are doing their best, Whatever may be the tide, To preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Next comes Eula, the best of them all; She shirks no task, great or small, While Sudie Fisher and Mattie C. Are faithful in the work of Charity. Let me say, before I forget, That May Surles is li -ing yet And as a stenographer is among the best But is unmarried still, like some of the rest. Two noble orators of our country bright Are E. A. Latta and Kelly White, While J. D. Hoggard is still in the land And director of a noted band. A famous joiu-nalist is F. O. Bell — Whatever he does is always done well, While A. E. Lynch in a Southern State As a musician is growing great. C. L. Leggett, bear in mind, Is as gi ' eat an orator as you will find, While his brother John is keeping books And is still noted for his good looks. And now the prophet must rest In .some quiet retreat, For his task is finished And his prophecy complete. Out From the Harbor Into the Sea Class Oration III (lui- iioridil 11(1 yiiuiifj mall or young woman can lioiic to succocd in any vocation unless llidiiHifilLly ]iii|i:iic ' .l. Till ' (lay of luck has passed, and the day for iintraiiicd ability is no more. The world ' s greatest demand today is for men and women who are prejiared to do things. Real- izing this, we should ask ourselves, where are we to receive this training and at what period in our lives should it come? Tn this there is but one answer: Training should begin in the home while we are mere infaiils in mii- mother ' s arms, and should continue until we are thoroughly prepared for the duties and rcspimsibilities of life. There in the quietness of the home, in the first few years of the life of the individual, are planted the germs of success. But, the home is not the only sorrrce (if help which is open to us. Our country is bles.sed with innumerable schools and colleges where thousands of boys and girls go every year to better lirejiare for life. No age in the history of the world has ever demanded of its men and women such thorough training as now; and yet, no age has ever furnishei.1 such advantages for jjrepa- ration, as this in which we live. Looking back over the long course (if histdry we catch a glimpse of the way by winch we have come, by means of the many men and wonicn who have gone before and rent the darkness of ignorance. As you approach a great city there is first a faint glow on the liorizdn. I lien a kindling bright- ness which is followed by long lines of fire; and, ere long, the splendur of the city is befori ' you. Looking back from the brightness of today we can trace to its source the waning light. As the long lines recede and grow fainter against the darkness, we can see the lamps lighted in the valley of the Euphrates thousands of years ago, the kindling of the lights in the valley of the Nile, the glory of the light of the world as it revealed itself in Judea, the splendor that streamed from Athens half across the globe, across our time, shining to the very end of the age, the jiowerful ray that fell from Rome, the lighting of the lamps at Salamanca, Bologna, Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge. The first intimation of the new world to its discoverer was a faint flickering light (III its shore.

Td(la - they stand pre- eminent as beacon lights to guide and aid the earnest inquirer in his elfdils to prepare for future usefulness. They have truly been called the drill grounds for the future. Bui these alone ca- nol make life a success. With all the opportunities of the present day combined, an honest elTdil on the pari of the mdividual is essential to the truest height. Opportunities present them- selves every day, but unless we grasp them and apprd|iriate them we are none the better.

Wll, ■11 f ' (ir- The great trouble with most people is that they think life too short to give much time to preparation. For this reason so many drift through the world in a careless manner without ever aceomplisliing anything. If wo could only realize that one year ' s service rendered by skilled hands is worth more than yen-- of tiil by uiitraincil workmen, and would adjust ourselves accordingly, what a revolution woulil follovv! Kcnu ' mbcr the thirty years preparation in the life of the Nazarenc for the few year.s work to be accomplished. We are always glad when the time of preparation is over. Thousands of graduates go out from school every year with a keen sense of relief because they feel that e.Kaminations are past. They are mistaken. They are merely entering the period of e.Kaminations. The school has asked: What do you know? Life will ask: What can you do? And life accepts no excuse. Are we, who leave this institution tonight to return no more, prepared to answer this question? To our most worthy Faculty I will say in behalf of our class, that to you has been given the task of impressing dh-eetly upon our minds those truths that may develop the truest man- hood and womanhood of each life, and of implanting in each mind and heart the germs of knowl- edge whose perfect growth may form lives of success, and whose fruitage may be the crowning of well spent hves. How well you have met this responsibility, the present but faintly shows. The future alone can tell how faithfully you have labored in our behalf. We tremble as we leave you, for we have relied upon your wisdom and guidance; here we have sought counsel and assistance from you who have ever been so able and so willing fo bestow it. Now we steer om- little craft out from the hai ' bor, away from the builder ' s hand, and go to b:it I Ic with the waves where there will be none to guide. Our own eyes must watch the compass and scan the chart. Our own hands must hold the rudder. If ever hours of dark defeat and failure come, bitterly will we lament the neglect with which we have gone; and when the banner waves high and the welkin echoes with glad shouts of triumph, we shall think of you and say that to your wisdom and instruction we owe it all. Tonight we stand at the parting of the ways. We come this way no more. ( )ur graduat ion will usher us into the midst of that active life for which we have been iireixiring. Our advan- tages have been above the average. The state, society, and the church will look to us for deeds commensurate with our adantages. We ha c been preparing for bigger things. Shall they flicker faintly in the wind of destiny, or shall tliey shine with steady glow, fanned into a clear flame by the adverse winds of the world? We plant a tree today which will stand as a landmark indicating the end of our labors as a body. Here our friendship has grown into mutual affection, we have drunk from the same pure fountain and have had the same brave thoughts and aspirations. But there is an end to all. It behooves us to steer cautiously as we clear the port and emerge U|)on the surging billows of the sea of life. Think not that all is .sunshine nor that fame will wait upon our bidding, for He who would win must labor for the jirize. Oa.iTOK. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mattie Lois Coggins (Ath.) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was, if not tlie groatr-st, the most brilliant music mniiioser the world has ever known. He was born Janu:u-y 27, 175G, at Salzbiu ' g, Austria. From earliest childhood he was a born genius, and had composed as well as learned many difficult composi- tions before he was six years old. He seemed scarcely to have needed any teaching in the use of the vioUn, but to have played it by a kind of intuition. Ordinary childhood games had little attraction for him unless accompanied by music, in fact, he was more earnest than childlike. Although he was all seriousness wherein his beloved music was concerned, yet he was a thoroughly boyish boy, blessed with a keen sense of fun, a happy contentment and a nature bright and lovable. But nothing in his character is more delightful than his unaffected simplicity and modesty. When Wolfgang was six, his father, a musician himself, realizing the wonderful talent of his son, determined to take him to Vienna. He used to relate how at one point of the journey, when an examination of the baggage promised a tedious delay, the little Wolfgang began to play on his violin to the customs officer, thereby so charming the official that the examination was but slightly insisted on. On reaching Vienna the Emperor and Empress received the Mozarts very kindly. In 1763 they went to Paris, where their successes were redoubled. At the court nf ci ' sailles it was said that every musical connoisseur was lost in amazement at the cliilil whd prrroniied feats such as would do credit to an artist pos.sessed of the experience of a Ions carrci-. . ftcr a tour thi-ough Holland, France and Switzerland they returned home. In 1769 he and his father went to Italy, Rome and Najiles. His reputatic.n ha l piccc.lcd him and everywhere he was received with the same enthusiasm. In 17S1 lie married and tlie short married life was very happy, although he liad a liard struggle with poverty. It was luider strain and anxiety of his financial affairs, mainly felt on his wife ' s behalf, and finm the ceaseless expenditure of mental energy, that his health began t(i fail. The amount of wnik he , lowded into the last eight years of his fife would make it seem as tliuugh he had a presentiment that his time was short. Shortly before his death he composed his two greatest symphonies, of which Richard Wagner said; He seemed to breathe into them the passionate tones of the human voice— and thus raised the capacity of orchestral music for expressing the emotions to a height where it could represent the whole unsatisfied yearning of the heart. Fulfilhng a commission, he composed a Requiem, for whom he knew not, though he felt that it would also be his own. The fore- boding was only too true; six months later, December 5, 1791, he died. Infinitely sad is the close of his life. So poor were they that his wife could not afford even the humblest funeral ceremony. Thus tlie friend of emperors and princes, and a jirinee liim.self in the realm of his art, was allowed to find his resting place in a pauper ' s grave. Mozart has often been compared with Shakespeare, Goethi ' , P.eelhoven, etc., but the truest parallel of all is between him and Raphael. As painting had Iml mn l!:i]ihael, so music had but one Mozart. The value that Mozart has been to the world may liest be summed up in the eloquent words of Gounod ' s: O divine Mozart! How little do they loiow thee who do not adore thee, who are eternal truth, perfect beauty, all humanity with the simplicity of a child— who has felt everything, ex]iressed everything in a musical language that has never been and never will be surpassed. Friendship ' s Testing Ada Hamilton (Ath.) In a certain female preparatory school one girl, Robertta Evans, was queen of the realm. The other girls, Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and even the Freshmen looked to Robertta for coimsel in all things, and she unconsciously ruled them by her will. They nicknamed her Queen Bob. All who came in contact with this bright, impulsive girl, who held herself with such queenly grace, learned to love her, for her life was open as the day. She was a girl of unusual intellect, and possessed the art of going to the bottom of things and, as one of her subjects ex- pressed it, pulling it out by the roots. A Geometry proposition fairly trembled under her master hand. Her Chief Adviser or Prime Minister was Clara Sledge, a girl one year younger and perhaps a little more ambitious than Robertta. Clara ' s nature contrasted greatly with Robertta ' s or Bob, as she was wont to call her. Clara, quiet and very studious. Bob happy and always on the alert. Few girls really knew and understood Clara, because of her studious nature, but Bob discerned in her earnest face something to be trusted. There sprang up between these two girls more than an ordinary friendship, a friendship to be well tried. In this school each year was given an E.xcelsior Medal to the girl making the best grades. Both Clara and Robertta hitched their ambition to this height. Until late in the midnight hours Clara ' s light was ever burning but Bob was long ago in the land of dreams. Robertta was born great but Clara must attain greatness by her own will power, of which she possessed no little amount. There was no doubt but that the medal lay between these two worthy girls, for they were the acknowledged leaders of all their classes. One girl was averaging up fairly well, there was no uneasiness of her reaching the goal. As Commencement drew nearer Queen Bob and her Chief Adviser became more and more attached to each other. Each longed so very much to be able to carry this medal to her mother and hear her say, Well done, my daughter, but both regarded it as selfishness to try to take it from the other. ' Twas examination week; Clara had passed off all her examinations exec] it t -o. These she would stand on tomorrow. She realized, as she strolled alone across the bruud campus, that the deciding time had come. Must she try her very best to make perfect her tomorrow ' s examin- ations as she had the others, and win from generous Bob the medal? No, she would not. The battle was fought; swiftly she walked to the academy. It had been a hard battle for a girl to fight who had worked so faithfully for the reward, but for love of Bob she had won. Little did she dream that on another side of the campus Robertta Evans was fighting the same battle. On the last evening of Commencement Bob and Clara walked, not separately but side by side, their arms around each other. The next day they would leave for their distant homes. There was a note of sadness imprinted on each fair face. Neither alluded to the Excelsior Medal, for thry cciuld not brace themselves for it. Fifteen minutes, a half hour passed by, still they walked in silence. Finally Bob broke the silence, Clara, since I met you first, I have tried to do one single act worthy of your friendship and it seems that I have failed. Failed! failed to be worthy of my friend.ship? A peaX of soft laughter floated through the fresh spring air, Queen Bob, you love me, that ' s all I want. I have saved the best for the last, said the beloved Superintendent, speaking of the Excel- sior Medal after having delivered all the other medals and diplomas. According to my opinion the girl who receives this receives the greatest honor of all. Bob, who was sitting by Clara, gave her a congratulating nudge; Clara smiled and slipped her hand through Bob ' s arm. Ah, well she knew there would be no medal coming her way. Bob would surely be the victor. She could imagine the enthusiastic applause that would be given at the mentioning of her name, everybody loved Bob so much — but here her thoughts were checked; surely she misunderstood, for this is what she heard, If Miss Azalene Vaughan will please come forward and — She heard no more. She fairly stared at Bob, and was equally stared at in return. In an instant it flashed over each what the other had done, wil- fully not won the medal. Unconsciously their hands clasped. This handclasp bespoke a friend- ship far dearer to a girl than gold, even though the gold be crowned with merited honor. None joined more heartily in the applause for Azalene ' s success than did Clai ' a Sledge and Robertta Evans. Juniors ' 13 (?) Seniors ' 14 (?)

Junior Class History OF all class histories, the history of the Class of ' 14 of Buies Creek Academy must be the most interesting. Or at least the members of said class have never felt quite so warm an interest in any other class. Generally the most pleasant happening in the life of the average student is that eventful time when he is promoted from one class to another. The members of the Junior Class indulged in none too little anticipation of this pleasant occa- sion. Before we were organized, each prospective member did his full share of courting the Faculty to ascertain whether he might aspire to be a Junior. Finally, late in the session, after many misgivings and fears, we organized under conditions peculiar to all sub-cla.s.ses in any school or college. Suffice it to say, that we organized with much form and dignity, into an organization which was to be perpetual in itself. His well deserved pojuilarity gave unanimously to our beloved President the office which he so ably fills. Nor is this the onl - position to which he does honor. Think of chapel music without his fine voice! Think of a male quartet at Buies Creek without his splendid bass! Though we must confess to being the smallest numerically in the history of our class organi- zations, we claim without fear of contradiction that we make up in quality what we lack in quantity. In all places of responsibility and trust in the school are found members of the Junior Class, performing faithfully whatever duties are entrusted to them. The band and orchestra claim several of our members, and we also have a right to feel ])roud of one of our young ladies who is quite proficient in piano and another who bids fair to be an artist of no small repute. We have fur- nished during the year Y. M. C. A. and B. Y. P. U. Presidents, and members of our class have also represented, in pul)lic, all the literary .societies. The Senior Class has borrowed from our number a large percentage of its English enrollment. In order that Senior Math, might live, they have taken from our number Snoddy, who began at the first of Algebra this year. In fact, to do ju.stice to each individual woidd be a task for one more able than the writer to ijerform. There would be deeds to relate which none but a master hand could justly por- tra ' . Many a night our deserving members have stayed up long after the midnight hour, poring over their textbooks, to realize later that Xothing is impossible to those who try, for indeed we have succeeded. Success i.s written in the countenance of eacli one and we are satisfied only when we are striving always higher. Long shall we cherish the memories of many pleasures which we have enjoyed during our stay, and the loyalty and love to the Facuhy and school which has ever characterized our class will continue to be ours throughout our Seniorhood. And when we shall at last go out to return no more, often shall we turn back to these dear old walls as — ' ' When the poor exiles, every pleasure past , Hung round the bowers, and fondly looked their last, And took a long farewell, and wished in vain For seats like these beyond the western main; And shuddering still to face the distant deep, Returned and wept, and still returned to weep. Winds of Memory Gently stir, winds of memory. Through bough and burr Wistfully, dreamfully, Whisper! whisper! — - I ' .ring back The old, dear, half-forgotten things; The vales where the April warbler sings. The fields where the summer flower blooms Tlie woods where the autumn cluster clings ■I ' he hills where the winter shadow gloams The joy, the grief, the hopes, the fears — These — yes, these, for years and years. Bring back Gently stir, O winds of memory. Through bough and burr Wistfully, dreamfully. Whisper! whisper! FM TW The Religious Organizations Mattie Belle N ' ewton (Ath.) Buies Creek Academy, through its different rehgious organizations, has given its best self to the world. By these organizations the students have been able to come in closer contact with each other and have been able to get a higher and nobler conception of life. The Sunday School is divided into about twelve classes, the Citizens ' Class, fom- Baraoa, two Philathea, two Intermediate and three Primary classes. The number of students enrolled is about three hundred and seventy (370). Another organization and one that is doing much for the training of its members is the Bajjlist Young People ' s Union. It is divided into four sections and each section into four divisions. It was organized only last year but in that short time has trained and helped its members beyond comprehension. Ne.xt to the B. Y. P. U. is the Young Men ' s Christian Association. In it, as in no other organization, the young men can come in close contact with each other. The influence it wields over its members will never cease to live. Small, but by no means the least in their influence, are the Woman ' s Missionary Society and the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary. The latter is divided into two sections, one composed of the community girls, and the other of the boarding girls. There is a friendly rivah-y existing between the two sections that is very helpful in the training of its members. Equal in all respects to the W. M. S. and the Y. W. A. are the Royal Ambassador and Sunbeam Societies. Tlie work done by these is similar to and accomplishes the same results as the W. M. S. and the Y. W. A. Y. M. C. A. J. V. JoHNSdN (Eu.) Officers W. H. Johnson President W. H. HoLLowELL Vice-President V. H. Andrews Secretary J. V. Johnson Treasurer In no pcriiid of life is a boy ' s religious life tested as in his High School days. Here he is away from the home influences and has to go up against grave dangers in moulding his character. But the Young Men ' s Christian Association at this period extends to the youth a welcome hand. .• lth(jugli our association is young and small yet it is doing a good work. ( ui- religious meetings, with their inspiring Wednesday night talks ami addresses; the Bible Study Cla.sses which meet every .Sunday morning to discuss the daily work, and the other prevailing influences it has in school life are doing much in shaping and developing the religious life of the school and community. Our band is growing each year and we hope the years to come will witness the same growth in boys who will stand by the moral and religious atmosphere of tlic institution. The Eutrophian Society F. I. D. E. S. Colors: Okl Gold and Cream , ' F. S. Masten (Eu.) This Society was organized in one of the classrooms in 1891. It was founded by Rev. W. G. Hall, now pastor of the South Side Baptist Church, Wilmington, N. C. It was founded on the Latin word Fides, which in English means Faith, but to every member it means inspira- tion, enthusiasm, and stickability. When the future looks dark and many obstacles in the way and when it seems that failiu ' e i s certain, the word Fides brightens the way, removes the obstacles, and makes us sure of success, and with such inspiration success is always ours. It had only sixteen charter members, but reahzing the power that God has blessed man with, they knew by persistent efforts it would grow into a large and strong society. It was like a ship let (l ] ii into the harbor and like the ship it has stood the storms, although the voyage has been rough. Our lialk « liii ' li was soon furnished, was destroyed with the building in the tire. But when the new building was completed they again fitted up a hall. This placed a very heavy debt on the Society, but everyone went to work to relieve it of this burden. By these efforts, coupled with the aid of those that have come to us at every opening, we were able to pay the debt Novem- ber 15, 1912, and celebrated it Thanksgiving with a bonfire. We have had the Iiall remodeled, have put new carpet on the floor and made other improvements. It is our aim to rely on hard work and the leadership of an all powerful God in making our Society all that it .should nio:in in tlie life iif each member. Athenian Society SuDIE P. FiSHIOR (AtH.) The Athenian Literary Soeiety was organized March 1, 1900. The girls decided to no longer be surpassed by the . -nung men. There were only ten charter member.?, but each year the num- ber has increased until there are now fifty on roll. Tlicy had no Society Hall, but what is there that a band of determined girls cannot do! ' e tluit live in this enlightened age let our minds wander back in imagination to the first meeting of our much loved Society, ' e jiictm-e them planting the footsteps we have followed, and today the portrait of the first leader still hangs on ovu- wall as a token of our gratitude for the service rendered us. We want, and need, workers. No one is allowed tu ! ■ an inactive member. Those who shirk soon get ashamed of them.selves, and fall in line. Sonic fail to see the need and help of a society, because tlii ' - have never known the benefits of one. The idea of parents working to send their children In scIkhiI while they refuse to avail themselves of one of the greatest oppor- tunities for imiiruvrnient ! Not only do they lose the training, but even the social part of the Society. They seem to be left outside of the circle of students, for the members seem nearer each other than those who are not. Each week they have something to look forward to. The Society gives training which no other organization can give. We all need to know how to express ourselves. How I ' an we reach the to]) without beginning to climb? The Society is the place to begin. There no one ' s mistakes are laughed at, for we are all babes in learning. As has been said before, when the Society was organized there was no Society Hall, but this is true no longer. When the first hall was nearly finished the building was burned. There had to be another beginning. So when the new building was ere.iiil oui- beloved l ' iinci|ial agreed to loan us the money for furni.shing our liall with paper for the walls, eari)et, and opera chams. Each year the Society, by her faithful toil, has paitl back some of tlie money, and now we have great cause for thankfuhiess that when school closes May 15 we hope to be out of debt. We, the Senior Athenians of 1913, hail thee, our dear Society. Others have enjoyed thy fellowship, and are now climbing life ' s pathway. So must we, as a sister trusts her sister to the care of another, place in the hands of others the life of thee, beloved Soeiety. The Philologian Society V.I. C. 1. Colors: Old Gold and Fca Green By a, E. Lynch (Phi.) ,_ The Philologian Literary Society has been organized about sevcniccn ycms. In tlie organi- zation the enrollment was very small. However they were boys that aic mm puttiiifj; into prac- tice the examples that they so wisely planned for us. We feel that their first great work was done while here at Buies Creek although a great deal was done not expecting it to be the help to the number of boys it has been. Especially do we feel indebted to Prof. H. F. Page, who so wisely led to the founding of our beloved society. He now occuiiies a chair in Texas Christian Uni- versity, one of the strongest colleges in the South. The growth of the Society for the.se past years has been exceedingly great in many ways. The enrollment has increased greatly, still we do not consider this as great as the training which we receive while in the society. We try to impress upon them more each year to make use of the opportunity and the need of the training which it gives. The young men are not compelled tn join either of the societies. However, the students see the training the societies offer and wliirh lan be accomplished only through them. Therefore most of the students join a society. There has always existed a warm rivah ' y between them. The new student is by no means neglected, for everybody is his friend, anxious to help him in any way. There is a difference in the societies in many ways. Still when we come together in the schoolroom or on the campus, there is no difference — every one ready to help his schoolmate when he is in need. The societies have a unique .standing in the life of I he selidul not usually held by such organizations. They are the guardian of the students ' life and cliaracter; they enter into every phase of their life. The Philologian Society was organized not alone to be an agent of discii)line and iiinral welfare but primarily to train in debate and leadership. And just how well that task is per- formed in the Society, usually is shown in the schoolroom and also out in the world. We can safely say that members have been more faithful this year than in the years that have passed. Yet it is difficult tt) say anything fundamental concerning one of the societies that is not equally true of the other. They have similar aims, ideals, and methods of working. Their successes have lieiMi aliniit e(|ual; viewed from a broader standpoint their work may be regarded as a unit. .Villi e.ii-li one striving to make his society the best. Washingtonian Society C. O. Bell (Eu.) It has been said tliat The boy of today is the man of tomorrow. That being true I guess it is equally true that the girl of today is the woman of tomorrow. Taking this for granted we have in the little girls of the Washingtonian Society the future women of North Carolina. This little girls ' society has, ever since its organization, been a strong factor in training the younger young women of our school in the arts of expressing themselves, I ' ccit iiig, and in general becom- ing better fitted candidates for Athenians. Now as for the running of this society on the inside, I am able to say but little, for I did not happen to be a little girl when I first came to B. C. A. But I understand that it is run on the same business Hke plan as our other societies, which are second to none in the State of North Carolina or any other State. The Washingtonians are helped by some member of the Faculty or some other older person in the conducting of their society. At present they are efficiently led by Miss Viola Hair, and the superior training which they are receiving is plainly shown by their representatives at all the public entertainments given by the societies. Their mission is a good one and one that should be encouraged by everyone who wishes to see our little girls grow into strong and useful women. The impressions on the young are the lasting impressions; then it should be our motives to plant and encourage only those impre. ' sic ns which tend toward higher and more noble living. To you, Washingtonians, we wish a long, happy, and prosperous life, and may your unstained lianner ever wave high and may the good work you have started go on forever. James Washington Johnson D W IL1.1AM Carlyle Downing Eiuc A.Mu Latt.i Frank SpdrgeoiN Masten Athletics A. E. Lynch (Phi.) The Athletic Association at Buies Creek is not an organization just for the sport there is in it, but we consider it an organization that has a real purjjose. The school is so large it is impossible for all the students to get work to do for exercise. Therefore the Athletic Associa- tion is an opportunity for the students to get this training. All of the organizations have been carefully planned and the ones that have charge are the boys that are interested in the work, and they are doing their best to carry out the work successfully. The drill for the young ladies and young men has always been a great benefit to the student body. It adds a great deal to the appearance of the students. The officers are as follows: C. J. Fleetwood, Captain; R. K. White, First Lieutenant; W. H. John.son, Second Lieutenant; J. (). Tally, First Sergeant; J. D. Hoggard, Second Sergeant. The drill this year has been one of the best. Captain Fleetwood has had several years experience and he is endeavoring to have the best equijjped drill he has ever had. The basketball team has just been organized this year. It is one of the most interesting organizations we have in this department. Captain W. A. Morgan and Manager S. E. Wilson have been very successful with their team. They have developed a team that has never been defeated. And with the heavy men they have so well trained it seems they will continue to hold this record. The prospects for baseball, which has always been the leading athletic sport at Buies Creek Academy, is the brightest it has ever been. We are going to put out the best team this spring that we have ever had. Our boys are busy every iiretty afternoon getting themselves in shape. And you may dei end on hearing from them when they go on the diamond. We have several games scheduled and all of them against teams tliaf arc worthy. Organizatiiin and Line Up Prof. W. F. Snoddv.
