For nearly two decades this school has occupied a foremost place among the secondary schools of the State. Even before 1896, when Prof. E. L. Middleton took charge, the school was doing a superior class of work under the intelligent guid- ance of such teachers as A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years, from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of Professor Middleton. Under his leadership the school building grew from a one or two-room structure to a building of sixteen rooms, besides an equal number of dormitory rooms, and from a teaching force of two or three, and a small boarding patronage, to eight teachers and almost a hundred boarding students. In 1907 the school was converted into the State High School, the stockholders selling out their interest to the county. A year later Pro- fessor Middleton resigned as principal to enter a larger field of work, and Prof. M. B. Dry, Principal of Wingate High School, was elected as his successor. In 1918 a new building was erected on the site of the old at a cost of $33,000, and equipped with every modern convenience. The old building was converted into a dormitory for boys. A year later the Cary High School was made one of the State Farm- life Schools by the generosity of the Templeton brothers, who donated sixteen acres of land for a farm, and of the citizens who subscribed $1,500 to provide suitable buildings and equipment for the farm. The latest addition to the school is a complete equipment of play- ground apparatus, the first to be installed in any rural High School in the State. The main building contains thirty-three rooms, and is provided with a kitchen, a dining and sewing room, a physical and chemical laboratory, and a dairy laboratory. The dormitories are provided with water, hot and cold, baths and toilets. A janitor’s home and a matron’s home are on the grounds. A model barn and farm cottage have been built on the school farm. The school now owns property worth more than $40,000. Principal M. B. Dry. s C H S I T E AN ACROSTIC G for Cary, bright and fair. A for Athletics that you'll find there. It for ltuddy girls and boys.

Since Thou art both in one by well earned right In making life for all Thy children bright : For students many- those who boldly face The college and its problems- truly trace Their Wisdom to Thy ministry of light: And many lives are nobler from the sight Of Thy ideals of love and truth and grace. And we are glad that yet Thou mayest toil: That through long years will Thy life be spent: That Thy great heart will be to uplifting lent: That Thy sane mind will rise, where errors soil Ideals of faith and courage, where the broil Of Ignorance and Vice hides true intent To stand for what character best has meant And true culture demauds, though errors spoil. ). Cary High School, now in love we rise, And as Thy pupils, hid farewell to Thee. —Port. 31 C H S I T E Senior Class History The Seniors were introduced into the Cary High School in 1912 as Freshmen. During the past four years we have been proud of the fact that we were advancing toward the end, until now we are known as “Dignified Seniors.” The work during our High School career has been marked with great success, although we have four distinct classes in our class: first, the good-timers; second, the get-through-by-the-skin-of-their-teethers; third, the get-all-they-canners; fourth, good workers; but our highest thought has been, “Will our names be written there?” Our career, during the Freshman and Sophomore years, was barren of any great success. We were simply drifting along preparing for our future work. We, as Juniors, made a record that has not been surpassed by any former Junior class. The Triangular Debaters were all Juniors. The Declaimer’s, Reciter’s and Debater’s medals were all won by Juniors. As Seniors, we have won the class championship in basketball. One of our members won in the Declamation contest, and our superior dis- cipline has maintained self-government in the dormitory. Three of the Triangular debaters this year were Seniors; five of the Commencement debaters were Seniors. At last we have finished our course. We look back over our school days and think how we have worked, flunked, and finished together. The bonds that have quietly retained us for the past years are now broken, and the largest class in the history of the institution must, in sorrow mingled with joy, leave the dear old Cary High School. 32 Historian. C H s I T E Class Prophecy In the spring of 1927 I was given a trip abroad. I had always had a desire to visit the Oracles of Rome, and also to see the beautiful scenery in Italy. After traversing the city of Rome for several days I came to one of the Oracles, but just now I cannot recall the name, because on entering I was overpowered by a dark mist or vapor-like cloud. Preced- ing this came a rumbling sound, and I seemed to be enchanted, then a voice spoke to me in very low accents with a question like this, “What would you rather know about than anything in the world?” I at once replied, “My classmates of nineteen sixteen.” Then the priest placed me in a very peculiar position and commanded me to be perfectly still. He said that I must keep my eyes in a straightforward look or my wish would not be granted. There came another loud, rumbling sound, and an exceedingly bright light showing a large stage. The first to be presented was our President, Mr. Bryce Little. He had completed his career at Cambridge University and was running for Senator, but his days were continually made happy by visits to Mt. Vernon. A sudden change and a great noise over the discussion of Governor for South Carolina was heard. Rodney Stephens gets the majority of votes with Cole Blease the political opposer. Now on the stage I see a beautiful mansion with Alma Barbee as queen of it. She completed her course in music at the Boston Conserva- tory, and then thought she would like to spend the rest of her days keeping house. Wondering who would be the next, suddenly there appeared a large class of girls. When observing very carefully, I see our precious little “Jewell” leading her classes in every subject. The priest tells me that she has taken the scholarship medal of a leading university away with her. As woman suffrage is the leading question of the day, Roselle Sears could not resist the temptation to vote, so she is thinking of spending her days as a world-wide suffragette. Gordon Olive thinks that perhaps since he has won so much fame as a political speaker that he will take the conscientious suffragette, Roselle, but she answers nay, “I would rather speak for you than to you” 33 C H S I T E Who should I see on the stage now running for President? Our Editor-in-Chief, Hubert Rhodes. After serving six months as Governor of New York he thinks that he would like to be a prominent figure all over the world, so he is getting the majority of votes for President. Lillian Dudley, after staying in Paris for quite a while, is seen on the stage in Chicago giving the latest steps in dancing, since it has been found that she is so graceful on the stage. Elsie Yarborough, after leaving Cary, graduated at the Normal in Greensboro, and has taken for her life work, school teaching. She thought it best to follow the example of the other old maids and let the boys go. The next scene shows that Grace Holleman, being very talented in dressing maidens’ hair, has put up a shop in Washington, and has acquired much practice, as this is the capital city and is likewise famed for its society. Next we see that Sanford Howie has graduated at Yale College, and is now seeking a spot in the city of Boston to erect a neat little bungalow for his mate. Mabel Adams immediately left Cary and went to Ithaca, N. Y., to pursue her course in voice, but one night after she had given one of her grand recitals, her fiance claimed her for his bride, and she is now living in the city of Ithaca. Sam Bobbitt, thinking that he would like to be a dentist, went to St. Paul and took training. He is known all over the United States for his skill in dentistry. A great sculptor is a wonderful thing. But, alas! who would ever have dreamed of Whitson Benton going to Italy to study sculpture? A great accomplishment is something wonderful, and Whitson has reached that height today. An artist and her masterpiece are now presented to me. So marvel- ous a sight has not been presented before. This is Lavine Waldo, and her masterpiece is her “Lost Lover.” Lukie Nichols always had her heart set on going to college, and we see that she is very happy indeed, now that she has graduated at Louis- ville, Kentucky. She is now thinking of going as a missionary to China, but not without her mate. Omer Goodwin, always dreaming of something that he might accom- plish noble, graduated at Wake Forest College, and afterwards became President of it. .34 C H S I T E At the same time that Omer went to Wake Forest, our bright little Nellie was at Meredith gaining knowledge, and on her graduation day they were married. In the next scene I behold that Lillian Peebles, on completing her High School career, devoted her time and talents to the writing of first- class novels. Several have already been issued, and her masterpiece is “The Williams.” Fannie Heater, after specializing in domestic science, accepted the position as mistress of a neat little bungalow in our capital city. The picture changed and showed that Ruby Garner went North to Columbia University to take elocution. We cannot understand why she wanted to specialize in it, but we think that it must have been for some grand purpose in the far away future years. And now a distinguished young lady, a graduate of Meredith College, and bride-to-be of Mr. Oscar Goodwin, is presented. This is our own and much beloved Gladys. I always dreamed that David would be a great man because of his wonderful intellect. The next scene shows that he graduated at the University of North Carolina, and is now going to France as a diplomat. Praises unto David. A great musician! Nothing more wonderful! Well, Pearl has pursued this, and has gained at last what she so much desired. She is now the leading pianist of the wide, wide world. Next I see that Buna, owing to her good disposition, won many friends as she continued her college career to a finish. After she com- pleted her course at Oxford, North Carolina, she settled down to live a “Pesky Old Maid.” But, alas! I find that her mind is running in another direction. Elva Templeton, though small in size, had a bright and wonderful mind, a thing to be desired by every one. She had always thought of being a school teacher, but she has given this up to go as a Red Cross nurse, as she thinks this is a higher calling. At last I see a small form on the stage of life acting as governess. Who should it be but our own dear Margaret? In the next picture what should I learn? Louise graduated at St. Mary’s, and thought that she would enjoy life traveling about over the country and just living easy. But in her travels she met with Burtis C H S I T E once more. He had graduated at Cambridge University and was a prominent lawyer in San Francisco. Burtis didn’t like the idea of her traveling alone, so he persuaded her to let him travel with her. Thomas Atkins, after going to A. M. College, decided to get mar- ried, but when he proposed he forgot how to spell the most important word, so he is still single because he forgot. The last picture on the stage was the picture of Maylon Atkins in his position as one of America’s leading physicians. He was the leader of his classes while in school, and we are not surprised to see him attaining this eminent position. Just as the last left the stage the priest vanished, and I was left all alone. I then went out and boarded a ship for New York, and on returning home made a special effort to let each one know what I had seen and heard while I was in the Oracle. “Alas! What a wonderful thing is life!” Prophetess. C H S I T E Class Will State of North Carolina, Wake County, City of Cary, Cary High School. We, the class of nineteen sixteen, of the aforesaid State, county, city and school, have through many and various trials and hardships, reached that long-desired position of seniority, having successfully passed that difficult chemistry and unspeakable solid geometry: Therefore, we declare ourselves to be of sound mind, and this to be our last will and testament. We, the Senior Class, one and all love Professor Dry devotedly, and with all sincerity we bequeath to him our gratitude, not only for his excellent work as a teacher, but also for the personal interest which he has given us during our High School career. To Miss Killingsworth, we will a position as English and History teacher in Cary High School as long as she wishes to stay, because we think she is very efficient. We bequeath to Mr. Howard, our Farm Life teacher, two more eyes, so that he may keep the students from cheating on his classes. To Miss Pryor, we bequeath a position on the lower hall, armed with an automatic shotgun and instructions to keep order. We will to Miss Howard a bright future and better music classes. To the Junior Class, we will all the prosperity and success possible. We leave to them our undisputed ability to pass. Also, we leave to them the sum of $1,000 to start their Chsite. To the Sophs, the important duty of caring for the Freshmen. To the Freshmen, we bequeath a reception all of their own. We request that the girls of said class shall have the boys call on them twice a year, provided their mothers or guardians are present. To Mrs. Wood, we will a crowd of boys who will get up in time for breakfast. In testimony whereof, we set our hands and affix our seal this the twenty-first day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixteen. (Signed) Class ’Sixteen, Per W. D.

II C H S I T E Junior Class History On September 1, 1913, we entered Cary High School with a determi- nation not only to equal any Freshman class of the past, but to surpass those heretofore, and to make a record that any class might feel proud of. During the first few days, and almost before we had gotten our studies straight, we organized our Sophomore class with a full force, and were soon ready to transact business, as a well organized class. We enrolled about twenty-seven members, all of which were determined to equal and improve the record of our Freshman year. Although we felt most as dignified as the Seniors, we did not forget to be friendly to the Freshman class and to extend to them a welcoming hand. We did not make them lie low and ride the trunks, as we had been called on to do when first we entered Cary, for we wanted to set a new example for the future Sophomores, and to banish that stern rule. When we went out on the athletic grounds this year we proved that one of our members should be a Varsity basketball player, and that six others should be Varsity baseball players. We also took an active part in the tennis club. We returned August 30, 1915, to go on record as Juniors. We at once organized as an active band of co-workers. We enrolled about twenty-seven members, and decided to meet once a month to carry out a short program which has proven very helpful to each one throughout the entire year. We have enjoyed the social side of school life as well as our class- room work. Besides the various receptions of the school, we gave a Junior reception January 15, 1916, which was well attended and enjoyed, most of all, because it was the best according to our way of thinking. Judging from our Sophomore year, we found ourselves invincible on the athletic fields. Five out of eight of the basketball players were Juniors. Out of eleven baseball players the Seniors were able to put on one and the Freshman class one. The rest were Juniors. We also equaled any other class on the track team and tennis courts. So, with such a past, we can but hope for a brighter Senior year. With the help of every member we can make the year our best, and we shall try to do so.

I LA •ir C H S I T E Sophomore Class History In order to write the true history of our class, it is necessary to begin with the first school days of its members. The majority of our members did faithful work in the first seven grades taught in the country schools, before entering Cary High School, while the others have been Cary pupils all their school life. During the school year 1914-T5 they did creditable work as Freshmen. The class organized in the fall of 1915 for the purpose of rendering aid to “The Banner Senior Class” in getting out the second issue of the Chsite. The members of our class as a general thing have been very studious, but even then the social side of life has not been neglected. Entertain- ments of various kinds have been attended, among which was a reception given by the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. The membership of our class consists of twelve boys and fourteen girls, these hailing from the two counties of Wayne and Wake.

In view of this, there has been established and built up a strong Music Department, and it is given generous support. This department is equipped with four pianos, a victrola, a nicely furnished studio and three practice rooms. During the last two years about seventy-five girls have enrolled as music students. It is our purpose to make this work interesting and attractive to these girls, and at the same time to make them see that the proper study of music is an education—not a pastime. The course consists of Musical History, Theory of Music and elementary work in Harmony, besides the regular piano work. Those who are interested in the department have long been aware of the fact that the greatest need of the student is an ideal worthy of the art. Recently a concert course has been arranged for the school, which has proven highly beneficial along this line. Musical Raleigh, and the music faculty from the various colleges there, have given us their best talent in order that programs that are worth while may be put on. It is our plan to make this course a permanent thing, because it not only furnishes ideals for the students, but it also gives the people of the com- munity an opportunity of hearing good music, thereby raising the standard of community music. In considering the work done by the school during the last few years, it is true that the Music Department has held its own, and it is believed that the time is near when music in Cary High School will be placed on a par with other lines of intellectual effort and development as an equal factor in education and the acquirement of culture.

WILLIAMS CO VIEWS—FARM LIFE SCHOOL C H S I T E The Farm-Life School The farm life school is practically a new institution in North Caro- lina. Four years ago the leading educators of Guilford County conceived the idea of making the country schools relate more directly to the needs of the country people. They pushed the proposition, and as a result three farm life schools were established in that county. These schools attracted so much attention that the next Legislature passed an act appropriating funds for the maintenance of such schools in connection with the State High School wherever the citizens of a community would furnish the school farm and the required equipment. At the present time there are nineteen of these schools in operation, and several more will open their doors at the beginning of the next school year. In the past our schools have been molded to fit the ten per cent who intended entering the different professions, while the ninety per cent who remain in the country to dig their living from the soil have been disre- garded. Our rural communities need, and have a right to demand a good, practical, scientific education in agriculture. The country boy needs, and has a right to demand, that he shall have as good training for his life work as his brother who enters one of the professions. It was to meet this obvious need that the farm life schools have been established. In the farm life school the agricultural subjects are not taught to the exclusion of the other subjects. The student in agriculture is not deprived of the literary training that is so essential to the making of a well-rounded man and that which will add so much to his happiness in after life. The only change that has been made in the old system is the substitution of agricultural subjects for Latin. Briefly stated, the Cary Farm Life School offers the following course in agriculture along with the regular literary work: The first year is devoted to the general principles of agriculture, which serves as a foundation for the three following years. In this year the student also receives training in farm carpentry. In the shop the students are taught the use of tools, and each student is required to construct such things as are needed on the farm. The second year is given to the study of field crops, fruit growing, 62 C H S I T E and vegetable gardening. In the subject of field crops the student learns the different soils, fertilizers and systems of cultivation that are best adapted to the various crops. He also receives practical lessons in seed selection and seed testing. In fruit growing the student is taught the best location for orchards, how to set trees properly, budding and grafting, the proper methods of pruning, and the best sprays to use and how to apply them. He also receives training in the grading, packing and mar- keting of fruit. In vegetable gardening the students construct hotbeds and cold frames for the starting of early plants on the farm garden. Each student has a garden plot on the school farm to plan and cultivate for himself. Here he becomes familiar with the various vegetables that should be grown on the farm. The third year is devoted to the study of live stock. Here the student learns the different breeds of farm animals and their characteristics. He also receives practical instruction in the feeding of farm animals, live stock judging, breeding, dairying, and poultry raising. The fourth year is devoted to the study of soils, farm management, and rural economics. Under the subject of soils the student learns the types of soil and their treatment, the laying of terraces, and the best methods of drainage. In farm management he learns to apply business methods to farming. Rural economics is largely devoted to the study of marketing problems. We feel that the Cary Farm Life School is doing a great service for the boys of Wake County by placing within their reach a practical train- ing in agriculture. The Cary School is not satisfied to train men to produce more grain to the acre, or more pounds of meat from a balanced ration, but the students are being shown how to become leaders in their communities; how they may “make agriculture a fine, progressive art, which in future shall provide a more stable and satisfactory basis for thrifty, intelligent, refined and happy rural communities.” J.

C H S I T E The Value of Little Things in Life Life is what man strives for, works for, and hopes for. It is not valued by the number of years which one is allowed to spend on earth, but it is measured by the good and friendly deeds which he does. It is true that some people die young, and yet they may have had just as much of life as those who live to a ripe old age. If we are to get the most out of life, we must do the little things cheerfully. The giving of a cup of cold water is a very small thing, but the world is made up of just such acts, and without them life would not be worth living; without them life woud lose its charm. Life should mean much to us—more than merely a livelihood or selfish living and striving for our own aggrandize- ment. We should live for others, ever striving to help our fellowman. When we stop to consider life as it is, it is to our sorrow that we face the truth, for we remember that life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which we possess, but life, in the true sense of the word, means living for our fellowman. If we fail to conform to these truths we have fallen short of what is justly expected of us. How often do we see our brother struggling for real life, and some- times almost despairing, when even a kind word or deed would help him to raise his head above the flood. Yet we stand idly by and never offer to lend a helping hand. Perhaps we think it would be such a small thing that it would not count for much. So we decide to wait until we get the opportunity to do something great for him, and that never comes. Wouldn’t it be well to remember that it is the little things in life that count? All of us can do these small, friendly acts, while only a few are chosen to do the things which the world calls truly great. After all it is the small things that make our lives sublime and leave footprints on the sands of time. 0. K.

His skill in close guarding and dribbling has won him applause from all. He has the “pep” it takes to win, and is in the game all the time. He has also been one of the mainstays of the team in goal shooting. “Big” Upchurch, a star guard, is always there with the goods, and gets around excellently to be as large as he is. He is in the game all the time, and we can rely upon him to guard his forward to a standstill. In the games “Big One” has played, he acquitted himself well. Sam Bobbitt played his first year as center. He found it easy to get the tip-off nearly every time, and has played phenomenal ball. Sam is in the game from beginning to end, and always has the “pep.” A characteristic of Sam is shooting goals when his guard is on him, as well as when he is not. Bryce Little, a star forward, played his second and last year with us. He won fame in two positions this year, as manager and as forward. He was on the job arranging the schedule as well as in the game. He can cage the leather nearly every time, and has surpassed any man on the team with scores. His excellent passing and dribbling through the lines is noted by all. Ivey Ranes played the last half of the year as a regular guard, but later was shifted to sub-guard. He made an able and reliable substitute, and it was only by the good work of the more experienced Banks that he lost first place. He works all the time and never says a word. “Jack” Womble was an aspirant for Varsity honors this year, and by hard work he won a place as sub-forward. Jack is a good, level- headed player, and by next season he will be one of the team’s mainstays. Paul Sauls, a sub-forward, by his enthusiasm and hard work, played his first year with the team. He passes the ball well, and is quite adept in shooting goals. He is steady, and does his work well. Howie, captain, the swift little forward, has been one of the main- stays of the 1916 team. He is a combination of grit and “pep,” and always keeps a cool, clear head. His superb passing and all-round form has won him notice from college teams. He is very skillful in shooting foul goals, and has never failed to secure points during a game. He uses his size to great advantage in dodging, and often has his guard looking for him. 77 C H S I T E Basketball Record, 1916 Eleven scheduled games in all were played, in which Cary scored 264 points and her opponents 157.

Cary High School played one practice game with the Sophomore Class of A. M. College, losing to them by the score of 30 to 20. This was the first game of the season, and of course the latter part was much better than the first. An analysis of these facts reveals that, taking into account all High School games played, the quint won nine out of twelve. Cary was also a contestant for the Eastern Championship of the State. The final game was staged at Durham between Durham High School and Cary High School. This game was hard fought from begin- ning to end, and Cary never gave up until the whistle blew, but in spite of all these facts Cary lost. 7S IV'YH.L TIViLLUMSVil .S UIIJ) C H S I T E so C H S I T E Miss Alice Upchurch liascball Sponsor SI BASEBALL TEAM C H S I T E Baseball Schedule, 1916 J.

But this is not to discuss the enlarge- ment of the army and navy, but the enlargement of ourselves—individual preparedness. Naturally the thing that should confront us most while we are in High School is, are we doing our best to prepare ourselves for life? Are we helping the “other fellow” to prepare himself for life? The majority of us will enter life without sufficient training, very little decision, and absolutely no experience. We should grasp the fact that success in any phase of life comes to those who can fill their positions just a little bit better than any one else. If we want to be successful, we must be efficient; we must be thoroughly prepared for our work; we must be interested; we must be able to give good service and know what good service is. Make each day count, whether at work or at play. Know what you have to do, and do it just as well as it can be done. The thing that counts most in life is efficiency, and that makes you worth something to your town, your State, to your employees, and to those who may employ you. If we are prepared for success in life, then we cannot expect any- thing but success. We must cultivate our initiative. We must open the reservoirs of inductive thinking if we wish ourselves to know what success is. There never were so many opportunities as there are today. How many of us are taking advantage of them? We must cultivate a creative attitude of mind and learn not only to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves, but learn to look for them, cultivate faith in ourselves, and when we start to do a thing, make an art of it. We must not rely on friends and money for a “pull.” We must make sure of our efficiency, and we will open channels for that productive power which will bring us success. sc W. B. W. C H S I T E High Finance Pug Tompkins was lying lazily on his back, his left leg carelessly crossed over his right knee, and with all five of his bare toes pointing skyward. But Pug himself was not interested in these details, for his gaze was fixed upon the apple tree under which he was lying, and it happened to be a winter tree at that, so as it was only the middle of July he knew only too well that he could not lie until the fruit changed its color, yet once or twice he started to arise, and at least get the taste of apple in his mouth, but upon second thought he remembered that green apples did not agree with a certain part of his boyish anatomy, and he gave it up as useless and resumed his position on the ground to continue his interrupted thoughts. A chicken hawk circling far overhead caused him to remember a notice he had seen at the postoffice that morning stating that, as chicken hawks had become a common nuisance in the village, any one of the town officials would pay to the person who delivered to them a chicken hawk a bounty of twenty-five cents. For a moment Pug pictured himself as the possessor of a hawk proudly marching up to the mayor’s door and haughtily demanding his quarter, but as he had no visible way of obtain- ing the necessary hawk, he soon put aside this means of making money as impracticable, and let his thoughts drift into other channels until at length he fell asleep. Upon awakening he discovered that the old board fence and trees around his home that had only a few minutes ago been as barren as a desert in the summer time were now gayly bedecked in the blazing announcement of a coming circus. How they got there Pug did not know, but that they were there was certain, so he went over at once to investigate, and as he stood devouring the announcements he also worked up in his mind a neat little plea to make his father give the permission and cash necessary for a trip to the circus. But alas, something went wrong. To be sure he received permission, but when he requested the cash the only answer he got was, “Git it then. I ain’t got no money to fool away on no circus.” And to Pug’s way of thinking, to make fifty cents between then and Saturday was an impos- sibility. Saturday came and found Pug no better off financially than he had 87 C H S I T E been on the preceding Wednesday, so to hide his disappointment he went and seated himself upon the fence where he could see the circus bills glaring at him from every tree and fence on the road. His condition can well be compared to that of Tantalus and a drink of water—so near, but yet so far. When he was just upon the point of giving up the idea of circus in despair, he happened to glance for a moment at the dusty road beneath his resting place, and there he saw half buried in the dust a silver coin. With a cry he jumped down and quickly extracted it from its hiding place, then with an exclamation of disgust stood staring, not at the coveted half dollar, but at a disgustingly new and shiny dime lying in the palm of his hand. Deciding, however, to make the best out of the situation, he pocketed the coin and started on a leisurely stroll toward the village. But he was not to reach there on schedule time, for right here opportunity knocked in the form of a woe-be-gone looking negro, laboriously plodding along the road, holding a large, fierce-looking, but quite dead, chicken hawk by the feet. Pug was not the kind to let an opportunity like this pass unheeded. Seeing that the negro was a stranger in his locality, and therefore could know nothing of the notice at the postoffice, a daring plan came into Pug’s head. He stopped the negro and started to bargain for the hawk. The negro wanted a quarter; Pug offered him a nickel, so after bargaining for a while they compromised on a dime, and the money and hawk changed hands. With his hawk under his arm, his heart and pockets equally light, he started off to put his plan into execution. The plan was briefly to sell the hawk not to just one of the six officials, but to all of them. To put this plan into operation required rather more nerve than most boys of Pug’s age possess. But he was getting desperate, and he knew that to get to the circus he would have to get the twenty-five cents bounty for his hawk and at the same time retain possession of the hawk until he had seen all six officials. At the first three officials he visited his plan worked out perfectly, so with three quarters jingling in his pockets he went up to see old Squire Jones, who had a notoriously vicious temper, and who had a bull dog that was respected by boys and tramps alike. This nearly caused Pug’s 88 C H S I T E undoing, for the Squire upon paying the quarter took the precious hawk away from him and threw it over the back fence fairly into the jaws of the waiting bulldog. He then hobbled into the house. This left Pug dumfounded, for at the other places it had always been easy to “swipe” the hawk back again as soon as the unsuspecting officer had gone back into the house. But here it was different, for he could never get that hawk while the dog was playing with it, preparatory to eating it. But here a bright thought struck him. He dashed off to the butcher’s, and in a few minutes returned with a chunk of beef which he threw over the opposite side of the yard. As the dog raced after it, Pug scrambled over the fence and came back with the hawk, which he had no difficulty in working off on the two remaining officials. So with a light heart and heavy pockets, whistling a melodious mix- ture of “The good old summer time” and “When the circus comes to town,” he started on his homeward journey. Here, after a few necessary preparations, he left for the circus grounds. There, after lounging around with chums, carelessly jingling his fortune—to their unconcealed envy and amazement—he proudly bought his ticket and went inside the tent. With his nose buried in a glass of pink lemonade, the pockets of his Sunday best filled with popcorn, and his free hand guarding his treasure against pickpockets, he saw Bing’s Greatest Show on Earth begin its evening performance.

C H S I T E A Good-Bye Four years we've spent in the High School walls. The happy hours have sjhhI on winged foot.

To you, dear class mates, a word of cheer to tell: Lot’s ever work -the world for workers prays To college comrades on. and fare thee well. —H. Ij.
