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

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
