DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN TRADE IN CHARLOTTE The Delphian Board of the Class of 1915, iu presenting this J)el- pliian to yon. hope they are living np to all expectations and are publishing a book whieh may favorably stand all comparisons with its predecessors. The growth of the High School has caused the Board to put forth every effort that this year ' s book might keep even with the pace. We, the members of the Class of 1915, hope that our Del- phian may stand as a memorial of our four years ' work and pleas- ure in old Charlotte High, and believe that in years to come, as we look through its pages, many happy hours may be recalled to the minds of all of us.

DELPHIAN, ' FIFTEEN to assimilate all that would tend to upbuild aud increase efficiency. So in the business world — in stores and factories. So in the pro- fessions — doctors, lawyers — ALL must be on the alert to progress, to better themselves for service. And so even in schools. No school can progress aud stand, mark- ing time, in the same circle. There must be a forward movement with concerted action all along the line. And Charlotte schools have felt this impulse. The fine, new building is a monument to the people of the city who put the needs of their children above mer- cenary motives ; to the school board who fu.rthered the movement,- and to all others who labored to bring this beautifvil biiilding to its triumphant fruition. It is indeed an incentive for both pupils and teachers toward the best in all respects — the best in harmony of spirit, the best in united effort, and the best in results accomplished. And, always, the one who does his best has a passport, sealed with a royal signet, to enter successfully some worthy field of en- deavor. C. H. CAREICK. The Delphian Board, in liehalf of the Class of 1915. wishes to ex- press its thanks to the business men, and especially to the Booster Club, whose sanction and support made our Deli hian possible. During the past year the business men agreed to boycott all adver- tising schemes which in their opinion did not liring immediate re- turns. One thing, however, they sanctioned, and that was the Del- phian. Had the business men withdrawn their support, the Del- phian would have been a failure, as the advertisements, to a great extent, pay the expenses of publishing the book. This shows that the Charlotte business men stand with us and with the school. Surely, the least we can do to show our appreciation for their kindness is to do our best to help them, to give them our patronage. J. B. W. During the past year an Alumni Association has been organized, with a large membership. This is indeed a step forward in the pro- motion of school spirit. On April 16, last, the first annual banquet of the new organization was held at the Masonic Temple, and surely nothing could have been a more complete success. Old grads gathered from all parts of the country, from east and west, north and south. Our sincerest wish is that the organization may live for years to come and that graduates of the fixture will take their places in the ranks and help carry on the good work. J. B. W.
