Page Tiedve % Page Thirteen Editorial The Cary Public High School traces its origin hack to the j ixtiei. This com- munity was evolved from the economic and social conditions following the destruction of the Southern plantation system by the Civil War. The families of the Southern planters who gathered here and with that harbinger, A. Prank Page, one of the cap- tains of industry of this section of the State, and a type of man who came to the front in the post-bellum days—these people had a deep-seated conviction of the value and worth of an education. Realizing this need, they soon erected a creditable building devoted to the instruction of the youth of the community; and after the fashion of that day called it ‘“The Academy.” Mr. A. II. Merritt, a scholarly man, was the first prin- cipal. And yearly thereafter boys and girls could drink here some, if not deeply- of the Pierian spring. £ The early records of our school were preserved largely by tradition. Among those who strove in the early years “to teach the young idea how to shoot” were Rev. Solomon Pool, a former President of the University of North Carolina; Prof. W. L. Crocker and Rev. Jesse Page. In the early nineties the school was conducted by Misses Loulie and Lily Jones, daughters of Mr. Rufus 11. Jones, who led in the estab- lishment of the academy. In 18%, under the leadership of Rev. C. W. Blanchard, a corporation was formed which purchased the school from the Misses Jones. Mr. F.dward Lee Middleton was elected as the first principal of the Cary High School. Me was principal for twelve years, and through his unflagging energy and large vision, a substantial place was established for the school. This place has been maintained by his able successor. Mr. M. B. Dry. Some of the early students who have attained prominence were Walter Hines Page, Ambassador to England; Henry A. Page, State Food Administrator, and Robert H. Page, former Congressman and now candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. In 1907 the State High School Law was passed, and Professor Middleton and his associates, “divining the signs of the times,” converted the Cary High School into the first State high school, the Cary Public High School, April, 1907. Beginning with the Cary High School in 1896, a boarding patronage developed which has been increased through the years. The buildings and dormitories were enlarged from time to time until the present plant was developed, which comprises six buildings, valued at more than $100,000. In 1918 the main building was erected. The next year the facilities were provided and a farm-life school and a domestic science department were added. The present Page dormitory for girls was constructed in 1916. There is now being built a large dormitory for the hoys, which, if due regard for the fitness of things is observed, will be named the Dry Dormitory. Now, gentle reader, we have given you some of the steps in the external develop- ment of our school, where many boys and girls have been fitted for lives of larger usefulness. The spirit of this noble institution will appear more conspicuously in the other features of this work. A wise man has said, we cannot understand the present unless we know something of the past, and we, after having tried to minister to you in this latter respect, invite you to the living present depicted in these pages.

As the history of the world during the four long years of the World War is interesting to that same world, so is the history of the Class of Nineteen-twenty, covering our four years of high school life, interesting to us as a class and as individuals. September, nineteen-sixteen, was a memorable date in the career of the Class of Twenty, for it was then that we emerged from the elementary school and entered into a higher and more difficult sphere. We came to C. II. S. feeling ourselves as import- ant as any one of the classes; but we were soon to change our minds, for everywhere we could hear that direful refrain, “0, you bald-faced Freshmen, you had better lie low!” so popular among the Sophomores at that time. Hut after several days of this there never was a more humble or meek-looking class than ours; although we were exceedingly proud to be allowed to sit in the study hall without a teacher. By the opening of the spring term we had become pretty well “salted down,” and we began to realize that there was hard work in store for us if we wished to succeed the Sophs next year. September, nineteen-seventeen, found us back at C. H. S. and ready to do our duty as Sophomores. There was quite a number of new members, minus a lot of old ones, but we went to work with a vim. This time Professor Dry tried a new plan for the study hall by instituting self-government. For some reason it did not work very well, and the girls were taken back into Miss Killingsworth's room to study. Our Sophomore year was proving to be so different from what we expected, the work was so hard, and no one paid half the attention to us we imagined they would. But well do we remember those field trips we used to take on Botany, and how we did cal apples and dig peanuts while pretending to be hunting bugs on Zoology! But soon those good times were to cease, for an epidemic of measles was approaching. We remem- ber with horror its visit to our class. Then came County Commencement and daily drills and lectures by Miss Killingsworth on how to have a neat appearance in the parade. The day came and our hearts sank as it approached, for it was raining and there would be no commencement. Very soon after this our most pleasant and event- ful term came to a close. Vacation being ended, we started our Junior year with a rush, for the end of the way was approaching. But, alas! the “flu” broke out and the dreadful days that followed brought daily “flu” lectures from Professor Dry on the importance of keep- ing away from Raleigh. Later, school was entirely suspended, and while the school was taking a vacation, two great events look place in the history of our class and Nation; namely, the burning of the boys’ dormitory, which caused us sorrow; but of greater importance still to us, as well as to our entire Nation, was the signing of the armistice, which brought much happiness and great rejoicing into the hearts of so many. As we bade farewell to the Class of ’Nineteen, we felt then that the responsi- bility of the Class of Twenty really was ours. It is September again, nineteen-nineteen. At last we are Seniors, and many things have happened since the eventful year nineteen-sixteen, when we started our Page Nineteen career as “freshies.” Not only lias our class accomplished much, hut our school has steadily come up to the top. We have a splendid athletic standard, a code of honor and self-government on a larger and more successful scale. Three of our boys won honors for us at Chicago at the International Live Stock Show, and we’re proud of them. Another epidemic of “flu” darkened our later months of school life, hut, thanks to Miss Killingsworth and Nina Harlsfield, a member of our class, the many patients in the dormitories received all the care and attention that could he desired. A committee was also sent from the class to do relief work in and around the town. So all went well. As great things have happened in the past for the Cary High School, we are hoping for just one more this year while we are still students. We hope the debaters from C. II. S. in the coming triangular debate will win the trip to Chapel Hill for the final contest, but most of all do we hope that it will be won by members of the Class of Nineteen-twenty, that we may leave to the school something that we and the school may long remember and be proud of. And. facing this the untried juture. We will seek where duty lies. Rejoicing that the bow of promise Arches for us the morning skies.

Page Thirty-four Prophecy of the Senior Class of Nineteen-Twenty It was late in the afternoon of a hot June day in 19150. I was hurrying down a crowded street in Paris, tired and weary. The crowds were pouring past with faces and hearts turned homeward. My work had been hard this particular day, for it meant the completion of a duty which had kept me in France for eighteen long months. I had been engaged in a work that meant much to me, but still more to the waifs and orphans of France. I had been helping to formulate and establish a system by which to provide the proper food and clothing for them. I thought of my home in America, and how glad I should be that I would soon be on my way there. Meditating in this manner. I glanced up. A man in passing had slipped into my hand a folder, which had the picture of quite an attractive woman on it. How strangely familiar the face looked to me! but place it 1 could not. 1 thought of all my acquaintances, but it was of no avail, for there had been so many whom I had met in my work there. The face puzzled me, so 1 read what the poster had to say. and learned that this artist was to play there the following evening. Unforunatcly the name had been torn off, so I was puzzled more than ever. I tried very hard to remem- ber where I had seen that face, because I was sure now that I had seen it somewhere. There was something strange about this woman, anyway. So I decided I would go to hear her. Then I would, perhaps, be better satisfied. The next evening found me at the theater, waiting impatiently for the concert to begin. The curtain rolled up and out stepped the celebrated lady of the folder. As she smiled and bowed to the audience, my heart bounded up and I half rose in my seat, for who should this lady be but Mable Wilson, my dear old schoolmate and a member of the graduating class of nineteen-twenty. I was so excited that I could hardly wait for the concert. But finally it was over, and I rushed to her dressing room to let myself be known. She invited me to visit her apartments. 1 learned that after graduation from an American college she had been in Europe for some time, studying music. This had been her first concert, and she was leaving for America the next day. Our conversation was along many lines, and finally it drifted to our Class of Twenty and its members. She had kept in touch with some of them, especially Ruby Honeycutt and Emma Womblc, who had been over some time studying. Ruby was studying piano and Emma voice. They were in the same college, and were soon to make their debut. Melzar Jones was in Italy, studying music. I learned that Alba Williams was a famous play-writer, and that Lyda had become a celebrated movie star and took the leading part in Alba’s plays. Wyatt Nichols, after graduating from one of the best dental colleges, had become a very successful dentist and settled in one of the large Western cities. I learned that Elvin Caudle, after much work, had at last secured a seat in the Supreme Court as a judge. And our friend, Charles Honeycutt, had become a dignified professor of mathematics in one of the leading colleges of the country. Mary Coats and Grace King, after finishing college and taking a special Latin course, were professors of that wonderful language. Mary was at the Normal and Grace at Meredith. I was told that Myrta Woodard and Leone Luther, after Page Thirty-five finishing school, had become very efficient business women, and were fast building for themselves a great career. Durward Upchurch had married and was a prominent business man in Chicago. Mable had been invited to accompany a party to America in an airplane, and when she learned that I was leaving in a few days, she insisted that I join them. This, of course, was a treat to me, as I had never had the opportunity to take a flight in an airplane, so I readily accepted the invitation. I was old that the aviator of this plane was an American secret service man, and just returning to America. And when I saw him, who should it be but Trubie Thrailkill? He told me that lie had just been on an errand for Uncle Sam that meant a great deal to the United States. I asked him if he knew anything of any of the old class members of nineteen-twenty. He said that he happened to know where several of them were. Clive Kalman, after going to college for some time, had at last equipped himself for the duties of a minister, and had charge of one of the leading churches in Washing- ton, 1). C. Claude Crisp was editor of one of the leading magazines of the day. Sudic Jones and Cosabel Riggsbee were teachers in a college in Boston. Soon after finishing school, Alma Jones and Nina Broadwell were married, Alma having thfe good fortune of securing a progressive young farmer, and Nina a promising young doctor. They were then living near their old homes. Nina Hartsfield, after specializing in home economics, had become a famous home demonstrator. And Julian Elliott, I learned, was a professor of Bible in Harvard I niversity. Reba Butts and Lucy Lee were both happily married and the proud possessors of beautiful homes. When we arrived in New York I learned that a very prominent doctor had claimed for his bride our dear friend and classmate, Nannie Reams. They were oil’ on their bridal tour just at that time, but were expected back home soon, and were to he given a reception by their old friends, Lawyers G. E. Upchurch and F. G. Seymour of that city. Oh, what a reception that was! Of course I was there and met some more of my old class members. Louise Hartsfield, the great French teacher, was present; Mary Womblc, who was athletic director of Yassar College; also, Maggie Wooten, one of the foremost leaders of woman suffrage. The great doctor, Lucille Johnson, of Buffalo. N. Y.. and her special nurse, Alenc Luther, were there. After looking around for awhile, 1 found the successful and popular detective, Willie B. Fuller, and one of America’s most popular novelists, Helen Elliott. But there were still some other class members that I had not seen, so I immedi- ately inquired about them. I learned that Thelma Jones was acting lady principal of a high school in Missouri. Lethia Jones was matron of one of the North Carolina orphanages. Ruth BufTaloe, after finishing at the Greensboro Normal, was teaching science in one of the high schools in Colorado, and our old friend, Susie Reams, had been sent to Washington as one of the Senators of North Carolina. My! hut it was great to find just where all the class members of Twenty were, and what each one was doing.

Immediately we remem- bered that this project had been presented to Junior classes in the past, hut they did not undertake the task. We believed that our class could do this. Somehow, we thought that it would he a great deal to our credit to do something which others had failed in doing. We elected our editorial staff for the first issue. It was understood that each issue should have a new staff. This was to give more members experience in this phase of the work. Then we faced the problem of giving our school paper a name. Each member of the class had a suggestion. We decided by ballot, and the C. II. S. Echoes was chosen. November came and we had our first issue of the Echoes, the first school paper that had ever been published in the Cary High School. This issue was received very heartily by both students and friends of the school. We had hardly dreamed that it would he received in such a way. We were very happy over this, and determined that we would publish it once a month until school closed. Then we set to work to get subscriptions and advertisements, for we knew that we had to look out for the financial side of our paper. Soon we had enough subscriptions to justify us making it a monthly paper. Each time in the paper we tried to give school news in general, articles from the various departments of the school, and a few local advertisements. It increased in quality each lime. It was especially beneficial to the English department, for it served not only to furnish material for themes, but also a stimulus for better theme work. Ralph I). Clements.

E. College, we left Raleigh at I p.m.. November 24, 1919. From Raleigh we went to Salisbury. Here we got supper and look a Pullman for Asheville. Passing over the Blue Ridge Mountains at night, we could not see anything. When we reached Asheville next morning it was about 5:30; so we got breakfast and caught a train for Lexington. We reached Lexington about 8:30 p.m. I'he scenery in the mountains was very pretty, especially along the French Broad River. Besides the scenery, we noticed some beef cattle in the mountains. This, of course, interested us most, as we had livestock on the brain. Beef cattle, hogs and sheep arc raised on these mountain pastures. Another place of interest was Sulphur Springs. This is where the German pris- oners were kept during the war. We noticed that the farther west we went, the wider the valley was, and the country was more thickly populated and the people more pro- gressive. Our next stop was Lexington. Lexington is one of the chief cities of Kentucky. It was also one of the cleanest cities we visited. After leaving Lexington, we went to Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky. This stop proved to be a very interesting and helpful one, for we went to Colonel Taylor’s Hereford farm and Mr. McKee’s Duroc farm. We were given some valuable instruc- tion on judging by the manager of Colonel Taylor’s farm. We also judged several classes of fine stock. Colonel l av lor has one of the finest farms we saw while we Page Forty-six were gone. He has a farm of twenty-two hundred acres. Practically all of this is covered with blue grass. He has between six and seven hundred pure-bred Hereford cattle. From the Taylor farm we went to Mr. McKee’s farm. Here we were given some instruction on judging swine. Mr. McKee has over nine hundred pure-bred Durocs. The McKee brothers arc among the largest breeders of pure-bred Du rocs in the West. We saw one of the largest Durocs living. 'I'llis animal gained fourteen pounds a day in a feeding test at the Experiment Station at Lexington. From Frankfort we went to Louisville. We reached Louisville about 9:30 p.m. There we took a Pullman for Chicago. Thursday, November 27th, about 9:30, found us rcall yin Chicago. We went at once to the Sherman Hotel, where we stayed while in the Windy City. After dinner we went to the stock yards. Here we saw some fine stock of all kinds. It was about six miles from the stock yards to he main part of the city. The contest was held Friday. There were twelve States in the contest. Each State was allowed three representatives in the contest. The contestants had to be at the stock yards at 7:30 a.m. There they were given the rules of the contest by the one in charge. The boys were divided into three groups. No one was allowed to speak during the contest. There were two classes of horses, two classes of beef cattle, and two classes of swine to be judged. One calss of each was to be judged for breeding and one class to be judged from the standpoint of fat. We started judging at 9 o’clock and finished at 2:30 that afternoon. After we had placed each class, we had to tell our reasons for judging each class of animals as we did. These reasons were given orally to three different groups of judges. After we finished we were carried to din- ner at the Stock Yard Inn. We stayed around there till 6 o’clock to sec what place we got in the contest. We got eighth place. One of our boys won first place on judging beef cattle, which made us all very happy. We went to the stock yards every day and watched the judges place the animals. On Saturday morning there was a contest open to all who wished to enter. This contest was to pick the five best steers out o twenty-one in ten minutes. A boy from Newr Mexico won first place. After this contest we visited some packing plants and stores. First, we visited the store of Marshal Fields Co. This is one of the largest wholesale and retail stores in the West. This firm employs twenty-five thousand clerks. We also went to the establishment of Sears, Roebuck Co. We could not see much here except the packages wrapped for mailing. On Monday we went through the Swift packing plant. This was a very interesting place. We saw the animals killed, dressed and packed. The meats are inspected by a Government inspector. He puts the Govern- ment seal on each piece as it passes him. In this plant it is said that a thousand cows, six thousand five hundred sheep, and six thousand hogs are killed each day. We left Chicago for Washington Wednesday night, arriving in Washington about 7:30 p.m., Thursday. We stayed here about half an hour. As it was dark, we could not see much of the city. The station at Washington was the prettiest we saw while we were gone. At 8 o’clock we left for home and reached Raleigh about 6 a.m., Friday. It did not take us long to get to Cary. We were glad to get home, but each one of us declared that he would not take anything for the trip. This was the first contest of the kind at the International Live Stock Show. These contests will be held annually in the future. It is well worth while for any boy to try to win this trip. Alsey Hunter.

Kid, as she was called by Gabriel, her father, was all alone there in the dark, haunted little mountain hut in the West. She lay awake that night patiently awaiting the return of her only friend, or even acquaintance except the birds and animals with whom she played. Suddenly the door opened and relieved Kid of her fear and anx- iety, because it was her father, who had safely returned from the saloon which he visited every night. Soon she was fast asleep and rested until the sun was shining high in the heavens. Quickly she arose to perform her daily tasks in assisting her father in feeding and watering the animals. She did all the cooking, although she knew nothing about cooking except what she learned from Gabriel, for she had never known her mother. Her life was very happy and pleasant, for after she had finished the tasks in the home, she enjoyed chasing over the hills with Queen, her pony. But the nights were long and weary, because she usually spent them alone in the little cabin. Her father was kind to her. and often he took her with him; but one place she was never allowed to go: “The V alley of Death.” In this valley was the saloon which Gabriel frequented. One night she waited and watched for his return until the clock struck three. When there was no sign of return, she bridled her pony, leaped on, and rode off to “The Valley of Death.” When she reached the saloon she entered the door; her conspicuous bravery alarmed the drunkards and they stood back bewildered. Immediately she recognized her father, who was lying on the floor. She discovered blood on his clothes. Then she went to him. raised his head, and found that he was not wounded, but the blood was that of the man whom he had wounded. Kid gently led her father into the yard, where they mounted their ponies and then rode back to their happy little home. When they reached the cabin she helped her father from the pony and led him into the house. Gabriel fell carelessly across the bed and very soon Kid found herself snugly in her own little bed. Suddenly a rap on the door brought Gabriel to his feet and he advanced toward the door. Kid knew that it was one of the saloon men, her heart beat fast and heavy, and she was scarcely able to breathe. She plead with her father not to open the door, but he refused and lifted the latch. The moment the door flew open the crack of a revolver sent fire across the room and Gabriel fell backward across the floor. Kid drew near and heard him mutter these last words, “My dear girl, you must wander back to the mountain city and git your education.” She pondered over these words, because all her life he had promised to take her to a city “to git an education.” Three of Gabriel’s friends who drank with him at the saloon came in and asked that they be allowed to give the body of the dead man a decent burial. He was buried in a nearby forest. Soon they returned to the cabin and told Kid that she must leave the little mountain home because she could not live there alone. She gave all of her father’s horses and ponies to these men. Then she mounted her pony, told Pit lie Fifty-four them about her father’s request that she should go to the city to be educated; and then she rode off across the mountains and valleys in search of an unknown city. All day long she wandered over the hills until it became very dark. She was very tired and sleepy when she came to a precipice, so she tied her pony to a tree and threw herself on the grass nearby. She looked into the heavens and thought of her father until she was in dreamland. Over the edge of this precipice was a deep cave. Kid was lying about three feet from the mouth of it. and while sleeping she rolled off into the cave. She was almost unconscious when she reached the bottom, but pain and fear all van- ished when she discovered her only true friend. Queen. During the night Queen had broken her rope and wandered over the woods until she, too, had fallen into this dark cave. There they were, all alone, suffering, hungry and thirsty, and no way to gel out. It happened that another ranchman, Morris by name, was walking nearby and heard the distressing groans; so he went to the cave and discovered Kid and Queen. It was a great problem as to how he could rescue them; but after a short time, with difficulty, he succeeded in bringing them safely out. Then he took them to his cabin, where they were both comfortably housed and fed. After a week Kid was feeling strong again: then she made preparation to go to the city. Morris had learned to love her and was grieved that she thought of leaving. But she could not get away from her father's dying words, thanked Morris for his hospitality and kindness to her. then leaped upon Queen’s back and set out in search for her education. After two days had passed she rode into a large Western city. She was hungry and tired, and, since she did not know the customs of the city, dismounted and led the pony into the yard of a large white house on the corner of the street in the heart of the city. There she tied her pony to a tree and threw herself upon the lawn. Now she had reached the city and her thoughts turned to her education. She had not been there long before a middle-aged man possessing a sad yet kind countenance came from the house and inquired why she was in the yard. This man, Warren by name, led Queen to a comfortable stable and Kid was taken into the large white house, where she was kindly received by Mrs. Warren. They gave her a cordial welcome and told her that this should be her permanent home. They felt very kindly toward her because fifteen years previous their only daughter had been kidnapped. Suddenly Mrs. Warren arose and threw her arms around Kid’s neck and began to weep for joy, for in that brave mountain girl of eighteen they discovered the likeness of their own daughter, Violet Warren. Kid’s beaming blue eyes, rosy cheeks, golden curls, and smiling countenance brought joy back to that home. After fifteen years she had wandered back to the city—to her real home. Susie Rkames. Pagr Fifty-five Freedom—The Spirit of America Immortal patriot, rise once more! Defend your rights, defend your shore; Let no rude foe. with impious hand. Invade the shrine where sacred lies. Of toil and blood, the well earned prize; While of}'ring peace, sincere and just. In heaven we place a manly trust. That truth and justice will prevail. And ev'ry scheme of bondage fail. In the year 1775 there was born into the colonies of America a spirit of freedom and independence, a real spirit of democracy so great that its effects caused the colon- ists to revolt against the British tyrant. George III., and to face the indescribable hardships of the Revolutionary War. It was this spirit of freedom that caused the United States in 1812 to again take up arms against Great Britain and to declare that the rights of America on the high seas should not be interfered with. It was during this conflict that the brave Captain Lawrence was inspired by this spirit to give as his last injunction, “Don’t give up the ship.” The growth of the spirit of freedom soon became so great that America began to think of others as well as of herself, and it was this same spirit which has always pre- dominated in the hearts and minds of liberty-loving Americans. It caused the United States to take sides with the Cubans in suppressing the iron rule of Spain in the West Indies and in the Philippines. It had been the policy of nations heretofore to engage in war for the purpose of gaining territory; but when the United States Government published the terms by which Cuba should be governed, it was seen by other nations that the United States had moved to a higher plane and was waiting for them to adopt our policy of liberty and justice for all. This spirit had its greatest effect on the nations of the Eastern Hemisphere «lur- ing the period of the World War. In the beginning it was certain that the sentiments of this great power were divided, and as the war went on, Germany gradually lost the respect of this God-fearing and liberty-loving nation. The sinking of the Lusitania, the most wicked and atrocious crime that has darkened the pages of modern history, brought the feelings of America together in one great effort to force Germany to respect the rights of others. Still, the American spirit was slow of anger and willing, as in days gone by, to give the benefit of every doubt to the enemy. This generous nature of our people caused the Germans to doubt the sincerity of the demands made by the American Government and to look at the United States as a nation who worshipped most the almighty dollar and not national honor. Her real opinion of the fighting spirit of America was made manifest in her bombardment of Red (boss hospitals, its attacks on defenseless women and children, the sinking of a ship having on board as a passenger a North Carolinian who was going to India to assume his duties as an agent of the I nited States Government, and the many insults Page Fifty-six heaped on our Ambassador while he was in the capital of Germany. The Kaiser informed the United States Government that when they had finished England and France they would then settle with us. 'Phis convinced the American people that war was inevitable. On the second day of April. 1917, Woodrow Wilson, the leading spirit of America, went in person to deliver his message to the Sixty-second Congress and to ask that war be declared on Germany. It was the work of only a few hours before the request was granted, and the message was flashed along the wires over the country to every member of the National Guard, that he could hold himself in readiness, as a state of war existed between the United States and Germany. The glad tidings was soon heralded throughout the Allied world that the United States was in the fight, and as quickly as possible the message was flashed down the trenches to the half-beaten and discouraged soldiers to hold fast, for the Americans were coming ten million strong! The true American responded to the call of his country, as did our forefathers of ’76, and soon long lines of khaki were seen moving towards the field of action at such a rate as to startle the whole world. While at the grave of one of the noblest sons of France and the ever staunch friend of America, Black Jack Pershing uttered these words: “Lafayette, we are here!” Back in America, men, women and children were busily engaged, in various ways helping the boys in khaki to carry out America’s watchword, “Over the top! Berlin or Bust!” Now that the war is over and our forces have returned victorious with the Stars and Stripes flying high, we look through the long lines of soldiers with tear- filled eyes and a heartfelt sigh for the boy who was ('ailed upon to make the supreme sacrifice on Flanders field for so noble a cause; and as we turn aside we can but have in our hearts “Cheers for the living and tears for the dead.” 'fhe example of the American Government at the Peace Conference is only another proof of this fine spirit. It was then that our leader, Woodrow Wilson, startled the world by announcing that the United States fought for principles of democracy and not for gain of territory. This spirit had never been shown before in any previous conflict, and in future years America will be lauded for her noble example. Then it behooves us as citizens of this great republic to keep brightly burning the flames that were kindled on Flanders field, so that this nation of ours shall not perish from the earth, and the spirit shown in this conflict will stand as a beacon light leading other nations on to a higher plane of civilization.

'Hu purpose of this meeting was to elect new officers for the school year of 1919-‘20. The following offi- cers were elected: Forrest Broughton. Presi- dent: Helen G. Elliott. Vice-President; Louise Hartsfieid. Secretary: Miss Smith, Treasurer. RECITAL GIVEN BY ELON COLLEGE On Tuesday evening Cary High School had the honor and pleasure of a recital from four members of the Elon College faculty. The following participated: Miss Florence Fisher, soprano: Miss Ruth Hawks, reader: Mrs. Katherine St urn. violinist, and Mr. E. M. Betts, pianist. The recital was enjoyed by all present. The artists held their audience from start to finish, and they did honor to the col- lege of which they are instructors. CARY DEFEATS WAKE FOREST In a basketball game played here December 12. 1919. Cary defeated the Wake Forest team the second time this year. It was a bad after- noon to play, but the boys went at it with vim. The final score was 15 to 5. Cary scoring first. Matthews and B. Timberlake did the best playing for Cary, and Greason for Wake Forest. A SURPRISE TO THE STUDENTS Speaking of surprises, the students of Cary High School ha«l one at chapel Monday after the Thanksgiving holidays. After the usual devotional exercises. Miss Ashcraft began to play the wedding march. Immediately a little first grade boy ami girl walked across the stage, holding large placards with “Mr. May- nard and Miss Smith written on them. Then fourteen other small children came on the stage, each carrying a placard to repre- sent a member of tin' faculty. The little girl who first came as Miss Smith came back on tin- stage as Mrs. Maynard. At this time one of the High School teachers announced that on Wednesday before Thanksgiving Cupid had really conferred the degree of Mrs. on Miss Smith, our Science teacher. A gift from the faculty and student-body was presented. When this was done the little people on the stage showered Mrs. Maynard with rice. We are very glad that Mrs. Maynard will continue to be our Science teacher, and we wish for Mr. and Mrs. Maynard much hap- piness. CHAPEL EXERCISES One of the most attractive features of our school work this year has been our Friday morning chapel exercises. Each Friday is assigned to a different department of the school. Each department has rendered a short program representing some phase of work done in that department. Among those that were especially interesting and unique were those given by the first grade children, the Expres- sion. Latin, and History departments. SOCIAL LIFE IN CARY All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But this cannot be applied to any Cary student, for the social life is planned for them as well as other things. There is a Social Committee from the. faculty, one from the boarding girls, and one from the boarding boys. These committees plan the socials in such a way that they will be of educational value as well as for pleasure. W AKE FOREST GLEE CLUB VISITS CAR' Cary, Nov. 15. There is no doubt but that the Wake Forest Glee Club’s visit to Cary, held in the city auditorium, Friday night, was one of the most enjoyable features of the sea- son. The auditorium was filled with people of the town and surrounding country. Cary, Nov. 11. The whole student body has organized itself and adopted student govern- ment. Electing the following officers: W. I). I’pchurch. President; Loula Hellen Jordan. Vice-President; Van Holloway, Secretary. Page Fifty-eight Under the officers there are various proctors. The local students, boys and girls, elect their proctors, while the boarding boys and girls elect their proctors. Whenever it is necessary, a proctors council is called and the business is transacted among them. BETTER SPEECH WEEK Beginning with Monday, January 12th. Bet- ter Speech Week was observed, which caused much excitement among the students. Sheriffs were appointed from each of the classes to make a report of all incorrect statements or mispronounced words they heard. THE CLAY AM) CALHOUN SOCIETY RECEPTION The Clay and Calhoun Literary Societies held their annual reception on December 12. 1919, in the Cary High School auditorium. Several former members of these and the girls societies were present. After all the boys and girls were coupled off and seated, the Glee (dub rendered a very interesting program, which was composed of songs, dances, and comic actions of a made- up negro. Contests were another part of the enter- tainment of the evening. The most interest- ing, perhaps, was “The Automobile Romance. THE BOYS’ DORMITORY Dreams will surely come true if we dream long enough ami work for them to come true. For several years Cary dreamed of having a dormitory for the boys. This seemed impossi- ble. for there seemed to be no available funds. Last year, after the building which was used for the boys' dormitory was burned, something had to be done. So Mr. Dry began to talk about it. and with the help of the County Superintendent, Mr. Lockhart, the way was found for getting the funds for building. The dormitory is nearing completion. We hope to be able to move in the first of January, and we shall be very proud of it. for it will be modern in every way. THE CARY HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT The spirit in the Cary High School has al- ways been good. This spirit has given the school an enviable reputation over the county ami State. The student body ibis year has not only kept up this reputation, but greatly ex- ceeded the school spirit of former years. The first thing to increase school spirit in the school was the organization of the school into a student association. Since this, the school has been a greater success than before. The pupils pull together ami help the leaders, instead of trying to down them, which is pro- gressive ami in keeping with the idea of teaching citizenship. Athletics is a very important part in school life. It is the ambition of every Cary High School boy and girl to have winning ball teams, and have athletics equal the other good points in the school. There is more than mere study to look forward to. Those jolly games in the fresh air take away all worry. Work is never complete without some fun. so we have social gatherings occasionally for the enjoyment of the boys and girls. In fact, the students feel like one big family; they cat together and discuss tin numerous happenings of the day. The cooperation between the students ami teachers greatly increases the school spirit, for they work together; here the pupils share re- sponsibility. This causes them to take a greater interest in the school. Every student is loyal and true to the school, and never allows any one to say anything against it; they are always proud to say. 1 am a student of Cary High School. Margaret Li cile Johnson. ‘21. MUSIC AND EXPRESSION RECITAL The Music and Expression departments gave a recital Thursday night. January 20. 1920. This was one of the best recitals ever given in this school. The auditorium was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and potted plants. The pro- gram consisted of choruses, quartets, readings, and solos. Every one enjoyed the music ami readings. The rendering of the program showed that the teachers of these two depart- ments were capable in every way. Page Fifty-nine SCHOOL LUNCHES Every day at the noon recess the Home Economics department serves hot lunches. This lunch room is maintained largely for the bene- fit of the elementary school; however, all those high school students who would otherwise have a cold lunch are very welcome at the school lunch room. The price of the lunch is always 10 cents. The menus are changed every day. Following are some menus served last week: Vegetable-Milk Soup Toast Fruit Sandwich Cream of Tomato Soup Toast Cheese Sandwich Brunswick Stew Plain Bread Peanut Butter Sandwich The work is all done by the Home Econom- ics students. This work is considered a part of the Home Economics course and the stu- dents receive credit for it as such. The girls work in groups of two or three, each group having charge of the lunch room a week. These students take the whole re- sponsibility of the work, doing the buying, planning of menus, preparation of food, and serving. At the end of the week they hand in to the Home Economics teacher, who is acting as ad- visor, a report of the number served, the menus, the amount expended, the amount paid in. the deficit or gain for the week. We are finding the lunch room very bene- ficial. both as a means of instruction and a means of service. THE HIKE •Saturday morning. January 31st. a group of fifty school boys and girls met on the campus to make a tennis and a new basketball court. After the work was completed, about 2 o'clock, we all started on a hike to the High House, about three miles away. We were chaperoned hv Miss Killingsworth. When we reached our destination a huge log fire, which had been made by some boys who went ahead, welcomed us. Tin afternoon was spent in interesting conversations concern- ing the people who built and lived in the old house while it was new. A guitar and a man- dolin added to the enjoyment of the afternoon. About 5 o'clock preparations for supper were made. It was ready about 5:30 o'clock, and there is no doubt that we enjoyed the sandwiches, coffee, apples, pickles, and toasted marshmallows. The trip will long be remembered by all who went as one of the most pleasant and enjoyable trips of this school year. THE GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINMENT The Glee Club gave their first entertainment Tuesday night, February 3, 1920. The pro- gram was very interesting and entertaining. Despite the fact that the weather was unfav- orable. there was a good crowd to enjoy the jokes and funny songs. There were two made-up negroes, who appeared in the beginning, ami by their comi- cal acts kept everybody laughing. Bill Swain and Henry Smith were the negroes. But other negroes appeared during the eve- ning. The costumes contributed to the success of several numbers. Crisp very gracefully ap- peared as a young lady and sang a song. Mid- dleton impersonated an awkward country lad. Perhaps the most enjoyable feature of the evening was l)at Famous Chicken Debate.” The debating was so close that the judges tied in their decision. The speakers used such large words that none present were hardly broadminded enough to comprehend their meaning. OUR HEALTH CRUSADE A late feature of great importance is our Health Crusade.” This is a campaign to raise the physical standard of the pupils of this school, and it is being conducted in a very successful manner. To obtain the cooperation of the students in this undertaking our princi- pal has had health score cards printed. On these cards are a list of the daily duties that each student should perform. Each duty has an individual grade, ami all total one hundred points. Upon a certain day each week all pupils are supposed to record their respective weekly grades on these cards.

Page Sixty-seven Page Sixty-eight Agriculture Class Miss Killian Kii.i.incsworth Organizer of Student Self-Government in Clary High School Page Sixty-nine Student Government and Citizenship Principal' Xolc—Last summer while attending the Summer School at Columbia University, Now York, Miss Killings orth. our Knglish teacher and Lady Principal, made a study of student self-government as it is being carried out in many leading high schools throughout the country! Being impressed with its possibilities and believing that it would succeed at Cary, she tried it out first with the girls in tin- dormitory. It worked so well with them that it was at once extended to the rest of the High School. The following is a paper read by Miss Killingsworth before the High School section of the State Teachers' Assembly in November, 1911 . We find in literature many interesting descriptions of the old-fashioned school and schoolhouse. And we find these descriptions especially fascinating; for we like to contrast the one-room, one-teacher and poorly equipped building with our many rooms, trained teachers, and modern, well-equipped buildings. Indeed, we have a right to he proud of our progress. Many changes have been made in our curricula. We have more teachers who have specialized, for this is the day of specialization. But there is one thing that has not changed in our schools—the government. The teacher is the monarch, the pupil the subject. The schools of two hundred years ago, which are still the models for school government, were schools for the training of the individual for his own advantage—not for the good of his community or state. We discarded the monarchical government of the nation for the democratic, hut we still cling to the old monarchical school government, modified, it is true, in its severity. We have nearly discarded the rod, and moral suasion has taken a more prominent place. Yet pupils feel they have no duties beyond getting their lessons. Things are done for them in a cut-and-dried way. In the majority of our schools pupils are never given responsibility. They are told to “go and “come.” They do things because they are told, rather than because it is right to do them. They have an idea that it is perfectly all right to break rules, provided the teachers do not catch them. A great many of our boys and girls leave our high schools and go to college. Most likely they enter institutions which have student government. At first it is very hard for them. They do not “fit in,” and soon the complaint comes of the lawlessness of the freshmen. Of course, not all of our boys and girls go to college. Those who do not go, find that they, too, have to struggle with problems. They are unable to find their work. They are unable to assume responsibility. They fail to recognize their social, industrial and political obligations. They haven’t the spirit of coopera- tion, openmindedness, and tolerance of others’ opinions; yet we are training boys and girls to live in a republic! The World War has made it possible and necessary for a specific course in train- ing for citizenship. And since it is a recognized fact that the school must serve its community; since it is the unit of a nation, we must look to our schools to train the youth of our land in citizenship. Thus far, we all know that our schools have taught citizenship only incidental to producing better scholars. They have cultivated re- sponsiveness to external control and neglected the cultivation of self-control. We, as teachers, must find some definite plan by which we can give this training. It seems to me that this can be done by inaugurating in our schools student govern- ment. Now, we must not confuse this term with pupil government. Nor must we suppose that it will he the panacea for all our social ills, or a plan which will solve all our school problems. By student government, I mean an organization in the school whereby students may he taught the fundamental notions of our State Government and the method of their application. It should he a government very simple and direct, Page Seventy “for all and by all.” It will train pupils to “do right without being watched or told. They will realize that they are citizens now. and learning to live properly in their first community- the school. There are hundreds of schools in the United States that have tried some form of student government. You know of some who abandoned it because it failed. Others you possibly know succeeded, but had to wade through failure to success, just as the colonies had to work and plan for many years before the Government of the United States was perfected. Others have succeeded from the very first. The success of any student organization will depend largely upon proper supervision. The teacher must realize that he is teaching government as a subject. Uet the teacher abandon the teaching of history and there will be no history class; so if he abandons he teaching of government, there will be no student government. The teacher or supervisor must be a guardian, a senior guide, a counselor, and in time of need a controller. When this is true, the pupils assume a very teachable attitude. They are quite responsive to suggestions, and if appealed to in the right way, will decide fairly and justly any question which may come up. “Self-government must be a growth from within, not something imposed from without by the teacher. You will have to educate the pupils to the meaning of self- government. We began at Cary in a very casual way. For the last two or three years the girls in the dormitory had a voice in their management. They did many things for themselves. At the beginning of this year, citizenship was defined and discussed both in the elementary and high school. A school creed, or code of honor, which included athletics, was presented to the student body. They adopted this. We had more students, especially girls, at the beginning of school than we could accommodate in our day study hall, so we had to formulate a plan so the girls could stay in their rooms during their study periods. They organized themselves into a student government group. They made their own rules and elected five proctors. It was understood that if a proctor should find one violating a rule, she was asked to report herself. If the girl didn’t report, the proctor did. The proctors and the girls’ adviser composed the student council. This council is for the purpose of disciplining the girls who need it. This plan worked splendidly. So it was not long before the boys said: “Why can’t we have student govern- ment, too?” And so they organized. I.ater the town boys and girls adopted it. Each group made rules for itself and elected its own proctors. Now we had four units of government, typical of our State Government. Then we had to have a way to link these four units together. So the four units met, elected a president for the whole student body, also a vice-president and secretary. These officers with the proctors of the other units and the faculty advisers—for each group has its faculty adviser— compose the general student council. This council formulates general rules for the school. Through this council the students are allowed to bring questions and prob- lems before the faculty for discussion. They are allowed to file complaints for the faculty’s attention. In this way they have a voice in saying what is best for the school life. Since this plan has been adopted by the school, the spirit of the whole school has improved. Many of our school problems are being solved, and we believe beyond a doubt the principle of student government is a sound one pedagogically. We believe that if our teachers will persevere, and teach it as a subject, we may train our boys and girls to be citizens worthy of America and of the world.

Yes, Cary High School really has one! The school term of 1919-’20 has been filled with many interesting events. The one event that will stand out, especially to us, is the organization of the Glee Club. Such an organization had been attempted before—that was all. This year the effort to have a Glee Club was successful because we were fortunate in having as a member of the faculty Mr. Wood- lief. who could inspire a group of high school boys, and who made a Glee Club a reality. We organized in the early fall and began immediately to make plans to give a program. We made our debut in December, when the Clay and Calhoun societies gave their annual reception. We didn’t know whether our program would be appre- ciated or not, for every undertaking really worth while must meet with difficulties; in this undertaking we were no exception to the rule. After this, our first appearance, we knew that the Glee Club would be a success in Cary High School. Then we made preparations to give a regular Glee Club entertainment for the public. We gave this entertainment the third of February. This program was so enthusiastically received that we decided to make a tour. Apart from the educational value, the members have gotten a great deal of fun out of it; and even if it were a hard fight to organize, it has been worth while in every way. Claude M.

Realizing this fact, Cary High School has always been interested in athletics and has made an enviable record during the past. But only those that liked athletics and wished to play took a part. This year, at the beginning of school, there arose a new athletic spirit. The students began to insist that greater provision be made for ahletics. The High School immediately adopted a system of compulsory athletics. Ahletics has become a part of the student government organization, and every student is required to take some form of physical exercise daily. Early in the fall the principal appointed a faculty committee to plan and make possible for every student some form of physical exercise. This committee decided upon basketball, baseball, tennis, and track athletics. A physical training class and walking were planned for the girls by our lady principal. OUR FAVORITE YELL Wake 'em up!
