Ethel Buitt, I ' oct. 4 Forty-five rom ' clesf of tfjc Clasps; of 1028 ©tcabc I 111 the (hivs i]f C ' luirlcs flii ' Great tlwvv was jii ' arc and prosperity in the land. And it came to pass in flie second year of his reign, that there gathered together at liis court a strange trihe, forty-nine strong, which had heard of tlie ghiry of this king- dom and come from afar -some from tlie horch ' rs of Vii-ginia as well as from all over North Carolina, s e from the land of Tennessee, and some even from the utmost f)arts of West Vii ' giiiia and Kentucky. Then said the counstdor of the King, Lo, these are mighty nii ' ii. They are like to those that came liefore them as sparrows arc unto grasshoppers; for behold, they will swallow us up. Let iis take counsel together, lest this thing come to pass. Then came the counselors together with great wisdom; and the noise of their counseling A as lieai ' d afar. The trihe whi(di has comi they said, regarch ' th us wilji derision. Let us fall upon tliem and lay them low. And liehold, the word seemeil good. So the Soplis fell upon these ; (■(( af miglil; and the conflict was great — so great that those who were not brought under sub- mission at that time were later v hi])ped into line hy the BKOWN LADY of wide fame. Verily I say unto yon, they lifted not their heads again for many moons. ©ccabe 2 Xow it came to pass wlien tlie session had nearly s]ient ilsidf. that the King had his Prime Minister Knott said to Parliament, Come, no« ' , let us put our heads together and start sinnething that will make our kingdom heard of afar. And they hearkened to this word ; and tlie ears of the people pricked up when the news of DRAMA WP EK was heralded aiiroad. Moreover, Lord Naff sent out a message that brought singers from the north, from the south, from the east, yea, even from the west; foi- he had ]irO(dainied woe unto them who heeded not his call. So they came and lifted up their voices, which I heard with my own ears; and, lo, THE ROSE MAIDEX brought . ' rowds from far an l near t.i hear and behold what was done. Forty-six 3!Btcal)c 3 Now when the lirat n( suiiiliic 1 ' hail ]i:isscil, tlicsi ' iiifii cf mnjlil. though tre- inendouslv i-ciIuclhI in iiuiiihi ' rs ( iiuu twciity-iiiiir ), again iiftcil up their headh. And the King seeing tin ' v were really nn n (if might, ealleil them Soi)h.s and set them over newcomers into his kingdom. Getting busy immediately, they dis- eovered sueh an army as never before or since has entered tlieir borders. So they called ujiiin the lUiOWW L.VDV for assistance; and such a howl went up from the crnshi ' d and overwheliui ' d desjioilers that the old men smiled loud smiles and smote eaeli on the other ' s liack for sheer joy. ©fcabe 4 Now it came to ]iass in that day that there was great unrest in the land; for the subjects in this kingdom were not held in as high repute as were those in some other kingdoms — when positions were sought. So the King said to the Ilou ' ee of Lords, These things must not be! This king- dom is in a section that needs a great kingdom; and my men are quite as good as those in other kingdoms. Come, now, let us do all those things which are neces- sary to make our kingdom STAXD.VRD A-1. And it was so, even as he said; and from that time the kingdom has Iieen recogoized by all nations as STANDARD ,V-1. .Vnd it came to pass that the de- light of the subjects was exceedingly great, an l the noise of their rejoicing was heard over the land; for henceforth they could hold up their heads with all nations. So it came about that men who are sent out as finished subjects shall rate as high as those from any nation. ,Vnd their humiliation was soon forgotten, as though it had never beeu. ©ctalJc 5 Now, while all were yet rejoicing, they looked and Ixdndd, him whom they loved Avas no more; and a cry went u]i fi-om the subjects for a ruler — for they wei ' e as sheej) having no shepherd. But while their eyes were yet wet and their moans wore still reverberating, there appeared before them with a crown upon his head, the wise and loved Lord Burrell ; and they wept no more. Now it came to pass that when the directors of this kingdom besought Lord Burrell to continue his rule, he refused, with great dignity, to rule any more years; and EDWARDS I came lo the throne. Now the subjects did rejoice again; for he, too, was well loved by all, and they knew he would rule wisely. Forty-seven ■ if ip m t 1 . Bccalsc 6 Lift uj) ydur cjirs mid licar. (ili, v pcopli ' , what diil conu ' to pass bcfnrf tlu ' S ' ' changes were brought ahout. There were in that (hiy two bands of men who liad long served the King: one they eaHed Ahithenian. the other was known as Lucalian. And it eanie about that these two bands trie l to find something new nnder the sun to do.  So tliey said among themselves, Come, now, let, there be a contention between us, and see who can speak the longest and loudest; for they shall be proclaimed victors. So it came to pass that SOCIETY DAY was instituted, to be observed each year liencefortli. And it was .so: each band contended one against the other; and I, even I, your scribe, did debate long and loml, as did others of our tribe. .Vnd this thing is done to this day, even as I have said. Moreover, there were other things started in those days which are done until now; for this is a kingdom that doeth all tilings Avell. Woe unto them, saith the scribe, that confess ni)t this fact; for they shall be punished. Lift up your eyes that you may see, and your cars that you nuiy hear — all that conies to pass on HIGH SCHOOL WEEK-EXDS. 7 Xow, at the coming of the next invasion, tiiese mighty men, seventeen all told, wlio had again been promoted, f(dt that it was good to have their kingdom in- creased; and they set about to protect the invadtrs. Thus it came about that wlien the men being frightened, repaired to a hiding place, these old mvn of might stood before them until about the twelfth hour, (h ' fying every apjiroach of the Sophs. Xow after a space of a watch of a night, again was much shouting heard ; and behold the tribe of Sophs did beat upon the door of the hiding place until it was broken down, for they were very wroth. Now, after these things, peace was restored; and the King ]irepared a THANKS- GIVING RECEPTION for all his subjects. ISut before this, the Carolina Playmakers had come to make merry; and aftei-wards, the Wake Forest Glee Club charmed the entire kingdom. Then, to continue this era of good feeling, the men of might fitted up the HOPE COTTAGE CLUB HOUSE, where all couhl sate their appetites and grow fat from good times. For y-eiyht m TTT ©ecabe 8 Now, in that clay there ciiiiie ;il mt an luii ' est in the land; and a j;reat ENDOW- MENT CRUSADE was waf;ed. Tlirse mn, of ml. lil wvvv ih.. Hrst to pk-dg-o help to the king, lt 0 jier eent strong. After a lung ( tlict, the King ' s men were vietoriuus, heeaiise of which a mighty sinnit went up o -er the kingdom. So it came to pas.s that the mighty men ( f vahjr said among themselves, Go to, let us prepare a banquet that we may feast and make merry together, for we no longer take delight with the foo l in the palaee. For, liehold, one day ' s meals are like unto another ' s. And it was so; the banquet was prepared. And the men called Scnidrs hearkencci to their call, as did the King and House of Lords. When the day arrived, their astonishment Avas groat and they cried, Surely-, these are the King ' s best organized men; for their fame has spread throughout the kingdom, and even the Prime Minister has called them jewels. So a ring was )daccil upon the finger of each man ; and it was declared thai henceforth, after this annual feast, a like ring slniuld lie worn by the men called Juniors. So they departed for a season of rest for the first time in the history of this kingdom ; and it was spoken of as SPRING HOLIDAYS. Now it hai)pened after these tilings, when the day of days dawned for the men called Senicjrs, that four i)f our men of might dunneil their caps and gowns and departed from our kingdom. Tntil this day only one has i-i turned. Nevertheless, other men of valoi ' canu ' in tn take tlieii ' places; even more, for they became twenty-five strong and still iiicii af iiiii ht. Bctabc Thus it was, as the niodiis came and went, this gr(iu[i (d ' men came to he kimwji as the King ' s really great men, liccause they had loii( more things than any other nu ' n in the kingdom, and because in all the history of this great kingdom, this group of men was the largest to stand Uy the King unlil the last. And it came to jiass that they did other great things in the last year of their history: they had fixed and paid for the lighted gate at the entrance to the King ' s palace; they put on a big Hallowe ' en Carnival for the enjoyment of the King ' s subjects; they saw to it that nearly one-third of these subjects attended the B.

HiLTOx JoxE.s, Historian. ■ m : ' i Fifty Senior Clasisi J ropfjecp Two decades have elapsed since the class of ' 28 left the portals of old Chowau. From time to time I had noticed journalistic comment on the success of the members of my class, but had made no systematic effort to collect these.

MISS RICHMOND ADDRESSES TEACHERS CONVENTION Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 3. 193S — A notable event of the Annual Teachers ' Meeting in session here was the address last evening of Miss Margaret Richmond of the Chair of Psychology, ITniversity of Chicago.

J« Jt BRILLIANT CONCERT LAST EVENING Charlotte. N. C. Nov. 7. 193S — Vast crowds filled the New City Auditorium to its utmost capacity last evening to hear Miss Mary Hoggard. pianist and composer of note.

Miss Hoggard graciously responded to eucores in her charming manner. Charlotte music lovers owe a debt of gratitude to Misses Janie Vick and Mary Spencer, successful teachers in Myers Park Kindergarten, since it was at their request that Miss Hoggard came to Charlotte.
