Campbell, Faculty Ivlitcir Cbitorial Being conscious that time, though gentle, yet firm, will soon sever the ties of association and co-operation of both teachers and students, we present this the fourth edition of the Pine Burr, a culmination of the various phases of our school work, as a memento of the Class of ' 15. We have endeavored to inake this book a true mirror of our many-sided activities in High School. An insight into the humorous as well as the serious life of our school family may l)e seen. Truly, one can read from the following pages the various ideals of our ambitious youths and what we really are. I take this opportunity of thanking those who have given me their assist- ance in collecting the material for this book. Especial credit is due our Faculty Editor, Prof. A. C. Campbell, who, together with his father, our beloved prin- cipal, have guided our feet from many a pitfall. Our thanks extend further, to Mr. H. B. Easom, our efficient Business Manager, who by his untiring efforts has successfully directed the financial side of our undertaking. To Miss Eaton, our Art Teacher, we vote our sincere gratitude. Her class has enhanced our book greatly by splendid contributions. Our editors, though far from perfect journal- ists, have produced material of which we are proud. We admire the Class of ' 15, and justly may we esteem it. First, because the class is ours; second, because events have happened during our session which will never occur again in the his- tory of the school; third, because it is the only Senior Class in which we have ever experienced the pleasure of being enrolled. We leave in your care the Pine Burr in rememljrance of your High School friends and acquaintances and what they are striving to attain. If, as you glance through this volume, you receive some abiding pleasure and profit from the perusal of the jiages, then our labor has been worth while.

He does not believe in squandering time; how- ever, if you want a joke told or a little fun stirred up, you can count on him. It is his endeavor to play his part well in the world of liusiness, for which he has care- fully prepared himself. He carries the good wishes of both toaclicrs and students. • ' RascoE BuTi.Eii (Phi.) Chnton, N. C. Motto: Be vtinl ijmt arc cut nut to be. No power on earth, nor under the eartli, Can make a man do wrong without his own consent. Roscoe, often called Booker T., is not understood by everyone.

He expects to study law, and when he has finished his course he will prove his ability at the North Carolina bar. Mart K. CAm-ER (Ath.) Rougemont, N. C. Motto: Strike high even if you fall low. There was never a night so weary and dark That the stars won- ii l nmrwhere shining; There is never a cIimuI ,-o Iii:i v and black That it has not a silvrry lining. Polly has been with us less than a year, but in that time she has proven worthy of the esteem and love of all. She has been loyal and faithful to the school and her work. Mary looks ever on the bright side of hfe. Come what may, this girl does not bend or frown be- neath the load, but instead, carries a smile and is cheer- ful all the way. Slie finds a place in all religious organi- zations, doing all the good she can without making a fuss about it. In China or the jungles of Africa is a field awaiting her story of our Christ. €% ' m Agnes Lee Cox (Ath.) Buie ' s Creek, N. C. Motto: Beauly is truth; truth and beauty that is all yc have in this world and all ye need to have. Agnes, as she is known :iniuiii; lui- Mliodlmali ' s, is a resident student.

Motto: Trulh conijiurs nil things. Sow an act, reap a habit ; Sow a habit, reap a character; Sow a character, reap a destiny. Dawes, as he is generally called, is a young lad just entering manhood. He accompUshes things, but not in a haphazard or unsystematic way. He is a briglit, studious young man who always seems to think before acting. We predict a bright future for Dawes and extend to him hearty wishes for success. Henuy Buow.n D.vy (Eu.) Winston-Salem, N. C. Motto: H ' io dues not. ndoniicc, falls tichind.

He is a fine cornetist and is well known among the Viand boys. In his chosen voca- tion in lite, as an optician, he has the best wishes of the class for his success. Carlos Benjamin Dominguez (Eu.) Sta. Lucia, Oriente, Cuba Motto: Step by step we gain the heights. Tile man that hath no music in himseU, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. In ' 13 this young man fii ' st saw the nemasity nf a sen- uine education; and after some cnn-i,!, r.ition iv:ilizr,| tliat he would have to cross the mi lii) ilnp m cudn i i thor- oughly prepare himself to face tiie battles uf hie. He boarded a vessel on Cuban shores, which soon gave him entrance to American doors. During his short stay of two years with us his noble ambition to do things has convinced every teacher and student tluit a brilliant future lies before him. 11. Behnaud Easom (Eu.)

Lillie, or ' ' Hanip, as she is sometimes called, is a girl faithful to her woi ' k and to her friends. One never sees her idle. She is thoroughly devoted to her society work, wiiming the Athenian Improvement Medal in the spring of 1912, and serving lier society in several important offices. She has represented it on several occasions and is a Representative at this Commencement. Lillie is a conscientious, unassuming girl, trusting and hoping through every trial. We hope she will have as much suc- cess in her future life as she has had in her school activ- ities. Wr W Lillie Cornelia Harper (Ath.) Louisbui ' g, N. C. Motto: Do unto other unto you.

Lottie Frances Harrell (.Ath.) Marshville, N. C. JMoTTo: Dum vivimus, rieiiDtus. Frank, ;is everybody calls her, is a jolly old girl. If there is any pleasiu-e or fun to be had, you find tliis girl going after it. She studies when the spirit moves her. In E.xpression she has made a strong hit. Nature endowed her with this accomplishment and she has devel- oped it wonderfully. Though undecided as to her life work, we predict for her a successful future at whatever she strives to do, for Frances has that talent which never fails to apply itself. Truly, her ways are ways of pleas- antness and all her paths are peace. % Irene Mabel Hatcher Buie ' s Creek, N. C. Motto: Help iiic to fed anoiher ' s woe. SIi This is till ' sili ' iit vr of (h..

CeUa, or Ted, is our Australian-American girl from China. She has been with us only one year, but during that time she has won a host of friends, the confidence antl esteem of faculty and students. No one can stay around her long and be blue, for her optimistic attitude or natm ' e seems to be contagious. Celia makes high grades on her work, and holds positions of honor both in her class and in her society. But the most attractive thing about her is her lovely, consecrated character. We wish and feel confident that she will succeed in her chosen work in following tlie e.xaiiiiile of her father and mother by carrying the tiospel to those in darkness beyond the sea. Gordon R. Herring (Eu.) Motto: Nil sine nnh Cheng Chow, Honan, China From faraway China comes this l)right eyed, dtirk haired lad. He has a high ideal, as can readily lie seen liy his motto. During his shoi ' t stay with us he has shown his true character in being one of the most loyal students in school. While he is not one of oiu- greatest orators, he has the distinction of being a natural born artist. One touch from his enchanted brush and you have a likeness, Iwo and you have a form, three and you have a living person. He now goes forth with his art diploma in his hands. In the future we expect to see some of the world ' s masterpieces bearing the inscription, Painted by _tor- don R. Herring. William Hexry Hollowell (En.) Edenton, N. C. Motto: Poiiar xd i oliar. Hollowell is our utility man. If you want a leader for a yell, a comedian, a basso, an orator, a religious leader, see him. He is a consecrated young man interested in all the activities of school life. Gifted with the power of wirming friends, he retains them by the sincerity of his life. We wish for him the same appreciation and recog- nition among his futuie comrades that he has deserved. Dkexel Morg. n Holt (Er.) Princeton, X. C. Motto: Tamlein fit surculus aHiar. Holt is a handsome young man, n renders himself very niiiMitive by his quiet, mannerly ways. He is one who dni ' s ' z 1 without trying to make a .show of it.

His favorite subjects are Latin and English. In these he stands at the head of his class. He delights in studying Languages and Literature and we expect his name soon to be placed witli those of the leading literary men of North Carohna. Edw. ud H. wki.ns Jones (Phi.) Oxford, X.

Men who trample elf I.eneath them, Men for couiili.w home and Clod, Men who for duty ani-l honor ' s sake Stand fast and suffer long They build a nation ' s pillars deep And lift them to the sky. Hawkins may not appeal to every one, but intimate acquaintance ilevclops a genuine appreciation of his wortli and aliiliiy. He is a loyal and faithful member of his soiieiy a well as of the .school. He stands for the upriglit and lioui-st things of life. Hawkins has come to the conclusion that it is his duty to till the soil. He has the cordial wislies of the cUuss for unlimited success.

Pay goodly heed, all ye who read, And beware of saying, ' I can ' t, ' ' Tis a cowardly word, and apt to lead To idleness, folly, and want. Massey has not been with us long enough for us to find out the real quahties of manhood which he posesses, yet he has proven his ability to do tilings by the record he has made. His higli ambition could not be at ease until he hinl won llii ' rdiiliilrnce of both teachers and students, Mnd liikrn Ins si.nnl in the foremost ranks of his fellow si-liooliiiiiti ' s. As ;i young man his equal is not to be found everywhere; liis daily walk of life is only the medium through which a noble character is revealed.

Her name associated with the Class of ' 1. ) lends dignity and esteem to the organization. 8eklom do we find a char- acter who can do the work which she has so successfully and easily carried this year. Reaching the zenith of her literary career here in ' 13, she was not satisfied, and has since been chming toward the goal in Expression. We believe she has pursued the proper vocation in life, asso- ciation with her will verify this fact. Singularly modest is she, too, with regard to her achievements — and thej ' are many. And when she speaks, the angels stop to listen. Her adaptability added to her sincerity lias won her a host of friends. Albert R. Quinones (Eu.)

Motto: Man, know thijaelf; all wisdom centers there! That man must daily wiser grow, Whose search is bent himself to know. Roscoe is a name that sounds verj- familiar around B. C. A. For two years he has been a loyal student here. He has been faithful in the performance of his daily tasks, loyal to the government of the school, and a very enthu- siastic society worker. He is a clever young man, yet very precise. His appearance seems to ask, How does my pompadour look? He has shown his abihty to ilo things, and we predict for him a successfid future in whatever he undertakes for his life work. 1 Verd. Garnett Stewart (. th.) Buie ' s Creek, N. C. Motto: To be rather than to seem to he. I ask not wealtli, but jidwci- to take And use the tilings 1 liave aright; Not years, but wisdom that shall make My life a profit and delight. This is one of our home girls. She has been reared here and has been found faithful to her duties and to her school. When quite small she distinguished herself as a reciter and won a reciter ' s medal. One of her con- spicuous characteristics is frankness. Her wit and elieer- fulness have won for her many coniiianions. There is not a more generous, kind-hearted girl in our school. Whatever Verda undertakes she puts lier whole self mto and goes at it with a will. Edward CIilmek Sutton (Eu.) JotTerson, S. C. Motto: We are known by our character. Good, better, best, never let it rest, TiU the good is better, and the better best. Sutton found his way to Buie ' s Creek a few years ago. He was here only a short while then. He went to Mars Hill last year, but returned to this institution at the beginning of this spring term. During his sojourn here, he has won the aifection and confidence of the faculty and the students. He is brilhaiit and utilizes liis time to the best advantage. Bailey T. Tally (Eu.) Angier, N. C. MoTTi): Esto (jiiod case mderis. Make every moment count for the most for God and humanity. This young man has been with us two years and during this time he has been found faitliful in his work and true to the school. His recitations are well prepared as a rule even though his work is very strenuous. He is a person of marked ability and Math, and Latin do not trouble him, for difficulties to him have an attraction. He is also a very helpful member in his society. Tally is an earnest religious worker and is ever faithfid in the per- formance of his dutv. Whatever vocation he shall decide to choose «v .■lie e,,nlident tluil he will ilo his best.

To be alive in every part of our being, To realize the possibilities of strife, To become all we ' re capable of becoming, This is the real aim of life. When before our fire.sides long in the future. We shall sit, aged and gray, Pondering the days of long ago. We shall think oft of B. C. A. Recalling stories of our younger years, Our gray heads will lift and our dim eyes will beam Wlien we fell to our eager youiii; listeners, Of the glorious year of iiineleeu and lifteon. Call to erbice The time luis come when every man must push forward if w liopes to ecjuip his mind with the substance which the world demands. The world today is call- ing for men who can do things and do them intelligently. It is pleading for leaders in every line of human activity. It is looking for men with trained minds and ready hands. The very atmosphere in which we live is charged with inspiration for greater accomplishment and larger fields of endeavor. This inspiration hardly comes to men who are idle and self-contented, but it comes to those who are on the alert for opportunities, however small, men with strong bodies and minds trained to take hold of problems and solve them. The world today needs trained men. The great feats of the twentieth century in engineer- ing, business and statesmanship have been accomplished by men trained in their lines. The idea of the Hudson tunnel did not spring full grown from the mind of William G. McAdoo, but by reason of his training it evolved into a practical reality. The Panama Canal has been a phantom since the time of Philip II of Spain, but it took the training of Colonel Goethals to mingle the waters of the placid Pacific with the billowy waves of the eastern seas. In the heart of our greater city the highest building in the world pierces the sky as a monument to the trained mind and business aljility of Woolworth. It is true that the training of this class is not equal to that of IMcAdoo, Goethals and Woolworth; it is true that we may not be called upon to dig a canal or bore a tunnel, but it is equally true that every member of this class can return home and put what training he has received here into terms of actual service. For four years Buie ' s Creek has given us her best training, expecting us to go home and try to make it a better place in wliich to live. If the training received here means what it should, we ought to hv. better able to serve our State than when we entered these walls. We may not be called upon to settle problems of national import, but questions of community welfare and progress will be ever present. In the South today we have a great problem in economics. The request is tliat we try to remedy the overproduction of many crops. W e should be able to get in sympathy with those trying to change unsound conditions and instill a clearer perspective. Abroad in our State stalks the great giant of ignorance. With the armor of added strength obtained here we should enter the fight against ignorance and try to raise North Carolina many rounds up the educational lad- der. In every phase of the State ' s life we should enter with more intelligence and added strength because of our training here. Back home there is a call for leadership in some line of community activity. The community has a right to expect those who have had advantages to respond to that call. Shall the Class of 1915 go home and be content with the little each one can do in tlie coniniunity, or will each one wait for the call to a position of honor before he responds? Shall we get behind our communities and push and try to get on top? With the train- ing we have received here will we aspire to a position of leadership or will we bo content to drift? Tonight we stand at the first mile post on our educational development, won- dering, many of us, whether next year we shall enter the walls of some college or matriculate in the grim, unrelenting University of Life. But, members of the Faculty, wherever another year shall find us we pledge you that your teaching shall not go for naught, that the ideals you have instilled shall live on and that the training you have so patiently given us shall be so used that you will be proud to call us your own. The Class of 1915 leaves you tonight and in leaving There is a word of grief the sounding token, There is a word bejeweled with bright tears, The saddest word fond lips have ever spoken, A little word that breaks the chain of years. Its utterance must ever bring emotion, - ' The memories it crystals eaimot die, ' Tis known in every land, on every ocean, ' Tis called ' Good-bye. ' Senior Clas;s istorp The record of the Class of 1915 is that of a natural, harmonious development from uncouth Freshmanhood to dignified Seniority. The following record, though brief and incomplete, furnishes a few facts showing our class one of high standing and unrivaled strength. Since Freshmanhood we liave lost some from our number. Some upon their return to the old home found the attractions there greater than here; some have wandered the Pilgrim ' s way; and some in their roving have been caught in the net of matrimony. But these lost links have been filled in with twenty-four carat metal. Perhaps the most illustrious of these is Booker T. Sometimes this question arises in our minds. Could we have maintained our normal Seniority and dignity had he not chanced to join us? His initiative work has led the class into many new ideas; he was leader of all explorations into fields of experiment in arranging and getting up groups for the Annual. And no t only has he been an indispensable factor in our class, but the Faculty is greatly indebted to him. His well taken remarks and suggestions in the classroom have been ciuite a resource to the teacher when his storehouse of knowledge was about to be exhausted. It ' s great to be great though sometimes it may grate on others. We are indebted, also, to several previous Senior classes for handing down to us Mr. H. B. Day. He has been accused of aiming at nothing, and some say he always hits the mark. We can safely say he ever keeps his motto, Cut every class possible and keep the teacher in the dark. Though every member of our class is not noted for high marks, yet taking in consideration all phases of school life, we are not surpassed by any class that has passed this way. Why should we not be great, when several states and Cuba have been sifted to get the seed for this plating? Ours was not an ordinary Senior Class. We were quite different frcuii all our predecessors. For why be like other classes? After three years of tlifhculties, disappointments, and struggles, w( entered the Golden Age, the .■oonnuiin honum of high school life, when ■■Just lij exist, Is iintcild l)liss. We have become Seniors. As we stand on th( proud I ' mineuce surveying the lower regions of nu ' diocre life the thrilling words of Tennyson often come to mind: And I would that my tongue could utter, The thoughts that arise in me. There must be individuality and genius always marked by its eccentricities. We have some members in our class who have worked out a device for bringing the European War to a speedy close. We have some members who have worked out a propaganda to offer to the world by which all international disputes will l)e ever afterwards settled automatically. The day of great things for this planet is not far in the future. America and the world will stand hereafter a hopeless debtor to Buie ' s Creek for the notable deeds which will be done by the Class of ' 15. In the various organizations for the promotion of religion we have been active. The Y. M. C. A. and Mission Study work has never been attended with quite so much interest as it has this year. Tlie society work has taken on new life and interest not known heretofore. Some of (}ur rough, coarse, country fellows have developed into real polished speakers. Our oratorical contestants are examples of our prospective North Carolina orators. In athletics we have figured promi- nently. The basketball and baseball teams have been strengthened greatly by men from our class; and tennis has bocduic an afternoon pastime for both girls and boys of our class, whose records would do credit to any high school. Though we have had ideas of our own and allowed individuality to play a great part in the history of our class, we have stood firmly together in co-operat- ing with Faculty and student body, in standing by the government of the school and conforming to every regulation for tlie ])romotion of high morals and for raising high the standard of our lieloved sclionl. W ' c have not had froc|uent meetings of our class, but when a meeting was called jiractically every member was present ready to stand l y any movement for the interest of the class and bet- terment of the scliool. As a class, we have i)lanncd our work and worked our plans. Our history has liecn made, and though this, llie 121 h day of May, brings to a close the history of our class, we trust it ' s only tiic beginning of a life for each one of us that will do credit to our Alma Mater, to oiu- country, and to our God. We now pass out from these halls, where by our knightly deportment and noble deeds we have made a host of abiding friends, into the stern Init gloroius battles of life. We enter this larger arena neither with joy nor with sorrow, but in that wholesome, optimistic spirit to which Browning gives utterance in his triumphant: Grow old iilong witli me! The best is yet to be— The best of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith a whole is planned, Youth shows but half; Trust God; see all, nor lie afraid. Historian. Cla£(s ropfjecp O iXLY a few words arc necessary to explain why I am alilc to give some true facts con- ccruins tlie life of each member of the Senior ( ' lass. You have known, no doubt, that our govern- ment lias had men doing excavating work in various jiarts of the world. A recent discovery of Professor Mardin has brought to light a very unique collection iiF dictionaries. Each dictionary has its respective nalion to deal with, giving the life of each person. As to when and by whom these prophecies were written we have no way of saying. On account of the fact that the time at my disposal for vising these dictionaries was limited, I was forced to jot dowii only those things that are of interest to my fellow members of the Senior Class of ' 15. I take the names al))hahetically, as I have copied them, tlius hoping to avoid that unnecessary svis])ense in which you may be held trying to find your name. Butler, R. C.

Easom At another relay station in life we stand, Musing o ' er our records, but to no avail; The deeds of yesterday are as an explored land, For there we have searched for the Holy Grail. No more our past opportunities can be remised, And the only resort is to profit by same. For we cannot hope for our records to be revised, Yet we are proud to have preserved our honor ' s name. Pensively, yet intermingled with gladness, We survey the future in all walks and phases. And to think of leaving encourages sadness, The place where love for mankind blazes. To rend our frienclshi]) we reluctantly decline; Such strong ties, no, can never abate; Of thy watchful duties, we cannot repine, But instead will cherish thee in moments sedate. Our deepest trust does not, could not, waver, When our ej-es to a retrospective view we unmask. For no fault of thine has caused us to lose favor In thee, who didst guide us through every task. We would not change thy present channel, Could it lie in our power to form The pages of thy future history ' s annal, Thou a refuge from illiteracy ' s storm. Though clouds did ofttimes upon us affuse, Towering o ' er us along the path of learning. Yet a silvery lining was always profuse. When we turn to thee for aid. yearning. But oh, what retribution will ever repay thee. For the principles into our lives thou didst grind? Can any compensation symjihonize the true key. Except, Better .service to all mankind ? So with this motto we jjass the harlior bar, A ' ith sails afloat on the sea of life; And to our Alma IMater we say au revoir, Promising to be heroes in the strife.

Upward, onward to renown; Upward, onward, we are striving One year hence to wear the crown. Junior Class J|istorp On the 27th daj ' of August, 1914, our predecessors, the present Seniors, evacuated and left to us the position which they had by indomitable courage and persistent effort transcended. It was then that we, with the dauntless ambition of Napoleon and the exalted ideals of Pericles, sedately placed our emulating feet on the Junior round of the Buie ' s Creek ladder of fame. In spite of the calamitous conditions brought upon us as a resultant of the great struggle in the East our class has not been at all diminutive, as might be supposed, although not our numerical strength, but the dominating spirit is the thing by which our merits are measurable. The generosity and courtesy of our class must be mentioned. We believe every member to be acquainted with old time Southern chivahy. The zealou.sness and congeniality which are prevalent in our midst are sure to win for those who will DO, honor and renown; and when they .shall depart they will leave behind them foot-prints on the sands of time. In atheltics our boys and gills are conceded to be leaders. On the basketball court Shelton Harrell and W. H. Odum are vindicators. In speaking of tennis playing we are always reminded of the dexterity commonly exliibited by Millard Booe, Joe Edwards, Norman Hedgepeth, Gordon Herring, D. A. Harris and others, including numbers of the girls. It is needless to mention other games, for in all afliletic sports, as well as those named, among the most nimble athletes are the Juniors. Patience, we believe, is one of the essentials in doing things. D. . Harris has already manifested this characteristic of greatness by his Job-like perseverance in holding the bag for snipe in a ditch the larger part of a frigid December night. The icy air bit his ruddy cheeks, but in case he shall ever rhanre td encounter another such emergency, he will save his admir- able visage from the frost, for lir is now developing a very luxuriant set of mustaches. In the .societies this class ))lays a very conspicuous part. In all public functions rendered in the auditorium our class is always represented in such a manner as to bring to it celebritj ' and honor. This fact was obviously manifested on the evening of the 6th of March, when I . L. Yearby and J. S. Edwards represented the Junior Class in a public debate. The influential oratory displayed to the edification of their hearers was cogent enough to cause the cad.iver of Demosthenes to turn over in its tomb and marvel and wish to participate. Limited space necessitates brevity, but the moral vigor and aspirations of the Jimiors simiild not be pretermitted. The wholesome atmosphere which jiervades our constituen ' y is one of tlje chief rudiments that characterizes the Junior vitality. We must now leave this domicile to our successors. So with higher ideals and greater deter- mination we will take a final step, and next try the top round of the B.C.. curriculum. rgani?ationg (Cutropijian ;%ocict) F. I. D. E. S. Fleetwood A.

Hall, of ■ilraington, N. C. It was organized with sixteen charter members. These yoimg men caught the vision; they surveyed the future and saw that society work was a necessity in the literary realm; they realized that impression was not beneficial without expression; they realized that the brain fac- ulties of young men must be developed in order to lend to the world the best there is in them. At the foundation of tlie society the Latin word Fiil ; was selected as a true expression of its cardinal princijile — Faith. That word has ever been the su[)port of each member and has served as a guiding star to its members. Our society work needs no coniment ; it has stood, and we Ijeheve it will continue to stand, pre-eminent. This year we have ninety-four members enrolled, each of whom realizes that the strength and influence received from this source is i)laying an important part in shaping his destiny. At the close of each year we send out men on life ' s stage of action who, with the dom- inant power of speech, are doing effective worlc; men who are ever guided by ambition ' s star; men who are standing in the front ranks and are taking a lead in the progress of our nation. Several years ago our Society Hall was destroyed by fire, but the Eutrophian spirit still existed; a new and more commodious structure was immediately erected. Each member with courage and persistent effort paid his part, both in loyalty and means. In proof of this fact, though the expense was exceedingly grc.it, our beautiful hall stands today second to none in the State. It is now encumbered by no ddit. We shall strive to keep our society the pride of its loyal luembers and to fvdfiU the iinpintaiil mission for which it was intended. tfjcnian i.iterarp ocietp A. R. S. The Athenian Litci-Ln-y Society was organized in 11)00 under the leadership of i liss Leah Matthews, with only ten charter members. For some years they had no hall, so they held their meetings in the old church building. When the new Academy was completed they were given a home in it. One of the most striking features in the life of the girls of Buie ' s Creek Academy has been the influence and power of this society. The affection for it and the adoration of it, as shown by the members, is the finest specimen of school spirit. This feeling began at once. The girls had no fear of hard work and they determined that their society should mean much to the school life as well as to the members individually. Its influence has been so recognized that it is now a requirement that all the girls become active members of the society. The girls quickly realize their opportvmities for becoming more efficient in freedom of thought, reading and composing, and they are glad to enter into the work and make the most of their privileges. From among our best society workers come our best leaders in church and school life. Many cluu-ches, schools and communities have already felt her influence and jimver, and we hope that greater blessings are yet before her. The records of this society, which have been kept in good order, show that from the first the programs have been of a high and helpful standard. Professor Campbell has always been in full sympathy with us, and with the inspiration of his advice, love and help, together with the untiring and earnest efforts and struggles of the girls and the noble assistance of other mem- bers of the Faculty, we are grateful for being permitted to meet in our splendid, well furnished hall and becoming members of this time honored society. fjilologian ocictp V.

Page. Under his insjiir- ing leadership, together with the hearty cooperation of its loyal members, it has steadily advanced in its power to train young men to better prepare themselves for life ' s duties. Man ' s highest culture is found in the symmetrical development of his threefold nature — the physical, intellectual and spu ' itual. Here the society work is essential in giving the young man an insight into the constructive side of expression. In learning to express thought, we learn to command thought, and thought itself is ])ower. There is no greater training for the mind, no motive more lofty than the training of tlie human tongue. The soul is stu ' red, character is formed only by the power and eloquence of the developed voice — and today each member of the society realizes that the power and influence received from this source is doing much in shaping his destiny. No greater agency has borne a helping hand to the mind hungering for development than the gift of speech. Many of North Carolina ' s foremost sons and some of various other states, who have gone out from this society, are filling prominent places and by their eloquent appeals are accomplishing great results. Today we stand upon the threshold of eminence. As we make our way through tlie lofty halls, the degree of attainment which we reach, the service we may render, and the lives we may conquer, is due to the nobility of our first inspiration. Concerned with its grip on the best things of the past and its outlook toward the best things of the future, may our .society continue to prosper and lii ' ralcl llir dawn of useful manhood throughout the coming years. Miagfjingtonian ocictp Beatrice Hohd (Ath.) Recognizing the importance of beginning early and feeling out of place in company with gi ' own-up people, oiu ' little boys and girls, some ten years ago, organized a society of their own; more patriotic than some of us, they named then- society in honor of the father of om- country — the man who never told a lie. From the first the wisdom of their policy was clearly manifest. They have won recognition as platform orators and reciters, and are now given the first place on the program at all public entertainments in which the societies participate. Very often they put the larger ones to shame by tlieir superior training both in articulation and expression. This society is now under the management of Misses Page and Sweaney, two talented and cultiu ' ed yoimg ladies, imder whom tlie children study in school. By tlieii ' efficient man- agement the socirty is ic:illy in bcttci- shape than cvrr liefore. Kvcry jniblic entertainment brings forward Ihc cxcrllcnl wcirlv done liy this society. Siuely if we recognize the efficacy of training childien in Ihe art of expression while tliey are yet young, we cannot give too much weight to the s|ileii(ii(l character of worlv clone liy this society. By M. F. Booe Officers E. H. Cannady President J. S. Edwards Vice-President J. W. Clayton Secretary and Treasurer The Y. !M. C. A. of Buie ' s Creek Academy stands for the liigliost ideal of Christian manhood, and the development of the body, mind and spirit. There is no greater training fur the mind, no motive more lofty than that which finds exijression in the weekly Wednes- ilay night devotions and the Sunday morning study class. Here in these devotions the young men are drawn closer together, the human soul is stirrccl, the mind turns to purer thoughts and nobler ideals, which mighty deed-doer. The yoimg men who have to the devel ii:)ment of tlie Y a man into a devoted their time and talents i I. C. A. have acquired a val- uable as.set which will make itself felt on the world ' : for men who have trampled self beneath them, )f action, where humanity is calling Men who never fail their lirothers. Men whom purest h(juor fires, Men for country — H(jme and Clod. The immense deepening of the whole moral tone of Buie ' s Creek in recent years has been due quite largely to the steadying influence of the young men who have stood faithfully by the Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. puts young men to doing definite (Ihrisliaii work, which makes them feel that it is their first duty to stand for the best there is in life. Tiie student who yields himself to the influence of the Y. M. C. A. experiences a real growth in his religious life. It is the great aim of the Y. M. C. A. to have itself, felt as an indispensable part of the religious life of Buie ' s Creek and to perpetuate the high- standard of our bel(] -e(l |]rini-i])al in the development of grander and nobler aspirations in the lives of young men iipmi whose shoulders the responsi- bility of ccmducling a great nation into the channels of love ami |jatriotism shall soon fall. Athletics By J. E. Patterson A f!;reat intrrost h:is been inariiiVsled in alliletics lliis year. Tho Faculty and student body have been working together to develop more fully this important i)hase of sehool life. At the l eginning of the fall term, the following officers were elected for the Athletic Association: Prof. B. F. McLeod, President J. E. Patterson, Treasurer The association at once iiurcliased a mw e(|uipnient, consisting of several tennis nets, bas- ketball, football, hammer, anil otiier material needed for outdoor sports. New tennis courts have been arranged, and a large number are taking part in the game. Since the opening up of the spring weather, the baseball fellows are growing wild for a chance to display their skill on the dianaond. They are getting some good, hard jiractice, and pi-omise to have a strong team this year. Owing to the fact that the team has not yet been organized, we are unable to give the line-up here. Last but not least is basketball. With A. S. Harrell as manager, the team has proven itself a success. All through the winter, the interest has held up remarkably well. In the games jilayed with other High Schools we w erc defeated only once. Without a doubt we had one of the best High ScIkjoI teams in the Slate. A. S. H.ARKELL, Right forward A. C.

We are all youns men, just in our preparatory work, i iil - one in the Senior Class, but we have felt the hand of God upon us and the call To go inio all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Ministers! some may call us with a tone of derision and reproach in their voices, but that does not make us lose sight of our mission in life. As a class wo know and realize that a minister must be a man, and be able to fill a man ' s place in the world. And in this we have learned first of all that we are students, filling stu- dents ' places in the school world. To make this possible there can be no visible lines that sepa- rate or segregate the ministerial class from any other class of students that are trying to do the manly thing in the various phases of school life. In the societies our class holds an enviable iilare, (•a])turing many of the honors conferred by these two jiotent factors in our school. Hollowcll won the Declaimer ' s Medal last Com- mencement, Kinnett won the Debater ' s Medal in his scjcii ' ty last fall, Nixon won the Imijrove- ment Medal in his society in fall term, and Yearby represented his society in the niidlenn debate this spring.

Easom My youtlifiilness has caused me no little dissatisfaction, and has proven a great handicap in the perusal of this subject, and my attempt to bring to the surface some fundamental sub- stances. Whether the impulse that prompted this undertaking is a mere superstition of mine or an overestimate of confidence or ability; or whether the paragraphs which are to follow are the fruit of only a frenzied notion, remains to be judged by a larger mental capacity than is pos- sessed by the writer. These lines are not wTitten to win popularity or favor, or even distinction as a journalist, as can be read on every page; but that I may impress upon someone more forcibly the impor- tance of living an upright life, a more conservative life. My purpose is to try to present influ- ence in a broader sense than that held by the average person; to try to drive this point home, realizing that a single truth shot to the mark is better than several thrown out at random. To enter into discussion without positive proof for assertions pertaining to the subject, would have the same weight or effect as the foam which plays on the siu face of the rolling breakers, in producing the latent power that lies in the mighty oceans. Influence means power. This is admitted by everyone. And just here is the limit to the meaning of this word to the average person. This is proven by actions or habitual deeds. Never has it occurred to the ma!3ses of people, how wide a scope influence covers, or what it means in the truest sense. The subject originally sprang from two Latin words; in, which means into, and fluo, meaning flow. Thus does the word influence perform its function of flowing into. It flows in the veins of humanity and wields its power in every walk of life. In all forces of the world it is felt. Smothered, or held down by any force, it cannot be, no more than the mighty wind, which is essential to life and which fills every crevice and open in the universe. In the fields of naturalism we cannot help but notice the wonderful influence that nature exerts upon the world. She feeds and clothes mankind, and then keeps him in harmony with his fellow beings. She speaks to him in his musings through instinctive powers, saying, that a strict adherence to her law would mean a harvest tlu-ough life of health, and other things which tend to increase happiness, gives him a In ' oader vision and greater love for beauty, and prompts an incentive which causes him to know, that behind this unembellished beauty is a hand, no other than supernatural. Through natm ' e ' s influence, all living tilings are caused to vacillate so that all pcriorm their function, and that life be sustained. The mighty seas, in their orbicular- rollings, lend their influence to the world to a perfect advantage. So it is with nature ' s laws: that everything was created to work together perfectly. In the political world, the leaders who are principled, are the men to whom we look, to preserve the best interests of our nation. What a responsibility being borne upon the shoulders of this class! Their influence is the leaven, and the perfections of these noble men must over- balance the imperfections of the mass. Has not their power preserved our nation as a whole through decades? Think of the various channels tlirough which their influence flows. Watch the dazzhng beams reflecting from their deeds, as they shine forth with radiance, causing the streams of light, produced l)y adversaries, to vanish as the candles of night disappear at the appearance of the morning sun. No geometrical process could be produced to measiu ' e or sum up the influence of these just men, the conscience of the poUtical world. Society is here, and lias existed through the ages. The question before us, is to fight for 71 clean morals; clean to tlic core. All reformations of any note began with the individual. Con- vincing proof is seen in the annals of history as to the fact of influence in individualism. No person is in the world by chance. Every one has his influence. Shakespeare said: How far that Uttle candle throws its beams, So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Of the individual: each deed, whether good or Ijad, has its Ijcaring. There is no neutral ground; each action either tends to uplift, or drag someone a step lower. As a pebble dropped into the sea starts an agitation in the waters, that moves on and on; so it is by a word spoken: it can never be recalled, and when once spoken is set at liberty to pass through the minds of an unlimited number. Each deed has its effect upon the actor and the thing receiving the action plus just as many more things as occasions present. So we have seen by a few hints concerning the far-reaching power of influence, that the meaning of this word is not confined to any one sect or even to society; not in nature only, nor to the material or politicil world, liut to the universe as a whole. Knowing this, what should our endeavors be? Stop and think for a moment, and we will all agree witli one accord, that each thought should be wholesome; each word should be born of clean thought; and above all, each deed preceded by profound thinking as to the advisability of same, so that nothing be done to contaminate anyone. No, we cannot live a perfect life, liut we can at least show our respect to the fore- going suggestions, by placing our guidance in fhr Unerring Hand, knowing that by this wise act, all will be well. By J. W. Clayton Final examinations were over. Commencement exercises would end with a reception given by the President to the graduates at nine o ' clock. Already most of the boys had left and the college had a deserted look. Ralph Walton stood at the window of his room looking down the long avenue of maple trees that led from the dormitory through the campus, by the main college building and on to the little station beyond. As he stood thus thinking, thinking that it was with almost a feeling of sadness that he would leave the old college, his thoughts went back to the time when he had entered college, back to his high school days and to his boyhood and home. Once again he saw himself a poor farm boy among the mountains of Kentucky. He saw a cabin home, a mother bent and gray, not with years, but toil and care. He saw a community laboring under a burden of ignorance and superstition, a people with an abiding hate for law and order, a hate that was born of ignorance. The needs of his people came to him. He knew that to reach these people the children must be taught that life held a higher ideal than a log cabin home or days spent in hunting, fighting and making moonshine whiskey while the women toiled in the fields. To his mind a text of Scripture flashed. He seemed to hear the Master say, The harvest is ready. While thus musing the postman rang the bell and handed him two letters. One was addressed in a rough scrawling hand, the other bore the return address of a prominent church in a neighboring city. (.)pening the one that bore the church address he read: Rev. Ralph Walton. Dear Urotlicr: The chiuch, after hearing your sermon last Sunday, has decided to offer you the pastorate. Your salary will be $l,o()0 a year and, of course, you will be furnished a parsonage. Please let us know your decision as soon as pos- sible. Fraternally, Committee. Again his thoughts went back to the past years. He saw himself a lad with a longing for an education, the struggles he had made sweeping, cutting wood, doing anything that he might stay at the academy. College life had been no easier. Nothing but his indomitable will and ambition had kept him from giving up and going back to the old life among the mountains. Now the dreams of his youth were within his grasp. His struggles for an education were over and here was a good position, a good salary and a place among congenial surroundings. Another dream, too, was about to come true, the secret dream of his heart. A picture stood before him — a slim, blue-eyed girl with wavj ' hair and a sweet, melodious voice. He remem- bered when fresh from the mountains he had arrived at school, bashful and clumsy, with a feel- ing of friendlessne.ss, that she had spoken a kind word to him, the friend that she had been through days of struggling. Once more he was at the academy and they had stood together to receive their di])lomas. A withered rose still held a sacred place among his few trinkets, a rose she had taken from her hair and given to him, a walk home through the soft moonlight, a last goodnight and a promise. She had graduated from college the jirevious year and was now singing in a choir in the city to which Ralph had just been called. Already success and fame was comiug to her as a singer. Her teacher said, before her lay a great future. Ralph, finally turning, picketl uji the other letter. Opening it he read: Dear Son: I am glad that you are doing so well. Now that you know that which we peo- ple here in the moimtains need so much, can ' t you come and teach us the life and way of which you write me so often? May God bless you and lead VdU where He would have you go. Youi- loving Mother. 73 For hours he battled with his desires and impulses. Finally he murmured Thy will be done. Going to his desk he wrote the church committee: Dear Brethren: I thank you very much for your offer in liehalf of your chm ' ch. I feel deeply the honor and responsiliility of the position and would appreciate being with you, but feel that God has called me to another field of laljor. May He bless you and send you a man liettcr fitted for the work tlian I am. Sincerely, Ralph Walton. The next great trial would be to give up Clara. Was she not the one dream of his life aside from his work? He felt that he could not ask her to leave her position among culture and refinement to go with him to the backwoods of the mountains. He would not be so selfish as to ask her to make the sacrifice. He decided he would go and tell her of his decision as to his duty and then go back to teach his own people. The next day Ralph packed his few possessions, bade farewell to the Faculty and left for the city where Clara lived. The early June day was just drawing to a close when he arrived. He walked from the stiiliim to her home, picking his way through quiet streets and parks. How happy all nature seemed, the birds were singing in the trees and children were playing along the streets. How strange, he thought, are our lives — just when we think we have reached the goal of our ambition we find that we have been l)uil(ling air castles. Arriving at Clara ' s home Ralph was about to ring the bell when he heard her voice. Glanc- ing through an open window he saw her seated at llic piano. He gently pushed open the door and entered the room unnoticed. Softly she began to play ami sing The Rosary. How well the words expressed his thoughts! The hours I spent with thee, dear lieart. Are as a string of pearls to me, I count them over, every one apart, My rosary, my rosary, h icli liour a pearl, each pearl a prayer, Td still a heart in aljsence wrung, I Icll each bead unto the end . n(l I here a cross is hung. () mi-niories that bless and burn, () liarren gain and liitter lo.ss. I kiss each l:)ead and strive at last To kiss the cross. Sweetheart, to kiss the cross. Clara turned her head and, seeing him, came and offered him her hand. Looking into her eyes he felt that he must tell her now why he had come.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF STRAXGERS It is with the profoundest regret that we announce the unfortunate death of a distinguished foreigner, Mr. Mack A. Roni, and his secre- tary and traveling companion, Mr. Light Bread, while visiting our city a few days ago. The gentlemen came to town last week, ostensibly on business, and were directed to the Treat Dormitory as the best hotel in the city. Accordingly, they proceeded to that place, arriving just in time for lunch. Being quite a favorite with the ladies, Mr. Mack A. Roni had no apprehensions of danger, but expected to be received in a manner befitting his rank. Sad to say. he was deceived, for no sooner had the young ladles spied him than they raised a horrible yell and pounced upon him, hardly waiting for the preliminary intro- ductions, and (O horror!) began de- vouring him without compunction. In a short time both he and his companion were entirely consumed by the heartless cannibals. Not a trace remained to show their fate. In fact, if the affair had not been witnessed by the cook and others, the terrible crime might never have been discovered and the guilty par- ties brought to justice. At present the girls are closely guarded by the authorities, and all opportuni- ties of committing another such atrocious deed are prohibited. We are requested to warn all persons desiring to visit the dormi- tory for any purpose to beware, especially if he be at all desirable for food, and not be around at the lunch hour, as the police will not be responsible for the safety of per- sons entering without taking prop- er precautions. WARNING! — Keep away from the Dormitory, especially at meal hours, as the ferocity of the en- closed animals endangers life. Any student violating this regulation, meeting the same fate as Mack A. Roni, will be promptly expelled from school, j. a. Catnel, principal. MISSES BARRETT AiSD MONEY TO UNDERGO OPERATION Their friends and fellow-students will be gratified to learn that Misses Barrett and Money, noted chiefly for their dullness, are planning to visit Fayetteville in the summer, where by some mysterious process they expect to acquire a wonderful amount of brains. It is not defin- itely known whether they intend to be members of the faculty at Buie ' s Creek Academy next year or teach in some high university. If the new wisdom gained is as great as they hope, they may honor President Wilson with their valu- able counsel, or even go to Europe and discover the cause of the pres- ent struggle over there. HISTORICAL PAPERS We have on hand a few copies of the Tattoo of the year 1887, which we will dispose of while they last at the exceedingly low price of fifty cents each. The regular price of the Tattoo is 25 cents per copy, but as these are so old, and valuable for their historical information, we. must get 50 cents a copy. Secure a copy be- fore they are gone and find out what was going on in the Creek nearly a quarter of a century ago. Prof. Carlyle (on Education) : What is meant by political econ- omy?

Harrell, in direct opposi- tion to tlie wisties of the faculty as set forth in the rules and regula- tions of Buie ' s Creek Academy, started last Sunday to call on a mutual friend living some distance from the city. Whether they were invited or even in the habit of calling is uncertain, but at any rate they started. Unfortunately while they were passing through an open field, a cow, evidently mistaking them for green cabbage heads, made an un- ceremonious attack. The boys hast- ily climbed the only tree in the field and seated themselves on a limb; whereupon the cow took a position just underneath, possibly with the intention of catching them when the limb should break. How long they remained in the tree is not definite- ly known, but rumor says they spent the night, only discovering at day- light that the cow had gone home. We suppose they then followed her example, for no suspicious charac- ters were absent at roll call Mon- day morning. What excuse they made to the friend we can not say, but we imagine they pleaded a more important engagement. Their misfortune is a good ex- ample of the troubles that befall all greenhorns who expose them- selves to danger. There are only two ways to avoid the same fate: either use whitewash, as the Sen- iors do, or keep away from cows. JOKES Whisper to me, lest you disturb my deeper musing. — W. H. Odum.

BARGAIN SALE IN MEDICINE Last summer I made some medi- cine suitable for every ailment to which human flesh is liable. If you have any kind of disease, buy a bottle of this medicine and take it until you are cured. If there is not anything the matter with you, you ought to buy a bottle of this medi- cine anyway, because you are liable to be taken critically ill any min- ute. It is always .well to be pre- pared and have medicine on hand in case of emergency. C. H. Edwards, Horse Specialist and Humanity Doctor, Buie ' s Creek, N. C.

Ever since last fall times have been hard with me and money very scarce. I am very handy tinkering with tools and once I invented a rat trap which would have made ray fortune, if I could have set the thing without catching my fingers in it. I caught two fingers in it and smashed them both ; so you see, if it had been a rat it would have crushed him as flat as a pancake. Well, owing to the hard times, I have decided that I will go into the business of fixing umbrellas. If your umbrella is in a dilapidated condition, bring it to me and I will fix it up for you while you wait and only charge you what the job is worth, no more and no less. Yours for business in this line, D. A, Harris, Umbrella Fixer. Mr. Jack Logan, our expert weather prophet, says that July will be a cold month.
