For some years it has been issued by the Junior Class of the Charlotte High School. We have attempted to keep up this custom and hope this book will please our patrons. Although it may be somewhat smaller than previous issues, it must not be for- gotten that it has caused a great deal of work, and we are free to admit that it is presented with a feeling of pride. Last Summer the present heating system was put in our schools. It was certainly a most welcome improvement. By this system, by the use of a large fan the room can be kept at the same temperature with no loss of heat. With this system we have not been kept from school a day in the entire year, while last year, with the old system, it was a fre- quent occurrence. This year has been its experimental one, and has certainly insured its permanency. Last year the practice of issuing bi-monthly Report Cards was adopted. By these cards our parents know what we are doing in school, when we are there and when we get them. 8 DELPHIAN ' 01 It is also a great satisfaction to the pupils to get them, as is shown by the talk before receiving them. A scholar may think he is doing good work, while his report card will show that he is not and thus warn him to do better work. It is the wish of the entire school that they be continued. On the twenty-sixth day of April, a musical and farce entertainment was held at the Opera House under the aus- pices of the Art Committee of the City Schools. The money obtained went toward the erection of a fountain between the High School and Fourth Ward buildings. This move was originated by Supt. Parmelee and will greatly beautify the school grounds. It will also be a great credit to the city. As this book was issued before this entertainment was held we cannot tell the success of the enterprise. Judging from the patronage the Art Committee has received before, we think it safe to predict a fountain upon the school grounds in the near future. For several years Art and Statuary have been steadily increasing in our schools. At the present time several of the halls are provided with busts, statues and pictures, which represent the history and development of America; also the art that is American. In the lower grades, the. pictures easi- est understood are placed, while in the higher grades, the ancient art is placed, as it can be better appreciated. At the present time about $600.00 worth of art, portraits and statuary have been purchased for the school. The following pieces of art, portraits and statuary are in the High School: ART Courtship of Miles Standish.— Turner. Parthenon (two views). Tne Ascension. — Raphael. Milan Cathedral. Breaking Home Ties. — Hovendon. Reading of Homer.— Taafaw a. Aurora. — Guido Rent. Stratford-on-Avon. Morning in the Highlands.— .ffwa Bonheur. Sir Galahad and Yioxs .— Watts, In Danger.— ir zrejer.

Upon entering the High School, there were fifty-seven members, but, for various reasons, only nineteen compose the Class of 1902. Nothing like a class organization was effected until we united in a picnic at Grand Ledge in the Summer of 1900. On the 14th of February, 1901, the Class was permanently organized. The following officers were elected : President — Fred Morey. Vice President — Louise Patterson. Secretary — Bessie Wood. Treasurer — Max Allen. At the next meeting Hazel Robinson was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee. Other meetings were held, at which we decided in what manner to raise the necessary class funds. We also chose our colors, which are royal blue and old gold. Probably the most important, as well as the most pleasant event of our Junior year, will be the banquet given to the Sen- iors in June. We hope that this brief sketch will so impress the public that they will watch with some interest our future career. DELPHIAN ' o I Class of 1902 By Roy McAlpine Long years have passed And generations come and gone, In perfect time To the marching of the mighty throng Has civilization e ' er pressed onward. At times it stopped; But, like the gath ' ring tidal wave, The pathway clear, It rushed again, with front so brave, And added impetus far upward. And as the spray Dashed high above the seething deep. It lifted some. Till they could catch the straw of fame. And climb to immortality. But stronger waves Placed others on an equal plane. Or lifted them. Till they surpassed the former aim. Exalting all humanity. But even with The highest mark of former time. And rolling up, Another comes to pass the line, Our class, the Class of 1902. . DELPHIAN ' 01 ZI Class Prophecy By Marie Merrick The dreary twilight was drawing to a close and the shad- ows of night were lengthening in the room, transforming familiar objects into grotesque goblins. I sat by the dying firelight dreamily musing on the past and probable future of the greatest Juniors, the Class of 1902, when, suddenly on the side of the fireplace, loomed a tall figure clad in a flowing robe of pale gray, and, on his brow in shining characters, I read, 191 2. As I gazed, -speechless, the apparition glided toward the window, beckoning me to follow, which I did with- out the slightest hesitation. We passed through the window and found ourselves in the National Capitol, standing in front of the White House. A light shone from the window of the President ' s private library, so, omitting the formality of knock- ing, we entered through the window and I recognized in the great man, the sole occupant of the room, my former class- mate, Fred Morey, who began his presidential career in the High School. Almost instantly the room faded and we were standing in the Legislative Hall of a far western State just as the Gov- ernor arose to speak, and I saw the face and heard the well- remembered voice of Don Carr. The next room we entered was the dining-room in the Governor ' s mansion. The table was set for two, and I glanced expectantly at the door when it opened to admit the Governor with his wife, whom he playfully addressed as Pat. Another swift transition and we stood in the Laboratory of a large High School, where we found Vern Cooper unrav- eling the mysteries of Heat and Light to the rising gen- eration. Upstairs in the same building we came upon Ruby Vick- ery, busy with her history class. 12 DELPHIAN ' o I Our next visit was to a white, vine-wreathed cottage in the suburbs of New York. At the open window sat Maud Griffin eagerly awaiting the coming of the Joy of her life. Passing on, there loomed up before us the gray, forbidding stone walls of a convent, through which, however, I presently found myself passing with perfect ease, to where a nun knelt alone by the chancel rail ; and when she raised her head we saw the pale, spiritual face of Etta Berger. We continued our travels from here to an imposing church edifice just as the evening service was over. The great doors swung open and the people came out in little groups, talking over the wonderful sermon to which they had just listened, and looking inside we saw, descending from the pulpit, the Reverend Don Collins. The next moment we were standing in a little clearing in the wilderness of Central Africa, where, in front of a small stone mission, sat Hazel Robinson, surrounded by a crowd of little black children, listening open-mouthed to the words of wisdom that fell like priceless pearls from her lips. Again the scene changed and we found ourselves in a brilliantly lighted ballroom. The guests of honor, I learned, were a noted French count and his American wife, who proved to be none other than our friend, Mable Casler, but the acknowledged belle of the evening was the beautiful debutante, Jessie Krebs. In an elegantly appointed gymnasium on Broadway we found Roy McAlpine, about to enter the ring with a famous French lightweight. We hurriedly withdrew from the scene of combat to the deck of a United States war vessel anchored in the Bay of Manila. The white-clad sailors stood deferentially in the back- ground while their Commander impatiently paced the deck. A moment later there was a sound of oars alongside and another man in immaculate white ducks sprang over the rail, DELPHIAN ' o I 13 and was eagerly welcomed by the Admiral. In spite of the effects of a tropical sun I recognized the noted Admiral as Harry Culbertson, and Max Allen in the Governor-General of the Philippines. Leaving the inseparables to talk over old times we returned to New York and entered the dressmaking establish- ment of Stone Wood where we found our two Bessies deep in the mysteries of the latest Parisian costumes. From thence to the theater, which was packed to its utmost capacity, and the prima donna who held the vast multitude spellbound by her wonderful voice was Maud Church. The shifting scenes next brought us to the Art Exhibit, where the name of the famous American painter, Louie Wildt, was on every lip. And presently I saw the great artist himself, evidently much bored and tired of being lionized. Here my shadowy companion left me and I found myself sitting again by my library fire, my own future still shrouded in uncertainty. T H e Laboratory By Cynthia A. Green The Laboratory of the Charlotte High School is located on the first floor and occupies the southwest corner of the building. It has the advantage, therefore, of a southern and western exposure, assuring excellent lighting facilities, a con- sideration of no little importance. The opening of the room for laboratory purposes was unassuming, being attended by no formal ceremonies such, perhaps, as the provision for systematic • scientific training in our school deserved. Neither was there any elaborate memo- rial of the incident prepared, but one may see on a window 14 DELPHIAN ' 01 of the room probably the only record extant connected with its initial year. This consists of an artistic expression, for it is nothing less than an etching bearing the names of the first class in chemistry with the signature of their teacher and the date, 1890. But, although the establishment of the room attracted so little notice, nevertheless the event marked a distinct period in the history of the school and emphasized the wise foresight of the people of our city which is in keeping with the present trend of educational interests. Durmg the summer of 1889, the Laboratory was fitted with a demonstration table, working tables, gas, wash basins, glass cases, chemicals, and chemical apparatus which, in a modest way, furnished an equipment for the accommodation of ten pupils with a course in Chemistry covering twenty weeks. At the same time, it seemed desirable to bring down the few pieces of physical apparatus from their old home in a little room at the southeast corner of the building on the second floor, and to place them, with many additional new ones, in the cases prepared for their reception. But the use- fulness of the newly-equipped room did not stop with its service to Physics and Chemistry. Botany made its demands and so the room was open for general recitation work. Little by little, as the work in the Scientific department has grown, greater requirements have been put upon the Laboratory. Forty weeks are now given to Chemistry and every necessary material is at hand to make the work thor- ough and practical. Next year the subject of Botany will cover forty weeks instead of twenty as now. The work in Physics has always taken a year and the apparatus for this subject is quite complete. The latter fact is not due to numerous large and expensive single pieces, though we have several of them, and they, with the Crowell cabinet purchased three years ago, give the school a superior equipment. Phys- ical principles are demonstrated, and special attention is given DELPHIAN ' o I 15 to doing the noted Harvard College preparatory experiments, with several others not directly connected with this set. There is one high-power compound microscope and thirteen low-power botanical glasses, all of which, under favorable conditions, can be used for Botany and Physiology as well. We prize our Laboratory. It enables us to do good and efficient work. The laboratory method of study is followed here whenever it is possible, but it does not often occur that class recitation work and individual experimental or microscopic work can be conducted at the same time in so small a space as is ours now, without injurious results to both. We suffer the evil effects of being crowded. We have outgrown our bound- aries. To remedy this, it is hoped and confidently expected that more ideal conditions will exist in the coming year where- by the laboratory ' s sphere of usefulness will be materially enlarged. The plan is, in brief, to make an extension of the room by removing the partition between it and the present sixth grade room, thus giving the whole ground floo«: of the south side to the purposes outlined above. A dozen tables and some other inexpensive furnishings put into the added room would permit individual work in every scientific subject and all could be carried on harmoni- ously. By this arrangement, the time and energy of both pupils and teacher would be vastly economized. The patrons of our schools will receive gratitude in full measure for this improvement, for it means a nearer approach to a scientific method for the teacher and a better cultivation of a scien- tific mind in the pupil. The conditions will then be right for close observation, careful reflection on the appearances and phenomena observed, and logical reasoning and conclusions for the same. Questions can be dealt with objectively and things judged on their merits without the aid of ideas formed independently of the things themselves. These results alone in the best manner justify the existence of a Laboratory. i6 DELPHIAN ' o I While the ' oo team met some defeats they did very well, considering the odds that were against them. At the opening of the season prospects were not as bright as they might have been, there being only three or four old players back in school. During previous seasons we played the smaller towns and easily defeated, but last year we were willing to play some of the larger schools. These of course were out of our class, but against these teams we made an excellent showing. The present outlook for the ' oi team is very favorable, as many of the ' oo team are in school, and the prospects for new men are very good. Manager: H. C. Thurnau.

Track Captain _ _ _ _ Max Allen Track Manager _ - - - Fenn Spaulding The first thing necessary was to raise some money. The first money received was a gift of the proceeds of the mili- tary ball given by the young men of the city. With the money thus secured the Gym. was put upon an active basis and has continued so ever since. After a time it became necessary to have more money and this was secured by means of the min- strel show. A number of difficulties have arisen, but they have all been successfully met. So far, the Gymnasium leaves much to be desired, but it is a living proof of the fact that a Gymnasium is not an impossi- bility to the Charlotte High School students. Whether it will be permanent or not remains to be seen, but I can see no reason why the Gymnasium should not continue until some day i8 DELPHIAN ' 01 the High School shall have a Gym. in a building of its own, and equipped as well, if not as extensively, as any Gymnasium. The Gym. has shown itself a decided benefit in more than one way, for besides improving the muscular development of those frequenting it, it furnishes a good moral place for boys to go, who might otherwise be in far worse places. So here ' s hoping that the High School boys will stick to the Gym. and aid with their interest an undertaking which is a credit to the enterprise of the High School. Base Ball For several years the Charlotte High School has been without a Base Ball Team. Early this spring, quite a bit of enthusiasm was manifested. A meeting of the Association was held and an organization perfected with Earl Williams, Manager, and Don F. Collins as Captain. For several weeks candidates have been practicing and the prospects are very favorable for a successful season. W H e n When the Physics class pass Heat, When the Principal allows us to speak, When we learn to pick up our feet, When Packard forgets to cheat. When Carr stops changing his seat, — We ' ll study!
