All rejoice in the enc uring quality of his work an d the surety of his reward. William ear on It is most befitting that the Editorial Staff of the Pine Burr endeavor to remember our late William Pearson, the father-in-law of our principal, and friend and supporter of the institution. Pallid Death, who visits impartially the hovel and the palace, has knocked at the door of a faithful saint, and one of our most distinguished, most useful, most loyal supporters has answered the call. At his death, June 6, 1915, the county, community, and school lost a most faithful friend, and a progressive supporter of all that is worthy and upright. Mr. Pearson was born in Wake County and later moved to Harnett, where he spent the rest of his days. His activities as a public man meant much in the promotion of education in Harnett County. He took the initiative in cooperating with the founder of Buie ' s Creek School, and since the day it began with sixteen students he has been a loyal friend to the work, giving means and lending his support in any way he coukl. Mr. Pearson was a lieutenant in the Civil War ami served the Confederacy faithfully throughout the conflict. After the surrender he was active in recon- structing and l)uilding upon the ruins of his county. He was a member of the Board of Education and, with the cooperation of the other members of the board, effected a good public school system in the county. Later, as commissioner, he served his county well, and not long after the people, recognizing his work as a public man, sent him to the State Senate. Here he exhibited the talent of a statesman and patriot. As a Christian gentleman Mr. Pearson was a jieer in this community. In early life, while yet a citizen of Wake, he joined the Baptist Church, and through- out his life was loyal to the faith and consecrated to the work. Upon moving to Harnett County he united witli the Neil ' s Creek Church and was there made a deacon. He was instrumental in organizing Buie ' s Creek Church, and from that time on was closely affiliated with it. The history of the church and of this man, since its organization, are almost one and the same. For many years he was clerk, conserving the interests of the church greatly to the support of the pastor. As superintendent of the Sunday School also for many years, he sheiiherded the flock of little children of the community as well as the older ones. The work of this man did not die with him. His influence i mil from soul to soul Ami grow forevt ' r ;ind forever. Jfacult| James Archibald Campbell, B.A. (Wake Forest College) Principal Burgess Pincknet Marshbanks, M.A., LL.B.

Hedgepktii, Biisi ' hck.i MdiKnjcr H. F. Paiik, FnciiUii Editor Cbitorial In the spring of 1912 the Pine Buee was launched forth into the journalistic field. For each ensuing year the Senior and Junior Classes have pubUshed the Annual, trying, at each step, an amelioration of same. The booklet has been improved each year in all lines, until we have reached the place where we feel that any High School would justly emulate it. We are proud of it, for it contains a culmination of thoughts, produced from some of the purest boys and girls in the South. The Pine Buee — we would not change its name, for the title signifies unity. The many petals woven together Ijy nature into a substantial bulb. The burr hangs high above the heads of all, waving in the jnire, fresh Southland air, as it whispers through the pine. So it is with the Annual of ' 16: we have worked in unity, and tried to make this Annual soar above all the editions of previous years. It is no intent of ours, in this liooklet, to catalogue all the events that have happened during our term of Seniority. But our purpose is to record a few of our many accomplishments and aims, that the coming generations of our school, as well as the number of friends who are interested in us, may get a clearer con- ception of our ambitious outlook upon life. Even though our achievements hereafter may be far more praiseworthy than we can now hope for, yet will we look upon the class of ' 16 with exultant pride and admiration. This year has given us a taste of preeminence which has stimulated our youthful amliitions to greater and nobler things. To those who have kindly contributed toward the collecting of the material for this book, as well as the diligent coeditors, I am indeed grateful. To our esteemed and much beloved Principal, we unfeigningly extend our thanks for his paternal watchfulness over, and unceasing interest manifesti ' tl in us. Our Faculty Editor we cannot laud too highly; our gratitude can never be commen- surate with the interest he has shown in helping us make this Annual what it is. Now just one final word to our fellow-students: the Editors have given the best that is in them, in order to get out a book which you may be proud of, and one that would do credit to our institution; and if, in after years when turning these pages, they bring back to you pleasant thoughts of the scenes of your difficulties and triumphs, tlien our efforts will not have been in vain.

He has not lost his power and reputation sinee lieing at Buie ' s Creek, being one of the best members of the track team, and taking a leading part in all athletics. In the classroom he was a steady worker and believed in his motto, of givmg his best. He has chosen the field of Medical Science for a profession, and the class of ' 16 expects gi-eat things of him in this field. Cl. rence Sedberry Cl. rk (Phi.) Fayetteville, N. C. Motto: ■ ' Vincil qui .sc nncil. Champ, as he is called, is a man of high ideals, noble ambition, and untiring perseverance. These quali- ties, backed by his ability, place him among the fore- most of his class. Though, apparently indifferent and carele.ss about some things, we present him as one upon whom all men may rely, confident that under any cir- cumstances he will do the man ' s part. He has lofty ideals and it is devoutly to be hoped that his actual acliievements may be no less than his lofty aspirations. Herm. n B. xtku Cook (Phi.) Gap Mills, W. Va. Motto: ' ■ Explore the unknoum; conquer the uiicon- i ucrahle; accomplish the impossilile. Attempt the end and never stand in doubt ; Nothing is so hard but .searcli will find it out. The record made by this young man during his stay of one year at the school is worthy of emulation. His society, from which he received coveted honors, held hnn in great esteem. Cook was always ready to attend to busmess matters, but foolish or trivial things did not mterest him. What he did he did well. Clarity of thought and virility of imagination characterize his work. As a young man his equal is hard to find; his daily walk is pure and noble. We understand that he has not yet decided on his mission in life, but, it matters not what ta.sk may be his, evidrntlv such a thing as l. ' ulurc will never d. ' uken his jiatliway.

Occasionally we meet people who, the longer we know them the better we like them and the more we admire their qualities. Such a person is Dorsette. During the year he has been with us he has steadily grown in the esteem of the entire school. A very di ' igent student, he has held a leading place in all his classes. Sj ' mpathetic and kind, he has been a friend of all the students and made for himself a place in the iiirniiny of each of the class.

Sorrow is better than laughter, for by the sail- ness of the countenance is the heart made glad. Here is a silent youth in ways and manners, but a student of first rank. He is always busy. Now and then, however, he takes a few minutes to laugh with the boys. He is a great admirer of the fair sex, and is always on the job when the rules are suspended. Since his coming here he has displayed qualities which have endeared him to the class, and he goes forth as a man that none can say aught against. Ch. rles Hk.xry EdW- rds (Phi.) Bentonville, N.

His loyalty to the school and all its ordinances is worthy of commendation. The Phi. Society had no stronger member than Edwards. Truly, he has the qualities oi a real man. Many honors were placed upon him by the school and society, all of which he well deserved. Edwards is, indeed, an aspiring young man.

Thy purpose firm, is equal to the deed: Who does the best his circumstances allow Does well, acts nobly, the angels could do no more. Etta, another native of the Creek, decided that the commercial world afforded splendid possibilities for will- ing- hands and trained minds, enrolled in the Busmess Department. Her courage to stick to her task and master the hard lessons shows that she possesses the qualities that command success. The neatness and thor- oughness of her work and her quiet, unassuming manner bespeak success for her in her chosen realm. Newton Ernest Gresham (Eu.) Beulaville, N. C. Motto: The mini ivho wins is the man who works, The man who toils while Ihe next man shirks. Ernest came to us from the swamps of Duplin. He is a man who has been faithful to every duty, vigor- ous in every effort, and honest in every aim. A man of sterling worth, and serious attitude toward his studies. He is especially noted for his great laughs, and often amuses his friends by giving all styles of laughmg. Ernest has been loyal to his society and devoted to the school. Tiether behind a mule or behind a desk, we are confident this trait will serve him many a good turn hereafter. Malvern Hill Harris (Phi.) Macon, N. C. Motto: Be honest with yours elf. This is the silent man of the graduating class. He is seldom heard, but goes his way doing his duty faithfully. This modest man has made no great strides in school honors, but he has worked liis way up to the top.

Whether it is to prove a geometry proposition, write an English theme, or deliver an oration, possum et facium is his motto. For this young man, whose ambition is to cleanse our corrupted politics and judicial courts, we predict a senatorial career, and a ])lace in history ' s pages not less enviable than that of Henry Clay.

In his speech, his movements, and by his studious and brave countenance, he impresses one with his striking business qualities. For two years he has done good work here as a scholar. The class looks upon him as one of its most brilliant members. Hedgepeth, perhaps, is not as enthusiastic as some along certain lines of work, but, when he becomes iiiliicsird in a thing you may be assured that he, if iHr, -;ii . is willing to do more than his part. His socici li;is n.it a more loyal member. Few possess more geiunne per.sonalities. AVc i)n ' dict for him a great success as a doctor. EuNA Virginia .Jones (Ath.) Timnionsville, S. C. Motto: ' ■Nolhimj irill, d ' lul is (u-rukntnj. ' hat yiiu were, (illicrs may answer for — W ' lial ynu li-icil li he, Vdu must answer for yourself. Kdna, one of the most tlignifietl girls in Buic ' s Creek, has retained her po]5ularity without sacrificing her loyalty to the rules of the school. Quietly and unobtrusively, she is always ready to give a word of encouragement, and by faithfuhiess to her work she has taken a high standing in the confidence of the faculty and students. Born under the sunny skies of the Palmetto State, she reflects the sunshine of her native home, and thus con- tributes her part (no small one either) to the sum of human joy. To our class circle her memory shall be an aliiiling inspiratidii. Albert James LociAN (Er.) Buenos Aires, Ai-genlina Motto: Ich dicii. The shrirtness of life is not, to any ratiijiial ixrsipii.

While overfli)win,n wilh sincerity of pm-jiose, he is not lacking in liuninr. Ib- is an e.xccllenl student, and pos.ses.ses nobli- (lualitics. He is one of the few students who.se tardiness in Itringiiig in an exercise is a sui ' c in lication that he is doing excep- tional work. Hi ' delights in studying languages, and has taught S])aiiish in the school this year. This gentk ' - man is a valu.able member of the present class, and will make a strong addilicm to his chosen profession, the minislrv in I ' oreinn lands. Josephine Lynk (Ath.) Buie ' s Creek, N. C Motto: Be sure you are right and then go ahead. Joe is a resident of the Creek and as far as looks go, the boys say, she is all O. K. She possesses an optimistic mood and an amiable disposition, and is always willing to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate than she. While she doesn ' t apply herself very diligently to her text-books, she spends much time perfecting her wonderful talent of art. She now goes forth with her diploma, and all are expecting to see some of the world ' s masterpieces painted by her hand. HrNTEU E. .M. KTiN (Phi.) Elizal)ethtown, N. C. Motto: Be good in thyxelf. Hunter is the baby of the Senior Class physically, but mentally he stands along with members far more ad- vanced in years. He has not been with us long, but in that short time he has proven himself loyal and studious in all his school work — two qualities which bespeak a u.-icfid career. Irene R. chel Money (Ath.) Mayodan, N. C. MoTTo: That man lives twice that lives his first life well. Happine-ss comes from striving, doing, lov- ing, achieving, conquering — always something positive and forceful. Irene, who by sapient fresh Latin students is sur- named Pecunia, but better known to her clo.scr friends as Hans, figures in the cu-cle of most popular girls in school, popular in the true B. C. A. sense, which is to say that she is devoted to the Good Cau.se, ever faithful to her studies, and possessed of a remarkably sociable disposition. She is quite accomplished both in the iiinnoforte and in elocution, graduating in the latter ilr|i:ii I niciit, besides in the literary. Many is the time lh. ' -iimIc ' iiI body and others have enjoyed her part so athiiiiably taken in recitals, concerts, etc. Of this girl ' s long list of noble character traits, her piinctuahty to the Monday sunrise prayer meeting must not be forgotten. 29 Dki KK Rosa Belle Moodv (Ath.) Roanoke R:i.i)i(ls, N. C. Motto: Live to some purpose. Give me the coui-agc to go on When paths are rough and ways are long, The faith that flings, the hand that serves, The foot that plods, but never swei ' ves. It i an irii|iiissible tour de force to attempt to sketch so adninalilc a character in so little space. Fritz is a rcsi r rilly diligent Christian girl, holding herself aloof from all that does not stand for the right and com- niaiiding respect from all those who come in contact with her. Now, she is anything but a dry hnnp of dig- nity; her sidelong look has ca|itivalrd. pcrliaps un- wittingh ' , (?) more than one luail- - parl from thi.s, Rosa is an unflinching worker I ' oi tin ' Kingdom; and just .so is she also at her studies, llir extraordinary ability can be better grasjied upnii meniinn of the fact that she won the school ' s highest honms attainable in her Soiihomore year, and since lias ahiiost invariably made the highest grades in eveiy .siibjeel. .IdSEi ' H Lis ' i ' EH McK.w (I ' m.)

If you want a reliable baseball nine or a basket- iaall five, you want W. H. He is also a dogged .society worker; in this line, his motto, to which he sticks remark- ably, is: Never to let the other society pull it over on us. This young man ' s ambition is to be a lawyer-, in which profession, what with the training of literary, business and Eutrophian courses, we cannot but |iredict and hoiJC for him a serviceable carcc-r. Harvey Mack O ' Quinn (Ev.) Lilliiiglon, N. C. Motto: ran who thinks he can. ■■ Have faitli in nothing but industry. Be at it late and early; persevere And work right on through censure And applause. .Ml hough O ' Quinn is not classed a brilliant orator or declaimer, he has always had a very prominent part in all anniversary and commencement exercises. No, he is not a policeman either; he is the fellow who .soils the boys flowers for the girls. O ' CJiiinn is a jolly, good fellow who has the ability to stick to his work and look discouragement in the face with a smile. He is a mem- ber of the B. C. A.

Gifted with the power of winning friend.s, he retains them by the sincerity of his life. He is a consecrated young man whose fine traits and will-power will lead to sub.stantial achievements. - Hattie Oha I ' kele (Ath.) Greensboro, N. C. Motto: They serve God nioal, Who serve his creatures besl. Others, Lord yes, others. Let this my motto be, Help me to live for others That I may live like Thee. Hattie, a former student of B. C. A., realizing how important it was to finish with the Class of ' 16, came here last fall to take a special Bible Course, and also to finish in piano. During this time she has proven herself worth}- of the e.steem and love of both students and faculty. She is always faithful to her duty, and she made one of the best presidents of the Athenian Society. But the most attractive thing about her is her lovely, consecrated character. In the musical world or whatever sphere of activity she may enter she will doubtless succeed. James Willis Reiu lEr.) Whitakers, X. C. Motto: 0 nil the ( («« things that could he said of hint, Ihr livsl is, he was a man- I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. A diligent student and a faithful worker. ' hen you want a job done just call on James, he is always waiting, ready, and willing to help you. He is full of ambition, and triumphs over his failures. He has made good in the Business Department, and we predict for him a prominent place among North Carolina ' s business men. ToLMAN CLAHENfE RoBBiNS (Phi.) Winnabow, N. C. Motto: Have a good reason for all you do. The things we long for that we are, For one transcendent moment. Fresh Robbins has a reputation for several things, among which is his rivalry with H. J. Rhodes for the (■liivalr ' and beauty championship of the school. Another is his al ility to bluff himself and think he is bluffing the ti ' acher. He is wise — better to have the bluff removed here than hereafter — good nature should be without alloy. Despite his beauty, Robbins is ])()]iuiar with the boys, and with his congenial and happy turn he will make I ' licmls wlierever he goes. HuuHEs Jennincs Rhodes (Phi.) New Bern, N. C. Motto: Aburc all r .s-c be true. Yet all of us hold this for true, No faith is to the wicked due. Fur truth is jirecious and divine Tcin rich a ]ii-arl for carnal swine. This yiiung man just came Id us last fall, and inune- diately identified himself with the best thmgs of our school life. He is a constant attendant upon religious services, a frequent contributor to the program in B. Y. P. U. and prayer meeting. His ability as a .speaker and devotion to religious affau ' s, as well as his power of winning friends, speak favorably for the success of his chosen calling — iireachiiig the love of the Christ.

He is always at work, for him fun does not seem to have the usual charm as for most young men of his age. He is a loyal and faithful worker in his society, and his influence is felt, in every phase of school and religious life. He will wear, with credit to the Class of ' 16, the crown of success which awaits him. Elsik 8we. nev (Ath.) Durham, N. C.

Lives of all great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Although Stone has been with us but one year he has made a mark in scholarship and school life. Active as a worker in the literary societies and other organizations, he enjoys the confidence of both the faculty and the students. He has not decided upon a vocation, but, with his sterling qualities and ability he will grace what- ever station destiny may assign him. Gwendolyn Taylor (Ath.) Kio 1.

Though Gwendolyn, one of Buie ' s Creek ' s imported few, hails from Brazil, she, in every way, shows herself to be a genuine American. With her has come an extra- ordinary wealth of accomplishments and attractiveness, the latter of which has, in the short time she has been here, grea tly appealed to Buie ' s Crcckian youths — fhe herself is one of these who warmly congratulate the Princess upon the last steps which she takes in lici- attitude towards men. She is uncommonly lalcnlcd in music, exceptionally .so in the pianoforte, in which di ' iinrt- ment she graduates.

Jesse hails from the historic old county of Halifax, and, although he has been with us a short time, we recognize him as one having stickability.

Take the weather as it comes; growhng at the sky is very poor and unprofitable business. Bill is one of the monumental figures of the Class of ' 16. Big of body, heart, voice, and capabilities, he has made for himself an enviable place in the school life. He possesses the c|ualitii ' s iif a gi ' eat speaker, and has represented the Eutrojihian Siiciety on several occa- sions. The faculty likes Bill becaiiso of his frank, honest nature. In spite of his fine traits, Bill has one weak- ness — he loves the ladies, and often his room-mate hears him talking like this in his sleep: What would the sea be witlidut water, thi ' vi)rl l without flowers, and life witlidut :ii li ' iisi si swiTtlii ' Mils?

Yearby, as he is familiarly called, is ime (.f Ihe best known and most popular members of the class. One of the former students, he comes to us in the bonds of wedlock. This has not handicapped his usefulness, however; rather the contrary. He has held many offices in the school organizations, being President of the Eutro])hian Society during the 1916 term. He is one of the handy men of the school. If some one was wanted lo run a peanut stand or conduct a religious service Yearby was the man for the job. He has decided to give his life to the ministry and, with his deep con- victions and iiower as a sjieakiT, his fulure usefulness stands assured. Senior Class oem Today we gladly place our footsteps Where once om- dreams beckoning stood, Upon each brow the victor ' s laurels — The fresh green laurels of seniorhood. Our swelling ranks climbed bravely ujnvard, Meeting each task with courage bold. United, here we raise our colors Three cheers for Lilac and Old CJold! Ere parting, here we iiause a moment, Glance fondly back o ' er fleeting years, WTiile joy, regret, sadness commingled Move us to smiles and sighs and tears. And turning thence to years beyond us, We, conscious of how great a debt We owe to our dear Alma Mater, Will dream of tasks far greater yet. And facing thus the untried future, We will seek where duty lies, Rejoicing, that the bow of promise Arches for us the morning skies. ije Craineb iHinb A young laaii is like a vessel stai-ting across the ocean, and having the power to see the other vessels ahead which started sooner and took the various courses. Some of those ships which started earlier are now drifting; others are entirely out of the course on which they started; some have emptied of rich cargoes, while others have been heated out of recognition; some are going down; many of them, with torn sails and battered boats, have held their courses steadily, against storm ;uid weather, and are still plowing straight toward the chosen harbor. Young men and women who are standing on the threshold of life may see the outcome of others who have gone before them, l ut the trouble is, they cannot see the connection between destinies and beginning. They do not see the many dangerous rocks and slioals tliat lie hidden along their course to the Harbor of Success. How glorious and magnificent was the start of that floating ]Kilace, the Titanic, l ut how awful destnu ' tion! .lust so with many men and women; they are wreckeil on the iceljcrgs which float in life ' s sea. In the lathe-turuing rooms of the great steel plants in ovn- country may be seen tons and tons of steel hlings and shavings. These you will find to be of the finest ((uality of steel, but of little value in their miorganized condition. Mcjuld these apparently worthless particles of steel into a shaft. Attach one end of this shaft to a steam engine and the other to the screw propeller of a ship, and it will send the mighty ocean liner from New York to Liverpool in five days; thus you see that it is only the bringing of these bits of steel under an organized power for a |)Ui ' pose that they become useful and effective. In like manner, the unti-ained mind is nothing more or less than a heap of thoughts, wishes, impulses and desires, and not until the power of a fixed innpose brings them into unity are they made effective. Failure after failure in the attempt to lay the Atlantic cable would havt ' diseoui ' aged and defeated a less determined man, but Cyrus W. Field knew it could be done and persisted in his efforts, year after year, in the face of adversity and the advice of his friends to give up. Today the jieople of all civilized lands are neighbors and the Atlantic cable will be an e ' er-enduring monument to the faith and perse ' eranee of ( ' yiais Field. This great accomplishment was the fiaiit of a trained mind. The human mind untrained is as dormant as the uuoi ' gani .ed wheels, rods and bolts of the giant locomotive. Without education or proper placement of these minor parts the great machiue which has brought towns, counties and states nearer, and made neighbors of them, has no power, but ] lace the parts together .and ' ou develop power. ' I ' his proves to us that educali in is necessary, both for power as wi ' U as usefulness. We nuist be educated in oi ' iler to make the most of oui- opportunities and appreciate the good things over which our ( ' reatoi- has gi en us dominion. 40 A human mind might l)e compared to a garden. In this garden you plant the seed from which you expect to grow a crop; ten them and they will produce good results. If you allow the weeds to hinder the growth of the plants they will not yield the proper harvest. So it is with you — after planting good quali- ties and noble thoughts, if you allow the negative quahties to grow, they will choke out the attributes and useful faculties which 3-ou must develop in order to attain the greatest success in any vocation which may be followed. Every organ of the human body or mind can only be developed through nourishment and use. True education is worth more than silver or gold. It is wealth stored up in your inner self, and if your material wealth be taken from you. you still have a possession with which to secure more material wealth. It is true that success in life depends upon thoughts. The great man is the one who realizes the fact that a mental store is stronger than any material force. Having realized the force and power of the trained mind, we set for our- selves the task of training our powers. It has been a struggle, and sometimes against manj- discouragements we have pushed on, and now we have closed an arduous year of labor. Under the care of our beloved Faculty we have made progress in all of our studies. We are grateful for the ojiportunities we have had to increase our knowledge and to train our minds. This will be remem- IxTcd by the Class of 191(5 in after years; for we have spent here many liapjiy houis. Ivirh has made us stronger and better, and each new study, in turn, has developed our mental powers more harmoniously. In looking back we have only to regret that the past cannot return. The hour is at hand when the tender relations we have sustained must lie severed. We must part, after years of study under your competent direction. As our memory goes back over the time we recall many instances of special kindnesses and forbearance, a perpetual indication of your interest in our progress. We now stand on the brink of an individual career, we must tread the way alone. We have begun to realize how rugged the path may be. No longer will we be guided by the hand of our beloved Faculty; our own judgment and experience will be the teacher. .Vnd now, as we leave the sheltering harbor of your advice and protection and sail out upon the sea of life, we turn to the ship of noble character and say: Sail (111 () character, strong and great.

We gain little from dates and events, but the contemplation of the spirit that has moulded great history is truly ennobling. Such an inspiration moved the founder of this institution to his task. In 1887 he established a school wherein the youth of the land might acciuire knowletlge and wisdom. And he made a decree saying: Hear, O people. Why disregard the power of educaticm u]Hin the livrs ami con- duct of men? Listen, ye people of the land, come drinl of the founfain of trulli. Thousantls from all parts of the world heartl this call, came. com])lctcd their courses with honor, going forth as useful men anil women, whose names are now numbered among the efficient forces of enlightenment. No wonder that some time ago the members of the Senior Class were foimd looking for light and seeking counsel at B. C. A. The Class of 1916, with its enrollment exceeding any previous records, is no ordinary class, and it has no superior in loyalty and achievements. As the requirements of completion advance more is expected of a Senior. Slowly but surely wc have made our way to the top and have attained to our exalted jiosition by patient and assiduous ajiiili- cation to our studies. In our endeavor to accj uire that knowledge which fits a person to hold a more responsible position, to cope with the many school problems and perpetuate our aspirations, we found it necessary to organize for mutual cooperation. We have traversed the region of books and, sustaincil liy true comradeship, have conquered the incongruous elements of knowledge and made them subservient to our respective ideals. Not only have we achieved great things in books, we have also accomplished great things of which our faculty are proud, and upon which we look with just exultation. Such grand improvements have been maile upon our society halls that they now compare favorably even with those of higher institutions. A new magnificent church stands in the Campus. Every Senior can feel a peculiar gratification on contemplating his own contrilmtion to the construction of this temple to the worshiji of Cod. A large brick building for the public school stands as one of the notable landmarks in our Senior year. We have shown such earnest devotion to our work and school that the loafer, the shirker, and the .smoker has eithei- foi-saken his jirofession or de|)arled for parts unknown. You would nol m;irvel at these substantial additions to our school if you had witnes.sed the enthusiasm tiiat predoniiiiiiled and the perseverance that characterized our efforts. 42 While every one has made good, some have excelled in their special lines of work. We have those whose graceful fingers running over the keys of the piano, catch the emotion and thrill the ear; musicians whose melodious voices have cheered our school with song; artists whose paintings have fascinated the sight, and quickened our love for the beautiful; orators whose eloquence has stimulated the hearts and heightened their aspirations, and ministers whose devotion has brought a deeper meaning of consecration and loyal service for the Kingdom. All have taken an active part in the spiritual, moral, and intel- lectual life of the school, making themselves indispensable in numerous ways. In the various religious organizations the forces of our class were always found. In the Y. M. C. A., in the B. Y. P. U., in the Monday morning prayer meeting our class could be depended upon for faithful attendance, and in the society halls their clarion voices have rung out clear and strong in forensic con- tests. We have debaters, orators, declaimers, reciters, writers, and a literary club. As we stand here upon the proud eminence where so many loyal hearts have beat in the past, we feel a thrill of gratitude for their inspiration, and our praises go out to our beloved principal and his faithful coworkers who have so patiently and faithfully instructed us. While we were mastering those hard and tedious problems the world ' s sirens sang, trying to lure us to worldlj ' pleasure, but these were shunned as delusive ambitions. We grasped tho.se things that grace the mind, fitting us for the eleva- tion of the world ' s standard of thought. Our faculty, we know, have unbounded faith in our power to formulate and to do, and we are determined that they shall never lose that confidence because of our misconduct. Realizing our lives have been moulded by the cri- terion of right, our feet trained to walk the path of rectitude, our minds inspired to virile thinking. W ' liatever !oo may beset our way, Ovir hearts shall be light for the thick of tlie fray. We have toiled together and the ties that have drawn us with affection and love to B. ( ' . A. will soon be severed and the largest class in the history of the school will, in sorrow mingled with sad good-byes, disperse to the task that awaits us in the work of the world. Historian Classi ropljecp When the iliity of foretellinfj ilir f:iir nf my school- iiiatcs fiist fell upon me I w:i lill.,! wuli a iirofound _y jr jB a|)])r( ' ci:ition of my classmate.s ' nuilKlinic in submitting J y frcp ' ' jA Xkim destinies to my scrutiny. Giving the matter fur- ' ' - ' ther thought, however, I came to realize fully the trust committed to me, and, in order to insui( them a fan- deal, I resolved to confer with the aslM nf l-:ii,ih and the venerable Samuel, but, upon appi h lnni; ihr gate of the Under-world, a guard in brazen .nnior bade me retrace my stejis and not disturb the repose of the saints. After this rebuff, I was about to consult the oracle of Apollo, when I suddenly remembered being a captive once among the English Gipsies, from whom I learned many sleight-of-hand tricks such as fortune telling and palm reading. Why not resort to these instead of the .shades of the ancients? No sooner was the plan cdii- ceived than adopted.

A. l I ' U funior Clagsi ilistorp We of 1! 17 have realized our highest aim and ambition — Juniors at last — wise and learned Juniors, for are we not pushing forward, goaded on by a great possibility of completing our course here next year? Many and varied were the happenings of our former years, but we cannot stop to discuss them here, as space (and energy) will not permit, for the course of events in the history of the Junior year must now be recorded. Our class began with a few members, but, by the constant perseverance of those few, it has now grown to the number of fifty-four, the high-water mark of any Junior class enrollment. Although we have not exceeded that in num- ber, still we excel in many qualities that combine to make a loyal and successful class which means to stand for everything that is right in school life; and by our united efforts we intend that the achievements of our class shall be many, and ever living up to our motto, WTiat ' s noble, what ' s right, let ' s do it. Our class is well recognized by the whole school as playing a prominent part in every phase of school life and as being a great factor in every religious organization. Our speakers frequently conduct the services in B. Y. P. U., Y. M. C. A., and in the Sunday night prayer meetings, where they are alwaj ' s greeted by an apprecia tive audience. Such names as A. D. Kinnett, J. B. Odum and D. T. Hurley, and many others, are well known throughout the whole school, as men of great orating ability, who aspire some day to have their names placed along with Demosthenes, Plato, and mostly ' Cicero, whose orations have alarmed the class for the entire term. We have carried away our share of the medals awarded here and are expecting to win others this spring. In athletics we are unsurpassed: In baseball it remains yet to be seen what our class can accomplish and attain to. In some future day we may so dignify athletics that certain members of 1916 may be published in the Little Riier Record as star players of Harnett. Although we have not been able to conquer the Seniors in a match game of basketball, yet the hopes of our members soar high, for who knows but that we may yet succeed in administering to the lordly Seniors an overwhelming defeat? And now we are nearing the last step in the curricuhun. Next year lies out before us with its numerous privileges and greater possibilities. We were about to lend some valuable assistance to our unrecognized Freshmen and Sophs, but they have been forsaken as a hopeless task, entirely too green and fresh to be capable of receiving it. The leaders will have discovered, therefore, that our class far surpasses all other such organizations. My task is accomplished; our numbers, our intellectu- ality, our persistence and faithfulness will carry us through. We will conquer or die, guided not only in the shining path of knowledge, but in other highways, which, once passed, we pass no more.

Led by a yearning to know things and to do things, we left, many of us, far-away regions and are met in a new and wonderful clime. Before us lie vales of artistic beauty, depths of golden thought and heights of sublime wisdom. Thus we are, as it were, a new colony entering upon priceless pos- sessions. Our class marks a unique epoch in the history of Buie ' s Creek. Heretofore no Sophomore class has perfected an organization. In this we claim first distinction. We have passed through the trials and tribulations of Freshmanhood and are now entering into the duties and responsibility of Sohopmores. As Sopho- mores we call ourselves ideal— and only a Freshman or a Sophomore can explain what is an ideal Sophomore. Among the many accomplished people at Buie ' s Creek Academy in art, music, and expression, we have a large number of them in ourclass. In athletics members of our class rank up among the Junior and Senior. With all these things we are not yet satisfied; we are looking forward to something higher and better. For, Our reach should exceed our grasp, or what ' s a heaven for? By the last rays of the setting sun we see a light which grows brighter.

There is no school in this State where more is done for tlic moral and intellei-tiial uplift and development of its girls than at Buie ' s Creek Academy; and one of the greatest sources of this development is the Athenian Literary Society. This society has been in successful opera- tion for sixteen years, and during this time many girls, because of the help and inspiration received by throwing themselves whole-heartedly into this work, have been enabled to over- come to a large extent their timidity and embarassment, and have gone oiit frrhn the school and society better prepared for life ' s varied activities. In every field of endeavor where a woman ' s influence is felt, the results of the training received here may be seen. Many homes into which those girls have returned are made better and happier because of it. In many of the schools of the State may be found our Athenian girls, who are well equipped and capable teachers. In the tsiness world many of these girls are filling responsible and remunerative positions. Some are engaged in philanthropic work, doing much to relieve the suffering and unfortunate. In the field of esthetics many have entered, and by their artistic tastes and training are brightening the circle in which they move because of their esthetic abilities. And in the greatest of all work done — that of missions — some are giving their lives in unselfish service in the cause of the Master. Two gold medals are given each session for the girls making the most improvement in expression; one at the close of each term. A gold medal is also given at each commencement f(ir tlic line giving the best reading, a contest m which six or eight members of the society ]iartiripafe. This annual contest is the cause of much enthusiastic work done by those enter- ing it. May our society, which is just Sweet sixteen, continue its great work for many years to come. V. I. C. I.

Page which was des- tined, in hiter years, to become one of the greatest educational factors of Buie ' s Creek Academy. This organization was the Philologian Society. From its very beginning the members of this society have worked together for the mutual benefit of each individual member. The motive of this organization was to better educate young men who reaUzed the fact that they could not get an education in the schoolroom; to train these young men to think on their feet, and to express their thoughts in such a way as to command the attention of an audience; and to prepare them for the many hardships that they were destined to meet. The members of this society are, as the n ame implies, lovers of eloquence, of oratory, and, in fact, lovers of all things that are beautiful, pure and noble. We have had some work done on our hall and can now boast a hall second to none in any school like this in our grand Old North State. The fundamental need of the world today is men who liave had their mental forces so trained that they are able to express their thoughts plainly. The men who have gone out from this society have gone out with all the faculties of their mind to the fullest extent, and today they are among the leaders in whatever profession they have had the judgment to follow. The greatest height to which man can soar is to the plane of the hypertrophy of his phy- sical, spu-itual and mental powers. There is no loftier ambition, no higher aim, no truer motive, than the training of the human mind and the discipline of the human tongue. Here in the society these abilities receive the necessary training and the essential discipline. Before us tower the lofty peaks of fame. Upon the summit of these eminent heights we see the former members of this society with their rewards, and we descry the glory that is awaiting those who arc yet to come. May this society continue in its great work until the day when •Minie.sli.Mll be no more.

Dean, Treasurer The development of the mind, soul, and body is the purpose of the life which is given to the human being here upon earth. It is the development of these qualities that requu ' e the consecrated efforts of every person who knows aught of the needs of this great world. We have the gymnasium and various other athletic organizations fen- llic ilcvcloiimi ' nt of the liody, we have the school system for the development of the nnnd, and wr liavr Ihi ' churcli witli its teachings for the development of the soul; but in the Y. M. C A. we have all these combined and made available for those most needing this helj , the young men just entering upon life ' s great struggle. The Y. M. C. A. is better able to meet the needs of these young men than any other institution, for here we have consecrated young men for leaders who are able to reach and sympathize with those less fortunate. But in this helping the other fellow, as is true in everyday life, the benefactor is most helped and all are brought closer together and made to feel the true purpose of life. Now the Y. M. C. A. organization which we have at Buie ' s Creek Academy was formed for the purpose of bringing yoimg men together in the communion of mind and soul. In the devotional meetings of our Y. M. C. A., which are held every Wednesday evening, the young men of our school discuss the problems that confront the rising generation and make plans and contrihuliiins foi- the more effective handling of these ))nil)lems. While assembled for the work they come into closer relationship with the Heavenly Father and are brought to sym- pathize with their colaborers in the great cause of the Kingdom of Christ. In the Sunday morning class meeting a study of the conditions which are before us, in om- work for the King- dom, is made. So, in the two weekly meetings of lln ' ' ' , M.

John-I just tell you Frank, FU be blamed if I go liaek to that old farm this summer. I am going to get out and make some money. Frank-Now, John, old boy, you must have some plan up your sleeve, or you wouldn ' t talk like that. Just come across and fess up, why has Dads Old Farm lost its attractions? , , „ i John— Well, I want to come back here next year, and I can hardly see liow I can do it if I go back to the farm, and there ' s no fun there. Frank— Whv, I find much pleasure there myself. John— It is the same routine every day, never no change; a boy has no tree- dom, no horse to drive on Sundays. It is work, work, from early to late, never Frank— What are you going to do? John— I am going over in Tennessee to sell patent churns. uu know the company will give me forty per cent on every one that I sell. Of course, I will sell several a day. Count that up. Gee Whiz! five dollars a day or morf— that old farm can go to blazes for me. Frank- 1 must confess that that sounds encouragmg. I would hke to go myself, but duty calls at home and I must stay. John-Think of my fat pocket next fall, to say nothing of the good tune and the sights I shall see. Frank— If you are going, I wish you all kinds of success. May your air castles stand the tests of all the winds that blow. John— Thank you, Frank. Wish you could go with me, we ' d see great times. Au revoir until next fall. Scene 2. Easter n Tennessee— picnic party. (John appears on the ground carrying his churn.) John— Seems like this ought to be a good place for me to sell some churns (approaching a countryman). Howdy, mister, my name is Wad.U41; I am an agent for the Holt Manufacturing Company, selling churns. Countrvman— We ' ve got a churn. John— Yes, but not like this. You churn three minutes and the Initter comes. No work whatever. Any child can turn it. Buy one. Save your wife lots of work. Countryman — I won ' t buy one, ain ' t no use foolin ' wid me; besides my wife would pull every hair out of your head if you were to mention it to her. John — But, my friend — (a former Buie ' s Creek acquaintance suddenly appears. John ilrops the churn behind a ]iicnic box). Why, hello Tom! so glad to see you. Where have you been for the last hundre d years? What have you been doing? Are you married yet? Do you still hear from Mabel? By George! It seems like old times to see you. Tom — I am at the same old trade, flirting. How was everything at the Creek when you left? Did you go with Ruth, Easter and commencement? Does the Faculty keep as close watch on — What are you doing up here anyway? John — I am up here selling — what a beautiful girl! Tom— Where? John — Over there, that one dressed in pink; I ' ll swigger she ' s a daisy. You know her? Tom — Yes, come on, I ' ll introduce you. (Two mischievous boys eyeing the abandoned churn.) Bill — Say, Charlie, that looks like wt ' could have lots of fun with it; let ' s see how it runs. Charlie — I ' ll tell ynu, wliile he is off courting that girl wc will get away with it. I wonder what the thing is anyhow? 15111 — Take hold of that handle, I ' ll hold to this one, let ' s run, and he will never know what became of his er — er whatever it is.

John (Soliloquizing) — Well, some one has got it, the doggone thing is gone at last — guess I am rid of another — haven ' t sold but one in a week — another day gone — better stayed at home — haven ' t got a red cent — wonder who went to see Ruth Sunday — I bet Sam doesn ' t feed Rover good while I am away.

John— Well, how did everybody treat you this summer? Frank— About as usual. My work was unusually hard. You see I didn ' t have an easy task like you. By the way, how did your get-rich-quick plan work out? John (Aside— Get-rich-ciuick plan, the mischief)— Oh! very well, though- had a grand time, did lots of traveling, put up at the swellest hotels, smoked the costliest cigars, frequented the most classical operas and played the gentleman to a T. Frank — How many churns ditl you sell? John— I-I-I harilly know. I lost the count before the vacation was half gone. Frank— Lost the count, eh? Hope your business course this year will help you to keep it straight next summer. John— Honestly, Frank, you ought to have been with me and help sport the girls. I met one at a picnic in eastern Tennessee, she was a peach. Here is her picture; have you ever seen such eyes? Frank— Real pretty— when did you come home? John— Oh! a few days past. You see, so much traveling and late nights kinder worried me, so I came ho me to rest a few days before coming to school. Frank — To rest a few days? How did you bromi up so much in those few- days? Took the sun bareheaded the day through, eh? Glad you had such a pleasant and prosperous adventure — the same jol) up your sleeve for next vaca- tion? John— Now, Frank, that ' s a long shot off yet. As variety is the spice of life, you see- Frank — Yes, John, I see! W )tn tlje Jleart pcaksi late Angelina, I cannot stay here and bear the suspense any longer. With an impatient movement, Edwin Roland laid aside his violin and, rising, stood looking down at the girl seated on the grass with a similar instrument in her lap. To Angelina Thorne his meaning was perfectly clear; for the past few hours she had tried by every stratagem known to woman to prevent such an outburst. She had understood his feelings for herself for months pa.st, since the day he had answered her father ' s advertisement for an instructor in violin. But Edwin was poor, and, in spite of his bright dreams of future glory in the musical world, as yet gave little promise of speedily gaining a fortune with his musical com- positions or his teaching, and she, accustomed all her life to everything that money could obtain, could not firing herself to yield to the promptings of her heart. So she had continuetl in a wavering, half-uncertain way to encourage his attentions, while discouraging advances. And now, when the hour of final decision had come, she was not ready to answer. So, hoping to ])ut him off again, she said, Shall we go over this part again, please? and, without waiting for an answer, began to play. He stood silent until she had paused, then spoke. Is there any hope, Angelina, that you can ever care for mc enough to give up the luxury and pleasure of your life for mine? Again she tried to evade a direct answer by saying, Edwin, how thought- less of you to say all this to me, and just when I was enjoying my music so much. When father hears of this 1 know hi ' will stop lessons. How could you he so lacking in foresight? Edwin looked straight into licr eyes for a moment. You mean that you cannot care for me, he said, I might have known it before, (lood-bye. And before she realized it, he was gone. At first she treated the matter lightly, sure that he would return the next afternoon for the lesson as usual. But when he failed to appear on the ne.xt day, and tin- next, and many days after, she began to regret her rashness. Finally a rumor reached her that he had left the city. Nobody knew where he had gone. It was then she first discovt ' red that she did care for Edwin, more even than .she had ever suspected. But it was now too late; the chance of a happy, useful life that she had so thoughtlessly thrown away could not be restored by penitence. Several years passed, duiing which time Angelina lieanl nothing from Edwin. The years had changed her much both in appeai ' ance and character. She was no longer the flighty, frivolous girl as before. Her lesson iiad been hard, but it had been well learned, and no otiier iiad e -er had cause to re|)roach her foi ' coquetry. Still her life was not sjxait in idly lamenting what had been lost. The wealth that through her father ' s death had since come to her was used for charitable purposes, chiefly, in a spirit of partial atonement, to help struggling musicians attain recognition. Thus, through her interest in one of the performers, she was present at a concert one evening, of which a famous violinist of great skill was the principal attraction. When he took his place on the stage, his position and manner of holding the instrument struck her with a feeling of familiarity. And at the first notes of an old favorite which she had played so many times with Edwin, she almost started. This man, she thought, must have studied with her former teacher. During the whole performance she watched him intently, at his every appearance, growing more and more sure of her surmise. At a reception given in his honor afterwards, she found opportunity to question him, and learned that Edwin had been his teacher. She learned, too, that he lived a lonely life in a distant mountain region, and that his habits of solitude were believed to be caused by some great sorrow or disappointment years before. She learned also that notwithstanding his semi-hermit life, his name as a violinist and composer was world-famous, many great ones in the musical profession counting it a rare privilege to spend a few hours with the master in his simple mountain cottage, from which he, himself, on occasional tours, w( nt forth to charm and inspire the world ' s artistic centers. Angelina spent many weeks in deliberation before she finally yielded and decided that hers was the duty of seeking pardon, since hers had been the fault. So one summer afternoon found her at the little hotel for touri.sts, not far from where she hoped to find Edwin. She was told that it was too late to see the musician that night, so, being restless and impatient, she went for a walk, and, wandering aimlessly along through the woods, absorbed in thought, she did not observe the direction in which she was going until an approaching storm gave forth its rumbhng warning. Then, to her dismay, she discovered that she was lost, and in her efforts to find the way to the hotel she came upon a rustic log hut ' just as the storm broke. She stepped under a rough shelter at the doorway until the rain should abate. As her ears became accustomed to the roar of the storm, another sound penetrated her consciousness, the low, but distinct notes of a violin fmni within the hut. Its tones were strangely suggestive of Edwin and seemetl to call her with such insistence that, almost against her will, she was drawn to the door. It opened at her touch and a man seated, by a fire within, startled by the creaking hinges, turned his face towards her, revealing a countenance much altered, and older than she had seen it last, but unmistakably Edwin ' s. As she came into the room he slowly rose to his feet, a glad, though unbelieving, light in his eyes. Then he held out his hands, and she went to him. The violin dropped unheeded to the floor, the fire blazed up more lirightly, and the sturm roarctl and rattled its congratulations outside.

Women always did suffer; in fact, I am suffering now, ' as I have corns on my toes and my , shoes are too small. I believe we I should have the right to vote, as I want to vote to tax old bachelors. ' I do not think they should be old I bachelors. It ' s all their fault, any- I how. I think women could vote as I well as men, if they just knew what fto vote for. Men are not any good except to buy candy, and have in the house after dark. Furthermore, because women are fully equipped with great lingual abilities, they need a new field of endeavor, as all women haven ' t got husbands to lec- ture to. Ladies, I ask, What would you do if you could vote? I tell you what you would do: you would ask some man what to vote tor, and then get him to vote for you. Fi- nally, I make one last plea in be- half of women, who for six thou- sand years had to stay at home and let men do the voting, and because — because— GJREATEST BLOCKADE K OM IX CENTURIES MR. KINNETT OX PREPARED- NESS Mr. Kinnett looked up from the magazine which he had been read- ing and burst into tears. When Mr. Dorsett asked him the cause of his grief, he replied; I have just been reading that the supply of salmon will eventually be ex- hausted, and — and — then — Streets of Our City Blockaded — Trafiie Tied Up for Two Hours — Greatest Mystery known in His- tory of Oni Town. Last Saturday night about ten o ' clock there was great excitement in our little city. The Main Street, leading out of Angler, was block- aded. Something like a dozen or more cars, but mostly Fords, were stopped in the street. There must be some danger ahead, thought the chauffeurs, or else there would be no signal. Chief Ennis was hur- ried to the scene, and upon investi- gation found RED HUDSON stand- ing in front of Mr. Gregory ' s. ANOTHER ATROCIOUS MURDER THE LAST CALL The time for the race had come. Every one was alert and ready to engage in the combat. But four of the contestants had not yet ar- rived. The bell was rung and every one was anxiously awaiting. ITive, ten, fifteen minutes passed and yet the combatants were not there. A breathless silence prevailed. I wonder what the trouble is? was breathed through the crowd. Has any one seen them at all this morn- ing? was asked, but not a word came from any one. What could be done under such conditions? Afterwards the girls were found, and by way of explanation ex- claimed. We decided to fast — for a variety. Oh, that my tongue would not cleave to the roof of my mouth. — M. P. Booe. AN UNEXPECTED CALL Rev. B. M. Crawford was called to the Prospect Community last week to perform a marriage. It was a bit unexpected, and the par- son did not have time to look upon the ceremony. So he went down and made the happy couple one. His climax was the following words: Friends, you can come up now and view the remains. Traeedy Enacted Near the City — Form Found Mitli Body and Every Linil) Cruslied — Another Muddy Creek .Mystery. The tender form lay bleeding in several places: mangled from head to foot. What a terrible crime! What monster or demon could have had the heart to crush it? Such a crime was enough to make the at- mosphere dense and cause a dreamy feeling to pervade every person. Oh, that we had been there to have prevented the tragedy; but, alas, it was too late. The opportunity was lost to offer any aid. If we could just recall the time, all of our power would be turned to prevent the crime. What could be done? The form was not breathing — Cale West had run over a young pine. WILL SHE EVER THAW? Of all the things which touch one ' s sympathy, it is a deformed person. Our town was moved re- cently when the news was spread of Miss Annie Lee Taylor ' s sad mis- fortune. The tie which binds our little family here seemed to clasp us more strongly when the news reached our ears. Was there no way to restore her to normal con- dition? No, not until the Summer. This was a long time. The long months were before us; how sad, to think of the heavy and lone- some hours that were to pass! And why and how did it happen? Oh, she just got stuck with KARO and would not thaw until warm weather. AFRAID TO CLIMB If I should climb the ladder of fame And, perchance, reach the highest round, I ' m afraid I ' d render myself lame By falling straightway to the ground. — Roy Hollowell. THE JUNIOR TATTOO Belchicidez Doolittle Chief Editor Matilda Jane Dooless Samantha Ann Saratoga Hezekiah Billings Beef-Bone Mutton Associate Editors Johnny Chiselhammer Business Manager Published by the Junior Class at The Eleventh Hour. Entered at U.S. Post Office (of course U. S. means Uncle Sam) as sixteenth class mail matter under the Pure Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906, Serial No. 89,649,839,624,218. Full Associated Press Reports, Mar- coni Code. Subscription Price Two cents and a brass button per year on the in- stallment plan. EDITORIAL The Junior Tattoo, in its second year ' s appearance before the public, sets forward these unpretentious thoughts, ambitious of giving to the world our intentions. The rea- son why we consider it necessary as the official order of the Junior Class is that you may be able to see the geniuses which are devel- oped at this factory of learning. The world for a long time has been comparatively in ignorance of our existence. We have been so busy in preparing ourselves to fill this exhalting position we have no op- portunity to elucidate. We come now to chronicle in an humble way. the great things B. C. A., and so with this unpretentious assertion we give you sincere wel- come to read and to peruse to your heart ' s desire the things we write. And here is a wish that our achieve- ments rflay inspire you to lofty en- deavor and some day you may look from the same eminence from which we now survey the world. Mr. Sam Honeycup, from Pump- kin Center, gave us a pleasant call yesterday, on his way to Possum Trot, and renewed his subscription for five years. Men of this calibre are always welcome in our midst. Let the Fresh do the work. Do the work, do the work. And let the Juniors do the skipping around; Then mind you keep out of the way. Our Freshies, dear! ODDS AND OTHEinVISE A leaf has been turned, and on the new Page we find a hair-cut. We must admit that the Seniors have done well in compiling knowl- edge, yet there is room. Cale West leadeth the Soph- mores; they shall not want. As the Seniors go away, we would give them some parting advice, but we feel they are too green to ab- sorb it. Any one wishing information re- garding the army and navy will please call on me for an inter- view. — Eugene Apperson. We have two men to dedicate the Annual to; you can get airy one you want; has any one a denomina- nation? — Jap Pittman. i The Seniors are now hoisting j their sails to leave the harbor and [ launch out into the sea. We are afraid the gale will be a little weak for some. j Was Virgil a man or a disease? — A. P. Stevens. Let ' s use our troubles as step- ping-stones to success. My great- est trouble is getting up in the morning. — A. B. Hollowell. The woods is never too dense; the swamp too boggy; the night never too dark; the path never too long. Leave it to me to make the trip. — C. L. O ' Brian. The Sophomore Class reminds us of the Dismal Swamp. It will take a long time to dry it out. J. W. Clayton ' s motto; Love all the girls, and don ' t mind getting kicked by them. Bill Wilkins ' motto; Make a bold stand in life — if you should go to the dormitory. LAUGH, A]VD THE WORLD LAUGHS MITH YOU J. B. Odum — So you are going in for public speaking? Yes. Well, make up your mind that you can say more in half an hour than in two hours. Prof. Marshbanks was endeavor- ing to instill in the minds of some discouraged pupils some notions of ambition. Do you know, he asked Mr. Crawford, that every boy in this country has a chance to be Presi- dent? . Is that so? asked Crawford; then he added, Professor, I ' ll sel) my chance for ten cents. Prof. Page — How many of you have studied Scott? Elizabeth — Yes, I have studied Scott ' s Emulsion. Prof. L. H. Campbell — What was Caesar ' s professon? J. B. Odum — He was a Mormon elder. Why is Prof. Carlyle so fond of May? Because, in the spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thou,ghts of love. Delay is the seed of disaster and death. There can be no efficiency without promptness. Slipshod brilliancy never did win out — one reliable man is worth a dozen triflers and succeeds accord- ingly. There are only two words in the vocabulary of opportunity — how and now. Every little diamond has a spar- kle of its own. To find yourself is to lose part of your troubles. How about a hair tonic, sug- gested the barber. ' What for? inquired Mr. Nixon. So as to preserve your hair, of course. Let it fall out. I am too old to: be handsome, and my only hope of looking intellectual is to becomei baldheaded. Prof. Wallace — Why are book- keepers and chickens alike? Miss McDuffie — Because they have to scratch for a living. Prof. Page — Girls, by all means be careful about the pronunciation in copying this Annual material. Rosa Moody (soliloquizing) Prof. Carlyle, is an epigram a laundry tag used to tell whose laundry? Ralph Herring — You know, Ruth, I speak as I think. Ruth Pope — Yes, Ralph, onlyi oftener. A MOONLIGHT SERENADE Three young men, who were very iiiueh in love with young ladies at thij (lortaitory, decided they would go over and serenade them. After much practicing, they got so that they could sing ' Old Black Joe without the leader having to stop more than three times for the others to catch up with him. On the appointed night they met at the postoffice and came around by Mr. Phillips ' s and slipped up to the dor- mitory from behind. It was the witching hour of ten and the bell had just rung for the girls to re- tire. The moon was just rising, and these young serenaders, with a heart full of love, crept around to the front of the dormitory. After they had decided which room the fair ones of their hearts were in, one said, Whoop her up, Ben. The leader bravely struck up, Oh, Jo- sephine! Oh, Josephine, you ' re the apple of my heart, oh Jose- phine! About this time Mrs. Rosa- mon called, Mr. Stevens! oh, Mr. Stevens I wish you would go down and see who is sick. By this time the leader started up again with Kitty, dear Kitty, won ' t you be mine? The girls had begun to get scared, thinking burglars were try- ing to get in the building. Rosa Moody was hiding her Senior Eng- lish papers as the most valuable thing she possessed; Edna Jones got on the bed and raised her um- brella; while Mrs. Lynk wrung her hands and said, Really, I wonder what they want? Mr. Stevens got his trousers wrong side out and couldn ' t go out until he could change them, so the trio struck up again, Won ' t you love me as you uster. Myrtle dear? By this time Miss Britt looked out and seeing the singers directly beneath her win- dow, said, Be quiet, and hand me the water pitcher, Ruth. With a sure aim she emptied it upon their heads. About this time Mr. Stev- ens came out of the front door. The love-sick singers having decided that it was going to rain, started towards the Academy with Mr. Stevens in pursuit; two of them missed the bridge and landed in the ditch on their heads. The next day their roommates answered Sick for them at roll call, and the dormi- tory has not been bothered by sere- naders since. OUR REMEMBRANCE OF THE SENIORS The leavin ' s of Seniors all remind us That their appetites were a la mode. For, departing, they leave behind them Karo buckets by the wagon load. TOAST TO FRESHIES Here ' s to the Fresh, the greatest, grandest and greenest that ever have been, are, ever will be, or we ever care to hope for! THE FRUSTRATED RUSE INCIDENT IN CHURCH He thought he was on the railroad track, And the train was running shore; He gently turned and gazed aback. To see Miss Ruth Pope snore. The girls of the dormitory planned to have a most delightful day some Saturday bj stealing off and going to The Rocks to spend the day. We had been planning for something of this kind ever since our return to school after the Christmas holi- days. We decided to take a variety of things with us on this trip. First, some books, if we should go amiss for amusement, to improve the golden moments with study — per- haps. Second, our bathing suits, I should the water be fine, to take a good dip. Xext, and by tar the most important, a lunch — but how was the lunch to be got up? This was thought over very seriously for a while, and some feared that it was going to spoil the project. But no, there is always a resourceful person in an emergency. One girl spoke up, Now, I have the idea. The night before we go, at supper we will get all the biscuits and things like that we can. What we can ' t get in this way must be secured in another. Each one of us will give to Aunt Jane, the cook, a tip if she will manage to get the pantry key for us. The cook was consulted at once. But with no success. She refused to do this for fear she might assist in a piece of mischief, when any clear-headed body might see the girls meant only a bit of fun. We all returned to our rooms, hav- ing given up in despair. Every one was thought to be hard at work. Our plans were shattered. There was nothing else to be done. Sud- denly we were all disturbed by one of the girls, who went dashing into every room, saying that she had thought of another method for se- 1 curing the lunch, and our plans might yet be carried out. She be- gan: Girls, you all have heard that if you will put any one ' s hand in water when she is sleeping, that she will tell you almost anything you Wu.ut to know. So two girls who can do things in a quiet man- ner will take a bowl of water and gently lay Mrs. Lynk ' s hand in it, and she, perhaps, will tell where the pantry key was left. If so, we shall be in the boat. This was done forthwith. Mrs. Lynk, in a A WONDERFUL CATASTROPHE A great head-first collision hap- pened near the corner of the Acad- emy where lightning usually strikes. Jap Pittman was coming around the rear, as Eugene Spivey was going out. The two bipeds collided. Says Jap, Oh, how my head does ring! Well, answered Eugene, she must be empty. Doesn ' t yours ring? inquired Jap. No, replied Eugene. Then she is evidently cracked, was the answer which came. TOAST TO THE SOPHS Here ' s to the Sophs, who all look green, And who take pride in always being seen; May you take new courage and at last succeed. If you do have to move with rapid speed. very polite manner, at once began to address the cook, telling her where she would find the pantry key, and instructed her to secure the girls, toast and Post Toasties, so often here they asked her why she never would give them some- thing light like that for breakfast. We immediately went and found the key where Mrs. Lynk had indi- cated. We quietly opened the pan- try door, walked in, and began to decide what to prepare for lunch. As we were looking around, mov- ing boxes and other things, hunting something good, a can of fruit sud- denly fell from the pantry shelf. This frightened us. Would it awak- en Mrs. Lynk? Unlucky star! — Her voice! — Yes, and she was calling Mr. Stephens to go down and inves- tigate the noise. A stir in the re- gion of his room. Steps draw rap- idly near — then other steps — and both stood in the pantry door. The thieves were dumfounded. Mrs. Lynk sternly demanded, Girls, the meaning of all this noise? An hon- est confession — well, it was the only kind in the situation. By the time our stor.v was ended her face had presented every phase of emo- tion from angry reproof to kindly amusement. Had you forgotten, girls, ' murder will out ' ? — this with a smile. The trip to The Rocks may yet be — some other day. 1 SCHEDULES TRAINS B. C. A. Special Leaves. 2:30 A.M. Arrives. 11:30 P. M.

WAK TIMES Well, girls, if nothing else will do. I will try ter muster up jest oue more, said Uncle Jep, as he squared himself in his old arm-chair before the fire and gave his hoary ■whiskers a gentle stroke. I ' spose all you girls have hearn of Jeff Davis. He and myself were great old cronies. Jeff and me were raised from the plow handles to- gether. Jeff first lived out in the Blue Grass region of Old Kentucky. His old dad saw greater prospects out in Mississippi, and decided to move there. He went over there and settled on a farm, j ' ining the place where my pa lived. So we boys worked together, hunted to- gether, went to the log schoolhouse together, played together. Many old -rape vines were clomb and the luscious fruit plucked by our hands. I can see the old fields and woods now, as they uster look. Jeff was a strong lad, and when we uster rastle, about every time the boys said it was a ' dog ' fall. The litt le school that we uster at- tend stands fresh in my imagina- tion tonight. The little house upon the hill is dear to me, and the spring just below the road, with the little rippling stream winding its way down the hill like a serpent creep- ing upon its prey. As I think of how we uster drink water, it makes me wanter go back and be a boy again! Jeff stood at the head of his classes, and was soon ready to fill a bigger place. He was a fellow of great ambition, always talking about leading an army; always talked about leading an army or being some great leader in politics or goodness knows what. Soon, he managed in some way to git off to West Point. For a few years I didn ' t see Jeff at all; but occasionally a little word would get out in the neighborhood that he was doing well. About that time we heard that our country was again to fight Mex- ico, and that Jeff was going to lead one of the crowds. I told Brother Bill, if Jeff went, I was goin ' , too. So a bunch of we fellows from round there in Mississippi got us some rifles and other things to- gether and took Jeff as our leader, and went to fight the M-exicans. I will tell you, that same old bravery that he showed when a boy on the farm popped out again. We got in several hot scuffles with those half-Spaniards. We fit ag ' in old Santa Anna hisself. At night we boys would set around the camp- fire, and perty often Jeff would come down and we ' d talk over the old times together. We Mississippi boys kept foolin ' round down there until one day we found our small crowd right up agin ' several thou- sand Jlexicans, with old Santa Anna himself in charge. They looked to me like there was a million of ' em, jest as thick as blackbirds. ' Stand to the last ditch, ' cried Jeff, in a clear, ringing tone. And we fit the hardest, I believe, that we ever had during the whole war. And, girls, ' twas here that I was brought face to face to a test, whether I truly loved my boon companion or not. A rough, brawny, strong Mexican had managed to get behind Jeff; his musket was leveled. Did he fire? I tell you, I- didn ' t give him a chance. I killed him in a jiffy with my rifle, which always spoke when I called for it. This incident brought Jeff and myself nearer to- gether. He saw that my love for him was real. . The war ended and we boys went back home. We loved Jeff and had confidence in him. We soon sent him to Congress to help make our laws. I soon saw that trouble was a- brewin ' agin. The North and South soon took up arms, and we rebels were brought face to face with the Yanks. The South chose Jeff Davis, I am proud to say, as President of the Confederacy. We boys went at the biziness ag ' in. The trouble, hardships, and disease lasted about four years. During the time I worked as a spy. I might relate some of my experiences to you. I made good until near the close of the war, when, one day, I was in the enemy ' s camp and was captured. The word soon went throughout the camp, A rebel is caught. I saw my fate. I was tried the next day and sen- tenced to be shot five days hence. The day and hour arrived for my execution; they had me standing out before the riflemen. The men raised their rifles to fire, and at that instant something intervened. A foaming gray horse dasked in be- tween, bearing a rider. The men lowered their guns. The man hand- ed a message to the Northern lieu- tenant, which read as follows; ' Jep Cunningham, according to law, deserves death; but in behalf of his dear friend, and my boyhood friend, Jeff Davis, I beg to spare his life. (Signed) Abe Lincoln. ' I was turned loose, set scot tree, and went back to my place. I found that the boys had hearn of me be- ing captured, and had gone to Jeff, who made an earnest appeal to his life-long friend, but opponent in war, Abe Lincoln, to save me. I saved Jeff in the Mexican War, and he had saved me in the Civil War; bless his memory; and that has enabled me to be here talking to you girls tonight. It always pays to do every deed of kindness coming yer way. THE INEVIT.IBLE Where are you off to in such a hurry? To fetch the doctor for my hus- band. What ' s up with him? He tells me he has got hepa- titis, dyspepsia, rheumatism, enter- itis, gastritis, appendicitis, neph- ritis, and cerebro-spinal meningi- tis. Where did he get all that? Why, one of those Buie ' s Creek book agents sold him a Family Med- ical Adviser, and he ' s just been reading it. PEKSISTENCY If we should scale the Alpine heights And iind no glory there. Let us not stop to view the sights. Or give up in despair. — Flora Matthews. It being Leap Year, Wanda de- cided to propose. Will you have me for your wife? she said, sweetly. R. J. White — Since you have suggested it, I will, he replied. But just remember, Wanda, if I don ' t turn out to be all you expect, you only have yourself to blame. NATURAL HISTORY LESSON America cannot be an ostrich, said Professor Carlyle, and the only other animal that eats every- thing is a goat, and America cannot be that, either. — (Jfi ye-rny r= T r ' BICKKTT, WHITE MALONK LAWYKIJS Louit hiiri ' ordi Carolina B.
