So it is no wonder that Cary has grown to be the school it is, for the Cary High School has always been fortunate in having the best sot of Committeemen in the State. They have always been am- bitious for the school, ami by their untiring efforts have made the school what it is. Dr. J. M. Templeton, a man who needs no introduction in North Carolina, has been a mem- ber of the Committee about twenty years. He is a very progressive man, and has kept the school from getting into a rut. Because of his progressive ideas, the school has maintained a high standard and kept pace with the times. It was through his efforts that the Cary Farm Life School was |K ssible. Mr. N. C. Hines is a most successful business man. Ho is a man filied with enthusiasm to the nth degree. In all things pertaining to the welfare of the school he has taken an active part, ever ready to lend a helping hand. Whatever he undertakes to do, he does. Of Rev. W. X. Johnson, another member of the Committee, we arc very proud. He is Cor- res|K nding Secretary of the Baptist State Board of Missions. Mr. F. It. Gray iesigned in 1918 and Mr. Johnson was urged to take his place. Although he has been one of our Committeemen but a few months he has boon of much value to the school. In the summer of 1918 the Committee was increased from three to five members. Mr. A. II. Pleasants and Mr. I). A. Morgan were the two additional members chosen. The choice of these was no mistake. Mr. Pleasants is a successful farmer. He has always stood by the school, and he is a man of broad views, looking out always for the future welfaie of the school. The boys consider him their friend, for Mr. Pleasants is interested in athletics ami very few games are played without him being present. Mr. Morgan is also a successful farmer, the evi- dence of which may be seen by his well-kept home and farm. He has always been loyal to the school. He is a good citizen who stands for everything that is for the betterment of his com- munity and school.

I chanced to come across some Annuals, and while examining them my eyes fell upon these words: “Chsite 1919 The oddness of the name decided that this would be tlie one I should read. When I opened the volume this line greeted my eyes: “ History of the Class of 1919” And this is how it read: The Growth of a Daisy Class ’Tis March the breezes from everywhere bring Daisy seed to Cary, and scatter them with a fling Into a meadow so strange and new, To be nestled in Mother Earth covered with dew. Freshman: ’Tis April—and the soft warm showers Begin to wake from sleep all the flowers, But the Daisy seed are jostled round And other roots try hard to keep them down. Sophomore: But alas! these brave seed begin to grow And peeping above the earth all in a row, They sparkle in the sunshine and the rain— Thus to beautify this meadow they remain. Junior: ’Tis May the rich notes of the mocking-bird From the meadow among the flowers are heard. And now Daisies, with stems so graceful and tall. Dance to the music of breezes best of all. Senior: ’Tis June; the meadow beautiful—a sheet of gold- And Daisies in full bloom we behold. The field is bright and happy because they are there For flowers with their courage arc very rare. Summer o’er—and from flowers we have to part. The winds once more with seed start Scattering them over all the Earth To take to others gladness and mirth. 34 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The air was balmy, the frolicsome zephyr was fragrant with the perfume of the flowers, the birds’ rhapsodies were filled with sweet melodies. It was spring! How could one keep from being glad? It was June. I love that month! Any month is beautiful in Western North Carolina, but especially June, for then the daisy fields art in full bloom. The daisies always bring memories of my High School days at Cary. And it was these memories that made me stroll one afternoon to the daisy field to read. I had more to read than the book: two letters from my High School classmates, Sallie Hunt and Effie Morgan. The one from Sallie was very thrilling, for she was to be married in a few weeks. And Effie wrote of her plans to take charge of a ten-teacher school. There I sat and mused half aloud. It was nineteen hundred twenty-nine. Ten years since we were at C. II. S. I wonder where the rest of us arc? I’d give so much to know. And in my day dream a fairy came with her magic wand. She invited me to come with her to Fairyland. There she would relieve my mind and show the whereabouts of the class of nineteen nineteen. I gladly went, and here is what I heard and saw in Fairyland: A farmer in a Carolina town, I find Parker Poole with honor’s crown. Before the court room, in graceful style, James Gathings wins cases all the while. There is Albertine, with her gentle nature— A trained nurse with a wonderful future. Pat-tie Hunter, the first in our State yet In the race for Senate— our Suffragette. Eliot Johnson lives there on a hill. A surgeon of ability and great skill. Some pedagogues with pupils green, Lillian and Dare make their intellects keen. Two musicians I liehold. with fames, Mary and Eugenia—those familiar names. Ah, a pretty queen now rules in state— Our own Pearl Phelps until of late. Ida and Blanche are writing a book To be used in school to teach girls to cook. 35 Guess whom I see in a Chatham town? Roy Cole selling groceries by the pound. And there is Holmes, very highly paid Editor-in-chief of the Saturday Blade. Annie Lee is still in quest of knowledge For she is studying at Vassal College. There! Someone roams the country wide It’s Ernest Heater and his bride. Inez Lynn, with a brush in her hand, Nothing in Art too hard to understand. A library so stately and big in Tennessee And Ina the Librarian is whom I see. Her highest ambition she’s realized at last For Pauline holds a gym diploma fast. A stately lady with nod and beck ’Tis Alice Pope keeping house for “ Peck. ” And in keeping with our belief A famous reader is Myrtle Keith. From Mobile Bay to the Bay of Fundy There is Bennie Wilson a Billy Sunday.” A children’s worker filled with zest Is Lovie Wood lecturing out West. With an ideal voice, and sweetest strain, There’s Mildred singing her glad refrain. With a big cigar, Oscar smokes away. Why? He's made president of a bank today. She moved her wand the spell she broke And I was happy when I awoke. 36 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1919 CARY HIGH SCHOOL State of North Carolina 1 County ok Wake City of Cary ) For and in consideration of the ones we leave behind, we, the class of ’19, after four years of toil, trials, joys, and sorrows, have successfully reached the stage of Seniority, and we do declare ourselves to be of sound mind and this to be our last will and testament.

Each day brings forth something new, such as rules, lectures, announcements, and various things. Let me tell you about some of the things that happen in one day. One tiny bell plays a big part, and is nearly always at the lx)ttom of our troubles. When I first entered boarding school I was awakened one morning by a bell ringing so loudly that it almost deafened me. I ran to the door at once, thinking something was on fire. When I dashed into the hall what should I see but the Lady Principal ringing this bell. She explained to me that this was the rising bell and time for me to dress for breakfast, so I began dressing very slowly, thinking 1 had time enough; and when I was about half dressed another bell rang. Everybody rushed out into the hall. 1 asked what that was. and the answer was: “That is the breakfast bell.” I went back and put on my shoes, just tying them without lacing. Things went on very smoothly at breakfast until we ate all the biscuits and had to wait for more to be cooked. While we were waiting the lady that supervised the cooking came in and said, “Girls, you are not allowed to speak while in the kitchen.” When we were almost through eating the hostess at our table came in. 1 began wondering how much sin could eat and how long it would take her. While 1 was looking at her somebody said, “Lookout!” So I looked out the door, and about that time a glass of water spilled on me, but I had to sit there as if nothing had happened. I always looked toward the table after that when 1 heard “Look out!” At nine-forty-five tin bell rang again, and this was called the “School bell.” Wc were all lined up back of the school building and told to “Stand straight, keep the line straight, and keep time.” 1 didn’t know what to keep time with, so I stood still, and I immediately heard somebody say, If you don’t mark time you will get five demerits,” so I began marking time, and when we got nearer the build- ing a teacher was clapping her hands and saying, “left, right, left, right.” 1 soon found that I was wrong, but could not change going up steps. When we entered the auditorium the music teacher was on the stage, calling the choir out, one by one. They marched to the stage and began scrambling for the back seat. Then they began singing. I was very much amused to see the Principal keeping time with his book. This he did by tossing his book up and down. Some ended the song with “amen,” while others were taking their seats. After this came the devotional exercises. The Principal asked if there were any announcements, and all responded with announcements about lost books, and there were so many that 1 decided it would be a bookless school, and I took mine and kept it grasped tightly in my hands for fear it too would disappear. The music teacher, though, had forgotten her daily announcement, so she stood up and said, Please pay for your sheet music.” This 72 reminded the Principal of his daily announcement, so he said, “and bring your money for Current Events.” There was another about a little disease called influenza. He explained the symptoms of this and how to prevent it. and ended up by saying. “ Xo students will be granted tin permission to go home week ends.” I didn't understand this, because some of the members of the Faculty went to a neighboring city nearly every night. They ended the exercises by cranking up the grafonola and having a “selection. as the Principal said. We were all sent to other rooms for our recitations. My first lesson was English, and the teacher began by saying, We will have an examination on Burke Monday, and I am going to make it as stiff as possible. and we had already been wishing that we had never heard of him. The next boll was the “dinner bell,” so we had peas, cabbage, bread, and water again, and this time everybody was on time. As I did not have any lesson in the afternoon. I decided that I would stay in my room. I began looking at the things in it, and about the first thing I saw was a big card filled with rules. I wondered if they were the same that we had heard before, so I began reading and found them to be a list entirely new. and one read, “(lirls must not stay in their rooms during school hours; if any girl is found in her room she will be demerited.” About this time I heard somebody in the hall, and then one girl said, “It is the Lady Principal! I didn’t know what to do. As I was near the closet I took that for my hiding place until I heard a girl on the first floor yell out that the Principal was gone. After school the bell rang, and somelxwly said, “Walking bell.” Of course I ran to see the bell walk, but when I got there it was the girls who had to walk. I happened to get on the siek list and did not go. I went back to my room thinking myself lucky. The Lady Principal soon came with all kinds of medicine, and I knew that I was going to be put to bed. I had to act my part, so I took several things, but I did hate to, and I haven’t been sick since. We all had to go to study hall that night, and that was the worst thing of all go to one of the class rooms and sit on hard seats for two hours. The others knew how to do, so they told me to take something to eat. I took peanuts, candy, apples, and other things. But they soon gave out, and some of the girls fell over on the seats asleep, while others tumbled over on the floor. The teacher was very much interested in something and did not see them for a long time. When she did discover this she made us go and wash our faces. I didn’t know whether she had found out that some of us hadn’t performed this task that morning or not. When we were again in our rooms we had so much to talk about that we had not finished when the lights went out. so we kept on talking, if it was dark. One of the teachers soon came out and said that those who were talking must report to the Lady Principal, but we decided that she could never find out who it was, so we just got quiet and soon were sleepy. We were snug in our beds and almost asleep when we heard an automobile stop near the building and voices were heard. 73 Soon they began to play the piano, and played so loudly and so long that I thought we were not going to have a chance to sleep any. I guess they thought we slept very soundly, and I wonder if they had to report to the Lady Principal. 1 think they should ring a bell next time she plays and have a music bell. That poor little bell did have so many names. And that school did have so many rules, and this ended one of those school days with so many horrors- and one that never will be forgotten. M. B. W.

The prisoners, most of whom had become accustomed to their misery after so many days of it. lay sleeping on tin filthy straw. There was a dull sound of snoring. At the only door to the cell stood a young American, listening intently. He alone among the prisoners appeared to be awake. Apparently being satisfied with the situation he stole noiselessly to the opposite side of the room, (letting on his knees he dragged away some straw and disclosed a small opening in the brick wall. Then he took a sharpened glass crystal from his pocket and began work. After scraping the mortar from between the bricks, he pulled them out one by one and piled them on tin ground beside him. Jack Carter, as he was known to his comrades, had been in the prison only a few days and had not given up the hope of escaping. Ilis fellow prisoners, from long experience, advised him to accept his fate, and tried to discourage him. knowing that even if lie escaped from the prison, which was doubtful, there was only one chance in a hundred that he could ever get back to the American lines alive. But Carter refused to listen to them. After working for about an hour he was rewarded with a whiff of fresh air which told him that he had at least a crack open. Working with renewed zeal by midnight Ik had made a hole barely large enough for a man to crawl through. Once more he went to the barred door. Hearing no sound he returned and, after some trouble, dragged his body cautiously through the opening. Once on the outside, he lay fiat on the ground for a few seconds, then carefully began to crawl towards a large building which loomed up on his right. The day before he had been working behind this building, and had discovered a small break in the charged wires. With this in mind he had laid his plans. Suddenly he heard muffled sounds which seemed to come from the other side of the building, and stopped at the corner to listen. Then he heard a whinny, and remembered that the house was used as a barn, and that the horses of the guards were kept under a shed at one end. With a sigh of relief he continued and soon found the spot he had marked. From his pocket he drew a match lie had bribed from one of the guards. Holding his hand to shield it from the air, he struck it carefully. The light flared up for an instant. Before him was the place he had seen. Anxiously he stared at it then he turned away in despair. Between the two posts new wire was stretched, strong, flawless and, worst of all, charged heavily with the fatal electricity. Then out of the still black darkness came another whinny, this time much nearer. Carter scarcely dared to breathe. Around the corner of the barn he saw a dark form. Then a felt a horse’s breath in his face. Putting up his hand, he felt a broken halter around the horse’s neck. Then he remembered. It was his first day in the prison when he had heard two Germans talking about a horse that 77 could fake a fence better than any other for miles around. The “Captain” they had called him. and had praised him. They had also said that this horse had been captured from the English and gave them so much trouble by getting loose that they had often threatened to kill him. ('arter decided that this must be the horse. ('arter loved horses and had ridden all his life. As he lay on the ground with his hand on Captain’s mane, a desperate plan formed in his mind. There was one place in the charged wire fence which surrounded the whole group of buildings where it was hardly higher than a man’s head. This happened to he at the point farthest from the prison. The top strands had been taken off and used for repair- ing another place. Of course he could not scale it without help, but what alxmt the horse? It was the work of a few minutes to get to the place, and Carter and Captain made it with scarcely a sound. The hoofs of the horses used by the guards were kept muffled so this was not so difficult. Once there, he examined the ground and surroundings as well as he could in the dark, and led the horse back. Seating himself on the animal’s back he gave a sharp command. The horse started off obediently, and Carter felt him gathering himself for the spring. The next in- stant he felt them go up in the air then he stood on the ground outside tin prison wires, and hugged the dumb rescuer. He had risked all, and gained all. For many days Jack Carter and his faithful horse traveled towards the Amer- ican lines. They had many narrow escapes, for of course the Germans pursued them, but finally they reached tin lines safely. And the Germans at the prison camp never saw cither of them again. M. II. W. Iff. 78 AN ADVENTURE WITH A BLIZZARD In a little town in the mountains, a girl was hurrying along the street, looking anxiously about. She appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with very dark hair and eyes. The reason for her being in town, this near sundown, was because she had ridden over on what she considered a very important errand. She had planned a party that night, and the old colored man that was sent after the supplies had brought back about half of them. As a result she had to come after them herself. She had mounted her favorite horse and started to town after them, and now she was ready to start back, and no horse could be found. She was sure that she had tied the horse when she started in the store, but where could it be now? The sun was now about an hour high. Could she walk three miles in an hour? She decided to try it. Instead of going the usual road she thought she would take a short cut and follow a little path in the woods. Paying no attention to the black clouds that were forming, she trudged onward. The sun was setting beyond tin mountains before she noticed how cold it had turned. She suddenly became aware that it was snowing. She knew that a blizzard was starting. It would be useless to try to go on, because she would soon lose her path in the blinding snow. To stay where she was meant death. She knew not what to do. She kept fight- ing her way through the snow, not knowing where she was going. All at once it seemed that a cabin loomed up before her. She stumbled up tlx steps, went to the door and turned the knob. To her great surprise tin door opened, and she walked in. The cabin was furnished with two beds, several chairs and a table with some books on it. She found a lamp and some matches on the mantel. She was about to light the lamp when she heard two men coming up the steps. She scrambled under the bed some way- she hardly knew how, while the two men approached. They made up a roaring fire and lit the lamp. The men seemed to be very well pleased with some good luck they had had. She heard money jing- ling. and she heard them counting it. She then heard one of them telling his ex- perience. It made her heart stand still to hear it. These men were robbers. She hardly dared to move, she was so scared. The blizzard had not proved to be so destructive, after all. It was now nearly over. The men went into the other room to cook supper, and took the lamp with them. This was her opportunity. She slipped out from under the bed as quietly as possible, and out the door. There was a shed out in the yard. Two horses were under it, and one looked very much like her own; on a closer examination she found that it was hers. These men had seen her tie it that afternoon, and had slipped it while she was in t he store. She mounted and was soon at home. Everybody was there for the party, and her adventure made it even more interesting. The next day these men were arrested, and lots of money was found stored - away in a secret place in the cabin. There is no doubt as to whom this went. 79 II. M. 1). ’21. ADVERTISEMENTS DeLUXE CLOTHING SATISFIES The shape is made not ironed in. and they are made by Stcin-BIoch, Hart. Schaffner Marx.
