We are conscious of much room for improvement both in subject matter and arrangement, but we feel that we have done our best. We now submit this volume, not on its own merit, but as a representation of what we are, and what we are trjang to be. Realizing that we must soon sever the ties of association here formed and face the world without the friendly advice of teachers and sympathetic co-operation of fellow students, we have endeavored to bring out a book comprehending the full scope of treasured sentiments and memories that surround our high school life. The pleasantries of the class room and the play ground, the air castles of our ambitious youth, the abiding triumphs through which we have been developing — though unconsciously — herein, we trust, are worthily perpetu- ated. Altliough the Pine Burr is primarily the work of the students we have lieeu fortunate in securing some aid, of which we desire to make mention : The car- toons are the admirable work of Mr. W. G. Mcintosh of Mount Airy, N. C. Anticipation illustrated by our art teacher, and the excellent quotations for each society are from the pen of Prof. H. F. Page. We are further indebted to Professor Page for timely suggestions and corrections on many of our writings. The hand of our beloved principal has been seen directing our efforts with paternal care during the compilation of the entire work. All these have been bestowed upon us wdthout remuneration of any kind — except the consciousness of having helped a worthy cause — for which we present the tribute of our most grateful acknowledgments. Antl now, gentle reader, we leave the Pine Burr in your hands. May it, as you turn its pages, impart to you something of aliiding pleasure and benefit. If so, our labors are richlv rewarded.

Winner of Improvement Medal, ' 12; Winner of Best Debater ' s Medal, ' 13; President of his Society, Sjiring Term; Commencement Representative. This handsome lad comes from the city, but he is not made of the same stuff that characterizes so many city boys. When you have a hard ta.sk to perform or a problem to solve that requires downright thinking, call on Banks. His unparalleled success in his high school course is due to his untiring labor, connected with his remarkable ability to see things. Many times his mid- night oil has been burning while others were dreaming of Mama. He joined the Eutrophian Society immedi- ately upon his arrival, and from the first, became one of its leaders. His mind is bent towards the legal profes- sion; he is an astute observer of trifles as well as things of importance, and with his energy and interest in reali- ties multiplied by his college covu ' se there will be a new star in the galaxy of Southern statesmen before another quarter of a century reveals its mysteries.

He is always ready to do what he thinks will be for the betterment of the school. He has not the fluency of speech to make an orator, but will make a far-seeing statesman for his country. He is an admirer of simple coimtry life and ways, and expects to .spend his life cul- tivating the red hills of Chatham County. P a 1 e F II II r I e e it Hector C. Blackwell — (Eu.) Lumberton, X. C.

President Eutrophiaii ment and Dcbaiii sentative; B isiiic Class. A man of wise judgment mingled with a keen sense of Inmior. He has very decided opinions and asserts them in the face of overwhehiiing opposition. As a busi- ness man he is a decided success. His connection with the Pine Burr is sufficient proof of his abihty in that sjihere. The best wishes of the Class go with him. We hoi)e that he will decide to practice his chosen profession law) in his native State. Florence Bl. nd — (Ath.) Cooper, X. C. Motto: The tvhite JInwer of a blameless life. Our best moments arc not glimpses of another world. They are liftings of this world into the light of Clod. Kdilorial Staff Pine Burr. Florence is a girl wlm lia a high ideal. Her greatest ambition is to do godd and i.i liiihten some one ' s burden. She believes in silence c im riully when one is not able to say something worth while. She possesses a quiet, unas- simiing dispostition. She seeks no honors, but is faith- ful in whatsoever is cast upon her. Florence never speaks uiil ' ,i ' ii ' alih alxmt people. Her friends include both fac- ult ami -lu.lcnts. She has been with us for three years, and iliiniif; I hat time has proven herself loyal and has won the esteem of all. Page F if tc en FoNNiE E.

President of Society last half of Fall Term, ' i:!; Testator for Pine Burr, ' 14; Commencement Ueriier, ' 14. She ' s an attractive, .self-possessed gird, ever looking on the l right side of life, pursuing her course with dauntless courage to do all that ' s right and good. In her school career she has won the friendship of both faculty and student body. Fonnie is a very enthusiastic society worker and has held important offices in it. W ' e are con- fident of her success wherever she goes. John Carlyle Burden — (Fat.) Aulander, N. C. MciTTii: Voii for i iiiirscif, i iiit reap for i oiirsetf. Treasurer of his Socicly, Si)ring Term, ' 13; Commence- ment Representative. Big Burden has l)een with us only a short time, yet he has proven that he works while he works and plays while he plays. His face is an index to his jovial nature and is always seen where there is any fun to be had. If you want to see him do his best, place him on first base and e.xclaim Play ball! He is very ener- getic and self-confident, his mind is bent on law, and wlien he has finished his couise be s ill become a mcmbrr nl I he North Carolina Bar.

Poet Junior Class, ' 13; Commencement Reciter, ' l-l; Sec- retary of Senior Class. Tom is the pet of the Senior Class, and as far as looks go the boys say She is fair to look upon ; however this saying is not far wrong. We have found her faithful to everything that she has undertaken. She is bright, ener- getic and full of fun, but her Virgil and Geometry are always prepared, whether she works or plays. Louie Vernon Coggins — (Phi.) Bear Creek, X. C. Motto: Ora cl Labora. I have an engagement with (lod, To answer for all I have done; So may I not sleep in the sod. With aught of my battles not won. Coggins is one of the quietest members of the class, doing good without making a fuss about it. He knows how to sympathize. His consecrated life is an inspira- tion to those who come in contact with it, and one of its beauties is that he is wilUng to be faithful without it being known. He, like the noble Julius Ca ' sar, does not gi-a.sp honors for himself, but waits for others to thrust them upon him. He has been so faithful during his tlu-ee years ' stay here that he bears away the confidence and esteem of teachers and students. He is an enthusiastic religious worker, and as a result of his deep conviction and consecration he has svirrendercd his life to the min- istry. Ralekih Newton Childress — (Phi.) Kaleigh, X. C. Motto; Oii ' r your right hand ti the luifortunalc. My life is a brief, brief thing, I am here for a little space; And while I stay, I would like if I may. To brighten and better the place. inner of Best Debater ' s Medal, ' 13; President of Society lii ' st half of Spring Term; Commencement Rcjiresenta- live; President of Senior Class. Kaleigh Newton Childress is a name well known :ii(iiiiid Buie ' s Creek, wherever he goes he carries a smile of sunshine with him. He is always ready, and willing to lirlp you, when it lies within his power. His chosen pro- Irssion in life is the ministry. Already his deep religious (■(uniction has demonstrated itself in ))rayer meetings and V. M. C. A. work. His record as a society worker is sur- passed by very few. On several occasions he has repre- sented his society as a public speaker. Carlos Benjamin DoMiNr.uBZ — (Eu.) Sta. Lucia, Oriente, Cuba. :Motto: Do the thimi so irelt that ererii one inlt w int l ou to llo it Oljoill. Let us then, be up and doiiin. With a hi ' art I ' or any fate; Still acliicvini; ' , still piu ' suing, Learn to lalior and to wail. In the fall of ' 13 he boarded a vessel bound for Amer- ica ' s shores. Landing at Tampa, Fla., he delayed not exploring her coast, but hastened on by winding routes, as the Spanish explorers, seeking the Fountain of Youth, till he f Hin(i himself knocking at the doors of this insti- tution demanding entrance. The doors were soon ajar and he entered, introducing him.self with all the dignity of Si)anisli tongue, at the same time uttering the words, Tene tluria ma ' s masica. These two words he has since translated, not in English language but in an aei ' u- rate solution of both i)roblems in then- respective depart- ments. Now with a business diploma under his arm, and nMlddir, . n Im- liniici ' lips, plus the affections of his music ii-M ' lii r ,ind I he r ii.cm (jf all Dominicar goes forth to manage llic Liusiness end (jf t ' uba. ' ( ij e E i y It t c a n Clarence L. Fisher — (Phi). Roseboro, N. C. Motto: Ad finem. I hate to see things done by halves. If it is worth doing at all, do it right; if not leave it alone. Fisher is a favorite among the students especially the dormitory girls. He himself claims one of the board- ing girls as his best friend, but since he must be loyal to the government of the school ho bestows his affections on a certain community girl. Although he has been with us but one year he has proven himself true to the best things of the school. From here he goes to college, where he intends to complete the literary work, after w ' hich he hopes to pursue a course in law. FiLADELFO DiOXEDES GaRCI, — (Eu.) Holguin, Oriente, Cuba. Motto: Vince te. In the world ' s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle ! Be a hero in the strife ! Garcia came all the way from tlu cane brakes of Cuba to Ki ' ndu.ilc with the Class of ' 14. He has spent three yi-n- wiih us and each one has been filled to the best of lii aliiliiN. He has proven himself to be a loyal student a[id knuws not what it is to fail. Gosse is known as one of our best Latin students. He has many good friends that are w-atching, waiting, and expecting a great success from him in future years as an M.D. P a ,! e N i . Paul Elliot Greene — (Phi.) Lillington, N. C.

Anniversary Deliater; President of Philologian Society last half of Fall Term, ' 13; Commencement Repre- sentative; Historian for Senior Class. Paul has been with us two years and a half, and dui- niy, this time we have found him faithful to his daily task, and always meriting the confidence repn.-icd in hini. He is a young man of great ability. Books arc his pas- sion and work his recreation. I ifficuUy has been no l)aiTier to his success for he h;is dvci-coinc many. In his chosen vocation in life, as a lawyir, wc- wisli him every success. Willie W. Green — (Eu.) Motto: Trying always to rise higher. Nelson, N. C. The heights by great men readied and kcjit Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. This young man came to us after schixil started, fin- ished his course in the business deparl iiirni and Icll be- fore Commencement. Although his stay was biirf yil he left an excellent record, both in his studies and depinl- inent. No student was ever more attentive, ajiplied him- self more diligently to his studies or bett ' r deserved thi ennfiilence of both teachers and students. In the wdrli III ' business, for which he has carefully preiiared liiiuself lie carries the good wishes of both teachers and studenls If he applies himself In liis Imsiness as he has In lii school work success will be cerlain. V Malissie Jackson — (Ath.) Dunn, X. C. Motto: Never give up. Heaven is not reached by a single bound, But we build a ladder on which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies And mount its summit round by round. Though the subject of this sketch has been with us for only a short time, yet by her earnestness and faith- fulness she has won for herself a great host of friends including both facultj- and students. She is an excellent girl both in and out of school and always accomplishes whatever she undertakes. We feel sure that her life will be a success even under the most trying ciromnstances. Kelly Jexkixs — (Eit.) Roanoke Hapids, X. C Motto: Not fnilnre hid loiv aim, is crime. Kelly is a boy who does things. He has proven his ijcrsevcrance and loyalty to trutli as well as to ir- gil and Geometry. He never gives up, but lives up to his motto. He believes in Duty before pleasure. How- ever, if you want a joke told or a little fiui stirred up. you can count on him. He is everybody ' s friend and lavishes his esteem on all his fcliciu cially a certain dormitory girl, llr of his infatuation and denies himsi If ing on his friend.

She is a splendid student, an acconipli-lied iiiiisni.in. :iii I ' lilhusiastic society worker and a ni.i-i lejie. nl.le .(miiikiiiiou.

Ill hei- liiiiiM ' eiiiiiniiinily or wherever she may take up her abode, we feel conHdent of her success, for she pos- sesses those exquisite qualities that always win, even under adverse circumstances.

Pittman is an unusual character, first, because he is a maiTied man; second, because notwithstanding the fact that he is a married man he possesses as much or even more ability and stick-to-it-iioss as any other member of the class. He is always icady when the opportunity liresents itself to heljj or show a kindness to his fellow- man. We predict for our grand old man a life of isefalness in his cho.sen profession — a doctor. M.

Sizemore, as she is often called by her schoolmates, has been with us only a year, but in that short while she lias demonstratetl her ability as a j upil. She seems to have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and when- ever she is seen, her dearest companion, a book, is seen with her. In addition to her devotion to her school work she is a girl that possesses a deeji religious convic- tion. Thus, with such a fouiiclaliim. we are sure that she will have great success in wlinlevn- fu ' ld of work she enters. Page T w c it t y - I h r e e Henry Thomas Shanks — (Pni.)

A short stay and many friends express Babbie ' s i areer in Buie ' s Creek. An optimistic mood and an ami- able disposition are her cardinal traits. When revers es come not single handed Babbie may be heard to say, cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

P a g c T V c n I y - J! v e )enior Cla si ?|istorp AT last we are Seniiirs; we are nearing our sraduatioii day with joyful antic- ipations. The time when we will receive our reward for weary days and ■ sleei)les.s nights is near at hand. The thdUght is a constant satisfaction to us just as it is to a, worthy soldier after a well fought battle. Though the preparation for linisiiing our work and departure has us well occupied, yet some- times even in the nndst of it, a pang of regret stirs in (lur bosoms; regret at leav- ing the dear old noiiks and corners of the Academy, the old familiar desks at which we have sat and d ig our way into learning ' s .store. iM-en the walls hold sacred memories of days gone l y, and our attachment for all these will never be erased. But the strongest regret arises with the thought of leaving the teachers who have done so nuich for us; surely no student has had better. They have labored faith- fully to give us the best that they had, and our increased efficiency is due to the things they have seen fit to teach us, and tlie example they have set before us in daily life. Our Seniority dates back to the 2()th day of August, when we gathered to- gether for the last time at H. ( ' . A. to take our final step farther up learning ' s ladder before going to college. At that time some of us had no distinct ideal in hfe, (we will admit) but each of us had a miml towards accompHshing something worth while. From that blurri ' d |)un)ose and hazy view of things has arisen before our separate minds an ideal ]iure and strong towanls wliieli we shall strive with e -er increasing determination. Through the struggles in days past we have won triumph after trium|)h. though attenilcd with great difficulties; but our record is one any class might be ])roud to possess. We have not been satisfieil with just simply passing off our work, but we have succeeded in furnishing a grade of work fai ' above the ordinary. Oin- aveiage on class work has exceeded that of any ot liei- graduating class by a large percentage. The record is the more gratifying if we take into consideration the nimibcr of subjects we have been loaded wiUi. Sevei ' al of oui ' members have carried as many as eight or nine stuilies during the gi ' ealer pait of their Senior year, and onl - one or two in the whole class have had less than live. We are sure our record this spring will be e -en better tlian that of l;ist fall. The class of ' b) and ' 14 has more medals than any class before us has ever had. We iriight meiil ion I he mosi important . ( )ne of our members has won tlie ten dollars .-.s the best all-iound student in school. . lso, we are carrying with us ni ' ar a half do en ilcbater ' s meilals, and we expei ' t to win more this sjjring. In the i-eligious affairs of I he school we have |)la ' eil an important pait. ' . .M. ( ' . A., 15. ' . 1 ' . r., and prayer meetings have been held regularly, with a large and ai)i)reciati -e audience present at almost every meeting. The religious life has '  (, V T ,r c „ I ii - .s , X continually been growing stronger. We have kept the work on the new church going on by the co-operation of the school and the community. A new pipe organ has been purchased to be installed as quickly as possible. In the past year the moral life of the town and school has taken a step up- wards. At the first of the year a number of restless Sophomores and Freshmen committed a few small depredations on some of the town and school property, but it needed only a Senior ' s gentle hand laid on their shoulders, a Senior ' s mel- odious voice spoken in their ears, and they would see and turn from the error of their ways. Card playing, cigarette smoking and the more minor evils generally found wlicrc there are numbers of boys have been al)olish( d. In athletics we have accomplished much. By combined effort we have cleaned away a track, and have organized an enthusiastic track team. We have also organized a tennis club, a basketball team; and last of all a sturdy baseball nine. Each of these teams would do credit to any college. One of our class holds the honor of being the best all-round athlete in school; an honor not to be despised, considering the large body of students we have. He has been the win- ner in many contests held in different parts of the State. We must not forget to mention the prominent part we have taken in the music department of the school. We have gotten up plays, musicals and oper- ettas for the entertainment and edification of the public. In none of them have we failed to please. Indeed it has been said by persons who are capable of understanding music and its intricacies, that we have talent destined to be famous. We could mention numerous other accomplishments in which we have be- come proficient, but we have not the space. These attainments we are proud of, and the height of learning we have reached is a constant satisfaction to us. Though we have reached the place towards which we have striven so long, by no means are we satisfied. To-day we stand upon a higher plane than yesterday. We have begun to breathe the invigorating ozone of knowledge, but we would fain drink more. We have caught the smell of battle and nothing can stop us until, with a strong will, courageous heart, and the great weapon of perseverance, we have jiut to flight the opposing ho.sts that surround the opportunities which dot the lantlscape of life here and there, and taking possession of them we shall press on triumphantly to heights of learning attained by few; and there we shall receive the reward of our labors. HlSTORL N. Page Twenty-: :ll trenuoug Crisiisi The very spirit of the times in which we live points to material prosperity. The world has never before reached such a crisis of opportunity to attain perfection. Yet this is not a period for idle men, who seek to live on the bounties which have ah-eady been accumulated, and these characters have but little chance to succeed amid all the existing opportunities of the age. The time has come when the man cannot hope to make the most of life and be numbered among those who stand at the forefront of the world ' s progress who does not seek to thoroughly pre- pare himself for such a place. This preparation is not acquired by sudden flight or by paying the price in gold and silver. He who attains an education and prepares himself for the stern battles of life, secures it by an unceasing zeal artualcd l y his own originality. The great opportunities for development whirli thi ' American student has to day have not come like the gentle breeze, or the quiet and peaceful fall of the snowflake, liut tlie |iillars of every institution of learning tell the stories of strenuous efforts, self-denial ami licmic work on the part of these who have gone before and kindled the torch of knowledge. And if we fail to grasp the.se o))|)iirtunities the great contlii ' t of our forefathers has ended in a failure. If we would hold up the standard of citizenship which has been attained and promote the interest of a noble cause we must realize that no prosperous people are idle, but that strenuous effort and the exercise of every energy is essential in maintaining ideal conditions. To-day there is no great war for independence to inspire us to great deeds on the battle- field, the call for men of warlike fame is no longer heard. The drill grounds where young men once learned the art of war and thereby attained the highest honors, are to-day beautified with magnificent high school and college buildings, where ihousands of young men are gathered to better prepare thera.selves, not for a battle of cannnn hut, Init for the strenuous battle of life, in which a trained iiitellerl is the essential wi ' apon. Our days here have been full of joy and inspiratiiin, yet these |ilcasincs raine to us as rewards fur Ixittling with and defeating the most difficult prolilems nl ' selinnl life.

We have looked forward to the day of gradua- tion, feeling that it would be a crisis of completion in our strides for advancement. But the horn- has arrived, and as we reach forth to clasp the hand of triumph we feel its magnetic sinews impelling us to unravel and put into use those principles which we have labored so faithfully to acquire. The doors of the state, the church and the nation stand open and bid us occupy om ' respective pews. They are calling upon us to wake the deep slumber of careless opinions; to set noble examples; to shame false ideals of life and to make the aims of society more earnest. The life-giving power of education was intended to fit us, not for cultivated leisure, but for manly work. As soldiers in the ranks of humanity we are under the command of dutj ' which allows us no stopping-place short of our utmost capabilities and the best use of the opportu- nities God has given us. I am confident of speaking the heartfelt sentiments of every member in our class, when I say to you, our beloved Faculty, that your teachings and your ideals shall ever stand as a bea- con hght to inspii ' e us to that which ennobles, beautifies and sweetens life. _ For us you have made the world over again, deepened the penetration of our insight and developed in us the ideals which go to make up noble men and women. For this, the holiest service in the world, we have never been so appreciative as at this hour. We now stand at the threshold of an indi- vidual career; for the first time we begin to realize how rugged the path may be, for no longer are we to be guided by your counsel; our own judgment must be om- teacher, we must treat! the path alone. My classmates, we have met for the last time on this hallowed spot where we have mingled and joined hands when the dark clouds of failure overshadowed us. Here we have measured thought against thought, weighed om- talents on the blackboard and in the theme; to-morrow we shall place them on a larger scale to cope with the talents of those who stand and await our coming, challenging us to make the world brighter. Oh! If our souls but poise and swing Like the compass in its brazen ring, Ever level and ever true To the toil and the task we have to do, We shall sail securely, and safely reach The Fortunate Isles, on whose shining beach The sights we see, and the sounds we hear, ' ill be those of joy and not of fear.

P a 1 c T k i r I ! - i i ij li I funior Clasg ftisitorp The year 1913 will forevci- be famous in history for three events — The coming of Loeke Craig to the Governor ' s chair in North Carolina; the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States, and the birth of a new Junior Class of ' U at Buie ' s Creek. It came into the world confronted by problems almost incomprehensible, but soon realized that not all apparently impossible tasks are impossible — a very essential lesson for youth with its untested and therefore unlimited capacities for fame. The first really serious problem was the notable disparity between it and its noted prede- cessor, the present Senior Class. But this with the vigorous growth of months has rapidly dis- appeared, and now that the Senior Class is soon to disappear we are congratulating ourselves on another exemplification of that very just law, the survival of the fittest. Caesar with all his skill as a military leader and eloquence as an orator has, at last, met his match in the phenomenal powers of this class. For the last five months, with the patience of Job and the tactics of Jackson, we have done some masterlj ' maneuvering, and it is now evident wUl soon conquer with incredible swiftness. And, speaking of oratory, the work our boys and gii ' ls are doing in society, the orations and readings so frequently given by them to the edifica- tion of all hearers whatsoever, is enough to make Ca;sar and even Cains and Cicero sit up and take notice. Space forbids relating in detail our triumphs in the various arts and sciences, but since history is a most trustworthy criterion to the future, we feel assured that the fifth dimension and the unknown destiny of the solar system are within reasonable reach of our mathematical genius, and that the lost chord and undiscovered octave arc destined at some near date to thrill the musical world. In athletics we are invincible. Even during the dai ' kest hours of our Juniorhood we were responsive to athletics, and by our untiring efforts won renown. In fact if things keej) happen- ing in the same ratio as they have been happening for the last five months it will take columns under red letter head lines to relate adequately the feats of our champions by the time they reach the summit of the glory of college athletics. Our class is no less renowned for its moral vigor than for its mental acumen and athletic skill. A wholesome atmosj here pervades our constituency. Here you find the same attitude toward society and its complex jjroblems. Industry, fairness and sympathetic regard are its cardinal principles. It contains the perseverance elements — the common salt of the earth without which historj ' is a doleful record of cruelty and corruption. Mth a determination to win yet greater victories for the good name we bear and :i promise to let you heiu ' from US one year from to-day, we address om ' selves confident ! ■ to the tasks of the futiu-e.

Loyal to Duty ' s stern Ijehcst, We, eonquering, hasten to the quest, Till Heaven ' s smiles upon us rest. We may be endoweil with mastery of intellect and reasoning ability, yet accomplishing nothing for the uplift of mankind unless we can express it. A genius may be crowned with the highest degrees from the most efficient colleges; he may have sought into the mysteries unknown and unique to the satisfaction of his own mind, but he has not answered that spontaneous call for men of expression. In this age the conqueror honored with the laurels is no longer the man skilled at arms, but the one who can by the power of speech sway multitudes. In a few high schools and coDeges of to-day the athlete is the contial star. At Buie ' s Creek it is the speaker. Here the work of the literary society is the essential. With this conception four literary societies have been founded. One of these is the Philologian, which, for nineteen years lias gone from triumijh to triumph. Though its hall has once been destroyed by fire, its zeal has remained unqueni ' luHl, and with renewed courage a new hall has been constructed and splendidly furnished. The aim of this society is to train young men to gather ideas and express them clearly and forcibly. How well this end is accomplished cannot be determined here nor now, but in after years. There exists an atmosphere in the society that tends to relieve the speaker of embar- rassment. It matters not how much he stammers, or how ungainly his floor appearance, lie is greeted with .sym])athetic attention — the primary rc(|uisiii ' of ]iulilic speaking.

The Athenian Society is one of the most important factors in the training of young women at Buie ' s Creek Academy. Wlien we remember that it was organized just fourteen years ago, with only ten charter members and no hall in which to meet, we are amazed at its wonderful growth. To-day we have a flourishing organization with a nicnibership of more than fifty girls, most of whom are enthusiastic workers. The society now |)ossesses a spacious, elegantly furnished hall, freed from debt. Much of this prosperity we attribute to our beloved principal, who so kindly nourished us in our hel] less condition after the fire, which occm-red when the first hall was near completion. The work of the Athenian Society consists (1) in h( l|)iag girls to ovcr. ' iiine embarrassment in public speaking, for in society there are just we girls to witness the mistakes, and we do not tell; (2) in developing the powers of expression and (3) in giving an ojiportunity to keep in touch with current events, thus enabling us to discuss them intelligently. The chief aims of our society are (1) to encourage co-operation; (2) to develop women capable of speaking intelligently; (3) to create an atmosphere of friendship by which the gii-ls may be bound closer to each other. We, the Senior .Xtliciiians of ' 14, expect richer service from thee, lieloved society, and we turn our foolslrps ri ' lmiaiil ly lo go our way. We entrust tlicc lo our Sister Athenians, hoping they will 111 ' loyal :iiid will nounsli thci ' tlii ' oughout future years. • ' . ' -. ■ ' i)t Cutropfjian ocietp r. I. D. E. s.

The Eutrophian Society was organized in 1S91, with only sixteen charter members; its founder being Rev. W. G. Hall of A ' ilmington, N. C. Although founded by a few, they knew that indomitable courage and persistent efforts, coupled with the principles for which the society stands, would cau.se it to grow into a larger and stronger society. At its foundation the Latin word Fides was selected as expressing its cardinal principle — Faith. To every loyal member of the society since that time, this has been the supporting element of character inspiring him with hope and enthusiasm; through it many a man has triumphed over obstacles withstanding his progress, and forged forward step by step to the goal of brilliant success. To-day each of the eighty-four members realizes that the power and influence received from this source is doing mucli in shaping his destiny. We owe much gratitude to the members who have gone out and are filling high positions throughout different parts of the country. There is no greater training for the development of those faculties with which God has endowed man, and no part of his equipment so essential as he launches forth upon the untried sea of life, as the development of accirracy in thought and expression. Every year we are sending out men who by their eloquent appeals are doing effective service; are shaping the character of those with whom they come in contact. This power dates its nativity from the hour they come under the influence of this society. The society has incurred some very heavy debts caused by loss in the fire and expenses in remodeling the hall; but last Thanksgiving day these debts were paid and the event was cele- brated by a bonfire in which were placed the notes that we labored long to pay. It stands to-day encumbered by no tlebt (thanks to its present members), and under the guidance and leadership of the all-powerful One, it is our aim to make our society the pride of it.s loyal members and to rulfiU the sacred mission for which it was divinely intended. ' ( ( • ' „ r t !j ■ OTagljingtoninn ocietp Florence Bland (Ath.) Recognizing the importance of beginning early and fc ' ling cmt of place in company with grown-up people, our little boys and girls, some ten years ago, organized a society of their own; more patriotic than some of us, they named their society in honor of the father of our coimtry — the man who never told a lie. From the first the wisdom of their ])oliey was clearly nianifesl. They have won recognition as platform orators and reciters, and are now given the first ))lace (jn tlie program at all public entertainments in which the societies participate. Very often they put the larger ones to shame by theii ' superior training both in articulation and expre.ssion. This society is now under the management of Misses Bryan and Sweaney, two talented and cultured young ladies, imder whom the children study in school. By their efficient man- agement the society is really in better shape than ever before. Every public entertainment brings forward the excellent work done by this society. Surely if we recognize the efficacy of training children in the art of expression while they are yet young, we cannot give too much weight to the splendid character of work done by this society. • ' . ' - ■ ' ; ' ( Carlyle Campbell The one abiding impression that invariably comes Id diic observing the work of our school is the deep-seated Christian spirit that is manifest in all t he activities and relationships of school life. The explanation of this mysterious yet real envii ' onment lies in the fact that the develop- ment of moral character in the individual is made the basic principle of education. The fact is thoroughly maintained that education that does not draw one into closer relationship with one ' s God, that does not correctly estimate the value of life and its bearing upon society, is not gen- uine education. Webster wisely said, If we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and Invc nf fclli) v-nian, we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten to all eternity. Willi this as the central thought this powerful conistraining force must result. The influence of live, aggressive religious organizations has encouraged this .spirit. Many opportunities are given for the development of the individual Ufe, and the hearty support of the student body has been gratifying. The Sunday School with an enrollment of over 400 plays an important part in the life of the school. Although attendance is not made compulsory there are very few who habitually aljsent themselves from the meeting. The Baptist Young People ' s Union is divided into three sections, with a total membershi]) of about 150. It accomplishes much in training for .service our young people. The weekly prayer meeting meets Sunday evening, and opportunity is given tlK.ise who will to take an active jjart in the progi-am. The interest throughout has been fine. The Young Men ' s Christian Association meets Saturday evening in devotional service and Sunday morning for Bible study work. A similar organization exists for the young ladies.

BooE, Srcrclarij ami Treasurer Many opportunities for Christian development have come to those who have put time and enthusiasm into the work of the Young Men ' s Christian Association at Buie ' s Creek Academy during the past year. Special advantages are given to the young men who desire to establish high ideals in the communities in which they will spend their future. The world needs efficient laymen, who are trained for Christain service. The business world has turned away from the standard of moral rectitude to a large degree. There are still many desert places where the morning star of hope and the sun of love have not shone. All these places need trained and devoted laymen to lead in the work of Christ. They need, more than anything, young men with practical preparation along the lines which the Young Men ' s Christian Association teaches. It is significant, therefore, that the Young Men ' s Christian A.ssociation of Buie ' s Creek Academy is training young men from every section of the State in such work. No religious organization has proven quite so beneficial in bringing the young men to a realization of theu ' duty to God, or given them a greater inspiration for the work which God is calling men to do. The devotional meetings on Satm-day night are always an inspu-ation. The young men come together to spend an hour in prayer, song, and short talks by two mem- bers. On Sunday morning the clas.ses in Bible study meet, in which they are this year making a study of the life of Paul. There are also classes in Mission study in which ho yoiuig men are enrolled. May the noble wnik roiilinue to li ' ngthcn its cords and sli ' i ' nglhrn its slakes, uilil the etTect shall be felt in eveiy lnart and linnie that is now nr njay lie repri ' scnteil in Ihc future at this institution. Page F i f t 1 - t ir o ItfjleticsJ John ' Burden (Eu.) A few years ago tlie most conspicuous figure in higli-school and college life was the best debater, now the best athlete claims equal consideration. This is not unduly stressing physical development, but a recognition of the necessity of a strong body in which to build a strong mind. A certain amount of time set aside each day for recreation is not only pleasant and prof- itable but essential. The Buie ' s Creek Athletic Association was organized to promote uniformity and efficiency in the various games now practiced in high schools and colleges. From the first it has toler- ated no idle curiosity, and now, under the excellent management of Prof. Snoddy, it has attained a standard of efficiency equal to some of the colleges. There is more enthusiasm this year than ever before, in spite of the small number here from last year. Although the rules of the school will not permit us to take part in contests that would require time from our regular recitations, yet we feel that if this were allowed we could hold our own with the average. The basketball team is under the careful management of Mr. J. E. Patterson. He has shown marked ability in the development of his team, although some are only young in the game. One very commendable point is the fairness with which they deal with their opponents. They seem to have a motto: Win fair or not at all. Several tennis clubs have been getting in good practice in spite of the bad weather. Tennis is admirably suited for those who have been sitting in the schoolroom all day. We are pleased to report increased interest in this excellent game. For several years we have been having a drill, but this year it has not been taken up and we have in its stead a splendid track team. Although this is the youngest branch of our Associ- ation, the members are getting down to hard work. In running they attempt anything from the lOO-yards da.sh to the Marathon, while walking, jumiiing, throwing the hammer, etc., re- ceive due attention. Last but by no means lea.st is the ba.seball team, of whicli the entire school is ju, lly proud. Since the bad weather has broken up, the beautiful diamond has been but in good shape, the chief rooters have been practicing a little on the sly; some good engagements have already been made and we are looking forward, confidently, to a good series of games this spring.

Handd, the fatlirr of uU musical comiiosprs, was indeed a marvel in the musieal v(irld of his day. His works exercise(l a Ki ' eater influeiiee over I ' nffhsli niusie than diil those of any one of his contemporaries. Handel was born at Halle, in Sa.xony, February ' Jo, 1685. In his earliest iliildhoo l his love for music was so strong that nothing but a musical toy would pacify him. Each year this passion for music grew keener notwithstanding the fact that he was not encouraged by his father, who thought music to be trifling and visionary. By the hand of a sympathizing mother an old clavichord was concealed in the garret, where the lad spent many happy hours repro- ducing selections that he had heard in the church or on the streets. At the age of seven he was taken to the court of the Duke of Sachse, Weinssenfels, whose chapel was famous for its music. After services wei-e over and the congregation had dispi-rsed, a few music lovers remained in Ihe orsan-loft. ' I ' he little Handel was one of tliese and proved to be the center of allfartioii. lie was lifteil to llie .seat of the organist, and with liis face illumined with the music that thiillcd his soul, lie ran his fingers over the key-board and |)ro- duced music that astonislie.l Ins listi ' ui ' rs. Even the Duke ' s nileution was attracted, and eagerly ho sought to learn the little musician ' s name. This incident was the t urning point in Handel ' s life, for Ihe father was |ieisuadcd In let, the boy continue his music, providing his legal course wdiilil not be uiliarupled. (  ii his return to Halle he was in the charge of Zachua, a very proficient musician. After studj-ing for two years Handel was able to take his instructor ' s place as organist in the cathedral. After this Handel was taken to Berlin where he formed the acquaintance of mtuiy musi- cians of eminence. Here he so distinguished himself as a wonderful performer that the Elector offered to send him at his own expense to Italy to complete his musical studies. Again, how- ever, the father, who was ikiw ndvance(l in years, interfered, refusing to submit to a separation from his son, I lie comfort of his old age. Because of this the yotmg musician returned to Halle where he remained with his father until his death, which occurred shortly afterwards. At the age of twenty Handel visited Italy. It was here that he won fame as a skillful harpsichord performer, as well as a great composer. Returning to Germany, he received an invitation to visit England. In 1770 he accepted this and visited England for his first time. While in London some of his greatest works including the wonderful Messiah were written. At the first appearance of this great oratorio the audien -e was so afTected by the niiisic thai all. including the King, arose during the Alleluia chorus. In the closing years of his life, Handel was almost totally blind from cataract. But his misfortune, in.stead of cru.shing his ambition, in.spiivd liiiii to be a greater composer. After a life wholly ilevoled to mu.sic Handel .lied . pnl tith, 1759. With Beethoven the whole train of musicians have silently, if not op.nl, - prochiiincd: He is tlie monarch of the musical kingdom. 1 would bow my head and kneel luiore Ins lomb. P a g r S i x I ; - c i fi h I Martha Sizemore (Ath.) Floretta, you do not realize how eiijf)yalile it is for me to have an outing and the fellow- ship of my friends again ' said Harold, ■ ' College life is gi-eat, but a fellow ' s heart gets lonely. I don ' t see why folks fuss about home and friends, I don ' t care so I have a good time, retorted Floretta, What ' s the use of friends any way? Harold made no answer, but gazed admiiingly at the beautiful reflection of the moon on the ghstening surface of the mighty ocean. Looking from the long veranda of the hotel where they sat swinging, they saw throngs of people rushing hither and thither in search of amusement. It was a glorious evening; myriads of stars twinkled in the heavens and the mournful surging of the mighty waters added the one sad touch to the scene. Through an open window a fussy waltz floated on the night breeze from the parlor. Gay music was heard at the balh ' oom. Why do we not go bathing or to the ball to-night? sug- gested Floretta. We .shall go bathing if you wish, said Harold, avoiding the latter part of her suggestion. Floretta seemed suddenly to have changed her mind and said nothing further about going. Harold, she said, I am sorry that two years of college life has made you so narrow. I believe in one being good enough, but you need not be a fanatic, you can not have fun in gay company and be so rehgious. While I am at Barclade I shall do as the ' Barcladians ' and have my share of the fun. You will not find it a wise plan to follow the multitudes, Floretta, moreover — Hen- Harold was interrupted by a gay company returning from the ball. Floretta bade him good night and, accompanied by some friends, hastened to her room. Who was the young man with you, Flo? asked Guydna Adams. Oh, thai was Harold Payne, an old playmate of mine. We used to live next door to each olher. He went away to college over a year ago and then spent a vacation at a famous summer resjrt up North, so I had not seen him since his departure until today. He came to spend some time not knowing that I was here. How queer, but you shoulil have taken him outto-nighl. The dance was perfectly aihjr- ablc, declared Guydna. Flo, you should have seen that horrid lillle Dorothy Day trying to do that new dance in all lliosc frills. Isn ' t she horrid? Yes, agreed Floretta, and she thinks she ' s the center of fasliion as well as th e center of attraction at Barclade. Those frills and crimson gowns make me sick, commented Mary Brown. This conversation of gossi]) was iicrfcctly agreeable to Floretta, who had been spoiletl by an indulgent mother. The father died when Floretta, the only child, was eight years of age. Mrs. Devasse, having had a fortune left her, had lavished freely on her daughter, who was natur- ally talented and promised to become a famous musician. Floretta went to college and spe- cialized on music and art, and so successful was she that her name wont throughout the school as the most popular musician and her voice was ah-eady acquiring prima donna qualities. Harold Payne was born of rather wealthy parents whom he never remembered. His in(jlher died when he was very young, and at the death of his father several years later his grandmother took him to raise. When he went to college he became interested in the social conditions of his college city, il crest grew until he decided to devote his life to social uplift. As time passed on Harold ■ settled in his work and Floretta was passing through her Senior year at college. spite of Floretta ' s pointed ways there was one of the student body who was interested :ind wished to meet her. She .saw great pos.sibilities in licr. One d;iy in early spring as Floretta was strolling along a Ihjwciiiig hedge she suddenly ai)i)roached some one who was studying. The stranger looked up from her book and smiled. Enjoying the Vjeautiful, are you? she said. Yes, responded Floretta, pleased at the friend- liness of the girl who, as she afterwards learned, was Margaret Winfree. A few evenings later I ' a (J e S i X t y - ti i n c Th bc( •an ill I hel there was a rap at Floretta ' s door and in walked Margaret. Miss Devasse, I have come to ask a favor of you. What is it? que.stioned Floretta. Her guest continued, Our Y. W. C. A. is planning to give an entertainment on next Friday evening in some destitute part of the city and we want you to sing. I have no experience in such .service, Mi.ss Winfree, responded Floretta. Of course you wiU begin now, said Margaret. No, I think not, Miss Winfree. Mother would not aiJiJruvc if I should olitain my own consent. But, persisted Margaret, you might be a great blessing to some one in so doing. There are people there who would rise had they an opportunity, you know — ' Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. ' This trutli (luotcd by Margaret touched Floretta ' s heart. Our greatest men have come from the slums, she assented. Ilielieve Fll go, Miss Winfree. Oh you dear, said Margaret, giving her a tight hug as she di. ' jjarted. Harold Payne had gone to that section of the city to do philanthropic work. He was in the audience the night that Floretta sang. He recognized her as she entered the stage attired in blue, while an elaborate scarf gracefully draped at the shoulders fell about her gu-lish figure. How beautiful ! How innocent she looked ! The audience wept as she sang a sacred solo. Harold was completely moved. He loved her. Floretta, said Margaret after reaching her room that night, you shoidd join us in this work. Your voice would mean so much to these people. Margaret Winfree, to think of me living under such conditions. Please don ' t talk of me missionary ing; why I am a heathen myself. Immediately after her graduation that spring Floretta went to Europe in order to avail herself of better opportunities for her cherished career. There she reached the climax of her ability, but as she was debating a stage life she received the intelligence of her mother ' s death. During her voyage to America Floretta saw herself as she was. She realized the emptiness of her life and resolved to be more useful. Floretta Devasse really had a sympathetic heart. She was only A rose with little wilful thorns. She became interested, in the face of her own sorrow, in some immigrant passengers in the steerage who were traveling under bad circum- stances; she understood what conditions must exist in these slums where so many immigrants lodged. She sang for these people on board the vessel. She thought of the emptiness of a stage life. She was looking for a plan of service, and that was lier opportunity. Floretta Devasse went from licr mother ' s grave to a destitute section of a large city and labored for social uplift. Shi- had not been long in her work there when she again met Harold Payne, whom .she had not .seen for three years. His grandniotlLer hail died wljile Floretta was in Europe; both had undergone similar bereavements. In the late summer Harold again met Floretta at Barclade lirai-li. He had nut been there since he went to study the social conditions and found Floretta there, then a frivolims girl of eighteen, he a sturdy boy of nineteen just from college. One evening they sat in the swing. They remembered that night five years ;igo when they sat there — Floretta remembered with regret. The night was as glorious as was that night. The moon shone; myriads of stars twin- kled; the surging waters moaned. Harold turned facing Floretta. He could no longer conceal in his heart his love for her. Floretta, he said as the swing ceased swaying, I love you. I have loved you all tliese years. I am now without relatives and so are you. Both of us are lonely. Can wr not hll tlie vacancy in eacli other ' s lives ' ? Harold, I liave you only to live for siui-e mother is gone, gently sobbed Floretta as tlie surging waters moanetl on.
