We are very proud of Bill and could not part with him as he has proved himself a true and loyal member of this class. He has been our fatherly President for the past three years, and has performed his duty faithfully. Never angry, ever ready to give help where needed, he is our sincere friend. In his effort to excel, he frequently steals his night from sleep and then takes the advantage of Miss Jones small eyes by dozing off in her classes. Bill has two great ambitions ; the tirst is to succeed in all his undertakings and the other, is to become a better debater than Jack, Every member of this class hereby congratulates you in your great success in C. C H. S. and wishes you good luck and good will in your future work 13 THE ARROW HERBERT STEVENSON steve “In doing what we ought, we deserve no praise, because it 2 $ our duty ' [director of Orchestra, 1924-25, Librarian of Orchestra, 1923-24.

This musical prodigy honored the 19th of January and the year 1907 by being horn at that time. He has always evi¬ denced a musical and amorous nature. Throughout his grade career he lived up to the maxim that “there is safety in numbers and all the girls had hopes then. But when he grew to “Man ' s Es¬ tate 5 ’ and entered High School he found that the key to successful work is con¬ centration. He used this new-found knowledge so successfully that only one girl has hopes any more. While books have sometimes been a secondary con¬ sideration with Herb, we all recognize the fact that the interest of his school has always come first in his mind. The members of the Senior Class of 25 heartily unite in wishing you, Herbert, even more success in your later life than you have attained in your school days, 14 THE ARROW ADELINE GRAHAM MILLIGAN “hick iir fo know her is to lore, and to name her is to praise Vice-President of Class, 1921-22-23.

Adeline has been a faithful member of ’25, since the days when Miss Scott taught us. All through her school career Mick has been, not only a willing worker, but a competent one. She can do anything from playing a piano to driving a Willys-Knight, a more versa¬ tile girl could not he found anywhere. Aside from her many talents she has a wonderful disposition. Sympathy- patience—understanding,—all charcterize onr Mick. However under this cover of docility there lurks a spirit of mis¬ chief, and if there is any fun in the air, Adeline is sure to be there with bells on. It is the wish of your class, Ade¬ line, that your future will be as pros¬ perous as your past. 15 THE ARROW SIDNEY WALLACE DRENNEN “ ' pat U A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men ' Member of Orchestra, 1921-22-23-24 - 25, Member of Literary Societv, 1923-24- 25 M e mb e r o f Tr a ck T ea m f 1 922-23-24-2 5 Member of Baseball Team, 1923-24-25.

The most danger¬ ous thing about “Pat” is his tongue which gets him and others into very tight places. He has that gift of Irish humor by which he has changed many severe times into joyous ones at the ex¬ pense of the teachers composure. He also holds the honors of being an artist, a musician, and an athlete. He is a letter-man in both football and baseball. Our class comedian will probably be a bandmaster or we may soon see him in some comic section of a newspaper; but whatever may be his future work, our best wishes go with him. 16 THE ARROW JOHN W.

If he isn’t debating with one of the students over the current events then be is debating with himself, whether or not he should study his assignment in Caesar. )f Jack is a capital fellow, tak¬ ing part in all school activities and ever ready to give help to the students in everything, except Geometry, He is an all-round man. In dramatics, he has starred, playing the parts of the ardent lover, the fatherly father, and the grouchy bachelor with equal ease and finish. To our true friend. Jack, we ex¬ tend best wishes and hope that he may rise high in his chosen profession. Jack, we’ll all try to repress our ailments until you get your sheepskin and pass the state board. 17 THE ARROW MARY LOUISE DIX weese” “Here is a maiden, good without pre¬ tense Blest with rare reason, and with sober sense Treasurer of Class, 1922-23, Member of Glee Chib, 1922-23-24-25.

Everyone who knows Louise knows her readiness to take part in all school affairs. She has been a faithful student and friend, from the day she entered the first grade. She is one of the original seven, who started school together. “Weese M is just what she seems—a con¬ scientious and lovable girl, who is a pal to every one, and if you are privileged to be within her circle of friends, you are lucky indeed. Louise is one who can read French as if she had lived in France, and scan Latin like a finished poet. She has developed recently some art in platform work and always has something to say when she‘s called on in The Raven Soeietv,” Quiet in appear¬ ance, modest in manner, Louise is a liv¬ ing exponent of the much quoted pro¬ verb, Still waters run deep ' Here ' s hoping that you will be as successful in teaching as you have been in being taught 13 THE ARROW LOUIS OTTO GETZELL “luke” “Speech is gr eat, but silence greater ' 1 Member of Football Team, 1922-23-24.

H, S. five years ago with a bash fulness that has never worn off; he has even succeeded in ending bis H. S. career with having had but one date to his credit. He has worked on a lot of things harder than books, especially on athletics. Believ¬ ing that bis past record would overcome ali obstacles to a diploma, he worried not about his studies, spending his time in trying to master the “English on the cue ball. However, Luke” has in bis final term settled down to work and the poolroom knows him no more. He has carried away letters in both baseball and football, in which sports he starred. Though he does not have a guess as to what the coming years may do for him, we wish him all success in bis future undertakings. 19 THE ARROW CHARLES POWELL “ching” Little J ask; my wants arc few 1 Member of Baseball Team. 1924-25= Assistant Joke Editor of Arrow, 1925, Ching came to C C H S. in his Jun¬ ior year, having received his earlier ed¬ ucation in Del mar. Though he has be¬ come accustomed to our system and is now one of us, there must be a lodes tone in Delmar which attracts him there over week-ends; we wonder (who) what it is? Well, at last, Ching likes Virginia best and doesn ' t intend to go to Dela¬ ware any more. Charlie is fast becom¬ ing a debater, due to Ins constant argu¬ ments with Bill over Latin marks and remarks. As Ching seems very lazy around school, it takes a hot “grounder ’ over short to prove to us that lie can move about pretty fast. He received letters in baseball and, although a good runner, he does not wish to expose to the e}res of the public his picturesque form in a track suit Ching has always done well in his studies and we hope that he will do as well in his future work 20 THE ARROW BESSIE KELLAM TOWNSEND “BESS’ (t Of all the girls that are so smart.

Bess 1 came into our midst from an¬ other class. At first we hardly realized her value to the class, but now we know that it is impossible to do without her. Her manner and natural sweetness of disposition have won a place in our hearts. She has already proved herself a fine sport and holds a very popular place in the social set. Speaking of dancing, the ' light fantastic’ is her hob¬ by. She never shirks, no matter what she ' s asked to do, she’ll try to find some way to do it or to help, Bess has said nothing definite about her vocation, but we bid her an re voir, wishing that her success in the future may equal her suc¬ cess in High School. 21 THE ARROW EDMUND LUTHER NEIGHBORS ed” ft Come, itow, smile for the ladies Member of Literary Society, 1923-24- 25.

Loki, all got mixed in one spirit on May 5, 1907, and the result was Ed Neighbors ability—yes, to Win a race, to master a lesson, to win a girl ' s heart, but the first two of these lose out if a bright piece of calico appears over the horizon. In bis Senior year Ed had an inspiration that he could play a trumpet; this gift added to his musical voice and mental ability and his new resolution to work, along with bis winning ways, have given us a new “Ed.” At a Track Meet, it is al¬ ways advisable for Ed to say “Good-bye” to his competitors, since they stand little chance of ever being within speaking distance of the fleet-footed gentleman again. Ed, however, has one herculean task—he finds it next to impossible to convince “Miss Sara” that he knows enough Gesar to drop that class. So here ' s wishing you all success, Ed, in your future work. 22 THE ARROW F, TUCKER WILKINS, Jr. “tuck” “You may trust him in the dark. ' ' President of the Class, 1921 -22.

Oh! you have guessed it—the noblest work of nature. But don ' t be alarmed, it is only our dear old Paul. Paul, the one who has been with us all through our school career, who has shared our joys and sorrows. He has always been a good friend to us all, helping us in many trials, Paul has succeeded in athletics, being a member of the Track Team for four years, and a member of Football Squad. To Paul, the Class of ' 25 wishes great success in whatever he may undertake. 24 THE ARROW LAWRENCE LITTLE PUSEY, Jit. “pusey” ff One who would never turn his back, but march breast forward Member of Literary Society; 1924-25.

Since that time he has proved himself such a valuable addition in our class that we do not know how we ever “carried on” without him. Pusey has established himself as a willing worker, a good sport and a true friend. He not only has this repu¬ tation with the students but he seems to have the happy art of swaying the teach¬ ers to his will.

We’ve worked along together To climb the heights of fame, And leave for those who follow The record of a name. For some short years we’ve struggled Through lessons hard and long. Sometimes with tears of sorrow. Sometimes with joy and song. With faces to the future. Resolved our best to do; We’ve reached the Graduation With hearts both strong and true. And may we all remember As on our way we go. We’re laying the foundation For the future weal or woe. We’ve heeded our earnest teachers As kindly they advised. And by their help and guidance May we each seek to rise. And in the years before us. On life’s great battlefield. May all be valiant soldiers. Nor ever faint nor yield.

And threatened oft to go astray; But calm days came and the sea was still, And the ship sailed on with a drive, And it entered that port, the port of Success, With the Seniors of Twenty-live. CHAPTER I Trying Their Wings N nineteen hundred and twenty-one, twenty-four boys and girls walked into the Freshman class. They were timid and shy, and were constantly called names by the Sophs, such as “Rats “Frogs ' and “Frosh.” First, we organized our class and elected the following officers: Tucker Wilkins, president; Adeline Milligan, vice-president; Paul Adldns, secretary, and Ethel Mae Parsons, treasurer. We were well represented in all branches of athletics. The parties we had while in the Freshman class will long be remember as our “first parties.” CHAPTER II Modesty and Docility I he next year, as gay “Sophs ' we elected the following officers: William Melvin, president; Adeline Milligan, vice-president; Ethel Mae Parsons, sec¬ retary, and Louise Dix, treasurer. We were again well represented in athletics and again we had a delightful party at the end of the year. 30 THE ARROW CHAPTER III Breaking Into Society After a long summer vacation, we were back to start the life of Juniors. We elected the following officers; William Melvin, president; Tucker Wilkins, vice-president; Adeline Milligan, secretary, and Ethel Mae Parsons, treasurer. In October we gave the Seniors a delightful party at the home of Ethel Mae Parsons, In February, the Seniors gave us a Leap Year” Valentine party, and we tried to act finished and sophisticated. We hope we succeeded, any¬ way, we thoroughly enjoyed the event. On February 22nd, we ventured another rung on the social ladder—dramatics,—then we were grown up for sure—“Gappy Ricks” was the play. It was a financial and dramatic success and we were hopeful for our next tryout on the platform. We were well represented in track and baseball, having six members on the former and seven on the latter. In June, we gave our first banquet to the Seniors and faculty. This event closed our Junior year. CHAPTER IV Seniors At last we come to our highest ambition, “dignified Seniors.” This year we elected these officers: William Melvin, president; Herbert Stevenson, vice- president; Adeline Milligan, secretary, and Ethel Mae Parsons, treasurer. Thanksgiving the Juniors gave us a party at the Northampton Club. In January we gave our play, “The Man on the Box,” which was a huge success. We are planning a party for the Juniors in the near future. We are well represented in athletics, for we have ten members on the football team, six and seven on the track and baseball, respectively. At present we are hard at work on the annual and chasing our “diplomas.” Several members lost track of theirs and had to run back, some transferred to other schools, others hurried into the big school of life. We regret the loss of these companions but we wish for them “Success.” We are looking forward to Commencement, and last, but not least, to the banquet the Juniors are going to give us in June. 31 THE ARROW As 1 close this history, the Senior class hopes that the lives of others in C.

S is for seriousness; that has been forced upon us. 32 THE ARROW A Wonderful Find S a visiting friend and I were walking clown the street in Washington one day, we were discussing the many inventions of the age. Probably this subject was brought to our minds by seeing the magnificent architecture of homes and stores, or by watching automobiles dashing swiftly - by on their many errands. “But,” l asked, “Which do you think is the greatest invention ?” Her reply was “aircraft” 1 disagreed with my friend but did not enter into any discussion, because at this moment we were startled by seeing a large crowd of people standing in front of a store. At first we could not imagine what was the attraction then we heard the soft strains of music which, it seemed to us, came from the sky, “There! the radio!” I said, “That is the greatest of all ' Eager and excited we stood and listened until the station announced that we were hearing a classical overture from Cuba and then signed off. So interested were we that we decided to go in the radio room and see the different models. As we entered the demonstration parlor an alert salesman came forward and greeted us with, “Have you seen our very newest model, The New Perfection Radiola? Just this way, please ’ We followed the dapper little clerk into a cozy drawing-room. Two comfortable chairs, a divan, a table on which were some books and a reading lamp, and a few pictures on the wall made up the furniture of the room— but where was the Radiola? “Please be seated,” said our guide, “and 1 will tune in ' We seated ourselves in the comfortable, roomy chairs and waited for the salesman to bring in the Radiola. Turning to the table he opened a large volume of Shakespeare ' s works and said, This machine has a most unusual record. It has never been subject to static or to any local interference, has no attached wires either ground or aerial, and has picked up stations between Pekin and Rome. The tuning and control dials are operated by a keyboard similar to that of a typewriter ' “But where is the machine ?” I asked, “Right here,” was the reply, “between the lids of this book. All you have to do is open your book, press a button and Presto!—there you are. Listen.” 33 THE ARROW Were we dreaming or was it real ? Suddenly the room was filled with the familiar strains of Handel ' s ‘‘Messiah 1 hen as the music died away the announcer ' s voice rang out clear and strong. “This is station ICU, Tokio, Japan. The number you have just heard was a violin solo by Dr. Herbert Stevenson, missionary in charge of Christian Education in Japan. Mrs Stevenson was at the piano. This concludes our program for the afternoon. Dr. Stevenson will give a talk on ‘Mission Work in the East ' to-night at nine o ' clock. He and Mrs. Stevenson will render several musical selections after the lecture. ICU signing off ' So surprised and happy was I to hear of my old classmate’s great fame that 1 quickly told the salesman that 1 was well convinced of the perfection of the machine and that he might have one installed in my apartment im¬ mediately. “There is no installing to he done ' was his reply, “The machine will be at your home by the time you are there ’ After hearing this we hurried home and, as soon as dinner was over, we seated ourselves in front of the living-room table on which the radio had been placed. “Push one of the buttons! ' ' said my chum, who was very much excited over the new purchase. Right at this minute we were listening to a beautiful solo. Then followed the announcement from station WMR, London, England, Now came a sur¬ prise even greater than the one of the afternoon; we had been listening to Miss Ethel Mae Parsons, the youngest of all the Metropolitan Opera stars, who had recently won great fame both in America and abroad. Overjoyed at hearing this and wondering what could possibly he the next thrill, I pushed another button. “This is station YZA, New York ' came the announcer’s voice, “The next number on our program will be a lecture entitled, ‘My Work as Literary Editor of The Atlantic Monthly by Mr Paul Adkins 3 I sat spellbound—could 1 imagine! My old chum Paul as editor of that magazine. Truly strange things happen in this old world. Curiosity, how¬ ever, got the better of my interest in the lecture and, after enjoying the full tones of that familiar voice for awhile,—wondering what the next thrill might be, and hoping to bring back some more memories of my classmates, I pressed button No. 5. Eagerly I waited and heard station CWA, California, announcing the latest publications of the Lei and University Press. “Professor William Melvin, formerly of Virginia but now of California, has just finished his latest book on Astronomy. In the future this book will 34 THE ARROW be used in all of the leading colleges of the State. Mr. Charles Powell, the famous instructor of modern languages, has recently written a book entitled, ' French Daily Life which has been accepted as a textbook in all the colleges of the Pacific States. CWA signing off.” By this time I had decided if pressing those buttons would give such wonderful news that I would keep on until I had pressed them all This time another station came in with the strong voice. “This is station WAU, Washington, D. CT “Oh!” I exclaimed, “We are getting news from our own city,” “Of great interest to our society world of Washington,” continued the voice, “will be the announcement of the engagement of Miss Adeline Milligan, the famous pianist, to Mr. Lawrence Pusey, one of the greatest contractors of this country. WALT signing off.” B. T., 5 25. 35 THE ARROW Edmund’s Complaint Miss Sara is my teacher, I shall not pass She maketh me to read hard sentences, And exposeth my ignorance before the whole class. She res to re th my sorrow; She causeth me to read Latin for my grade’s sake. Yea, though I study until midnight, I shall gain no knowledge, For Caesar sorely troubles me, His wars and battles They distress me.

C. H. S. If there was one thoroughbred horse for every Ford automobile in Cape Charles and Northampton County, it would take the California alfalfa crop to feed the animals. If there had been any “Cape Charles Flappers” living in the Transvaal, the Boer army need never have surrendered for lack of powder. 1 hat suffragette mai tyr-march from New Tork to Washington may be all right, but given her choice between a pilgrimage on pumps and a two- hundred-mile joy ride on the upholstery of a throbbing Pierce-Arrow, the average woman will never vote. It takes a pretty good man to win an attractive wife, but it takes a deter¬ mined old maid to win any kind of a man. Ethics may be called the defining of indefinite issues, by an abstracted professor, to a class of solid concretes. Anglo-Saxon is a peculiar noise similar to that produced by an amateur player on the trombone. I he only way to make some students rise in time to be at school at nine o’clock would he to feed them on yeast. Which does a student increase by studying Latin, his classical or his pro¬ fane vocabulary? A liteiai y society (especially T lie Raven) without an argument, is like a vertebrate without a spinal column.

In September, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, twenty-five most jubilant youngsters entered the long looked- for door to Cape Charles High School, of course feeling very “uppish ' but not for long. Soon the Sophs, Juniors and Seniors began calling us “Rats ' “Frogs ' and other insult¬ ing names. We stood it and came out on the top. In every¬ thing? Yes, even in football, baseball, track and girls ' basket-ball, we had representatives. In the Orchestra we had members, but could claim no privi¬ leges in Glee Club, since “Rats were barred from membership in this delight¬ ful organization. In our first class meeting we elected Kennon Horner, Pres¬ ident: Harry Russell, Vice-President; Emily Milligan, Secretary: and Georgie Wilson, Treasurer. We selected as our motto, “What we do, let us do well ' our colors, Green and Grey, and our flower, the Lily of the Valley. We gave a Hallowe ' en party at the home of Alice Bristow, our first social function, and one which we will never forget. The following session, 1923-24, we came together once more, a little disappointed at having lost a few of our members. But we clung together, twenty strong, reorganized our class, electing the following officers: David Horner, President; Georgie Wilson, Vice-President; Emily Milligan, Secre¬ tary; and Shirley Chandler, Treasurer. Again we had a very delightful Hal¬ lowe ' en party at the home of Shirley Chandler. In athletics we “held our own, being represented in all sports. We also had members in the Orchestra and in the Glee Club. And now we come to the Junior Year, our best so far, full of work and pleasures, too. This year we had the mishap to lose one more member, leaving us nineteen. We elected as officers: David Horner, President; Georgie Wil¬ son, Vice-President; Emily Milligan, Secretary; and Shirley Chandler, Treas¬ urer—the same officers who had served so faithfully and efficiently the preced¬ ing year. We opened our social programme by giving the “dignified Seniors an elaborate party at the Club, just before Christmas. Again we are repre¬ sented in all athletics. We have many members in the Orchestra and Glee Club, and are now “old enough to lie members of the long-desired Literary Society. Every one is looking forward to our first play to be given in the spring, and we hope to make it as much a success as the preceding classes have made their dramatic attempts. We are also looking forward to June, when we give our first banquet to the Seniors and Faculty, hoping to make it the best ever given. And for next year we, the Seniors of 7 26, are still hoping that in all phases of school work, we may “out-do the Seniors of ' 25. E, M,, ’26. 45 THE ARROW Sophomore Class Colors: Black and Gold.

On September 18, 1924, we en¬ tered the Sophomore Class and, though we had passed our first milestone and had entered upon the second lap of the race, in our ambition we realized fully our position in the estimation of the Upper Classmen, and so without pro¬ crastination set to work; and there you have it, the Freshman of 24 making his way. We immediately elected Class officers: President, Edwina Coul¬ burn; Vice-President, Willie Travis; Secretary, Joe Bill Coulburn; and Treasurer, Virginia Marchington. Our first social affair was a festive Hal¬ lowe’en party at the home of Virginia High. We are represented in the Glee Club and have five members in the Or¬ chestra. In our athletic work, Clarence Halev is the only representative on the gridiron and diamond, and he together with Joe Bill Coulburn are our only Track men. Now that we have begun the second semester, we realize we are still being called to achievement, for our motto ever beckons us onward and upward to our goal—Graduation, 47 THE ARROW Freshman Class Colors : Blue and Go Id, Flower : Sweetheart Rose.

The Sophs initiated us. The girls wore their dresses backwards, mismatched stockings, aprons, red ribbons on their hair, no powder, and rouge on their noses. You could not tel) in what direction they were traveling. Two of our classmates left at the Christmas holidays and are going to school at Onancock, Our Class was well represented in athletics. Soon after the opening of school we elected our officers. We elected Redwood Nottingham, President; Julia Wilkins, Vice-President; Elizabeth Wilson, Secretary and Treasurer. After much discussion we chose our motto, “Be Square, our colors, I fine and Gold, and our class flower, “Sweetheart Rose.” We had one party, a Hallow¬ e’en party at the home of Virginia Hailett.

I he final result of this meeting was the “Raven Literary Society. The society has helped a great deal by training its members in the use of Parliamentary laws, and by the interesting debates and short talks by the various members. A social event which was both a surprise and a good time for all dosed the first year of the “Raven Society.” All felt that this year was a decided success. Every society must fight in the first to exist, so the Juniors of last year, the Seniors of this year, were determined to keep the Society progressing. With the help of the incoming Juniors, the Society started with a spurt. The organization was divided into groups, then a schedule was made, and each group entertained in turn, according to the schedule. The programs have consisted mainly of debates. Some have been on affairs of the Government, while others have been amusing ones, such as, Is the Tomato more ornamental than the Potato?” We had one social before Christmas; Santa Clans was there, and he had a treat for each member present. We are planning for a banquet in May, and are hoping that it will last long in our memories. As this article goes to press, here ' s our toast to you.

For surely an organization which has been as helpful and instructive as our Glee Club has been for the past two years, can not die out. Last year under the efficient leadership of Miss Jones and Mrs. J. W. Coleburn, the Glee Club put on one of the most brilliant entertainments yet given in onr School. The ' Minstrel was not only a success musically but financially as well. Now we come to this year’s work. At the beginning of the school session, we reorganized, with Miss Jones and Mr. W. E. Spicer as leaders. We are working under a new system which has, so far, proved successful. We have one period a week, in which our melodious voices are cultivated or “ploughed,” as the case may be. We are graded and at the end of the year will receive a credit point for our feeble efforts. Thus far this year the Glee Club has taken no active public part, but plans are under way for some sort of musical to be given some time during the month of May. 55 THE ARROW The Orchestra OFFICERS ADELINE MILLIGAN .....

We are quite sure that out of this class there will materialize some future “C. P. A.,” or presidents of batiks; anyhow we can rest assured that whatever position in the business world we may accept, we will do our best and will be “business-like, too ' If you do not think we are business-like, just ask us to do some typing or to keep books for some large firm. 58 THE ARROW Beginning of Public Education in Virginia HE happiness of society is in proportion to the education of its masses. In a composite people such as America lias, ig¬ norance and education could not operate harmoniously in building a social unit. Our American forefathers recognized this principle early in their work of colonization and set about the formation and execution of plans for education in the New World. The roots of Virginia ' s early educational institutions are to be found largely in England, whence came the early settlers of America. Many laws concerning education were adapted from the educational system oi our mother country, and were used until the changing conditions in the new coun¬ try demanded a modified educational plan. That we may better understand the actual influences on early education in Virginia let us make a brief summary of educational activities in England at the time Virginia was being settled. The history of education in England is closely connected with the history of the church of that country. Ihere was no general legislation regarding education during the early centuries of Eng¬ lish national life. It is an interesting fact that the English nation was the last among the great nations of Europe to develop a national system of education. America preceded England by a half century or more in developing an effec¬ tive system of education. The dissolution of the monastaries by Henry VIII in 1539 transferred to the king about one thousand religious institutions. Among other organized activities connected with these institutions was the care of the poor in Eng¬ land, which consisted of about one-sixth of the total population. I he rents from vast tracts of land owned by the religious organizations furnished the means with which to care for the material wants and to give training to the poor of the realm. A series of acts in the reign of Edward III formed the basis for the apprenticing of all the unemployed in the realm. The one main object of the grammar schools at this time was the teaching of the Latin lan¬ guage. The civic, the ecclesiastical, and the social demand for this language made it a most practical aim in education. In the latter part of the sixteenth century, the church in England developed two distinct types of schools: (1) the Latin grammar schools (secondary schools), and ( 2 ) the chantry and charity schools (elementary schools). With the foregoing facts in mind, one is able to understand better the influence on early educational activities in Virginia. The first party landing 59 THE ARROW on Virginia soil at Jamestown in 1607 consisted of one hundred persons, fifty- five of whom were gentlemen, the others were workmen and bond servants. I hey brought with them to the wilderness in Virginia the traditions, customs, and ideals of Englishmen in the mother country. They engaged in the culti¬ vation of corn and tobacco, ! he large profits realized from the tobacco in¬ dustry stimulated the interest in the importation of slaves and indentured ser¬ vants. Even the skilled workmen and merchants who came to carry on trade and mercantile business were encouraged to give up their lines of work and engage in raising tobacco, 1 hen there developed the plantation system by which large acreages were owned and operated by a single planter, who, in this way, grew economically, socially, and politically powerful, and not only managed his large estate with hundreds of workmen, but held in his control the affairs of the colonial government. Until about 1619, there were no children in Virginia; therefore, there was no reason for the Virginia settlers to be concerned about education. The early educational interest among the people of Virginia concerned itself with or¬ phan children that were sent over from the hospitals and asylums in England. At this time the English colonies in the different parts of the world furnished a refuge for a great number of such children and from England, Virginia i eceived her quota of these orphans. In 1619 a provision was made for one hundred children to be sent to the Virginia colony. At once there came a de¬ mand foi some means to educate these children. So, Virginia began by trans¬ planting the English institutions in America. This was a very natural thing to do because of the distinctive type of English settler. In 1643 there was passed an “Apprenticeship Law. This law provided that these children he bi ought up in the Christian religion and in the rudiments of learning accord¬ ing to their estates ’ In 1705 other laws were passed, and provided that masters shall be compelled to teach orphans to read and write. Out of these early legislative efforts developed among the Virginia colonists various types of schools providing for the education of the children in the elementary school branches: (1) the grammar school, which gave instructions in the elementary subjects of “reading, writing, and ciphering ; (2) an endowed free school, whose primary purpose was to give training in the elementary forms of learn- ing : (3) a community school, later known as a private school where the heads of various families living in the same neighborhood combined in the employ¬ ment of a teacher for their children; (4) the tutorial system, a method the rich planter used to provide instruction for his children. Governor Berkeley’s famous words in 1671, “I thank God that there are no free schools in Virginia, are not to be taken as having very much founda¬ tion in fact, since when he made this statement, lie was within a few days from tiie Symms and Eaton Schools in Elizabeth City County, which were in a 60 THE ARROW flourishing condition. These schools, at that time, were among the ' first free schools’ in America. Eleven years before Governor Berkeley made this radi¬ cal statement he had shown extraordinary activity in efforts to secure a school in the colony which should partake of the joint character of a college and a free school He really had subscribed an amount of money to this enterprise. It is quite certain then that there were a number of free schools in Virginia at the time the famous Governor sent this report to England. The first plan for a free school in Virginia was designed for the educa¬ tion of the Indian youth. This was in 1619-20 while the London Company still had hold of the colony. Some one who did not reveal his name gave the sum of $14,000, to be used “in instructing a convenient number of Indian youth in the art of reading and in the principles of the Christian religion. if you notice the date (1619-20) it will settle the oft disputed question, what State established the first free school in America? Some seem to think it was Massachusetts, but it was not; it was our own State, “Virginia.” The great Indian massacre of 1622 seems to have brought to an untimely end the laud¬ able scheme of education for the Indian youth. The second attempt (1622) to establish a free school was intended for the white children of the colony. This was known as ' ‘The East Indian School 1 ’ In 1643 Benjamin Symms donated a sum of money to build and maintain a free school in Virginia. The money for the upkeep of this enter¬ prise was obtained from the sale of milk from a herd of cows belonging to the school. There soon followed another example of the Symms gift. Dr. Thomas Eaton gave a sum for the erection and maintenance of a free school in Elizabeth City County. During the entire time the London Company had control in irginia, it concerned itself at various times with the establishment of a college, l he first steps toward this enterprise was the sending of a letter by James I to all parts of his kingdom soliciting contributions for the establishment of a college in Virginia, In 1619 it was announced that $35,000 had been received for this purpose. The Indian Plot of 1622 brought all of this good work to an end. But the leaders refused to be discouraged in their attempt to found an institu¬ tion for higher education. Again in 1624 another attempt was made to estab¬ lish a college in the new world, but soon this project failed, hurther efforts proved futile also until 1694, when William and Mary College was opened. This school was operated on the general plan of Oxford University. A few noteworthy facts about the beginning of this college might he of interest to our readers. As early as 1660, sentiment for the establishment of a college in Virginia strong that the General Assembly in Virginia passed an act stating 61 was so THE ARROW “that, for the advance of learning, education of youth, supply of ministry, and the promotion of piety there be land taken upon purchases for a college and free school, and that there be, with as much speed as may he convenient, hous¬ ing for the entertainment of students and scholars.” No definite action was taken in regard to the above until 1691, when Rev. Janies Blair, a Scotchman, and a leading clergyman in Virginia, was sent to England by the General As¬ sembly of Virginia to secure a charter for the college. While waiting for the document to be prepared, Blair took the advantage of certain unique situations for securing funds for his institution in Virginia, He secured three hundred pounds from a group of merchants who were trading in Virginia. He also secured three hundred pounds from some pirates. Queen Mary and King Geoige made several donations: (1 ) 1,985 pounds in money; (2) tax on ex port of tobacco from Maryland and Virginia: (3) 10,000 acres of land in the Pamunkey neck in Virginia and 10.000 acres on the Black water, on the con¬ ditions of presenting to the Governor two copies of Latin verse oil the fifth da of November of each year, J he General Assembly gave all revenues on liquors and on peddlers. I he Virginia House of Burgesses added all exports and duties on skins and furs. The annual revenues of the college up to the Revolution amounted to about $30,000. According to the charter, the college society was to consist of one president, six professors, one hundred, more or less, scholars. The faculty was, at that time, called the Society.” It seemed that all of the subscriptions so generously made by the colonists could not be collected. I he contributors were urged to pay the amount promised but the officials were unable to collect the money, until some of the subscribers were sued in conit. it seems as if this moral trait had been transmitted through the years, as it seems present-day organizations allow a loss of one-third of the subscriptions promised due to being unable to collect all of that promised. When, V illiani and Mary College was first opened, two years were required for the Bachelor of Arts degree and two years in addition for the Master of Arts. In 1878 this was changed to four years for the Bachelor of Arts degree and seven years for the Master of Arts, According to the old monastic views of colleges in England, the professors were unmarried. Only the president had the privilege of having a family, and the violation of this rule brought about much disturbance in the college. 1 wo professors were removed for marrying during their professorship. Soon Williamsburg was the seat of culture in Virginia. In 1698 the cap¬ ital was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg, just at this period Wil¬ liamsburg must have been the most cultured place in America. Some of the rich planters came with their sons and daughters and spent the winter months in the city; the sons to attend William and Mary College, and the daughters 62 THE ARROW to enjoy the social and cultural atmosphere of the Capital. The Phi Beta Kappa society was originally organized at William and Mary College, Decem¬ ber 5, 1776. Following the establishing of William and Mary College, attempts were advanced to erect academies in various parts of Virginia; before 1800 there were as many as twenty-five of these schools in the State. They were gen¬ erally known as “Classical Schools.” The academy of this period represented the coming of science as a part of the college and secondary curricula. Next to William and Mary College, Hampden-Sidney College (1775) is the oldest institution for higher learning in Virginia; and so, on through the many years following, our present-day institutions of learning were founded in turn. In 1825, our first State supported educational institution was founded—“The University of Virginia.” To name all of the higher institutions of learning of the present day would be tedious and boresome, so in a brief summary may I call to your mind a few significant facts concerning education in irginia to-day. From the reports of 1923-1924, there are in this State 303 accredited high schools with a total enrollment of 52,892. The grammar school enrollment for this year is 494,143. There are nine state-supported institutions for higher learning. Eleven standard private colleges and twelve standard junior colleges. With this splendid background and hopeful outlook, may Virginia’s sons and daughters, a hundred years hence, look back and say, “We, of the present day, maintained the standard set up by our forefathers.” H.

Quarter Back SUBSTITUTES HALEY DRENNEN 70 BARNES DIX THE ARROW Football The Cape Charles High School Football Team dosed its season with a string of eight victories in its wake, extending from Chincoteague to Oceana, without a single defeat. But more than the glory of victory the season ' s play gained for the team a reputation for hard, clean fighting and true sportsmanship which the limits of a section cannot hold and which comparative claims cannot dim. The eleven has been ranked among the elevens of the State by winning the Hi-County Championship and its record sets a high-water mark for Cape Charles Football history. The strength of the team lay in its offense. Coach Wilson built an offense which pene¬ trated the defense of any team that outweighed the Wilsonites. ■ The only tally marked up against the defense was by the air route and not by the run¬ ning and plunging styles The season produced no outshining stars The machine and its well-drilied and efficient unity was apparent in every game. A rather speedy start was taken against F N H 5 in which the backfield ran wild. The next game was looked forward to with great anxiety. Though the second game was with F N. H $ . they were forced to take the small end of 45-0. A week later the team journeyed to Oceana where, although outweighed from 10 to 15 pounds per man, the line held like a stone wall while the horsemen were rushing up the score 45-0. The following week was devoted to hard work and signal practice to prepare for the second game of the Bi-County Championship with F. N. H. S. The game was hard fought throughout and several substitutions were made by C. C H. S F. N. H. S. was handed a 40-0 defeat. The third League game with Chincoteague a week off and with a clean slate the hoys went to work harder than ever to keep it clean. The game was hard fought and injuries were frequent Though playing in a strange territory under strange rules the boys gave a good account of themselves and the game ended with Cape Charles at the long end of 26-6. The big game of the season was to be November 11th, when C. C H. S would tie up with Morrison H. S. To us this was a new team but it had a great record. At 2 p. m. November 11th, Patton Field, the referee blew the whistle and two evenly matched elevens took the field, Morrison kicked to Cape Charles and the ball was carried only a short dis¬ tance; then Mapp was called upon to kick out of danger, which he did well and the ball swayed back and forth the whole first period. The second period C, C, H S. showed signs of strength but failed to put the pigskin over and the half ended 0-0. The half up, the teams took the field with a determination to win. The ball seesawed back and forth until finally the chance presented itself and C C. H. S. slipped across Morrison ' s goal line with the ball. The try for goal was missed, which made the score 6-0 in favor of C. C H. S. with fifteen minutes to play. C. C. FL S. kicked to Morrison, who were unable to return it, T he ball was given to C, C, H. S. on downs They were not to be denied and by means of criss-cross play and a beautifully executed drop kick the score was 13-0 in favor of C G H, S. But with seven minutes to play the Cape Charles end scooped up a pass and ran for another touchdown, and the score was 20-0 in favor of C. C. H. S. just as the whistle blew for the end of the game. On Friday, November 14th, the team journeyed to Morrison. After playing the hardest game of the season we took away the honors to the tunc of 7-0. The Chincoteague game was the last game of the Bi-County Championship, when the Wilsonites covered themselves with glory and defeated Chincoteague 61-0. Our total scores for the season were 319; opponents 6. THE ARROW B E SSIE T O W N SEND 72 THE ARROW Track J. F. WILSON .:. Coach PHOEBUS JONES .... Manager WILLIAM MELVIN .[.

I N setting the type, print¬ ing, and binding this book, our object was not to see how quickly and cheaply we could pro¬ duce the publication, but how well it could be done. 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.
