Dave is about as line a fellow as you will ever find. Besides being original, witty, dignified, and hand- some he has made a name for him- self in C. C. H. S. As class presi- dent for three years and as leader in all kinds of athletics, he has shown an ability to make good at whatever he undertakes. OA wAJU T HE A R R O W EMILY (HIXE MILLIGAN “mickie” she says she will, she will, You can depend ont, If she says she won't—she won't That's an end on't. Secretary Class, 1922-28-24-25.

Treasurer Literary Society, 1924-25-26. Associate Editor, Arrow. One of our star pupils who has been with us all through our school ca- reer. Who can it be? Why of course it’s Emily (better known as “Mick- ie”). Emily has always played a leading part in every school activity. No one ever played a game of basket- ball with more determination than Emily. No fan ever rooted harder at a baseball game. While in other lines of extra-curricular activities she stands second to none. As student, pupil, and friend her gentle dignity, serious purpose and cooperative spir- it have made Emily a safe and sane leader. With her sweet disposition she has stolen many hearts. At pres- ent she draws homage not from the far-famed Fountain of Youth but from the nearer fountain of Mac- Math and Taylor’s drug store. And we know that her wisdom, judgment, and personality will win success in whatever field she may enter. T H E A R R O W � r ETHEL MAE PARSONS “effie” “No sinner, nor no saint perhaps. But—One of the very best of chaps.' Secretary of Class, 1921-22-25-26. Treasurer of Class, 1928-24-25. Vice-President Clee Clun, 1923-24. President of Cleo Club, 1924-25' Member of Literary Society, 1923-24-25-26. Secretary of Literary Society, 1923-24. Member of Student Council, 1924-25-26. Member Basket-ball Team, 1926. Assistant Business Manager, Arrow. In 1925 by a lucky shifting of classes, Effie came into our midst. At the time we did not realize what a treasure had come to us, but we soon learned to love her and now we feel that without her dreamy absent- mindedness and jolly presence we should get along badly. One flash of those bewitching hazel eyes under their long curling lashes and mascu- line hearts immediately Hop. Through- out High School she has taken an active part in school activities—Glee Club—Literary Society—Dramatics— and this year she even signed up with the athletes. It will be difficult to find one to take Effie’s place when she leaves C. C. H. S. 'CiU W 14 T H E A R R O W WALTER LANKFORD BLAKE “blake” “lie docs nothing in particular— but he does it well.” Business Manager, Arrow, 1926. President of Literary Society, 192«.

Member Football Team, 1923-24-25. Member Track Team, 1923-24-25-26. Member Baseball Team, 1925-2«. The Joker of the class, but beneath all of his foolishness may lie found the germ of work. He is usually very busy reciting French or talking or writing to the ladies. In dramatics Walter has been a star, and on the athletic field, in football, basket-ball and track he has often made the scores mount starward. As Business Manager of the Arrow he has given us a good administration. Whatever may be his future work, our wishes go with him. 15 T H E A R R O W HAVILAII JEANNE BENNETT “hammy” “She wakes much ado about nothing ” Member Literary Society, 1924-25-26. Member (ilee Club, 1924-25. Member Basket-ball Team, 1924-25-26. Member Track Team, 1926. Assistant Athletic Editor, Arrow. “Havilah Bennett is her name, Coty’s powder is her station, Using lipstick is her game, For a new crush she would wreck creation.” Although Havilah has only been with us two years she has won a place in our hearts that is envied by many. After once seeing that smile and those big grey eyes, you will not forget Havilah very soon. You will find her equally at home poring over her studies, chasing a basket-ball, or doing the “Richmond Hop.” But like all of us she has her faults and her main one is falling for a new collegian. May she be as successful in the world as she has been in High School. — L T HE A R R O W SHIRLEY CHANDLER “snuff” “Capeville or bust” Member of ( lee Club, 1923-24-25. Member of Literary Society, 1924-25. Member of Orchestra, 1923-24-25-2«. Treasurer of Class, 1925-26. Testator. Arrow. Shirley’s work in the orchestra has always been a matter of note, espe- cially his ability to be heard above all the other players. This, however, is no disadvantage, as Shirley’s genius as a saxophone player is so well known throughout the school that an accident here and there is the slip which makes our artist human. His playing would delight even Stokow- ski. Of course, though, when Shirley gets right down to work there is nothing that can stop him. History and even Caesar become his play- things when Shirley gets in his work- ing mood. The thing, however, that blocks his interest is strenuous phys- ical labor. For this reason athletics have never attracted him. He does not even enjoy the thrills of an ex- cited fan. Naturally, Shirley is pop- ular with all the ladies, as one who lives not so far away can testify. His debonair air accounts for this though. Well, Shirley, we all wish you good luck, and hope that you have success in whatever work you undertake. 17 T H E A R R O W BERTHA LAMBERTSON “rert” “Not much talk—a great, sweet silence.” Member Literary Society, 1 924-25-2f . Member Clee Club, 1024-25. Member Basket-ball Team, 1924-25. Social K litor, Arrow. Here we have a real pal who'll do all she can for every one. Bertha has a wonderful disposition and always wears a smile. She is demure and one of those exceedingly rare girls who are loved hy all. She has been working real hard on her subjects this year and since a certain “Young” gentleman has been paying obeisance to her she has had so much interest in life that even Latin and Math are her sports. “Bert” is the smallest girl of the Senior Class but takes up a great big corner in all our hearts. Here’s hoping you will be as success- ful in the years to come as you have been in the days at C. C. H. S. 18 T HE A R R O W JAMES WILLIAMS POWELL “jimmy” “Good nature is beauty of mind and better than wit” Member of Glee Club, 1924-25. Member of Literary Society, 1924-25-2(1. Critic of Literary Society, 1924-25. Member of Basket-ball, 1925. Member of Track Team, 1926. Member of Baseball Team, 1926. President of Student Council, 1925-26. Assistant Manager Baseball. 1924-25. Manager of Basel all, 1925-26. Treasurer of Athletic Association, 1925-26. Associate Editor, Arrow. Jimmy came to Cape Charles High School in his Freshman year. Hav- ing received his earlier education in South Carolina he is always ready to tell us about his home state. Jim- my entered upon the school activities immediately after he started to school and has made himself a necessary part of our school life, particularly among the girls. Jimmy loves the Eastern Shore, especially the little section known as Machipongo. Here he is spending much time studying the topography of the country trying to get the priority right to the “Dot” of a certain household in that local- ity. Although full of fun and mis- chief, Jimmy has shown that he is capable of much work, worthy of any trust, and ambitious to till with honor his every duty. He did not become an athlete until his Senior year but he has starred since he step- ped or ran into this arena. His great- est ambition is to become an electri- cal engineer and invent a machine that shall rival the radio. The class of ’26 sincerely hopes that your am- bition may come true. THE ARROW HARRY HENRY RUSSELL “chesty” “Sleep, little baby, sleep” Literary Society, 1924-25-20. Vice-President Class, 1922-23. Literary Editor, Arrow. Here conies the baby of our class. Hush! fellows, don’t let out the se- cret about Santa Claus, because be really doesn’t know. He lias been with us for eleven years and we have all learned to like him for his friend- ly good nature, and to admire him for bis bright mind. At first one is inclined to think him solemn, but upon better acquaintance bis quiet humor becomes evident. Harry’s a serious kind of boy, Not given to making a fuss. But when he’s gone from out our midst, ’Twill be a loss to us. You know that this young Senior Is a student of fair renown, He leads a quiet, studious life, And on foolishness looks with a frown. THE ARROW VIRGINIA BELLE SADLER “belle” “They laugh that win.” Glee Club, 1924-25. Literary Society, 1924-25-26. Critic of Literary Society, 1925-26. Joke Editor of Arrow. Where there is laughter and noise you will find Virginia. She has been with us from the time we started our long journey in search of knowledge with Miss Scott. Virginia is an ac- tive and enthusiastic member of the class and has made a good record. Recently she has developed a desire to ride through life in a “STAR,” so we the class of ’26 wish her every happiness for her future. 21 THE ARROW CARL FRANCIS SCHAEFER “bus” Prettd tnoi tel qui je suis.” Member of the Literary Society, 1924-25-26. Historian of Arrow. On September 15, 1923, Cape Charles High School gained a new member. At the time we did not realize the good fortune that had be- fallen us, for on this lucky day Carl came to us from the School of the Holy Family. For the past three years he has been a credit to his for- mer school and an honor to us. He has also proved himself the cleverest student in Virgil class: said Carl be- ing the only person, so far, to be able to convince Miss Sara that lie has studied his lessons, when he hasn't. Quiet, thoughtful, studious and dig- nified, all describe Carl, but under this misleading air of solemnity lurks the spirit of mischief and fun. For our classmate is right there with his “ TEETH.” May your after life be as successful as your life in school has been. 22 THE ARROW GEORGIE X.

Georgie—the embodiment of work, sincerity, courage, altruism, and en- thusiasm, is never too busy to share in others’ joys and sorrows. She has been a treasure to the class through- out her school career. We look upon Georgie as a valuable possession and would feel lost without her. Al- though she spends some time puzzling out her French and History marks, she is always ready for a joke or frolic and is one who fulfils the defi- nition of a true friend and a jolly good sport. Her manner and natural sweetness have a place in our hearts that can not be forgotten. So the Class of ’25 wishes her every success and happiness in the future. tl)’.

When we look at Thelma we stop and wonder how the same person can date, support the basket-ball team, make her classes, and yet find time to satisfy her artist temperament. Luck was with us in our third year in school when she came to be a mem- ber of our class and we do not know- how we could have done without her. She is a good sport in the truest sense of the word; the best of helpers, al- ways ready to do all she can for any worthy cause. Hop really makes things go. We all have an idea how Thelma will spend her after years; and we wish her the best of luck. t) 24 THE ARROW Alma Mater With praise and smiles zee greet thee, Alma Mater, And with hearts and souls of love.

D., ’27. 25 � THE ARROW Your Presence is Desired at the Class Reunion or '26 at the Cape Charles Club in the Blue Room Tuesday 24, 1940 8:00 P. M. Be prepared for a short talk. R. S. V. P. |UZZ! Buzz! Buzz! An occasional tap of the drum, which was the only sound that broke the stillness: all was anticipation. The lights were just at the right shade, not glaring and piercing but soft and attractively decorated. From the ceiling hung streamers of green and grey; each window had “26 draped over it; on the table were huge vases of lilies- of-the-valley, artistically placed in green and grey bowls. The color scheme of green and grey was carried out wonderfully. The decorations, lighting effect and all, reminded everyone of the Junior-Senior Banquet of 1926. The long table which was in the center of the room, looked almost fairy-like; the cloth was spotless, silver was arranged in perfect order and at each place was a little green and grey favor with a small lily-of-the- valley and the class motto, “What we do, let us do well. attached to it; china, glasses and silver shone under the soft light. Suddenly a loud clash on the cymbal quieted everything and from a little group in one corner rose a familiar figure marked by the grace and dignity which he had always possessed. David stepped forward and introduced the Orchestra which played an old familiar school song, and thus stirred in the depths of all hearts the good old school spirit, ready to cooperate in every- thing. After the orchestra had played several selected pieces they adjourned, and David took the platform (which was another good idea of someone). It was a miniature schoolhouse, imitating the one the class of '26 graduated 26 '1' H E A R R 0 W from. From it floated a green and grey Hag. David stood on the front step —it was to be his “pulpit.” Friends, 1 am pleased with the wonderful attendance we have this even- ing. I know all of us have followed with interest the great development of Cape Charles since we pulled ourselves away from it to start on our own life- work. By appearances, everyone of the Class of '26 has come into success. This meeting does not seem like a Class Reunion to me but just a wonderful gathering of all the dear friends of earlier days. It almost reminds us of our lovely times together in C. C. H. S. “'I liis reunion is a hit embarrassing to all present when you come to speak of yourself. But all of us have to say a little something of what we have been doing in the lapse of a few years. It might not he so embarrassing for Miss Sara or Mr. DeHaven, who have the art of speaking at such meetings, hut it is rather breath-taking for such as I. Anyone wishing to take a nap for about two minutes has the privilege, as that will he as long as my speech will last. “A few of you know that even in High School days my interests always ran strong for “First Aid work. In finding my place in the world’s work I was drawn to the medical profession. My years' happiness is helping those who cannot help themselves. My greatest interest. I shall add, is in the chil- dren’s ward, where so many little tots seek relief from sufferings. One case especially stirred my sympathy and professional interest. A little hoy was not expected to recover; should he live, no one believed he would he able to take another step. Two other doctors and myself handled the case. We kept the hoy in the hospital a week before performing the operation so as to build up his resistance. Now the little fellow is doing fine as a messenger boy, using both feet and a very healthy hoy is he. My happiness excelled that of the hoy’s parents to think that I had a hand in making one of the greatest opera- tions ever performed. And now I think I’ve blown my horn enough, and shall give someone else a chance. “I shall call the roll and the owner of the name called will please take the platform. Havilah Bennett, our ‘Charleston’ teacher of ’26.” A tall, slender woman stepped on the platform. “My work is C|uite different from that of David. Mine is to try to create more or less of a humor in persons. Lately I've been playing on Broadway in one of the musical plays of the season. This is just the sort of work I like because I am able to see much of the country that I would not otherwise see. I’ve been thrown into the company of some of my former friends in old Cape Charles. The company T am now with is in Norfolk, a performance begins 27 T H E A R R O V X- there in two davs. I must add in closing that k a|ie t harlcs lias some wonder- ful developments, and I'm going to try to persuade my company to visit here sometime in the near future. 1 am mighty glad to lie a member of such a successful class as '26 and to be a i art of this wonderful reunion. W alter Blake. you are next on the program to tell of yourself and work, said David. Your Honor and Fellow Students, 1 am here to tell you of what 1 m doing. It's not much of interest to you now hut if you. the class of 26, ever get into mishap of any sort of trouble, just call on W alter and 1 11 see what he can do for von. 1 suppose all of you know that I like my work fine liecause 1 can talk all I please without being interrupted until my speech is finished. Though a lawyer's work is not as easy as 1 thought it would lie, it is very in- teresting. It teaches us things we'd never think of otherwise and makes us understand things, thoroughly, lie fore judging wrongly. One of mv cases was most interesting and to my delight 1 won the hard fought-for decision. The case was that of an innocent man. rather young, wrongly accused of mur- der. Thev held him on circumstantial evidence and proceeded to prosecute am wav. 1 defended the young man, who knew the murderer but was protect- ing someone else bv a stoical silence. After much hard work and pondering, in order to shield a certain one not in the least connected with the murder, we won the case overwhelmingly. Yow its someone else s turn, but I, too, must sav how much I'm enjoying this meeting and what a wonderfully prosperous tow n dear old Cape Charles is T knew, said David, resuming the platform, that W alter would lie a lawyer because he's always lieen noted for argument in High School, most especially in French Class. Our next on roll is Bertha Eambertson, a very Young lady, in looks and in name also. Bertha taking the stand: Folks, 1 hardlv know what to say. I'm so thrilled over the wonderful meeting as we're bal ing now , and to think that so few years have passed, but vet. those vears have brought many changes. How we are treated with every- thing to remind us of '26. and yet there’s lots to remind us that it really is 40. As for mv work T just don't know how to talk aliout it only it s just grand. T bar e charge over a department in the 'Van Declair Co..' most of the employees T supervise are girls around my own age and all of them are fine. The work is not so hard but it has more responsibility than any other department in the firm. They have rest rooms as elaborate as those in theaters, each person being able to rest a certain period of the day. Everyone likes the firm and I'd just hate to leave it. This is all I can think of to tell my 26 friends. 1 wish you 28 T H E A R R O W all even more good luck and prosperity in all tilings than you have had in the past.” “Next on roll is Shirley Chandler, said David, “our already noted saxo- phonist.” “Yes, and I’m still endeavoring to blow ! I guess I'll be out of wind pretty soon. I’ve been noticing the orchestra that plays for us to-night; they are all wonderful musicians and if they only would watch their step and keep up the work they will do fine. I’ll agree with Dave in his statement at the opening of the speeches, and that was, ‘talking about one's self is very embarrassing.’ I have ten orchestras under my direction and I wouldn’t miss having one of them for anything. I thoroughly enjoy mingling with these chaps. We always have a fine time wherever we go. Our best times are when we play on the stage; there we meet people after the performance and go to dinner. This work has carried me where I’d never have gone had it not 1 een for my or- chestras. One of my most cherished memories or achievements is when my thirty piece orchestra was competing with one of Paul Whiteman’s. There were twenty-five judges, all noted musicians, and they passed the cup, by a great majority, to my orchestra. We celebrated our victory with much mirth. I notice that the orchestra has taken its place and is ready to play some more for us. They seem impatient to start and relieve the monotony of my much talk- ing about my own orchestras, so I'll take a seat and listen to their selections, hoping they will play some of our old class songs. I thank you for your atten- tion. On with the music.” The orchestra began with a peppy song which tuned everybody up. Near the end of this selection the lights became dim and changed colors. The effect was beautiful for the next piece was a wonderful familiar song, “The Capital School.” The lights next were very dim and just the piano kept playing for about one minute. The lights grew brighter and the orchestra l egan playing and marching around the hall dressed in green and grey. They ended up in a figure representing “26.” After this bit of recreation the orchestra turned the meeting over to the President again. David announced, The next on the roll is Ethel May Parsons. Every one’s eves were opened wide when our Effie appeared on the platform, because there in front of everyone stood a very striking girl in a very striking costume, the latest out. “I cannot express my great delight at being aide to attend so grand a re- union as this. I couldn’t really call myself working for what I do affords so much pleasure. I have just returned from a trip to Paris gathering the latest styles and fads. I have gotten so I don't even get sea-sick going across and 29 T HE A R R O W that makes me enjoy the trips even more. For the ladies the latest styles now is dresses twelve inches from the ground and full skirt. The latest vogue in hats are all picture shape. For men. the latest is very wide trousers, tight coats, and high silk hats. “Maybe my work in the world has not l een as worth while as that of some of you hut then i eople's tastes must lie satisfied and shallow minds ache for fads and fancies as well as suffering Ixxlies ache for medical relief, so there! James Powell. said David, is our next orator. Ladies and gentlemen, it surely seems fine to be with all of you once more and 1 hope we can arrange to meet again real soon. This is the most wonderful meeting I’ve ever attended, yet it is quite embarrassing. My latest work is erecting a dam over Niagara. I’ve l een working for many years trying to become a good electrical engineer. I regard this contract as a decided mark of success. It has filled my every moment for a long time but I just made it pos- sible to leave for a day and attend this reunion. I couldn't miss it and I sin- cerely hope that all of you may v isit Niagara soon and pass your own opinion on my work. In closing let me say that I am looking forward to a similar meeting to this in another year.” “Virginia Saddler, announced David, “you will preside next, you will all notice that I am calling you by your school name, it seems more like 26. “But just the same I'm ‘thrilled to a peanut' over my entire name, said Virginia, mounting the platform. My work is not in the least like that of any who have previously spoken. My work has been absorbed in that of my hus- band. My whole ambition soul was with him while he was inventing the quick ‘Majestic’ for the aid of all Fire Companies. This device has proved most val- uable in case of either large or small fires. My work is my husband s and though he has invented several other small devices this has proved the most useful and successful. At present it is used by all fire companies ‘in the East.' I have a letter here from Harry Russel, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, said David, he being next on the roll. I shall read his letter. “Dear Friends of ’26: I regret very much my failure to attend the reunion of the class of ’26. I had made all plans to attend but at the last minute an important meeting claimed my time. 1 only wish I could he with you to hear the wonderful life- work of all. I am proud of my position and I'll always l)e at your service. Very sincerely yours, Harry Russel, Pres. P. R. R. 30 THE A R R O W “Our next on roll is Georgie Wilson.” “I guess it will seem strange when I say that I'm working in the slum districts of the large cities instead of being a doctor as I always said I would he in mv High School Days. I thoroughly enjoy my work now, a girl friend whom I met at College is my companion. We do our work together. No one can realize the need of such work until he sees the very conditions. Our work- lias been very prosperous and I am proud to say that I here received funds from most every one present to help carry on this work. I feel the great need of help. I have gained many friends and much intelligence in the work.” “Carl Schaefer, the platform is yours,” said David. “Bonjour mes amis, and I hope you all are well. After leaving the won- derful days of High School behind me I began the study of different languages. I enjoyed this so much that I have ended up by using it as my life-work. It has carried me to many countries and taught me much. I have been abroad several times working with the Consular Service and that has broadened my vocabulary and perfected my pronunciation. Since my return from one of these trips I have been a Government Interpreter, at Washington in the Dip- lomatic Service. I have had many interesting experiences in the work. One of my most surprising experiences was when I was in Paris. I he Consul called me on the phone and bade me go to the M. Laffier Hartel. He informed me that there was an American who was delirious with fever. Upon entering the room of the sick man, 1 found that he had come from his delirium and immediately I recognized him to Ik none other than Mr. J. 1 Wilson. Soon lie was more comfortable and was able to tell me something of his affairs. He had )x en appointed by the Department of Education in I . S. to introduce foot- ball in the public schools of Paris. At scrimmage practice a week before our old friend Prex had been caught in the rush and hurt on the head. At first they feared concussion of the brain but he had come around all right, and was soon back at work.” “I might add that I'm at your service. “Our next on roll is Thelma Wise, last but not least.” “I’m here and I was not late getting here. I thought of Miss Sara as soon as I received my invitation liecause I d always have to report to her for one hour for being tardy. But now. I’m a little more punctual, but then, most mar- ried jieople are! Just because I found my mate I haven t given up the work I liegan in High School days. I have just finished the portrait of the Presi- dent's wife and it turned out fine. My drawings have afforded me great pleas- ure. I would come to do the ]x rtrait of any present if you wouldn t get tired and wiggle. When you wiggle I get cross. I don’t have much time to do any 31 T HE A R R O W painting now.

At our first class meeting we elected as our officers: President, Ken- non Horner: Vice-President, Harry Russell: Secretary, Emily Miligan ; Treas- urer, Georgie Wilson. We also chose our motto, “What we do let us do well,” our colors, green and grey: and our flower, lily of the valley. We were rep- resented in all branches of athletics. Our first social function was a Hallow- e’en party at the home of Alice Bristow. 'I'lie next year we returned to school, no longer frogs, but real honest to goodness Sophomores. Our first work as Sophomores was the organization of our class. We elected the following officers: President, David Horner: Vice-President, Georgie Wilson; Secretary, Emily Miligan; and Treasurer, Shirley Chandler. We were even l etter represented in athletics as Sophs than as Frogs. We also had members in the Glee Club and Orchestra but as we were only Sophs we were not permitted to enter the Literary Society which had just been organized. We did not have many social events, but our Hallowe’en party at the home of Shirley Chandler was fully en joyed by everyone. We entered into our Junior year with more pep than ever before. Again our first work was to organize our class. We elected our same trustworthy officers who had served us so well in our Sophomore year. We were again well represented in Athletics, Glee Club, and Orchestra, and as Juniors we were sufficiently advanced in age and knowledge to enter the Literary Society. At last the Faculty thinks we are grown up enough to entertain the Seniors. We also gave them a banquet at the end of school. Our first play “The Varsity Coach” which we gave in April was a big success. At last! Our greatest ambition, Seniors! Again we immediately elected our officers. We elected: David Horner, President, Emily Milligan, Vice- President, Ethel Mae Parsons, Secretary, and Walter Blake, Treasurer. We also elected the editorial staff of the Arrow. This year we are again repre- sented in Athletics, Literary Society, and Orchestra. We are soon to get 37 THE A R R O W ready for our play which we hope to make a better success than our Junior play was. We were entertained at the P. R. R. Club on January 8th, and everyone enjoyed themselves to the utmost. And now, we of the class of '26 bid adieu to our Old Alma Mater who has carried us successfully through so many joys and sorrows. May she in the years that are to come nurture and train the youths of Cape Charles in the same high ideals of success and service that she has ever held to be real education. C. F.

Our class numbered about twenty-three at that time—three of which dropped from the ranks the first year. We organized and elected the following officers: Edwina Coulbourn, Pres- ident; Lillian Charnock, Vice-President; Joseph William Coleburn, Junior, Secretary; Clarence Haley, Treasurer. During this year many of our mem- bers proved valuable assets on the athletic fields as well as in academic work. We gave a Hallowe'en Party for our class and faculty this first year. It is needless to say the time passed rapidly, pleasantly and profitably. The following year we were promoted to the ranks of Sophomores and we re-organized our class and elected as officers: Edwina Coulbourn, Presi- dent; William Travis, Vice-President : Joseph William Coleburn Junior, Sec- retary; Virginia Marchington, Treasurer. Of course, our gnawing had grown to a downright grubbing by this time and before we knew it, our Sophomore vear was almost at an end. During the year, we gave a Hallowe'en Party for our class and faculty. Of course, we began to think of the following scholastic year and often wondered if we had done our best, to lie fitted to be a Junior but—time could only show us that. Now we are Juniors and we are determined to play that part assigned to us. Our officers this year are: Edwina Coulbourn, President: Catherine Beattv, Vice-President: William Travis, Secretary: Clarence Haley, Treas- urer. During the session so far, we have given a party for the Seniors and the faculty, and a play called, “Lost—A Chaperon.” This play was in even- sense of the word a success and we felt well paid for our efforts in producing it. Although our Junior year is rapidly closing, we have spring athletics to look forward to. We will be well represented in these and hope to play our part well. We are looking forward to our Senior year so that the Immortals of 1927 can show the mortals of 1926 just how things should be done. V. H., '27. p.

THE ARROW Sophomore History ITH but few changes our class lias progressed through its freshman year and has reached the stage of being dignified “Sophs.” To be a Rookie was a pleasant experience but to be a Sophomore proves an amelioration. To be sure we missed the initiation and the care which the Sophs, Juniors and Seniors gave us during our Freshman year but it was equal fun to lie an ex-victim. Our class of twenty-two has dwindled to the number of seventeen, we have parted with eight of our old classmates, and received one new one in return. As a result of our second election of officers, Josephine Sterling was made president, Elizabeth Wilson, vice-president, Redwood Nottingham, secretary, Leonard Richardson, treasurer. Sallie Bishop Jones was appointed as our representative in the Student Council. Our class motto: “Be square remains unchanged, our class colors Blue and Gold, and class flower “Sweetheart rose.” Since the first successful party given during our Freshman year, we have had one given at the home of Julia Wilkins on November 20. Since we are so young the faculty decrees that one party a year is our limit so we must be satisfied to wait until next year for further social activities. V.

There were big frogs and little frogs, green frogs and greener frogs, but all were alike in one respect. Each one was a modest, timid frog, wondering what special exercises of diving and swimming the upper classmen would im- pose upon the poor innocents. 'I he first trap was for the boys. We were met with delight by the upper classmen. (We didn't think it quite so funny as they did and we soon had a full course in jumping and hopping to orders.) It was not long before we organized our class under the kind guidance of Miss Outten. We elected Virginia Powell as president: Milbourne Neighbors, vice-president; Dorothy Lowe, secretary; and Jack Hancock, treasurer. We selected gold and white our colors, “Onward to Noble Deeds” our motto, and the Daisy as our class flower. We are proud to say that two of our members went out for basket-ball in the fall and we hope to see even more in the spring. We entertained the Faculty at a “swell Hallowe'en party at the Boy Scout cabin. We all had a fine time. After Christmas holidays we thought we could neycr get to work again but now we are resolved to pass on all our exams with flying colors. “Onward to Noble Deeds, Freshmen.” 45 J. N.

Such was the spirit with which our High School students adopted the Honor System at the beginning of the mid- term of 1925. At the discretion of the Faculty a Student Council was appointed, with two representa- tives from the Senior Class and one from each of the other classes. This council meets with the Faculty to discuss problems relative to the Honor System and to the students in general. It might he said that the Honor System is on trial to determine the success or downfall of the most cherished thing a school can possess. Surely with such at stake we cannot fail, for on the success of our Honor System depends the life of the ideals of our school. 49 T H E A R R O W David Horner ... Clarence Haley Willie Travis ....

However we rallied from this “gone feeling’ and organ- ized with Mr. MacIntyre as Director. A smaller unit of the Brass section organized as a “Jazz” Orchestra with Joe Bill Coleburn as “Director” in order to give music at assembly and social events where the entire orchestra could not serve because of numbers. This section has played at several public performances as well as the class socials. We shall not have an Orchestra Concert this year because so many other entertainments have claimed our time.

Each year has shown more clearly the value of this interesting and useful course. Quite a few are enrolled, eight are taking bookkeeping, ten shorthand, and thirteen typewriting. The ability of this class has already been shown—and Mr. A. S. DeHaven has not hesitated to take advantage of it either. With their speed in shorthand and typewriting and accuracy in bookkeeping, one need not feel surprised at any success they may achieve in the business world. 52 SPONSORS Georgie Wilson, Sponsor for Basket-ball Catherine Beatty, Sponsor for Track Ethel Mae Parsons, Sponsor for Baseball THE ARROW Athletic Council David Horner Clarence Haley James Powell Joe Bill Coleburn Mr. A.

'26. 63 T H E A R R O W £ History of Public Education in Cape Charles N order to note progress and to have a higher appreciation of the ad- vantages which we have today, let us look back a few years and note the changes in our school system. On account of lack of records many things may be omitted as well as the names of many who have given valuable service. However what is contained herein may be accepted as au- thentic as the writer is very closely associated with those who were pupils in our schools in the eighties and whose association has continued to the present time. The first school sessions were held in the fall of 1885 in the Methodist Church which was situated on the southwest corner of Monroe Avenue and Plum Street. This building was afterward sold to the colored people and finally moved to Jefferson Avenue where it stands today. We hear so much these days of equipment. The pupils in that school lacked equipment, at least equipment that was very simple. They had no desks, no blackboards, only the church pews. Many of the pupils of that period are numliered among our first citizens of today and their children are our schoolmates. The first teacher was Mr. J. G. Haley, a brother of Mr. Long Haley of Cheriton. He received the lucrative salary of $30.C0 per month. Teaching requires patience and perhaps the amount of the salary goes far towards developing this patience. This will help us to excuse Mr. Haley for hurling a book at a seven year old pupil with such force as to skin his nose. Teachers of today note the increase in the amount of salary. Pupils, please note the change in discipline. This school was financed by the County as the Town was not chartered until March 1st, 1886. Before Mr. Haley s period the few children were taught bv the Methodist minister. Rev. j. W. Hammersley: he was paid by the parents. We merely insert this in case it is held by some that all school sessions in the church were paid by private tuition. Mr. Haley was paid by the County. The next period starting with the fall of 1886 deals with the first Town school. The first School Board was composed of Messrs. Charles A. Mac- Kinney, George W. Russell, and the late Allen D. Smith. Following these with varying lengths of service have been : Mr. John H. Carrol, Mr. W. I� . Wilson. Mr. Nicholas, Mr. W. T. Townsend, Mr. J. 1). King, Mr. J. G. Rodgers, Mr. 64 T H E A R R O W John 'I'. Daniel. Mr. J. W. Jones, Mr. G. B. Tilghman, l)r. W. D. Williams, Mr. J. W. Wilson, Mr. J. V. Moore, Mr. Warren 'Popping, Mr. Aubrey Wil- liams. 'Phe last name to he added to this list is that of Mr. Aubrey Williams, lie is the first to serve on the Board who was a pupil in the school. The first Town school was a one-room building about twenty by thirty feet and it was situated on Tazewell Avenue near Fig Street, this building is still in existence in the colored section. It is changed in appearance as it has a front porch and a kitchen added. Miss Emma Fitchett was the first teacher in this school, fol- lowed by M iss Dollie Whittington. At this school there was better equipment, for the teacher had a blackboard, a table and a chair. She was enabled to keep her eyes on the mischievous ones in the far corners as she was enthroned on a platform about twelve inches high. Better equipment, but mark this, the pupils' desks and seats were homemade, very crude, seating four or five at each long desk. There were some fortunate ones whose parents objected to having them crowded and at their own expense provided separate desks and chairs for their children. Of course they were envied by the others who occu- pied those backbreaking benches. Finally that platform mentioned above served a double purpose. When the enrollment reached seventy the little chil- dren were seated around it. Although they had no back support it was better than those high backbreaking benches. The age of the pupils who attended this school ranged from beginners to those of fourteen or fifteen years and there was but one teacher to all these pupils. At the beginning of this school the boys had to make the fires and the girls had to clean up, later a janitor was secured. The fall of 1894 saw a change, a wonderful stride forward. This move was a two-story brick building on the corner of Monroe Avenue with two rooms and a cloak room for each room. This building was equipped with modern furniture and had adequate blackboard space. In a few years more space was needed and additions were made. In 1898 two rooms were added on the west side of this building. These four rooms took care of the pupils for a few years. In 1908 a frame building was added and in 1910 another room was added to this frame portion. It was about this same period that extra rooms were secured down town to take care of the overflow. W ith the steady growth of the Town it was seen that much larger quarters would soon he needed so two more years closed the history of this building as a school. It was afterward turned into a residence. Miss Orelia Williams was the first principal followed by Mr. W. FI. Jones, Mr. R. D. White. Mr. Nock (two months of Mr. White’s term), Mr. Folk. Mr. Lake, Mr. Dickinson. Mr. Hen- 65 T H E A R R O VV derson, Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Stone, Mr. Bloxton, Mr. Gentry, Mr. Clark, Mr. Ryan, who served at the next school also. On March 29th, 1912, the School moved into its present home of brick and stucco. Originally this building had eight rooms and an Auditorium. In 1918 new rooms were added to this to take care of the ever-increasing en- rollment. While the present equipment is not adequate we are very proud of it. We now have fourteen teachers, twelve rooms, a good library, a chemical laboratory and an Auditorium seating four hundred people. 1 he Principals from the beginning of this School to the present follow in order: Messrs. Ryan, Gulick, Alexander, 1). W. Peters, A. S. DeHaven. “Three cheers for Mr. DeHaven.” As already stated many names have to be omitted for lack of space but this short history would not he complete without the names of Miss Sarah Doughty and Miss Rebecca Scott. Teachers come and teachers go but Miss Sarah has liked us well enough to stay with us since 1899. Her efforts for the library have been untiring. Miss Scott has l een the guardian angel of the six vear olds since 1912 when we moved into our present home. It also seems right to mention that the school has been helped by many organi- zations, special mention being made of the Alumni Association and the School League. The changes noted from that first school held in the Church to the present are the changes registered in a generation: here’s a wish that the next genera- tion may add even more to this history. H.

Joe Bill paying homage to any girl but Edwina? Carl Schaefer without his “teeth”? Virginia Hughes talking loudly? Virginia Lee having a serious moment? Jack MacMath putting out any energy? Thelma Wise on time? Emily Miligan ii bad humor? Virginia Sadler with her mouth shut? Isadore Thornton weighing ninety pounds? Walter Blake once satisfied? Ethel Mae Parsons not in love? Jimmy Powell being bashful? Miss Sara chewing gum? David Horner not vamping the ladies? Mr. Wilson doing the shimmy”? Skeeter Smith in Mr. Wilson’s pants? Harry Russell running the 100-yard dash?

Havilah Bennett unable to do the “Charleston”? Clarence Haley not getting a daily letter from R.-M. W. C.? Josephine Sterling without a compact? Elbert Doss trying to sing? John Burbage six feet tall? Catherine Beatty not listening to the silk “Russell”? Virginia Marchington without a “Boh”? Brands Post in knickers? 73 THE ARROW Mr. Wilson (in History): Ethel Mae, suppose you and Harry drew up a contract and he doesn’t live up to his word. What would you sue him for? Ethel Mae: I would sue him for breach of promise. Catherine: How many poached eggs can a giant eat on an empty stomach? Virginia Hughes: Quite a few, I sup- pose. Catherine: One. for after that his stom- ach isn’t empty. David: Will your watch tell time? Jimmy P.: No, you have to look at it. Miss Sara (in Virgil) : Willis, can you read this sentence? Willis: Yes’m. Miss Sara: Then read. Willis (in deep earnest): The gates of the gods sat down. Virginia Lee: What chicken is like a pav- ing stone? Edwina: Really I don’t know. Virginia Lee: A Plymouth Rock. Walter: I knocked them cold on that exam. Georgie: What did you get ? Walter: Zero. In Aberdeen the undertaker advertised a special on all coffins. The next day thirty Scotchmen committtd suicide. Willie: Au revoir. Joe Bill: What does that mean? Willie: It means good-bye in French. Joe Bill: Carbolic Acid. Willie: What does that mean? Joe Bill: It means good-bye in any lan- guage. Jimmy P.: In what month do the people of Cape Charles eat the least? Ethel Mae: I don’t know. Jimmy P.: In February, for it has only 28 days. Mr. Wilson: Georgie, on what lines was the Constitution drawn up? Georgie: On the Mason and Dixon line. Xewly-wed shopping: I want a “little oven.” Clerk : But—er—ah—not in your hus- band’s presence. Sue (worriedly) : Are you sure you took the right road? David: Somebody did, and left an awful thing in its place. A young man had given up his job in the shoe store and bad taken a position in a hardware store. A few days later a far- mer’s daughter came in to buy some mule shoes. What size do you wear?” he inquired. Yes, “What size do you wear” was his usual question. Xow he is looking for his old job. Miss Sara: Catherine, what does the word quid mean? Catherine: What. Miss Sara: Quid? Catherine: What. Miss Sara : Oh ! my mistake. John Burbage: That’s a terrible looking suit you have on. Joe Bill: Suits me. If love is blind, then passion is cockeyed. Miss Sara (thoughtfully) : I think I’ll teach long enough to get a pension, and then I know some man will marry me for my money. 74 T H E A R R O W Jimmy P.: What would you say if I threw you a kiss? Dot Melson: I’d say you were the laziest man I ever knew. David: Wassa matter, Walter? Walter: Sad news. All the great are dy- ing. David: What about it? Walter: I don’t feel so good myself. Mrs. Wilkins: Anne, doesn’t Walter know how to say good night? Anne: Oh! Mother, I’ll say he does. IN MEMORIAM This space was to have been occupied with a joke on Elbert Doss’s sneezes, but it was so funny that the compositor died in convulsions and the staff forbade our pub- lishing it. AX EXTRACT FROM ONE OF MRS. WILLIS’S LATIN EXERCISES “I was brought up on a farm, and I can do all kinds of farm work. I know how to milk and handle horses.” Ethel Mae: Shhhhhh. they’re asleep. Georgie: What’s asleep? Ethel Mae: My feet. Walter: I hear you were up to Sue’s the whole evening and she never said a word to you. David: Well, I was holding her hands. Bertha (sentimentally): Night after night he gazes up at the stars. It is his very work, his life interest. Emily: I know a boy like that. He plays the piano in the movies. Miss Sara: Ell ert. can you use a verb transitive and intransitive? Elbert: Yes’m. The hen sets, and I set. Jimmy P.: Watch out, silly! Don’t strike that match on that gas tank. David : It’s all right. It’s a safety match. Mr. MacIntyre: What imports have the most tax placed on them? Harry: Cosmetics. Mr. DeHavcn: Joe. who do you think is the hardest grader on the Faculty? Joe Schaefer: Mr. Wilson, he takes off if he finds a period upside down. Russell: Oh, Virginia. Virginia Hughes: Uh-huh. Russell: Where was the lire department when Rome burned? John (to Emily playing the piano) : Would you mind playing “Sometime”? Emily: What do you think I’m doing, sleeping? Miss Outten: What do they call the room at the medical college where they keep the dead people? F. Detwiler: The dormitory. . Harry (explosively) : That’s the ugliest man I’ve ever seen. Charlotte: Hush, Harry, you forget your- self. Emily: How did you get that bump on your head? John: That’s where a thought struck me. These poems were writ To save the race: But all they do Is lill up space. Of all sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these: I’ve flunked again. Tell me not as wise guys put it. High School life’s a pleasant dream; Seems to me it’s more a nightmare Filled with here and there a scream. I would not he an angel, For angels have to sing: I’d rather be a teacher And never do a thing. When I die, my comrades. Be it soon or late. Put me in the fireplace So I’ll mingle with the great. 75 r II E A R R O W Statistics Presidents of the Student Council Herbert Stevenson ..............................................................1925 James Powell .................................................................. 192b Presidents of the Athletic Association Raymond Grimmer .....................:..........................................1923 Kenneth Beatty ................................................................ 1924 Herbert Stevenson ..............................................................1925 David Horner ................................................................. 1926 Baseball Captains Clarence Fitchett ...............................................................1919 Clarence Fitchett ............................................................. 1920 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1921 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1922 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1923 Farl Marshall .....................................................................1924 Louis Gctzell .....................................................................1925 David Horner ......................................................................1926 Basket-Ball Captains Ammon Bartley .................................................................1919 Albert Richardson .............................................................. 1920 Raymond Grimmer ................................................................. 1923 Walter Blake ......................................................................1926 Football Captains Clarence Fitchett ...............................................................1920 John Milligan ................................................................. ...1921 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1922 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1923 Arthur Page Disharoon .............................................................1924 Edmund Neighbors ..................................................................1925 Directors of the Orchestra Raymond Grimmer ............................................................... 1923 Ammon Bartley .....................................................................1924 Herbert Stevenson .................................................................1925 Joe Bill Coleburn .................................................................1926 Arrow Editors-in-Chief Evelyn Lowe .......................................................................1919 Susan Fitchett ..... .1920 Ruth Cox ..........................................................................1921 Elizabeth Beatty ................................................................. 1922 Virginia Wilson ...................................................................1923 Helen Grimmer ................................................................... 1924 Adaline Milligan ................................................................. 1925 Gcorgie Wilson ....................................................................1926 Business Managers Arrow Page Powell ..................................................................... 1920 Denard Travis .....................................................................1921 Pearle Brown ......................................................................1922 Ernest Churn ......................................................................1923 Kenneth Beatty ....................................................................1924 William Melvin ....................................................................1925 Walter Blake ......................................................................1926 76 |i894'I9261 For Thirty'two Tears Pleased Customers have been our Best Advertisement With us, the pleasing of our customers is of first lmpor- tance.
