Class IDocm Although bj ' chance wo mot ' Tis not by chance we part, ■ Four fleeting years of pleasant toil This hour in view from the start. Happy years they have been, Knitting lives and hearts as one; Happy years they have been, Building ladders to the sun. ud now in memory ' s casket old We drop a jewel bright, To beam again when years have jiassed And make oiu ' jiathway light. This path we leave for others to tread, This path we now call ours. And trust our deeds are fruitful seed To spring and light the jiath with flowers. Here we ' ve had an insight into the futiu-e, Just a ghmpse of a higher lilV, And our purpose here is to bettia- i rcparc To enter this field of strife. 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.

Ralpli has been a student here for two years. Since he fir.st carne he has i roven himself loyal and studious in his school work. He has won the confidence of not only the boys, but the ladies as well. Not only has he proven his ability in Latin and Mathematics, but also in music.

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
