If you praise it, you honor us, and if you criticize it, you honor us-for in both cases we shall know that you have read it. We are here in D. H. S. primarily in pursuit of that elusive, 1ll1lCll-SOllglli-fOl' thing, called Educ-ation. Vile are not professional publishers, and many are the mistakes wc've made, for which we crave your indulgence. All things have a purpose, and the purpose of this book is to give you a true picture and clear idea of high school life. It is not a guide book to the flowery paths of knowledge, it is not a masterpiece of composition, it is not necessarily a message of grave importance to humanity. lt. is ll. H. S. as we have seen it, felt it, lived it. And now it is with inexpressihle joy and rearranging, adding, subtracting, proof- reading, sinothering profanity, and inforniing multitudes of interested friends that the publication will now be out in a few weeks, we mop the perspiration from our brow and present to the waiting public a full measure of the cream of high school lifc as extracted by our pet, patient, irrepressible, unpardonable separator- 1lHE Msssicxuiciz. Special acknowledgnient is made to the c,i011l1ll01'l'lZ1l Design class for the excel- lence of their service. They spaced all the panels, designed and hand colored all the inserts Qthree of these being cut on linoleumj, designed the cover, head piece, cartoons, and cut linoleum blocks of the tail-pieces. The Seniors of this class are Horton Burch, Marvin Ferrell, Clarence Harris, Wziltoii Newsom, Calvin O'ljriant, and Norman Riggsbee. Other members who worked on Tnia lllmssmxorlic until dark many afternoons are Robert Cheatham, Harry Hunter, Thomas Jones, Albert Olljriant, and Garland WCLIN'C1'. NVe also wish to thank Mr. llamsey for the services he rendered the class in making pictures. Also we wish to thank Miss llcrr and all others who helped to make this llliassuxusk a success. lPage Fourj 924 ,lg I: U3'4fi nE5gEi'1GER L'Qg5 -- 55' A 4 A . L.-. . ' Dedicated to: MRS. AI.1c'11: P.

THE Durham aa Educational Center W as ,,-z N this day of advancement and learning every person has from infancy the right to an education, not like the meager one of old, but of the broader type peculiar to modern times. Whether the life of the world tomorrow is to be a success or a failure depends entirely upon the youths of today, the men and leaders of tomorrow. No Durham lad or lassie can justly say that educational advantages are wanting in our own city. Our educational system, widely known, is of the threefold type-mental, physical and spiritual. Every institution in our community, each endowed with a strong and eflicient faculty, engaged in this important work for the youth of today, develops not the mental side alone, but also the physical and spiritual. These train in whatever channel of life one may wish to pursue. Most of the various schools are mindful of the necessity of physical training: some are equipped with modern, up-to-date gymnasiums where physical training and devel- opment necessary for health are taught and encouraged. Competent athletic directors are employed to supervise and instruct in this work. The spiritual part of education is carefully guarded. Regular devotional chapel exer- cises, in which the whole student body participates, are held in every school. The young folk of the city and suburbs are generally interested and active in the .work and organizations of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.. Ministers of the city churches visit the schools, and by association do all within their power to befriend the students and faculty. Christian workers from other cities and sections appear before the stu- dents and deliver helpful and instructive messages. Those higher institutions of learning in our midst are.: the Durham High School: the West Durham High Schoolg the East Durham High Schoolg the Durham Business Schoolg the Southern Conservatory of Musicg and that still -higher institution of learning, Trinity College. We, the future citizens of Durham, are truly blessed to be surrounded by all these places in which to prepare ourselves for future leadership and our places in life. The people of Durham have not, however, forgotten, the colored youths in their great educational work. The State Normal for colored, one of the largest and best-equipped of its kind in the South, is located in our city. Along with this college are elementary schools for the same, supervised by our own superintendent, Mr. F. M. Martin of the city school system. These schools are indeed creditable ones. With these widespread advantages and iniluences forecasting the development of an ideal type of manhood and womanhood, Durham, although less than a century old, may accomplish untold wonders in the years to come. 1Paye Sitj HQVA i MESSENGER ii e n FRANK M. MART.lN, SUPT. Mr. F. M. Martin, Superintendent of the city schools, is a native of Virginia. He is a graduate of Washington and Lee University und has had subsequent work at the University of Texas, University of Tenn- essee, and the University of Chicago. He served for fifteen years in Texas as chief assistant in the State Department of Education and later became superintendent of the El Paso city schools. For four years, Mr. Martin was the head of the Farmville, Va., schools. He came to us from Petersburg, Va., where for the past nine years he was superintendent of the public schools. In the short time Mr. Martin has been here, he has fitted so naturally into the school and community life that he seems always to have been a part of it. His wide experience with and sympathy for childhood, his keen insight into men and affairs, his moral courage, and winning personality, have made him a power in school, church and civic centers. To the students of D. H. S. he has been an inspiring and sympa- thetic friend, and Il wise counselor. The Class of '24 wishes to ex- press its appreciation of his genuine interest in the immediate and future welfare of each member and to bespeak for him the success he so richly deserves. llfage Sevenl n TH is WA-iii MESSEEGER I Page E iyhtj i924 -1 THE gg MESSENGER Aljfggg T he Durham City Sclzoolr URHAM has one of the best, and, in proportion to its size, largest, school systems in the United States. Durham not only has a wonderful record of past achieve- ments, but she is progressing each year as fast, and faster, than the rest of the country. Durham realizes that her schools are her most important civic activity. and is providing for them accordingly. Knowing that good equipment is essential to education, the city schools own eight buildings, containing 121 rooms. and worth S1,l33,805.84. 60,000 textbooks are rented to the students, and 3,500 volumes are kept in the school libraries for study. The physical welfare of the students is provided for by twenty-nine acres of playgrounds, and by physical directors who supervise them and coach school teams. This plant is growing with the city, 25204,390 Worth of bonds being issued in 1923 and 3318,000 in 1924. The Durham schools are governed by a board of six members elected by the City Council: and administered by a superintendent, a business manager, two supervisors, an attendance officer, and eight principals. The men are of the highest grade available, as the city spends 3241,000 each year in salaries for its 1-66 school teachers and officers. The buildings are well cared for, 340,600 being used for their maintenance and operation. The children of Durham are taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by this system, as the census shows that 3,749 of the 4.185 white children between six and twenty-one are in school. Some of these have graduated, and the rest are over fourteen, as the compulsory education law applies to all under that age. The school term is 183 days, from September to May, with holidays distributed throughout the year in order to relieve the monotony. There is an average daily attendance of 2,83i5, mak- ing 478,308 days attended during the year. If one child were to do this he would have to attend school 180 days a year for over 4,000 years. Last year 5,900 days were lost by absence, which would be more than 300 school years for one child. This year the attendance has been much better, averaging around 952, on account of the drive for better attendance, and the desire which has been aroused among the students them- selves to win the Attendance Banner. Regular attendance is extremely important, since although work slips are issued requiring students to make up the work missed, the benefits of the class discussion period can be gained in no other way. The Durham City School system is the most important activity of the City of Dur- ham. It spends more money, and employs more people than any other branch of the city government. It touches almost every home in Durham directly, and it is the in- stitution of most importance to the city's youth and their parents. More taxes are levied for schools than for anything else. This money has been wisely expended as is shown by the benefits the students have received from their training, and by the schools themselves. fPage Ninel W , ii ii 1' -rl-it ' 55 Grjmfb NESSEPIGER LA-1.55 lllage Te1 1 924 '-' 556, M555-Eiiscn 53 1935 l I 1 Q Qlnfsi 0 lPage1l'1ucl j 2 1-H: r-IESSEHGER IPaye Thirteenl ll - h .- 9 924 Q THE as W4 A MESSENGER m X12 5 0 -- A 3,4 A E- 3 , 5 Q 3 4 1 . .

JAM. 1 i ll-'age Sixty-eighll l924 I: THE 0 ill MESSENGER k A Class Hzktory OMEBODY once said, History is the biography of great men. If that is true, this is not a history, because this is the story of the four years devel- ment of a handful of typical young Americans, who, being drawn from every possible variety of situation, were thrown together in quest of that, which for want of something better, is termed knowledge. To begin with they had only one thing in common-aim. With varying speeds, abilities, desires, plans, and modifications they traveled their common road. There were quarrels, rival- ries, and hates among the jostling throng. Groups formed and separated them- selves from the rest. The weak fell behind, some left the road for other roads that led to the same place, others came in from other paths to take their places. But as mile post after mile post was passed, the strife and tuniult became less and less, the gaps grew fewer and smaller, and finally all marched breast with breast. Now, with hands joined, they stand united at the goal, but they have found that they have not reached the goal at all, for in truth, it is only the starting point. They know that the way is rough and the path only partly marked. The hands must unclasp, each man must run his own race. But because their aim will still be the same as before, and because they this once stood with hands clasped, they will scatter through different paths, still united. The intangible, but indestructible spirit called friendship has knit its fabric through and through, and around and around. The faabric will stretch to the ends of the earth and not break, it will wear until the close of the three score and ten and not rot, it will endure all weather and all climates and lose neither the purity of its whiteness nor the lustre of its sheen. The set of mere incidents this group has turned into history do not count so much after all, save as they worked for the final realization of true values. As a matter of fact the Class of 1924 is just an ordinary typical class. In some details it has surpassed its immediate predecessors, in others it has been surpassed. In some ways, it merely marked time, in others, it progressed. We have been peculiarly fortunate in our selection of presidents. Scanlon, Chandler, and Bishop, presidents in our Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years respectively, discharged the duties of the office in a manner which refiected credit upon themselves and upon the class. In recognition of Bishop's versatility, the Class elected him president for its Senior year-thereby bestowing on him the highest honor of which an undergraduate can be the recipient. The Class has been well represented in the literary life of the campus. Many of its members have won distinction by their literary work. Debating and oratory have not been neglected by such of our classmates as Weatherspooii, Holton, Cotton, Burch, and Council. Nineteen-twenty-four members have also occupied leading places in social activities. It is in athletic prowess that the class surpassed all its predecessors. In inter- class events, we have won several championships. I11 varsity contests, members lPage Sixty-ninel E5 MESSENGER F xvfggg ff am i of the Class have played a most brilliant role. Hackney and Bennett, played varsity basketball, while Lyon, Gallagher, Pickett, Hackney, and Bishop repre- sented us on the football tream. With the pleasant stream of autumnal diversions, the interest of football, the socials, the trips to Chapel Hill, and finally the Christmas holidays we fell into rather an easy gait. But after Christmas, there was in the air the promising of a quickening, a reckoning imminent. Those who were versed in the signs of the time were seen to drag forth neglected text-books, dust-covered, to search for for- gotten spots. Then suddenly, about the middle of January, the prophecy arrived at its fulfillment. It came in the form of exams-a nerve-racking cataclysm. Wise with the wisdom of painful experience, the old heads went about it coolly. They knew that to get excited was a probable step toward disaster, that midnight oil was inferior to midnight sleep as a passer of exams. But even at that, it was an unrestful time of tension, of anxiety-a ten days' had dream. How about the less experienced? For them it was a real nightmare. Some, warned in time, fol- lowed the advice of the veterans and fared as well. Others, mindful of nothing, continued their heedless way. They found the fast pace killing, soon began to stagger and falter in distress. A few by natural strength managed to labor along. Many fell by the wayside, borne down by 'fC's and F's. lt was truly an awful time. Much more of it and we felt that life would really not be worth the weary struggle. But it has been said that all things have an end, at length even this period of horror expired. The unusual sprint was over. The runners dropped back into the old place. Notebooks were lost, text-books began to accumulate the accustomed dignity of dust. In short, life was resumed at the same old stand. Final exams are over, and the end of the last lap is in sight. Another year of work Hlld play, of growth and development, is past. But it means more than that to some of us. It means the culmination of four years of life, in many respects the best four years. We entered raw material, we are leaving older, with the new- ness of it still with us. Never again, no matter what we encounter, will a similar length of time mean so much to us. VVe are too close to it yet to appreciate it fully. But even now as we look back, each is conscious somehow of a feeling of accomplishment. We have passed our work. We have done something in athletics. We have taken part in varied activities. Best of all, we have rubbed shoulders with our fellow-men, all sorts of men, and we have been broadened by the rubbing. There is a touch of sadness in the picture, too, as we prepare to leave what has grown to be so dear to us. Then, we feel rather lost. Heretofore there has always been something to fight for, to work for. We stand upon the pinnacle that we have longed for four years to reach, and it is for the moment disappointing. The pleasures of anticipation are gone. And the joys of realization. are flat. But it is only for a moment. As we turn a little sadly from gazing down the slope in the twilight, dawn breaks Elllfl the view opens out to the front. Instead of at the pin- acle, we stand upon the merest foothill. The Summit towers above, still to be won. The wo1'ld lies before us. The Finish is but the Beginning, truly, we are at the CUlI11ll9llf'6I1lC'1lt. ll'aye Severntyj ii U r4E5gET1GER LQ!!! - - 1,-. gt A 4 A To Our Alma Mater EVE crossed the harbor of D. H. S.

To the pilot- and mates who've steered the ship, To the open sea from the shore, We owe the compass of ideals we take To steer us straight forevermore. And when we leave the harbor bar To try an unknown sea, We trust each bark will hold its course For we have come from thee.

T025 Clan Prophecy H E will open our meeting by singing number 222, 'How Firm a Foundation,' dear to the hearts of every one of us who has graduated from D. H. S., began Miss Zoa Lee Haywood, noted politician and president of the Society for the Betterment of the Durham High School, whose members constituted the alumna of that school. When the singing was over, the president arose and said, Fellow members, this after- noon lt gives me great pleasure to bring to yo-u some noted folk, all members of that great class, the Class of '24, who have won fame for themselves and their school. Many of the members of that now famous class are not able to be with us, but I shall ask the Secretary of the Class of '24, to report on the accomplishments of some of its members who are able to be with us. We are quite fortunate in having Madame Carrington, a member of that class, with us today. Madame Carrington is a member of the Metropol- itan Grand Olpera Company and is renowned for her part in Carmen. Madame Carrington in her sweet voice sang Hungarian Rhapsody in C minor by Gounod. This was followed by that old American ballad which made its appear- ance in 1924, and was so popular with that class. Yes, We Have No Bananas, As she sang her audience was seized with a host of memories which centered around the old class, and as the singer sat down amidst much applause, there was a babble of voices, asking about the members of the class Whatever became of Fadean Pleasants? Where is Sol Mason now? Order, shouted the president. The next person to speak to you today is Miss Mar- garet Lyon, matron of the Old Ladies Home. Miss Lyon gave a short talk on her work, incidentally telling of two of the members of the Class of '24 who were inmates of her institution, Misses Lois Goss and Eunice Fearington. Miss Elizabeth Craven, the celebrated writer of love stories, surpassing even those of Laura J. Libby, spoke in her charming manner about a few of her books. It was quite interesting to the audience to learn that many of her most romantic plots were real incidents in the life of the writer. Senator Edwin Austin. Republican nominee for the presidency, spoke on some of his party's issues. He promised his audience wonderful results of his administration if they would but vote for him. The only other member of the class to appear before the society was Mr. Horton Burch, a detective of national fame, who through his integrity, cunning and quick thinking had apprehended many criminals, and had solved many sensational murders, which had baffled all of the police, but which Mr. Burch had easily and successfully cleared. Mr. Burch gave an awe-inspiring talk on some incidents which he had had to face in solving his cases. His weird stories, which he told in his usual gripping manner, had a curious effect upon his audience. Even the secretary, Miss Graham was quiet. President Haywood arose to the occasion and requested a report from Miss Rebecca Graham, secretary of the Class of '24, on some of its members who had won prominence in their work. Stanley Carpenter was doing wonderful work as an evangelist, and with his chorister, Sol Mason had won the reputation which Billy Sunday had held. Reverend Carpenter was ably assisted by Misses Nellie Scoggins and Mary Shipp, leaders of the Ladies Aid Society who were carrying on such uplifting work in this field. On the previous Sun- day Reverend Carpenter had delivered a most powerful sermon condemning Miss Epie Plyler. Miss Plyler, who had just returned from the heart of the African jungle, on a research trip, had reported on her trip in a lecture on the Theory of Relativity. Miss Plyler was condemned as a socialist and an atheist. Fadean Pleasants had married a civil engineer and had sailed with him to South America. Here she was engaged as a missionary to the heathen, and by means of her charming personality had won many converts. Reverend Everett Weatherspoon with IPagQ Seventy-two 1 ' ll ll V , n e 55 MESSENGER A 5-Q5 his young bride, nee Miss Clara Council, sailed on the same boat with Miss Pleasants. This happy couple were sailing for Borneo, where they will invest their lives in the interest of the heathen. Since both are quite argumentative and most convincing, We predict that they will soon christianize this island and be moved to a new field. Miss Bettie Solomon was operating a Beauty Salon in New York. She had won great fame as a specialist. Miss Solomon had kept her School girl complexion, and now through her efforts, others were acquiring the skin you love to touch. Miss Solomon's shop is the agency of the products of Prof. Lewis Walker, a noted chemist. Professor Walker has created some valuable beauty aids. Miss Helen Freeland is advertising agent for the Walker products, and she recommends them very highly. Her beautiful tresses testify to their quality. Mercer -Guthrie by his excellent character portrayal and his wonderful acting was proclaimed the greatest actor on the American stage. Ofther members of Mr. Guthrie's cast were Douglas Chandler, Ruth Bright, and John Barrymore. Mr. Joseph Spencer was engaged in writing an essay on Milton. He had worked seven years on this and his only consolation was Gray's Elegy, which took fourteen. R. B. Suitt had won fame for his artistic ability. Mr. Suitt had just been awarded a contract to paint the Palmolive Soap Girl for magazine advertisements. He chose for his model, Miss Nell Holloway, dancer with the Ziegfield Follies. Mr. Suitt was awarded the gold medal for his Arrow Collar advertisement in last week's issue of the Hi-Rocket. Mr. William Michie posed for this picture. Alford Holton was editor of the Morning Herald. His editorial on What Another New Hotel Will Mean to Durham, had placed him high in the esteem of his fellow- citizens. Others on the staff of this paper were Adelle Cates and Gertrude Knott, typists, and Robt. Selby as business manager. These capable members received their training on the Hi-Rocket Staff, and as they were trained in the way they should go, we are sure they will not depart from it. Herbert Jourdan, a popular wienie shop proprietor, was sued last week by a rival con- cern for using a poetic advertisement without the permission of the owner. This may be of interest to the members of that illustrious Class of '24, as each one knows it by heart since it ran in the Hi-Rocket for three years. Of course all the membe1's remember Loaf of bread, Pound of meat, etc. A survey of the list of occupants in the professional building revealed the fact that the Class- of '24 was well represented in all professions. One shingle proclaimed to the world that Charlie Bennett, LL.D., was ready to serve his fellow-man. Mr. Bennett was one of the leading lawyers of North Carolina. His powerful convincing speeches have won fame for him, and he is noted for his squareness and justice. Another shingle testified that Albert Cotton, M.D., was soli-citing practice. Dr. Cotton specializes in heart troubles. Dr. Donald Lumpkin had won recognition as a chiropractor and Dr. Jesse Pate was indeed kept busy in his practice as an op-tomerist. His shingle boasted, See me, see better. Rufus Hackney was the leading dentist of the town, There's a reason. So great was their devotion for each other th-at Annie L. Reaves refused to travel the royal road of matrimony with Bruce Brooks, to open a tea room on D.H.S. Campus with her beloved Nellie Christian. Both were made many offers in matrimony, but they seemed to prefer Cheshire cats and parrots to men. Bruce in a lit of desperation resorted to drink, and now he has plunged heedlessly into the wild life of that wicked metropolis, Bilboa, in hopes that he may forget his great love. Many of the members of the class who were quite daring, risked matrimony. Mildred Hinton was one of the first to take the fatal step. She is now living in her beloved Oxford where she is president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals. In this role, she is one of the leading factors of her community, and has done much for the betterment of mankind. Cumi Epps is also a Mrs., but marriege has not proven a road to happiness for her, as she has already instituted divorce proceedings. The case is thought to be quite interesting, not only because it is on the grounds of cruelty, but for the first time Lawyer Georgia Couch will appear in Durham, as counsel for the defense. Since Alfred Land has contributed all of his stories teach perfect in literary excellencyl the True Story is now the height of perfection in standard literature and ranks above Harpers and the Atlantic Monthly. Through the generosity of John Lyon, local pawn- .p4.'5gaQmrnvm -H -i u n 55 mE5gE?1GER L :A A 1 briloker, this instructive magazine has been added to the list of magazines in the D. H. S. 1 rary. Scribner Rt Company had just published a collection of love notes and lyrics entitled Reminiscences of My School Days. This work of inspiration was written by John Gil- more Parks iu collaboration with Mrs. Parks. These notes were written in the year '24, but they have been preserved and are in an excellent state, quite as effective as the day they were written. Miss Mary Scanlon testified that she had reduced forty p-ounds in one week by the re- ducing records of Dr. Bishop. Dr. Bishop has Won national fame for his wonder records which are guaranteed to reduce the purchaser or his money refunded after a Hve-day tryout. Mary Scanlon paid high tribute to Dr. Bishop, and gives him the credit for th-e fact that she is now a perfect 3'6. Harold Hayes is veribly a chip off the old block and now controls the Pomme de Terre factory in Hayti. Due to his competition, all other factories have consolidated and Harold now sells potato chips exclusively. Beryl Jones now fills the place in the hearts of the people that Dorothy Dix once held. Her writings are now the topic of conversation at every breakfast table, and by her sage-like counsel and advice plays a great part in American life. This finishes my report, said Miss Graham as she sat down. Is there anything else that may be added to this report? inquired the President. Madame President, said a member of the audience, modesty forbade Miss Graham to state that she has won national fame for swimming the English Channel, the first person who has- ever succeeded. And furthermore, it is stated that she carried on a fluent con- versation with her body guard in a life boat during the whole trip. Oh, I didn't either! My word! murmured the modest Miss Graham amidst a loud applause. If there is no further business to come before this society, we will now present to you a rare treat. Through the kindness of Mr. S. E. Mercer, proprietor of the Orpheum, we have with us today Misses Nora Holmes, Agnes Wilson, and Mary Bland, who will now entertain us with a ballet dance. These young ladies charmed their audi- ence with their charming dance. This was followed by an interpretive dance of The Jimpson Weed by Misses May Alice Smith and Gladys Riggsbiee, of the same vaudeville company. A rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Mercer by the members of the Club for his thoughtful and entertaining offer. Mrs. Timothy Ticklepitcher, formerly Miss Helen Knapton, made a resolution that each of these noted members of the Class of '24 be invited to address the students of the high school during the chapel hour. The resolution passed and was sent to the chapel pro- gram committee. And the meeting adjourned. Signed: BERYI. Joxizs.

The great dirigihle, The Freshman. pulled at its ropes back of the hangar. the Durham High School crowds had gathered to , 1 .see the start of the most promising crew that ever was selected for training on an airs up. On the deck the crew raced madly about in a raw endeavor to be ready when thc whistle blew. Pilot McGranahan, assisted by her mate, Foushee, and Midshipmen Kirk- land and Crabtree, made a fruitless attempt to bring order out of chaos. The signal was giveng the last rope untied, and amid the shouts and farewells of the assembled multitude the good dirigible, on the first of September in the year nineteen hundred and twenty, rose steadily upwards in the first lap of the journey over the land of D. H. S. That first year was disturbed by few trials save when some few deserted at the time of monthly reports. The only spectre in the blue was a fleet of workslips which vanished after the second charge by laughing gas. The sailing had been so fine that when the pilot received a command to go back to the hangar, where the ship was to have a few repairs made, the crew reluctantly obeyed. After three months of preparation under a new pilot. Satterfield. the dirigible arose in its second journey towards the clouds of graduation. The speed of the ship was slowed down several times td allow the crew to witness a number of battles in which they often took part. Lucille Mulholland, the Hrst Sophomore to win a place i11 the debating team. fought her way to the Chapel Hill lists for the State cup, and Henry Satterfield won his place in the sun by his athletic record. An honor roll exceeding in length and in academic accomplishments that of any other class was added to the class log book. The third lap of the journey was made in the world renowned Junior dirigible famed for its magnitude and potentialities. The sailing was clear and on December 17 they landed in a country that seemed a veritable garden of bells, music, happiness and fiowers, the crew fairly gasped at the beauty of the scene. Then the sunny country passed and a dark cloud hovered and a gale broke. The ship was tossed about by the terrific wind and a great hole was rent in the canvas. In the confusion and terror of darkness some were lost. Slowly the sky cleared and they sailed away from the land of mid-term exams, feeling like conquerors because they had stuck to the ship. Thus ended the third lap and, taking inventory the faces of the faithful who had Stood staunch and firm, were entered in the book that shall forever bear the record of this remarkable journey. The crowning finish is yet to come and all eyes are expectantly looking forward to the time when they can gain greater laurels for service and achievement.

We have already reached the first landing by hard, yet successful climbing: and are now nearing the top of the second iiight. As we looked up these high winding stairways in September, 1922, they seemed almost unending: but the way was made much easier by the erection of a beautiful new high school building in which the remaining flights must be climbed. We stopped long enough on the second step to organize the class, and chose as our colors pink and white. On the next few steps we met Athletics, Literary Societies, and the usual freshman activities. Probably the most enjoyable step was that of the Freshmen Social, and finally the landing-Final Exams-was reached, from which the beautiful view of Va- cation was seen and welcomed. Thus, after climbing unceasingly through the first year, the second was begun with renewed vigor. We paused on one step for debates: on another we found champion- ship basketball games. Though we stumbled and fell there, still we climbed with re- stored energy and enthusiasm. Reaching the step of Mid-Term Exams, most of us were able to continue, but some missed the step and had to begin over again in that low section. Again We stopped for the Social, but that did not interfere with our work, and at last Final Exams appeared. Now that the second landing has been reached, we retrace our steps and find many helpful problems that have been solved, not only in Mathematics but in History, English, Latin and French as well. These will remain with us all through life. Our eyes are now fixed on the Junior flight that looms up before us, and though the future may look formidable, still the experience of the past two years will guide us to that lofty pinnacle from which fioats the most coveted of all possessions-the Diploma HELEN EUBANKS, Historian.

History Clays of '27 N 5 N the bright September sunshine an army of two hundred and fifty boys and girls came wandering from walks and paths of all parts of Durham to assemble in the gray and remote old building where many have previously spent four happy years. impatiently we waited and wandered outside the building, but 'as the bell rang, we, the class of '27, went in with a hilarious call and began our career as students in dear old D. H. S. After a month or more of attending on alternate days we were glad to hear the much longed-for news-D. H. S. was to move into her newibuilding. The class of '27 who would be the first to go through it, for all five years, came to the new building resolving to leave a clean record behind her and build there not one ignoble prejudice. So with this resolution we youngsters of '27 went through the year as Junior Fresh- men. The officers elected at this time were Clara Webster, presidentg Carlotta Satter- field, vice-presidentg Isabel Wannamaker, secretary, and Guy Mitchell, treasurer. Upon the election of oflicers we settled down to hard. though enjoyable and beneficial work. We began another year of f'readin', writin', and 'rithmetic, while waiting for the ap- proaching vacation. The lessons were taught in much the same way, though our equip- ment and building were much more efficient and beautiful. The enjoyable vacation of '23 passed all too quickly and again the well known hall and rooms of D. H. S. loomed before us. At the beginning of our second year we settled down to more progressed and complicated work and by hard studying combined with supervision we upheld the high standards of D. H. S. until the short Christmas holidays. After the results of those dreaded mid-term examinations had been turned in pro- motion days came. It brought smiles to some and tears to others. Those promoted strived hard to keep the grade's standard. Those demoted strived to be once more pro- moted or to lead the lower class. After the promotions and demotions we settled back to hard work still keeping up with the school activities. Ours, the class of '27, after her arrival in the new school began to make friends and to participate in the various activities of the school. The Blackwell Literary Society holds many representatives among the boys while our class is represented in the Cornelia Spencer Society by the girls. Our class teams have betrayed their thought greenies by the successful ways in which they have taken part in the athletic enterprises of the school. They have contributed greatly to the athletic prowess of D. H. S. Now, we the class of '27 are striving onward to maintain the school standards. We have finished two links of the five and are clambering toward the goal set by the classes of yesterday. May we sh-ow hearty appreciation of our privileges and prove to the other classes our renowned courage and ability. lPaye Ninety-twoj Nvwussxag-ang ssvqg i' 0 924 H THE L .. -,.....-H Y-----5--, -wwx X 'x v V 4 ,,, . 1 1 f T5l QQ?WziLf141 f 2 L T39 5 v ' l I-'aye Ninety-Lhreej as It ii M1 ME5gET1GER 513.4 A The Hzktory of the Sub-Freshmen Seventh Grade JU eb! N September 5, 1923, a group of eager girls and boys from the grammar schools entered this immense High School. This group composed what is now the illustrious Sub-Freshman Class. We were like a great ship without a rudder on a big sea, not knowing where to go, what to do, nor when to do it. We had to be directed by the Seniors through the winding halls and into the chapel. When Mr. Phillips called our names we marched off to our respective rooms, and tried to get acquainted with each other. We could not help being frightened a bit at first, but in a week or two we became used to new rules, new friends and classmates, and new teachers. After a while we became familiar with the numer- ous rooms and up front and down back stairsa' regulations. Later in September the girls we1'e engaged i11 domestic science, while the boys persistently strove to become noted mechanics and good carpenters. ln October of the same year we organized our class into three active groups- namely: the Junior Red Cross, which included both boys and girls, the Girls' Council and a similar group for the boys. It was in these council meetings that our problems were threshed out and plans for the betterment of our school were made. After the excitement from the mid-term tests had subsided the rumor was spread that Mr. Upchurch with his Intelligence Tests was coming to the school. This rumor, however, proved false, for they were only subject tests, and although we thought we had had enough examinations, we were glad to show off the knowl- edge we had acquired du1'ing the four long months before the Christmas holidays. These tests were quite easy, and when the results were published, it became known that almost every class had come up to the standard, if not over it. When, in May, the subject tests were again given us, we strove to improve just as much as good hard work would enable us to. Our purpose for the year has been to rank high when at last we receive our yearly grades, and when school opens next September to go to the g1'ade to which we are assigned and work to hold up that grade just as we have worked to hold up this one. llfuye Ninetyflourj ll THE l gn-md 1 Ai fs-mil ,gwgn ls. 3 'fr' LK, '-'45 'Jw ffz , 'gifs 'a-Q! iiisf 'II is Ni! 59' -3-. : agc Ninety-yivel 55 Q MESSENGER .

Sweet pea Date of organization: 1921 HE Cooperative Class has twenty-four members this year, of whom four MJ are Seniors, eight CSD Juniors, nine f9j Sophomores, two C2D Fresh- men, and one flj post graduate. Nearly half of the class is new material si11ce seven graduated last year and several of last year's members took full-time jobs this year. One of the most important things do11e by the class during the year 1923-1924 was the selection of a class pin. This pin, designed by a graduate of the class, is developed in the class colors, gold and black. The Seniors and graduates wear guards to which is attached the year of graduation. No boy is allowed to wear a pin u11ti1 he has been a member of the class for a year and has proved that he is worthy of wearing the class emblem. Another event of much importance in the history of the Cooperative Class during this year was the formation of an active alumni association. The graduates of '21, '22, and '23 held a banquet on February 23, 1924, at the Martha Vilashington Tea Room and organized a Cooperative Class Alumni Association. All graduates of the Cooperative Class are eligible to membership in this organization and former members who have shown a fine class spirit, but have been unable to graduate, may bc made Associate members. This association aims to play the part of Big Brother to the Cooperative Class members now in school. They are presenting some reference books to the class this year and hope to do something more next year. lPage Ninety-sirj 9 r, 1924 Q 'FHE u va Eiiylfki Q MFE-SSEENGER Q ye Nirzetyuseuenj I ' ll ll , Il 1924 ig ME5gETlGER A LQQQ T he Debaizhg T mms HE Durham High School is still on the map in debating. In fact she has been the1'e ever since 1913 when the North Carolina Debating Union was established. That very year Dll1'll31117S team went to the finals at Chapel Hillg and since then her teams have thrice brought honic the coveted Aycoek Memorial Cup: first in 1919, then in 1921, and finally in 1922 as a permanent possession. Both of the 1923 teams went to the semihnals at Chapel Hill, and the 19211 team has three veteran debaters on it--Lucille Mulholland, Everett AVQ21tl1CI'- spoon, and Douglas Chandler. 1 1 The preliminary to choose the representatives of the Blackwell Society in the lnter-society Debate withithc Cornelia Spencer Society was held January 11. Albert Cotton and Horton Burch appeared on the affirmative while Everett VVeath- erspoon and Alford Holton upheld the negative of the query, Resolved: That the i11ter-allied war debts should be canceled.'7 The judges declared that it was the best intersociety preliminary ever held in D. H. S. and picked Everett Weather'- spoon and Alford Holton for the team. The Cornelia Spencer Society held its preliminary on January 15, with all of the speakers, who were Roma Sawyer, Lucille Mulholland, Eliza Brannoek, and Clara Council, trying out on the negative. After a close contest the judges picked Lucille Mulholland and Clara Council for the team. The lntersociety Debate was held February 14, with the Blackwell Society on the aflirmative, and the Cornelia Spencer Society on the negative. The negative won by a two to one decision, and Everett AVCt1ll1Gl'S1J001l and Lucille Mulholland were chosen for the final Triangular Team. An Open Preliminary ,was held on February 18 at which Alford Holton, Roma Sawyer, and Albert Cotton appeared on the affirmative, opposing Douglas Chandler and Clara Council. The judges chose Alford Holton and Douglas Chandler for the team, and Albert Cotton kllld Clara Council, as alternates. The teams as finally arranged by the coaches were: Affirniative, Alford Holton and Douglas Chandler, Negative, Lucille Mulholland and Everett VVeatherspoon. The aflirinative team debated the Raleigh High School in Charlotte on March 25, and the negative met the Charlotte High School in Raleigh on the same date.

Ever since the first little campaign in 1920 for a name and for subscriptions, the HI-ROCKET has been making loud explosions, brighter flares, and has been climbing higher and higher into the sky each year. The first year the staff l1ad eight members that published a four-page paper, today there are forty members and the pages have increased to six. John Parks, '24, is the present editor-in-chief and Robert Selby is business manager. The paper is complete in twenty issues and it is financed by subscriptions and local advertise- ments. The staff as a whole has two meetings a week for planning and compiling issues. The Literary department prepares for publication and corrects the proofs, the business department solicits the subscriptions, receives advertisements and puts into circulation, the art department outlines the arrangement of advertisements and cuts. All the members are assigned definite work. The staff has a faculty advisory committee. Miss Marguerite M. Herr, chairman, and Mr. C. S. Green are advisers for the literary department, Miss Ethel Solloway and Mr. S. S. McKee for the business, and Miss Mary Edna Flegal for the art department. The work of the staff is intended primarily to give students an opportunity to learn to write for publication and to find expression for latent executive ability. It develops confidence in native ability, initiative in effort and it awakens a sense of responsibility so necessary in worthy citizens. The contact with the outside world in interviews necessary for gathering news and carrying on the business of the paper links the school and life. The HI-ROCKET is even more efficient than the classroom in training the students in assuming and carrying responsibility. It has been commented on favorably for its work outside school and in, and when we count the assets of Durham High School for the student the HI-ROCKET as an agency in character building must not be forgotten. lI age One Hundred Tlzreej ii I i rv-cz 0 5.3 sy f MESSENGER A-Q5 lPf1y1' On1fU1mlIre11Fo 1 V8 S ' Mo'sN.vfaw 'b I - ., 2 nf .

The soeiety programs, where the boys are trained, usually eonsists of a debate on some lively up-to-date query, a leeture, two deelamations, a humorist, and three or four impromptu two-minute talks. ,Xt eaeh of these meetings the speeehes are judged by the members themselves, and points awarded for the ten dollar gold medal whieh is given to the member who does the best work, i.e., aeeumulates the highest number of points during the year. The Exeeutive Uonnnittee also plans Open Forum Debates, Impromptu Meetings, and Soeials, and other novelties whieh will give the members valuable training. The society year is divided into three terms in order to give as many boys as possible training in filling the oftiees in a live organization.

Beginning with a mere handful, the membership has in creased to the present enrollment of seventy-tive. Weekly programs consisting of debates, dramatiza- tions, readings, impromptu talks, music, etc., have been given, all of which have been of great benetit to those taking part in the work. The society is proud of its debating record for the year. On February fourteenth the annual inter- society debate between the Blackwell Literary Society and the Cornelia Spencer Literary Society was held in the auditorium of the high school. The query for the debate was: Resolved, That the inter-allied war debts should be cancelled. The girls defended the negative side of the question and were represented by Lucille Mulholland and Clara Council, while the Blackwell Literary Society was represented by Everett lVeatherspoon and Alford Holton. The judges for the debate decided in favor of the girls' society. This makes the fourth annual inter-society debate between the societies three of which have been won by the girls. The society has also taken a lively interest in the state-wide triangular debate, and has furnished to the school during the present year one ot' the triangular debaters, Lucille Mulholland with Clara Council as alternate. Much interest is being taken in a recitation contest which will be held at Guilford College in April. The girls have been asked to send a representative, Bsides the serious work of the society there have been several social affairs during the year. These have done much to encourage a spirit of comradeship and good fellowship among the members. Three valuable prizes, the Ethel Gladstone Debaters Medal, the Cornelia Spencer Literary Society Prize, and the Freshman Prize, will be awarded to deserving members at the end of the year. The success of the society during the year has been due in large measure to the valuable assistance and friendship of their most efficient faculty adviser, Miss Lelia Hampton, in the English department of the high school.

This success was due largely to the efforts of the officers, Eadean Pleasants, President, Beryl Jones, Secretary-Treasurer3 and Frank Turner, Stage Manager, and to the advice and assistance of Miss Harward, Mr. Arnold, and Mrs. Sease of the faculty. Lady Gregory's Spreading the Newsl' was presented in December, with the following cast: Epic Plyler, Pricilla Gregory, Mercer Guthrie, Douglas Chandler, Robert Cheatham, Dan Horton, Ernest Lowthrop, Edith McGranahan, Edwin Austin, and Albert Cotton. Lord Dunsay's 4cTl16x Lost Silk Hat was also success- fully presented in Chapel, as well as an Irish play as part of a St. Patrick,s day program. The Stunt Night in 'February was greatly enjoyed by all the inembers of the club, as every one took part. A very successful musical comedy, in which the whole school took part was presented to the general public, for the benefit of the Student Activities Fund. This was the biggest and best piece of work done dur- ing the year. The biggest dramatic event of the year, however, was the revival of the custom of giving a Senior Play. Although this was a class rather than a club activity, the training, that was received in the club greatly helped in making the play a success.

Conscious of the fact that at most they have but four years in high school, these boys are accepting the opportunities for personal growth, for physical, mental, spiritual and social development which the Hi-Y Club affords them. The Dur- ham Hi-Y Club is affiliated with the Secondary School-boys' Christian Movement of the Young Men's Christian Associations, a continental and even world-wide movement of similar ideals and aims. It is the first Club in North Carolina to be awarded certificates of standardization and affiliation with this Movement, the latter issued by the National Headquarters on November 9, 1918, ten days after the formal organization of the Club at the Durham Y. M. C. A. All members sign a declaration of purpose to extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The slogan of the Club is Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics and Clean Scholarship. The Club meets weekly, on Tuesday evenings, at the Y. M. C. A., for a supper served by ladies from the various churches. ' Ministers and other professional and business men of prominence address the meetings on vocational and religious themes which prove a real inspiration and help to the members. Business is transacted at these meet- ings and Bible Study engaged in in an informal discussion method under the leader- ship of the Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The Club also has intest- ing social activities from time to time, provides speakers for high school assemblies, and promotes Come Clean Campaigns, Older Boys' Conferences, and other forms of Christian service to the school and community. The officers for 1923-1924 are Lyman Bishop, President, Everett Vtfeatherspoon, Vice-President, Joseph Porterfield, Secretary, and Douglas Chandler, Treasurer. Messrs. Dean M. Arnold, of the high school faculty, and Arnold Eugene Jenny of the Y. M. C. A., are the Club's advisory mem-bers. Sixty-five students are actively engaged in the Club's memberehip and Work during the current school year. ll-'aye Une Hundred Thirteenj ll a, -, 1 Q- 4 4 A 5--, lPage One Hundred Fuurtem I l924 I: THE mESSEl'1Gl-ZR A T he Science Club .S N response to a growing feeling that a rendezvous for congenial spirits in- terested in science and things scientific should be provided, a group of stu- dents assembled in the Chem.

Realizing, as we do, the major part that science has played, and is playing, in making our age better than any of those gone by, our ardent desire now is to see, dimly at least, some of the scientific possibilities in the near future. i Our aim then is to drink long and deeply of the fount and to spread the Scientific Spiritll far and wide to every nook and corner, to every student in our great school.

S. is to furnish a nucleus for all that is highest and best in school life. The Club has been organized in this school for only four years, but during that time it has accomplished much toward its pur- pose. During the past year we feel that the club members, under the leadership of Miss Meta Dowling, have derived more good from the club than ever before. The three sides of the triangle, representing spirit, mind, and body, have been developed harmoni- ously in the Club's work throughout the year. The spirit which has dominated in the Blue Triangle may be shown best by a brief of its activities for the year. The program of service which has been carried out, may be considered the most im- portant work of the Club. During the Christmas season a delightful party was given at the Y. W. C. A. to some needy children of Durham. who were brought to the club rooms by the girls. A visit from Old Santa filled the children with a joy which they would not have been able to experience otherwise. Later on in the year the members of the club gave their time and money to help the Mary Lee Home for colored orphans. Other service work has been done too, individually by the girls, who have learned that the secret of happiness is service for others. Under the development of the mind we strived to make our weekly programs instruc- tive as well as interesting. The success of these programs has resulted from the un- tiring work of the Program Committee, There have also been talks and lectures by prominent citizens of the city. The body, too, has been developed in harmony with the spirit and mind. Many girls enjoyed the healthful privilege offered at our Y. W. C. A. camp for girls, Camp Hollow Rock. The Conference, too, at -Sweet Briar, could be classed not only under this side of the Triangle, but under Spirit and Mind, too. Six girls were sent as delegates to this conference last June, and so much good was derived from it, that the club has planned to send more this year. A play, Patsy, was given to raise funds for this purpose. In March rummage sales were also held for this same purpose. The ideals and standards of the club are expressed in the Girl Reserve Code: Gracious in manner Impartial in judgment Ready for service Loyal to friends Reaching toward the best Earnest in purpose Seeing the beautiful Eager for knowledge Reverent to God Victorious over self Ever dependable Sincere at all times. lPage One Hundred Eiyhteenj l924 THE r-1E55El'1GER T he Girly' Cozmczl 0 nation rises higher than its womanhood. The women of a generation are the arbiters of its moral strength. The recent increase in widening of the field of activity for women has brought with it a wealth of problems that can be solved only by the girls themselves. Realizing this, there was organized in D. H. S. in 1920 The Girls Council as a solution to the problem. It served as a melting pot for the school girl's perplexities, and here her troubles were threshed out. The Girls' Council in the High School grew out of an attempt to give to the responsible girlhood of the school a chance to study its own problems and be given an opportunity to lend their support in the administration of school affairs which materially affect the girls, their growth and happiness. It is now four years old, and a rather husky infant, for each year it has added something to its record. The first year, under Miss Brooks, dean of girls, it organized. The second year, under the leadership of Miss Pattie J. Groves, dean of girls, the Council perfected its organization and drafted a set of resolutions which brought forth state-wide and national comment on the right step. The third year, led by Miss Elnora Winfrey, the Council adopted these resolutions and the girls passed another resolution to limit the cost of graduation dresses, making it possible for a number to graduate who otherwise could not afford it. This year, under the leadership of Miss Helen B. May, dean of girls, the big idea has been the Big Sister plan, whose purpose is to abolish snobbishness, and create a spirit of fellowship and friendliness among the lower and upper classmen. This year the Council is divided into two groups: the Senior Council with Zoa Lee Haywood as president, and Nelda Barbee, secretaryg and the Junior Council, with Isabel Wannamaker as president, and Agnes Lee Shackleford, secretary. The Executive Com- mittee which is composed of the officers from the groups, meets frequently to plan the work which is taken up at the group meetings. The group meetings are held once a month to discuss with the girls different ways by which they may help themselves, the school, and their schoolmates. The following are the resolutions which were drawn up and adopted by the girls. They show in themselves the aim of the Girls' Council. I. Realizing that in a large group of students the individual student has to give up many privileges in order to promote the convenience and comfort of the Student body as a whole, We resolve to understand and observe the regulations necessary to make our school a comfortable place to live in, such as: 1. Walking through the halls. 2. Refraining from noisy talking in halls. 3. Keeping lavatories, halls, and grounds neat. 4. Keeping order in lunch line, etc. II. Bearing in mind that the girls of high school age wish to make themselves as attractive as possible. we further urge: 1. Simplicity in dress. 2. Nat-uralness in appearance. 3. Neatness in appearance. 4. Cleanliness and daintiness. III. In order to be more considerate and gracious we would ever be mindful of the rights and feelings of others. We should like to become a well-mannered group of girls. IV. Realizing that we are careless of the fact that our companions need our little acts of helpfulness each day, we resolve to be more considerate and helpful in our daily association and to carry out, in our school, the Big Sister idea. lPage One Hundred Nineteenj lltaff fff 55 6P'A4 i MESSENGER k LQI5 T he Commerczkzl Club ei MoTTo: He can who thinks he can COLORS: Rose and White 75? 5 The Commerical Clu-b was organized in 1922. It is composed of the students and graduates of the Commercial Department of the Durham High School. Its Object is to promote interest among the students of the business department. During the past year the Club played an important part in the activities of the school. Its outstanding achievements were: a very excellent play, the staging of the state-wide typewriting contest, and a much enjoyed banquet. This year a permanent club with regular meetings was organized and a constitution was adopted. For a club project, it is editing and publishing a four-page paper- THr: BUsYGRAPH. Several very interesting and enjoyable social-business meetings have been held, and other activities are planned. The success of the Club has been in a great measure due to the untiring efforts of Miss Ethel M. Solloway and Mr. J. A. Brame, who have given freely of their time and experi- ence to the work. The Commercial Club looks forward to a future, which has been made possible by the conscientious efforts of its members during 1923-24. Officers 5 HELEN FREELANO ..... . . . ....

The team accounted for eighteen victories out of twenty-one games played against some of the strongest teams of the state. Witili the memory of the disastrous football season fresh in the minds of the basketball candidates, practice was started with a whim and vim that gave promise of justifying the hopes and expectations of the stu- dent body. Four of last year'g men, Captain Hackney, Kelly, Bock, and VVarren, were back at their old positions. Philip Sher, Booth Howell, and Thomas Allen by dint of hard work made first string subs. Charles Bennett, who played for the Seniors in the inter-class games, made good as standing guard, and before the season ended, developed into one of the best guards in the state. Henry Satter- field, who stayed out of the game for part of the season o11 account of high blood pressure, broke into the line-up pust before the start of the elimination series and was soon playing a g1'eat game. The local wearers of the abbreviated uniforms, early in the season, met and de- feated Greensboro by a 37--13 score, Chapel Hill 16-7, and Mebane 26--4. The Alumni temporarily lowered the team7s sails by trouncing it 25-21 in a hotly contested game. Durham's next victims proved to be Oxford, State Freshmen, Monroe, and Chapel Hill, all of whom lost by la1'ge sco1'es. In two great games the team broke even with the Trinity Freshmen, winning the first, 25-21, and losing the second, 27-7. Belmont also was defeated, 28-8. On its western trip, the team mopped up with Greensboro, Oak Ridge, High Point, Mooresville, Mooresville All-Stars, and Monroe. This trip was more of a success than the most sanguine supporter hoped for. In the elimination series, the local cage artists easily defeated Middleburg, Cary, and Smithfield, in rapid succession, only to be overcome by Vlfilmington. All honor is due Coach Cook and his proteges who worked their way into the finals for the Eastern Championship. Witli prospects bright for winning the champion- ship of the state, Durham High hit a stumbling block when she played WilllllllgfOll High for the championship of the East. By outplaying the loeal team in the first half, and playing for time in the second half, the seaside team defeated them by a 30-24 score. The team, howeve1', played hard and was supported by the students until the last whistle was blown. It seems as though a black cat has crossed our path for the past three years, and yet to win the championship of the East, a team must first defeat Durham. lPage One Hundred, Twenty-sevenl op , -S X EVA L E- I 'I ll 924 ii ME5gEi'1GER s.-A A Gals' Basketball Team Q99 HE girls' basketball season opened with a series of inter-class games.

These girls practiced faithfully during the entire season. Owing to the adoption of a two-division court rule made by the state committee, the girls were barred from playing state games. Mr. Martin and Mrs. Warwick disapproved of girls playing by any rules excepting those using three-division court. The girls played two games with West Durham High School, the latter being victorious in both games. West Durham has been playing for three years with the same six girls, while Durham High is trying out its team for the first time. Great improvement was shown in our team between the two games. The score of the first game was 25-10, but the score of the second game was 25-20. Credit is due Mrs. Warwick, our new and much beloved coach, for her untiring energy and ability in coaching the girls. lPage One Hundred Twenty-ninej II 0 ll 55 ME5gEl'1GER L A Lrfggj Baseball ual E have a new baseball coach this year, Mr. William A.
