One rung of the ladder we have vwunted. And as we climb steadily upward. We think of the things in life, that are counted. Though sometimes xve have lost heart and faltered. We ' ve tried to follow close the road, And tehen xve felt ourselves slipping . We asked the Maker to lighten our load. True sometimes toil seemed, naught but faihire And right too oft gave way to xorong. Hut at last we have found and have conquered, And can travel life ' s steep path with a song. So with praises we hid you farewell, Alma Mater, And with hearts full of gratitude we relate The trials and triumphs of each pupil of the class of ’ 28 . D. T., ’ 28 . Page twenty-one CLA8S HISTOMY S EPTEMBER 15j 192 twenty-two newly born rats made their appearance in Cape Charles High School very meek and gentloj not a tooth sliowdngj all dressed in their best: Why? Because we had started on the first lap of the race for higher learning. However it was not long before w ' e took courage and began to gnaw our way into progress. Miss Jones helped to organize our class and we elected Redwood Nottinghanij president, Julia Wilkins, vice-president, and Eliza¬ beth Wilson, secretary and trea.surer. We hnall} chose as our motto and the Sweet Heart rose as the class flower. Blue and gold were scdccted as our colors. But alas I One day we found that the holes wdiich we had nibbled into progress were filled with ' rougli-on-rats. We were initiated, yet we lialtcd not, I can tell you we were the funnie.st looking nest of rats ever seen in Cape Charles High School, On Hallowce ' n we had a party at the liome of Virignia Hallett, Needless to say there never vas such a Mmnderful party, Tlie end of the first lap rose into view and w e were very happ} ' because the dignity of full grown rat-liood was just beyond the turn in the road. The second lap is in sight and seventeen full grown rats, or to be more dignified as our station demands, Sophomores, entered the halls of learning once more, truly determined to make for the very young rats as wmrm a reception as we had received a year before. We did! The class reorganization was the first important business. Josephine Sterling was elected president, Rlizabetli Wilson, vice-president, Red¬ wood Nottingham, secretary, and Leonard Richardson, treasurer. As our Freshman narti? ' had been so successful we w ere inspired to liave another, this time at the home of Julia Wilkins, whicli party proved to be as delightful as the first. We wanted to have a play this year but the snobbish upper classmen informed us that we were too young. The second lap is run. September, 1926, we lia e started the third lap of our race, thrilled because we have one more to run. Our officers for the Junior year were Julia Wilkins, presi¬ dent, Redwood Nottingliam, vice-president, and Sal lie Bishop Jones, secretary and treasurer. We gave our heroes, the Seniors, a party at the liome of Rosa Sacks and were later entertained by them. Under the eye of Miss Sarah we made our debut into dramatic art with the presentation of ' ‘And Billy Disappeared. ' The year ended with a wdiirl of social activities and hard work for we gave our Imloved ones a real banquet. Again we entered the dear old brick building as dignified Seniors, not so glad as we thought we would be now that we really are on the last lap of the run. We elected Sallie Bishop Jones, president, Redwmod Nottingliam, vice-president, and Julia Wilkins, treasurer. We %vere entertained by the Juniors. We presented our second play ' ' The Charm School,” with the help of our home room teacher, Miss Sarah, Commencement, we hope, will find us prepared, if not wulling to receive our diplomas. With that the run is over; the rats have gnawed through to the outside world. We are able to look through the last four years, as the happiest of our young lives—thank.s to our beloved teachers. May they ever be happy and pros¬ perous, and the dear old school continue to shower her pupils witli the highest ideals of life, and success, and service, wdiich she has rained upon the class of 28 ! With a heart full of love we bid her adieu! M. E. C. 28. Page Iwciity-tu o CLASS PMOPHECY I T was a cool Febniary evening when I idly sat at my window watching the deep¬ ening twilight, I was physically and mentally wearied over a problem which had confronted me many hours. This problem was none other than the prophecy of my ciassniates. I left the window forgetful of nature ' s beauties and of everything but tlve prob¬ lem wdiich I had to deal w’lth. Despondency had seized and held me close in her embrace. Mechanically; I w ' alked to ray library and taking the first volume in reach which happened to be Bunyan ' s ‘‘Pilgrim ' s Progress ' I opened it and began to read. Soon I forgot my own difficulties in following poor Christian in his weary w ander- ing to the foot of the cross. In a short time nature began to assert herself; my brain grew listless; a mist hung oi er my drooping eyelids; iiU sounds grew fainter and faintei ; my head sank loW; and was pillowed on the pages of the open book. Mor¬ pheus had claimed me for his own. I do not know liow long I had remained in this position when I felt a strange sensation come over me. I thought that I was Christian. Upon my shoulders rested a great burden which almost bore me down; and yet I had to travel on and on Over liigh rugged moiintainS; through dry hot deserts I pressed until tired and worii; I sank down in the Slough of Despondency- It seemed to me as if I could not go a step farther; and ’ ' ct those dark; muddy waters must be crossed. An un¬ seen presence seemed to urge me on until at last I plunged in to the muddy depths. I finally reached the other shore where I sank down from utter exhaustion. But this untiring presence would not let me rest, I mu.st move on I regained my feet and wearily started on my journey. I had not gone far when the weight which I w as carrying seemed to he lightened The burden which I had carried on ray shoulders fell to the earth; 1 w’as free! Yes, there at my feet lay the burden which I had long carried; but what had dropped from itr A white scroll. Unlike th true Chri.stian wlio had been burdened by his sins, the burden which 1 had carried wms the prophecy of the class of 1928 The scroll slowdy opened and in letters of gold; I read: Aline Spencer; private secretary to the president of a big business firm in Phila¬ delphia, Eosa Sacks, still wmrking in her father ' s office but taking a little trip to Washing¬ ton every week-end. Julia WilkinSj teaching French in a prominent college, Francis Carraean; one of the wmrld ' s greatest prima donnas. AtMV.

Sallie Bishop Jones now teaching domestic science in one of our large city schools It is tliought liowever she will soon put some of her knowledge of domestic affairs in a home of her own, Elizabeth Wilson still teaching English and lecturing against the use of slang Eedwood Nottingham a prominent political leader expecting to get to the House of Representatives as a representative from Virginia. Clarence Haley a great criminal lawyer, Leonard Richardson, a photographer in Washington. He owes much of his suc¬ cess to his 1928 school days when he took the school pictures for the J. W, ColeburUj Jr , now leading an orchestra in a large opera liouse in New York Willis Wood, a district superintendent of the D, P, Stores. John Burbage, one of the world ' s greatest basket ball players, Willie Travis, at this time leading an orchestra in Newport News, accompanied by an unknown ' “Blonde.” George Belote, after breaking all previoas records in Athletics at V P. I is now a world renowned Civil engineer Last but not least comes our real Language .student of C, C. H. S , William Piisey, a Government Interpreter in London, William wms a real good student in languages wdiieh probably accounts for his ambition to sail to foreign countries, where he will be associated with people of different languages. So now clas.smates should your fates he otherwise than you desire, or should the future that I predict be incorrect, blame not me; for it is as it was Avritten in he white scroll.

The seventh grade is made up of a group of thirty students who believe that when a problem is once begun it should be mastered. They have shown just this spirit in all the problems they have under¬ taken this session. Early in the year the honor system was decided to be tlie ideal system and has been worked rather successfully under the directors of their own honor council. Thus have they mounted another round on the ladder of success. The remaining numbei’ of this group is claimed by the sixth grade. These students have a real school spirit and are always ready to lend a helping hand in any kind of work. The class was organized under the leadership of Mrs. Willis and they have given many interesting and entertaining programs. The students of this Junior Department are enthusiastic, earnest workers and would be a credit to any high school.

The purpose of the Honor System is to instill in the pupils fair play and honesty toward one another. No serious problem of discipline has come before the Council this year and we feel that the Honor System is becoming a constructive ratber than a penalizing force in Cape Charles High School. W. B.

We are looking forward to their games this season as we feel sure they will be successful under Miss Outten ' s leadership. Page fifty-one T he people of Cape Charles enjoyed two evenings of excellent comedies, October loth and ]( th at the High School Auditorium when the girls gathered from far and near in order to get themselves husbands, and lield a meeting known as “THE SPINSTERS CONVENTION.” After their successful man hunt in the far north, the blushing brides returned to tell of their luck in a meeting known as ”THE SPINSTERS RETURN.” Music was furnished by Miss Mabel Travis orchestra. The plays were very successful as well as amusing. The proceeds $68.00 were turned over to the Athletic Association. The Senior Class presented a play entitled “THE CPI ARM SCPIOOL” Decem¬ ber 16th. The hero, Austin Bevans, inherits a girls’ boarding school and goes at once “to live and die as the successful principal” of the Fairview School for Girls. He visits the school and on account of his extraordinary good looks all the girls fall in Io% ' e with him at once. Flis problems of dealing with the pupils afforded much amusement to those who were fortunate enough to see this delightful performance. The next drama presented at our school was a “Wlieeler Play” entitled “JANE” presented November 8, 9, 10. Jane, the college president’s daughter, beloved by everyone, w as the most popular girl on the campus. She had all the boys in love witii her when along came a new conquest, Billy Atwood, a football star enroute to a rival college. By mistake he stopped at Burlington, the college which wanted him on the football team and which laid plans to have him fall in love with Jane. The strategy exercised in keeping Billy from entering the rival school kept the audience keyed with excitement until the final touchdown when Billy won both the game and Jane. “THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH” a true American comedy by the Dramatist’s Theatre, Inc. w’as given on January 16. The plot is laid in a small Western city, twin brother and sister, wdio are fundoving and frolicking, under-graduates are pampered and spoiled by their parents. An older son, also dependent on the family’s love and kindness, plans an early marriage. Finally there comes the sliow- dowm; the father’s position gone; no money; careers vanished. The plans of the twins to come to the rescue lend spice and fun to the play which conies to a delightful ending. The .school made $69.00 from this play which will go into what w e call the High School fund. The school and several of the mothers enjoyed tw ' o plays on February 21st given by the Freshman class, Oh Teachers” and “Proposing in Grand Ma’s day.” Both w ere full of pep and spice, and the songs were very amusingj( They received $25.00 from the sale of the tickets.

Page fifty-tbree T WAS in the delightful year 1524 that Giovanni de Verraiixo with twenty coin- panionSj the first white men to set foot upon tlie peninsula called Accawmackj the Land Beyond the Water visited this country of mild climate and generous soiL At the first sight of wdiite men_, tlie natives fied into the deep dark forbidding forests with which nature had covered tlie land. Nevertheless Verranzo and his associates determined to explore the woods and if possible to find any large bodies of water on which they might proceed in their search for a Nortliwest passage to Cathay, They had searched without mishap for several hours wdien Stephen Hill one of the more timid men, heard on out-of-the ordinary rustling of the leaves in a thick bush about fifteen yards to one side. At once thinking it was a native in hidings he shot in that direction but hearing no further noise proceeded deeper into the forest. JV andah Richard Kendall awoke from the deep sleep of fever and delirium to gaze through the thickening gloom of pine trees at dusk. The w ondering youth started to arise from his soft bed of dark green moss only to fall back again wracked with pain, A tall slender form noiselessly glided to his side and with cool slender fingers stroked his burning forehead. He closed his eyes under the soothing effect and w as soon settled in a sleep troubled sometimes by horrible dreams. The next morning Richard ' s eyes slowly opened on a bright sunny world quite different from that of which he had dreamed. Looking around he found himself lying on the ground in a small clearing with a few bushes and a bubbling spring to drive away the bareness of a little home. Suddenly from behind him appeared an Indian maiden very tall and slender ol statue, and most beautiful of face. Quietly, never uttering a w ord, she nursed and defended him from the few roving wolves and wild cats winch dared draw near. Kendall would lie on his mossy bed gazing hour after hour at the graceful form gliding softly about him mixing herbs at the little spring or rinsing a few garments. For long periods at a time she would disappear entirely. At these times the maiden returned to the village of her owm people the Accawmaks wiiere her father Okiawanpse, the Lanphing King, ruled. The Moon Flower, as she was called by her tribe, kept her wherc-abouts and doings a half mystery to her inquisitive old grand-mother. For the maiden knew the old w ' oman held a bitter enmity to white men because Verranzo the explorer liad taken Moon Flower ' s little eight year old brother awaj from his people to exhibit to the people of London as a Strange specimen from this stranger land, ' ' A deep and beautiful love was slowdy dawning in the soul of this quiet patient nurse until the heart of the Indian maid was lighter than the feathers of the humming-bird, and her breath sweeter than the wild honeysuckle. Under her care the stalwart youth gained strength until one day everything was changed. Even in the depths of the forest the green eyed monster kept its cruel vigil, Alowah When the rays of the crimson gold sun, slowly descending to the far horizon, shone through the tall pines, and fell at their feet, the man and the maid, deep in Page fifty-five reverie were Htartled hy a hoarse gutterjil voice from hehincl them. Springing to their feet they beheld a tall straight Indian. The expanded chesty full formed limbs and grave countenance of tlie warrior showed that lie had reached the vigor of Ins daySj though no symptoms of decay appeared to lia’ x yet weakened his manhood. The darkj glaneingj fearless eye alike terrible and calm sent terror to the heart of the maiden for she knew this was Debedeavon, the WerowancCj who desired her for his sqiiaw The Moon Flower heir to tier father ' s throne was mueh to be de¬ sired for whoever married her %voiild rule the kingdom of Accawmacke at the deatli of King Okiamape, Debedeavon roughly grabbed the Moon Flower by the arm and started to drag her after him into the forest when Kendall fle v into action exerting his newly restored strength to the utmost. But the Indian was his superior in the fierce struggle which followed and wmuld have killed the white lover of the beautiful princess had she not in desperation stabbed the angry brave in the back with her own knife. Again the white man ow ' ed his life to the Indian maid. When the Moon Flower returned to her tribe .she learned that the w arriors were planning an attack on the Indians w ' ho lived a little farther north. She told her father of Kendall how he would be a wise one to lielp plan the attack and how he could tell them the methods of making and using ne ' w weapons of war. The beautiful daughter wms so insistent and convincing in her pleas that her father gladly w el- comed the wdiite man to Iiis kingdom. A terrible war followed in wdiich Okiawampe W ' as mortally wounded. Richard Kendall had acted so bravely and proved such a help that the king on the eve of his deaths insisted that the Moon Flower should wed her lover even thought a white man should then be imler of the kingdom. As was the custom among the Indian.s the prospective bride-groom fasted in solitude deep in the w oods for five days and nights. Ills Moon Flower had pre¬ pared a comfortable bed of pine cones and moss near by a spring of clear cool water. The first day of his Feast on Meditations wms spent by Kendall in deep tlioiiglit. For the fir.st time he realized what a serious business lay before liini. He thought of all the dangers that would assail him. Suppose the ambitious men of the tribe would not accept him as chief. It would be a good deal easier and mucli less perilous to aspire to a more lowdy position. Finally conquered by sleep Kendall dreamed of nothing but water water, oceans after oceans of water. Awakened next morning by the rising sun and twittering birds, his first thonglits were of that ques¬ tion. Should he give up his freedom, return, and marry the woman of another color? Richard was sore-perplexed and tried to obtain a dear picture of the future. As night again settled over the land, his problem w as still unsolved. But in his sleep the troubled youth saw a beautiful Indian maiden bending over him administering to his needs. In her star-like eyes the lover read the answer of his riddle. Upon awakening the third morning, happy at having an idea of wliat the future wmiild bring him and weak as he was because of the lack of nourislvment, Kendall was content to lie at ease on his bed staring into the heavens through the tree tops. In due time the tribe celebrated a most happy wxdding feast wdth man 5 fire dances and ther performances such as w ere suitable. They grew ' to love the hus¬ band of their princess and honored and obeyed him till the sun of his life had set, E. U. W. ' 28. l ' ygo fiity-Kix THE INDIAN OF THE EASTEMN SHOKE W HEN the first perraanent settlement was made in this country in 1607 there were about forty principal tribes of Indians in M ' hat is now the state of Virginia. Of these the most noted and most powerful were the Powhatans Mannalioacs and tlie Monacans, The Powhatans, the central link of the great family of friendly Indians lived between the coast and the first falls of the rivers, Tlie Mannahoacs lived at the lieadwaters of tlie Potomac and the Eappahannoc rivers and were friends of the Monacans who lived on the upper parts of the James river. These two tribes together waged continual strife against the Powhatans. The different tribes spoke such radically different dialects, that any discourse be¬ tween them was impossible without an interpreter Besides the above three named tribes there Avere also the Nottoways living along the banks of the Nottoway river. Contrary to the common supposition, (according to Thomas Jefferson) the lands in Virgmia were not taken by conquest, but by purchase Beyond the mountains ’were the po%verful Massawomecs, who continually harrassed the Powhatans and Manalioacs These tribes, of which a separate record has been found, were probably the ancestors of the six Nations. At the time of Thomas Jefferson there were not more than ten or tAvelve Pamimkey men left living on about three hundred acres of very fertile land on the Pamunkey river The first settlers on the Eestern shore of Virginia knew the Indians as the Ac- cawmacs The} were a very friendly tribe and had for tlieir chief ‘The Laughing King of Accawmac,” whose Indian name was Debedeavon John Smith landed at Cape Charles in 1608 and was met by Kiptopeake, the brother of the ' Jaughing king.” According to Smith ' s History of Virginia, the Accaw macs could muster only about forty w avriors, which ho vever were not needed, since throughout the early period of settlement the Indians were the staunch friends of the Settlers, sharing their corn and their very fertile lands with their white brother from Europe. Another cause of comparative peace was the fact that the bay was too rough to be cro.ssed by an enemy in the frail bark canoes of the day Yet it is probable that at some time Powhatan had invaded the Eastern Shore, because, though not related by blood the Accommacks were very friendly to tlie Powhatans and w hile ' Xaiighing King” was the ruler here, Pow hatan was accepted as a sort of overlord The Accawmacs, in their isolated country, were troubled by very few cares. Life was not one long struggle for existence, from invading tribes. This little kingdom was calm and peaceful and the villages somewdiat permanent because there w as no large area over which to rove, hunt, and fight Nature, too, was kind to the Red man here for the mild climate and the rich soil of tlie Accawmac kingdom, yielded great amounts of grain and tobacco witli very little work. What if the crops should fail. They did not have to take food from a neighbor by a foraging expedition. The coast was lined wdtli oyster rocks and clam banks; every marshy shore and island w ere alive with wild fowl all the year around. When the geese left, the curlew came with its shrill cry, while ducks of all kinds flocked along the seaside marshes during the winter, and in the early spring when they left, the willet, plover, and snipe, furni.shed man with unlimited food Great shoals of fish P j i —4f7 1 ini passed in and out along the shores and creeks;, into the nets of the natives There were many kinds of terrapins and the nearby waters abounded with shrimp. Also deer and bear came down from the nortiij and untold quantities of ottOj mink, opossum eoon;, and man ' otlier animals supplied food clothing and shelter. When the e ening came the campfire was built and lighted. There were two ways of lighting a campfire one to strike two hard rocks together until a spark falling on tinder was blown into a flamej another to rub tw o pieces of wood to¬ gether on a flat hoard with a notched depression near the edge called the anvil the other a long round stick called the spindle The spindle was twirled between the hands; this Ijowxver was very hard. Some ingenious Indian then devised a “thundcrbird ' a small piece of W ' ood to fit the hand. This had a hole in it to accomodate the upper end of the spindle which was twirled by a bow and leather thong w ' rapped once around it A spark vas made in the notch in the “anvil ' which w ' as placed in the tinder and blowm into a fiame. The evening campfire was used in many ways; for heatj lights for warding off e%ul spirits for keeping away animal enemies to cook and also as a general gathering place. The old men sat nearest the fire, behind them the young men and the warriors, and standing in the rear the wmnien and the children. One of the eliief sources of amusement vas the telling of stories. Men told stories of their past adventures. Very often they were so exaggerated that even to the fanciful mind of the Indian they .seemed im¬ possible The medicine man was then called. He filled one of his many magic pipesj and impressed it on the minds of the superstitious Indians that if the author of the story would siooke and had exaggerated he would die The braves feared tliis kind of death and the story teller would refuse the pipe if the story w as not true. Thus the falsehood of the story was revealed. Two Indians of different triheSj unable to speak the same language carried on a conversation in the sign language. When they met the lone one gave the sign that he was a friend If he wanted food, shelter or water he then signaled to that effect. When prisoners were being carried awaj they might even instruct friends in ambush as their strength of guard There are many hundreds of signs When in 1621 John Pory visited the shore he found the “Laughing King” such a carefree old fellow that he had left the government almo.st entirely in the hands of his brotherj Kictopeake. Debedeavon explained that seeing the people were lietter controlled by his younger hrotherj he volxintarily gave up the government and spent his time hunting. Perhaps after all the king was more lazy than humorous and was a friend to the white only because it w as much easier to be friendly than to fight them Because of the superstition about keeping a secret of their heroes ' nameSj little can be learned of Ohew ampe, whose name frequentl}? apx ears in the county records. It is thought that he was a ruler because his will in the courthouse has left his daughter to rule his people and even though he had been annoyed by the wdiites he encouraged continued friendship by cautioning his daughter to he friendly to them, A further evidence of the desire of the Indian to remain friendly to the whites was showm by an instance when a white hoy and man were killed by some i rowling Indians, The king at once sent a party of warriors with t%vo Indians as an offer¬ ing. The legates also carried large quantities of .skins and roanoke. Colonel (ahedianiOj Robins after hearing the message saidj “God forbid that I should Page fifty-nine tilkc ail Indian for a wliite man ’ The party was tiien ordered to return Iiome, Afraid to return without carrying out the orders of their cliicfj they tarried a few days, Daniel Cugley seeing this accepted tlie pelts and roanoke and put the Indians to w ' ork on his farm This act made Col. Robins angry and Cugley was sent to James to w ' n for trial. HCj however died in vJaiK Some of the ’white men disturbed Indian hunting and a bill ’ vas enacted that ‘noe Englishman shall distorb, molest or act anything ag’st tlie sd Indyan Kinge to hinder liim in his liuntingSj as tliey will ans’vs er the same ' The Cxangaskins had many families scattered over the shore There was near Cape Charles a small band on Magothy Bay believed to have been called Magothas. Their home w ' as on the Edward Fitehet place no v known as Point Pleasant. Another family knowm as the Mattawnes under the king Pomoccomon. Another hand .settled near Nassawadox others were near (Chineottiague) Bay (Machi- pungo) and Onancock Creek and Wa eh a p re ague (You have probably w ' ondered ’what roanoke or rawmenoke is. It ivas made of shells and was extensivel} ' used by tlie natives for currency on both Eastern and Western shores The chief medium of exchange with the whites w ' as beaver skins. Though there w ere great supplies in nature for these poor people tliey were too lazy to take advantage of it. And soon the more thrifty whites had control of all. By 1650 the Northampton Indians had .separated from the more warlike Auawmoes. It w as estimated that there w ere at this time two thousand Indians on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 1667 a sailor wdio had .smallpox escaped from the “pest house and w andered among the Indians innoculating them. The disease spread rapidly killing many. And the Indians thought that the ’white people had sent the sailor to kill them Though man} of the (seaside) Indians w ere lazy and shiftless others raised large supplies of grain and when the western counties were starving they sold grain to feed them. Their methods ’were much better than the agrieiiltural methods of most native.s. They tilled the soil better and laid up large supplies of grain in case of an emergency. No doubt because of the peaceable way in wdiich they lived and their more or less permanent liomes they could safely raise and keep large supplies ’Without the fear of an invader taking all they had Thus on through the years the natives played a lo.sing game. Steadily their numbers decreasedj the superior foresightj modes of living, and controlled efforts of the White man supplanted the crude w ays of the Red man and ’ hile today he lives among us only in the geographical names of the peninsula, his kindness and hospitality to our forefathers, we o’v e him a debt of thanks. This “Land beyond the Waters, free from famine, disease and war is truly a “Promised I.and. All honor to those who made it an hospitable refuge for the pioneers May posterity cherish the memory of the “Indian of the Eastern Shore. C L R. 28 Page sixty He looked at her with admiration.

S. “Charlie My Boy” sends greetings to “Sweet Little You” and says he “Wonders What’s Become of Sally.” Page sixty-four THE YOUNG BMAYES Presidents of the Student Council Herbert Stevenson . _ 1925 James Powell .. ____1926 Russell Thompson _ 1927 George Belote _ .1928 Basket Ball Captains Ammon Riirtley _ 1919 Albert Richardson _ 1920 Raymond Grimmer _ 1923 Walter Blake . 1926 Russell Thompson -. ____1927 John Burbage _ .1928 Baseball Captains C1 arence Fitch ett _ 1919 Clarence Fitehett . 1920 Arthur Page Disharoon „__1921 Arthur Page Disharoon ...__1922 Arthur Page Disharoon ...J923 Earl Marshall _ 1924 TjOuis Getzell _ 1925 David Horner _ 1926 Arthur Dix _i_ 1927 George Belote _ 1928 Business Managers Arroxv Page Powell __ 1920 Denard Travis _ 1921 Pearle Brown _ 1922 Eai’nest Churn _ .1923 Kenneth Beatty _ 1924 William Melvin .. 1925 Falter Blake _ 1926 Russell Thompson .. ...1927 Sallie Bishop Jones _ 1928 J.

For lie cannot read his tombstone when he’s deaeh More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval of a friend, For it gives to life a savor, and it makes you stronger, braver, And it gives you lieart and spirit to the end. If he earns your ])raise, bestow it; if you like him, let him know it; Ivct the words of true encouragement be said, Do not wait ’til life is over and he’s nnderneath tlie clover, For he cannot read iiis tombstone when’s he dead. dage siKty-seven Those Who Have Served In Cape Charles High School As Teachers Since Its Beginning 1889 Mr. Jeter Haley 1890-9U92 Miss Emma W.

Gathered around it the connoiaseurs nod approval. Here there have been no trieks no sculptor s wiles No filled-up cracks, no hidden pita or holes. The stone gleams smooth and fair without scar or blemish. And turning to each other they say: Sine cera ’— ' without wax This Latin phrase which came to be applied to everything genuine and authentic, is the reputed origin of our word sincere. In house and market place in field and camp, wherever a thing had been done honestly and without deception its integrity was acknowledged with those two laconic words. Their meaning has endured until this day Sincerity is one of the foundation stones of modern life. Sincerity of purposes sincerity of thought and action, sincerity in speaking and the written word—on this rock stands the whole edifice of human affairs. Without it there can be no confidence. When it is gone security goes with it This house believes i mplicitly in sincerity in advertising It believes in telling the truth. The insincere testimonial, the misleading illustration, the exaggerated statement and the unfounded claim will never find a place in its consideration. It believes that the function of advertising is to sell goods—but not at the cost of honor and sound practice It will not use wax Thus did the great advertising firm of N W. Ayer 6c Son of Philadelphia in a recent full page advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post express their integrity of purpose in serving in a national way And in the same language, with their permission, do we choose to express our integrity of purpose in service in a local way.
