CAPE CHARLES HIGH SCHOOL IX the years to come when you turn the pages of this 1927 “Arrow”—representing the ef- forts of the staff and the co- operation of the students—may it be a source of joy and hap- piness to you, and may it bring you back to those scenes and associations which made the Cape Charles High School days the happiest of days. mm m mmm ™E arrow mmmmmm TO MR. AUBREY WILLIAMS to whose unflagging interest, and loyal co- operation, as student, teacher, alumni presi- dent, and board member, is largely due what- ever success Cape Charles High School has attained, the “Arrow” is dedicated in all reverence and gratitude. 1 Page Live THE ARROW SCHOOL HOARD D.

If her school life is signi- ficant of her “worldly life,’’ suc- cess will mark it.

Than great and cast a shadow.” “The reason firm, tlie temperate will, endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” All of this might be said of Mildred and still leave room for a great deal more. She is an excellent student, a deep thinker, and best of all. a real friend. She is the same first, last and always. Good luck, Millv. lietlia Ileath Rea” Social Editor of Arrow, ’27: Member of Raven Club, ’26-’27; Member of Glee Club, ’24-’2S. ‘‘A classmate honest and true. .

She is a credit to her class, sincere and honest in all things; she never raves—perhaps she has learned that “silence is golden.” John Aid on Brownley “Al” Artist of Arrow, '27; Member of Raven Club, '26- 27; Member of Glee Club, ’24-’25. “He steps forward, not back- ward.” Aldon, like the rest of us, is not the most studious boy in school, but he has certain qualifications which will bring him through wherever he goes. • lie’s a good friend, a ready helper and a real man.

Not a stauncher friend can be found. She attends to her own business only, and although she is very quiet, none of us will ever forget that Virginia was a fellow classmate of ’27.

However, our associations with him have convinced us that he is a fine fellow, always loyal to his class and friends. A long and happy life will undoubtedly be his lot. 1 rage Sixteen m @� @aMsss! the arrow ii ig ®,V :©: S3- :g: (STV . ) � v .

Gladly we watched the roll Of each succeeding year, With never a pang of sorrow, With never a sigh or tear. But now that we’ve made the journey Prom the primary grades through high IVe do not feel all joyous For our paths apart may lie. School days for some have ended, But now it is life we begin With a work to do somewhere in the world And many a battle to win. Some may aspire to be famous, Others towards riches be bent, Let us do our best whatever our task And in doing be well content. Let us be worthy of our school As staid as the stars in heaven; May the highest praises ever be sung Of the class of '27. A.

We organized our class, under the supervision of Miss Jones, our home room teacher, electing as officers: Edwina Coulbourn, President; Lillian Charnock, Vice-President; Joseph William Colcburn, Jr., Secretary; Clarence Haley, Treasurer. At the same time we adopted the Ophelia Rose as our class flower, black and gold, as our color and our motto: “Do noble things, don t dream them. Wc were well represented in athletics, many of our class proving their mettle later on in the years to come. Our class entertained the faculty at the home of Joe Bill Coleburn. Looking back now, we can truly say that this year was well spent, both in the social and scholastic fields. CHAPTER II TIMIDITY AND BEAVEEY September again! The rats and Presides have bloomed into Sophs, organized the class and elected the following officers: Edwina Coul- bourn, President; Willie Travis, Vice-President; Joe Bill Coleburn, Secretary ; Virginia Marchington, Treasurer. Of course bv this time our studies had become less strenuous, lagging time moved swiftly, the most difficult lesson proved a pleasure, our desire for knowledge was more easily satisfied and we. ourselves, were ready to enter into anything assured that we could succeed. Our social activities, this year, centered around a party given to the faculty at the home of Vir- ginia High. This was apparently very enjoyable as we stayed late and ate all the refreshments. Our athletics were still prominent. Page Nineteen the arrow SB «-V ©: t?5� K «ViW CHAPTER III GETTING INTO DEEPER WATERS The fall of 1925 called 11s together to start our Junior year, after a most enjoyable vacation. This year we organized our class and elected the following officers: Edwina Coulbourn, President; Catharine Beatty, Vice-President; Willie Travis, Secretary; Clarence Haley, Treasurer. In January we entertained the Seniors and faculty at the club, an elaborate affair, according to our notion. In February, we fluttered into the dramatic arena and showed the public just how well girls could navigate if they had Lost—A Chaperone.” According to custom, we gave the usual banquet to the Seniors and faculty, at the close of school. Thus ends our Junior year—one that we will never forget. CHAPTER IV LAST LAPSE At last we have attained our ambition and have had the dignity of seniority placed upon us to our honor. It isn’t so very different after all, for we find that what we thought to be Senior privileges proved mainly Senior responsibilities. Our officers for this year are: Cath- arine Beatty, President; Russell Thompson, Vice-President; Edwina Coulbourn, Treasurer; Virginia Marchington, Secretary. Thanks- giving the Juniors entertained us at the home of Rosa Sacks. In re- taliation we gave the Juniors a party on Washington’s birthday. Our class was well represented in the athletic fields and took many honors. About this time we drove hard toward our goal to reflect the credit on Miss Sarah that was due her, and “to prove to Prex that some his- tory had soaked in,” truly recognizing the fact that we were on our last lap of our journey in the school life of Cape Charles High School. Commencement found us not only prepared to receive our diplomas, but eager to go forth into the new life that promises such glorious op- portunities. Long live the High School and our hats off to all the members of this institution. May it ever prosper, is our dearest wish, for we will never think of it without appreciating our teachers and pleasant memories of the joys that were ours w'hile wre were students in those halls. V. M. H. ’27. m T:: ; • i Page Twenty mmmmmm® the arrow Class Prophecy . MADAME WEI LITZSKA Greatest Seeress hi The World Any Questions Answered And Future Foretold By The Aid of Her Mystic Globe. YES, that was the sign, I read it twice to be sure. I had never believed that any certain person held a peculiar foresight into our future life. But, I reasoned with myself, “What’s wrong with just seeing what she will prophecy my life to be and what she will answer to my questions. With these thoughts in mind, I walked into the door over which the sign was hanging. The house was a small black structure, which. 1 thought, could certainly not be able to boast of any unnecessary room. A very small anteroom greeted me when I entered, at the farthest end of which stood an impassive Chindse ser- vant. who received the fees. I paid him, and as he drew the silken curtains which seemed to separate this small room from another larger room, 1 walked in what seemed to he the main room in the house. In the center of this room, fantastically decorated with milt-covered scarfs and Spanish shawls, was a peculiarly carved, oblong table, in the center of which rested a large, opaque, white globe. Looking into the globe, was an extremely foreign looking woman, who appeared to be about middle-aged, and whom I knew must be Madame. She gave me a curt nod, and beckoned me to a chair, which was situated directly opposite her. facing the peculiar white globe. Responding to her inquiry as to what questions I wanted answered, I asked her to show me what my future life would be. She instructed me to watch the magic globe, and then seemed to com- pletely forget my presence. She began to mumble strange chantings, and to wave her draped arms rhythmically back and forth. The globe began to glow with a strange fire, and soon I could perceive in its seemingly bottomless depths, the figure of a magnificent school building. Upon watching, the figure became more distinct, and I was able to perceive three figures coming out of its massive door. As the picture became still more distinct, with a shock. I recognized those three figures. It was Catharine, Virginia Hughes, and myself, changed, but yet the same. Wondering, I asked Madame for an explanation. She explained to me that at some near time in the future, we three, “The Immortal Three, as we had laughingly called ourselves in school days, would organize an exclusive girls’ col- lege, which would be noted for its high standards and improved methods of edu- mi 1’age Twenty-one the arrow m®. m w fe l m © I £ ? © p i IS IP cation. Completely charmed at this, I begged for more information concerning my other classmates. “Very well.” she answered, and once more bade me watch the crystal globe. Soon 1 saw what appeared to be a large social gathering in a luxuriantly furnished mansion. Shaded lights everywhere, beautiful decorations, polished floors, guests in evening gowns, all the necessities for a great social event. I wondered why the hostess receiving her guests so graciously, looked so familiar and upon observing the globe more closely. I recognized Edwina. who in school days was always ready for any social event. Near her, seated at the piano, was one whom I knew at once, Virginia Marchington, and seated at her right was her husband, a famous saxophon- ist. I learned from Madame that they had just completed a successful concert tour of Europe. Then slowly, but surely, the scene faded, until not even the glimmer of a light could be seen. Into the mystic depths appeared the interior of a large hospital with its cold, white walls, and long corridors. From the prepara- tions in progress, I realized some dangerous and difficult operation was about to be performed. The scene changed to an operating room. There was the inert body of the patient on the operating table. Then my attention was drawn to the surgeon, about to operate, and I discovered it was Russell, remembering his ambi- tion in high school to be a successful surgeon. But who were these two gentle, capable nurses, standing bv the table, performing their duties so skillfully? None other than Virginia High and Retha, doing their bit to help suffering humanity. I knew the operation was a great success, because of the joy reflected in the faces of those in the operating room. Once more, the painted scene grew less distinct, and finally faded, leaving the ball seemingly vacant. Another picture was painted, I seemed to see the inside of a large office building in New York. Seated at the desk, giving dictation was—my! it was Arthur Dix, now a successful lawyer. No wonder, I thought, with his superb powers of arguing at school. But who was his secretary, whom, I could see at a glance, was very efficient? It was Mildred, now a secretary with no little merit, and who was in great demand. Once again the scene was changed. I seemed to see the outline of a large studio, with its easels and canvases. And standing, drawing the lines of a figure. I recognized Aklon, whose artistic merit had made him famous at school. Once again the scene was erased by an invisible hand, and the ball became a colorless round globe. Greatly impressed, I arose, and after a barely perceptible nod of dismissal from Madame, J wended my way out of the little house, wondering at this strange thing we call life. The foregoing things may l e only dreams, yet who knows but what they might come true? Since it is not given to human beings to delve into the future, and wisely so, we can only surrender our lives into the hands of the Superior Being, who is Master of us all. V. L.

These two counties together formed whr.t was known to the first English Colonists as “Ye Anticnt Kingdome of Accawmake.” The discovery of the Eastern Shore was the result of a search by a sailor of fortune, Gio- vanni dc Vcrrazano, for a northwestern passage to Cathay. He landed on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, about ten miles north of Cape Charles, and thus has the honor of being the first known white man to set foot upon this soil. Captain John Smith, with a hand of men, visited the shore during his explorations of the lands and waters surrounding Jamestown, and he was no doubt thinking of the “Little Kingdom” when he wrote, “Heaven and earth seem never to have agreed better to have framed a place for man’s commodious and delightful habitation.” The Indians on the Eastern Shore were not of the warlike tribes so often found by the settlers in America, but were kind and friendly to the white men when they came. Thus the number of colonists was not lessened by Indian massacres, and the shore developed rapidly. The settlers soon founded a church and court, and it is worthy of note that the first pages of the Accomack Court records are not filled with grotesque decrees. These records are, with the possible exception of the Plymouth records, the oldest in America. They abound with legal curiosities. The court was strict and administered justice with a keen sense of harmony between the offense and the penalty. The cases throw a light on the character of the people of the time. One of the cases was worded: 'Ttt is thought fitt and soe ordered by this Cort that John Parramore for his unlawful swearing in a contemptuous manner in the fface of Cort shall set by the heeles in the stockes for the space of one complet hourc,” and on June 9th, 1638. it was “Ordered that John Parra- more shall set by the heeles in the stockes att the tyme ofe Devyne Serviss upon the next Saboth daye ffor being drunke in the fface of the Cort.” Another: “At this Cort Edward Drew preferred a petition against Joanc Butler for calling his wife bad names, and upon due examination and the depositions of John Holloway and William Baseley, who affirmith the same on oath to be true, that the sryd Joane Butler used bad words, upon due examination it is thought fitt by this Board, that sayd Joane Butler doe ackoro- ledge to have called Marie Drew names, and (say) hereby 1 confess I have done her manifest wronge, wherefore I desire before this Congregation, that the said Marie Drew will forgive me, and also that this Congregation will joyne and pray with me that God may forgive me.” The penalty provided by the Cort in case Joane should fail to retract her rash statements as directed was that she should be “drawne across King’s Creek, at the st: rue of a canew.” She evidently preferred the latter punishment, for at the very next court. Thomas Butler, the husband of Joane, caused Marie Drew’s arrest, and upon trial the same sentence was meted out, “or else she was to undergo the same punishment which Joane Butler suffered.” si si SI at Page l'ifty-four THE ARROW gjgj: C?l -© £8 i © a i a «rv ! ■■■-.A 3 se In another case Robert Wyard, who had stolen a pair of pantaloons, was sentenced to ap- pear in church for three successive Sundays with a pair of breeches tied around his neck, and the word “Thief” written upon his hack. Justices fitted the punishment to the crime in the “good ole days.” The name “Kingdome of Accowmi.ke was later changed to “Northampton Countie.” The pioneers of this county were, without exception, sprung from a sturdy English stock, and owing to nearly three centuries of isolation, the population of the Eastern Shore remains more purely English in origin than that of any other part of the world, except England itself. The first mention of the name of Washington in any American records appears in those of Northampton when Jacob Washington was granted “an execution upon the goods, and chattels of John Forbush.” The name of John Custis first appears on the Eastern Shore in 1640. He was born in Gloucester County, England, but moved to Rotterdam. During a visit to Rotterdam, Argoll Yeardley, a Virginian, married Ann Custis and induced John and Joane, her parents, to return to Virginia with him. John Custis, the son of the. immigrant, was an enterprising man, and was foremost in all civil and ecclesiastical matters. He was a favorite of Lord Arlington, and named his estate on old Plantation Creek “Arlington” in honor of his patron. In all there were five John Custises, the last being the first husband of Martha Dandridgc, who afterwards married George Washington. There are many queer tales told about John Custis. the fourth of the name, who inherited “Arlington,” after which the Polomic estate was named. This John Custis married Frances Parke, a lady of much determination, and her alliance with the eccentric Mr. Custis seems to have been a very unhappy one. For weeks they would not speak to each other, all communi- cation between them being carried on through the servants. For instance, Mrs. Custis would sr.y to the butler: “Pompy. ask your master if he will have coffee or tea. and sugar and cream,” and to the servant's question M r. Custis would reply: “Tell your mistress that I will have coffee as usual, with no cream.” Mr. Custis survived his wife seven years. Whether her memory was held in great affec- tion by him may be determined from the inscription which he ordered to be put on his tomb- stone. It was as follows: “Beneath this marble tomb lies ye body of the Honerable John Custis, Esq., of the City of Williamsburg and Parish of Bruton. Formerly of Hungar’s Parish on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and the County of Northampton, the place of his nativity, aged 71 years, and yet lived but seven years, which was the space of time he kept a bachelor’s house at Arlington on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This information put on this tomb was by his own posi- tive order.” When Charles the second was driven from England, m: ny of the Eastern Shoremen remain- ed true to him, but the signature of one hundred and sixteen people of Northampton were se- cured to the following document: “The Engagem’t tendered to ye inhabitants of Northempton Countie, Eleventh of March, 1615 (O. S.) “Wee whose names are subscribed; doe hereby Engage and promise to bee true and faith- ful to the Commonwealth of England as it is now Established without Kinge or House of Lords.” it m a a : : A rV- a m. Page Fifty-five m THE ARROW In 1647. when the order to return Burgesses was issued by the Governor, no call for repre- sentatives was made from Northampton County. Yet a tax was levied upon the Eastern Shoremen, of which they complained bitterly. From Northampton came one of the first pro- tests against taxation without representation. It was as follows: The XXXth of March. Ano. 1652. ' � Wee whose names are undwritten this day made choyce of by the Inhabitants of Northamp- ton Countie in Virginia to give informacons and Instruccons to ye gent Ellectcd Burgesses for this prsent Grand Assemblie (in relacon to such matters as conduce to our peace and Saftie) and for ye Redresse of those aggreevanccs wch (at prsent) wee are capable and sensible of in our Countie of Northampton. “Imprmis. Wee the Inhabitants of Northampton Countie doe complyve that from tyme to tyme (pticular yeares past) wee have been submitted and bine obedient unto the paymt of publeq Taxacons. Butt after ye yeare 1647, since yt tyme we concieve and have found that ye taxes were very weightie. But in a more especiall manner (under favor) we are very sensible of the Taxacons of fforty sixe pounds of tobacco p. poll (this prsent yeare). And desire yt ye same bee taken off ye charge of ye countie: furthermore we alledge that after 1647, wee did understand and suppose or Countie or Northampton to be disioynted and seques- tered from ye rest of Virginia. Therefore that IJawe wch requireth and inioyneth Taxacons from us to bee arbitrarye and illcgall; fforasmuch as wee had neither summons for Ellecon of Burgesses nor voyce in their assemblye (during the time aforsd) but only the singlur Bur- gess in September. Ano. 1651. Wee concieve that wee may lawfullie ptest agt. the pceedings in the act of Assemblie for publiq Taxacons wch have relacon to Northampton Countie since ye year 1647. , “The Gent who are (att prsent) to speak in our bchalfe can sufficiently declare what is necessary to be expressed to this effect wch wee refer to them. Our desire is that there may be an annual choyce of magistrates in Northampton. And if our Countie may not have ye privilege of a peculir govermt and propriety (att present) granted wth in our prcinct that then you Request and plead that all causes, suite of Tryalls (of what nature soevr) may bee concerned (for future tyme) determined in our sd Countie of Northampton. If there bee a free and gent all vote for a Governor wherein they shall Ellect Mr. Richard Bennett. Wee the Inhabitants of Northampton wth unanimous consent and plenary appro- bacon rendr our voyce for the sd Esq. Bennett. The people doe further desire that ye Taxacons for forty sixe pounds of tobac a heead maye not bee collected by the sheriffs (until ansrw of the questions from the Grand Assemblie nowe summoned). “Witness our hands subscribed the day and yeare aforsd.” About 1663 the Eastern Shore was divided into two Counties, Northampton and Accomack and both sent members to the House of Burgesses. There is no definite and specific record of formation of Accomack, merely the mention of representatives from two separate and dis- tinct counties in the list of Burgesses. The people of Accomack formed an independent Court, and this was resented greatly by the older Northampton Court, but finally the new jurisdiction of Accomack was firmly established, Page Fifty-six THE AKHOU and the justices held court in Pungoteague in the tavern of John Cole. The first Church built on the Eastern Shore was a tiny rough building on Old Plantation Creek. The second church was the Magothy Bay Church and the next that was built was Hungar’s Church. All of these Churches were in Northampton. The fourth church on the peninsula was St. George’s of Pungoteague. This was called the “Ace of Clubs Church” on account of its peculiar shape, there being three almost equal wings with interior angles rounded. As early as 1632 the Eastern Shore was considered a very healthful region. The death rate was so small and the age to which many of the inhabitants lived was so great that an early writer said: “People on the Eastern Shore do not die, but dry up and blow away.” A funeral at this time was a great occasion. Barbecues were given and rum liberally dis- pensed by the afflicted family, and a general spree was indulged in at the expense of the estate of the deceased. After the feast had somewhat lessened their sorrow and enlivened the solemn occasion, a barbaric celebration ensued. A great event in the minds of Eastern Shoremen was the arrival of Cout.i Day. The ladies kept out of sight and the gentlemen indulged themselves to the full without restraint. There were races, wrestling, riding and running matches, and a great many other things of this nature. Many were the superstitions and traditions of those days, and some of them still survive. Ope of the earliest and best known traditions was that of the “Bogey of Cradock Marsh.” This bogey, whatever it may be, has been sought by armed hunting parties for several cen- turies. By day and by torchlight its trail of foot-tracks has been followed only to be lost as the wierd cry of “Yahoo! Yahoo!” resounds through the dismal wastes of the marsh to warn the curious of the futility of their quest, and to make the blood of the more timid run cold. Also there is the headless man who for centuries has exacted toll at “Taylor’s Bridge” until stingy travellers refuse to pass that way at night. It is said that he never demands more than four-pence-half-penny, but that those who refuse him invariably come to grief. In such tales can be seen a recurrence of the ancient myths. The ordeal or “test” grew out of the super- stition that upon the murderer touching or coming into the presence of the victim the wounds would bleed afresh. The records of Northampton show that on December 4. 1656, Captain William Whittington issued a warrant for a Jury of Inquest over the body of Paul Rynners. supposed to have been murdered by William Custis. The Jury reported: “We have viewed the body of Paul Rynners, late of this county deceased, and have caused William Custis to touch the face and stroke the body of said Paul Rynners. which he willingly did. But no sign did appear unto us of question in the law.” Accordingly, the accused Mr. Custis was exonerated by the court. Many of the Eastern Shore towns have names which are of Indian derivation. For in- stance : Accomack means “the other side of the water place.” Chincoteague comes from Chinguategwe, meaning “large stream,” or “inlet.” Chesapeake means “people of the great saline water.” Machapunge means “Bad dust from matchi—“bad” and jungo “dust.’ sandy soil.

You and your fond parents, through the years, have consistently bought many of the things you’ve worn from this store—for many of you it has been, and is today, your shopping headquarters. It occurs to us that we could wish you nothing that may be of greater worth as you finish High School and shortly take up college work or enter the affairs of the world along some pathway that you have not be- fore trodden than to hope that you may go forward courageously and with the purpose to serve your day and generation in a sympathetic, friendly and efficient manner, just as this store has striven to do for thirty-three years in its dealings with those who have gone on before you and whom it serves today with increasing vigor and sincerity of purpose.

Hampden-Sidney opened its doors January 1, 1770, and the stu- dents entered the war of the Revolution in a body. From its halls have gone forth a remarkable number of leaders and successful men in every walk of life, and in every profession. It has always adhered to the standards of high scholarship and gentlemanly conduct. It is definitely Christian in its beliefs and outlook. The atmosphere is wholesome for the growing boy! If he is safe anywhere, he is safe here.
