The corps of editors this year have spared no pains to make this edition of Snips and Cuts a success. Of course you will not, with all our care and painstaking attention, find a perfect annual. But We can conscientiously say that, under the circumstances, we have done our best. We Wish to thank all who have as- sisted us in any way. We trust that when speaking of this edition, you can say of the editors, Well done. THE EDITORS. 7 Ceacbere in the High School IRST in the hearts and minds of the pupils of Char- lotte High School is Mr. Harding. This is Mr. Harding's seventh year as teacher and principal of our school. This term he only teaches mathematics: algebra and geometry in the Junior Classes, and algebra and trigonometry in the Senior Class. Last term Mr. Harding also taught English, but on account of the in- creased numbers in the Junior Classes, it was necessary to secure extra teachers, so now he devotes his full time to mathematics. Nothing need be said as to Mr. Hard- ing's ability as a teacher. If you try to imagine that a proposition in geometry or trigonometry, or an example in algebra is diflicult, he, by his clear explanations and power of persuasion convinces you that your hopes are groundlesss, and even before the explanation is finished you are agreeing with him that it is indeed a nice little proposition. Besides Mr. Harding we have two other teachers, this being their first year with us, Mr. W. B. Davis and Mr. Pierce Wyche. The first of these, Mr. Davis, teaches Latin, Greek, German, French, and if need be, English also. Mr. Davis hails from Warrenton, N. C. He isa graduate of U. N. C. Since leaving college he has taught in several other places besides here. Last year he was with Davidson, teaching Latin and mathematics. The previous year he held a position with Catawba College. Mr. Davis has won a place in the hearts of all of us who have undergone his thorough and strict, but beneficial discipline. At the social 'he is one of us. Out of the school room he is a kind and thoughtful friend. During recitations he is all of these, a composite blending of all his virtues in one, Which, reinforced by his extensive learning, pedagogical strictness, serves to make hima universal favorite among the students of Charlotte High School. The latter of these, Mr. Wyche, the instructor of 8 English and History, is also a new, but able and efficient member of the faculty. Mr. Wyche is a graduate of Trinity, Where he took an A. B. course. Besides this he took an M. A. course at Wofford. Before obtaining the position with Charlotte school, he taught in the Hastoc High School Spartanburg. Mr. Wyche, by the thorough knowledge of his branches of the curriculum, is an invaluable addition to the corps of teachers 'in the High School. We have all, at least. the majority of us, spent many pleasant mo- ments with Mr. Wyche, who is a strong non-advocate of the old proverb: Spare the rod and spoil the child. Mr. Wyche takes a great deal of interest in the High School, especially in a literary way. It is mainly due to his constancy and untiring efforts that We have issued such a creditable annual. Besides the ones immediately associated with us, We have, Prof. A. G. Randolph and Mr. Farlow. Both of these are the able instructors of the Ninth grade, Mr. Randolph being also principal of the South School. The 9th grade is the stepping stone to the High School proper. No better persons could be found for the training of the near high schooler's than Messrs. Randolph and Farlow W. K. CARR, '11. wie Editorial Staff Chief Editors EDWARD KEESLER WILL K.

A .aff EDITORIAL STAFF USNIPS and CUTS Che Gray Stone Iiouse weary traveler slowly picked his Way over the rough, stony road leading toward the llttle village of Chester. He was cold and footsore, limping as he walked. Every now and then he cast his eyes upon his poor, hungry looking dog, walking by his side. Well, Rover, old fellow ! We can't get to the village to-night, that's certain! We'll hunt us a shack some- where and rest for the night. I don't suppose that we will have any supper either, although my pockets are full of money, for I am afraid to spend it. Oh! he muttered under his breath, how that miserly old woman clung to her gold, and she shrieked when I struck her. But she'll never scream again, and I had to have the chink. The dog looked up into his master's face as if in an- swer, and then trotted on at his side as before. As he spoke he went around a curve in the road, and he thought he could see in the distance the outlines of a building. When he came nearer, he saw that it was an old, gray-stone house, surrounded by tall oaks and unkept shrubbery. In the deepening gloom the old, gray build- ing loomed up dim and ghastly. Every now and then the leaves on the old oaks rustled as if swept by a gentle breeze, but no other sound was to be heard. The silence was oppressive, and as the ragged man approached the building, he whistled softly to the dog, as if to break the silence and, at the same time, dreading to do so. I-Ie cautiously ascended the steps. The door was partly ajar. We're in luck, old boy, he muttered, an empty house all to ourselves, if 1'm not mistaken l Walk in, friend, and in a jiffy we'll have a roaring fire. So saying, he pushed the door wide open, and swag- gered into the hallway, the dog meekly following at his master's heels. The man's steps seemed to awaken a thousand echos all through the deserted house. 12 N the fast fading light of a chill November day, a A n u His teeth were chattering. Strange, strange! he muttered under his breath. It Wasn't so cold out-doors, but in here it's cold and damp as a tomb. He felt his Way around in the hall, for it was now dark save for a little ray of light that came through the open door. He groped about until he found another door, which he opened and passed through. Taking from his pocket a box containing only three matches, he struck one, and by its light was able to see dimly his surroundings. He was in a large room, perfectly bare so far as he could see. He noticed with pleasure that the fire was already made for him, all but applying the match. The grate was filled with lightvvood, and a quantity lay on the floor close by. At that moment the first match Went out and left him in total darkness. Just then he was startled by hear- ing a strange cry. The dog whined piteously. Be quiet, Rover, he commanded. Didn't you ever hear an ovvl before? He hastily crossed the room, struck his second match and touched it to the fire. It caught and blazed up warm and bright, lighting up the entire room. The tramp held his fingers to the fire for a few seconds, then turned quickly, as if impelled by some invisable force, and looked around the room. He saw that it was large and square, containing two windows, and-oh! horrible sight! On the fioor in the center of the room Were large blood stains. He shuddered, and, unable to endure the sight, looked around for his dog, intending to leave the place at once. The dog had sneaked back in the shadows in one corner of the room, and lay, crouching with his nose to the Wall, Whining and trembling. Roverl he called, somewhat sharply. Just then the Windows rattled, the door slammed, and the blazing fire was extinguished in a moment. Again the strange cry rang out louder and more weird than before. The man was thoroughly frightened by this time. Hastily he struck his last match and held it to the light- Wood as before. Again he turned 'quickly and his gaze rested on the blood stains. 13 Oh! he shrieked, blood, blood! It looks like - he put his hands over his eyes and his lips were ashen- Come, Rover, let's go out of here. Quick! quick! And he rushed madly from the door. As he passed into the dark hall, the fire fiickered low for an instant and then suddenly went out again. At every step he made, he seemed to hear the tread of other feet all through the house. He reached the door-the front door by which he had entered, and which he was sure he had left open. It was closed and locked. Wildly he beat against it, but it stood firm. A cold perspiration burst over him. Wild with fear, he rushed with his whole strength against the door, but suddenly the strange cry sounded again, this time almost in his ear. He fell down against the wall and knew no more. Every sound ceased and over the mysterious house dark- ness and silence reigned supreme. It is said that the old gray-stone house was once the happy home of a rich young lord and his beautiful wife, but he had had a bitter quar- rel with his brother-in-law and had murdered him in cold blood. The shock killed his wife, and at her death he had left his home never to return. Soon among the simple country folk the belief that the house was haunted gained headway, and the place was dreaded and shunned by all who knew of its tragic history. Years afterward, the heirs of the property decided to explore the old stone house and so sent workmen to make it again habitable. In the hallway near the door they found, to their amazement, the skeleton of a man and close by its side lay the bones of a dog. C Y '11 14 Class Poem I. Softly the gentle summer breeze O'er the verdant fields doth blow, No more we think of winter's freeze, And of ice nor drifting snow. Bright shines the sun, the flowers bloom, And sweetly perfume the balmy air, There is no thought of winter s gloom, The joy of youth is everywhere. II. Eleven long years of joy we've had In learning, playing and in strife, Nothing too hard, nothing sad Has marred this summer of our life. The flowers of learning decked our way, Waiting the grasp of youthful hand, Working and toiling day by day, Happy victors now we stand. III. Winter comes with ice and snow, Flowers die, and birds no more Sing sweet songs. The breezes blow No longer oler green flelds but roar A song of gloom through lifeless trees. Thus 'tis with us as we depart From school days dear and hours of peace, From mates and friends so near the heart. IV. Yet though we feel the wintry gloom- As we leave our friends so dear, The bud of hope foretells the bloom Of future flower, so bright and rare, For from this sad hour when we part We begin the Spring of lifeg From now we only make the start To greater, grander. nobler strife.

My interest had been centered in one particular branch-the study of Field Glasses-and it had long been my ambition to de- velop an improved type. After finishing college in 1919 I realized that my opportunity had at last come to carry out my cherished plans. For six long years Ilabored over this incessantly, determined to evolve an Exrayoscope, a glass which, as the name implies, combines the prin- ciple of the field glass with the marvelous X-raypower. At last, one day when repeated failures had almost convinced me that my hope was a vain one, success sud- denly smiled upon me thro' pure accident. Iwas seated on a high knoll in a Western Montana village where I had gone to try my experiments. Ab- sently toying with the adjustment screws of my model, I was debating with myself whether it would not be a wise move to shy it at a saucy squirrel that was barking at me as if in derision of my dejection. If the little villain comes as near as that boulder I'll smash him, I said to myself. Its bad enough to have failed, and I'm not going to stand any guying, even from that bushy tail. He scampered on toward the boulder chattering and scolding as he came. Suddenly his vituperation passed my endurance limit, for as plainly as I ever heard the words pronounced he began saying: You fool, you fool, you X-rayfooool! In another instant my instrument went whizzing in the direction of squirrel and boulder and Bunny was scampering down the valley with a Whisk of his tail which seemed to class my impotent marksmanship along with my inventive genius. In picking it up I found it was not hurt and Idecided I would now turn it towards New York. But who is this dignified individual flying in such a beautiful airship. Why, bless my heart, it is Martin 22 Boyer, and he is on time! Hello, Martin. But I have forgotten, he is too far away to hear me. Y Where is Boyer? Oh, there he is entering the capitol. Now he is talking with the Governor of North Carolina- Mut Long -but their conversation is boring-it is about poli- tics. Martin is a statesman. I turn to seek others of the ordinary, every day class of empty eleven. Hi, McDuke, hi! where are you going all flossed up here in New York? My! exclaimed he, Icicles, how glad I am to see you! But say, have you not noticed my sign on Fifth Ave., reading: FRED MCCALL, Attorney, Law Building, New York City? Yes, butImust be jogging on. Oh, McDuke, don't hurry. Stop! tell me about our old C. H. S. classmates, have you knocked up against any of them in this dear old city? Why, yes, indeed. Bloss is here. I just passed a millinery shop up Fifth Ave., where she was making a talk on Woman's Suffrage. After that I could hardly wait to bid him adieu, so anxious was I to see dear old Bloss of yore. But arriving there I was at once convinced that all would be brought under her sway, when I remem- bered the genius she had displayed way back yonder in the High School days, in the debating contest. Crash! bang! All of this rumbling seems to come from a theatre in Paris. As I stood musing, whether to enter, three Hnely dressed ladies sweep by me chatting very gaily: Oh, no, indeed, I wouldn't miss hearing Madame Dorae Davis this evening for any amount. For some reason I followed. What was to meet my gaze! There arose the prima donna of the season, who was startling Paris with her magnificent voice-no other than my old friend, Dora Davis, with her name spelt and pro- nounced differently. Waiting after the opera, I felt myself very much honored to shake hands with Madame Davis of Paris, but lo! while we were talking, who should walk up but Rufus, Erwin, and Elizabeth, the same 23 trio that I had followed in. Well, my pieces, exclaim- ed I, who left the bars down and let you all in? They all readily explained to me about their studio, and Eliza- beth being the teacher of art, while Rufus and Erwin taught music. i Now for old Charlotte, and I turn about just in time to see Ruby teaching French to a class of boys at Raleigh, of which she is principal. I did but just have time to shake hands with my old pal and go jogging on' my way, but at the same time this seemed hard for I was so close to dear old Charlotte. i It is sad. I turn my eyes towards the country for a rest. But there is no rest, even out in Korea, for the first thing discernible in the ploughed lands is an old C. H. S. lover. Mary Smith is pushing a plough of goodness, and one from whose seed planting can one day be reaped souls for Christ. Instinctively I mop my forehead. Er, beg pardon, er, what isn't this Kate Squires? Will Carr, holy smoke I Er, Kate, why er, what are you doing in such a pitiable plight, ahem ? Kate shakes her head sadly as she answers: It is too long to tell, but the substance is that I thought I appreciated literature. I read Milton's Minor Poems and Lamb's Essays of Elia, and here I am, an old maid, and apt to die one. Will, pray what are you doing as Prof. of English at Yale College? Well, er, it is just this way: I have them fooled. Away! away! An ideal I now turn my glass over into another continent. But ho! who is this riding the Monorail in Heidelberg, where he has his headquarters, more than one of my old classmates of 1911, Edward. I next have the privilege of gazing upon one of the prettiest weddings Cin the Methodist church in Philadel- phial I have ever witnessed. For there was Lady Carr and sweet little Kate having the knot tied by Towsack, who later informed me that John was Editor of Puck. From there I turn the Exrayoscope towards Washing- 2-1 ton, and what do I see staring me in the face on Penn- sylvania Ave., but ED. WOLFE DEARMON. Architect, Rooms 505-506 Trust Building, Washington, D. C. Idecided to take a little time anyhow and go up to chat with Ed. and attempt in the meanwhile to find some- thing about Wayt and Dewitt. Ed. seemed very glad to see me, and beforel knew anything a half an hour had slipped away, but nevertheless I obtained information that Wayt was a prominent detective in the service of U. S., and that Dr. Austin was Head Surgeon of Johns Hopkins. However, this is no time for philosophizing for about a thousand miles away I spy my dearest old girl, Louise, entering a grand mansion with the 400 of New York City. Hump, groaned some one close to me, they think they are something. But to me they were considerable and I wasn't at all surprised to see Louise there if she still possessed those cunning and attractive ways of yore. Back across the sea for me. but hey! who is that walking the deck of the North Atlantic, and bearing that dignified air as if holding a commanding office, but Ad- miral Ulhman Seymour Alexander. Well, I have seen them all: my pleasurable, self- enforced duty is over. I will now join the worldly din and make my Great Exrayoscopeu known.

Johnson Billy Kincaid Geo. Washington Long Carl McClelland S. White Rhyne John Wilkes JUNIOR A CLASS Mary, Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth of Gngland O contrast the lives of two such women as Mary p U and Elizabeth there are of course many things to be considered. First, we should notice the envi- ronment of their childhood, the atmosphere in which they grew, their surroundings from babyhood to womanhood. Mary's childhood was spent at the French Court under the tutelage of the queen of France, whose main instru- ment of policy was the corruption of her children. This was for many years her home and here she imbibed a love for the beautiful in life rather than a knowledge of the serious which she so much needed in later years. Here there was no mother or sister to advise and admonish, to do and say the hundred little things that count for so much in the moulding of every girl's character. Her early engagement and marriage when only a child, to further the interest of Scotland, her later marriage and disap- pointments have a telling effect on her life. From all this Elizabeth was free. All her life she was self-reliant and independent. The earlier part of her life was spent at the castle of Hatfield with her sister Mary, who although a bigoted Catholic, failed to influence her younger sister, and as queen of England we see Elizabeth favoring either Catholics or Protestants as the occasion demands. She was a shrewd politician, knew whom to trust and how far to trust them. The one re- deeming feature of her character was her love for Eng- land. This was her all-absorbing thought. However vain, however selfish, however much she loved Elizabeth, she still loved England more. On the other hand, Mary's interests were all self- centered. She cared little for Scotland and nothing at all for England. Her purpose in life was to humiliate her rival, and to win honors for herself and her son. This child was her idol. Her own disappointments and sor- 28 rows she counted as nothing in comparison with his inter- ests and the glory that awaited him as heir to the English throne. All her hopes of domestic happiness, all the pleasures she should have enjoyed in this life were sacri- Iiced willingly on the altar of maternal love. The vivac- ity of her spirit not sufficiently tempered with sound judg- ment and the warmth of her heart, which was not at all times under the restraint of discretion, betrayed her both into errors and into crime. While there are many things in her life to be condemned, there is much to be pitied and more to be admired. She was cultured, capable of speaking and writing with equal ease and dignity. In form she was well nigh perfect. The modern Helen- the most beautiful, the weakest, the most attractive and attracted of women. In deep contrast to this picture we find Elizabeth a rather a homely woman, cultured as Mary was, yet vain and untruthful, overfond of dress, and the admiration of her court. Mary was a queen, Elizabeth a ruler, and after all these years we can view them as they were. But our na- ture's seem to wish to draw the veil of forgetfulness over the former's crimes, leaving only to us the beautiful and pathetic in the life of The lovely and unfortunate Mary. Elizabeth is presented to us as EngTand's greatest queen, majestic and powerful, a woman of rarest intellect, but lacking a woman's heart. M. D. R., '12, 29 Che Criangular Debate GJ N the twenty-first day of April there happened an MMM event of utmost importance to the Charlotte High School and of great interest to all the high schools of the State. This was the triangular debate between Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte. Greensboro sent two debaters to Raleigh, Raleigh sent representatives to Char- lotte, and Charlotte sent speakers to Greensboro. Each home team had the affirmative side and the visiting team the negative, so that representatives of each of the three cities discussed both sides of the question. The query was: Resolved that a tax should belevied on incomes of 33,000, or more. barring constitutional ob- jections. The affirmative side here was upheld by Messrs. Will K. Carr and Irwin Henderson, and their op- ponents were Messrs.Woolcott and Beckwith of Raleigh. The debate was a close one and the judges had a hard task before them in awarding the victory, but when the ballot was cast, it was found that the Raleigh boys had won. We have no cause whatever to be ashamed of our de- feat here, for this is the first time the Charlotte High School has taken part in a debate of this kind, while Raleigh has had experience before. Since we had to lose, we are glad that we lost to two such splendid fellows as Mr. Woolcott and Mr. Beckwith. Messrs. Tracy Huntley and Aubrey Elliott represented us at Greensboro, having the negative side of the ques- tion, of course. The two Greensboro debaters, with whom our boys had to contend, were reputed to have won every debate which they had participated in. Reputation, however, did not protect them and they became the vic- tims of the well aimed shots of Tracey and Aubrey. The result of the contest between Greensboro and Raleigh was in favor of the latter city's team. Thus, it is seen that Charlotte came out even, Raleigh on top, and Greensboro in the hole. The Triangular Debate was a success in every par- 30 ticular and was heard by large crowds in all three cities Debates like this one are not only educational but enter taining as Well, and it is to be hoped that We will con- tinue to have them in the future.

They had lived near each other all their lives and were never known to have a quarrel. Evelyn was a quiet, reserved girl, and was so sincere and had so much good common sense that she was liked by every one. Susan was quite a chatterbox, and so attractive and pretty that she was a general favorite. Both girls were in the Senior Class in the High School and were working very hard for the first place on the honor roll as this entitled the successful contestant to a scholarship in one of the leading colleges in their native State, Alabama. Evelyn'S heart was set upon winning the scholarship, her parents being too poor to Send her to college otherwise. Her father had once been a wealthy man, but had lost every cent of his money. Susan was the only daughter of a wealthy banker. Her parents knew that Evelyn would not be able to go with Susan unless she was the winner, still they wanted Susan to enjoy the honor. The examinations for the first quarter were held and Susan's average was just one point more than Evelyn's. Susan was very proud of her good mark. They always went to and from school together, and studied together every afternoon. It was nearly time for the second quarter examina- tions and both were studying hard. Evelyn worked late at night and early in the morning on her mathematics, which was her weakest point. They stood the examinations and each was excited to know which was successful, Monday morning they went to school early to find out their marks. The teacher told them that Susan's average was just a small fraction more than Evelyn's. Going home one afternoon, Susan was rejoicing that school would soon be out, and to think that the next year they were going off together! Evelyn had never 31 told her that she could not go unless she Won the scholar- ship, but she told her then, that her father had lost all of his money, and she would not be able to go to college. This disappointed Susan very much. She had never thought that her success would mean the separation of herself and dearest friend the next year. That night she lay awake a long time thinking about Evelyn. The thought occurred to her not to study very hard for the final examinations in order to give Evelyn a chance. She told no one of her plan. Evelyn noticed that Susan did not take the interest in her lessons which she used to. It had never occurred to her that it Was all for her sake. Although Evelyn had given up the hope of the schol- arship, she studied harder than ever. The girls were walking home the last day. Evelyn was sad because she thought it was the end of her school life. Susan told her that she might get the scholarship in the end as she had failed in one of her studies. They were to find out their grades the' next day. They went together and the teacher told Evelyn that her yearly average was more than Susan's. She was greatly surprised for she had been sure that Susan would Win it. She was so happy to think that they would again go to school together. It was hard to tell which was the happier of the two friends.

Whatever calling you follow with perseverance will be found fit for youg it will be your support in youth and comfort in age. All of man's performances, at which we look with admiration or wonder are instances of that resistless force of perseverance. For example, let us look for a little while at the life of that much-loved and respected woman, Mrs. Bessie Lacy Dewey and dwell a little upon some of the things she accomplished by unseltish persevering efforts. Mrs. Bessie Lacy Dewey was born in Virginia, the daughter of Rev. Dewey Lacy, D. D., a Presbyterian minister. The name Lacy rightly suggesting the strain of Hugunot blood that ran in the veins and which cer- tainly showed itself in the love of poetry, music and liter- ature, as well as in the devotion and loyalty to her religion and church. In her early childhood the family moved to North Carolina, and it was in this State that Mrs. Dewey's life was largely spent. She was educated at the famous school for girls and young ladies in Greensboro, Edge North, and also in Richmond, Va. Even in girlhood she showed wonderful intellectuality. A few years before the civil war she came as a young bride to Charlotte, and it was in this town that her young womanhood was passed and her later years, which were but a fulfillment of the promise given in her early life. Soon after the civil war, when the negroes were a free but helpless people, bound, if not by slavery, by ig- norance and superstition, Mrs. Dewey was active in trying to teach this race in a Sabbath school held for them in the basement of the First Presbyterian church. This was not an easy or a pleasant task perhaps, but with a true mis- sionary spirit Mrs. Dewey went to this school from Sun- day to Sunday, endeavoring to instill into these darkened minds the right principles of life. 38 Mrs. Dewey was also deeply interested in what was probably the first mission school for white children in Charlotte. We must remember there were no public schools here then, and there were many children whose parents were unable to pay the price of tuition in the schools. For this class a mission school was established largely by individual members of the First Presbyterian church. Mrs. Dewey was made treasurer, and no small part of the success of the school was due to her diligent efforts in raising the amount necessary to maintain it. The teacher employed was a widow and Mrs. Dewey said that when she paid the monthly salary, this teacher would always say as she folded up the bills and put them care- fully away: This is for my son's education. To-day that son is one of the most distinguished and scholarly ministers in the United States. So we see that Mrs. Dewey was actively interested in every phase of church work. Her love of music and knowledge of it led her to become organist of the church she so loved-and for many years she was organist and director of a choir that made that church conspicuous for its beautiful and Worshipful music. It was not easy to keep either choir or music up to her ideals, but by her faithful, untiring efforts and un- flagging interest, success was reached. At the time she reached middle life Mrs. Dewey was left a widow and became a bread winner. Then the music and the literature that had been her pleasure became a sburce of livelihood. She taught music and literature in what is now the Presbyterian College. In her work as a teacher, as well as in her own reading, she realized the need of more reference books and more volumes than could be contained in a private libraryg she saw that there was great need of a public library. She consulted some of the leading citizens of the town, and finally, after much thought, and with the co-operation of a few, the first public library was opened in Charlotte. Mrs. Dewey was the librarian and in this position she was an inspiration to hundreds of people, especially of the young with whom she was in close sympathy. There were many discour- 39 agements in regard to the library and numerous disap- pointments, but through it all Mrs. Dewey was faithful to her post, often indeed when in feeble and failing health. Through her sympathy with young people, she be- came the guiding influence of a circle of young women whose school-days were over, but who stillwished to study and keep in touch with the world of letters, and at Mrs. Dewey's death, it was this circle of young people that placed the bronze tablet in the Carnegie Library which reads thus: In memory of Bessie Lacy Dewey who inspired and kept alive The First Public Library in Charlotte This tablet erected by The Saturday morning Bessie Dewey Club May 1909 Nor is this the only visible monument to her. In the auditorium of the Presbyterian College there is a stained glass window of soft, warm colors, showing a suggestive pile of books, surmounted by the quaint old lamp of learn- ingg underneath are the words: In loving memory of Bessie Lacy Dewey with the appropriate line from Tenny- son- Death has made his darkness beautiful in thee. How did she accomplish so much? Did she go out as a lecturer and make public talks on the need of libraries or speak eloquently of the beauty of music and poetry? Did she have wealth to establish libraries, endow schools and colleges with departments of literature? Far from it I She gave herself! And although eleven years have passed since Mrs. Dewey's death, her infiuence is still felt, and there are many who will never forget the inspiration and the stimulus given to them by this noble woman. She being dead, yet speaketh. Q May we think of her noble life when the way seems too dark and the tasks too hard ISABEL CHAPMAN, '11, 40 Literary Societies On account of the large number of pupils in the High School this term, the faculty thought that more could be accomplished if we had two separate societies. Since there were two different rooms devoted to the Juniors it was decided that each room should have a literary society and that the members of the Senior class should be divided evenly between the two.

The students have settled many mo- mentous queries in the debates. Even the girls have now and then entered in the debates and judging from their sound and logical arguments, The Charlotte High School will turn out a goodly number of suffragettes. Besides debates we have recitations, declamations, dia- logues and the class papers. All of these are instrumental in carrying out the real objoct and aim of the societies- Intellectual, moral and social development. 41 Bill Davis Literary Society Ojicers First 45 Months PRESIDENT-Uhlman Alexander VICE-PRLSIDENT -Miss Lois Anderson SECRETARY-Miss Mary Shelton TREASURER-Martin Boyer CRITIC-Miss Elizabeth Bomar SUPERVISOR-Miss Ruth Bennett Ojicers Second Ali Months PRESIDENT-Paul McKane VICE-PRESIDENT-JOE Wentz SECRETARY-Miss Mary Shelton TREASURER-Martin Boyer CRITIC-Miss Elizabeth Bomar SUPERVISOR-Miss Ruth Bennett This society is an offspring of the original Alexander Graham, being named after Professor Davis, our beloved language teacher, This society meets at the same time as the other one and on their programs, practically the same features are followed.

WILL K. CARR, '11. :sig C. E. 5. Girls in College NE of the most noticeable features of the Charlotte Mmm High School is the encouragement to aspire to higher attainments. After the high school course has been completed it is the ambition of practically every student to go to college. A large per cent of the girls who have completed the course in the Charlotte High School, and are now in col- lege, have made excellent records. Nine-tenths of the girls who have made the highest honors have been grad- uates of our high school. Some of them have been through college and are holding important positions as teachers. In fact, a number of the most successful teach- ers in the public schools here obtained the foundation of their education in the high school. We are proud of the fact that almost every year the highest averages in the Elizabeth and Presbyterian Colleges have been made by two of our girls. One might argue that it is the ambition of the individual, but our boys have done much to perpet- uate the good reputation of our school. The practice that our girls have obtained in playing Basket Ball seems to have been of some value, for in the college records of athletics We find the names of many of our old girls prominent. The proper measure of a school's efliciency is not the number of fads and frills which burden its courseg in- stead, it is the result obtained. A glance at the records made in college by our graduates will, we believe, more than vindicate the quality of our Work. ELIZABETH BOMAR, '11. 43 C. Fi. 5. Boys in College INCE the eleventh grade was added, the Charlotte High School is rated higher than any other public school in the State. At present the course consists of seven studies: English, French, German, Greek, Latin, Algebra and Trigonometry. A pupil is required to take only four of these studiesg he may select more if he wishes, but English must be one of the four. The C. H. S. has a total of about nineteen units to its credit and most colleges and universities require only fourteen for en- trance. Thus it is seen that a graduate of the eleventh grade is able to enter almost any college or university without conditions and Without standing examinations. It is largely due to this fact that there are so many old students of the Charlotte High School in colleges to-day. The C. H. S. is Well represented at the University of North Carolina and is justly proud of the record its old students are making there. I is the highest mark given at the University and 2 is the next highest, etc. Mr. Cyrus Long, who Won the scholarship to the University last year by his exceptional yearly average of 99.5, at the end of the midvvinter examinations had the following marks to his credit: Latin I, Greek I, Mathematics I, English 2. Mr. Junius Smith, a last year's graduate too, who is also at the University, made the much desired mark of I on English. Both Mr. Long and Mr. Smith played on the varsity basket-ball team last season. Mr. Lenoir Chambers, who graduated at the C. H. S., and then went to Woodberry, is a member of the fresh- man class. His splendid marks Were: English I, Mathe- matics I, Latin I, History 2, German 2 and Oratory 3. Messrs. George Graham, Odom Alexander, Henry Smith and Will Belk, four boys from the C. H S., will graduate at the University this year. All of these play a prominent part in the life atthis institution. Mr. Graham is statistician of his class, one of the editors of the maga- 44 zine, and he was formerly the editor of the college an- nual, Yackety-Yack. 7' Mr. Belk is a varsity foot-ball player and stands Well in his class. Messrs. Alexander and Smith are making good records and are prominent members of several college organizations. We have a representation of forty-four boys in fourteen institutions in six different states. Every one is a grad- uate either of the tenth or of the eleventh grades. They are as follows: University of North Carolina-George Graham, Odom Alexander, Henry Smith, Will Belk, Marvin Ritch, Nor- man Vann, Joel McAden, Tate Denton, Spurgeon Cook, Junius Smith, Cyrus Long, Callie Little, Roy McNight and Lenoir Chambers, Jr. -14.

EDWARD KEEsLER, '11. 45 Class History 'll N the natural order of things the parting of ways 29 comes to us all: with some it is a season of rejoicing, with others of regret. The retrospection of our years at school brings both rejoicing and regret. Rejoicing that the hard study is over and regret that some good op- portunities have been lost and we cannot receive the plau- dit, Well Done' It would be more pleasant if the history of this class could show that we had been perfect scholars, but, alas, perfection is too hard to attain by the average boy and girl. We are not attempting to give a full history of this class, only the essentials and they cover a space of eleven years. During the primary grades, recess was the most impor- tant part of each day. For that was the only real recrea- tion period because th-e afternoons were filled with thoughts of Stoddard's Arithmetic and that blessed blue back speller. The advanced grades with the Latin translations and conjugations made the occasional holiday a joy, for just as other boys and girls do, we obeyed much, thought little, and saw the reason for nothing. Life was onelong antic- ipation of vacation time. The first year of High School saw our original number very much decreased. Some left for larger fields of work and others felt themselves well enough equip- ped for life to give up school altogether. One of our regrets is that they are not with us today, and here, the sad thought fills our hearts with sorrow that the grim reaper, death, removed from this class one that was beloved by all. In the midst of a promising career, Morrow Russell was stricken with typhoid fever and died leaving a vacant place in the hearts of teachers and class. May light perpetual shine upon him. Now a word for our beloved teachers, from the first on, they were the ones who had the real trials. During 46 the last year it has been our honor and pleasure to be asso- ciated With three of the best. They have counseled, directed, and led us through the hardest years at school, and, sho.1ld We attain greatness in the field of knowledge them belongs the praise. As a class we have stood together and now that the parting must come, we hope that the associations in the Charlotte High School will always be an inspiration to each and every one to seek only the things which are best. LOUISE BIBB SPONG, Historian. 7 fs xg 47 Che Hdvent of Christ UGUSTUS was Emperor. From Britain to Meso- . potamia, from cold Russia on the North to torrid A-asf- '35 Lybiaon the South, the world wassimply a Roman farm, and with all its lovely islands the Mediterranean was a Roman lake. The stately mistress of cities dictated laws to Britain, Gaul, Germany, Spain. Scythia, Judea, Syria, Byzantium, Egypt, and Greece. Though many of the conquered nations as the Ger- mans, Scythians, and Gauls were fierce and strong, they had been subdued and were overawed by an army of 300,000 soldiers, as well trained and disciplined a force as ever was organized. With its beak of brass and talons of steel, the fierce eagle had conquered man, and when he flapped his wings the whole world trembled. There was almost universal peace. By the courage and consummate generalship of Julius Caesar, the most formidable nations had been vanquished, and since the death of Pompey and the end of the civil war, the empire was swayed by a single autocrat. Paganism was on the decline. The exquisite temples of Greece had begun to decay, and there arose no new ex- pounder and defender of the ancient faith. But the genius of Rome had not passed its zenith. Seneca was born the same year as St. John the Baptist. Thousands still lived who had listened to the eloquent orations of Cicero. It was but the other day that the sweet voice of Virgil had fallen mute, and only a few years had passed since filthy old Charon had Horace for his passenger. Imperial Caesar, the author of the incomparable Commentaries, and his friend Sallust were not long dead. Livy, one of the brightest ornaments of the Augustan Age, was living when the Divine Mother sang the stately measures of the Magnicat. Under its beneficient ruler the proud and majestic daughter of Ilium was fast becoming a mountain of marble palaces, baths, temples, and theatres, the grandest that 48 ever the head of man conceived or the heart of man desired. But in Rome itself under all the veneer of refinements. coarse tastes and fierce passions reignedg the same patri- cian who at a false note in music would writhe in graceful agonies, could order and watch with pleasure a delicate female slave tortured with red hot irons. It was a fit time for the moral commencement of a movement that was greater and purer than Stoicism, and that concerned individually every person ever to exist. A dry rot had got into Paganism. Idolalry and hero- worship were tottering to ruin. Satiety was the prevail- ing mood of the wealthy, and hopeless despair and misery of the down-trodden millions. So during this condition of wickedness, one cold starry night, the heavens opened over the J udean hills, and a company of angels and archangels and all the glorious hosts of heaven came down to announce the advent of the Prince of Peace, and the reign of Love.

CARR, JR., '11 50 Bow Hume Elon the Game Freshman and Sophomore students of Mitchell MW! College, but it was the most exciting game they had ever played. I never saw such playing, the Sophomores made beautiful passes but the Freshman guards kept the forwards from throwing a basket. Both sides were eager to win the game, for both had won one game in a series of which this was the third. The exciting play went on nip and tuck until Anne, the best player on the Freshman team, slipped over a line into the center's field and a foul was called. Poor Anne felt mortiiied. Time was nearly up for the first half and she, the one they expected so much of, had made a foul. Breathlessly she watched the girl about to throw the ball and so did every one else. The referee gave the sig' nal and the ball dropped into the basket after struggling hard to fall out. The spectators shouted with great applause, and the Sophomores gave a rousing cheer for the successful forward. The ball was thrown between the centers and the Fresh- man player knocked it straight into a Sophomore guard's hands. It easily passed over to one of their forwards. There was a hard struggle, but still no fouls, and the Sophomores kept the ball on their side, but could not put it into the basket. At lasta Freshman guard got it and pitched it into the hands of Anne's associate forward. Why doesn't she throw it to me? Anne thought. At last the girl saw her chance and the ball came spinning toward Anne. She caught it and threw it some where- she did not when-and at the same time the refereels whistle blew to calltime. Such a shout you have never heard-I know now our Freshmen can make more noise thano ur Sophomores-for the ball went into the basket. But the cheer died as quickly as it rose, for the cruel whistle had sounded just before the play was made. That 51 ES, it is true, this was only a game between the score could not count. The players left the court to rest, the score being one to nothing in favor of the Soph's. Such a thing had never before happened in the history of the College, and every one was very eager to begin the next half, After what seemed ages, the centers took their places and the game started. The ball was on the S0phomore's goal and every ball their forwards threw missed the basket. A most dreadful thing happed next for Anne had made another foul. This was not very bad for the Freshmen though, because the Soph. forward missed the gcal, but they kept the ball a long time. The score was still one to nothing in the Sophornore's favor and looked as if it would soon be two to nothing, when the ball was thrown toward the centers for some reason. The Freshman center succeeded in passing the ball to Anne Although she knew the time was nearly up, she remaineil perfectly cool and aimed beautifully. The ball went into the basket, not even touching the ring. Yells and clapping filled the place, for time was up just after the throw and Anne had won the game for the Freshmen! Her throw counted two and that left the score two to one in the Freshmen's favor. LUCY BOMAR, 'l2. QQ 52 '- - f t- 1 1, f- f TI' f '. - - f.

During the Christmas holidays we enjoyed an evening together in the parlors of the Y. M. C, A. These were attractively decorated with the garnet and gold of 1911. The eleven gay couples of our class celebrated the evening as only schoolmates can, and ample justice was done to the refreshments, ices, candy and fruit. 9pread. , The Seniors gave a delightful spread in the tea-room of the High School, soon after the holidays, at the noon recess. The teachers were invited and all satisfied ready appetites With the good lunch prepared by the girls and the generous supply of fruit furnished by the boys. Valentine Party Another pleasant occasion was the unique valentine party given by the Junior B's. The pretty home of Miss Jonnie Carr, whither the guests were summoned by ap- propriate invitations was tastefully decorated. Games, lively and entertaining, were enjoyed and delicious refresh- ments were served by the hostess. George washington 'Cea On February, the twenty-second, the Junior A's en- tertained the Seniors at a George Washington Tea, at the home of Miss Louise Lineberger on Ninth Street. The decorations were red, white and blue, and the color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. The Juniors in their 53 cordial manner entertained their guests with various new games. The glee club added exceedingly to the pleasure of the evening by singing several of their choice selections. farewell Party On March 15th, Miss Ruby Polk and Miss Dora Davis gave a farewell party to Uhlman Alexander, who left the following day to enter the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis. The entire Senior Class and the faculty were invited. It was a perfect night and all enjoyed the even- ing very much, despite the fact that one of their most popular classmates was leaving them. And in order to make his departure as pleasant as possible, and that he might carry with him the brightest recollections of his old friends, an entertaining contest was arranged by the hos- tess and the evening's pleasure was ended by an old- fashioned Virginia Reel. The whole school regretted the loss of two of their most popular members, Miss Gordon Field and Mr. John Wilkes. The Junior B's gave a spread in Miss Fields' honor, before she left to make her home in Sumter, South Carolina. Mr. John Wilkes left just after the holidays to enter the Naval Academy, Annapolis. E. B. 8z L. Y. 'SEQ F4 1' isbermaifs Luth called Pine Tops I was spending the winter with my aunt who lived two miles outside of town. Every morningl walked into town to school, with my din- ner in a basket, forschool was not dismissed until 4 o'clock and we had our dinner at recess. About the happiest moment at school for us boys was at the ringing of the bell for the dismissal of school on Friday afternoon. It was then that we were let loose to enjoy ourselves that evening and the next day. One Friday afternoon, about the middle of April, four of us boys were walking home, discussing what we would do for a good time the next day. We finally decided to go on a fishing trip to White's mill pond. We then separated and hurried on home to make our preparations. After I had put away my books, I hunted up my fishing line and bait bucket and told the cook to prepare a large basket of lunch for me. V I went to bed early that night and, after dreaming all night about catching five pounders and the like, I awoke about half-past four. Dressing hurriedly and getting my things together in short order, I set out at 5 o'clock to meet the others at the railroad crossing. We all started out in good spirits, and after walking seven miles, reached the pond a little after seven. This pond was a very picturesque place. On one side stood an old broken down mill which was no longer in use. It was here that we deposited our lunch for safe-keeping until dinner time. A large part of one side of the pond was filled with cypress trees and among them were many cypress knees projecting above the water. The first thing to do was to find a place where we could get our bait. We found a damp, shady spot under a tree and began digging. After nearly filling our bait can went over to the bank of the pond and settled down to fish. We sat hopefully waiting for a bite for about half an hour, 55 WO years ago I went to school in a little village . - . but the fish didn't come our way. Growing tired of sitting still, we got up and walked around the pond-to give us luck-and then tried again. We sat patiently waiting in the hope that there might come a stray bite or two, but fortune was still against us, the charrn failed to work At last dinner time came, but we, as yet, had had no fish. We started off eagerly after our lunch, butimagine our dismay when we found that a hound, which belonged to another fishing party, had just saved us the trouble of eating it. There we were, four hungry, tired boys, who had fished all morning without any success and no dinner! One of our number happened to bring along a light lunch in his pocket which was not enough for one person. How- ever, having nothing better, we divided this among us, but it only aggravated our healthy young appetites. Resting a little after this very light refreshment, we baited our hooks for a last trial. It was not Very consoling to watch the other party, who were having some rare sport. I had been watching them for some time and had almost forgotten my own line when suddenly I got a bite! This was rather exciting, but when I pulled my catch up it proved to be only a little goggle-eye. This, though, was better than nothing. Finally, it became evident that there were no more fishfor us, so we started home, very hungry, very disap- pointed, and decidedly out of humor. On the way back there came a diversion which revived our spirits a little: this was in the shape of a big black snake, which we slew, after performing prodigies of valor. After such a de- lightful adventure we even had the courage to scare the little darkies that we met along the way, with the snake's remains. Ihad the goggle-eye cooked for my supper, but you may be sure that I remembered the mill-pond lunch and made speedy and full amends-very full. My dreams that night were of monster snakes with goggle-eyes. MARY C. SMITH '11, 56 i i -1- 0 lx r -S 1 J i .i wMW: E '2 We K- J a Q '- BasljiBall HE C. H. S. did not put out a football team this year, and as Basket Ball was the only game played during the winter months there was naturally a great deal of interest in the game. Scrub games were played at every recess and in this way some good material was developed for the varsity, and some that will be heard from next year. Early in the season the Athletic Association elected Mebane Long, Manager, and Edward Keesler, Captain. After giving each candidate for the team a fair trial the following were selected for the team-John Wilkes, cen- terg Mebane Long and Caldwell Young, forwardsg White Rhyne and Edward Keesler, guards: with Will Carr, substitute. Towards the middle of the season the person- nele of the team was greatly changed on account of the de- parture of John Wilkes for Annapolisg Joe Wentz being added the team as forward and one of the forwards being shifted to a position as guard, with one of the guards going to center. The team this year was lighter than any that has ever represented the school, but undaunted by this handicap they set to work practicing with such vim and determina- tion that they were soon in condition to give any team a close game, for what they lacked in weight they made up in team work. To introduce the season the team journeyed down to Monroe and defeated the High School team of that town by the score of 31 to 24. Next came what was supposed 57 to be the Davidson Scrubs, but on the team were three Davidson Varsity men and of course we did not have a show, the game ending 57 to 18, with Davidson on the large side of the score. The team then played three games with the Charlotte Junior Athletic Club team, a team which was composed of older and heavier boys than those of the school team. In the first game the C. H. S. beat them 23 to 14 and the second was won by the Club team 28 to 21. The deciding game was played with John Wilkes, one of our best players absent and the game went to the C. J. A. C. by the exceeding close score of 20 to 18. Then in rapid succession the C. H. S. won three straight games, one from Monroe 59 to 6, and two from the South School, the first ending 28 to 12, and the next, which was the last game of the season, 45 to 15. Summing it all up we find that C. H. S. won five games and lost three. All the defeats were inflicted by heavier and more experienced players. Nobly did the team uphold the honor of the C. H. S. and every student is proud of all the boys, who played their hardest whether in victory or defeat and the season of 1910 and 1911 will go down in the annals of the school as one of the most successful during its history. The prospects for next year's team are very encour- ing, the team will, it is thought, be heavier than this year's team. Two of' this year's varsity will be here next year and two or three of this year's scrubs will make some one hustle to beat them out of a place on the team. There are also several experienced players coming over from the ninth grade who are almost sure to make the team. JoE WENTZ, 'l2. 58 I I Base: all I I T the close of the basket ball season, the Athletic Association of Charlotte High School met for the purpose of electing a manager and a captain of a representative baseball team. Mebane Long was chosen manager and White Rhyne captain. As soon as the backbone of winter-as the saying goes-had been broken, the boys began to warm up, and to talk of the prospects of having a winning team. As the spring season advanced, the hopes of having such a team grew higher, and the boys were in high spirits when they were called to practice by manager Long. The first practice was to be iheld on the South school grounds. When the boys of C. H. S. arrived on the scene of action they found the boys of Baird's Prep. School also engaged in spring practice. The Baird boys were in for playing a practice game, and as it would be good for both teams, the manager of C. H. S. decided to play with them. The boys of C. H. S. lined up as follows in the positions they were trying for: Long, pitcherg Rhyne, catherg Thomas and Evans, first baseg Wentz and Henderson, second baseg McCall, shortstopg Stitt and McKane, third-baseg and Davenport, Brown, DeArmon, J. Carr, W. Carr and Mc- Clellan were contenders for positions in the outer gardens. As the Baird boys had been practicing for a week or so, and the C. H. S. boys had had practically no practice at all, the result of this game could be easily foreseen. The score was 10 to 7 in Baird's favor. However, our boys were not discouraged by any means, and in two more practice games they came back strong and won handily from Baird's by the scores of 14 to 10 and 12 to 7, respec- tively. The next game Was played with the Definers, a strong nine under the management of Lacy Seawell. We were defeated by this team by .the score of 12 to 8. Although we were beaten in this contest, the game was 59 not devoid of features from a C. H. S. standpoint, for the pitching and batting of Long are well worth mentioning. A bevy of loyal High School girls witnessed our defeat. On Monday, April 17, was played one of the most brilliant contests ever engaged in on the South School grounds. The adversaries were Charlotte High School and Bairdls Prep. School. The keen rivalry which now existed between these teams made the contest all the more exciting. These two teams battled for ten innings with- out a runner's having crossed the pan. In their half of eleventh inning, the Baird boys scored two runs. The B. P. S. adherents almost went wild. Nothing daunted, however, the C. H. S. boys came in for their half of the inning with the spirit of grim determination glowing in their eyes. They not only tied the score by timely hitting but they also shoved the man with the winning run around the bases. The final score was 3 to 2 in favor of the old High School. Tanner, the opposing pitcher, deserves es- pecial mention for his creditable pitching. To date, we have won three games and lost two. Here's hoping we shall add some more victories to our string. F. B. Mc., '11. SZ WS 60 MISS SMITH MISS KERR MISS BOMAR MISS SPONG MISS BLOOM MISS BENNETT CARR WENTZ LONG YOUNG KEESLER RHYNE Macbeth and Lady Macbeth ACBETH represents the outer or practical lifeg b Lady Macbeth is a is a representative of the inner or intellectual life. Macbeth's sphere is the World of action and of this he is master, but he is Uuninfluenced by the cultivation of the inner life, ,and lacksthe self discipline Which, at the beginning of the play, was the chief characteristic of his wife. The two opposing natures have been united in a happy mar- riage, and the dark tragedy is softened by the tenderness of demeanor which appears on both sides. Let us see which was the first to choose the life of evil. In the speech of Lady Macbeth,- What beast was't then That made you break this enterprise to me Nor time nor place Did then adhere, yet you would make them both, itis shown that the original choice for evil was made by Macbeth. Lady Macbeth may be pronounced the ruin of her husband in that, after the choice has been made, she, by her firmness and strength of character, holds him to his purpose. Macbeth served the god of ambition and in his ambi- tion he is selfish. Although ambitious in the greatest degree, and for his ambition plunged into horrible crimes, he is still vacillating and must be spurred on by his wife, In the mind of Lady Macbeth ambition is the ruling pas- sion, yet there is no trace of selfishness. Never through- out the play do We find her meditating upon her own gain, but upon the power and glory her husband is to possess. It is for Macbeth that she is ambitious and for him she sacrifices every Womanly feeling, even silencing the still small voice of conscience against this dark deed. 63 Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top full Of direct cruelty. Stop up the access and passage to remorse, That no compunctious visiting of nature Shake my fell purpose. Macbeth's lack of training in thought has left him Without protection against the superstition of his age. He is dominated by the supernatural and puts utter confi- dencejin the sayings of the witches. It is the air-drawn dagger -created by his superstition-that causes him to waver and falter from the murder of Duncan. Because of his superstitionfthe finger of suspicion is first laid up on him. At a banquet, in the presence of his 'nobles, he sees the ghost of Banquo, and completely mastered by his supersti- tion, betrays his guilt. In desperation, when even the courage inspired by his crimes has forsaken him, he seeks the witches. He does not doubt the truth of their words but trusts them absolutely. Lady Macbeth has none of the weakness of her hus- band. No apparition or air-drawn dagger terriiies her,- she disdains the fancies and imaginings of the weaker Macbeth. When Macbeth is so disturbed by the ghost at the banquet, she does not lose her presence of mind but skilfully strives to keep Macbeth's condition from appear- ing unusual. She always shows the coolest judgment and is never weakened by superstition. Macbeth is essentially the practical man, the man of action. His is a very energetic nature. So long as he is active, remorse does not bring his crimes, in all their hide- ousness, before him. But when he is idle he becomes a prey prey to horrible imaginings. Thus when feasting with the nobles, he is terrified by Banquo's ghost. Lady Macbeth is of a less energetic disposition than her lord,-she is a deeper thinker although Macbeth represents the outer life, he is 64 less practical, in the strictest sense of the word, than Lady Macbeth for he is practical only in a general way, while Lady Macbeth deals with the minutest detail. Although Lady Macbeth is endowed with wonderful strength of purpose, she is still a woman and cannot slay Duncang he resembles her father in his sleep and her hand is powerless. Macbeth was emotional and we can imagine him even in his contemplation of crime groaning for the pain of the victim, yet he does not, like Lady Macbeth, allow his emotion to prevent the execution of his plans. At the opening of the play, Macbeth is the weakling and must rely upon Lady Macbeth's strength of character. She taunts him with lack of courage and spurs him on to murder,-she it is who arranges the details and supports Macbeth's weakness with her own strength. But when the deed is committed, her overtaxed nerves give way and she loses consciousness. From this time forward, Lady Macbeth weakens while her Lord's strength increases. He plunges deeper and deeper into crime and becomes hardened, while Lady Macbeth suffers in silence and finally loses her reason and wonderful strength. Mac- beth, thus forced to rely upon his own resources, becomes desperate and in his desperation becomes courageous, even to fight Macduff, exclaiming,- Yet I will try the last, Before my body I throw my warlike shield. Lay on, Macdui, And damn'd be him that first cries, Hold, enough! MARGARET LOUISE YOUNG April 12. 1911. l Che Haunted House WAS visiting my aunt in one of the suburbs of a A large northern city. She was an elderly lady, so there wasn't much that a young girl could do to amuse herself and becoming tired of the solitude of the house I determined to take a horseback ride. It was a bitter cold afternoon, but riding exhilirated me and I rode much farther than was my intention. After a while I came to the outskirts of a large forest and was at once seized with a desire to explore itg so, tying my horse to a tree, I climbed over the fence and walked along the narrow path. It was a place of undiscovered delightsg never before had I seen such a beautiful spotg so loath was I to leave that I did not notice that the shadows of night were fall- ing, or that dark clouds were gathering above me, but when I did realize this I was frightened to find myself alone in the dimly lighted forest. It grew darker and darker, and every bush and tree seemed to take the form of some terrible monster. A bird brushed my face as it went flying by and I screamed in terror. The rain now began to fall softlyg would my aunt never miss me and send some one to the rescue, I wondered 'Z A flash of lightning revealed to me the outlines of a house in the distance and I decided to make my way to- wards it. I crawled along on my hands and knees at times be- cause the bushes were so thick and I was afraid of falling. At last I arrived, and oh what bitter disappointment to find it long since deserted, but I had to have shelter for the night. I went up the steps,but paused on the thresholdg my heart seemed to stop beating and I grew cold with fear as I heard the sound of muffled footsteps and some one groaning. Could this be the Haunted House I had heard the servants speak of? I asked my confused brain. 66 But I was determined to go in, for I was wet and nearly frozen to death. The lower rooms were hot and smelled so musty that I decided to go upstairs and see what it was like. I crawl- ed up the narrow broken down stairs and opened the first door I came to and this is what a flash of lightning showed me as I stood in the door paralyzed with fear. Skulls encircled the wall, the floor was stained with blood, the ceiling was a mass of bats, and in the next room I could see numberless figures, swathed in white, dancing weird dances, a wolf howled, and an owl screamed outside the window. As I stood gazing the skulls came down from the wall and joined their fellows in their dancing. A door slam- med below me and I heard some one crying in an agonized voice for help. Would no one ever come to deliver me from this horrible torment? My knees were growing weak and I was almost ready to fall when, hark! was it the sound of some one coming on horseback to rescue me, or was it a robber who had his den in this house coming to kill me and hang my skull upon his wall for decoration.

Glee Club T the beginning of the past school term there was A manifest need of some organization which would have for its object the training of the voices of the C. H. S. boys. There were several excellent singers in both the Junior and Senior Classes, and there were also many poor voices which could stand some improvement. These amateur song birds would congregate in corners and nooks of the school grounds and make some feeble attempts at harmony. These trials, though far from dis- closing anything startling, proved that there was good material for a male chorus in the High School. Finally it was decided to organize a Glee Club. Mr. Keesler, the competent professor of sight-singing in the public schools, was chosen director. There were many candidates and the manager had some difficulty in placing each person in the group where he could do the best work. Ultimately they were arranged as follows: First Tenors- Tracy Huntly, Will Carr, Mebane Long and Wayt Thomasg Second Tenors-William Kincaid, Joe Wentz and John Carr, First Basses-Julian Woodruff, Caldwell Young, Edward Keesler and Lee Stitt, Second Basses-Martin Boyer, White Rhyne and DeWitt Austin. The club was given half an hour every Friday for practice, and during this period for several months Mr. Keesler and his pupils labored faithfully, trying to har- monize their voices to the tune of The Jolly Black- smithsf' This being accomplished, they next turned their attention to a much easier composition, The Little Pica- ninny. The first performance was given at the debate between the high schools of Raleigh and Charlotte in the Hanna Hall. Each boy did better than ever before, and if there were any discords they were drowned by the piano. The songs served as an agreeable diversion and were greatly appreciated by the audience. It was truly said that, though Charlotte lost the debate, the Glee Club scored a decided success. 75 After their first appearance in public, the boys went to Work with increased eagerness and corrected what mistakes had been made in their performance. They are expected to render an excellent programme at the coming Class Day exercises, and it is certain that they will do much better than previously. The Glee Club is certainly greatly indebted to their efficient director, Mr. Robert Keesler, for his untiring perseverance in drilling and fitting them for their per- formances. Often he would exhibit patience which would be worthy of emulation by Job himself. Again and again he would request some group to sing their part over in order to correct some small defect of tone. Many times he would have the song repeated in order to obtain that inde- finable something called Harmony He has shown him- self to be not only an excellent musician, but alsoa patient and persevering teacher. The Glee Club may not have exhibited any extraor- dinary genius, nor has it brought forth a second Caruso, but it has certainly helped train a few good voices and in- stilled all its members with the do-your-best spirit, which will help them all in after life. J. W. C., '11. 1 76 Electrical Development in and Hrouncl Charlotte N respect to electricity Charlotte is surpassed by no other city of equal size, and excels many of even greater population. Besides the Southern Power Company, which surrounds Charlotte with a network of power lines, and which will soon surround her with a net- work of electric railroads, many small companies in the nearby towns produce electricity. The Catawba River affords a great amount of water power, and, on account of the cheapness of operation, much of it is utilized for the production of electrical ener- gy. This is transmitted many miles to furnish the cur- rent for different towns and cities. Charlotte now has an electrical system which is almost ideal. It receives its electricity from the Catawba River wholely now, and not from gas or steam plants in town as formerly. This power furnishes the lights, runs the cars, and turns the machinery in Charlotte. There are five distinct lines from the River to Charlotte, not connected in any way, so that if one should be disabled by a storm or other occurrence, the others would be left. In case they were all out of use for some reason, which is not likely, there are still left the gas and steam plants in Dil- worth. The gas engine can be started in five minutes, so there is no danger of the cars being stopped or the lights being out for any length of time. As is well known, almost half the cotton mills in the entire South are within a radius of a hundred miles of this city. Nearly all of them are now driven by electricity. Even where the mill itself is on a stream, instead of turning the machinery directly by a huge waterwheel, electricity is first produced and then power is transmitted to the ma- chinery by means of electric motors. By this method the power is more evenly distributed throughout the whole mill, and many long lines of shafting are done away with. 77 Mills are still run by steam engines, but generally indirectly through the medium of electricity. A street car line has recently been constructed in Con- cord, North Carolina. Unlike most of the systems now in use. the cars are equipped with the new Edison storage battery and do not depend upon trolley Wires for their current. This system saves the trouble and expense of putting up and maintaining a trolley line and it does away with the unsightly poles along the street. We are ahead of the rest of the United States in at least one phase of electrical development, that of obtain- ing fertilizer from the air. A German is the inventor of the scheme. To run a plant of this kind greater water pressure at very little cost is required. The Southern Power Company easily supplies this necessity and it has already begun Work on a plant at Great Falls, S. C. The inventor himself and other European experts are now en- gaged in carrying on the Work, and it will be the first en- terprise of its kind in America. If these plans are suc- cessfully carried out, the price of fertilizer will be so lessened that this article Will be Within the reach of every cultivator of the soil. There are now in the countries of France, Norway, Italy and Austria plants for manufac- turing fertilizer in this way. The engineering firm of Tucker and Laxton, of this city, lately installed a plant at Great Falls for purifying drinking Water. Water, after being passed through re- ceptacles containing ozone, is so purified that tests shows an absence of all contaminations. The ozone is produced by a simple electrical device, and the cost of production is very cheap, when it is considered how many diseases re- sult from impure Water. U It will be a great improvement over the system now in use, for scientists agree that water purified by chemical processes is injurious to the human body. It is to be hoped that ozonized Water will soon be in use in Charlotte. Certainly the most important developments are the Interurban Car Lines. These are not to be mere street car lines, but will be full fledged railroads, having regular 78 coaches and carrying freight. The one to be constructed by the Southern Power Company will run from Charlotte by way of Gastonia and King's Mountain to Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson and Greenwood, S. C. Another line is said to be projected from Charlotte to Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Durham, and there is some talk about a road from Asheville to this city. Charlotte will be benefited more than any other city, because it will be the very center of the whole system. People can then catch a train at almost any time, either on the electric or steam railway. They will be able to ride on clean, noiseless trains, and not be bothered by dirty cinders or the noise from the engine. Since the new roads will run almost parallel to the steam railways, there is bound to be competition as to passenger fares and freight rates. This means that travel will be cheaper and that shipping will .cost less for the people of Charlotte. Then, too, the value of real estate along the proposed line has greatly increased. Already much Charlotte property has changed hands at enormous prices. We consider Charlotte a city now, and with its elec- trical development, and boosted by the Greater Charlotte Club, it must become larger and more important every day. Surely, if the projects which have been planned are only carried through, Charlotte will continue to be called the City of Electrical Energy.
