We eannot show you all of the most important events nor all of those most dear to uSj even though they will always remain wdtliin our liearts and memories. To youj who have had the honor and pleasure of at some time being a member of Cape Charles High School, we hope these pages will bring mucli joy and fond memories. To you, who have never been associated with the school, we hope they wdll give an idea of its activities and its real place in the hearts of its sons and daughters. To you, who are still in school, may these records be an inspiration, and a great help in your future work We are proud of our school for many reasons. We are espe¬ cially proud of our Honor System, which we know to be not only a successful institution, but also a character-building force in our high school life; w ' e are proud of our record in athletics, which, though varying, is honorable; we are proud of our faculty and prinicipal who eoeperate with us so nobly; we are proud of our four years work in character-building and mental training; we are proud even of the downs as w ell as tlie ups And so, readers, as you open this, the twelfth volume of the Arrow, read it with a kind eye, over-look our faults, and commend our merits. 0 [ 5 ] § I H 1 To you, MMS.

Pitty’s curly head is an ornament to the Senior Class, and we all delight in hearing her soft, well-modulated tones. Her sunny dis¬ position and merry laugh endear her to all who know her She is an all ' round girl and has such a nature as you seldom find. Virginia is gracious and friendly to every- body, no matter what their station in life may be, and she is always ready and willing to help all Here we can’t enumerate all her virtues, but we know that she is, and will continue to be, a most faithful, worthy, and lovable friend. i Mary Magdai.ene Schaefer College Preparatory Honor Council, ' 23; Vice-President Athletic Council, ' 29; Be ketbal], 29, 30; Volleyball, 29, 30; Dramatics Club, 29, ' 30; Editor-in-Chief Arrow, word of eheerj a greeting glad, A jolly, amiable way she hadP Some are born gentle; some acquire gen¬ tleness ; some have it thrust upon them Mary is all three.

Out of these elections grew our motto: ' ‘Rowings not drifting ” Our flower was a lilac with corresponding colors of lavender and silver The Honor System at this time was youngs and we took it upon ourselv es to improve it, so we organized our owm Honor Council, whose members w ' erc: Thurley Browm and Reginald Barnes.

What makes matters worsen the editors are insisting that all work he in by February 26th What a predicament! Only twenty-three days and not a line nor a thought! “O Muse of Prophets and Seers come to my rescue ” Something seizes my breath ! I am choked ! Slipping down-—down— down ! I grasp for con¬ scious ness j but cannot bold on. The falling sensation lapses into complete darkness and chaosfrom w bich I pass into a state of semi-cons cions ness. There is a knock! K nock! As regular as the ticking of a clock! Attempting speech I struggle through: ' Come-in Is this my owm voice that sounds so hollow and lifeless? The door slowly swings in and reveals a creature small in stature and outstanding in features Who are you who come preceded by such happenings f Speak! or the sight will drive me insane I stammered After what seemed to be an eternity it speaks: “I am sent to guide you to my master who has heard your entreaty; follow me.” The walls close in on us and for the second time there is that dropping and slip¬ ping sensation as if we are in an elevator A door is before us. No hand touches it, but it opens, and looking out I see a long, dimly lighted hallway, stretching into seemingly endless space As we pass along the hall I notice doors on each side with the simple inscriptions; 1930, 31, 32, and on into the century. The first door is open and my leader pauses while I gaze into it. This is the hall of the future, and the rooms enclose the incidents of the various years, whose inscriptions you see on the lintel. The room you are now before is that of 1930 or the present Looking in, I behold all my classmates busy at work on the annual. This sight reminds me that I must hurry on. The page, who has been leading me, directs me to a certain door, ■which, he says is Father Timers room. When I knock the page disappears and the door opens; within I see dear old Father Time with his scythe and keys Upon his inquiry as to what I wish, I reply: “To me has been assigned the task of prophesying the future of the members of the class of 1930, and knowing I ' THE ARROW that you hold the keys to the future I have come to implore you to allow me one key;, by whic h I may enter into the year 1950 Slowly fingering his keys he removes the 20th from the bunch. Without a word he hands it to me moves his scythe and I find myself in the hall agaiuj and in front of the room marked 1950, hand shakes so I cannot put the key to the lock, ' Calm yourself. Are you afraid to enter into the future? sounds a silvery voice from the inside of the room. The key slips into the lock;, and turns as if by magic powetj and I push the door open ! Before me stretches the enormous laws of the White House, But who is that solitary figure walking the paths? Oh the presi- dentj of course! Upon coming closer I recognize but not to my surpise Fred Hudson, Helloj where did you come from? he exclaims, ' ‘From 1930 I reply, “But when were you elected as president? “In 1948 he answers, “Come in and meet my wife though I am sure you know her Again I am pleased but not astonished for the First Lady of tiie Land is none other than our flaxen haired president of 30 Virginia Turner, An old negro comes tottering in. “Helloj darling “Well. Ruffian what are you doing here? For an answer he unbuttons his coat and inside displays a big gold button on his vesL with these words in maroon: “HONORARY JANITOR OF THE WHITE HOUSE, Then Fred speaks: “Come on let ' s go riding and see who else you will meet We climb into his torpedo ship;, and are in New York in four minutes and thirty seconds. On our way he tells me it was perfected by the Nottingham and Barnes Electric Company whose offices we shall visit first. After the usual greetings, “Shrimp shows us around the work shops and says that “Deggy is at work on a very important invention. But I have not time to pause here for the time is slipping and I have only seen four members of tbe class. Our next stop is at the National Bank where the directors are having a meeting to try to decide what to do with the surplus sums. As we walk in we see firsts Arthur Copes at the head of the tablej then to his rights Grayson Vaden and at one side the stenographer Kathleen Wise. From Fred I learn that “Copesie and “Boob ' are the two best known bankers in New Yorkj and that “Hop holds the typewriting championship of the country.

Better keep your- JL self clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.More and more of the pupils of Cape Charles High School realize the value of honesty. They know that their honor consists not only In refraining from cheatings but also in maintaining proper attitudes w-ith regards to profanity misbe¬ havior in halls and class rooms; that school property marred and property of other pupils used without consent of the owner are evil and unsocial acts, and have no part in the behavior of honorable members of a social body; and that only goodj clean people make true citizens. For these reasons the Honor System has been established in C. C. H. S. It has grown and strengthened for six years and this year has served its purpose more effectively than ever before.

We have thirty-two students and while the majority are taking only parts of the commercial course there are a few who are taking the complete course. This year the department has put forth a special effort to enlarge its work. Through this effort to enlarge we have been able to do school work for the teachers and any work for the students whicli would affect the school in general. This ouU side commercial work has consisted in typings duplicating and stenographic service. By doing this additional work the commercial department has become more inter¬ esting and helpful. The typing and shorthand classes this year, are looking forward with much inter¬ est to a contest which will be held during April. In this contest the students of the typing and shorthand classes of our school will compete with the same classes of other schools on the Eastern Shore, Acknowledgment is here made of the untiring effort on the part of our commercial teacher Miss Fanny Thomas in trying to secure for the department new and modern furniture and also many other things which tend to make this a fuller and more complete course L, H. and E, C.

[ 67 ] THE ARROW :s i . ll Eastern Shore Fifty Years Ago and Now I T is difficult for the present generation to realize that less than fifty years ago the Eastern Shore of Virginia was without a railroad hence it is true tliat before tlien wc were almost an isolated people, engaged chiefly in repairing the rums wrought by the Civil War, No kind of industry proceeded on an extensive scale; a few crops such as corn, round and sweet potatoes, which were grown in liniited quantities were our staples, while farms produced yearly not more than one hundred barrels of potatoes eacle Sail boats and two steamers which plied between the Eastern Shore, Baltimore, and Norfolk were depended upon as means of travel and transportation. Produce was carted in some instances over roads almost impassable to wliarves wdicre boats arrived at designated times, Mone} ivas scare and hard to earn hut our people were industrious, lived com¬ fortably, and were coiitented in the vision of a better day. About six miles apart the one-room school houses satified the educational requirements of the day with a ciir- riculum of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Time went on with a few changes until the building of the New York, Philadel¬ phia and Norfolk Railroad in 1884, having for its terminus Cape Charle.s—now our lovely little city on the Chesapeake Bay. The coining of the railroad furnished a new outlook on life and new experiences as wx were in direct touch with the rest of the country and could expect quick transportation for our produce and quick returns for the sales. A variet} of crops that required rapid marketing could he produced and shipped without perishing in transit. With the advent of the railroad came the telegraph system, that rapid transmitter of human thought. We could receive a message from relatives or friends living miles away and have the opportunity of reaching the bedside before a loved one died. An artery of the great railroad system had connected us wdtli the heart of the world and the people of the Eastern Shore realized that a new day had dawned for them. At first progress was hardly perceptible but slowly development took place in the industrial and economic life of our people. Farmers purchased the latest farm macliinery and planted larger crops; our people built new and more com¬ fortable homes; pumps for water took the place of the well and the old wooden bucket; stoves took the place of open fire places; roads which had been almost im¬ passable received attention ; the daily arrival of newspapers and magazines, which hitherto had been received only once a week, kept the people’s minds informed as to politics and the general news of the country; the church, the country store and the county seat became the principal gathering places of the people. Thus crept by with its slow changes the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Evolution, not Revolution had prepared us for the new era. We were keenly alive to the new world of intere.sts and opportunity which the twentieth century had brought. Scientists were making new discoveries and inventors were revolutionizing the industrial world. Better ediicational facilities had made the young people more capable of adopting new ideas and of adapting themselves to a new world than their [ 58 ] b ' h I I THE ARROW parents had been. Tliey learned to till the soil seientilicallj so that in a few years lands grew rich in production and instead o£ a farm producing a few barrels of pota¬ toes it measured its yie]d by thousands In 1880 less than one thousand carloads of potatoes were shipped from the county; in 1910 twenty-four thousand carloads were shipped; in 1929 this figure had grown to thirty-eiglit thousand—we wait to sec what the next decade wdll bring. The people realised tlie ivonderful possi¬ bilities of their soil and continued improvements until today the Eastern Shore is by federal survey the most productive farming section in tlie United States. As the land grew richer in the yield of potatoes eabbages and berriesj the farmers grew’ more wealthy and with wealtli came luxuries. The peoples of the Eastern Shore want the good things of life and if possible will have them. In 1906 the automobile made its advent in our county—the first ever seen by the majority of our people. It was owuied by the Huff Brothers of Cheriton, Some of the people looked with awx at the wonderful machine passing by and solemnl} declared they would never risk their lives in a dangerous thing like that. Some even w’Cnt so far as to say that such noisome uncertain devices were a menace to all horse drawn vehicles since they frightened the animals beyond control and, therefore, should he outlawed. Time brings changes and the minds of the people change with the times. Today every family that can afford it ow ' iis an automobile and many w ' lio can not afi ' ord it own one also. This year three thousand license tags were sold at the Northampton office alone. Less than thirty years ago tliere w’ere no telephones on the sliore while today the Bell Telephone system has a phone installed in most of the homes. On January Slst, 1980, there were two thousand six hundred and nine telephones in service in Northampton and Aecomac counties, Electric plants have been established on the peninsular wdiich furnish us current for illumination and pow er in our homes, both in the country and the villages. Labor saving inventions operated by elec¬ tricity have made house-keeping a joy to the country woman. The high schools and churches of the Shore will do credit to any city of larger population. In Northampton county there are six accredited high schools—the graduates of which are accepted in the best colleges and universities. The pupils of the schools are housed, with one exception, in up-to-date brick buildings repre¬ senting a monetary value of approximately three quarters of a million dollars. Cape Charles High School, the pioneer of these buildings, built in 1912, was for ten years the only brick school building on the Shore, Frank town, built before the “brick era,” is a splendid frame plant offering superior advantages in the Agricultural and Home Economics Departments. Northampton county can also boast of six well built and ivell arranged Baptist churches, seven Methodist churches, three Presbyterian churches, two Episcopal churches, and one Catholic church. An up-to-date concrete road has just been completed connecting us with the Maryland State road. The “hay-seed” farmer no longer exists. We are keep¬ ing up with the times. Everyday we see air ships flying over our heads and in the near future our wealthy neighbors wdll have acreoplanes of their own. The Eastern Shore has great natural resources capable of a variety of developments. She has wonderful soil, a mild climate, and is nearly surrounded by the great arms of the Atlantic Ocean, waterways that lead to the ends of the world, L, C [S9] k A % Ih ll THE ARROW Our Page of Antiques Hedrtc Coit rg the originiil home of CoL Edmund Scarbiirghj is on Oeeahanoek Creek, below Craddockville. It is a fair example of tlie style of house used by many of the oldest Eastern Shore settlers. The interior is made lovely by carved panellings mantles and cupboards. The Court House at Eastville the count} seat boasts of the oldest continuous record.s in America. Some of these records date from 1632. Mt. Custis is five miles from Accomac Court House on Parker ' s Creek—Metomp- kin Bay. An ancient grave here reads: Colonel Henry Ciistis Son of Robinson and Mary Custis Born July 28, 1743 Died May 27, 1793 This gives you some idea of the age of the homestead. The plantation was for nianj years in the Bayly family. The late Mrs. Louis McLane Tiffany willed it to be sold and the proceeds to be given to the University of Virginia, It has eight miles of beach, eight hundred acres of land, and stands in a beautiful grove. The HJldest now standing intact on the Eastern Shore was built in 1630. It is said that Governor Berkley was once entertained here. The woodwork, mantels and cupboards are unusually interesting. Hall ' three miles from Cheriton, is the original home of the Eyre family. The oldest grave there has an English coat-of ' arms on it and the date 1706. The original furniture is still in the house, and a beautiful old garden there is of special interest. IVoodla?ids ' on the Seaside Road above Nassawadox, is the home of Miss Sallie Thomas. It was built by Margaret Downing in 1770, before the Revolution. FoUg ' ' is three miles from Accomac Court House. It wa.s built by CoL Southey Littleton before 1720, but later passed into the Cropper and Joynes families. It is now owned by Miss Anne Cropper, ’wlio lives in Italy. ' ' Oak Grove in Old Towne Neck, is the home of T. D. Smith, and was built over 200 years ago. It remained in the Parker and Cos tin families many years. There is a tradition that a son of Gov. Tazewell mounted his horse between the two great oaks on the front lawn and shot himself because a fair member of the Parker family had spurned him. Sce7te ' the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Bullitt Fitzhogh, is near Machi- pongOj off the stone road. It was built by Hancock Dunton, grandson of John Hancock, over 200 years ago. Dr. Philip Aylett Fitzhugh, grandson of Patrick Henry, is buried there. St. Creorge ' s Chr rck %vas the fourth church on the peninsula. It was built between 1652 and 1660. It is located at Pungoteague. On account of its peculiar shape it was irreverenti}! styled, ‘Ace of clubs.” The old church remained intact until pressed into service as a stable by CoL Lockwood, of the Federal army, during the Civil War, The first rector was Thomas Teackle.

They were boarding the “Ambition ” not for a vacation or a pleasure cruise but, as a means to gather in all the information possible pertaining to tlieir life ' s work; some hoping against hope that a chance event would offer itself as an inspiration influencing their souls to be of some service to mankind; otliers planning to get all the possible information that could be used for their own personal advantage and not thinking of any one else ' s welfare. After the crew had taken on all the available supplies it w ent into council. This particular crew was one of the best that could be procured. It was known by all the shipping crews that had ever sailed into the port of “Graduation ' as the “Honor Council,” This title had heeu given becau.se of the courage and excellent seaman- sliip of these brave sailors on the high seas of “Temptation,” The immediate pur¬ pose of the meeting was to plan the voyage and to assign to each member of the crew some particular work. The combined duty of this crew ' w ' as to carry the ship ' s passengers safely to their destination. Six weeks they sailed with a steady trade and a steady current that set them far beyond the reach of any shoreline. At the beginning of the seventh week there was a restless stir on board as the sun set and the moon appeared from beyond the sailing clouds. There seemed to be many clonds this night. The mate with the eye of an eagle stood on the bow-sprit his tall grey figure slashing up and down first against the stars and then into the ocean. At length the mate left his post of dutyj with a despairing look upon his face scrambled down from his un¬ restful perclij and went aft to announce to the captain that a storm was brewing off the port. The moon went behind the low over-hanging clouds, not to appear again. The wind became a mighty giant pounding the little ship “Ambition” at its will. The water which a few hours before was a slowj lazy ripple , now became a vast ex- panse of monntainous waves. The little sliip now suddenly disappeared behind a mountain of w ater as though never to rise again, but in some miraculous manner it re-appeared, only to be met by the next on-rushing deluge. The captain and the mate were all in tlie pilot house, their eyes straining for any possible sight of land. Down in the saloon the passengers were grouped to¬ gether, some terror-stricken, others trying to re-as.snre those who thought they would never reach port. All the night long the storm raged. The crew, remaining at their posts of duty, were called upon to put to practice all their knowledge of seamanship. The storm broke as quickly as it came. Dawm brought a new’ world of quiet to the crew of the Ambition Oif to the ea.st the heavens were dyed witli a faint orange tinted with blue. The peace of the w’aters wms as a soothing balm in con¬ trast to the turmoil of the night before. In the ship s log could be found these lines, “Encountered last night the storm known in these parts as the Storm of Doubt. Spirits of crew and passengers lowered somewhat, but no severe losses suffered. The next three years brought many days of pleasure to the crew and passengers. Many of these days were overshadow’ed by the storms of Doubt by fevers, know’n in the Soutli Seas as the “Criticism Plague and by punishments inflicted upon the passengers by the captain and crew—punishments, wdiich w’ere the re¬ sults of dishonor and disloyalty, caused by the restlessness of the passengers. The four years were rapidly draw’ing to a close. Everyone on shipboard was in suspense as to wdrat kind of port they w ere approaching. Some were chafing to get away from the ship, which had held them prisoners for four years. Others reluctant to bid good-bye to friends whom they had made during the voyage, and whom they had learned to understand, felt their joy tinged wdth regret as the days sped by. Then came the end, as ends must come. ' ‘Friends said our brave eaptain coming into the dining room one evening, “today is June 6. Tomorrow at 8 P. M. we make port. You can obtain your passports or diplomas wdien you reach port. Be at the company s office immediately on landing. In the mean time, make the best of this, your last day together. June 7 daw’ned bright and clear. Passengers and crew were out early, loathe to lose a single precious moment of the few’ remaining hours. Most of the passengers THE ARROW were at the rails watdiing the silver billows rolling gently to die away on some far distant shore. From the bridge a voice was heard to say Land Ho ' As the ship drew nearer tire little speck in the distance was clearly seen to be land. Quickly more quickly onr ship cut the blue waters leaving a silver mark as she went. Lines loomed up on the shorCj melted into eacli others and finally grew into spires trees and houses. The shore line was complete. When the ship docked those who had already crossed the sea of Temptation lined the piers waiting to greet the newcomers. The gang-plank was put outj and everyone went ashore, A few over-looked the captain ' s warning, and failed to get their passports validated. The others, however, stopped at the office, got the precious papers and hurried on. Now that everyone was ashore, they looked about to familiariae themselves with this great city of Graduation. In the far distance, they saw a river, called by the captain, the river of Opportunity,” They were informed that by following this river they would find lands unknown. Some of the passengers of the “Ambition” eagerly received this information, and set out in seareh of new lands and new ex¬ periences, They found the river rough, frequented with falls, and the land through which it flowed hilly and rocky; but at its source, they were rewarded, with the I and of Plentiful Resources.” These are with the doers of the world ' s work. Others were contented to stay at the w aters edge. Here they lived the same life day in, and day out. These are among the dead heads and parasites of society. The thrill of landing and dipping into the unknown has made our travelers forget even the usual w ords of goodbye. Well ' sighed the captain, “forgotten so soon. Come, mates. Let ns clean house and get ready for the next start in September,” R. D. [ 67 ] k I ii ! A THE ARROW Never To Be Forgotten I. Hurry up 1 Here comes Miss Dunton T ' Will we ever forget those words?
