MOORE LSON Cape Charles High School The ARR011 Classmates Dear Alma Mater! Class ’21, Can we forget the race we’ve won, As here we gather with delight. On this our Graduation Night? But ere we in life's future look And lay aside each well-worn book, We come to bid farewell to you— You, dear friends, who’ve been so true. Teachers and friends, ever so kind; All you whom we shall leave behind, With you we leave behind our deepest love And hope in gratitude to prove A credit to your teachings. Yea. As we journey on life’s way, We shall always think of you As our friends so staunch, so true. True, we did not always do All the things you wished us to. There were battles fought and victories won. And lots of things we might have done. And although it may be late. We'll strive to walk the path so straight. My! But we have had some fun, This jolly Class of '21. Grace R., ’21. 9 The Alt ROW Cape Charles High School iFarultg MISS SARA DOUGHTY One to whom we owe much and one to whom great praise can he given and then not have a full share. She has successfully guided the Class of ’21 not only through the hard course of English, hut also through the trying classes of Latin. Good luck to Miss Sara! May she have all manner of success in the near future! MISS LILLIAN TODD Our Math, teacher, has done much to help us through the struggles of our problems. She is always willing and ready to render us a service. MISS LIVELY If you would look at the name and then think of her you would immediately laugh. She is always in a good humor and “just loves her pupils in the Business Department. May she have great success in the coming years and keep the same sweet smile. MR. A. S. DeHAVEN, Principal In our time of need Mr. DeHaven came to us with a helping hand to help us through our strife. He at once took up the work with great spirit, to carry the thing through, and was successful. MISS CHAPMAN Our Science teacher, has given us many helps on Biology and Chemistry. MISS AMES Is our faithful History teacher. Firmness and squareness arc her traits. Even though we know we have given her lots of trouble, she is always ready to give us a smile. MRS. WILLIS Has been kind enough to give up her other duties to come out and aid us. We all thank her very much for her services. 10 % The AliltOll Cape Charles High School MISS JUSTICE Has been with us for two years and has held the sixth grade to a chalk-line. We could have found no better teacher for that grade. MISS EVANS Has been very successful with the seventh grade. MISS TYLER Has been with us for two successive terms and has proven that she is an A-No. 1 teacher. MISS DRUMMELLER Has won the name of being one of the best teachers in school. If you should happen to go in her class-room you should soon find out. MISS REBECCA SCOTT Is our old “stand-by. She gives her children such a good start that her first “Shove' sends them spinning through the High School and on through College. MISS TALBOT Behold the success which Miss Talbot has won by her steady work with the third grade. MISS BERRY Has put the little second graders on top and taught them how much 2 x 5 is. We are sorry that Cupid threw some darts into the second grade and made us lose such a fine teacher. 12 The a mum Cope Charles High School Editorial Staff 14 The AH HOW Cape Charles High School i Fttinr (Hlass Colors: Green and White Flower: White Rose, Green Foliage Motto: “Hitch your wagon to a star” Dfficcrs DEN A RD TRAVIS.......................................Preside n t ELIZABETH NOTTINGHAM.............................Vice-President WILLARD CHANDLER.........................-............Secretary CHARLIE RICHARDSON....................................Treasurer JAMES MERRIL ADKINS Brains” “Must work? Oh, what a -waste of time!’’ Manager of Baseball Team, ’21 Member of Football Team, '21 Here's to Merril, the brains of the Class. For all information, social, scientific, classical, or otherwise, ask Merril. Slow and clumsy, Merril seems to have an inherent antipathy to profitable physical exertions. He's too lazy to lose anything for fear he will have to go find it at some later time, even his heart. Anyhow, Merril is a good sort to have for a classmate and always pulls with the rest of the Class. He has a special art for notes some of which, through his generosity, have been preserved as models. Arguing is another art in which Merril “stars,” especially during French class. Summing his traits, we find that he possesses three rare qualities: First, he always seems in a hurry to give away information; Second, he never fails to give desired or undesired infor- mation, when opportunity offers itself; Third, he never seems ruffled on any occasion. He’s going to make good. “Watch him.” 16 Cape ('harlcs HUjh School The ARROll JAMES PENNEWILL APPLEBAUGH “Old Folks” “Preachers can talk bat never teach Unless they practice what they preach.” “Penn” was certainly named correctly when lie reached the name “Old Folks, but if you are thrown with him to any extent you will find that he is old in ways and wise in mind. He is one of those fellows who always has on foot a new idea or suggestion and his value has been proved many times in our class. He has a spirit of usefulness and an ability to execute with which he backs every activity of the School. It is our prophecy that “Old Folks” was cut out for a preacher and has all but reached the first step to the pulpit. Suc- cess to you. Penn.” The Class of ’21 will always remember you as an all-around fellow. GLADYS MARGIE BENDER “Glad” Early to bed. early to rise, Makes a girl well, healthy and wise.” Gladys admits that she is slow but she gets there just the same. She is noted for tardi- ness. The Class voted to make her a present of a BIG BEN. She resented the gift, how- ever. and told us to send it to her “Home folks” instead. She has independence of thought and is just plain-spoken enough to make all admire her sincerity. She is a quiet, demure little girl who has a way of making every one like her and although she does not talk much, yet we can't say she is bashful. .' the pianist of the Class she has given us many pleasant hours. The Ali ROW Cape Charles High School WILLIAM WILLARD CHANDLER “Colonel” “Manners make the man and ofI gain fortune” Secretary of Class ’21. Cashier of High School Bank, 1920-21. Assistant Business Manager of Arrow, ’21. Business Manager of Football Team, '20. Willard has been with us through our four long and tedious years of High School. The duties of his offices have been performed gracefully and efficiently. We feel sure that the business world holds something great in store for him. Besides his ability in business he has the art of catching a Tall but Lively teacher. In class Willard has never been known to answer “I don’t know” to any ques- tion. but bravely rises and rushes into the fray. If he cannot find a fact” in his mental cupboard to suit the occasion he deftly fits in a fancy. Above all. Willard delights in mis- chief. He finds it a great task to stay in at night to study but he gets there just the same. We are wishing “Old Pal” a prosperous fu- ture. ESTELLE SADIE COLLINS Stelle” “Cheerfulness has been called the bright weather of the heart. With her dimples and smiles “Stelle” has the genius for winning hearts. Those from the locality of Townsend seem to be espe- cially susceptible. You wouldn't be surprised, though, when you learn her winning ways. Stelle” is an ardent suffragist and says that under the new order of things she is deter- mined to change her title “Miss” to Mr. (Mister). She says a smile is the only thing worth while and she is trying to live up to that philosophy. She spends a great deal of her time in cheering others and oitr class feels that it is impossible to do without her. Estelle is always ready for a joke or a frolic and is one who fulfils the definition of a true friend, and a jolly good sport. May success crown her efforts. Cape Charles Ilif h School The ARROn VERA COLLINS Stumpy ‘‘Without constancy there is no virtue, Love or friendship in the world. Editor-in-Chief of The Arrow. It was a lucky south wind last year which blew Miss Vera Collins from Capeville into our class. She has many talents, but there are two special ones in her list; playing a violin and—Well, the other we will not speak of. but we all know. Vera has taken a hobby to a very useful work, quite useful both in the present and in the future—sewing. She is keeping up with the classes and if. during the latter part of the session, you could peep into the business room you would see Vera, seated at a typewriter, making sixty words a minut- or writing shorthand at a rate of a hundred. She just radiates sunshine all the time. Her future must be happy for she has a beautiful soul. WASHINGTON BRYANT CHAKNOCK “hup” “Good nature is the beauty of the mind and is better than wit. One bright sunny day in the fall of ’21 we saw approaching C. C. H. S. a horse and buggy. When this equipage stopped in front of the building out jumped he who was des- tined to be the class jester of the Class of ’21. We are sorry that he could not have been with us during the three preceding years of our High School life. One of his bad traits is not studying. One of his greatest desires of life was to learn the art of dancing which, thank goodness, he has achieved somewhat. At the social functions of our “Old High” he is the center of much fun and proves that there are ways to have a good time other than shuffling the old soles. Shine on, “Old Top.” The ARROW Cape Charles High School RYLAND STANLEY CHARXOCK “Froggie” “Though you set the frog on a golden stool, He will soon jump back into the pool.’’ Here conies Froggie,” the largest of our runts. Large in more than one sense of the word, for when it conies to athletics he is right there with the goods, and in business, in the classroom, and with the ladies he is not lack- ing. His wit is dry, but heavens! how ridicu- lously funny. His greatest hobby is Chemis- try, as he is a thorough student at this work. Stanley did not journey to C. C. H. S. until his Senior year, but he straightway became a valued member of the Class of ’21. He is a good pal and loyal friend to all with whom he comes in contact. We only wish that we could have known him sooner. RUTH ROWELL COX “Rufus” “The vivacity of one relieves the dullness of others.” Editor-in-Chief of The Arrow. Editor-in-Chief of News Letter. Member of Basket-Ball Team, ’21. We have the pleasure of introducing to yo- Miss Ruth Cox, better known as “Rufus.’ Ruth is an important member of our class. She is always ready to take a part and do lie duty in anything that conies up. The “Blues' stand a poor chance around her because they are sure to be chased away with her giggles. If you want to locate Rufus at any time you will find her on the trail between the commer- cial room and the office. We are justly proud of our busy executive, and confidant that she cannot fail, for determination brings success. We delight in having with us such a gentle, kind-hearted girl. Here’s to your future leadership, Rufus.” May it be as true and strong in the larger field of your life as work has been in your High School life. Cape ('Iiaries Ilif h School The A It ROM MAMIE ESTHER DOSS “Biggy” “If you'd learn patience superfine, Go you to fish with rod and line” Member Basket-Ball Team, '20 and 2 . Perhaps you have heard that old adage. “The best goods come in small packages. So it is with “Biggy.” She is small but made of the right material. She has one talent, in which she can surpass all other members of the Class. The constant vibration of her tongue forces us to believe she has discovered the secret of perpetual motion. Basket-ball has been her favorite pastime, and she won her “C” both years, playing guard for the old C. C. H. S. team. In spite of her love for athletics she has held her own through the classes of Seniordom and we are sure “Biggy will make a success of anything she attempts. HELEXE ELIZABETH DUER “Theda Bara” “Delays often have dangers” Member of Basket-Ball Team, '20. Helene has been with our class all through the four hard years of High School. But we are especially glad that this is our last year in High School, for if we bad classes another year we are afraid that she would not answer to roll call and then we would be dreadfully disappointed. She has an excellent voice, which is a lovely thing in a woman and in this case has a wonderful effect upon man; also the latest reports show she is having her future home built by a special “Carpenter. With all outside interests she never neglects her studies. For her to read French seems as easy as to read English. Best wishes to you and yours from the Class of 21. The AliliOJl Cape Charles Iliyh School SALLIE DOUGLAS FITCHETT “Doug” “The secret of success is embracing every opportunity of seeking noble ends ” Social Editor Annual. Speaking of class spirit, well, “Doug” is possessed of a class spirit which is rare. Nine- teen twenty-one like all other classes has those to whom it turns for dependability. Sallie is such a person, one to whom we can entrust the execution of a difficult task. This along with her love of fun makes her eligible to the class roll of honor. Her motto is. “Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well.” Those whom she has allowed to become her friends know her to be a person of unending good sense and good humor. In spite of her digni- fied air. she does not take anything too seri- ously but is keen to appreciate real wit and humor. Are we proud of Sallie? YOU BET! MADLYN EDYTH DUNTON “Jack” “Take heed, girls, of the promise of a man, Tor it will run like a crab” Here we have the champion courteress of the Class. Light-hearted, happy-go-lucky, that’s Madlyn ! Never a care or a regret en- ters her life. A little quick in temper some- times. but it soon wears off and she is the same old Madlyn. She is a jolly good sport. She is steadfast and always willing to help when asked. The only word she uses when asked to help is “yes.” Madlyn has many pas- times but there are some she likes better than others, in fact, we might say she just “adores” dancing and Cicero. She has been with 11s since the first grade and has made a classmate worth while. W e wish you success, Madlyn. Cape Charles High School The ARROW JANE ELIZABETH GRAY “Fluffy Ruffles” “People move easiest who dance well.” Last Will and Testament. “Fluffy Ruffles” is a good old sport, but not an angel by any means, although she has a happy way of making others think so. She dropped in to see us one day during the pri- mary year and has seemed content to stay with the bunch. The first thing you notice when you see her approaching is “those irre- sistible curls”; a second glance and you are impressed with her graceful carriage. She is small in stature but big in our affections. The life and torment of the Class, and into every bit of mischief that goes around, a jolly good “pal of ours, this is Jane. Oh. those eyes! They say it takes dark eyes to “vamp.” but Jane is an exception, for hers are blue. So now at the close of her High School life, she has our best wishes for a happy life in the future. PHYLLIS HOPE CRENELLE “Phil “The lass that has many wooers oft fares the worst. This will introduce to you the most popular young lady of C. C. H. S.—Miss Phyllis Gre- nelle. She entered our class during the Senior year and captured tit first sight its most popu- lar male member. Upon Phil the gods be- stowed one of their choicest gifts—a rare and charming personality, and to it they added unbounded enthusiasm and “Yankee” ability to put things through. Phyllis’ feet, unlike others, have springs in them and for this rea- son she can't keep them still when music is in the air. Good luck to you. “Phil”! May you always enjoy the popularity that you have at the present time. The A ItSO II ('ape Charles IIi( h School MARGARET KATHERINE MAPP “Penny” “Never a duly will she shun Prom dawn to the settintj of the sun. Class Prophet. Member of Girls’ Basket-Rail Team. Fiction Editor of News. All who have the opportunity of knowing “Peggy” realize that she is a true friend, an earnest worker and a good sport. She has an interesting flash of wit which appears quite unexpectedly at times. No matter how long the rest of us work on a test we always leave her still working, and she is the first on the scene of action in the morning, busiest dur- ing the day. and among the last to leave in the afternoon. The result is A+ on history, A on geometry, and high B on all other subjects. Although she is irritated easily sometimes, it soon passes away and she is the same “Old Peggy.” She believes in two eternal princi- ples. constancy and devotion. All Seniors of ’21 can testify that she embodies her belief in her life. A little word in kindness spoken. A motion or a tear, Has often healed a heart that’s broken, And made a friend sincere.” Vice-President of Senior Class. Fiction Editor of News. Behold one of the most attractive girls in the Senior Class! Her soft black curls and dark brown eyes lure the opposite sex but they have no effect upon Elizabeth, for she is too deeply absorbed in her studies to pay any attention to “mere boys unless they hail from Texas. “Does any one know where Elizabeth is?” She is down in study hall getting her Virgil. But don’t think for a moment that she never has any fun—not at all, for every bit of mischief that goes on in the Senior Class. Elizabeth is right in it. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and Elizabeth a dull girl.” ELIZABETH J.

Athletic Editor of Ncivs. Athletic Editor of T he Arrow. Member of Baseball Team, '21. Long, lean and lanky, Francis moves slowly and with dignity unless a ball or a girl is in sight. The former he chases with lightning- like speed, the latter he falls before, a help- less victim to a bewitching smile. He does not talk much but what he says carries a mountain of meaning with it. After you are with him a few times you will readily under- stand his lack of speech. He is merely living up to the world-old truth, “A still tongue maketh a wise head.” He has crowned him- self with glory in athletics, having been the main man in football this season and also starred in basket-ball. His remarkable abil- ity to read Cicero and “vamp a lady” has won him a place among the famous men of the Cape Charles High School. “Au revoir.” Best wishes. ESTELLE MAE OUTTEN “Kid” “Enthusiasm is life lit up and shining.” Class Historian, '21. Joke Editor of News, '21. Captain Basket-Ball Team, '21. Temper and red hair are said to go together hut not in this case, for here the radiant tresses are of shining brown. Her accom- plishments are manifold. With equal skill she can throw a basket-ball goal, lecture on Cic- ero. write Latin prose, tickle the ivories, star in English, offer the cleverest toast imaginable, and “express her mind” at “a drop of the hat.” She has three pet hobbies, Portsmouth, Latin and basket-ball, but these are by no means all of her interests. She is a clear thinker and a jolly companion but is not able to take a very strong joke. Withal she has a person- ality hard to equal. LUCK!!!

She is a helpful addition to our class. Let the world slide,” Elsie will still have a good time, for she gets fun out of everything. When once you know her you discover an un- expected love of fun. that makes her a most companionable friend. It is a delight to tease her and we can do that to perfection. Her kind words and sweet smile give her a charm all her own. But with all of her fun she never neglects her studies. If you will notice her marks on her business course subjects you will predict for her immediately a successful busi- ness career. Well, so long, “Blushes,” good luck 1 CHARLES CAREW RICHARDSON “Ski l er Belter is a fool's argument, but it's very convincing when you win.” Treasurer of Senior Class.

Treasurer of The Arrow. “Stop studying and let’s have a good time” is Charlie's favorite saying. As for popular- ity, well. Skipper has the prize. His re- markable ability to converse, together with his good looks and winsome ways, have won him a place in the hearts of many sweet young ladies, but, of course, there is one heart in which he hopes to have a permanent place. In addition to his place as a heart-winner, Charlie is a jolly good sport, happy-go-lucky, cheery, kind-hearted and full of life, and stars in ath- letics. It can be said that he was the best athlete in High School, having won his “C in basket-ball, football, baseball. Good luck, “Skipper,” and may you be as successful in your future activities as you have in those of High School life. Cape Charles High School The A It ROW GRACE ROBERTSON “Darling” “A good reputation is fair estate.” Member of Basket-Ball Team. ’21. Art Editor The Arrow. Grace is kind-hearted, generous and always the same. W henever you meet her you will he greeted with a “Hey There!” She can carry a laugh and a bright smile with her from the time the cuckoo begins to sing in the morning until the stars cease winking at night. Entering High School with a purpose of ob- taining a diploma both in the business course and in High School work, Grace made an enviable record in the pursuit of her ideal. She has won High School fame in athletics, having made the Girls’ Basket-Ball Team every year during her High School course. Aside from all this we are told that some day she will put her theories of Domestic Science and Household Arts into practice “down on the farm.” LEE ROY STEVENSON “Steve” Joke Editor of The Arrow. “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men” Roy is one of those fellows who thinks that their way is best even though it proves dis- astrous. Although he has not taken any lead- ing part on the athletic held, he was there in spirit just the same and has always been one of the chief rooters. He has been our assist- ant yell leader in athletics for the last two years and has not failed to use his voice to the best advantage. Roy has no special lady friend but is very fond of them all. He seems to get a great deal of fun out of teasing others, especially a certain Sophomore. He is a self-constituted custodian of all the love secrets of the Senior Class and freely passes these secrets on when opportunity arises. We are all jealous because Roy is Miss Sara’s pet. even though he does not claim the title. But he is nice just the same. Best wishes! The ARROW Cape Charles High School FLORENCE EUNICE SPADY “Hon” “Knowledge is a treasure and practice is the key to it” Behold a typical Senior. Industry, dignity and fondness for reading are her chief traits. Beware! when Florence is seen looking over her glasses, you may be sure that there is trouble in the air. Beware! “Hon” is a proud owner of an unusual record. During her four years of High School she has never been tardy in any undertaking, has never flunked an ex- amination and has never received a demerit. She has an unlimited energy to study which is very rare among Seniors. Her work and characteristics in High School bespeak a suc- cessful college career. You will hunt a long time before you can find a better comrade than “Hon.” RUTH SAVAGE STEVENSON “Blondie” Her golden locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece ” Ruth is nnr of those “bonnes comrades” who are always willing to listen patiently and sympathetically to the ideas of her friends. She has always been a good student: and it is a well-deserved praise when a certain teacher reads her paper in class and declares, “It is a pleasure to teach this young lady.” She is one of the few curly-haired Seniors and her light tresses are envied by all of us. Ruth does not use her privileges for company on Friday evenings, but industriously spends this spare time in preparing her lessons. She has proved herself a loyal friend of the Class of 21, and as she leaves she carries with her our very best wishes.

First Vice-President of the High School Bank for 1920-21. Member of the Baseball Squad. We just can't do without “Gus.” He has been our faithful President for three years and he has never failed to do his full duty. Always in good humor, always busy, either talking to the ladies or expounding some new ideas in Cicero, though occasionally he con- lines his efforts to reading something which is in the book. Of untiring energy, he strives conscientiously to attain those high ideals which make for good citizenship. He has two pet ambitions, to get “B” on Cicero and to learn to sing. As Business Manager of the Neivs and The Arrow, he has given us a good administration, and it is due to his painstak- ing. determined efforts that the Class of '21 claims the honor of having the most success- ful business record of all the classes which have passed through the High School so far. We thank him for the distinction he has given the Class. Meet him, girls, he will not dis- appoint you! DOROTHY IRENE WILLIAMS Dot” I shall talk or I shall die. Joke Editor of the Annual. Is there any wonder we look on her with admiring eyes and feel proud that she is among us? “Dot” is truly the sunshine of our class. Her face always has that same sweet smile which seems to cheer and make others happy. Dorothy is very fond of birds, especially the “Sparrow.” A combination of wit and mischief, she is always ready to take part in any jokes and, too. “Dot has an ex- ceptionally sweet disposition, even when the joke proves to be a boomerang. She has never been known to get angry. She is a sincere friend: always ready to share one’s sorrows as well as his joys. “Old Top,” here’s best wishes from the Class of '21. The AUROW Cape Charles High School WINNIE LEE WILKINS “Finn” “He that will live in peace and rest Must hear and see and say the best ” Member of Basket-Ball Team, 21. Athletic Editor of The Arrow. “Finn” is a clever little girl. She is noted for the abundance of her black hair. She is always ready to take part in the class activi- ties and is bubbling over with class spirit. Green is Winnie’s favorite color since she has purchased a blouse of that color. Our advice to her is that she had better stay away from the cows. Evidently she has saved half of her life as this expression was overheard. “You have missed half of your life if you have never met “Finn. A good time follows Win- nie wherever she goes. Outside of this she is an interesting companion and a sincere friend. WILLIAM FRANKLIN WHITE “Buck” or “Jazz” “God made him, therefore let him pass for a man.” Joke Editor of the News. 21. Member of the Baseball Team. 1920 21. “Buck” is the spice and life of our class. One glance at his shiny black eyes will betray the mischief within the soul. Most of Willie’s time is taken up in playing pranks, and the most amusing part of it is the way he does ii and gets off without being caught. Willie terms himself a “mute and sweet little boy,” but if you were around long enough you would soon find out whether he was mute or not. Willie’s official name has always been “Buck” until recently, when his feet got happy and carried him to the land of Jazz. Since then the sobriquet “Jazz” has clung to him. The Ali 1{()} Cape Charles IIi( h School alma floater The road lias been rough as we have traveled along, But our spirits and hopes did not falter; For the place we now hold was offered by you. Our helpful and dear Alma Mater. You have taught us to strive for ideals high. Though the path to us has seemed harder; But with joy and with pride we stand here to-day, To praise you, our dear Alma Mater. We have struggled and failed during these high school days, But failures our hopes did not alter; For success is your gift to us, boys and girls, Our dearly beloved Alma Mater.

Class Poet. 32 Cape Charles Ilic h School The ARROJ1 Mentor (Elasa iftfitatJ HE SESSION of 1917-18 perhaps lias no special meaning for you, but to us it means the beginning of our High School career. We were “Frogs,” and very green “Frogs,” too. “We must be in time, said they. First we study then we play. That is how we kept the rule When we froggies went to school.” On October 18th, we organized our class, electing the following officers: Jim Nottingham, President: Elizabeth Nottingham, Vice President: Merril Adkins, Secretary: Claudia Nottingham, Treasurer. Charlie Richardson and Jim Nottingham played on the 1918 baseball team with all the “jump” that’s in a “Frog,” but otherwise we were not represented in athletics. At the end of the year we gave a banquet in honor of the Seniors and Faculty. This social event was not as elaborate as some which had been held previously, because, on account of the war, the “Frogs” played the game “fifty-fifty and bought War Savings Stamps. The next October we organized our class, electing Denard Travis, Presi- dent; Roy Stevenson, Treasurer, and reelecting the other officers. Charlie Richardson was one of the “Star” players on both baseball and basket-ball teams and Barbara Fletcher represented the “Sophs” on the girls’ basket-ball team. We had several parties during the session and in June closed our Sophomore year with a big banquet. In October, 1919, we came back in full force as “Juniors,” with more class spirit than ever before and with the determination to make our class the best in school for the last two years of our high school life. Denard Travis was unanimously elected President for his second term: Willard Chandler, Vice-President; Grace Robertson, Secretary; and Charlie Richardson, Treas- urer. We were well represented on the athletic field. Willie White starred in baseball, Francis Nottingham and Willard Chandler on the football field, while Charlie Richardson won many laurels on the football, basket-ball and baseball teams. Grace Robertson, Helene Duer, Ruth Cox, Margaret Mapp, Esther Doss and Estelle Outten won their letters in basket-ball. The school 33 The JitliOII Cape Charles High School bank was organized in the first part of the year. Out of the many office- holders the Juniors claimed three: Denard Travis, First Vice-President; Wil- lard Chandler, Cashier, and Willie White, one of the Directors. Our largest party was given at Christmas when “Santa.” under the auspices of the Junior Class, visited the Seniors and Faculty. On February 20th we gave our class play, “The Camouflage of Shirley. 'This play was the most successful ever given in C. C. H. S. by the pupils. The net proceeds were one hundred and thirty dollars ($130.00). of which we gave twenty-five dollars ($25.00) towards paying for the Victrola, sixty-five dollars ($65.00) for the equipping of the Gym, and the remainder was placed in the bank for the Senior year, which to our joy was drawing near. In March we edited our first edition of the High School News. At the end of the year the Juniors gave a “Japanese” Banquet in honor of the Seniors, Faculty and School Board. And now we are Seniors on the “home-stretch” of our long four years’ race with our coveted Diplomas hanging alluringly just in front of us. On September 20, 1920, we organized our class, electing Elizabeth Nottingham, Vice-President; Willard Chandler, Secretary, and reelecting the other officers. We have three new classmates, making us a total of twenty-nine, the largest class that has ever graduated from C. C. H. S. Out of twenty-nine, eleven of us started together in the first grade, twenty-four of us came into high school together, the greenest hunch of green “Frogs” that ever hopped into a pond. This year we were represented by Grace Robertson, Ruth Cox. Estelle Outten and Margaret Mapp on the basket-ball team. On October 15th we raised the debt on the High School News and elected the new editorial staff. Ruth Cox and Willard Chandler were the editors: Denard Travis and Charlie Richardson, the business managers. We had over a hundred and seventy regular subscribers and are glad to state that we leave the High School News standing on its own feet. Five of the Senior boys were on the football field and we expect more than that to be on the baseball team. On December 17th, we gave our class play, “Valley Farm.” This was even a greater success than “The Camouflage of Shirley, clearing us one hundred and fifty-seven dollars ($157.00). This money is being used for The Arrow. On January 18th, we entertained the Juniors, Sophomores and Faculty at school. And now the Class of ’21, to our minds the very best class that has been or can be. bids farewell to the High School that is so dear to the hearts of its members. May our dear old Alma Mater ever go onward and upward and each succeeding class be a little better than the one which has gone before. E. M. O., ’21. 34 Cape Charles Iliyh School The ARROW 3 fun Ba “All things conic to him who waits.” HAT is if they wait long enough, and truly my time of wait- ing had been meted out to me and I had, after ten years of hard work and practical experience in the newspaper world, at last realized the height of my ambition. I was, indeed and in truth, the editor of the Baltimore Sun. A few months after my appointment as editor I was sitting at mv desk reading the latest telegrams, when to my delight and aston- ishment I read the following: “Washington is very much elated over the appointment of Miss Florence Spady as Senator from Virginia. This shows the great influence of the nation-wide suffrage movement which has so soon become a factor in American political life. The appointment of Miss Spady is the highest honor yet bestowed upon a Virginia woman, but her many friends feel sure that her executive and judicial ability has done much in help- ing lier to secure this office of high attainment. This set me to thinking and wondering what had really become of the rest of my classmates. I had not heard from them for many years, that is? anything definite, although I had often seen such announcements as: “Miss Esther Doss will give one of her famous lectures on woman's rights at the Auditorium of Hull House (to-night); Miss Gladys Bender’s latest musical composition and Miss Estelle Collins’ engagement,” but of their specific tasks at this date I knew nothing. I did not have long to wait and to wonder, for the very next day I saw in the list of books to he published this fall “Scientific Farming.” This book was jointly written by Bryant and Stanley Charnock. Judging from the many interesting and helpful books written by the Messrs. Charnock since their appointment as directors of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Washington, I am sure that the farmers of the United States, and especially those of Northampton County, will receive this book with open arms. These bits of news brought to my mind such a multitude of memories of my schoolmates and the long, happy days during which I mingled with them, that I decided that I could spend my leisure time in no way that would 35 The ARROW Cape Charles High School afford me as much pleasure and satisfaction as in starting an information bureau for my own enjoyment: the substance of which would be items re- garding my own classmates of 1921. Daily I scanned the columns of the leading newspapers and took notes from the telegrams that came to the Sun until I had at last formed a memory book with the following clippings and comments: Nczv York’ Sporting News. “Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Richardson are expecting to return next week to America after spending their summer abroad. Mr. Richardson has been in- troducing that great national game of which Americans are so fond—Base- ball—in the different countries of Europe. The world of sport will be inter- ested to know that it was while he was in Italy training the King’s nine that he met his wife, Mme. Risdo, who was instructor of a wonderful school of gymnastics in Rome.” New York Times. “Miss Helene Duer, the great soloist of national reputation, sings to- night at the Metropolitan Opera House. Tickets have all been sold. Seats from ten dollars ($10.00) to fifty dollars ($50.00) each. This is Miss Duel ’s last appearance in New York grand opera, where she is always enthusiastically greeted. Cards are out announcing her engagement to Count Harree de Carpentieere. The wedding will take place early in the fall, after which the Count and Countess will spend the winter months in traveling.” New York Tribune. “Lord and Lady Vancell, of London, are in New York in the interest of the school for specialists which Lady Vancell has been instrumental in making possible for the unfortunates of London and the surrounding country. Lady Vancell will be better known to New Yorkers as Miss Elizabeth Nottingham, of Virginia.” San Francisco Call. “The world's record was broken here to-day at Willoughby Aviation Meet, when Mr. Merril Adkins, the famous American Ace, descended from an aeroplane in a parachute of his own invention from the height of two miles. Crowds await his appearance to-morrow.” 36 Cape Charles Jlic h School The ARROW Incredulous!—it seems to me—Merril an aviator! Well, wonders will never cease. Albany Star. “All Albany is astir over the resignation of Miss Vera Collins of the Household Arts Department of our High School, in which she has been teach- ing for several years. It is reported that she will make her future home near a place called ‘ Townsend,’ where she will start a school for two in domestic arts.” Charlottesville Post. “It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Mr. Fran- cis Nottingham as President of the University of Virginia and Mr. Pennewel! Applebaugh as instructor in foreign languages. The University feels very fortunate in securing the services of these two capable and exceptionally brilliant men.” New York Herald. “New York is greatly excited over the recent appearance of Miss Jane Gray, of Cape Charles, Virginia, whose success as an interpreter of classic dances has fast become renown. She is appearing each evening at the Parv- leora Roof Garden. Last evening her interpretation of ‘The Sea Mist’ was the best ever seen in New York. One of the largest affairs of New York Society was the reception given in honor of Miss Gray at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vanburon. Mrs. Van- buren. formerly Miss Phyllis Grenelle. of Elmira, New York, is the well- known society leader of our city.” Washington Post. Secretary of the Navy Stevenson is expecting to arrive shortly in Hampton Roads with the American fleet. This ends the second complete tour of the fleet around the world. Many ovations and celebrations are being planned for the Secretary’s return.” Baltimore Sun. “A brilliant reception was given last night in the banquet hall of Johns Hopkins Hospital, the occasion being a welcome tendered to the newly elected 37 The AliliOti Cape Charles High School Superintendent, Miss Sallie Fitchett, and lier assistant, Miss Elsie Paradee. The chief speaker of the evening was Miss Winnie Wilkins, the noted traveler and lecturer, who presented to the assembled guests some of her observations on hospital work in Miami. Florida, which is her present home.” Denver Tribune. “Many are the preparations being made for the wonderful exhibit of the paintings of Miss Grace Robertson, who has £0 recently become famous as the genius of the brush. While on one of her recent tours abroad Miss Rob- ertson was offered a fabulous sum to confine her talent to English scenes, but like the true American girl that she is, returned to her native land to which she has given her art.” Washington News. “Diplomatic circles will be delighted to know that the President has ap- pointed Mr. Denard Travis as the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Mr. Travis made for himself while in Washington a wonderful record in the handling of diplomatic problems and we are sure that the Presi- dent could not have found a man with more executive ability and we extend to Mr. Travis our hearty congratulations.” Milwaukee Times. “The Y. W. C. A. of our city is making plans in anticipation of the approaching visit of Miss Estelle Outten, of Virginia, who has recently been appointed President of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Outten has had varied and interesting experiences in this work and gradually her efficiency increased until she was unanimously elected to her present position. It is feared that our town hall has not the capacity to hold the throng which will crowd to hear her address.” Paris Gazette. “New York fashion seekers will be glad to know that Mme. Annanett (Miss Madlyn Dunton) will arrive soon on the Acquitania from Paris where she has been studying the styles for the past two seasons. It will be interest- ing to note that Vogue, Vanity Fair and Fashionable-dress use Mme. Anna- nett as their authority for correct fashions.” 38 Cape Charles High School The A URDU Twentieth Century Medicine. “The world of science is very grateful to Dr. Willard Chandler of the University of Colorado and his able assistant. Dr. William White, for their wonderful discovery of a permanent and complete cure of Tuberculosis. This deadly disease has been America’s greatest enemy and it is with great pride that we can say its downfall has been accomplished by two of America’s sons.” Washington Post. “The reunion of the militant suffragettes will take place here in the early part of next month. Miss Dorothy Williams will head the grand parade and since this will mark her first appearance in our city since her wonderful suc- cess as a militant in Omaha, her friends are delighted at the prospect of re- newing her acquaintance. Dame Rumour has it that Cupid has even managed to take deadly aim in the heart of a suffragette.” This completed the Senior Class roll with the exception of the two Ruths. Ruth Cox and Ruth Stevenson. I looked and looked for months but could find no trace of them. This did not suit me at all for I knew that those two industrious girls must be doing some great work worthy of mention. At last I found the desired information. One day as I was looking over the list of newest books in educational theory and practice in one of the Chicago papers, my eye fell on the following paragraph which I soon had among my clippings: “A manual on the teaching of English by R. Cox and R. Stevenson has just been published. It is one of the best editions in the series of educational books by the same authors. This book gives clear and definite statements of practical methods in the teaching of English in the four grades of high school. It is attractively written and may be readily understood by even an amateur teacher.” When this portion of my scrap book was thus completed I was indeed proud that my efforts had ended in such success; a record of every one of my classmates. I kept these clippings in a secluded spot and it was always with pride that I would turn to this portion of my memory book, and I was once or twice guilty of showing them (of course with pride) to a number of my editor friends, one of whom insisted that I allow her to have them published in one of the Virginia papers. After much consideration I consented to do so, although it was with some hesitancy lest the world should fail to appreci- 39 The AHHOII Cape ('harlcs Ifiyh School ate the contents, for I realized that only those fortunate enough to have been members of the Senior Class of '21 could really know the significance of these news items. But if by chance this article should fall into the possession of one of our number where it will be treasured as a memento of days past, I shall feel that my task is well done, and the results of my diligent search shall mean to the life of some one what it means to me—a reminder of the days spent at dear old C. C. H. S.—though sometimes days of sadness, for the most part days of joy; and as I look back I see only the brightness for, after all, they were days crowded with success which brought to us Commencement, Diploma and Class Day, when the Prophet prophesied all these things, and to think that they have really happened! “Of all horrid, hideous notes of woe, Sadder than owl’s songs or the midnight blast.

We met to organize our class and chose as officers Willie McGrath. President: Ida Mae Sweeney. Vice-President: Katherine Stephenson, Sec- retary: and Raymond Grimmer. Treasurer. Shortly after this we lost several members but others took their places and brought the number up to twenty-four. From the beginning, the Class was socially inclined, and showed this trait by several parties and an oyster roast. V e were well represented on the athletic field, having several boys and girls on the various teams. We closed a happy year with a banquet of which we were very proud, for the Seniors and Faculty, bidding the Seniors good spread on their journey through life. We returned in Septeml er with twenty-four meml)ers, determined to make our class the best Sophomore Class ever. We reorganized the Class, electing John Milligan. President: Willie McGrath, Vice-President: Page Wilkins, Treasurer, and Alice Disharoon. Secretary. The first of our merrymakings for the year began with a party at the home of John Milligan. This was followed by several other social events scattered throughout the year. We had five members on the athletic field, while the whole Class supported them by leading in the organized cheering at all public occasions. On April 30th one of the greatest successes of our High Sch x� l career took place—a play, The Kingdom of Hearts Content. After paying all debts we still had some money to deposit for our Class, so we now began to feel like a business organization. As the Domestic Science Class was composed for the most part of Sophomore girls, it undertook the plans for a banquet, which was given on June 4th to the Seniors and Faculty. When we came back as Juniors, very much to our sorrow, we found that we had lost three active members but their places have been filled by five new members who are doing their share to support all school activities. We also lost our beloved principal. Mr. D. W. Peters, but his place has been ably filled by Mr. DeHaven. This year our officers were the same as in our Sophomore year. We were again well represented in athletics. On March 18th we pre- 52 Cape Charles High School The Alt ROM sented to the public Polly Lou,” which proved to be a great success. The social functions of the Juniors have been supported with the usual enthusiasm. And now we come to the close of our Junior year, with tender memories of a joyful past, of days when the hands of all upper-classmen seemed to be against us and our bands against all those above us in grade—days when we fought each other, figuratively, and fought together when an outsider came into school affairs—with memories of days so dear we are closing one more chapter in our school life. But we look forth to a future bright with oppor- tunities, to a session when we, as Seniors, will try to better the Cape Charles High School. Elizabeth Beatty, ’22.

So say we! Of the Class of 1923! When the term 1912-13 began it saw the birth of a new class, the future class of 1923. and we are proud to say that we were the class which entered the first grade at the opening of our splendid new school build- ing. We became “Rats” September 17, 1919, knowing nothing of the ways of high school life, and my, didn’t we catch it that year! But we soon got on our feet and entered into the spirit and showed them just what the “Rats” could do. On June 4th, at the close of the session 1920. the Class entertained the Graduates at the home of Virginia Wilson. During the evening, a little com- edy sketch. “Madam Brook's Beauty Parlor,” portraying the mighty Grad- uates, was given, and afforded much amusement. Delightful refreshments were served and it was quite an event in the history of our class, our first real class party. Now we come to our Sophomore year, the session 1920-21, when our class was organized under the flying colors on September 28th, with the fol- lowing officers: Elizabeth Hogwood, President; Helen Goffigon, Vice-Presi- dent ; Elizabeth Hurlock, Treasurer, and Virginia Wilson, Secretary. In athletics the Sophomores can boast of a member of the Class on the girls' basket-ball team, four members on the football team and two members on the baseball team. On December 16, 1920, the Class gave a Christmas party in honor of the Faculty and Graduating Class of 1921. A very festive occasion this was for us. Joyous days ahead of us! For we still have in view the honor of enter- taining the largest class that has yet graduated from Cape Charles High School. We feel that we are just on the first step of the stairs which is a prophecy of the landing; that we have started right and we have only to keep on in that direction and the end will be more than we have longed for. “Our aim is high.

Twenty-four additional members have joined our Class from time to time, making a total of thirty-eight Frogs in the school pond. Soon after school started we found it necessary to elect our officers for the coming year. They are as follows: Herbert Stevenson, President; Mary Coulbourn.

Finally, after a great deal of croaking and hopping about, which you know all Frogs can do. we obtained for our motto, Carry on, our colors, blue and orange, and our flower, the yellow rose. A short while after school started we were discouraged to find that on account of the large number of Frogs in our pond, we would have to be di- vided into two sections, A and P . We have had no classes whatsoever to- gether, this being the first time in the history of the school that such a thing has been necessary. F'or just recently having been promoted from the stage of Tadpoles to Frogs, we are doing splendid in athletics, having quite a number of the girls on the basket-ball team, and the boys will no doubt do equally as well in base- ball this spring. Although we have not had social functions so far, we are planning quite a unique one for the Seniors when school closes. It will l e our first affair of this kind and we do not intend to lie outclassed. The only thing that has really bothered us is the stately and superior air of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. They seem to have completely for- gotten the fact that they also were once Frogs and even dwelt in a similar pond. However, when we, at the close of school, come out of our pond and are promoted to the rank of Sophomores we mean to show them that we can and will splash just as much mud as they have done heretofore.

We have secured Mrs. Louis Restein as coach for the season and under her efficient direction, the girls have picked up considerably, and with this new “pep” and enthusiasm together with an increased skill in handling the ball they expect to win many honors for C.

This year we boast of the highest number of pupils enrolled—twenty-two. Our typewriters have also increased through the efforts of Mr. A. S. DeHaven, our able principal, from five to eight in number. The twenty diligent students who have been taking typewriting this year have made a great show of speed by attaining the standard point of forty words per minute, while some have even surpassed it. Our Shorthand class of fifteen students owes thanks to Miss Lively, who did her utmost to help the students to make the required amount of one hundred words per minute. Five pupils of the enrollment are in the Bookkeeping class. • They have been doing good work and have completed their books with due honor. Our enrollment is made up of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Cape Charles High School expects to graduate a number of efficient business men and women this year. Elsie P., ’21. 71 i The ARROW Cape Charles High School burial Nrms HE old adage. “There is safety in numbers,” holds good i? all lines of life, in work as well as in play. This is no less true in school. Since the number of students at C. C. H. S. has increased, there has been a corresponding growth in work, service, and cooperation. We have a greater response from the serious side of school life. The marks this year show that there has been more work and better re- sults. This year we found that it was necessary to have all our social activ- ities at school instead of at a private home on account of the great increase in numbers. By no means have we let our social life interfere with our work, as you may see by our honor roll each month. The social feats of this session may be summed up as follows: A Hallow- e'en party given by the Juniors at the home of Miss Edith Reed, a lieach party given by the Faculty, a tea given by the Faculty at the School in honor of the patrons of the School, a party given by the Sophomores in honor of the Sen- iors and Faculty, a party given by the Seniors in honor of the Juniors, Sopho- mores and Faculty, and also a party given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors and Faculty. There will be other entertainments later and judging from the past all will be a decided success.

Our whole aim in this, as in all our work, is to give the greatest attention to all the details, and produce printing that will be a credit to the institutions from which the publications are issued. Our books will be just as good in the many years to come, when an annual is of greatest value, as they are to-day. J. P. Bell Company Incorporated Lynchburg. Va. ■
