Zllihnrnhaell Ziaapnes, Quint. ut brbuuls HORNNYELL HAYNES was born in South Carolina just after the Civil Var. He was educated at Wofford College where he received his A. B. degree. Later he attended Vanderbilt University where he received his Master's degree. ln 1900 he was appointed American Consul in France by Presi- dent Mcliinley. He resided at Rouen for tive years at the end of which time he was appointed to the important post at Vladivostock. 'llhe Russo-'lapanese XYar prevented his assuming duties there and he was transferred to Nanking, China. After remaining in China two years Mr. Haynes was promoted as Consul General to Singapore, the seventh largest shipping port in the world. There he remained for two years. On account of the deleterious climate in Singnapore his family was forced to return to America. lliscontented with this enforced separation Mr. Haynes returned to America to take up his left off profession, that of education. After having spent two years in South Carolina Mr. Haynes came to take charge of the High Point Schools in 1911. Since assuming the superintendency of our schools he has been enabled to bring the system up to such a standing that there are few schools in the State that can surpass it. The buildings have been enlarged, facilities for work have been increased, co-operation between patrons and school ofhcials as well as teachers has been made closer, and the personnel of the teaching force has been greatly raised. The city schools have never been such factors in the city life as today. All this goes to prove that Mr. Haynes is a master in his profession. As a man Mr. Haynes bears, without abuse, the grand old name of gen- tlemanf' Possessing such an exceptional personality he wins friends easily, and having the special gift of inspiration he holds his friends. On the side of right against wrong he always takes a stand and holds it unflinchingly regardless of the consequences. Teachers admire him for his courage, convictions and lead- ership. Pupils love him, for his very presence shows him to be a friend. Our schools will have to go a long way to Find his equal. ' -W. M.

The girls and hoys each have a team and although they have Won few games they have done unusually well. The Glee Club is another organization worth note. The pupils have tried to make it a success and under the management of Miss Vera Idol it has proved a success. The Boys' Literary Society, the Lincoln Literary Society, has also been a success. It has developed the gift of the boys to express their own ideas in such a way as they show their hearer that they know what they are talking about, thus making the boy develop into the man that he should he. The Athenian Literary Society, the girls' society, was just organized this year, but has grown rapidly and surprisingly, and in a few more years it will be one of the iinest in this State. Thus it may be clearly seen that though the schools of High Point do not come quite up to the required number of units to enter college, in other respects they are up with and surpassing other High Schools. -Bisssia 'FATE ' s is le.
