I I Mart a Selma Mono an “Martha” Cary, North Carolina too serious, not too gay, a jolly good girl in every way. Marta Selma is a good student, an ideal pal and a faithful friend. She is always ready and willing to do anything to help one. We wonder what the Lowell Society will do without her as a pianist and debater. We wish her the best of success in the future.

Alton Fetner “Barney” Raleigh, North Carolina When angry count four. When very angry swear.” Even if Barney has been with us only one year he is one of the most popular fellows in school. Every one knows him and every one likes him. Maybe somebody loves him, but that isn ' t for us to know. During his short stay here he has been a true patriot of C. H. S.

Mary is a true friend to those who have come to know her. She does not believe in studying any more than she has to. Lowell Society. mmmmaaam Lola Beatrice Nortiicijtt “Sookey” North Carolina Cary, “ Her heart is not in her work — ' tis elsewhere.” We have the distinction of having a “boll weevil” in our class, although “Sookey” has been with us only two years she has made many friends among her classmates. We are all sure she will make some business man an excellent stenographer, but we know she will not be compelled to earn her own living always. Lowell Society ; Dramatic Club. John Graham Harris “John G.” Fairview, North Carolina “ Noise proves nothing.” A “good egg,” a hard worker, a ladies’ man and as independent as Thomas Jefferson. John has much interest in his life’s work, and we feel confident that when the time comes to consider the men who will lead his profession to the front, lie will be in the front ranks.

She has been with us several years and each year she grows jollier in proportion to her size. She is a great prophe- sier as is seen in the fact that she is author of the class prophecy. She has been a good student and we prophesy a brilliant career for her. Lowell Society ; Chairman of Program Com- mittee ’25; Treasurer Society ’26; Girls’ Reserve; Dramatic Club; Class Prophet. William Clifford Harris “Bill” Belhaven, North Carolina “Better to be conceited and know some- thing. than humble in ignorance .” “Bill” is a good natured fellow who makes us all feel good when we meet him. He has qualities which make him a man, and which are sure to make him succeed at whatever he undertakes. He is an average student and the possessor of a receptive mind. His melodious voice and at- tractive personality have won for him a large circle of friends, all of whom are wishing him great success.

Carmel Elmo Ross “Pig” Cary, North Carolina “ Cheerful and dependable , Enthusiastic , kind , Genial and good natured , And sensible in mind” Carmel with her sweet disposition has won for her many friends in Cary. She always greets one with a smile, and her dreamy brown eyes have won for her a host of admirers who would like to make an addition to her name. We wish her much happiness.

Some of us had come through graded school together, while others joined us that year, to begin the climb toward Graduation Peak. Wo found, after a few days traveling, that the ascent ahead would he steep and difficult; therefore we held a conference to select a leader to command us on our journey. For this place we chose Levic Murdock. With our faith renewed we pushed forward, but as we marched on we encountered many unforeseen difficulties. As we tried to scale the heights of Latin and Arithmetic many fell to the depths below, but the majority pushed forward. One day we saw the Mount of Exams looming in the distance. We came closer and closer to this Mount. A few did not have strength enough to climb it; but most of us marched over and ran gaily down into the Valley of Vacation. For four months wo had a pleasant time traveling through this .valley; but in September we saw in the distance another mountain higher than the first. Our commander called us together and we found many travelers of the previous year missing. Looking up the mountain we saw huge boulders of Caesar and Algebra, and realizing the need of an able commander we selected Ray Woodall and chose Miss Crow as our Adviser. While traveling a. few were discouraged and stopped to await reenforcements. The rest pushed forward, scaling Mount Exam and Test. Upon reaching the Valley of Vacation, we looked back and were elated over our success. Soon we came again to the foot of another high mountain. We chose Robert Curtis to guide us and Miss Ellis as our counselor. There were a few who stumbled and fell over the Cliffs of English and Chemistry, hut the survival of the fittest entered the last Valley of Vacation. After starting up Mount Graduation, we realized this trail would be the most treacherous of all. On one side of the trail were huge boulders of Geometry, Backwork and Exams; on the other were signs. “Beware of Failure!” There were times when we were despondent because it seemed to us that our efficient guides would give us no peace. At every turn they would say to us, “You must accomplish more today; if you do not, there is no chance for you to climb this mountain.” We were called together many times by our commander, William Dry, to decide the best route to take, and had it not been for these councils, many of us would have fallen over the narrow cliffs. Finally we came to the most difficult part of our journey, Final Exams. Most of us pushed this last boulder aside and reached our destination, Graduation Peak. On looking hack over the long journey our hardships seem to dwindle and wo remember the pleasures and rejoice at our accomplishments. Wc could not have made the journey the last year had not our adviser, Mr. Paper, stood by us so faithfully. It seems hard to realize the journey we started so bravely four years ago has been completed; but today we are leaving Cary High School with a heart full of love and thankfulness to her for what she has done for us.

Class Prophecy Chicago, Illinois April 23, 1936 A FTER graduating at Midi a cl Reese Hospital and teaching for several years I have heen appointed to make lectures over the United States, and today as I start on my tour T am thinking of my classmates of Cary High School and have resolved to keep a diary and write all I learn of them. Hew- York City — While shopping today T was attracted by some pretty flowers; glancing at the sign T saw Nipper-Braswell. Floral Shop. 1 went in to see Maiv and Fore n a and had a long talk. They told me Yell Waldo was stalling in a famous picture. As her fame as are actress is known in every country I had to see her in her latest picture. Richmond, Va. — Today I rejoiced with Beulah Allen when she told me she had just received her Rlt.T). degree. Knowing that Olga Poplin was director of athletics at Koonz College, T called her and we had dinner together. Philadelphia, Pa— Tonight at the opera T heard a great sopranist, Helen Davis. Boston, Mass. — This evening while out for dinner some one called my name, and there was Kathryn Young, who is now teaching expression in Boston. Washington, D. C. — Whom should T meet today as T stepped off the train, hut Senator John Harris! Tie is our youngest Senator from North Carolina. Columbia, S. C.— Today I had tea with Mrs. W. O.

She is her Private Secretary and lives with her, as they could not. live apart. Met Alton Fetner today, and he cannot tease me any more about being fat as he weighs over two hundred. He is known as the best insurance salesman in the South. Yesterday T went to Cary and the first person I saw was Mamie Campbell. She is happily married and told me Lucy Stephens, Cora Alice Gillespie and Reba Womble were married and living in Cary. Atlanta, Ga. — When getting on a bus today the first person T saw was Robert Curtis. He is a dentist and enjoys a large practice. Jacksonville, Fla. — While inquiring for the best place to buy fruit, I was delighted when informed that J. W. YanLandingham, Wholesale Dealer, would furnish me with the best in Florida. Montgomery, Ala.— I was glad to sec today, in the Montgomery Daily, that Dwight Bennett was listed as being one of the best and most progressive farmers in Alabama, and Melzcr Morgan was head of the department of Agriculture. Jackson, Miss.— As I walked out of the hospital this afternoon, I almost ran into Gertrude Straughan. She is teaching Science at Jackson College for Women. Q sitting just of Iowa ! Nashville, Term. — This morning one of the nurses asked me to accompany her to the courthouse to hear the verdict of a case. Just as we walked in a lawyer began to speak and I recognized “Bill” Harris. My surprise was still greater when I saw the judge to be Lonnie Batts. Louisville, Ky. — Just as I came out of the Seminary today I met Gladys Blaylock. She told me she and Lola Northcutt had been teaching, but she expected to leave soon to do mission work in China. St. Joseph, Mo. — While walking down town today I glanced at the bill board of one of the theaters and lo ! my breath almost ceased, as I read that Carmel Boss, the second Mary Bickford, and William Dry, the second Valentino, were to play in their famous picture “Our Own.” Of course I went to see the picture with Marta Selma Morgan and Juanita Franklin, who are teaching at St. Joseph College. Elaine Holloman and her husband, Wesley Williams, were in front of me. Des Moines, Iowa — Just think of Wallace Shcaron being Governor He deserves such a place, for he was always dependable. ' Topeka, Kan. — James Bashaw is Mayor of Topeka, and Boyce Ellington, Pres- ident of the First National Bank of Topeka. They are very well satisfied, as Boyce is married and is enjoying a splendid reputation. James is to be married next month to one of our classmates. (?) Albuquerque, -N. M. — While looking over a collection of books today 1 saw a new one written by Ruby Duke, a popular writer. Louise Whitlock is editor of True Story M agazine. Reno, Nev. — Going to lunch today I saw a familiar looking person going into a store; I went in and who should it be but Elizabeth Wilkinson. She told me she was a lawyer and had no clients except divorcees. She had been granted three divorces herself. Sacramento, Cal. — Today I went to church to hear Badcliffe Caviness, a second “Billy Sunday,” preach. Lucy Clyde Gray was in town. She is now a great musician, touring the United States. She told me Lucy Clifton was teaching Home economics in Honolulu. Los Angeles, Cal. — Judd Daniel is one of the greatest athletic coaches in the United States. Lie told me Martha Washburne was a beauty specialist in China and that Bessie Jackson was married and living in Los Angeles. Dear little diary, I have seen or heard from all my classmates and I am indeed very happy to know how well each one is progressing. How glad I would be for all of us to gather again and discuss our different problems as we used to do at “twelve-thirty in room one.” Margaret Ray, Prophetess.

Four departments were established that year and four more were formed in 1923. In 1924 five additional departments were added, making a total of thirteen in the State. Superintendent A. T. Allen and Mrs. T. E. Johnston, Supervisor of Teacher Training, from their knowledge of the need of teachers in the elementary rural schools, worked out a course of study. Its purpose was to give one year of intense training in practice teaching to students who have graduated from high school. There is no charge for tuition. One of the thirteen departments of Teacher Training was established at Cary High School in 1922. It is one of the best equipped in the State. The student teachers do their work in observation and practice teaching in the grades of the elementarv school. A splendid library of professional books and other materials on instruction is provided for the student teachers by the county. The students prepare their work under the very best conditions.

About fifteen new units have been added this spring. Cooperative buying and selling means cheaper feed for the community flocks and a better market for our products. The 30 ' x50 ' Farms Shop under the gymnasium is equipped and is serving as a fine place to carry on farm construction work. Evening Class Work with adult farmers and those interested in poultry has been conducted throughout the spring season at Cary and in other communities ’round-about. A Unit Course for students has been taught in one of the near by schools. Of course our All Day Class Work has been building better farmers for the future and is being “Topped off” with an extended Agricultural Tour each Summer for the boys taking agriculture. rT C m s fflffl MM UU 0BB 0 H ffl i MM 8 SB 8 L, 1 1 SENS Office and Home Economics Library Culling ami Basting Woolen Dresses The Fitting Room (Adjoining class Room) Home Economics Class The Horae Economies Course is organized to cover two years’ work, and is designed for the eighth and ninth grade students.

Our gymnasium is new and the equipment consists of hand apparatus, climbing ropes, flying rings, stall bars, jumping standards, mats, a piano, and a portable victrola. Ail forms of physical exercises are given, including free gymnastics, marching, running, mat work, jumping, folk dancing, mass games and apparatus work. The students take an active part in arid are interested in the work, therefore progress is being made in all phases of the course.

During the past season the games played, were ail moral victories, even if we did have a trying season. The team won a wonderful reputation during the season, by playing clean and fighting throughout the entire game. The work of Captain Curtis was outstanding during the season, under the leadership of Coach Farrell, who played a prominent part in developing our team.

Girls’ Basketball Team To say we are grateful to the girls’ basketball team for the untiring efforts put forth only expresses a part of our appreciation. They have proven the fact that an all- weather court is an asset to any team. Their victories show that much can be accomplished and many difficulties overcome by everlastingly striving. We feel sure the team of ’26-27 will be possessed with a determination to show their superiority in basketball playing. - fun n ■ ■ ■ - First Row— Bill Harris, Alton Fetner, Judd Daniel, Captain; John Lawrence, Radcliff CJ aviness Second Row— L.

Raper, the interest in basketball has been renewed with enthusiasm and zest. The basketball games have been well attended and lustily cheered. None less glorious in our athletic victories than in our spirit at the “dinner” given the team by Mrs. Dry immediately after each game won or lost, at which time players enjoyed the calm as though there had been a storm. We regret to lose Daniels, Harris, Fetner, Gaviness and Dry — because of their senior privileges — yet, they have been loyal workers and have ever shown good spirit, which is indicative of their characters. Remaining members of the squad are with you, fellows. Fight a new battle! Our squad has been small, yet alive. The Pass Key into the basketball or other athletic squads is a minimum grade of 75 on work required in any regular course of study. What a pity the biggest man does not generally make the biggest grade!
