Airmindcd, Artistic Our lucky day was surely the first day we entered Cary and found Rachel one of our class- mates. She is a friend, true blue. Some people are shoulders and some are hearts, but Rachel is both. She has helped us in our trials and always gives us her sympathy. Her burning on thusiasm in aviation bids fair to bring her much fame. Rachel, we prophesy success in all you do. live not in myself, but I become a portion of that which ix around we. —Ityron.

Twenty-three Class History |T X 1925 at the opening of the fall term of Cary High School, there eagerly waited a band of forty-five students. These students were waiting to become Freshmen; and these same students now compose our Senior Class. To get a good start in our high school career Edgar Cleghorn was chosen as our leader and Miss Mary York as our adviser. After the excitement of the first few weeks had died out the time passed swiftly and Commencement was at hand. We watched with delight the graduating class, hoping some day to be in their place. The next year our class, with some members having dropped out and a few new ones arrived, we met and elected Martha Castlebury president and Miss Clara Xichols as our adviser. In this stage of our high school career we had a sense of freedom and importance. We could look back to our Freshmen days and see how unimportant we were. The class was saddened however, by its loss of a faithful member, Ralph Farrell. The third meeting of our class started off in a very serious way compared with last year. Margaret Curtis was chosen as our leader and Miss Pearl Jones as our adviser. The gay school life featuring the Society Reception and the Junior-Senior Banquet, helped eliminate the nervous mood of the class and the year passed very rapidly. We were again enjoying Commencement, watching with eager eyes the movements of the graduating class for we were to be in their place the next year. At the beginning of our fourth and last year together we met in a businesslike manner to prepare for the work of the year. The class, now thirty-five strong, elected Frank Batts President and Mr. L. E. Raper as adviser. The members went to work with a will and the Chsitk. with the students working hard under the leadership of Mr. Raper, began to take shape. Too soon the final examinations were at hand, and with a feeling of sadness we realized our high school days were numbered. We had always looked upon the graduating exercises as a thing of enjoyment, but there was a feeling of regret when we thought of leaving our grand old high school. We arc now gone and look back to our by-gone high school days. We leave with the hope that Cary High School is a better place for our having spent four years there. Twenty-four Class Prophecy FIFTEEN years ago, today, I bade my schoolmates of 1928-29 au re voir. Today, Friday the 26. 1944. one of the most remarkable coincidences of history occurred. The whirring of a motor and an upward glance told me that Col. Campbell wax arriving with the evening mail. Can you imagine my surprise when I received a letter from each of the 31 classmates of dear old Cary High ? If you won’t tell anybody that I told you I'll give you a brief record of the progress of each in their chosen profession. Azzie Lowe, in her letter, asked me if I remembered the days when we both planned to be stenographers. (I had forgotten but I didn’t tell her so.) Well, she has reached the heights of her ambition, as sin- is now the private secretary of President Nipper. Who would have thought that the happy go lucky Fred of our class would ever become the president of our nation? That is just what's happened. Martha? Oh, yes, she told me that she was giving one of her favorite readings before the King and Queen of England this coming Monday, but she doesn't know that I've hoard of the famous Martha Castlebury, for who hasn't heard of the elocutionist who can make thousands of people laugh or cry, as she so desires. Hy the way, do you remember Margaret Curtis? You know that she was always interested in gymnastics. Well, she told me in her rather short note, that she had just refused two otters to teach in two of the most renowned colleges of the U. S. to take charge of the Physical Education of Duke University. The reason she gave was that she wanted to be near her sister-in-law. formerly Ruth Cathey. Ruth told me that she was very happy because she is to go to New York to interview Madame Schumann-Heink who seems to be very much attached to her. She says that there is great promise in Ruth's voice. It seems as if she heard Ruth broadcast over W. P. T. F., Raleigh. N. C. and at once looked her up. In the long letter from Estelle Doyle, imagine what she told me. The picture for which she loaned her Madonna-like beauty has won great fame and the painter, who should it be but Jack Burrussl Of course, we knew something like that would happen but really he has risen higher than we thought ho would. If we could live a hundred years I'm sure he would Ik- classed with Raphael. Jack told me that he was rather proud of his success as he is only thirty-three and that he hoped to do even better in the years to come. Ah I I am disappointed in Mirrion Powers. We had so hoped that she would win some Olympic laurels for us. but she deserted the thing she was most interested in during her high school days and has become famous as a pianist. We knew that she was talented in music but we didn't think that sho would ever devote her life to a musical career. She has made good though, and we are proud of her. Kathleen Hollcman and Lois Copeland are featured in a Keith's Vaudeville act and I hope to see them when they come to Raleigh during the coming season. Dora Hardy writes that she and Lucille Doyle are going to come to Cary with the Chautauqua and that they arc very happy in their work. Lucille is studying commercial art. Mildred Hardy! I wonder if I dare tell you. She will probably be mad but I promised you I would tell you about all of my class- mates, so here goes! Mildred has married and been divorced twice. Think of it. our quiet little Mildred turning into a heart-breaker. Oh! Well. We knew that this world was funny and Mildred was Funny that way.” I know you are wondering what Sarah Yarborough did with her culinary accomplishments. She is now dietitian of a college for women in New York. At last Woodrow Sears has reached the time when he does not have to work. His great uncle died, leaving to Woodrow a fortune. Durwood Truitt told me that he was a successful business man of Chicago, 111., and he has advertised for a wife but in every case they have disagreed to such an extent that they decided they could not sail the sea of Matrimony together. Our classmate. Radford Bailey, has made quite a success at farming. He owns one of the largest truck farms in Florida and is perfectly contented. Gladys Copeland, dear old quiet Gladys, is superintendent of a school in Virginia and is dearly beloved by her pupils. Robert Pleasants and Billie Creel are rivals. Robert is the baseball coach at Duke University and Billie is the Coach at Carolina. A big game is coming off soon and I wonder which team will win. Dear people I'm sure you recall the tall, dependable boy of Cary who is now known as the second “Lindy.” This aviator is no other than Raymond Campbell. He flirts with death high up in the clouds and he told me that he often thought of his fellow classmates and wondered what they would say if they could see him now. Really, he is very different from the boy, we knew back at Cary. Ada Hockaday is now teaching dancing at Greensboro College for Women and if the reports I hear are true she is more than just successful, she is famous throughout our Nation. Fred Blaylock has charge of the largest chain of dairies in the U. S. and is the proud father of a fine lad of six. His sister? Oh I Yes. I remember now. Gertrude is in partnership with her brother and is of high value to him in the business. I have heard that Fred could not have been such a com- plete success without her. Clyde Early, our baby, did I say baby? Well, we can call her a baby no longer for she has outgrown her babyish ways. Can you imagine what she is doing? After studying medicine for years, she is now one of the leading physicians of Philadelphia. John Wyatt and Frank Batts are now racing with each other to see which can perfect perpetual motion first. Each thinks that he has obtained that which the scientists for centuries have been working for. Here's wishing them success. Do you remember how interested we were in the Stribling-Sharkey fight back in '29. Well, a fight of equal importance is coming off next week when Battling Nick Robinson meets Tom Barbee in Miami. Fla. Glenn Davis’s time is in great demand because he is known as a man who can take all of the static out of a 1930 model Atwater Kent radio. Quite an accomplishment, isn't it? I know you are wondering why I haven't mentioned Buena Vista Roycroft. Her letter was at the bottom of the lot and I have just finished reading it. She is making a name for herself in screenland and is still doing right.” She told me that her new picture is a story of her life and she reviews her life at cary. Each of our class of '29 has made a success in the game called Life, but I often wonder if they do not wish they could live again thorugh the days at Cary. I know that I do.

Class Poem We’ve shared together our sorrows and joys As up the rugged hill we’ve climbed. And as we pause upon its crest A feeling of melancholy passes over us As sweet reminiscences penetrate our mind. This ascension has cost many efforts and worries. And a great sacrifice upon the part of others, But we scarcely visualize this now. Yet, why should we deem all this a sorrow? Our ardent hopes and dreams have been realized. We are now prepared for nobler things— Things that will live generations to come. So never from this hill descend, But let your radiance brighten the world about you. Poet '29.

No. Is it major sports only? No. Is it mass play and mass athletics only? No. Is it formal calisthenics only? No. The development of the physical and neuro-muscular systems is included, along with formal calisthenics, major sports, mass play, and mass athletics; and ready response between muscles and mind is brought about. The real aim of High School athletics may be stated as follows: to encourage boys and girls to remain in school, to develop strong bodies, to give valuable training in obedience, team work, cooperation, and self-control, thereby developing mental power and fostering school spirit. Come play the game for all you’re worth. Come play it fair and well, Keep alive our High School spirit. With shout and song and yell, Even nearing victory with a single aim. For the glory of our school— Always to play the game ” Fifty-eight Football THE 1928 season was not very successful in the matter of games won and lost but much was done in developing new material. With only four letter men back, our team had to be completely rebuilt. The team was handicapped in this, by injuries and some of the boys leaving school. The team which was one of the smallest high school teams in the state, always fought hard against strong opposition and seemed to improve as the season went on. Claiborne Johnson was the best player on the offense; he always got off for long gains in each game. On the defence the work of Fred Nipper and Red Smith always stood out. Captain Creel led his pigskin warriors against some of the strongest teams in the east, including Apex, Clayton, Henderson and Garner. Fifty-nine er Sixty BASKETBALL, the only form of girls’ athletics supported at our school, is one of the most important sports of the school year. Several of the old regulars were absent, but their places were filled with new players, who were abundantly able to demonstrate the fact that they were ‘'in the game.” Much interest was manifested throughout the entire games played. The players are those who could always be depended on. It is needless to say that they will be missed when another September rolls around. Too much could not be said of the subs, as it is owing to their loyalty that it is possible to make a strong varsity in the future. Captain Curtis played a very consistent game ar.d was ably assisted by Roycroft, Yoder, Castlebury, Olive, Powers, H. Castlebury, York, Smith. Lowe, Lee. Sherwin, and Beal. Boys’ Basketball WITH four letter men back, our team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. Captain Rranton led his knights of the hardwood against some of the best teams of this section and finished in good style—losing only two games out of the fourteen played. Our team was probably the smallest ever to represent Carv High School, but made up for its size in speed and team work. Rillie Creel led the team in scoring and was closely followed by Claiborne Johnson, both of these players scoring over a hundred points. Captain Rranton always played his usual good game and was ably assisted by V. Pleasants, Johnson, Creel, Pinch, Ratts. Reale, Hackney, Hatley, R. Pleasants, Shearon, and Wyatt. In discussing the team's success much credit must be given to the subs. The subs were always at the practices and helped the team in those sessions as well as rendering timely aid in the games. Much credit must also be given to Coach Smith who has developed some fine players this year and also some good material for next year. A feature of the season’s play was the team's record in the Wake County league. The team won all of its games in this league, winning a silver loving cup. The team will long be noted for its ability to come back in the final minutes of play and the fine sportsmanship displayed by its members.

The prospects this year are extremely bright, having lost only two of last year's team and having much new material. Among the material for this year are Captain Glenn Davis, Eatmon. Johnson, Branton, Creel, and W. Pleasants, who have played regular for at least one season. Northcutt, Wyatt, R. Pleasants, Hackney, and Beale are players who have a good chance of playing and probably benching some of last year’s players. With these experienced men and the new material on hand the team should have a fine record. Sixty-two Tkack Candidatos What Would Happen If— Woodrow Sears would clean up his room?

SUPPOSE History of Cary High School THE Cary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913 by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm-Life School. The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State. Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Super- intendent M. B. Dry, was elected as his successor. The old two-storv wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 34 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls’ dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls’ dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. Tn the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of agriculture, home economics, teacher-training and science. Tt contains 18 rooms and cost $45,000. This building was named in honor of Cary’s most illustrious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and is known officially as the Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training. In the spring of 1925 a gymnasium was erected on the campus at a cost of about $12,000. This building was named in honor of Cary’s most distinguished and best beloved citizen, Dr. J. M. Templeton, and is officially known as the Dr. J. M. Templeton Building for Physical Education. Tn March, 1927, the school took another forward step by voting consolidation with several districts lying along the Seaboard Air Line and Southern Railway and extending from Raleigh to the Durham County line. Another brick building, the sixth since 1913, was erected at a cost of $31,000 to accommodate the increased attendance in the grades. This building contains twelve rooms and is used exclu- sively by the elementary school, and is known as the Marcus Baxter Dry Building. The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $275,000. Sixty-four Buena Vista: Read the directions on the bottle, Willa. Willa: It says “For Adults, one teaspoon”— B.

The Electric Button Stepping through countless generations, the mythical force which per- forms magical wonders for the hero of the Arabian Nights is found in the wall switch of every modern home, industrial establishment and busi- ness enterprise. This power today moves mountains with the ease that it whips an egg. There is hardly a task left that cannot be fulfilled completely, more quickly and at a less cost by the use of electric power. From the energy controlled by the switch on your wall you can light your home, cook your meals, refrigerate your food, sweep your rugs, wash and iron your clothes, pump your water and put a permanent wave in your hair. And this power, coming to you over copper wires, reflects the untiring energy that is maintained that you may have service.

Cary hatcheries, cooperating with the Cary Poultry Association, fur- nish a supply of quality chicks from well-bred, high-producing flocks. 3. C. P. A. Feed Department, another cooperative branch of the Asso- ciation, organized to furnish poultrymen with feed and all other poultry supplies at a minimum cost. 4. Cooperative Egg Marketing Department, through which is sold graded quality eggs from flocks of members. This division of the Asso- ciation is steadily increasing its volume of business by creating a demand on nearby markets for better table eggs. The best possible prices are received throughout the year by furnishing select retail trade with “the best to be procured” in eggs. The surplus eggs are stored during the periods of highest production in a nearby modern storage plant and carried over until the season of scarcity, when the best prices are received. 5. Cary is slated for a great poultry industry. With its ideal location for healthy flocks and good markets, it has grown in six years from less than 10 members with 500 hens, to more than 80 members with 15,000 hens. 6. Three well established community feeds are used. 7. Many small farms ideally located for poultry and egg production may be had in the community at a nominal cost for those wishing to move in and become members. 8. Some slogans we’ve used: “Better Eggs for Breakfast.” “Cary Invites You and Your Flock.” “Yours for an Independent Future with Cary Poultry Association.” “Help Us Make Healthy Homes Thru Our Better Egg Service.” “Keep ‘Hubby’ Happy by Feeding Him ‘Cary Eggs’ ” “When You Get a Good Egg, Remember Where You Got It, and You Will Always Be Thinking of Cary Poultry Association.” Would write a chicken joke, but we can’t decide about that first egg and first hen. Information always needed. AUTOGRAPHS BUILDERS DREAMS VISIONS created by the imagination precede the achievement of any really great accomplishment.
