Vol. 3 (WRY Ii KHI SC HOOL ’.UiK There is in the heart of every boy and girl, regardless of the depths of sin and indolence into which they have fallen, some spot that irresistibly responds to the memory of those sacred names, father and mother. There is some chord even in the heart of solid stone, that may be made to vibrate sweetly in response to the impulse of those two friends that mean more to the life of every boy and girl than any other earthly gift that God can give to them. Human nature, in all of her wise provisions for the life of man. reserves a secret, secluded corner in the heart of the innocent child where lies an undying affection, an imperishable love for father and mother. But the tire of this tender affection of childhood too often is allowed to become overshadowed bv the sin of negligence and the selfish pleasures of the world. Ah! how hopelessly short we all fall of repaying the debt of love we owe to that mother who has nourished us from childhood, who has gladly given the pleasures, the hopes, the joys of her own life for our own well being, and who has offered so many midnight prayers and toiled so many weary days in our behalf, while we passed on with cruel heedlessness and indifference. There is nothing in life that costs so much as motherhood—no other lot that calls for so much patience, forbearance and self-sacrifice as that of a loving, steadfast, and faithful mother. Ah! too, how unpardonable great is the lack of respect and love that we show to father- that long-suffering, self-sacrificing father who is ever watchful of our welfare regardless of the interests of self, who remembers us when we have even forgotten ourselves, who takes loving heed of our health, our work, our aims, our plans, and who puts forth his first and his noblest efforts vo give us great opportunities in education, religion, society, and to give us an ele- vated position in life superior even to that of his own. It was this immeasurable failure of human beings to fulfil their duty to mother and father that inspired the Divine command: “Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long on the land the Lord, thy God givetli thee.” Then it behooves us as bovs and girls, young men and young women, to ever hear in mind the sacred meaning of father and mother to our lives and to strive unceasingly, with our many superior opportunities, that they have given us, to accomplish something worth while that will bring honor and glory to their names. Then let us bless the name of Father In song ami story sweet : “Thank (iod for the name of Mother And write it at Ills feet. ('. It. II.. IT.

M. 1 KM l’LETOX Standing back of the students in every clean and worthy enterprise is the school committee of Cary High School. Through their progressive spirit there stands in Cary to-day a school among schools, whose worth and standing is recognized throughout the State. Not being contented with a new thirty-three room brick school building, they have within tin last year erected a new modern brick dormitory for the girls and have plans for a similar one for the boys. Like wise when called on for support in other lines they have come to our aid as far as possible, equipping all three athletic teams with uniforms and providing an out- door playground apparatus. In appreciation for these services and their support we deem it a pleasure to here- with present their pictures.
