Gracious and kind to everyone she is somewhat partial to the photographic fraternity. Elsie Beeote For a long time Elsie has proved her¬ self a loyal classmate and has supplied the artistic ability for the group. If we find her in life in a studio or in a hospital, we know she ' ll be doing well. Albert’s an all hound good fellow. Everything from printing to dancing in¬ terests Albert and he does them all well. Slow but sure—that ' s Coxey’s motto. Marvin Barnes Marvin like a lot of us, is not the most studious person in the school, but he has certain qualifications which will bring him through wherever he goes. He is a good friend, a ready helper and a real man. What more could you ask? Albert Cox [twenty-one] Lucille Mine The only one of the fairer sex who has been one of ns for these ' leven years.

Virginia Hallett Anywhere you find a laugh you find Virginia—always full of pep, enthusiasm, and a wave of the hand. We can never accuse Virginia of having a ' case ' ' for she appears to be in love with life.

Popular and dependable—these make Ashby the loyal friend that he has always been. [ twenty-three] The Pour-Year Campaign of the Class of ip p for the Conquest of Scholarship, JVith Apologies to Julms Caesar, BOOK I. A ll high school life is divided into four parts: one in which the Freshmen begin their activieties; another in which the Sophomores are most interested; the third part, the Juniors; and the fourth part, those who in their own language are called Seniors but in the language of other classes are known as the most envied in all school life. All these differ from one another in knowledge, dignity and attainments. The Class of ' 29 started its four-year campaign on the morning of September 16, during the years of our Lord 1925. The company had a full supply of unde¬ veloped material for a successful conquest. This queer-looking bench of twenty- one volunteers assembled soon after their admission into the new field and pro¬ ceeded to elect a Captain in d 1 om they had unlimited confidence and who should lead the determined warriors in their quest. They elected this Captain in the person of Virginia Powell. She was a woi hy leader who commanded the untrain¬ ed army well. Although this first year witnessed no great deeds, the warriors received such training and absorbed such a great amount of school spirit, that they waited eagerly for the second year of the campaign, scheduled to l egin after a three month ' s furlough. BOOK IL Upon reassembling after the furlough, mentioned above, they noticed that some had become w eary and dropped out, while a few volunteers had streamed in. As was a custom, they proceeded to choose a captain, and re-elected Miss Powell. This ) ' ear the soldiers experienced a jolly time. When Christmas time approached they had a wonderful Christmas party, which was enjoyed by every member. Thus the second year closed with the soldiers more skilled in all the branches of army tactics. The captain then led the army into summer quarters. BOOK III. At the beginning of the third year of the conquest, and after the army ' s strength had been considered, Virginia was again chosen as captain. This year saw the regiment striving for supremacy, as they took their places among tlie leaders in the different departments of the army. Although a few had fallen by the wayside, the reinforcements were sufficient to make up for those soldiers who had tried with the struggle for conquest and turned back. BOOK IV. When the last year of the campaign opened, the army ' s former leader was for the fourth time chosen as captain and action started off with a bang as the Seniors gained complete control of the situation and applied energetically and willingly their minds and bodies. Each soldier played his part well and fought for the interest of his army. Many times the army was trapped and almost in the hands of the enemy but always it would be delivered to safety by some one who was in the army, or by Miss Sara Doughty, our ever alert general. And so it happened that nearly every soldier was awarded a large piece of paper certifying that he or she had served in a successful conquest and a Thanksgiving was decreed from the Nones to the Ides of June by the people of Cape Charles in the name of Seniors of 29. —E. V. C., Historian, [ twenty-four] Louisville, Kentucky, January 8, 1945. Dear Virginia : I was awfully sorry that I couldn ' t get out to San Francisco to see you during the Christmas holidays l)nt T just conldn ' t make it. However, I did go to New York to see Lucille and had a wonderful time You know she is teaching music in Ijarnard College now. While I was there a new theatre, the ' Elackfriar ' ' (does that remind you of our study of Shakespeare in High School) was opened. And V irginia, guess Avhat? Our old classmate, Jack Hancock, was the architect. I nearly fainted when Juicille told me. We went to the opening of the theatre January 1, The building was the most heautiful thing I’ve even seen Greatly to my surprise, the first thing on the screen read like this. ' A11 the electric devices of this building have been planned and installed by Mr. M H. Barnes. ' The following day Lucille took me out to show me the city. As we were riding down Riverside Drive I saw a woman, dressed in a nurse ' s uniform, turning toward a large building. As we drew closer I recognized Elsie Belote s walk. Lucille stopped the car immediately and soon we were talking to Elsie. She asked us if we ' d like to see her hospital and as we walked into the building ' whom should we see but Dorothy Lowe. After going all over the building Elsie and Dorothy invited us over to their suite at the nurses home. They told us that they had a fine surprise for us and they did—for as they led us into their sitting room we saw Genevieve Startt and Eloise Cutler. We stayed there and talked about our old friends for nearly two hours. We wondered if John Neal were in Sing Sing or at Williamsburg. However it was very pleasant to know that four of my classmates were in one of the best hospitals in New York—Elsie, Day Superinten¬ dent, Genevieve, Head of Surgery; Eloise, Chief Nurse in Operating Room; and Dorothy, Head of Nurses That evening Lucille and I were invited out to dinner. She did not tell me where we were going but carried me to a lovely home and who should meet ns at the door but Albert Cox and his charming wife. That evening we also talked about our old classmates, Albert told me that John Neal is now editor of the Atlantic Monthly. He also told me that he had a card from Ashby Williams the other day. Ash is now in Chicago where he is an outstanding figure in the real estate game. By the way, Virginia I forgot to tell yon that Albert is editor of the New York Times. Having spent a very pleasant evening Lucille and I returned home completely given out. Hope yon are interested as ever in your kindergarten work. Write to me real soon.

CV ftN er5 S A’ HONOR COUNCIL N HONEST Man Is The Noblest Work of GodT For five years the Honor System of Cape Charles has been operating most successfully. The students feel that it has been a character making institution and we all would be loath to see it lose any of its influence. Today the spirit is stronger than ever. AVe feel that this system not only helps to make life better and more pleasant in school but will inspire us to greater things in later years.—S. N. L- TO. [forty-three] President John N Waddell S e ere tary - Treas 11 r or Dorothy Lowe fT HIS YEAR Miss Sara and Miss Out ten sponsored a new organization, called ■ the Dramatic Club. This group is composed of the Juniors and Seniors and a few post-graduates. The purpose of the club is primarily to develop skill and ease in public speaking although a secondary objective is to secure and maintain proper stage settings for the various dramatic activities of the school. By a series of one-act plays suffi¬ cient funds have been raised to provide new scenery “flats” and some lighting equipment. The organization hopes in another year to have a stage “right and proper.” DRAMATIC CLUB [ forty-four] TAESPITE several interruptions, due to flu and to change of instructors this year, we are now hoping for great success in this department, under the in¬ terest of Miss Douglas. The sewing class is making much progress and is planning for a real year s work— real seamstresses they soon will be. In the cooking classes the students learn not only to cook but also to make a kitchen attractive so that both time and money may be saved. We wish this department much success in the future. —D. I. L. HOME ECONOMICS [forty-five] COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT r I this year we have thirty one in onr departraeiit, the largest enrollment since our school has had a commercial course. Our typing class is smaller than usual but our bookkeeping class is considerably larger. Commercial Eaw which was put in the course of study the last term of ' 29, has met with great favor, twenty-two students being in the class. These with sixteen taking typing, six taking shorthand, and fifteen taking bookkeeping comprise the commercial department. We have great hopes for success in the business world for the members of this class; and the success will be due in a large measure to the capable instruction and the untiring efforts of our commercial teacher, Miss Fanny Thomas. —D, I.

It may be safely said that the 1928-1929 quint was the best developed here in bany years. Wapless made forty field goals and his door work was excellent.

Although the County Athletic Council has thought it best to do away with baseball this year as a county project, it is quite likely that each school will have an independent team of its own. It is too early to announce what that schedule will be or to forecast the results As soon as the weather will permit, regular practice will begin with the “old time spirit” to bring C. C. H.

The day was peaceful and the soft soothing breeze of Goodwill seemed to accompany the riders As thev ' rode along this story was wafted to the breezes: ' ' Good-Luck, my friend, you have saved my life. I could never have lived if you and your caravan had ' nt appeared when you did. The bandits, Hatred and Lies would have robb ed me of my life in just a short time. I can never repay you for your kindness:’ ' ' ' Truth, you shall not talk of repaying You have more than done that. ' “But I- “Just a minute, my friend. Let your thoughts wander back over two score years Do you not remember when we were classmates at school, and my name was “Hard Luck,” because everyone was down on me, and considered me a tough guy; how one day the two sitting ahead of us were violating the Honor System, and our prin¬ cipal called on everyone who had seen them cheat to report them; how my wicked nature bade me not to report them, and you knowing my evil thoughts, whispered to me to report them with you, in so doing I would be helping myself and my class¬ mates, too. I listened to you. Truth, and from that day people have changed my name to Good Luck My life and fortune have changed since then; never talk of repaying me ” This was only a snatch of the interesting conversation between Truth and Good Luck, which escaped as another traveller drew nigh He was not riding but totter¬ ing toward ns. Good Luck and Truth ' s %vord were now easily audible to us. As they looked at the traveller they seemed to recognize him, “Truth,” said Good Luck, “that looks like one of our classmates whom nobody knew anything about a week after graduation. Look, he recognizes us.” With this he sent from his retinue two servants. Charity and Love, to help the sufferer, Hard Luck, for that was his name, came slowly and still more slowly towards Truth and Good Luck, “O, Good Luck, and you. Truth, help me to escape my enemies who are pursuing me,” said the weary traveller “There is no one following you,” assured Truth. [ sixty] ' ' Perhaps it was my conscience ' was the reply, ‘ ' that has been tor tiling me ' ' We were just talking over old times ' said Good Laick, Won ' t you join us and tell us your experiences since Graduation Day, when we all parted, so long ago? Would that I had listened to my consciense, and to you, Truth. Then, perhaps, I would not have led the life wdiich I have ' sadly replied the weary one. My downfall started, the night of graduation, when some old cronies of mine took me off to a stag banquet. There I drank something that they put before me. Then we went oft to a night club where we had some more of the same stuffI arrived home the next morning, not knowing where I had been the earl} hours of the day, and Mother was waiting for me. I lied to her about my doings the night before, saying that I had spent the night with a friend Since then my friends, Lies, Drink, Deceit and Cowardice have pursued me—but no more. I repent and assert my sin. Since the doctors tell me that I shall probably die shortly (since my heart is affected), please carry my story back to all young people. Or I beseech of you to instill in the lives of the students the tragedy of my life. Although I have re¬ pented the best of my life is gone and they may not have time to forsake such sinning ' M.

Later it was bought by Mr. W. F Scott who was then president of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The land snrroniiding Cape Charles is still a part of the Scott estate Until sixteen thirty-four all of the Eastern Shore of Virginia was included in Accomack County, wdiich extended to the Maryland line, consequently Cape Charles was then in Accoinac County; in this year the name w as changed to Accomack In sixteen-seventy-two how ever this peninsula, that is the part that is included in Virginia, was divided into two counties, Accoinac and Northampton The town of Cape Charles is located at the extreme southern end of the lower comity Before the laying of the New York, Pennsyivanin, and Norfolk Railroad down the Peninsula Cape Charles was known as “Three Ponds ' ’ One of these ponds is now the boat harbor, the other two were drained and filled with sand, blown from the bathing beach of Cape Charles, The place from w hich the sand was blown is generally known as the “HaleT This made land is now the residential section bounded by Plum and Pine Streets and Tazewell and Jefferson Avenues. The coing of the New York, Pennsylvania and Norfolk Railroad in eighteen and eighty-four marked the real beginning of Cape Charles. When the workmen of the railroad first came there was not a boarding house that could accomodate them. A temporary shack with a roof of p iper was built not far distant from the big tree just opposite the jail, which served as the first feeding or hoarding house in Cape Charles This feed room was kept by L. H. Stugis, who was the first proprietor of the Arlington Hotel. The first building in Cape Charles was located on the site of Savage and Blassingame s Drug Store. The first business interprise was saloon keeping, later Mr. Fitchett opened the first grocery store. In January eighteen and eighty-six Mr. L, E. Mum ford opened the first department store. This store at first included both groceries and dry goods, later however the grocery department was abolished L, E Mumford’s department store was at first located where Mr. J. W. Diverty now docs business. In eighteen and eighty-eight he moved to the corner of Mason Avenue and Strawberry Street, where Wilsoids Department Store now stands. The first industry began with the town in eighteen and eighty-four. The Sterling Brothers were the first to start and organize a seafood industry. Among the first residences in Cape Charles were, the home of Captain Benjamin Kellog which still stands at the corner of Mason Avenue and Fig Street and the groups of houses on the north side of Tazewell Avenue between Plum and Nectarine street known as “Cassett Row. The first large building was the Virginia Flotel built and owned by Mr. S B Travis. Cape Charles was laid out by railroad engineers on the checkerboard plan. Its avenues are named for great men of Virginia: Mason Avenue for George Mason, author of tlie Declaration of Rights; Randolph Avenue for John Randolph, the great orator of Roanoke, Tazewell Avenue for Governor Tazewell; Monroe and Madison Avenues for presidents of the United States; jeflferson Avenue for Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence; and Washington Avenue for George Washington the Father of his country. The streets were given the names of various fruits by Mr. Wallbridge the first Mayor, for the streets of Erie, Pa,, bis native city [sixty-foue] Lajje Charles was incorporated March 1, 1886 with Mr Wallhridgc as Mayor, The lirst council that served were: George W, Russel, George W. Widgeon B. T. FitJ gcrald, L E. Muinfordj and S. B. Ira vis, 1 he guardians of the place through the years have been Sar¬ gents Evans, Crocket, Kellog, Savage, Taylor, Britt, Reynolds, rnd Dennis. Mayor Wall- hrklge’s successors in order arc: Mayors Smith, King, Sterling, Wilson, Savage, Carrol, Stevenson, Daniels, Burbage, ' Williams, and the present ineiimbent A. F. Di c who is serv¬ ing his fourth term. The llrst steamer on this route was the Jane Mosely owned by the Washington Steamship Company. She was a wooden boat and while going out of the harbor one morning she hit the anchor of a dredge and sank. This is the only passenger boat connected with this Rail- roa l that h: s ever gone to Davy Jones locker. Captain McGuire at the time was quarter¬ master on this vessel Another early steamer, the Cape Charles, was designed to ferry pas- scJigcr cars hut a few high winds and rough seas and the loss of several cars, proved this to be ail impracticable undertaking. There have been three school buildings during the history of Cape Charles. The hrst a one room frame building fitted with rude furniture, was located on the site of the home of Mth F. Tucker Wilkins. Approximately twenty-five pupils attended this temple of learn¬ ing. The second building a two story lirick building located on the eastern end of Monroe Avenue was found inadequate because of an influx of railroad workmen and was succeeded by the present building, a tw enty-room brick structure located at the north east corner of the City Park. This year a negro school, an up-to-date brick building with an auditorium that will be one of the best in the state, will be completed at a cost of sixteen thousand dollars. The first church building in Cape Charles was located opposite the city park where Mr. J. W. Coleburn’s dwelling now stands This church, a small frame building known as Bethany Church, because of its isolated location and marsliy approach was soon abandoned It now stands on Jefferson Avenue and with some additions as the African Methodist Church. A new site was obtained by the Bethrny people and the first uivit of the present building was erected Other denominations have gradually organized until the town today contains five Protestant houses of worship and one Cathcslic church. Hand in hand with schools and churclies as a moldcr of community thinking, goes the public press. Early in the history of the town ne vspapers were few; the first, the Pioneer was owned and operated by Mr. W. Buliett Fitzhugh. Captain George Savage started a weekly known as the Head Light which Mr. John Carrol later bought and changed its name to the Light, The Pioneer and Light merged into one paper and was bought l y Mr. L E. Mumford who named the combined papers The North:mpton Times and transferred the ownership to a stock company with Me.ssrs, A ' ilson, Rogers, Daniel and Mumford as stock holders. The entire control and ownership has since passed into the hand of Mr. J. T Daniels who publishes one of teh best weeklies in the state. There liave been two other newspapers in Cape Charles, the Echo and the News, both of which were short lived. The vital industry in Cape Charles has always been the Railroad offices and shops. The railroad first known as the New York Pennsylvania rnd Norfolk has lately been absorl ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad The first superintendent of the railroad was Mr James McConkey who lived in Salisbury. His successor H W. Dunne made his home in Cape Charles Those who have followed h: ve elected to do likewise and now the Superintendent ' s home is one of the show places of the town [sixty-fivk] Before closing this retrospect we woirld mention a few more high spots in local growth. In 1900 a water and sewage system was installed and in 1913 the oil street lamps and their faithful attendant gave way to a good system of electric service. In 1925 the town felt itself enough ‘ ' grown up” to hard surface the streets and three years later the town fathers moved forward another step when they had installed an up-to-date arc lighting system through the center of each avenue. Thus Cape Charles has developed from farm land, woods, and ponds into the pitctiiresque, progressive and modern town of today. Electric lights, installed about thirty years ago and paved streets completed in 1925, with arc lights to light them today, make the little city seem quite up-to-date.
