The girl who toils while the next one shirks. Here's to our constant friend and faithful student. All through her High School days she lias gone quietly about her work, bothering no one. Her quiet disposition and willingness to oblige has won for her many friends. Ruby is a girl who can l o depended upon and one who takes much responsibility. We wish for her a bright and prosperous future, and instead of teaching next year she may be a student in Agriculture at State College. hPHl Lowell Literary Society; President Society, '23; Critic Society, '23; Betterment Marshal, '23, '24; Girls’ Reserve; Science Club; Historian Training Class.

And the faculty and the student body knows of her unusual ubility to accomplish anything she undertakes.

(Pack Tiiirtt-tiirkb] $tstorp of tfjc Class of ’24 FOUR years ago a group of very bright, sparkling, and briskly moving drops fell from the rock of Graded School into the stream of High School Life, and started on their journey toward the Sea of Graduation. As we little drops hesitatingly fell from the rock of Graded School, sinking deeply into the stream of High School Life, we found the channel to he rough and rugged, and we knew that many hardships would lx? encountered on our journey. So we held a council, and selected from our number one particularly brave, big drop named Kcrinit Ward, who was to be our loader. Under his guid- ance we started confidently down the stream. Soon we were joined by the small tributaries of Latin and Algebra, which we found were of stubborn nature and hard to intermingle; but after many laborious and tiresome efforts we succeeded in combining with them. This greatly in- creased our force, and we flowed over the difficult bed with more confidence than before. At the end of this rough and stony place we entered upon four months of smoothly flowing over pebbles of vacation. We proudly glided along, with our enjoyment and happiness increasing as we went; but this pleasure was ended when we struck another rough place in the bed. Seeing fresh difficulties ahead, we called a parley to counsel with each other as to our best course of action. When we counted our number we discovered that many were missing, including our leader of the year before. But we were re- assured when we discovered a number of friendly new faces in our midst. Noth- ing daunted, we selected for our leader a very brisk and efficient drop, Rachel Eaton; and with her in charge, we entered confidently upon our second year of high school. Here we were joined by new tributaries, Ca?sar and Biology. The junction with these streams was not so difficult, because we had become accustomed to such tasks; however, our force was greatly increased by these additions. This added strength was sorely needed, for our progress was impeded by huge boulders of extra work and sharp curves of changed courses. Now and then we found our- selves almost incapable of flowing, but finally a smooth place of holiday sands was reached. This gentle slope lasted only a short while. Soon the cry, “Breakers ahead!” aroused us to action. When we reached the third stretch of rough water we selected an especially strong and robust drop, Waldron Shearon, for our guide. Soon we were joined by the tributaries Cicero, Chemistry and French. Our 000 [Pack THiBTT-rocR) Power had been increased by the former additions to such a degree that the task of joining these was accomplished with ease. We overcame our difficulties magnificently and won many honors. Other groups of drops in the stream were forced to admit our superiority. The year flew swiftly by, and we were soon enjoying four months of happily gliding over pleasure pebbles; our last high school life vacation. Now we knew that only one more stretch of tortuous channel lay between us and our long-hoped-for destination, the calm Sea of Graduation. Soon we were involved in the difficulties of this last passage, and it was not long until we realized that it was in many ways the most difficult of all. On our left was the greedy sucking whirlpool of Pack Work, from which there were many narrow escapes. Frightful monsters of Special Work and Extra Tests swam through the swirling current. On the right were two great boulders, called Athletics and Honors, against which we dashed with animation, but which delayed our progress toward our goal. We learned, to our regret, that there were two outlets to the sea; the main channel of Diploma, and the special canal of Certificate. Soon we were divided into two groups, one for each route. Then we entered the last terrific gorge, called Final Examinations. Eddies, whirlpools, and cross currents tossed us from side to side until we were dizzy, lost, and distracted. Put at the end we came suddenly into smooth and smiling waters, and when we sighted the beauti- ful lighthouse of Passing Marks we knew that we had at last reached our goal. Then the captain of our group, Otis King, called us together for the last time. We found that many of our original group had been lost, but their places had been taken by others along the way. Throughout the trip our party had maintained its firm union, and had gained strength from each new difficulty. Looking back over our long journey, our hardships dwindled away, and what had seemed like painful experiences along the way were now remembered with pleasure. Now that we had reached our long desired destination, it was hard to realize that the daring journey which we had started four years before had been completed. Put now wo know that our days in the River of High School Life are over, and soon we. shall go each one his separate way to take up the greater duties we shall find in the broad Sea of Life.

James Carter will get a large pair of trousers so he will be in style. The boarding girls desire to will Miss Calvert a pair of rubber heels so she will not disturb study when she goes up the hall.

Vyco'' %Am 6 t r Atm s frO 6,fc fyefnia ooj' Vclflh0 ''Jbhnso x4q ,rl' Senior Class 9ropf)ccp ON the morning of April 18, 1944, I was aroused from a reverie by a loud knocking at my door. Upon answering the summons, I found in the hall- way an aged gypsy woman. Thinking her to be a beggar, I was about to send her away with a coin, when something about her caused me to hesitate. In answer to my questions she informed me that she was hungry; furthermore, she stated that she would be glad to repay me for a meal by giving me any desired information about my absent friends. While she was eating I remembered that this was the twentieth anniversary of my graduation from Cary High School. I immediately decided to ask her about my friends of the class of twenty-four. To my surprise, she divined my question without my asking it; for, after finishing her meal, she began talking in an ab- stracted manner, seemingly unconscious of my presence. “I see Oral and Rocher Allen in their huge store in Raleigh, North Carolina. It took them only three years to change the name of the firm from ‘ITudson-Belk’ to ‘Allen Brothers “Robert Atkins has a log cabin in Alaska, which serves the double purpose of a hunting lodge and a retreat for writing his adventure stories. Herman Armstrong, having studied art in Europe, has won world-wide recognition by his flattering portrait of the Queen of the Netherlands. Rachel Eaton and Margaret Smith, having freed the country from the two great menaces of mashers and cigarettes, have moved to conquer new fields.” The old woman was silent for a time, but before I could formulate a question she continued. “Aliena Bunch is now the heavy-weight wrestling champion of the world, having strangled Strangler Lewis into submission. She is the first feminine holder of the title, and is considered the greatest of all time. John Baucom is establishing a reputation around Clayton as a quack doctor; however, he does not confine his practice entirely to ducks. Mary Rodwell Hunter, Martha Wright, Martha Med- lin and Ann Wilkinson have very successfully performed a second Brook Farm experiment. They contribute stories, poems and essays to the leading magazines; and their plays have had long runs in the theaters of Apex. The scene of their present activities is in New York state, but they are considering moving to Salt Lake City, because, being so much of one mind, they feel that they must all marry the same man. [Pack Forty] “Pharos Green and Judson Coats are missionaries and teachers in Africa. It is said that they are casting a light upon the dark continent. Harold Wilson is now a busy man of affairs, spending most of his time promoting real estate deals in Rhamkatte. Kenneth Smith and Lewis Williams now occupy the places in the automobile industry once held by Hupp and Ford. Richard Ferguson is the world’s champion tobacco spitter, having won his title in the last national tourna- ment by hitting a gnat in the eye ninety-nine times out of a possible hundred, at twenty paces. Wahab Edwards underwent a monkey gland operation, and has grown so much that you would not recognize him as the runt of the class of twenty-four. Gamaliel Coats looks up at her elongated husband with pardonable pride.” The gypsy paused, and asked for a drink of water. She seemed to be weary, but the water revived her and she continued her story, speaking in an even monotone. “Ruby Franklin, Katie Buffaloe, and Mildred Wood have built up a large high school at McCullers, N. C. Ruth Riggsbee is sole proprietor of the only hospital for mentally unbalanced cats in North Carolina. Ralph Johnson and Irene Pittard are happily married. Allene, the other half, lives with them and helps them with the upbringing of their red-headed children. Geneva Yeargan is now a noted pianist and composer, and is hailed with delight in the great European cities. To satisfy their yearning for excitement, Madeline Hodge and Nell Johnson have moved from staid United States into the turmoil of Mexico. Felix Wheeler, having failed to discover any other use for his line, is now a minister of the gospel. Irvin Jackson and Glenn Johnson have gained much fame as chemists. Their greatest triumph was the invention of a preparation that annihilated the boll weevil. Dorris Honeycutt and Thelma Johnson were successful newspaper cor- respondents until the golf bug got them; now they spend most of their time on the links. Fay Morgan and Dora Moore are touring Asia. Their purpose is not known, but it is thought that it concerns the rebellion in India. “Waldron Shearon and Edwin Dowell now operate Andrews Fruit Store, and the Cary High School boys still go there for their wieners. The proprietors have acquired a pronounced Greek accent. Julia Griffin has established a day school at Knightdalc. Lillian Pierce and Mary Belle Hodge are employed by the state of North Carolina to lecture on fire prevention in the public schools. Otis King and James Hunter are biologists and naturalists. They have written several books on bird and plant life. Ethel Copeland is the chief customs officer of the port of New York. Her assistant is Meroe Stone.” During the latter part of her speech the old lady arose and placed her hands on my shoulders. When she had finished she left precipitately. Later in the day when I started to pay the milkman, my purse was missing. I thought of calling the police, but upon second thought I decided to let the matter end there; for, just as in my high school days, there was not enough money in it to pay her for the hour’s entertainment.

And it is accomplishing its purpose, for out of the beginning with a few boys, books and no equipment, of nine years ago has grown a real, wide awake department of vocational agriculture which trains fifty or more boys annually to become better farmers. The department also serves as demonstration school for agriculture in the State and the students of State College find it fitting to use as a school for practice teaching. Crops and Soils, Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, Farm Management and Farm Shop Work are all taught in a thorough practical way to the students in school and the work reaches out in the community as well, where personal and organized work is done among the farmers. A great deal of interest is taken each year by the students at the State Fair in Crops and Livestock Judging, and honors are usually brought back. Two years ago both of the silver cups were won and this year it will be remembered that Kenneth Smith, Harold Wilson and George Ford brought away the white ribbon in Livestock Judging, and Irvin Jackson, Glenn Johnson and Jerome Seymour got honorable mention by being well on toward the top. Space and equipment of course are necessary in teaching this science and a plenty of both will be found in our new Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Education. Growing! Of course the work is growing because our cause is right. Agriculture, the foundation of future commerce, must be better organized and more efficient, and our agricultural students will be a great asset toward bringing this to pass.

The work covers everything from marching and running to tumbling, including tactics developed to tactics of a body of ranks; club, wand and dumb-bell drills; dancing, free gymnastics and games. The boys and girls show very much interest in the work, and seem to enjoy it. As a climax of the work accomplished, a small gymnastic exhibition will be given in March, representing every phase of the work. It is expected that this department, so well begun by Miss Crow, will be continued next year.

Through the earnest efforts of Coach Ezell and others interested in the sport, and by virtue of financial assistance from the school board, football was established in Cary High during the past season. Mr. Julian Baum, a former N. C. State star, was engaged as special football coach, and it is due largely to his earnest efforts and expert advice that the inexperienced team made such a good showing. They played Selma on even terms, but lost 13 to 6. The N. C. State Freshmen walked away with the second game, but the following week Cary tasted the joys of victory when they outplayed the strong Buies Creek Academy eleven and won 6 to 0. In the last game the team made a splendid showing against Sanford, eastern North Carolina champions. Cary was leading at the beginning of the final quarter, 7 to 6, but the Sanford coach rushed in his reserve and the fresh team made two more touchdowns.

I ack of an indoor court delayed the development of the team, but soon their hard and faithful work began to show results in games won. The team was good on the offensive, but even better on the defensive. When the State Championship series began the squad was at top form. They elminated Stovall in the first round and Creedmoor in the second. Durham then put Cary out of the running in a hardfought game for the group championship. At the time of going to press Durham is battling for the State title. Record Championship games: Cary .. 33. Stovall .... 13 Cary.... .. 33, Creedmoor 20 Cary.... .. 16.

Prospects are very good for a winning team this year. Although Sorrell, last year's great pitcher, is now at Wake Forest College, a worthy substitute should be found among the four candidates for the mound position. Waldron Shearon, captain, will be out for his old position behind the plate. Other likely looking candidates are Baucom, Arm- strong, Johnson, King, Jackson, Knott. Satterwhite, Wheeler, Womble, and numerous others. James M. Hunter is manager of the team. On the whole there seems to be even more interest than usual in baseball at Cary High, and if hard work and determination count for anything Cary will have another smooth-working diamond outfit this season.

The Science Club was organized after some very good campaigning by Mr. Holler and Miss King on Monday, November the twenty-sixth, 1923. Since the organization became an active group of the school it has done much in furthering interest in the various branches of Science of the school. The programs consist of different scientific subjects, such as inventions, old and new, possibilities of the future, questions which tend to keep us in touch with the rapid strides in Science as well as many other topics, both interesting and beneficial. On one occasion Mr. C. S. Brimley of Raleigh, who is noted for his study of nature, visited the club and made a very interesting talk on birds. His lecture was accom- panied by paintings of birds in their natural environment and many mounted birds of different species. The Club has two members of the faculty as members: Miss King, instructor of Chem- istry. and Mr. Roller, instructor of Physics and Biology. Both Miss King and Mr. Roller attend every meeting and seem to forget that they are members of the faculty and join with the young people in improving the Club. After considering that this is the first year in the history of the School that such activities have been pursued by students of Science as an organization of this kind we will have to admit to our delight, that the club has been more successful than we hoped for. We hope that the zeal and interest of the students will not die and that the Science Club will be organized again next year and build to the very strong foundation that has been founded this year.
