And the lessons of life are learned. When the oldest memories are faded. And the newest pages are turned. We shall rest, but just for a moment. A pause ere we go on our way, To the goal where our knowledge guides us. . By the road that it leads us to-day. The friends that so wisely have helped us To the spot where the road has its turn. Shall hover about us in spirit. While great truths of life are learned. They shall see some day that their teachings Have not been always in vain. For at last we shall choose the pathway Which their guidance and faith have ordained. So farewell to thee. Alma Mater. Farewell to the golden days. For the call of life now bids us O’er the rugged and smooth highways. If ever your courage fails you. And nothing in life seems worth while. Just think of your Alma Mater, And continue your course with a smile.

Manager of Football Team. 1922. Member Baseball Team, 1920-21-22-23. Member Basket-Ball Team. 1923. President of Class, 1921-22. 1922-23. Here we have the one who has been our faithful President during our Junior and Senior years. Good-hearted, happy-go- lucky, that’s “Tubby.” But if he takes a notion to tease you—well, you had better watch out. In football, baseball, or almost any other sport he is one of the biggest stars in the High School constellation. His one terrible bugbear is Caesar, and when he rises to orate we all know just what is coming next, that inevitable. Oh. I dunno, something or other. And even though he is Miss Sara’s pet. ’23 thinks a lot of him and wishes him Bon Voyage” over the sea of life. 15 T II E — A R R () fl Mary Elizabeth Hogwood “Light or dark or short or tall. She sets a spring to snare them all 9 President of ’21. Vice-President, 1920-22-23. Class Historian, 1920. Member of Glee Club. Class Physician. The very smallest unit of the “original eight. yet she takes up a terribly big cor- ner in our hearts. But how could it he otherwise, for “Liz” is a most irresistible girl with her charming manner and a sunny disposition which makes her popular with all who know her. She dances divinely and at any social function, if her pretty bobbed head is numbered among those present you may be sure she is one of the belles of the evening. Elizabeth is a good old sport, always ready to enter into every bit of mischief, and willing to help when there is any work to be done, and best of all. she has executive ability and a spirit to use that ability when and where it is need- ed. We couldn’t praise her too much for, all in all, she has a rare personality. 16 m-----T H E — A R R () W-------y Virginia Adeline Wilson A daughter of the gods divinely tall And most divinely fair. Eclitor-in-Chief of Arrow. 1923. Vice-President Glee Club. 1923. Class Secretary, 1921-22-23. Class Historian, 1921. Virginia, one of the original eight, is a quiet but influential character in our class. Je ne sais fas are the only French words that do not belong to her vocabulary. Al- though fun is her watchword, Virginia seems to have a hypnotic influence over the Academic Department and in English IV she is the eighth wonder. Although we tease her very much about it. we all envy Virginia her shining crown of glory and we are of the opinion that it is only one of the many indications of her sunny, cheerful disposition. 17 m-----T II E — A IIII o w Allison Stephen Mills “He only is a well made man Who has a good determination” Treasurer of Class. 1919-20-22-23. Member of Baseball Team, 1922-23. Member of Basket-Ball Team. 1923. Allison is one of the original eight, who began their school life in the present C. C. H. S. He established his record for com- bining work and mischief then, and has always lived up to it. Allison is a typical High School boy. Teases the girls, enters into all social activities, and goes out for basket-ball and baseball. In the latter sport he won his “C.” His chief claim to dis- tinction lies in his business ability, al- though it is his first year in this line of work, his progress makes us feel certain that the business world holds something great in store for him. Well, Allison, old timer, we wish you the best luck and may the same success that you have achieved here attend you wherever you may go. r T II E - A Ii li () It Belle Moore Brownley “But ( cuius must be born and never can be taught.” Class Testator, 1923. Member Glee Club. Orchestra (Pianist, and Secretary and Treasurer). “Music bath charms to soothe a savage, bust a rock, and eat a cabbage.” Very well can the saying be applied in this case to the musician whose charming person- ality has won so many friends. Always looking on the bright side of life, we may truly term her an optimist. With her won- derful disposition and other traits she was voted the most popular girl in High School and we feel sure that she will always merit the popularity which she now possesses. Though her career as a musician has just begun, we prophesy a very brilliant future for her. 19 m-----T II E — A II no w Alberta Rebecca Dean Cox What is your sex's earliest, latest care, Your heart's supreme ambition.' To be fair Athletic Editor of the Arrow. Cheer Leader. 1922-23. Member of Cilee Club. Member of Basket-Ball ream, 1920-21. Mix together one brown bobbed head, one pair of gray eyes, an adorable little pug nose, and sweeten with a very tempt- ing mouth. Add all the mischief that can possibly be found and stir thoroughly. The result will be Miss Alberta Rebecca Dean Cox. Dean is a very sweet, unsophisti- cated little girl, although she tries to make you think otherwise. She has been with us quite a number of years and during that time has been successful in all her. work and a good old pal to all of us. Her great- est talent is acting and somehow we feel that sonic day she will be quite a success in this work. Or will she just settle down and “say her lines” for just one good man? I wonder. 20 T II E - A R R () Jf Ruth May Callive “Honor lies in honest toil” Assistant Class Poet. Ruth has shown herself to he a loyal member of any enterprise taken up by the class and has always done her part and more, if needed, with a good spirit. She is quiet in appearance but is true to that old saying. “Still waters run deep.” Also among her other accomplishments she has done splendid work in the Commercial Course, and we are sure the business world holds in store great things for Ruth. 21 m-----T II E - A II II o w Margaret Louise Disharoon “Dark eyes, eternal soul of pride, Deep life in all that is true” Class Historian. Member of Glee Club. Xo puny persiflage. Xo hocus-pocus. Just a lovable. honest-to-John straightfor- wardness of manner, and a truly infectious sense of humor—and you have a thumb- nail sketch of Margaret. She reminds one of a competently progressive business wo- man. or better yet. an idyllic Math teacher. That leads us to add that Margaret has always led her class in Mathematics. We just don’t know what it is in those brown eyes that seems to go straight to our hearts. Her immediate response when asked to do anything makes Margaret a great favorite with the whole school. Old girl, we’re bettin’ on you to establish a record for your dear old Class of ’23. 22 W-------T H E — A R R () JV---------------- Marion Louise Gladstone Hoy day, what a sweep of vanity comes this way” President of Glee Club. C lass Prophet, 1923. Class Historian. 1922. A wealth of dark chestnut hair, large eyes of blue, and a winning smile, that’s Beasy,” one of the dearest of our class- mates. She is genial, sympathetic, and has a charming personality. In general, Louise is just an honest-to-goodness pal whom any one would be proud to claim as a friend. Louise has been endowed with many accomplishments. Play the piano? Why, yes. of course, she can play and sing, too. and her school work is always well done. In the Glee Club she is one of our most active members. At all of our so- cial functions she seems to add a certain charm and a large amount of humor to the occasion. Vet with all this, she does not shirk her duty. But when something has to be done she does not fail. Just says, “I will,” and that once said you may be sure she will. In fact, we just couldn’t have gotten along without Louise, for “To know her is to love her and to name her is to praise.” 23 w-----T II E — A H U o W----------; John Allen Doss “Faith, that's as well said as if I had said it myself.” Art Editor of Arrow. 1923. Football Player, 1921-22-23. Although this is our first year’s experi- ence with John, we wouldn’t do without him for anything, for his knowledge could hardly be surpassed. He is really the working member of our class. If you ever want any questions answered, or want to know anything, just ask “Bunny.’’ He is an all-round athlete and takes part in any- thing that comes around. W e, as a class, could hardly record all his accomplish- ments. Best wishes and good luck to you, John. 24 m— t ii k — a r n o w-v Helen Thompson Goffigon “Nay, her foot speaks” Vice-President Class, 1920-21. Class Xttrse. If you ever see a figure looking like the t’needa Biscuit advertisement running across the diamond—why, it’s Helen. But gentlemen and fair youths, BEWARE! Xever let her within your gaze lest you fall for her and falling break your hearts! She is a wonderful dancer, the hoys will vouch for that, but she has brains, too, and stands high in her classes. Her disposi- tion is cheerful and—hut. goodness, if we stopped to elaborate on “H” we’d till the Annual, so we’ll just sum her traits up and class her as a “Brick.” 25 m-----T II E - A li li () W--------v Elizabeth Arinthea Hurlock Her very frowns are fairer far Than smiles of oilier maidens are.” Class Poet. Class Treasurer. 1920-21. Member of Glee Club. Cheer Leader. 1922-23. If you have ever met a girl with more ability than Elizabeth you have one on the rest of us. No matter how well you know her you cannot prophesy just what she will do next. There is one thing certain about her, “Every picture tells a story. and that widespread smile is the index of a mischievous and jolly disposition. She never worries about anything, but takes life easy and always has a good time. It is our sincerest wish. Elizabeth, that you may be as successful in establishing your future career as you have been in estab- lishing yourself in the hearts of your schoolmates. 26 R R () Jf m----- T II E — ; Myrtle Gertrude McGrath . “Charms strike the eye, but merit wins the soul Business Manager of Arrow. 1923. Member of Glee Club. Strange and devious are the ways and activities of Myrtle. One of her outstand- ing features is her power to argue with— any one; perhaps that is why she can twist all the knots out of Cicero’s famous argu- ments. But one thing we can’t understand is her ability to keep a straight face (?) amid the general confusion in History Class. She is one of the best of friends and the better we know her the better we like her. Our Business Manager’s success will not cease when she leaves C. C. H. S.. for we feel sure that she will win as much fame at Fredericksburg as she has here and we offer her our hearts full of good wishes for the best luck. 27 01485301015353530102000210029148485348535348010148235348534853012323232323020202270702000200020202020010 W-----T II E — A It It () W-------- Christine Parker The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators. Joke Editor of Arrow, 1923. Member of Glee Club. Member of Basket-Ball, 1923. And she has! Ask any one from Cape Charles High. Her years here have shown us that though the phrase “big brown eyes, rash and reckless” sometimes applies to her. she has another side, a serious and capable side, which she has shbwn by her progress in the Commercial Course. Few people arc rarely found as happy and con- tented as she and she can keep a class amused indefinitely. She is always cour- teous. always sweet, so we do not doubt that she will be liked wherever she may go. 28 m-----T II E - A R R O W-----------V Ernest Abdell Churn The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes inconvenient ” Business Manager of Arrow. 1923. Business Manager of Class. 1921-22-23. Cashier of H. S. Bank. 1921-23. Secretary and Treasurer of Athletic As- sociation. 1922-23. We can’t help being proud of Ernest and we just couldn’t do without him. He is the business genius of the class and if there’s anything about advertising and business matters in general that Ernest doesn't know —well, it's not worth knowing. The only fault we find with Ernest is that he suffers with excessive modesty, or bashfulness, shall we say?—for though his good looks have captivated many a maiden’s heart he has always failed to follow up the advan- tage. But perhaps both he and we are better off for it. because, as it is. he can devote all his spare time to making a finan- cial success of the Arrow and all the other undertakings of dear old ’23. 29 R R () II m----- T II K — , Mary Catherine Schaefer She who hinds her soul to knowledge steals the key to heaven.” Editor-in-Chief of Arrow, 1923. Secretary and Treasurer of Glee Club. To begin with—but just where would one begin to express our love and admira- tion for Catherine? During her three years with us she has won a place in our hearts and a position in the school which will be Idled with difficulty by any one else. Whenever you meet her you will be greet- ed by a “hey there.” Her one failure is “TALKING,” for when Miss Sara hears any one using that deadly weapon, the tongue, she knows before looking it’s Cath- erine. She may be called a magnet, for she has the power of drawing every one she meets around her by her charming personality and winning smile. Her good nature and excellent ability have not gone unrewarded, and may your success con- tinue. Catherine. 30 T II E - A R ROlf Eleanor AtLee Scott “A true friend is forever a friend.'’ Assistant Social Editor. Eleanor is a charming, light-haired maiden, but far from that class known as “light-headed.” The very essence of grace and daintiness, she is loved by Faculty and students alike. She is one of those happy beings who get the best out of life and the way she conies out on top in everything from an interview with a teacher to an automobile accident is amazing. Eleanor was cut out to be a diplomat’s wife but in the meantime she spends her time working with us and using her 500 Kilowatt smile, and that alone will get her anywhere. 31 m------T II E — A H li () Ur Helen Marie Taylor True as the dial to the sun, Although it be not shined upon. ' Social Editor of Arrow. 1923. Member of Glee Club. All so different. No pomp, nor vanity, nor pretense. Simple clothes, and an at- home manner characterize Marie. Her very refinement and a certain inherent per- sonal plainness remind one. not of sirenic. peacock women, blit rather of a Hawthorne heroine. Marie is a true thinker, broad- minded. always capable of seeing her oppo- nent's point of view. Her unassumed quiet- ness makes Marie a leader in any crowd, and beneath her external attractiveness there is the leaven of good common sense. When she departs into the outer world she will carry with her the love and best wishes of all her classmates. 32 T II E A Ii Ii () Jf Ethel Emma Ward “Gentle of sl'cccli, beneficent of mind.” Assistant Joke Editor. Cheerful, steadfast, and sympathetic, she is possessed of that gentle voice which is an excellent thing in woman. Always hav- ing time to play, to enjoy life, yet never neglecting her work. Ethel’s disposition is one of the best we know. Modest about her accomplishments, never boring you with the “ego”: generous to a fault, Ethel is a rare combination of friend and pal, much loved and appreciated by all who know her. Good luck and best wishes from your classmates of 1923. 33 !! 7!! !

So it was when the Class of '23 entered the primary department of Cape Charles High School. Yes. we faced just such a situation. “Our High School building, as we call it now and we think we have a .perfect right to this claim, for we were the first class to enter, was new and this, of course, made us feel all the more important. And Oh, the first sight of Miss Scott! The President of the I nited States was but a midget to her in our estimation. And it was with sinking hearts that we looked up, O so far, into that serious face. How- ever, one look from those kindly eyes, one tone of that gentle voice and she found her way into the hearts of each and every one of us, where she has remained ever since. She gave us such a good start that—well, you see where we are now. My! but we had fun in the grades. There were the usual missed lessons, childish pranks, stern teachers, repentant pupils, new resolutions, and presto! We rapidly passed the milestones of primary and grammar grades and with joyful hearts we looked forward to the entrance on the last leg of our journey—High School life. Our final summer vacation days before entering High School were filled with visions of what was in store for ns during the four coming years. So the session 1918-19 opened with twenty-eight fresh, green, laughing frogs rejoicing over the recent change which had taken place—the metamor- phosis of the tadpole to the frog. In High School at last, which had been the very height of our ambition for tbe past seven years, we felt that we held a place of prominence that could be properly filled by none other than the Class of '23. We lost no time in organizing our class, electing the following officers: Arthur Page Disharoon, President; Elizabeth Hogwood, Vice-President; Grace Wyatt, Secretary; and Allison Mills, I reasurer. We chose green and gold for our class colors, Marechal Xeil rose, and Not Who But What for our motto. 35 m— t ii k — a ii it o lr During this, our Freshman year, the class, both girls and boys, was well represented in athletics. Our chief social function of the year was the Ban- quet, given June second at the home of irginia ilson, in honor of the Seniors and Faculty, after which we disbanded for our summer vacation. In the following September we came hack with a stronger determination than ever before to make good and get all out of school life that there was in it. Again our first work was organization. We elected Elizabeth Hogwood, President; Helen Goffigon, Vice-President; Elizabeth I Unlock. Treasurer; and Virginia Wilson, Secretary. As Sophomores we took an active part in athletics and planned for a full social season. But just here the hacuity seemed to think the social hee in our bonnet seriously threatened our scholastic advancement and as class grades are far more important than parties in the eyes of teachers the order went forth, “No banquets nor parties nor plays as social functions shall he given by any class below the Juniors. 'Phis blighted our hopes, stirred our resent- ment, and made us feel that the whole blooming hunch was picking at us. It took an unlimited supply of faith for us to trust our leaders, but after we had expressed ourselves we rallied loyally to the leadership which had never failed us and soon we were convinced that in these rigid rules the Faculty knew best. Mr. DeHaven did consent for us to have a Christmas party at the school build- ing, however, which indeed brought comfort to our wounded feelings and great pleasure to our guests. And so the year drew to a close. C ircumstances had taken away two of our number, but with twenty-six loyal, determined members we faced our Junior year hopefully. The summer months of '21 gave us a short breathing spell and with the opening of the session '21-22. we started in with renewed hope and energy. At last we had reached our Junior year and determined to hold the Fac- ulty to their promise, we began our social activities with an oyster roast at the home of Elizabeth Hogwood. In athletics two of our boys starred in football and several in baseball. Directly after Christmas we began work on our play, “Line Busy.” which was presented February the twenty-fourth, and proved to he a wonderful success. We closed our most successful year with a banquet for the Seniors and Faculty at the home of Eleanor Scott, and with joyful hearts we looked forward to our Senior year. And now we are Seniors! Though at times it is very hard for us to realize it. And Oh, what joy! One morning, early in the session, Mr. De- Haven called us in assembly and made the announcement, All pupils making ‘C’ or above on their subjects and as much as ‘B' on their deportment will he 36 m— r ii e — a h n o i v-► exempt from all examinations.” This is the first time that we have had the good fortune to enjoy the exemption system and we were determined to profit by it. thus escaping those horrid exams. Again we are well represented in athletics both on the football and base- ball field. Our play presented January the twenty-sixth, was an overwhelming suc- cess, while the party given to the Juniors and Faculty probably stands out as one of the greatest social functions of the year. And now our happy high school days draw to a close. The last few mo- ments are tinged with sadness. We realize that when the session of ’22-23 shall have come to an end. never again will our class answer to the roll call of dear old Cape Charles High School, or any other high school roll call for that matter. We feel that we owe our Alma Mater a deep and tender gratitude for her kindly care and careful training. We realize that “To whom much is given of him much shall be required.” And so we pledge to the Cape Charles High School a firm resolve to ever live true to her ideals and traditions. “In every pulse of Friendship’s heart There breeds unfelt a throb of pain----- One hour must rend its links apart. Though years on years have forged the chain. “So ends Class ’23. a High School play. We all must hear the Prompter’s call To fairer scenes and brighter day: Farewell! I let the curtain fall.” M. D„ ’23. 37 rn--TII E — A li R () W- “The Witching Hour” T WAS after the Junior party and I had just gotten home, so tired and sleepy I scarce knew what to do. The fire in the open grate looked very inviting, and with a sigh of relief I dropped into the hig chair before it. As I sat there content just to rest and watch the flames, they seemed to form them- selves into a thousand fanci ful shapes, so vague that I could not distinguish them one from another. It wasn't long before I heard a clock in the distance begin to chime. I counted the strokes, twelve of them, and as the last one died away suddenly from the flames jumped six little red men, each with a tiny golden wand in his hand. These tiny folk joined hands and began a gay elfin dance, and O! how they danced in and out and round about the fire, out on the hearthstone and into the flames again, shouting and laugh- ing. and singing merry snatches of song. Then their dance grew slower and slower until they stood still and began to stir the fire with their golden wands. As they stirred, chanting magic words the while, the fire seemed to die down. Above it appeared a heavy vapor that descended like a curtain over the glow- ing coals until the room was left in total darkness. I wondered what could he the meaning of this. But I did not have to wonder long for suddenly there appeared on the curtain-like cloud these words emblazoned in shining golden letters—“The Class of '23—Its Future. The letters faded away and the cloud slowly opened, revealing a brilliantly lighted stage. It appeared to be a tense moment of a love scene and the hero was kneeling humbly at the feet of the heroine, who seemed to bend a willing ear to his pleadings. The girl looked up and I caught a certain well-known smile. It wasn’t as much of a giggle as it used used to be. but the same smile, after all, and it belonged to Dean, one of the jolliest of my classmates. From the amount of applause which I heard at the end of the play she must have reached the goal of her ambition—A Stage Star. The scene changed to a room all white, the sides of which were lined with cribs and trundle beds. On the floor played a number of chubby, red-cheeked 38 T II E — A It It () ft babies and above tbe door I saw a sign, “Miss Disharoon's Day Nursery, Ward No. 3. A demure looking lady entered whom I at once recognized as our own gentle Margaret. Then the white walls of tbe nursery faded to the more elaborate ones of a large drawing-room, and in place of tbe babies I saw on tbe floor magnifi- cent rugs. Everything seemed in readiness for an afternoon tea and tbe first guests were just arriving. Something about the air of tbe hostess seemed strangely familiar and as she spoke I knew that it could be none other than “Liz Hurlock. She was greeting some distinguished looking person and I beard her say. “My dear, may 1 present Countess De-Majorine, who was Miss Eleanor Scott, of Virginia. I am sure you have heard of her famous hus- band, who is at present tbe French Ambassador to our Country.” I turned my eyes to tbe guest of honor and saw that it was in truth tbe same Eleanor who was one of '23. Soon the room was filled with guests, who stood about in groups, chatting. But all became silent, when the hostess came forward and announced that Mrs. Jo-Nes, one of her old school friends, and a noted pianist at present, had kindly consented to render a selection from Chopin. Looking toward the piano I saw a slender, graceful figure and a golden head that I remembered very well. It was Belle, and as she played I knew that she had perfected the art at which she had always been so adept. Soon tbe music seemed to die in the distance and the cheerful room also vanished. In its stead I saw tbe Editor s office of tbe Neii’S, (piite a prominent paper. The young man at the desk turned and I recognized Ernest. The office boy announced a visitor and in a moment our fun-loving Allison entered. I understood from his conversation that he was now a wealthy Southern planter, and being in New York on business had dropped in to see his “Cam- pus Twin of school days. I always thought that Allison and Ernest would be a success in whatever they undertook. Then I saw again the inside of a theatre. Back of the footlights, I could see a scarlet figure whirling about in a “Dance of the Flames.” Her flying feet seemed hardly to touch the floor, she was so light and graceful. When the dance was over and she came forward to bid farewell to tbe audience. I saw that it was Helen, big brown eyes and all. The next number on tbe pro- gram was a song by Miss Marie Taylor, the prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Marie's voice had developed wonderfully, but it still had that alluring sweetness that we had admired when she was a member of the “Cdee Club.” 39 m------T II E — A II n o w Next there appeared in the fireplace a clipping from a newspaper. The headlines read: “Miss Schaefer's Latest Book a Wonderful Success. 1 read on and found that Katherine was the leading American Novelist, also that her latest book was illustrated by the most gifted artist known to the world for centuries—John Doss. I always knew that Katherine and John would mount to a high pinnacle of fame, for they were among the brightest in our class, which is. of course, saying a great deal. Now the newspaper vanished and 1 saw a dry-dock where a crowd was assembled. On the railway ready to be launched stood a graceful white yacht. I heard one man say to another that the craft was to be christened by the owner's fiancee. They were to be married the next week and intended to spend their honeymoon cruising the Southern waters. The ship was to be named Maryland. It seemed that this name carried with it some cherished memory. As the man finished speaking, I saw a young girl in white approach the prow of the boat. She lifted her brown eyes to her lover's face with a happy smile and 1 recognized—Christine. Oh. yes, now 1 understood about the “Maryland part of it. The vision disappeared, and in its stead I beheld a garden in far-off China. On a bench near the wall sat a minister and his good wife. They were teaching a group of little Chinese children about the Bible. I had seen the face of the woman before and as she spoke I knew that the soft, sweet voice belonged to one whom I had known as Ethel Ward. I might have guessed that one so gentle and amiable would find some good work in the world. But I was not to enjoy the quiet calm of this picture long for it grew dimmer and dimmer until it faded entirely and there appeared a ball park where one of the games of the World Series was being played. The star player had just made a home run and was receiving the congratulations of his friends. Some one asked him how he managed to do it and his reply was: “Oh. I dunno, something or other. Now I knew that there was just one person who had a patent on that phrase, and as he turned I was convinced that it was surely “Tubby.” From the appearance of things he was making Babe Ruth look to his laurels. Now there stood before me the front of a fashionable shop on Broadway. In the window was a card announcing that Madame Wilson had just returned from Paris with the latest styles and that she was also showing several models that she herself had designed. Some of these were creating a sensation at the 40 m---TIIE — A K I{ () V-► French resorts. Looking in I spied a tall, dignified figure with a shining head and transparent complexion that 1 knew were Virginia’s. And so “Red had become a designer. Well, of all things! A sudden darkness came over this scene and when the light returned, it disclosed the office of the President of the United States. The Chief Execu- tive sat at his desk giving dictation to his private secretary, a young lady with a wealth of sunny hair, bent diligently over her work. There was a knock at the door and Ruth Callive raised her head. When the door opened there stood Myrtle. What on earth was she doing calling on the President? Maybe she had just come to see Ruth, but no, she only spoke to her and passed on to His Excellency, who most cordially extended his hand. From their greeting it seemed that they had met before and were quite friendly. Every now and then I would catch a part of their conversation. I heard enough to piece this together. That Myrtle had for some years been the leader of the suffrage movement, but that she had retired from that position and was at present mayor of her home town. Cape Charles. It seemed that she wanted him to use his influence in encouraging the people to have the streets paved. Well, goodness knows they needed it! Once again the vision melted into thin air and this time I saw a picture prettier than any had been before. It was a ranch in the golden West, yet it did not have the appearance of these pioneer ranches of which we read in books. For in the middle of the picture stood a white stone mansion, surrounded by the most beautiful terraced gardens that I had ever seen. The gardens were a riot of color, and from the foot of the lowest terrace stretched away miles upon miles of green fields. And what were those animals grazing in the dis- tance? It really sounds quite unpoetic in so inspiring a vision, but. they were really—mules. My eyes wandered back to the mansion, to the veranda where a dainty little lady stood, looking off into the distance. My heart gave one wild leap, for last but by no means least of my classmates, I saw Elizabeth, my dear old pal. I followed the direction of her intent gaze and saw coming nearer and nearer a tall figure on horseback. As he rode into the driveway and up to the veranda I found that it was—O! never mind who, but there he was greeting his wife. He had been on horseback, and in the distance 1 could still see the mules. And thereby hangs a tale. I wondered, as the last scene grew invisible if my little elves would be kind enough to give me just a peep into my own future life. But no. It is not good for one to gaze into his own future. The cloud curtain rolled back 41 T II E — A Ii II () W together, and as it began to disappear I could see the little red men vigorously stirring the fire. The vapor vanished entirely, the elves jumped out in front of the fire, made a tiny bow and jumped back into the fast dying flame just as the clock boomed the hour of one. Hearing the clock I stirred and stretched myself. I looked into the fireplace to see if my elfin friends might not jump out again, hut they had vanished altogether and only the glowing coals were left. Was it true that my visions, even the fairy men, had been a dream? But if it was (which 1 hardly believe, for the little men and their pretty pictures seemed very real ) it will he nice in the future, when my comrades take up their respective places in life, to say: “Oh. I knew they'd he a success, for I dreamed it many, many years ago. So I dipped into the Future of the Class of ’23, And with the aid of elfin magic saw the things that were to he. 42 m---TII E — A R R () W-- Class Diagnosis Nurse .... Physician Nurse—Good morning, Doc. Doctor—Why, good morning. How are our patients this morning? Nurse—Not so well. I’ve been through all the rooms and find that the Senior Class is about to pass out. She came to the Cape Charles High School Hospital yesterday, September 17th, and is very weak; something must be done if she is to survive Graduation; she seems to be on her last legs right now. Doc.—Then to quote Miss Sara I might say, “She draws a blank. But what seems to be her trouble? Nurse—She seems to be suffering with Toomuchholiday Malady. At times she is absolutely delirious and incessantly talks of commencement, gray - o caps and gowns, banquets, plays, operettas, and most of all of a piece of white paper rolled up and tied with maroon and gold ribbon. I really do feel so sorry for her, she seems to be such a sweet little creature. Doc.—I should suggest a good strong “work tonic and a substantial “study” application. Nurse—All right. Doc. I’ll do my best for her. Doc.—First: In the morning for about forty minutes feed her some hard Podd Geometry. Follow this with twenty minutes of Doughty’s violent Knglish exercises, after which administer Doughty’s twenty-minute dose of soporific lecture. This will have a very soothing effect on her, as all “Dr. Doughty’s” remedies do. Nurse—After this she’s not due to “know what it’s all about,” and may 1 suggest a little rest of about ten minutes, as too much work is very likely to break down her constitution? Doc.—Yes. By all means do not forget the “rest.” it is most essential. Follow this with forty minutes of “Bartley’s French,” this will calm her nerves and brighten her spirits. Just before lunch give her a forty-minute ride through Doughty’s Latin Department. Administer Cicero freely but gently, ___Helen Goffigon Elizabeth Hogvvood 43 T II E — A li II () Jf for this is a very good but strenuous remedy. Of the many who enter this department, comparatively few withstand the mental strain. Be careful, do not let her ride a “Pony,” for this does more harm than good. Nurse—Very well. I'll attend to the case at once. Enter Nurse (with a smile). Doc.—What is the good news ? Nurse—The patient seems to be much quieter. Iler temperature has fallen and I think when a few nerve remedies are tried she will be on the road to recovery. Doc.—Then suppose you give her a little of “Bartley’s Chemistry.” This is a very good tonic. Continue this for eighty minutes then allow the patient a ten-minute relaxation. After you have done this, call in Nurse Fray and let him treat her with his latest electrical devise for nervousness, “Socialum Probulum. Be very careful and do not let the patient laugh or chew gum during this time as said nurse feels that all such foolishness counteracts the effect of his elaborate deliberation. Nurse—Very well. I can tell there will be a big change for the better. Good-bye, Doc. I'll report to you later. (Exit.) Enter Nurse (One hour later.) Nurse—Good news for you! Doc.—Then let me hear it. Nurse—The patient is well on the road to recovery. The remedies that you prescribed seemed to relieve her almost immediately and there's no doubt in my mind that by June 6th she will be sufficiently recovered to meet the strain of Commencement week, and to be dismissed from the sheltering arms of C. C. H. S. Hospital to meet the ups and downs of this cold, cruel world. 44 T II E — A II II () W The Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 1923, of the Cape Charles High School, of the town of Cape Charles, and the State of Virginia, being of sound mind and generous disposition, do hereby make public, and declare this our last will and testa- ment in the manner following: We do hereby will and bequeath-------- Article I.

We entered High School with thirty-eight members and about as green as Frogs could be, but very determined to catch the drift of the current and to make people sit up and watch us splash in our pond. Herbert Stevenson was chosen President of the class, with Marv Coulbourn, Vice-President: Minnie Disharoon, Treasurer; and Helen Grimmer, Secretary. The selection of motto, “Carry On. colors, Purple and Gold, and flower, the Rose, com- pleted our organization. Our class was so large it was necessary to divide it into two sections and we hated that, because one section always wanted to know what the other section was doing. It sure seemed as though every one could do as they pleased, but us. We were socially inclined and had several very pleasant parties that year, though we were not allowed to give the Seniors a banquet. 'I'lie following year we entered school, no longer Frogs hut mighty and proud Sophomores. To our regret we had lost many of our members, but still we were undaunted. Again we elected Herbert Stevenson, President: Earl Marshall, Vice-President: Helen Grimmer, Secretary; and Mary Coul- bourn, Treasurer. Our class was well represented in athletics, several boys making all athletic teams, while the girls also were successful in the field. With cruel Dame “Experience as our teacher we learned a few good lessons, but tliis year closed and still the Faculty did not think we were quite big enough to enter the social field by entertaining the Seniors and be really truly stylish and grown up. And so the ise Fools or Sophs passed another milestone, hope- fully looking forward to our Junior year and a few privileges. We came back to school and elected Herbert Stevenson, President; Earl Marshall. Vice-President: Minnie Disharoon, Treasurer: and Marv Coulbourn. Secretary. Again the boys starred in athletics. We were represented on all four athletic teams. We entered the social field with much enthusiasm and enjoyed ourselves immensely at the party we gave the Seniors. We presented most successfully “Professor Pep]). thereby showing the Seniors that they were not the only ones who could present a play with success. K. B„ ’24.

It was at tlie beginning of 1921-22 session that we first catne into High School. And oh! but didn’t we feel funny? It was not long, though, before we became accus- tomed to the new life and proud—well, a peacock couldn't have been more so. At our first class meeting, held not long after the beginning of school, the following were elected as officers: Tucker Wilkins, President: Adeline Milligan, Vice-President; Paul Adkins, Secretary ; and Ethel May Parsons, Treasurer. Our social functions during the year were very few, but we did have a most wonderful time” at two class parties, one given at the home of Walter Pdake and the other at Tucker Wilkin's. We were well represented in football, baseball, and girls' basket-ball, several members starring. At the end of the session, although over joyed at being promoted, it did give us a queer feeling, that when school opened again we would be Sophomores and not Frogs. Strange to relate, it seemed very natural when we came back at the be- ginning of 1922-23 as Sophs. Everybody was ready for hard work. Not long after school began, a class meeting was held. William Melvin was elected President: Ethel May Parsons, Secretary; Louise Dix, Treasurer: and Adeline Milligan, reelected as Vice-President. We are again well represented in all athletics and although we have had no social functions, as yet, we are looking forward to a party towards the end of school. Here's hoping that our future will be as bright and prosperous as our past has been. A.

Such names as “Rats, “Frogs, and “Freshies, bestowed upon us by Sophs,’ “Juniors. and dignified “Seniors,” did not bother us in tbe least, and they soon found out tbe stuff we were composed of. Al- though having been just recently transferred from Tadpole stage we are doing fine work on tbe athletic field, where we are well represented in baseball, basket- ball, and football. Soon after school began we found it necessary to elect our officers. We elected Ken non Horner, President: Harry Russell, Vice-President: Georgie Wilson, Treasurer: and Emily Milligan, Secretary. At last, after wise thought we obtained our motto, “What we do let us do well,” our colors, Green and Grey, and our flower, tbe Lily of tbe Valiev. We have bad one social func- tion. a Hallowe’en party at tbe home of Alice Bristow, which every one en- joyed to tbe utmost. Although we have bad many difficulties we are keeping a pace that is bard to beat, and we feel that we are on tbe great road to success.

This council although organized did not begin its active work until September, 1922, when a constitution drawn up by the former council under the direction of Mr. Fray was adopted by the student body. The council is composed of four members of the student body, two of whom are elected at mid-term, the other two at the beginning of the session. Since this was the first executive year of the council the President, Secretary, and Treasurer were elected at the opening of school. Immediately the body began work in earnest and lias been working faithfully in the interest of the ath- letics in high school. The influence of this council has been felt by the entire student body and we feel certain that much of the material advancement of athletics is due to this efficient board. We fear that this organization has not yet been recog- nized by tbe public but hope that this introduction to it will arouse their interest and help them to become acquainted with its endeavors. Possibly the most significant step in athletics is our entrance into the State League. We can but feel a seVise of satisfaction when we realize that Cape Charles is the only High School on Eastern Shore which has thus broad- ened its scope of athletics. As a result of this new policy Cape Charles is suc- cessfully competing in the four major sports with other schools of her stand- ing and it is inevitable that she will be able to better this record as the infant sports become more matured. A fair illustration of this point is tbe remark- able interest shown in football: this sport only two years old has brought out more candidates for the team, in proportion to its student body, than any other school in the State. And we believe by another season basket-ball will present a similar example. We might pause at this moment and state that the need of a gymnasium is more noticable than ever before. It is only just to say it is greatly retarding tbe advancement of athletics in the High School. In baseball Cape Charles can more than hold its own with other schools in its class; in fact, we hope to be able some day to achieve State honors in this field of sport. The new interest shown in track assures us that on the cinder path you will not find the Gold and Maroons lacking. f)0 rn--TII E — A K II () W- Basket-Ball After an interval of two years this sport has been again taken up, but the adverse conditions under which the team lias had to play have greatly re- tarded its progress. With possibly the best material which ever represented the Gold and Maroon on the floor, supporters have had to accept humiliating defeats, due primarily to lack of training on an indoor court. Only those games which were on the league schedule have been played; with the excep- tion of the first game of the season, which was an exhibition game with New- port News High. In this first game of the season the team showered them- selves with glory, and a bright outlook was anticipated by all. hut on the 1st of February the only available place to practice was denied us and the squad has had to suffer the consequences. The first league game was with South Norfolk, and lack of training spelled defeat, but the game was clean and close, tlie final score being 36 to 30. The next game was in Suffolk, where the poorest brand of hall on the one hand and a display of flash and accuracy on the other was exhibited, the total count being 42 to 15. The Annual goes to press before the season expires, and we will make no predictions as to the outcome of the remaining games. We are hoping that by another season the school will be able to provide a suitable place for this popular branch of ath- letics. 65 T II E — A Ii ROW Baseball This sport needs no introduction to the readers of the Arrow, nor does the high plane which has been attained by the teams of the past need any mention, for Cape Charles lias always been able to hold their own on the dia- mond. Last season the county championship was again won by the home boys, and we are expecting even greater things from the Club this spring in the State series. From last season's monogram men we still have Disharoon, Parker. Thompson, Neighbors, Mills, and Marshall, also with Grimmer and Robertson and a number of last year scrubs to pick from. So with six vet- erans and a supply of promising new material, a team should be moulded to- gether which will bestow honor and credit upon its school. The strong bat- tery. which added pomp and power to last season's victories, still remain in- tact. and the infield suffers the loss of only one man—Milligan, at first base. 66 T II E — A IIII () W Track Few hi ii schools with an enrollment as small as ours can boast of so many different kinds of sports to attract the attention of those students who are interested in some phase of athletic work. The schools of the county, last session, set aside the 19th of May for a track meet between all of the accredited schools. Only a few candidates re- ported for work in this new field, but strenuous work on their part saved us from humiliation. Franktown won first place, with 68 points to her credit, while Cape Charles came second with a total of 56 points. But this meet so inspired those who did participate that a general enthusiasm has spread throughout the school, and as soon as the weather permits, practice will begin. Manager Charnock expects to lead a team, which will be satisfied with nothing less than first honors. Neighbors will again be on the path with his speed and endurance, and Robertson, Grimmer, Mapp, and others will also prove their worth in this infant sport. 67 f f La i [ fV v f rvi - SC7 I PSo CHER!TOM MS: fi ft B s SCRUBS-'1 CHER!
