Pat7 e Three Dedication Pit I NCI PAL MARCUS HAXTKK DRY was Isirii Octolx'r 1s71, on a beautiful farm in Union County. After thoroughly preparing himself at Union Institute, at the age of twenty-one. he entered Wake Forest College, from which institution, three years later, he received the degree of Master of Arts. Later, lie spent the summer of 1SD0 at our State University; later still, liill and 1!H2, he x|h iiI two summers at Columbia University; and last summer. li)14, he lhl sjieeial work at the A. M. College. After teaching a short while in the public schools of Union County. Mr. Dry liecamc Principal of the Wingate High School in ls!MI. which itosltion la ellieiently tilled until 11KJS; at this time, having won a reputation for himself, la was elected to the Principal- ship of the Cary Public State High School to succeed Professor Middleton. Last fall Mr. Dry was elected a member of the executive committee of the State Teachers’ Assembly; and soon after this, he was made President of the Isiard of directors of the Cary ltank. Professor Dry is an educated business man. a splendid administrator, and a very successful teacher in the class-room; but it Is not in these capacities that he has achieved his highest distinction: most important of all. lie is a man. clean, honest, true -a man who unconsciously wins his way into tin hearts of all with whom he comes into contact; it is as a man. a friend, a companion, that we all love him. Editorial T IIKICK was a class and there Is a class. The one class had Ideals, and lacked on vlromnent. the other happily had lx th. We only claim to have solidified their dreams, their ideal, solidifying It only by the application of cold, hard, fact our hands. Then. too. the other class had a motto: Where we lix our heart, we set our hand.” So Juniors. Sophomores, and Freshmen, realize you lirst the value of an ideal, a motto and— “Procrastination all despise. Concentration we advise. And urge you iierseverance prize. Kven though the one class did fail, it seems quite fitting that this, the lirst annual of the first State Public High School should l c published by the tlrst class graduated from It—in Its second period of evolution. So we. the Seniors of Nineteen-fifteen, and the Kditors, truly hope that our publication may please you and that it may give you some reason to think of us as Practical Idealists. Tilt: Kmrons.

T ir e a I I Class History To do � ur class justice, it may Ik well to no back to its beginning. Several years a no one or our members entered tin lirst grade of the primary depart- ment, ami. after years of plodding. Is now a Senior. From time to time there were additions to the small beginning, and now there is a membership of sixteen, coming from two counties. Our class individually as Seniora was consummated Septemlter ! , 1014. At this time officers were elected, and true Senior enthusiasm was instilled in the hearts of each member. What has lxsen accomplished? Through the influence of the Xineteen-llftoeners. the three lower high school grades have organized and are thus prepared to take up and continue the im] ortant work of Seniors. In addition to the regular school duties, our (’lass has inaugurated an aid to the instructors in the management of the reading room and library. This plan was approved by the principal, and the class took charge of this department. The results have been satisfactory, and many a miscreant has been made to bite the dust.” The class of Nineteon-llfteen is issuing the lirst annual of our worthy institution; and. after much consultation and persistent work, the annual has been made a success. In order to raise funds for this undertaking, a 1n x party was given, resulting in the realiza- tion of an encouraging sum. Next a play, “Scenes in a I'nion Depot.” was ventured and successfully given to the public. There has been earnest school work done by our members, but not to the exclusion of pleasant social Intercourses. We have the honor of being the lirst class to graduate from our completed new building and also the lirst class to issue a State High School Annual. Our worthy class is made up of a well balanced variety of sizes, ages, complexions, and temperaments; and according to home economics principals, the finished loaf will take blue ribbons.” —Historian. 1’.

We give them the right to oversee the “Joke Box”: and the Junior girls may have a man to «ill once a month provided the months are at least four weeks long.

I was thinking, as I sot in the smutty little depot. I was thinking of the of the events of the day. Among the things that had come my way. 1 was elected Class Prophetess. Well, that was pretty good, but I thought It utmost train time. When I went to get my ticket, I found that the train was one-half an hour late. Imnd knows! What a long time. I settled myself before the little Iron stove. The glow of the coals made the room look very cheery after all. As I gazed into the IkhI of coals. I wondered really what would become of us. We had lieen such a loyal baud to ourselves and our school. As 1 watched the coals, they iK-gun to take shape. It seemed that I was before a great build- ing. I. being of the same wandering disfiosltion. went in. without even knowing what I was going into. A very dlguilied lady came to the door. I thought her face was familiar. I knew that 1 had seen that nose some where, ami the sag of her shoulders looked familiar. She broke into a giggle, and I knew that It was our 'Trlnce.” I asked what in the world she was doing here. She led me around to a large brass plate on the door, and there t read. “Algebraic and 1'hyslcs College for the Feeble Minded, President. Miss Omie IMle Prince; Dean, Mr. Cnrvln Massey. Of all things! She Invited me to spend a week with her, and I accepted. One day we decided to take a little spin out into the country. She told me she had quite a pleasant surprise for me, saying I would see some of my classmates of the Cary High School. Who in the world could it be? As we rode on. my eurioslty got the lxsst of mo. I could hardly wait. We went to u little country town and came up In-fore the most romantic little cottage, where everything looked very happy. I wondered which of my classmates lived there. 1 noticed on the door this lattice, l r. C. ;. Hanks. Oh! that was our most learned Mr. Hanks of Cary. And Hint smiling little woman who came down the steps was Plorric Medliu. I wondered when this wedding took place. They were doing nicely In this little village and wore known by everylxtdy in it. It hapiieiicd that the town In which Prince and Mr. Massey had erected their College, then- was a large hotel that interested me very much. It was the ■ Yarlioro Hotel.” I asked Prince a (suit it. and she said, Carson Yates had married a Miss Yarboro, and when she had died, a few years after the wedding, he had called the hotel for her maiden name. In Prince's room I found a picture that interested me very much. Ii was a sweet- faced woman. She was stout, and gathered on her lap and around her were several of the dearest children. 1 knew that I had seen those sincere eyes somewhere before. After guessing and guessing who It was. Prince said it was Mi's. Olive, and those were little Olives. I know then, it was Almira Woodward. My visit ended here. I had had a glorious time. I had started back to the scene of my childhood and youth. I had to wait over In a little town called Hen-Cackle.” I thought I had heard of something like that before: so | asked how and why the town got Its name. The man to whom I was shaking said a young fellow from the University of North Carolina laid come down there and started to sell the stulT and made so much money that he practically owned the town, and out of his appreciation for the food, lie hud calks! the town Hen-Cackle.” I asked who it was, and he said II. V. Ilurgls, Jr. Did I know him? Well. 1 guess I did remember our President. He got off the train as I climbed aboard, and lie said that he had kept up with all of our members except Kunioe Penny and me. I told him I had .seen Eunice in one of the northern cities, acting as a IMiliceman since her huslmnd had lost his job. She seemed to know how to handle the Hilly” strongly as though she was used to it. She had gone north where woman suffrage had come to pass, and she could vote. I st«� pped in ('ary. It was not like it had liecn ten years ago. but Ila House was. Ila was such a good girl, that she was perfectly satisfied to have the birds sing around her artistic little door. She was loved by all in the little village of (.’ary, because of her kindness and modesty. While I was at home. I was lonely, yes lonely. One morning the papers had a notice- able discussion in them. Harvard University had been made a co-ed institution, and Caynelle Yates and Rachel Ivey had finished there. The papers said Caynelle had mar- ried the president, and Rachel, who acted as maid of honor, would follow her example at an early date. There was a letter at my home which had been there for six months: but, as my mother did not know my address, she had not forwarded it. It was from Daisy Hunter. My eyes tilled with tears—we had been such chums. Always, we had such jolly times together. Now she was in far away Washington, where she was filling the home of Senator Little very charmingly and nobly. She said that Little things were a great deal of trouble. I was thinking, as I finished reading the letter, that all my friends had amounted to something to the world. Cleo and Terrene Holloman were two very successful girls. They had finished one of the Northern Colleges with Magna ('um Laude.” and had married men whom they had met in their college days, and settled down to life. Mr. Brady had grown a mustache and was living at his fathers old home—one of the most successful sawmlllers of Wake county. K. ('. Jr., was very much like his father. I thought one night, as I sat on the porch, of my own life. My days had been glad ones because I had made them so; but I would «lie unwept, unhonored, and unsung.” O. that was the train blowing! Did I dream all that, or did I see it in the red hot coals? I hustled out and was soon on my way to Italelgh. - Phopiictkss. Pag c Tic ent g- five 1 3union Class Officers I'ltKSIDKNT..............

At the beginning of the term of Ibl-i-l. . the Junior students met and organized, and will go on record as the third organized class of Juniors of Cary High School. The Juniors have t� een a hap|� y hand, and pride themselves with the fact that every one Is loyal to Ills or her elass. Its mcmliers have won many of the highest honors of the school, and they have taken leading imrts In every phase of school life. Four out of the six commencement debaters are Juniors: also four of the declatmers are Juniors. The student selected to represent the school, and the alternate. In the declamation contest held at Trinity College, were Imth Juniors. All four of the representatives selected to represent the school in the declamation and recitation contests to Ik held at Greensboro and Klon College were Juniors, and all four of the commencement reciters are Juniors. The four del mi tors that representd the school in the triangular delNitc were all Juniors, and in the athletic way. four of the'varsity iMisket-ball team were Juniors. Before we leave for our summer vacation, we wish to concede all that goes to make a Junior Class to the Sophs, and we Iio|h to return in the fall lilled with energy and go down on record as the banner Senior Class. —His IONIAN.

I was tlilnking as I walked up the street to her home that |icrhaps slie knew something of them, where they were, and what they were doing. Sure enough she had kept a record of tile whole Class, and she told me about every one of them.

Its estahlishnient was due to the rapid growth of the school, which, until this time, had only one society for l oys. When the number of boys in school 1 teen me greater than one society could con- veniently accommodate, another was formed. At its beginning, the Society was composed of twenty active young men. With this number to begin its career, it has grown rapidly in usefulness until we feel that it is the eipml of any organization of its kind existing in a high school of North Carolina. The Society is very fortunate in selecting ollicers. yt all times, that are capable of satisfactorily tilling their positions. Only by wise leadership could the Society have climbed so rapidly to the place it-now occupies. We have been fortunate in making a selection when we were np] curing in public. The Calhoun's speech is always good, and we are justly proud of the record our 1m .vs make and maintain. Our policy is to encourage loyally. We help our members in every possible way. Our new memlrers are regarded with the same respect that our old mcinl crs are. It is the greatest desire of every Calhoun that each member shall do something for himself, his society, and his school. The Society has lw en ably represented by young men in the inter-society debates and declamation contests. We have the record of only six years Work in the Inter-society contests. During this time, three Calhouns have won the annual deleter's medal. At the «aid of each of the other three years, the annual declaliner's medal has been received by a Calhoun. We are ever ready and willing to aid anyone or anything in need. We are glad cooperate with the other societies and the school, as well as any Individual in any |H ssi- ble way to advance the best-Interests of all. The rivalry we have for our brother society Is not due to a spirit of envy; we are justly proud that we have a rival t - inspire us to do our best work. During the commencement exercises of libl-l. a new feature was addcsl; this was an oratorical contest conducted by the Calhoun Society. In this way. we have Increased the number of contests for the lx ys of the school, and « pencd the door for an annual oratorical contests, in which both societies will take part this year. During the present school year, we have reached the high water mark in the history of the society. We have an enrollment of forty memliers and have had a large attend- ance at our meetings the entire year. treat possibilities lie in view for the Calhoun Society, and it is evident that its progress will continue as long as the school exists. • Law. C. Hkady. Payc Thirl g-M even 1 Clay Literary Society The students, alumnus, and faculty of Cary High School realizing the growing need of a Literary Society. In Inn... organized tin Clay I.Horary Six-lety. of which every Cary High School lioy was a member, for the purpose of fostering the Literary spirit among Its advanced students and encouraging the development of the valuable art of public-speak- ing. and cultivation of manliness, mind, and morals. The Society gained so rapidly and steadily that, in l!KM , it was divided into the Clay and Calhoun Societies, which have gained an equally rapid and steady growth; inso- much that they have only temporary quarters in the magnilleent new main building, the only hope for permanent halls being in the erection of a combination library and gym- nasium building. The Clay Literary Society has been ably represented in the public deitates, and decla- mation contests, and has often sent representatives to enter the inter-scholastic contests. We ever strive to bear out our motto: .Votare Sti tcrtirc Omiiibux,” and also that of him whose name we bear. Our members have been leaders in their high school life, equally so in their college life, making it quite evident that they will continue to Ik- leaders in the public life of their State. Harky W.

I mil so tired of it: Another Jny of the smile round of examinations Hint I hnve taken for the Inst three years. I have one every week! These were the thought of Josephine Weseott. She s:it up in I ms I mid mldied her sleepy eyes. It was n lovely morning: outside her window n little Mrd sang one of «lie tlrst songs of spring. She Imwed her head on her arms, and a prayer went out from her heart to God’s heart that she might not fail. In a measure. Josephine was like all the other girls. She was a little girl when she came to this hoarding school, but now she had grown Into a big girl of seventeen years. Her only mark of originality was her lack of neatness. There was always a pin left out or a hook she had not fastened. With the boys she was Jo Weseott. that Jolly girl.” With the girls she was just Jo.” Somehow, when site fastened those big. soft, grey eyes on you and her face lit up with a smile, you could not help hut feel that Jo had a soul In spite of the way she yelled when on the campus; mid if she did talk bluntly and loudly, you could feel that soul- because It was there. Often would she say things which in no way revealed the gentleness that she treasured in her heart. Some how. there was some- thing about Jo that wasn't like the n-st.

Jane finished her work in the room and went down for the mail on the hall table. •••Jo.' Jo.' called Nellie from the f s t of the steps, go to clut|icl with me. It’s only eight minutes lieforc time for the 1 11. fome on. right now. Jo snatched up her Itooks and grabbed her pencil. As she looked up. two faces smiled upon her from the wall. She thought, as she hurried on down the stc| s. how much these faces mcsiut to her and Imw necessary for her to succeed. Mo.' I wanted to tell you that you might go with me to Italeigh for the week-end if you wished and would lichave yourself. You are a darling. Nell. You are the very essence of gourd-vine. cried Jo, as she pinched her arm. The two girls talked on merrily as they hnrrhsl to cIiu|m I. looking forward to their trip with a great deal of pleasure. When chattel was over. Jo. went u her History examination. History had Iteen one of her favorite studies. She always loved this work: and, though she was thought of by the Faculty as Just a bright, uncultured girl, she loved the men who had made her country. With History, she took Kngllsh. ami always did she study these lessons with Joy. She loved the men who had fell these things of life so deeply. When the Ml tapped, the examination was on. Jo started to write. She answered the first and second, lait the third -what was that? She frowned. She read the other questions. There were several more, lait she didn't know them.

Mr. Italston had told her if she would come hack with the other girls in the afternoon, he would lie glad to give her a grade on History. Nell and .lo hurried back to the build- ing. All the lioys and girls were wanting their grades- “Jo waited patiently. Why was that uneasy feeling in her heartV When her time came. Mr. italston said, “Mo.’ I can't give you your grade now.” Her heart failed her. “I'll call you when I want you.” When he had finished, he took her into his room and locked the door.

Then that rough girl Imtked down in her heart and saw that site had sinned—she had stolen. It all came over her like a flood. “Mr. Italston.” she said, “it was cheating and. man. I am sorry. This is one day when (5ml failed me or I failed Him.” The hell tap|MMl. and “Jo” was stmt out and asked to wait for him until he should call her. She stood motionless and still. Was she in a dream? This meant expulsion: and then wildly this thought came to her. “What right have I to say what my soul feels— if it does a thing like that This day, what does it mean to me? It is only half gone.” The half hour she waited was more than an age to her. When he cat I led her, he told her what to do. “ Mo.’ sup]M� sc we let it drop where it is.

She had seen what life meant if she started out the wrong way. She now got a grip on herself, and she resolved to hold on forever. Who can tell the heights to which that girl will climb? And who can imagine the meaning of that day. to her? Yet. to the rest, she was only a girl and this was merely a day of school. Xoilroy liji rout in.

I’ll i r S i x I p - ir o Dean le Uhinc i It was a typical arctic «lay- indescribably cold and bleak. This was nothing unusual, for it had been a year or more since the two men, huddled over the lire, had seen the sunshine on the homeland. They were talking of home and loved ones, thus putting to liight the idea that they were rough, uncouth creatures, who cured for no person or thing, save self. They certainly looked the part, roughly dressed as they were, in furs. Only faces were visible, but after all. it is largely by these that characters are Judged. The older was a dark-skinned man. with sensitive features, sharply outlined, and Ills long, slender hands with tapering fingers could not Ik concealed by heavy gloves, but pro- claimed to tin world the liorn aristocrat. it was his eyes, however, that held «.lie's attention: there was something in their depths which gave one a sense of having looked into some sacred room, for surely no man would wilfully allow Ills associates t«i look through the windows into a soul which held much that is too sacred for the unsympathetic eyes of a curious world.

Kvcr since we left camp, six days ago. we have searched for sonmthlng that would furnish us f«iod. Not one thing have we found. If I may venture an opinion, we hud lietter break camp before we all perish, and make a dash for home drawing a long breath- - and sunshine. . how I long for the warm southern sunshine!” The chief knitt« d his brows and twirled his thumbs. It means much for a mail, who has made a stupendous sacrifice of time, money, and home ti« s. even t � consider giving up in acknowledged defeat. No. Hans. he answered finally, we must go on: we are to� near the goal to turn back in defeat now. V will br« ak camp and march tomorrow. Hrus«|ue as the words were, the tones of the voice told of a heart full of sorrow that his men must suffer so. Hut camp was not t«� lie moved s« soon, for next morning, le Hlanc was tossing about in wild delirium.

On the afternoon of the third day. he suddenly sprain; up. waving his anus excitedly, crying Vive I,a France! Ma rchons! Marehons! Then stretching out his arms he said, in a tenderly pleading voice: Oh. Ma Chf-re, my dear one. why should we quarrel? Send me not away, I l eg you—lieloved—Beloved. Then with a gasp, he fell Inick on his nide couch and sank again into unconscious- ness. After a long while, he opened his eyes, and seeing his faithful friend, murmured: Huns, I have seen her—my wife—In a dream, and I know now that I shall never liehold her dear face again. You must lind her. Hans, when I am gone, and tell her I was ever Innocent of the thing of which she lielleves me guilty. O. we were so happy—so happy—hut the serpent entered the garden in tin- form of suspicion, and I was too proud to defend myself when I stood accused by my own wife of a crime which had boon com- mitted shortly before: so in my bitterness of heart.

Some day I was going back to her. I thought, and we would have been happy -again. Tell her. won’t you Huns?” Hans, after many expressions of certainty of his friends recovery, promised, and le Blanc slept. Hans, too. tired out with his many duties, slept fitfully. Once, he heard the sick man saying to himself, softly: “The valiant never taste of death but once: of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death a neccessary end will come when It will come—a necessary end- -necessary- will come when it will the end— will come.” Then he seemed to sink into the sweet laweeful sleep of a tired child. When Hans awoke, he found his friend still and lifeless lieslde him. Almost rever- ently. he prciwred the body and left it there, with only a mound of ice and snow to mark the linal resting place of u man whose soul was frozen long Is-fore his body was forced to surrender.
