Life's steady stream flows on with the passing years. The brooks of the past are closely followed by the rivulets of the future. No single generation could, even if it would, stay the onward march of progress-and the class of 1927 is only too proud to add to that progress-and to be an integral part of it. We realize clearly that we represent the present-which is only a connecting link between the standards of the past and the progress of the future. It is our privilege therefore to turn our minds to the past. Even in this age when life's swift waters run on with incredible speed it is with pride that we view the changes and the progress of the years. And so, dear reader, we have striven to turn your thoughts to the vision of the hills of the past in whose lights and shadows are lurking memories of true ideals of golden youth-the memories which shall inspire us to a yet more glorious future. I Page Three 1 HlTf0ljf of Zlfflfllli High School Chapter 1 CJUR l'llSTtlRY MX Brief Sketchy Great oaks from little acorns grow. The present city school system was first organized in 1332, a little less than ii fty years ago. Then the newly formed Board of Education, with Mr. Eugene Morehead as its president, began the great task of popular education. lt elected Prof. li. XY. Kennedy as the principal and superintendent of the school, which consisted of nine grades. In the beginning the building was situated near the present site of Duke's Factory on Pettigrew Street in a two-story building. .Nt that time all the rooms were not needed. By 1334, however, the attendance had so increased that the graduating class was compelled to recite in the principal's othce, which also served as a library. The first class to receive diplomas graduated in 1834. lt consisted of: Misses Kate Cox, Etta Fanning, Jessie Llewellyn, Marion Fuller, .Xnnabel Mctiary, and Mr. Charles Barham. Miss Cox had the honor of delivering the salutatorv b . J and Mr. Larnham the Yaledictory. The growth of the school necessitated a new building, which was erected in 1893 and named in honor of Mr. Morehead, who had been a great benefactor of the system since its inception. ln September, 1906, a separate high school building was erected on Morris Street. Since this time the Morehead School has been used as a graded school. In 1922 the Durham High School was opened on North Duke Street, and is today unable comfortably to house the enrollment. To accommodate the increased enrollment, the hrst unit of a junior High School was erected in 1925 on the south end of the High School grounds. At the recent election the citizens voted a bond issue for 31,500,000 with which to provide for the rapid growth. Since the extension of the city limits, the city system includes: Durham Central High School, Durham junior High School, XYatts Street, North Durham, Fuller, East Durham, Edgemont, l.akewood, Morehead, VVest Durham Southside, VVest Durham Northside. The Durham High School now ranks among the leading High Schools, not only of the state, but of the south. Chapter H QUR C.xifET12RIA Of course, there was in the old days no up-to-date cafeteria as the one Durham High now has. The children used to bring their lunches in little baskets. Henry Faucette, our faithful janitor, saw his opportunity and began to sell apples and oranges in the spare room. This was the beginning of the cafeteria in the Durham High School! I Page Five 1 At the high school on Morris Street there began what was known as the Lunch Counter. Here the pupils might buy candy, pies, fruits, sandwiches, and lemonade, Wfhen the school was moved to Duke Street in 1922, the pupils found a new cafeteria at their service. Here for a small sum one may buy good, hot meals. Chapter HI OUR LIBRARY Professor E. VV. Kennedy in 1882 realized the need of a library. Accord- ingly, he placed in his office several dictionaries, encyclopedias, and reference books. The pupils of the school had access to these at all times during the day. but could not take them from the room. Friends and alumni of the school contributed to the number until in the Morris Street building a special room was set aside, which was known as the library. Books lined the walls on all sides. The drawback, however, was the same as in the old building-the books could not be taken from the library. In the present High School there is an excellent library with an efficient librarian. Books may be taken out and kept a week. This gives the students an opportunity to enjoy the books as never before. Each year the number and quality of the books have been raised until one may find almost any desired book on its shelves. Chapter IV OUR GYM Exercise is one of the most important factors in physical development. In the very first school it played a most important part. The pupils learned to use dumbbells and wands with amazing grace and agility, There was no room. set aside for this. The pupils were marched out intc the open to go through the drills. Of course, in the winter, it was no easy job to exercise when one was all bundled up in coats. Realizing this, the powers that be provided that a complete gymnasium and a swimming pool be constructed in our present high school building, and the students may now enjoy recreation from their studies in the exciting games staged there.

V, 1 eakseakseweaaeaseasseakseasaasaa he Ideal Lady-A Teacher IZ Durham fihlgh Srhool One cool July evening a girlish figure strolled from the West Palm Beach Hotel down the palm-fringed paths toward me. I had been searching, for what I did not know, for years and years, wearily, hopelessly, unceasingly. Slowly the slender figure clad in pink came 'toward me, and instructively I knew that the quest was ended. I had found her! Here, among whis- pering sea-waves and drifting palm-fronds, I had found her. VVhat an ideal place, an ideal time, an ideal way, to End an ideal teacher. Yes, she was a teacher, but such' a, teacher as I had never before seen. I drew nearer, to watch her. I saw that she had black, black hair, as wavy and soft as Miss Holton's tressesg her eyes were gray, of the same appeal as Miss Lelia Hamptons with a twinkle like the laughter in Mrs. Graham's, and fringed by lashes as beautiful as Mrs. Sasser's. As she walked slowly down the shaded path, I noticed that her figure was as small and gracefully curved and poised as that of Miss Vtfatkins. I heard her say in a soft, cultured voice, which reminded me of Miss Michae1's voice, Forsav et haec olim meminisse juvabitf' My heart leaped as she turned toward me, with a. smile as sweet as Miss Southerland's greeting, as she held out a hand as soft, and white as Miss Belle Hamp- ton's. For the first time, I noticed her dress, which was a fashionable shade of pink, made in one of these stylish modes so often affected by Miss Harward. I introduced myself, a little frightened at being at last so near a work of perfection. Her name was musically soft, Kath- eryn Dorsettg I loved to call her Katheryng it made me think of moonlight. As we talked, I learned that she was wise, very, with that sympathetic undertaking char- acteristic of Miss Herr. Her wit like that of Mrs. Gholson captivated me. She bewildered me with a charm that was like Miss May's, with the magnetism of Miss Solloway and the lovable nature that is Miss Maude Rogers. I found her business sense as keen as Miss Hall's and her dignity like unto Miss VVilloughby and as she spoke the quiet strength of Miss McManus flashed before me. One day I asked her to go on a picnic with me, and I was even more delighted to learn that she fried chicken, prepared sandwiches, and concocted delicate little cakes that almost rivalled Miss Chaplin's famous cookery. Again she startled 1ne into more praise when she showed me the most bewitching masquerade costume which she had made with her own dainty fingers, and designed with her own brilliant mind. It was wonderfully planned and beauti- fully made, just like the costumes Miss VVoolworth designs and makes. Again I saw her, in more perfection, when she was swimming a dashing over-hand stroke that Miss McManus does so well, she leaped through the water with amazing speed, and paddled a canoe, later, with an equally brilliant stroke. Her freshness made me think of Miss Berry, while her vivacity was an exact copy of lively Miss Anderson. Her talents were numerous: she drew and painted as baeutifully as Mrs. Plunkettg she sung and danced like a young debutante, but had a wisdom as deep and wide as Mrs. Shaw's. All in all, she was perfect. She was the ideal. I had found her, and victory was mine! CAROLYN FU1-LIaR, 'Z9. I Page Sewenl 1 W. F. VVARREN, Prizzfifval QUINTON HOLTON HELEN B.

XYhen the official in charge had apportioned the work for all the mates, everyone busily attacked his tasks. The daily toils increased, and the sea became rougher as the voyage progressed. Unly matters of trivial moment occured during the first nine months of the voyage. The first port was made in safety. More difficult passages were met during the second nine months travel. The strenuous work occasioned the dropping out of several of the crew. With the aid of .-Xdmiral Porterfielcl, those remaining worked rapidly in order that the voyage might not be prolonged. The members of the crew soon began banding themselves together into clubs of various kinds. Honors were bestowed on those showing the greatest amount of ability. The second port was reached in safety and with a certain degree of pride. The third lap of the journey marked the marshalling in of the more illustrious members to occupy the vacant offices left by the retiring crew. Rear Admiral Watkins headed the voyage for the third nine months. Everyone's work was faithful and diligent in order that his presence might not be lacking in the short stretch that lay between him and the great port of the metropolis, Graduation. The final stretch of the voyage lay before them, Under the able guidance of Rear Admiral Xkiatkins the schooner seemed sure of her port. Two dreaded demons of devastating inien, Scylla and Charybdis, overshadowed the path-- examinations. Then the yearly questionnaire that the govermnent extends to every crew, examined the general knowledge of the party. However, these grades, or ranks of naval ofiicership, were withheld until the following fall, at which time many members of the same crew would be promoted to positions on one of the greatest fiagships of the United States Navy. Parties, socials, and banquets were held in order that all the sailors might become more thoroughly acquainted before separating for the future years. Dramatic contests were held and many of the members of the cast won special distinction. Declamation and Debat- ing contests were held. In the former finsigns Livengood and Hooper were especially fortunate in winning first place honors. In the latter, Lieutenants Livengood, Mulholland, and Haywood were able to reach the finals with great success. .X bi-weekly account of the deck news was published by Skipper Livengood, with the able assistance of twenty-seven members of the crew. The pictures of the entire crew and 11 short resume of their work were compiled and published in a book under the direction of Skipper near the close of the voyage souvenirs were distributed Haywood. This year. among the members of the deck crew. They were in the form of solid gold rings with the seal of the steamship company for which they were working, a picture of the old ship, the lamp of knowledge, and pine cones that illustrated the long leaf pine of the flld North State cone, whence the great bark had first weighed anchor. -VYELLA JANE BURCH, 27. I Page Tl1z'r1'y-tzua 1 Wtisftribiitriisitribttrtisitriisftribftribiitrtisgtribif Senior C aff Proplzecy, 1926-27 A ROMANCE OF 1977 PRoI.oeUi-1 Lest this adventure fifty years from now should appear too fanciful, too weird, too improbable to some who pause in the stream of life to read this prophecy: I would suggest that they adjust their minds to changes, to give their imaginations free play, and to close their eyes and let their spirits wander unrestricted in the realm of fifty years from now. If anyone should think that fifty years is too daring a span, I would beg him to remember that the elixir of life has been discovered, and the characters of this story are still in their prime. One evening as I sat dozing in my bachelor apartment in front of the electric fire place, holding the evening newspaper in my hand, I was trying to decide a question. The paper I was holding carried a page advertisement that interested me intensely. The advertisement announced that anyone discovering and photographing the inventor of the Gravity Neutralizer would receive one million dollars from the American Consoli- dated Newspaper Association. The Gravity Neutralizer, the most important scientific discovery in a century, was a machine by which a new force was generated which counter- acted the attraction of gravity. By means of this, one could arise vertically from the ground and move through space with unbelievable speed. A small one in the pocket would enable a person to jump over a house without fear of a crash. Needless to say, this had revolutionized locomotion in the world. A romantic touch had been added to the mystery of the invention by the fact that the discoverer of this strange new force was unknown. The secret had been freely given to the world, and there were no patents. Naturally, people were curious to know who this great benefactor was. The advertisement was signed by Ruth Markham of the class of 1927, president of the association. Being an impecunious free lance newspaper reporter, and having no particular ties to hold me, I naturally wanted to get into the game both for the money and for the love of the adventure. As I pondered, suddenly an inspiration came to me. In my boyhood days I had known in high school a benevolent crank who would probably do just what 'this inventor had done. It was a clue worth following anyhow. I had not heard of him for years, and'I realized that the search would take time and money. Having plenty of time, and knowing a friend who had the money, I immediately went to John VVeatherspoon. president of a half-dozen banks. VVhen I, had laid my plan before John and whispered my suspicion, he assured me there would be no lack of money. I-Ie tapped a button and there appeared three ofhcials of his organization, whom I recognized as Edgar XValler, Grace Nachamson, and Grogan Beall. After greetings were over he gave them instructions to see that the enterprise was properly financed. The morning found me on board a giant airboat, which was able to Hoat through space by the aid of the gravity neutralizer. I was bound for London in search of Erdine Broadwell, an inseparable friend of the person I was seeking, and one who would surely know his where- abouts. Across the aisle sat Katherine Stone, a great gossip, still. I gathered from her characteristicly gushing speech a good many interesting bits of news about my classmates. Dallas Alford was the proprietor of a beauty parlor which was operated by Emily Dowdee. Anton deBruyne, disappointed in love, lived a hermit's life raising bees so that some sweetness would still remain in his life. Mary Lee Billings and Mary Kirkland were the joint owners of St. Marys select school for boys. Admiral Alston W'atkins of the U. S. Navy had lost his job since the neutralizer had done away with ships, and was now selling balloons at the circus owned by' Oliver Hicks and Mary Barbee. Henry Scott was head of a chain of co-operative stores, with Inez Malone as press agent. Arriving in London I used my gravity neutralizer to rise above the congested trafhc and explore. yVhile swooping around, a foot came smartly in contact with my head, and looking up to discover the owner I sawt another party having a joy ride with the use of the neutralizer. They were Louise Duke, Alton Clark, Gladys Cain, and Williaiii Crum- packer. The members of this jolly crowd were all making fine livings by conducting I1 tourist camp at the North Pole. They were in London drumming up trade. Upon learning whom I wished to End, they' immediately told me of the big Broadwell-Satterfield boxing match that night. I Page Thirty-fI11'c'e I Of course, I joined the party and went to the match. We bought tickets from Esther Draughon, who joyously greeted us. As soon as I had sat down I began to look around and saw many familiar faces. There was Margaret Boddie, an usher in this palace of sports. and there was Professor Madge Colclough, a teacher of the science of raising goldfish. There was Doctor Emory Adkins who ran a school of juggling in which he wa-s assisted by his talented understudy, Miss Vella Jane Burch. It was then that I became aware of the contestants in the ring. As I looked there was Referee Glenn Bunting holding up Erdine Broadwell's arm as the winner, and Mary Branson trying to make the unlucky Carlotta take an interest in this world and quit thinking about the next. We rushed forward and had a jolly time congratulating the winner, I't's almost like a class reunion, exclaimed Jessie Cannady, Erdine's manager, Much as I hated to leave this merry throng, I was forced to go, for Erdine had whispered, The last I heard of him he was in China. If you will go there and' see Elizabeth Cobb. who is the wife of the President of the republic of China, she will give you the latest news about him. So in consequence I boarded a pullman limited airboat for the over-night trip to China, and went to bed. Along about two or three in the morning, when we were over Persia, I was rather unpleasantly awakened by an agonizing, blood-curdling, but strongly familiar shriek. Needless to say, I poked my head out of my berth, in fact I did so with such violence that it collided with a like obstacle protruding from the opposite lferth. The owner of the obstacle said something exceedingly uncomplimenrarv about me and, looking up, I gazed into the angry countenance of Judge Egbert Haywood. of thc Turkish Supreme Court. Thence I hastened to turn my eyes to the very fat lady in the aisle whom I recognized as Sarah Lindsey. She was still screaming, Elmer! Elmer Dobbins! Come here quick! I've left my lipstick in Paris! Arriving in India the next morning I stopped off at Mount Everest, the highest point in the world. There I found a group of distinguished scientists trying to shoot a passenger cannon ball to Mars. This group of scientists under the able leadership of Professor Stroud Watson, B.A., B.S., M.A., Ph.D., L.L.D., etc., contained many old friends, among Whom Mavis Mangum, Anna Miller, Rolbert Russell, Roger Swain, and Luna Tilley' were promi-' nent. I also joyfully recognized Charles H. Livengood, jr., Mary Martin and Evelyn Ross, who had volunteered to be shot to Mars. I always was ambitiousf' Charles said to me. ,lust then along flew Agnes Holloway, always a very close friend of the suspected inventor, and in a whispered conversation with her I learned that Elizabeth Cobb was in Peking, but that her husband was in America. Thanking Agnes, and taking regretful leave of my friends after telling Charles to give the people of Mars my best regards, I again boa.rded my airboat for Peking. This time the journey passed quickly, for I had as travelling companion Thomas Jones, who was the promoter of a scheme for making paper of river water, and Louise Howard, who was correspondent for a Shanghai paper. Of course we were glad to see each other and gossiped the whole way. I learned from these two business people of China that Kate Graham was teaching the Chinese girls to dance the Charleston, and that Sara Dave and Ethel Harris were the happy, contented, and obedient wives of native Chinese business men, also that jack Kirkland, Morris Southerland, and Marvin Moore were in China representing an American company interested in straightening Chinese eyes: Lois Stanley was in China introducing weenies as a substitute for bird nests. Alighting in Peking I encountered Thelma Poe, who was a member of a. musical comedy company, and she led me to Elizabeth, who was playing in the same show. Among the notable performers were Mary VValker, the greatest opera singer alive: Muriel Stone, the snake charmerg Henrietta Weaver, the marvelous tight rope walker: and the Paschall sisters, the wild animal hypnotizersf' I moved through the throng, renewing acquaintances, and at last found Elizabeth. She informed me that the object of my search had left China some time fbefore, making a non-stop journey to America. by himself in a boat no larger than a canoe. She also said that on his arrival he had called her up over the visual radio phone, the famed invention of Prof. Evelyn Buckman. As the weather was hot, I decided to go to America in a submarine. Accordingly, I embarked in an immense glass submarine which skimmed a mile deep under the sea with all the waters lighted up as bright as day with newly discovered radioactive water-pene- tratiug light rays. The skipper of this noble craft was Mary Norris. Officers on board included Louise McMillan, Eleanor Peek, and Margaret Rogers, all of whom were in their element. Among the passengers there was that professional gossip, Stephen Sneed, who told me that he had seen the object of my searchl a short time before and that he had returned to his old haunts once more, and that I would in all probability find him in his shack on Eno River. Arriving at the wharf in San Francisco I was surprised to find Lizzie Lyon, Wilina Nichols and Mabel Rigsbee, who were chemists en route to Hawaii to experiment with the use of pineapple juice as a remedy for adenoids. I Page Tlzirty-four 1 Boarding one of the trans-continental air boats I again resumed my search. On board I found Henry Harris and Claiborne Byrd, who were travelling salesmen selling collapsible radios. They told me of another friend on board, and together we went forward and saw Evelyn Dowdee, who was acting as radio-operator on the air boat. Arriving in Durham we separated. Proceeding cautiously to the former home of the suspected inventor, I found Margaret Landis in possession. She told me that she had rented the house and was keeping boarders. I also learned that the former owner had moved to an estate on Eno River and lived almost as a hermit. I thanked her and joyfully hastened to the spot mentioned and found no one at home. I prowled around and finally obtained access to the hut. VVhatever qualms l felt were silenced when I remembered that the end justified the means. I looked around me at the wonderful laboratory and knew that there was no longer any doubt as to the inventor of'. the Gravity Neutralizer. Many other inventions I also found there, not yet given to the world, such as a way of making electricity from the sun's rays, and of liberating the force of ionization. I was just about to look further when I was startled by a step just outside. Quickly I swung my portable camera to its tripod and prepared to take the picture that would give me a fortune,-for there framed in the doorway stood-Conrad Sydney Hooper, junior. .F1.Jll'.Y. jack IXIARTIN, '.27. l 7'KN9'Q 2wff :T if ' if I 'il 7 ix r ' K ,355 ,SH E , QQ .- -- fn N Li- -Jew - Qaid f xy we- f 53f.Q,?f ' ':-213 Y R x- XiQ .' 2 l Q 7 '1 f Q 77 4?

Graduate! The Post Graduate Class this year is the largest in the history of the Durham High School. At the beginning of the year the enrollment was twenty-three with students representing every section of the city. Later in the year three members of the class dropped out to enter the profession of nursing, while a fourth secured a position as typist for the State Legislature in Raleigh. Under the leadership of Florence Crabtree, as captain, and Iva Collins, as manager, the Post Graduate Class participated in the inter-class basketball games. The team: Florence Crabtree, Snowden Crabtree, lva Collins, Helen Burgess, Clara Hobbie, Elma Carleton, and Edna Henley, made a vrey commendable record. The class has shown a fine school spirit by taking part in the school activities. The following Post Graduates entered both Departmental and State Type- writing Contest: Edna Henley, who won a place on the Loving Cup Team, Iva Collins, Cophine Vtfoods, and Fay Markham, who competed for Novice honors. Before the school year closed three members of the class secured work with business hrms. NVith four years academic training and one year specialization in business, the Post Graduates are well prepared to make a success in the business world. The class wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the odicials of Durham High School for giving them the opportunity to secure a business train- ing, and to the Commercial teachers, Miss Ethel M. Solloway, Miss Katherine Hall, and Miss hola W'illoughby, for their interest in and untiring efforts for each member of the class.

Sweetpea Date of Organization: 1921 The Cooperative Class has entered on its roll this year thirty-eight members, tive of whom are graduating in June. The senior Coops represent five occupations: one is a dry cleaning employeeg another, a junior drug clerk: another, a florist: another, a shoe salesmang and still another, a painter. Twenty-two different occupations are engaged in by the Coops. all of whom have part-time jobs. The Wages of these young men range from five to forty dollars a week. Many of these students are entirely self supporting. 011 March the seventeenth, the Coroso players, composed of boys of the Cooperative Class and girls of the Commercial Club, again made their appearance in the High School Auditorium at which time they presented Daddy Long Legs to a crowded house from- which over a hundred people were turned away. This fact and popular demand necessitated a second presentation. A third of their hundred dollars, net proceeds from these two per- formances, was presented to the school fund for beautifying the building. The Coops taking -part in Daddy Long Legs were: Henry Scott, president, who carried the leading role as Daddy Long-Legsg Philip Sher, who appeared as Jimmie g Bunyan Barefoot, as Freddie'lg Cosmo Cox, as VVykoff g John VVeatherspoon, as Persons : Vernon Johnson as Codman g and Clifford Vestal, as Griggs, A former Coop president Headley Kynoch, also took part in the play. Headley has taken part in each of the Coroso plays thus far. In many ways the'Cooperative Class has excelled its past record this year. It has a larger enrollment: its list of failures has been smaller than that of former years: and its members are more earnest in purpose than formerly. The class stands 100W strong behind worthy students activities. Even though some of the boys were in financial straits every Coop subscribed to the Hi-Rocket and joined the Athletic Association. Unselfish service is the aim of every Cooperative Class member, each of whom is willing to sacrifice for the good of others. The class is a distinct asset to school and connnunity life and the secret of its achieve- ments and wholesome ideals is the vision, wisdom and devotion of a rare spirit, its leader, Miss Maude Rogers.

On it were gathered flocks of eager passengers, the greenest of the green, from various places. Smoothly the train travelled, except for the semi- annual wrecks caused by hnal exams. Occasionally a passenger fell from the observation platform and was left by the track until he was rescued by a later train. Then sometimes a member of the crew, unusually skillful, would use his own small hand car and reach the great limited that was ahead. Short stops were made in the Kingdom of the Seventh Grade and the City of the Eighth Grade. Nothing wonderful occurred here. XYhen at last, however. Freshmanville was approached, things began to happen fast. The great green train sent several of its passengers to tight in the various battles of the time. There were representatives sent to the great Athletic Battles, and they returned Victorious. There were debaters, declaimers, and reciters who left the train to come back with laurels. Then the magnificent town of Sophomoredom was reached, with its towering buildings of intellect and its wide streets of knowledge. Here the train was repainted and no longer did it wear its cracking coat of green. Other improve- ments were inade and with these it seemed necessary to have a conductor. The passengers chose Albert Edwards for this honorable task and Harry Young as his assistant. To Marjorie Glasson they assigned the task of the keeping of the official records. Much was accomplished by the remodelled train on its jolly journey. Increasingly few were left stranded by the rails, and threatened wrecks were often avoided or, in any case, survived. Many battles were fought and won. both athletic and literary. Now ahead, lies the station juniorton. Still farther in the dim and distant future the beautiful and marvelous land of the Seniors is glimpsed, with knowledge trees swinging their luxuriantly green boughs over diploma mines and little birds sweetly twittering graduation songs. The passengers feel that they may some day after many triumphs and some defeats reach this most wonderful of lands. llgage Fifty-five 1 r Good-Bye fo ou tTune: l'ni Drifting Back tn Dreamlandj The ties that we'ye niade must he broken Old scenes we must bid adieu And the grief that we feel is a token 1 if the luye we bear for you.

H. S. lQine. They awaited the ringing of the bell, all very eager to start the journey. Finally. with a great roar the engine caught, and up and up they soared into the High School atmosphere. They decided that it would be a good plan to choose several persons on board to act as officers: consequently, they chose Dick XVhite, Chief Pilotg john Cozart, Assistant Pilot, with Bohn Cunningham and Norman Hackney to help organize things. The first few days in the air some of them got a bit dizzy, and were inclined to turn back. After a while, however, they caught the swing of things and all was peaceful. They Hew on until they reached Christmas. Here they made a landing' just to see the sights and have some fun. Once more they climbed aboard the airship and resumed the work on board. About a week afterwards the craft took an exciting tail spin in some cloud banks known as exams! Some were saved and others fell to the earth, bruised and broken. After this terrible calamity they bought another aeroplane, which they promptly named The Second Semester Freshman. All those surviving 'the wreck started on the second part of the journey. They hoped with their new craft to overtake the less modern ones, Sophomore, junior, and Senior, They travelled on and on until the sixteenth of May. On this memorable day the 'plane again encountered those terrible cloud banks. This time, however, it took an nose dive, and only a few of the passengers were lost. Although the craft was almost completely demolished, everything had not been in vain-they had overtaken the air craft, Sophomore, Seeing their sad plight, the kindly ship rescued them, as most of her crew and passengers had boarded junior, After so many thrilling' adventures the passengers decided that they needed a rest, so they made a landing and took a vacation of three months. During this year of travel there had been many activities on board the D. H. Line in which the passengers of The Freshman took an active part. It was espe- cially represented in athletics, as the captain of the basketball team was none other than the Pilot himself, and many of the football and baseball players were among her passenger list. lljagc Fifty-uiizrj 4 1' M6J'S67Zg67' Szfczf' X Aw 6 n 1 ' w L Eu'x1aR1' IIAx'w1um, lfditm'-in-fllirf W ' DAI.LAs Aufcmn gf, l311x1r1rs.v JIUIIIIIIF1' z 1. 5 1.

Many old faces were missed. These had passed on to other fields leaving behind the undying admiration of the student body. There came among us a new leader. One who through the year has guided the ship of state with uncanny skill. A friend, a counselor, and an advisor to all. It is needless to go further, for every student of Durham High knows the splendid characteristics of our beloved principal, Mr. Wh F. Wfarren. The staff of the Messenger wishes to express here the gratitude for his cooperation in helping make the '27 annual the best possible. Many problems confronted the staff at the outset of the year. The most important was counselorship. VVe realized fully that competent advice was very essential to an inexperienced staff. Two of the famous Messenger trio. Miss Flegal, Mr. Jenkins and Miss Boddie, had gone into other fields. Mr. jenkins stayed firmly by and his business advice has aided greatly in the production of the annual. The two vacancies were filled by the willing hands of three of the faculty. Miss Plunkett kindly consented to aid in the art work. Miss Herr and Miss Holton willingly agreed to help in the literary capacity. To these four we owe our esteem and gratitude for their unselfish gift of counsel. time, and energy. To Kate Graham, the head of the Literary Staffg to Dallas Alford, the head of the Business Staff: and to Henrietta Wfeaver, the head of the Art Staff, the Editor wishes to express his sincere and heartiest thanks. Other members of the staff who served so efficiently were Evelyn Dowdee. Stroud VVatson and Nat Gregory. VVe also wish to thank at this time the student body of Durham High School for their loyal support and cooperation. The quartet of faculty advisors will ever be esteemed by the class of '27. Never shall we forget Mr. NVarren's hearty cooperation. VVe shall hold these counselors in loving remembrance for their demonstration of devotion to the class of '27. lPage Sixty-two 1 1 ,1' 11 .A ,11111..1 Y ' 2 5.1,'1IW - ,, 11 I Y0! , 'F MQ 'M ,LL1 '11'1,fi?3.1?1'3' 7?

This old-fash- ioned course has been expanded to a cooperative program which features not only these essentials, but also presents itself in the form of numerous lixtra Curricular Activities. The change was the result of many trials and much experience. These various activities reveal their true value in aiding the ambitious student to develop his talents otherwise undeveloped. Academic studies have found a big brother in the literary societies. Long years of faithful work by the studentsgand faculty advisors have resulted in the Blackwell and Cornelia Spencer Literary Societies. These two original groups formed a nucleus for the formation of live new and growing literary clubs in the past school session. Qther Helds of activity have been opened through the C3.l'11CS'E cooperation of students and teachers in the developing of many new clubs. These successful organizations have had a progressive year. They have emphasized dramatics, athletics, music, business, and Christian fellowship The outstanding accomplishments of these f s are made known through the columns of our bi-weekly publication, Theil 1- .cket. Through these agencies the student gains c nce and training which will prove helpful in his business or professionalica , .

A late reorganization under the leadership of Misses l.essie l.ee Harward and Aura Holton, and Mr. VVilliam Faucette, was followed by the selection of ri cast for Booth Tarkington's comedy, The Ghost Story, but on account of the rapid approach of the Dramatic-State-VVide Contest, this was postponed to appear again with great success. For the contest, the club decided upon Stuart XValker's charming fantasy, Six VVho Pass Vtfhile the Lentils Boilf' After the cast was selected real work began. In the first trangular contest for state honors, Durham met strong teams from both Raleigh and Chapel Hill. The interpretation and presentation won for them unanimous decision as champions of the triangle. Two weeks later the second elimination contest took place, Durham this time meeting New Bern and Spring Hope and winning the championship of Eastern Carolina and eastern honors. On Friday, March 25, Durham went to Chapel Hill, for the final contest, and made a very creditable if not winning im- pression there. This time the Durham Club met its strongest opponent, the Charlotte High School Club presenting jazz and Minuet . The judges decided that the Queen City should wear the Dramatic Crown. The Durham High School Dramatic Club, while not state champions, made an excellent appearance, pro- ceeded further than yet before towards the prize, and presented a play that did justice to' the school and city. The Dramatic Club is deeply indebted to the interest of the assistance of Miss Lessfe Harward and Miss Aura Holton and to Mr. YVest and Mr. Faucette, who built the stage set for the play.

From small beginnings it has grown to one of the largest and most active organizations in the school. lt is one of the most effective groups of the Durham branch of the world-wide Young Men's Christian Association. Seventy- five members enrolled during 1926-27 and a very large proportion of these are active participants in the club's work. The heart of the 1-li-Y C1ub's life is to be found in its meetings at the local Y. M. C. A. building each Tuesday at 6:15 o'clock. Following supper, served in turn by ladies from eleven churches, and a brief business session, the members discuss vital life problems. Frequently school and university faculty members, business men, ministers and other professional leaders address the club. lint many of the most valuable discussions are led by the boys themselves. Shorn of its hypocrises, shams and artificialities, life is here laid bare, seen in its reality and true nature. The spirit is magnified: the body and other things material as- sume their proper, subordinate places. This quest for truth and life leads inevi- tably to Jesus, who is at once the club's chief inspiration and its dynamic power. To the Hi-Y Club, life and religion are one: to live the jesus way , the highest expression of religion. In addition to its regular weekly meetings, the club enjoys periodic indoor socials and picnic outings with its members' girl-friends, basketball and other rec- reational facilities at the Y building. From time to time it provides chapel programs at school and performs other service tasks in the community as needs and opportunities are found. The club also plays a large part in the work of the state Hi-Y Congress and the Older Boys' Conference. The Hi-Y Club helps many a boy find himself. lt is an important supple- ment to the regular curricular activities of the school. lt meets a very real need in the lives of older high school boys. lt helps ht them for college and after-life The officers for 1926-27 are: Alston XVatkins, president: lilmer Dobbins. vice-president: Bacon Fuller, secretary: .Iohn ll. l.ougee, treasurerg and .lack Martin, general chairman of program committees. Arnold Eugene Jenny, execu- tive secretary of 'the Association's boys' division. is the club's adult leader. Messrs. W. F. VVarren and Frank M. Martin are advisory members.

The emotions of the school are to be found in the paper's columns, it strives to be a trustworthy recorder of student achieve- ments, to do its bit in upbuilding the morale of D. H. S. The Hr-RockET has developed, in its seven years of existence, from a four page paper, with a staff of about ten members, to eight-page paper, in 1926. with a staff of some fifty members. The 1927 T'lI-TQUCKET was reduced to six pages in order to make it available to students for iifty cents, despite increased printing rates. Although very similar to the publication of last year, the 1927 l-ll-Rockler has adopted a number of innovations. Among these are a new type of head- lining, a new staff organization, and a general rearrangement in make-np. Two teams. composed of literary, general and special news, art, and joke staffs, alter- nately submit material for an issue. The team captains, Isabel XYannamaker, and Jack Martin, assign the work and aid in its collection. To the literary staff falls the task of writing editorials, verse, short stories, feature articles, and personals. Under the direction of each of the team captains, they discuss on the editorial page current events, their results and causesg sincerely seeking to mould the actions of the school by constructive criticism. The general news reporters are assigned happenings of interest to the school as a whole. Their task is to learn and divulge generally unknown facts, to interview school officials and other prominent personages. Special news reporters. on the other hand, are to keep up with happenings in their respective fields, the various extra-curricular activities of Durham High. lt is the duty of the Editor-in-Chief, Charles Livengood, 1927, and Bill Farthing, the 1928 editor. to amass these contributions and those of the joke and art editors, with headlines, read and correct proof, determine the make up of the paper, and provide the general assistance. To equip them for these duties and to better the paper by comparison with similar organs, three representatives were sent in February to the Columbia Scholastic Press Convention in New York City. This was made possible by the generous co-operation of the entire student body and the whole hearted efforts of the business staff. lt is this staff, under the direction of business manager, Joseph Porterheld. and his assistant, D. l-. Boone, which makes the paper entirely self-supporting. VVhile gaining business training, they procure advertisements, solicit subscrip- tions, provide for distribution of the paper, and carry on all hnancial affairs. Thus, then, have been published-with the most patient co-operation of Misses Marguerite Herr, Aura Holton, and Kathryn Dorsett, literary advisors, Mrs. Cora Plunkett, art advisor, and Mr. B. l.. deliruyne, business advisor-the eighteen issues of the 1927 Ht-ROCKET.

The increase in number is due largely to the extension of the school district. Qur high school has become the Central High School and the development of our city is reflected in the growth of our club. The principal project of the year was to help the School Improvement Fund. Joining with their partner club, the Co-operative Class, the Coroso Players gave Daddy-Long-Legs under the splendid direction of Mrs. VV. XV. Card. The Commercial Club girls who did excellent work in this play were Misses Gussie Silver, Fay Markham, Clara XVebster, Sara Dave, Louise Howard, Louise McMillan, Mary Abernethy, Edna Henley, Wfatkins Cox, Gladys Speed, Mattie Cousins, Margaret Harward, Mildred Shipp, and Helen Burgess. After one-third of the net proceeds from the play had been given to the School Improvement Fund, the club, living up to its plan of working with other organizations of the school, made a gift to each of the following organizations: The Chicago Fund, The New York Trip, The Music Club, and the Debating Club. During the year interesting talks were made to the club by Superintendent F. M. Martin, Principal W. F. Vlfarren, Miss Helen B. May, and Mr. Quinton Holton. The Department entered its best typists in the State Typewriting Contest which was held in Chapel Hill, May 7. A Departmental Contest was held in the school auditorium on Tlnirsday preceding the State contest on Saturday. On President's Day, the four former presidents, Mrs. Fannie NYilliams Sykes, Mrs, Helen Freeland Culbreth, Mr. Alpheus Gresham, and Mr. Gorden Perry, visited the club and told of their experiences in the business world and, urged the members to keep up the good work of the club. The fourth annual banquet was held in the High School cafeteria, April 29. An excellent program was presented to the 110 guests. Major L. P. McLendon was the speaker of the evening. The success of the year's work is due to the active interest of the club members, officers, and faculty advisors, Miss Ethel M. Solloway, Miss Katherine XV. Hall, and Miss Lola VVilloughby. lPage Sewnty-0110 1 L LPage Sezfmzty-two 1 M MITTEE CO EXECUTIVE S CLUB GIRL The Gzzlf Club The Girls Club is an indespensable factor in the High School, Organized. primarily. in the interest of the high school girl, it has gradually expanded until it envelops every phase of high school life. The club as a whole performs a definite work. Its funds maintain and support worthy girls in school, a higher standard of health among the girls has resulted from the intro- duction of health records: its helpful spirit promotes a feeling of loyalty and good fellow- ship and its capable hand is largely responsible for the neat appearance of our building. At the beginning of each year the club girls play big sister to the new members. These little sisters are taken under the wing of the club, entertained at a welcome party. introduced to their fellow students and made to feel generally at home. The guiding power of the Girls Club is our dean of girls, Miss Helen B. May whose tireless efforts and unstinted devotion may be likened to the altar tires burning steadily behind the organization. The club is under the jurisdiction of an executive board and six committees: XVays and Meansg chairman, Kate Graham: Programg chairman, Isabel VVannamakerg Record: chairman, Betty Reamsq Houseg chairman, Mary Barbeeg Socialg chairman, Margaret Rogersg Publicity: chairman. Faye Mulholland. The executive board is as follows: Presi- dent, Cornelia Yarbrough, Vice-President, Uldine Rogersg Secretary, Leonora deliruynel Treasurer, Elizabeth Rowland. The VVays and Means committee formulates and carries through certain projects for raising money and our funds have been greatly increased by their efforts. The Program committtee contributes the cultural as well as the recreational side of the club. A variety of interesting and instructive talks are given on art, dress, health, travel, manners, etc. which have proved as entertaining as valuable. The best array of musical talent is secured for the entertainment part of the program. The Record committee keeps the health records. The records containing important health chores are distributed in the session rooms by the respective monitors. Each health habit accomplished is checked and the card returned to the-monitor who, in turn, presents it to the record committee. The committee checks over the cards and as award of merit allows a stipulated number of points to the girl and to the side on which she is listed-Imp or Pep. ' No less important are the duties of the other committees. The House committee is instrumental in improving the general appearance of our building. The keynote of the Girls Club is service and loyalty. In its seven years of existence it has become an established institution-an institution that devotes itself to the welfare of the girl and the school. It has accomplished much and hopes to do moregan organization Whose high aim is a true representation of the spirit of the Durham High School, lPrzge Scffczzty-tlzrce 1 5 G A 'C cc LD C Z Q A LY-I I F-' 1 The fllonogrflm Cfub Among our interesting newcomers this year is one who has come to stay- The Monogram Club.

Mr. llolton The Blackwell Literary Society is the oldest organization in the Durham High School, having been organized in the spring of 1905 under the superin- tendency of Prof. ll. A. Matheson, when the High School was still a part of the old Morelieatl School. Prof. VV. D. Carmichael, then principal of the school was it's chief promoter and inspiring guide. XVith the help of the school board and its alumni members, a handsome hall with suitable furnishings and pictures was equipped by the Society in the new Morris Street building when the High School was given a separate home in l906. The marvelous growth of the school in the immediate future, however, necessitated the appropriation of the Society's hall for a class room and its chairs and pictures were scattered over the building. It is the ardent hope of the boys that, with the completion of the ,Iun'or High School, the material needs of the Society may again be supplied. Meanwhile, the organizations record of achievement has steadily lengthened and has in the past year reached its highest point. XVilliam Farthing last year won the statewide declamation contest medal at Guilford College. Charles Livengood repeated the achievement in the 9019 contest at Duke University this spring, and C. S. Hooper, -lr., won the medal at Vkfake Forest, April l. Un the triangular debate teams this year Blackwell placed three of its members: XYilliam Farthing and Charles Livengood constituting the atiirmative team which won from Fayetteville in Raleigh, while Egbert Haywood was one of the negative team that defeated Raleigh in Fayetteville. Livengood was chosen in a keen com- petition to represent the school in the Guilford Contest this year. where he made the finals, but lost the medal in a close contest. In the debate Durham's negative was defeated in the first round, and the affirmative made the semi-finals, where it was defeated in a close contest by Greensboro, the eventual winner of the cup. Parliamentary training as well as forensic experience is the premium for Blackwell Society membership: and Blackwell boys are proud of the leadership their members have enjoyed at Carolina, Duke, Davidson, VVake Forest, and else- where.

In spite of the fact that many other lterary societies have been formed this year, the Cornelia Spencer has maintained a membership of about forty-two. This society has produced some very efficient debaters this yearg namely. Fay Mulholland, Inez Malone, Mary Morris, and others. The Cornelia Spencer was one of the societies to accept the Blackwell Literary Society challenge to an lnter-Society debate, and at a preliminary for the purpose of selecting speakers for this debate 'Faye Mulholland was chosen as first speaker and Mary Morris as alternate to represent the Cornelia Spencer Society. The Guilford Contest and The VVoman's Club Contest are creating the usual interest among the Cornelia Spencer girls and many of the members are already getting ready to enter. Besides these contests, the society is looking forward to its annual play, and the usual parties, picnics, and Weenie roasts. At the end of the year the Ethel Gladstone Debating medal, the Cornelia Spencer Literary Society medal for the best all round work, and the Freshman medal, which keep alive interest and spirit of friendly rivalry, will be presented to the deserving members. The members who have served as officials of this society this term are: FIRST QUiXRTER Faye Mulholland IJl'L'A'I'CI1CllZ' Gladys Paschall I'1't'v-Pwsidcizf Mary Morris St'l'l't'ftIl'kV Erdine Broadwell Y'1't'c1s111'v1' Mary Morris illiimlziill Gussie Silver Cififlil' Rosa May Broadwell Cllltlffllillt Sacoxn QUARTER Gussie Silver Isabel XYannamaker Louise lXlcMillan Erdine Broadwell Sara Dave llflary Norris Sara McCracken I ,Page Seventy-fziize 1 MNSMNSMZSSMQSSWQKSWQNQMNQMWMNSMNS DEBATERS The dyeoee fllemoriezl Debate Durham High School was the lirst school in North Carolina to gain permanent pos- session of the Aycock Memorial Cup. Since 1913 the school has entered the debating con- test ten times, and her teams have three times brought home the coveted cup: first in 1919. then in 1921, and Hnally in 1922 as a permanent possession. It is an outstanding fa-ct that the debaters of Durham High have almost without exception continued their forensic achievements in college and the roster of the inter- collegiate debaters of both Duke and U. N. C. would probably show a higher percentage of Durham High school graduates than of any school in the state. The clebaters of 19.27 are no whit inferior to their predecessors. The Blackwell Literary Society, in order to stimulate interest this year in the state- wide Aycock debate, since a public intersociety debate on the Aycock query had in years past been a fixed means of selecting speakers for the school teams: and since there were this year la number of new societies, challenged the Cornelia Spencer or any or all societies to a public debate to be held on February 28. The preliminaries for the intersociety challenge were held February 15, and the following participants were chosen: Betty Boesch from the O. Henry Society and Faye Mulholland from the Cornelia Spencer forming the negative team: VVilliam Farthing and Charles Livengood from the Blackwell Society forming the affirmative team. This intersociety debate was held February 28, discussing the query: Rr.mIt'vd, That Congress should enact the Curtis- Reed Bill providing for a federal department of education. The negative team was declared winner over the affirmative in a hard-fought battle, by a two to one decision. Charles Livengood and Faye Mulholland were chosen by the judges for the final triangular teams. The open preliminaries were held March 4, Egbert Haywood and William Farthing being chosen as the other two members of the teams. The linal teams were: Affirmative-VVilliam Farthing and Charles Livengood Negative-Faye Mulholland and Egbert Haywood. ' The' affirmative team debated the Fayetteville High School in Raleigh on April 1, and the negative met the Raleigh High School in Fayetteville at the same time. As, both of Durham's teams were victorious on April 1, they were eligible to enter the fifteenth annual contest for the Aycock Memorial Cup held April 14 and 15 in Chapel Hill. Out of one hundred and thirty-four teams that came to Chapel Hill twenty-eight were successful in making their way through the preliminaries to the semi-finals, Durham's affirmative team being one of the number. Although Durham Highi did not get in the final contest she gave her combatants at close race. According to the announcement of the judges in the semi-hnals, the decision of winner among the fourteen best affirmative teams lay between Greensboro and Durham, with Wlilson as third.

From the initial meeting the spirit of sincerity and of efficiency has dominated all the activities of the Society. The predominance of these inHuences was first evidenced in the selection of a name that would best represent the ideals of the society. Due to the importance of this procedure it was only after a most careful consideration and because of the following attributes that the name of Vvalter Hines Page was chosen: tlj his international influence: C21 his domestic popularityg C39 his nativity, his being a North Caroliniang C45 his aid in making education the foremost institution in North Carolinag C55 his literary accomplishments. During the regular meetings the discussions have been centered upon the life of Mr. Pagefhis early boyhood, his education, his participation in government affairs, and his work as a journalist and author. Added to this have been the regular activities such as debating and reciting, created in a most effective and helpful manner under the personal supervision of the faculty advisor, Bliss Herr.

Henry Literary S 061.6131 Along with other literary societies on October 20, 1926 the O. Henry Literary Club with Miss Aura Holton as advisor began its career in the Durham High School. About twenty-five members answered to the roll in this club, lts common aim with its sister and brother societies, was to give literary and oratorical training which could not be secured in any other high school course. The O. Henry Literary Club chose as its motto a quotation from the works of its name- sake: We go to seek on many roads. During the elub's fifteen regular meetings this motto was followed: for, debates, readings, talks, and recitations were all rendered. Betty Boesch, one of the club members, took part in the annual Inter-Society Debate held prior to the Triangular Debate. Witli this as well as other enterprises the O. Henry Literary Club has had a very successful year.

Southgate Literary Society was organized October 6, 1926. This name was chosen from the many submitted because of Mr. Southgate's outstanding position in all movements for the betterment of Durham. He was a great factor in the educational work of the city, being for twenty-tive years chairman of the board of trustees of Trinity College, now Duke University. He was editor of The Educator , the first magazine published in this vicinityg owner of the first bookstore: organizer of the first circulating libraryg and presi- dent of Durham's first library club, The Lyceum. The society meetings have been made very interesting through the study of the life and works of authors, through debating, recitation, and readings. This society is striving to help each member to be filled with an appreciation and an intellectual understanding of books and people.

Thisdgroup of students named their society after two living individuals, men who were extremely important in the development of the school system. The naming of an organi- zation after a living person is not a usual custom, but the society decided that it xvas a worthy thing' thus to show appreciation of the builders of today. The society devoted the majority. of the fall months to the perfection of a smooth running organization. During the spring semester the work has consisted of short debates and declamations. This work has been accomplished under the advice and guidance of our faculty advisor, Mr. Devoe Fanning.

The Lila Brogden Literary Society was first organized October Zl, 1926 with Miss Louise VVatkins as faculty advisor. The society was named for Mrs, Lila Markham Rrogden, a life-long resident, a beloved teacher for fourteen years in the High School, now president of the VVoman's Club and recently elected a member of the Board of Education. The programs during the year have been well-balanced, and have given the members 11 chance to determine in just what line they excel. The programs have consisted of debates, readings, impromptu talks, the study of operas, and the study of the lives of noted authors and their works. The members, through their society work, hope to prepare themselves to be women of greater learning, culture, and achievement.

A. stands for the highest ideals of culture and christian character which the members are striving to obtain through physical, mental, social, and spiritual growth. This year, with about twenty-five members, the club has been very active, and the activities have been a credit to the fine spirit manifested by the group in unifying motives under the able supervision of 'the club advisors: Miss Ruth Gough, Miss Kathleen Anderson, Miss Marguerite Herr, Miss Helen May, and Miss Annie Louise Soutlierland. Once each month a club supper, with a special program, stimulated the interest of the members in common social problemsg a Thanksgiving supper being one of the most suc- cessful events of the season. Each year, at a Christmas party, the girls experience a great joy in bringing happiness to the unfortunate children of the city. Civic affairs, too, have been supported. The Girl Reserves have backed and worked for the Y. VV. C. A. The money to help pay the expenses of two or more delegates to Conference, at Rockbrook Camp, Brevard, N. C., was raised by staging a club play. In May the annual Mother- Daughter banquet was given in the new Y. NV. C. A. building. Those on the executive committee were: President, Gladys Paschallg Vice-President, Ruth Hobgoodg Secretary, Mary Elizabeth Barbeeg Treasurer, Susie Turner: Chairman of Program Committee, Mary Bransong Chairman of Social Committee, Clara VVebsterg Chair- man of Service Committee, Ruth Markham. lPagc Eiglzfy-eight 1 amz.:-.., l Liu A arnuunmvn kwnvahmvm-fm my y I :.w-gq,,....,.,,, , I I Page Eiylziy-:zine 1 F' ff' C1-4 rx C N4 u,,.Ll nr I Page, Nilletsy 1 MESQMNSWZNSMPSQMEGMWMNQMNSMWMW ,V-1 '11 ,-I D-4 C U7 C Cd C U fPa e Ninety-one 1 5 1 1 v u V A 1 1 MR.

FRE1 Faculty Aldzdsol' Head Coach IQ27 Aifzlefzkf Durham High has again featured all major sports in its athletic program and has won deserved recognition for technique and sportsmanship. A All games by girls and boys were distinguished by clean playing, courtesy on the court. and excellent training. The baseball schedule was cut this year, on account of the early date of the champion- ship. The baseball season for Durham ended after the second game of the championship series. The football team carried out a well-planned schedule and made a most enviable record. The team was not heavy but it had speed and was considered one of the best in the state, going as far as the semi-finals for the Eastern North Carolina Championship. A new feature introduced last year proved very successful this year: that was inter- class basketball contests. The senior girls, who made a splendid record, were victors of the contest, the freshmen giving them a hard fight for first place. Prospects for fine work next year in girls' games are bright. For the third consecutive time the Varsity boys, The White Wliirlwind, won the State Championship in basketball and with it a trip to Chicago where they won a place in the National Tournament, the first time for the State. We are justly proud of the athletic program in our school-of the ideals upheld and the honors won-whether on the home fields or by the shores of Lake Michigan. I Page Ninety-tlufee 1 D QC .D Of cn p-I ,-I QC CO P-f O O LT-4 LT-I I H Y 1 lljage Ninety-fum' ' Football Seaman VVhen the Crimson Tide swept out on the gridiron at the beginning of the football season there was a general feeling of satisfaction among the fans that the coaches had developed a formidable team despite the light weight of 'those in line. The Henderson line up, the first opponent team to meet the Durham High School eleven, fell as a fan expressed it: I fear thy mien, thy tones, thy motions Thou need'st not fear mfnef' The weight of the Henderson team was no match for the speed, action and endurance of the plucky Durham High School eleven and the Crimson Tidf swept home with an overwhelming score, The second contest was staged against Rocky Mount at Rocky Mount. The year previous the Rocky Mount boys had beaten Durham in a gridiron contest here. The Durham eleven was out for revenge and got it by a small margin, but it proved Durham's strength. The third encounter was with Chapel Hill on home ground. The year before the battle resulted in a scoreless tie, and each team resolved to break it. Chapel Hill was unable to score at first, then repeated her score off last year, but lost by two markers before the last whistle blew. The next contest was with Sanford at Sanford, and here Durham suffered her first defeat of the' season. The speed that Durham had relied on in the previous contests failed her now. She was able to keep Sanford's score rather low, but was not able to put up an offense strong enough to win. Following the Sanford game, the Durham team was greatly weakened by the ineligibility of some of her players, and when it faced Raleigh with a marve- lous show of courage and determination it held Raleigh to six points. The game that followed the Raleigh encounter was with Oxford in the first of the championship series. Durham conquered the Uxford eleven by an enor- mous score, recording the largest score of the season. lPage Ninety-fizfel The next and last game for Durham was with Sanford. This game was forthe semi-finals of Eastern North Carolina. The same held true here. The Durham team was not strong enough to stop the Sanford eleven. By losing' this game, Durham was eliminatecl from competition for state honors. S Co res Durham ---..t 3 S llenclerson .....or. Durham .....

Bafiefball Seafwz North Carolina is so geographically situated that it is practically free from the menace of whirlwinds. But for the last three years the Old North State has been devastated in the early spring by cyclonic disturbances having their origin in Durham. This year the Tar Heel domain has experienced its third and latest visit of this phenomenon. The greatest damage has been to North Carolina bas- ketball teams. This whirlwind, known to Durham basketball fans as the Wlhite XVhirlwind, is the basketball team of the Durham High School, and champions of North Carolina for three years. This year marked the winning of the third consecu- tive basketball title by the VVhite NVhirlwind. The people of Durham have not been content to see the Vvhite VVhirlwind rest on its laurels, and each year that they won the state championship popular subscription has sent them to compete in the national basketball tournament at Chicago. This year the VVhite XVhirlwind met Roxboro in their hrst clash. The hrst game showed that Durham was well on the road to another state championship. Greensboro followed and took the same route that Roxboro had taken-defeat In rapid succession followed Danville. Raleigh, Greensboro, New Bern, Raleigh, Cary, Middleburg, Oxford, VVenclell and jamesville, and the Eastern Champion- ship was won. The following Saturday Durham, champion for the liast, and Asheville, champion for the West, clashed in the Tin Can at the University of North Carolina, and when the last whistle blew the Wfhite NVhirlwind was champion of the Qld North State. In a few days the Vklhite NVhirlwind was on its way to represent Durham and North Carolina for the third consecutive time in the Chicago National Tourna- ment. The NVhirlwind lost its initial game to the strong Pocatello. Idaho, -quint and dropped into the Consolation Tournament. Here it won fourth place, a record never made by a North Carolina team, The XYhite Vvliirlwind has set a pace hard to follow.

Wlieii a man succeeds in the world, he often remarks that he owes it all to his mother. VVhen he fell, she raised him upg when he was despon- dent, she cheered himg and when he succeeded she shared his joy. So it has been with our loyal cheer leaders. They have in a sense been the inspira- o tion of the teams. If they were losing, the yells from this plucky trio warmed their hearts and spurred them on to victory. If they were winning they knew that those cheers meant keep it up, we're with you! Thus they have shared in rise and fall, victory and defeat. So much of the game depends on the support of the students that we fear our victories would have been less without the loyal support of these three. Accordingly let the voice of D. H. S. ring in appreciation of their faithfulness. lPc1gc' Om? Hundred 01161 BASEBALL SQUAD THE lPuge Om? Hundred Twoj Bazfebzzll The Durham High Baseball team was handicapped from the start. Most of the well-trained athletes were in Chicago, and the schedule was cut to four games with outside schools. Durham won the first game by a forfeited score from Cary, l to O. In the second game Durham fell before the onslaught of Sanford, 5 to l. The third game was a victory for Durham by an overwhelming score against Roxboro, 10 to 2. This was the first game of the championship series besides being Durham's first victory. In the next game Durham was eliminated from the state running by Oxford, 6 to O. The Durham lads played a return game with Roxboro and Non 14 to 2. The interest in practice. the spirit of the players, and the promising material bids fair to give North Carolina an excellent baseball team in Durham uniforms next year.
