History of Class ’23 IT came to pass in the year one t housand nine hundred and nineteen that there was much sorrow in t he land of Cary High School, for the eldest sons and daughters of the place had taken their departure out into the mysterious maze of Life. And the hearts of their brothers and sisters were bowed down with a burden of grief, for their ways were parted, so that they knew not when they should meet again. And heralds went throughout the land, telling of the loss and asking that new sons and daughters be given unto the Alma Mater. Then did two score and four arise and go thence, and find favour in her sight, for they were goodly to behold; and lo! lamen- tations were changed into rejoicings because of their coming. And these were called Twenty-three, after the year of their graduation. Now this was a place of mingled study and merry-making, and a dangerous place withal for those who were afraid of toil. But Twenty-three did face the monsters of Math and Foreign Languages with a stout heart, and did perform her duties with a zeal that was worthy and becoming unto her. Then soon did she take counsel together, and elect one Helen Elliot for her first president, unto whom was given the leadership for the entire year. And she ruled wisely and well. Now it was the custom at this place for the boys’ societies, by name Clay and Calhoun, to entertain the girls’ societies, called Lowell and Irving, in the Autumn of each year. So the boys of Twenty-three did co-operate with their brothers and send invitations unto all the girls, and to old members of the institution, inviting them to a reception. And there was much feasting and merry-making. And about this time, three boys of the institution were selected for the State Livestock Judging Team, for they did win in contest above all other schools of the State. And these three did win honors in judging livestock at an International Livestock Exposition in the city of Chicago. And one of these same boys was a certain Bernard Tillman, a member of the Class of Twenty-three. And behold! it was soon Christmas-time; so the classes and the several members of each did separate one from the other, and return with rejoicings unto their homes for the holidays. After having tarried there for a short season, they returned for the Spring Term. And Twenty-three did go about her duties in a manner like unto that of the Fall. But after a time she began to desire more social life. And so her girls did join together with their elder sisters and prepare a reception for the boys which was heralded far and wide. And many came and were filled with pleasure. And the time did pass rapidly away until suddenly it was Vacation Time. Then did Twenty-three arise and go into the land of her fathers, where she remained for four months. -4 3 o L-
