In its pages they have attempted to pictnre the student as he is seen thronghont the year by his fellows, not only in the lec- tnre-room and laboratory, but also in the many extra curricular activities, both liter- ary and physical. They have also endeav- ored to show the progress and growth in efficiency which this high school has made in the last year, of which the stndents are jnstly prond. . They hope, dear reader, that this annnal will not only live np to expectations as a pictnre of the life in Dnrham High, bnt that it will also increase the pride and in- terest of the commnnity at large in the jinest high school in the Old North State.

Lillian, in her wee small voice, pipes up with such witty things that we can only laugh and wonder how she thinks of them. She tells us that she' works, but we wonder how anybody as pretty 'as she. is, could have time for it. We have heard that New Jersey has an uncanny fascination for Lillian, and when we asked her about it, she only re- plied, that she Newsom boy there. HUGH QUINCY ALEXANDER ALEX By the work one knows the 'workmanf' Monogram Club 45 Blackwell Literary Society 45 Dra- matic Club 45 Basketball 45 Athletic Association 45 Stunt Cast 45 Home Room 6A35 Chaplain 4. Hugh came to us from West Durham at the beginning of this year. He came in a whirlwind and made good in a White Whirlwind. He has been with us long enough to be outstanding in his literary society and on our basket- ball team. Hugh says he is quiet, but he made himself one of the big noises by Spreading the News. Possibly it was his first offense and neighbors excused him from censure. Earnest and interested, Alexander has more worlds to conquer. RUTH ADAMS A smile for all, a greeting glad A friendly, jolly way she had. Girls' Club 4. Ruth says little, but that isn't a sign that she doesn't work. For proof one only has to watch her in the library as she busily proves all of Mr. Euclid's theorems dur- ing time when most of us are reading Andy Gump, Etta Kettf' or the sports page of the newspapers. Don't think that she doesrft enjoy other things too-just ask her how well she likes to talk. JAMES LEXIE ADAMS UIIMMIEH Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry. Co-operative Class 3, 45 Commercial Club 45 Athletic Association 3, 45 Stunt Cast 45 Co-op Minstrel 45 Hi-Y 2, 35 Glee Club Z, 3 Jimmie Adams is a perfect example of the cheerful man -hence loathed melancholy and all the other gods of grief and sadness must find some apter subject to rob of happi- ness. We know of but one thing that disturbs him-the smile and gaze of a number of the fairer sex. Beneath this light cheerful exterior we find an earnestness anrl sincerity which makes him a good friend. LENNA MAE BRooKs UYORKIEU There's rosemary, that's for remembrance-and there are pansies, that's fo-r thoughts. Commercial Club 3, 45 Girls' Club 3, 45 Hi-Rocket 45 Girls' Basketball, Home Room Manager 3, 45 Coroso Play- ers 45 Home Room, 6A4, Marshall5 May Queen's Court 2. Lenna Mae-Be what? She may be anything she wishes, from Hooverss secretary on downg but we know what she is already-a pretty, gentle, young lady, although she was a high spirited grandmother in the Commercial Club play. She is studying bookkeeping'-but surely not for a busi- ness life? You know, bookkeeping is an asset in making a house a home. ROBERT CLARK Arwooo HBOBYI The wisest man could ask no more of Fate ,Than to be simple, modest, manly, true. Baseball 3, 45 Thomas A.

Bobbie has very little trouble in making friends-all he has to do is grin, and people say, Welcome into our hearts, Bobbief' He very seldom says anything, but when he does speak there is enough said and done. Some of us suspect that Bobbie likes the girls although we haven't very much direct evidence of this fact. We feel sure that this tall fellow, who always looks as if he were laughing up his sleeve, has a bright future ahead of him. E261 biidbiiritiiidisgtriiiitriisiiriisiiritsitriisitriisitri FRANCIS ELIZABETH COUNCIL HALI Her blue eyes sought the west afar, For lovers love the western star. Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 45 Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Athena Literary Society 45 Stunt Cast 45 Girls' Reserves 25 Queen's Court Z, 3. Francis is a lovely girl with a mass of blonde hair and eyes of deepest blue. Francis, it seems, is always associ- ated with old rose and lavender. Perhaps she should have lived in Civil War days--anyway, she certainly would have added to the picture of the demure miss in the old fash- ioned hoop skirts standing under an apple tree, loaded with blossoms, waiting for-well, who knows? ' CHARLOTTE CORBIN CHARLIE Diligence is the mother of good fortune. Girls' Club 45 Cornelia Spencer Literary Society 45 Home koom, Chairman of Program Committee 4. Here's ar wise girl for you! She left Chapel Hill and came to Durham High. Charlotte has a very optimistic disposition in spite ot the fact that she is taking two Eng- lish courses under-O well, is it best to tell names and tales, too? Charlotte is also a regular Math shark! After leaving high school she intends to specialize in that sub- ject. From all known indications Einstein will have to work to keep his crown from being stolen by Charlotte. ' SIDNEY LINGLE BOWDEN uSIDn A man may be in good spirits and good temper when hc's well groomed. There's much credit in that. Athletic Association 45 French Club 45 Hi-Y Club 3, 45 Messenger Statf, Assistant Business Manager 45 Home Room Vice-president 45 Senior Play 4. Sidney with his boyish manner and thoughtful mind is a regular fellow. His rosy cheeks and fair complexion are the envy of the weaker sex. He certainly would make Billie Dove take a back seat if 'he endorsed such ads as Lux Toilet Soap and Elizabeth Arden rouge. How will Miss Herr get along without our Sidney to answer office calls with full and well garnished reports? How we are going to miss his yards and yards of smiles and the good fellowship of Bobbie ! HELEN KENDRICK CARD LITTLE BIT The rnildest manners, and the gentlest heart. Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 45 Cornelia Spencer Literary Society 1, 2, 3, 45 Marshall 25 Chaplain 35 Critic 45 President 45 Dramatic Club 3, 45 President 45 Play Cast 45 Stunt Cast 45 Poster Club 45 Messenger Staff 45 Home Room Secretary 4. No, guess again! Why, of course, Helen is our second Ethel Barrymore with equal charm, talent, and personality which the famous stage star possesses. She will never tind herself unprepared in the rain because she truly lets a smile be her umbrella which she carries with her always. As president of the Dramatic Club, she has proved her ability to lead. LILLIAN ELIZABETH COOKE HLILYY Who envies none that chance both raise. Commercial Club 45 Girls' Club 3, 4. Lillian hasn't been with us so very long, but it has been long enough so that it wouldn't seem natural around here without her. LiIlian's quiet charm is her greatest asset, and by her manner one would think that she is as meek as a lamb, but when you know her, she is a jolly-good timer and knows how to take a joke! Her answers in class are surprising and she can certainly give you a good Come-back. So long, Lillian, we are wishing you the best o' luck. JOHN CHESTER BERRY BUCK None but himself can be his parallel. Messenger Staff 45 Advertising Staff 45 Toms-Carmichael Literary Society 3, 45 Golf Team 3, 45 Commercial Club 35 Hi-Y 35 Athletic Association 2, 3, 45 Home Room Oticer, President 45 Marshal 4. Plus four's, an orange sweater, and a nonchalant air5 that's BuCk. Buck has an eye for business, in fact, none ever escapes it. He is the kind of person who can take solid geometry just for the pleasure it affords him. Maybe that is the difference between him and the rest of the world. Chester has acquired the art of hard study for he wants to know what the world 'has to offer to a busi- ness man in the making.

Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Athletic Association 43 Lila Brug- den Literary Society 43 Commercial Club 2, 3, 43 Presi- dent Girls' Unit 45 Messenger Staff 4g Typist. This little Christmas has plenty of Santa Clauses be- cause everyone likes her. Her piquant wit makes her a sought after young lady. The unusual thing about her is that she is just as popular among girls as among boys. When we say farewell to her, we wish to the world a very Merry Christmas. THOMAS E. BEARD KKTOMVY Here the heart May girfe a useful lesson to the head And learning wiser grow without his books. Co-op Class Chaplain 45 Football 13 Track 13 Hi-Y 39 Co-op Plays 3, 43 Stunt Night 43 Athletic Assocation 1, 2, 3, 43 Co-op Minstrel 4. Thomas is one of our old regular co-ops. He is very industrious and business-like, both inside and outside of school. Though he finds difficulty in parler-ing le fran- cais, he doesn't mind school at all-in fact he rather enjoys it. He believes that judges should all be merciful, but acting as one he bribed the jury to render a verdict of not guilty. Why? Because he wanted to help eat the turkey that Rastus stole. HAZEL COCKMAN Hazel was ready ere I called her name And though I called another, Hazel came. Girls' Club 3, 45 French Club 43 Stunt Cast 4. Of course, it seems impertinent to say so, but Hazel's only weakness seems to be talking in the library when Mrs. Stackhouse turns her back-what of, we know not. But, suffice it to say that Hazel is law-abiding despite her love of prohibited conversation, and, after all, isn't that just like women? CLAIBORNE BYRD Wise to resolve and patient to perform. Co-op Class 43 Athletic Assocation 1, 2, 3, 43 Co-op Min- strel 4. Once more he attains the rank of Senior, this time to stay until the very end, we hope, for we don't know what we would do without his cheery smile. Claiborne has quite the reputation of revelling in harmless argumenta- tion-right or wrong, regardless. By the way, this is the black face whose lingers itched for a nice, plump. turkey. Of course, we are sure that he's innocent of ever letting his desires run away with him. HELEN FONTELLE. COZART EoN'rE,' The wicked are conquered by persistent kindness. Lila Brogden Literary Society 3, 43 Dramatic Club 3, 43 Blue Triangle 2, 35 Girls' Basketball Team 2, 3, 45 Girls' Glee Club 2, 33 Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Home Room Sec- retary 4. Thoughts of Fontelle mean to us thoughts of steady blue eyes and an unbreakable poise. She is calmly persistent in doing what she is asked to dog and though never rude, she is sweetly determined to do what seems right. Some- times she's quiet, but she has lots of gay moods, Tew. WINFORD FRANKLIN BOFBITT HBOBBIEU The style is the man himself. Athletic Association 43 Home Room 6A13 Program Com- mittee 4g Glee Club 43 Orchestra 4. Here is one of our coming musicians! He certaintly does shake a wicked tiddle in the orchestra of Durham High. We would not advise any one to go into the barber trade if Winford were to be the chief customer. Why? Simply because all his hair will soon be gone if he studies any harder over English. Besides warbling with the Glee Club, he can make up programs for session room which, to say the least, are entertaining. E28l NWQWSMWMWMWMWMNMWMWM INA LEE COLLINS ! HSI-,IMD 3 Quiet as a nun But ready for fun. Dramatic Club 4, Girls' Club 3, 45 Cornelia Spencer Lit- erary Society 3. 4: French Club 4, Stunt Cast 4.- Apparently absorbed in her own world, Ina Lee never gets excited over anything. Though indilferent to most things, the good things of life always come to her. We are inclined to think that the reason for this is l1er un- usual combination of sympathetic understanding and naive charm. BIALISSA OZELLE CANNADAY ' isMOCyy Whate'er she did was done with .ro much case, I dare do all that does become a man. Girls' Club 1, Z, 3, 41 Lila Brogden Literary Society 45 Glee Club 1, 25 Commercial Club 3: Athletic Association 4, One of 0zelle's timid whispers is worth a million bois- terous shouts. She manages to pack a load of meaning in her few-and-far-between sentences. Even though we hear she doesn't es ecially love to study, she certainly gets the best out 0? it. And although she seems to be quite timid-you never can tell about these quiet folks! We prophesy when Prince Charming asks, the answer will be clearly understood. AUBREY CHEEK r I dare do all that does become a man. Football 3, Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 49 Vice-president of Co-op Class 4g Coroso Players 4g Co-op Minstrel 4. Here we have Aubrey, another one of our most amiable boys who is to be Held secretary for the Co-ops in intru- ducing Shakespeare to the modern world. Not satishcd with being a fighting center for the Crimson Tide, he also helped the Coroso Players win laurels. Aubrey has been anbasset to the school just because he gave himself to the Jo . FLORENCE WATSON CRUTCHFIELD ' UPAT!! The only reward of virtue is virtue, the only way to have a friend is to be one. Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 45 Lila Brogden Literary Society 3, 4, Hi-Rocket lg Blue Triangle 1, 2, Dramatic Club 3, Glee Club 1. Florence is one of that romantic type still living in this age of restraint who is willing to try anything once. Thankful we are, that at least one in our midst has that never die spirit Qeven in Frenchj. Florence with her perseverance may reach the top o' the ladder by a path' way yet untried, the cottage neat where larks sing and the twisted Woodbine twines, with an M.R.S. degree. ALICE CUTHRELL True worth is in being, not seeming. Girls' Club 2, 3, 43 James H. Southgate Literary Society 2, 3, 4. Alice is very quiet seldom expressing her own opinion because she is a good listener. Shy and demure in class, she is as noisy outside as Leonard Lewis broadcasting of- fice announcements. She is industrious, ambitious, and loyalg and she has good promise for a bright future. Alice sa s she wants to go to college and we hope she will make Y a fine record, one as thrilling as the other Alice in Won- , derland. STOUGH B. GANTT USTEWU Ready.to help at any time A typical lad, strong and ine. Julian S. Carr Literary Society 23 Stunt Cast 43 Com- mercial Club 2, 45 Hi+Y 43 Athletic Association 23 Home Room Otlicer 2. If you ever need the services of a truly competent and energetic person-one who can make two high school years in one and still keep an assembled complexion-just call Stough. But don't get the impression that he always has an eye for businessg that is, as concerns the generally accepted meaning of the word. Surely you've heard the adage that the best way to approach a person on an im- portant matter.is to give him something to eat. Well, with the experience Stough's had in the cafeteria, aren't you wondering if he will use that method to cover his weakness when his supreme moment arrives? E291 NSMNWSNGMKSMESQMNSMNSWSNSMNSMESSM LUCILE BYRD DRAUGHON KALUKE!! Messenger Staff 45 Cornelia Spencer Literary Society 3, 45 Chaplain 35 Vice-President 45 Dramatic Club 45 Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Home Room Critic 4. Lucile is very studious and employs time which most of us idle away. She has been able to mingle with many students and take part in much outside work, and at the same time make grades which put shame on most of us. As a friend, Lucile is depeadable and trustworthyg as a student capable and painstaking. She is the type of school citizen that makes the school community radiate stre.ngth. JOHN LELAND GARR1soN HCHIEFU Red hair has 'It' Arid it has red hair. Athletic Association 3, 45 Messenger Staff 4. Red-haired, 'n everything! Leland may not be a ladies' man, but, my! how he. can harmonize! Things aren't what they seem, always, and really, you'd be surprised at the naughty things he does. His favorite weakness is writing poems fur Shakespeare notebooks, but he will get over that. As a poet, Leland has been a grand wash- woman, but why judge the future by the past? Every one outgrows his childish ways, sometimes, but, mercy, suppose he shouldn't? MAE BELL DRAUGHON BELL If eyes 'zvcvc made for seeing Then beauty is its only rxrciue for being. O. Henry Literary Society 3, 45 Dramatic Club 3, 45 Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Queen's Court 2. A distinctive feminine type is Mae Bell. Her calm, easy-going ways and rare endowment of beauty make for her a striking personality. We marvel at the ease with which she has made such good grades. Her aloofness is indicative of life in a world of beauty, in the kingdom of the mind, where she hides from day's garish eye. She has the elusive charm that belongs to the belle of the 60's. HUGO GERMINO HHUG-O!! His very foot has music in it As he come: up the .rtair.r. Toms-Carmichael Literary Society 45 Athletic Association 3, 45 Commercial Club 45 Stunt Cast 45 Band 3, 45 As- sistant Leader 3. 45 Orchestra 3, 45 Assistant Leader 45 Wrestling 45 Golf 4. Hugo like the minstrels of old, can sing a song. dance ' a jig, or blow a bugle and hold an audience spell-bound while doing it. His ever-ready excuses never fail to pull him out of the narrow places in which he frequently finds himself. Hugo always looks on the bright side and with his optimistic nature and his groaning saxophone he has won his way into many hearts in D. H. S. Lois TULLOCKE EMORY HLO-Lon I Girls' Club 3, 4. Lois, one of our Seniors who joined us in September, has learned to keep her own counsel. Even though she doesn't voice her wants, she gets her purpose accom plished just the same. She knows she likes D. H. S. for after an absence of a few weeks she returned to see that Christine Umstead didn't grow thinner through doing nothirg, and that Jessie Murray didn't die from overwork. NATHANI L ALEXANDER GREGORY nNATu Born for success he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold With .vhinino gifts that took all eyes. Messenger 2, 3, 45 Editor-in-chief 45 Student Body Vice- president 45 Blackwell Literary Society 1, 2, 3, 45 Presi- dent 45 Dramatic Club 45 Hi-Y 1. 2, 3, 45 French Club 45 Senior Plav 45 Athletic Association 2. 3. 4. Although Nat was christened Nathaniel Alexander Greg- ory, he has overcome this early handicap and become an extremely likeable chap. He is our most diplomatic mem- ber, and by his tact and power of persuasion, has suc- ceeded in getting almost anv one to see things from his point of view. He is very dependable and will always do his best to help make anything a success. Of course, it is hardly necessary 'to mention that Nat is the perfect lover on the stage, and has proved very fatal to the fairer sex because of this accomplishment.

What would cookies be without spice and ginger? Well then, how would D. H. S. function minus Kat and all her pep? She is every inch footloose Cfor the present at leastl in spite of her numerous love affairs. We hear rumors of another. Who knows? Wonder what Fate holds in store for Kat and her care-free ways? ANNIE Lois Fosrrn HTINYU A brown-eyed Susan, shy as a violet. Girls' Club 3, 43 James H.

Presenting Handsome Hayes, the Beau Brummel off D. H. S.! But far from being an idle beau, Felton vig- orously exerts himself in basketball, baseball, and fancy dancing.

Girls' Club 3, 43 Glee. Club 43 Choir School 4, Josephine, the little girl with long curls and blue eyes, is a quiet member nf the high school3 that is, when she is not singing. Interested in athletics and music, she is a tiny but important cog in the great machine of high school accomplishment.

Marjorie is the one who starts the Hi-Rocket on its flight over the school every two weeks, and who keeps the Girls' Club finances straight. She is one of the chosen basket- ball players who made the varsity. She never fails to win a place on the coveted honor roll in studies. And still-she's not conceited! Her eyes twinkle iust as mer- rily as if she were a carefree freshman. We all count her friendship ours, but she, herself, seems partial to stage managers.

Blackwell Literary Society 2, 3, 43 Treasurer 43 President 43 Vice-President 43 Commercial Club 3, 43 Athletic Asso- ciation 43 Messenger 43 Declamation 3, 4. Tall and slender, with a distinguished bearing and a grave aloof manner, David Jaffe rather reminds one of a prince of the blood and he is a prince of a fellow. He is an excellent student, and shows promise as a public speaker. He is thoroughly dependable, ne.ver pretends to know whatkhe does not, and never lets go until he has mastered a tas . lWARGARET LEE HARRIS HDINK77 Neat, not gaudy! Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 43 French Club 43 Dramatic Club 43 Lila Brogden Literary Society 2, 3, 43 Secretary 43 Stunt Cast 43 Home Room Critic 4. This little miss is very fun-loving and jolly. Many times we have seen her trying to suppress a laugh during class. and when we later asked what the. fun was, she would tell us that something had reminded her of a joke she had heard a long time ago. But, she's English, don't you know! If silence is golden-well. Margaret should be a millionaire because she says little but gives the impression of knowing much. If her greatest desire is to teach school, there is no need for us to wish her success be cause it will surely be hers. VERNON JoHNsoN HAL JOLSONH Go where glory waits thee!

Here we have the Al Jolson of the Co-op Class. He has been singing Mammy and Sonny Boy ever since the Vitaphone was made famous by Warner Brothers. He even became so serious as to join the Gle.e Club-pity the club! Vernon is quite a dramatist, having made his debut with the Community Players. He's quite an actor, too, and miraculously grew a beard in five minutes which some men have been years in acquiring. Anyway, Vernon is one of our loyal co-ops who stands by his name and repn+ tation in every school activity that needs his help. MARY ALBERT HICKS Quiet as a mouse she make: her 'way Pleasant and friendly, and always gay. Cornelia Spencer Literary Society 3, 43 Girls' Club 1, Z, 3, 43 Home Room Secretary 4. Mary Albert does not thrust herse.lf into the limelight of our student activities, but she quietly and elhciently helps to make things run smooth behind the scene. For proof, one nee.d only look at her grades which are a mute testimony of work well done. Thorough and practical, she is the type of person who is included in every strong or- ganization. Besides this, she is an ideal senior and deiight- ful friend to those who are so fortunate as to know her.

Walters is another one of Durham High's diplomats. He is one of our most outstanding Hi-Y members, and he should be an overwhelming success as a boys' worker, fol- lowing in the footsteos of the honorable Arnold Eugene Jenny. Though we wish to have him go on. we hate to see him leave, for how can we ever get the right six boys to till his place?

Ruth has charm-in quantities! Really, it's not fair for one person to have so much. She climbed into some- one's heart, and found-guess what? Yes, a diamond ring. Ruth has climbed into our hearts too, without even trying, and we hope she is satisfied with what she found there. NORAH VIRGINIA KERSEY SKMONAU And grace that won all who saw, to wish her stay.

They say that red-headed people have fiery ternpers but in this case it is not true for Norah. besides being very thoughtful of others, has an unusually sweet disposition. This little red-head can just dance like a nymph, cook like a chef, and never is found wanting in preparation for class. She came to Durham High from Virginia, and we are all glad that she did. With tremendous obstacles ahead she got busy and won. CHARLES FRANKLIN KNOTT CHARLIE A boy's -will :lv the u'ind's wal, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thougthsf' Hi-Y I, 2, 3, 45 julian S.

Charlie is quite a Barrymore, an idol among the fairer sex. He is also one of our budding architects, and we know that he will some day plan a great theater in which he will give his voice to the worldg and better yet, he will build a little home in the hills where he will test it out on a fair lady of his dreams.

Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 4g Chairman of Social Committee 45 Lila Brogden Literary Society 3, 4: Vice-president 39 French Club, Treasurer 45 Dramatic Club 49 Messenger Staff 4: Assistant Literary Editor 4. Margaret Henry was just born smart, but she never took chances. She added hard and conscientious study to her native aptitude and results have been gratifying. She can play a piano so that Orpheus heaves his head to listen. However, doing her work well is not by any means her onlv interest. Although she hardly ever fails to make A's on her her studies, she also likes B's. After leav- ing D. H.

Made-line's quiet, unassuming manner is indeed an in- spiration to all of us. If we could only borrow a little of her dignity and wit for a little while, how we could use it! We know her as a good all-round, sport girl. She is very enthusiastic and is a hearty supporter in all of the school's activities.

He has never shown anv insatiable craving for the limelight. but he has more than upheld the scholastic standing of his class, as his monopoly on f'A's will testify.

Anne Lib is the best of friends, the same today and for- ever. She is the shining exception to the rule that a conscientious student is never jolly. If it's true that laughing makes one fat, Anne Lib should be a wee bit plump. She is striving to remedy the said plumpness by being an active member of the Orange Juice Quartet. Her love affairs are numerous and have a crushing ' effect. We wonder-are the oranges responsible for the cri:shes ?

Ralph is a very determined fellow who gives the im- pression of being easy-going. He is quite musical, he can sing,' can play in the band, and whistle when alone. Ralph is taking a commercial course and hopes some day to become able to finance a reunion of 1929, and manage the affair as capably as he did The Village Band. MARTHA O,HAGAN MASON .

With us she is not the Patsy whom everyone hides in a corner, but a lovely Patsy whom we bring forth on all occasions. From that name of hers we suspect that she is Irish and her blue eyes confirm our suspicions. It is whispered that the Lila Brogden Society would not be half so well pinned-up if it were not for Patsy, for to her fell the tasks of putting the symbols of membership on the members. Being one of the preferred type gives Patsy a crushing advantage over the rest of the young ladies. LEONARD LEWIS SUNNY Speech is silver! silence ir golden. Walter Hines Page Literary Society 2, 3, 45 Band 45 Ath- letic Assocation 45 Stunt Cast 4. Leonard possesses a keen mind which makes him an ex- cellent student, and lovely which makes him distinctive. He is very reserved and it is only after close acquaintance that one loses the impression that he is quiet and un- friendly. Leonard is a very likeable chap who surprised all by his clever imitations of Dimpled Marjorie. MARIAN GRAHAM MCCRACKEN Of all the girl: that are so smart Therelr none like popular Marian.

Maid Marian who charmed Robin Hood had nothing on our Marian who has charmed us all. From contact with her on the Hi-Rocket staff. literary societies, and numerous other activities in which she participates, eve.ryone has ob- tained the true personification of friendship. There's noth- ing that she doesn't try-and make a success of! Never did that song mean sn much as when vwfe say to Marian, We could not do without you. SAMUEL E.

Nancy's personality is as soothing and fragrant as a lotus Hower. From China, where she has spent most of her life, she seems to bring an old world dreaminess. Con- trary to expectations, Nancy is quite the American irl here and has proved a capable basket-ball manager and a talented writer on the Hi-Rocket staff. Yet the rush of high school life leaves her calm, sweet poise untouched. - ELIZABETH ANN MosELEv . MLIBH Then she will talk-ye god.rl how she will talk. Cornelia Spencer Literary Society 3, 45 Athletic Associ- ation 3, 4: Girls' Club 3, 43 Blue Triangle 43 Dramatic Club 45 Coroso Players 4: Girls' Basketball 4, Commer- cial Club 4. Oh dear, I didn't mean to talk so much, but I'm just made that way! That's Chatterbox iirst last, and maybe always. Elizabeth ets a big kick out of talking, if only to cause Mrs. Stackhouse to give her a smile. Listen now, though her little tongue chatters when her big brain rattles, the Cornelia Spencer Literary Society programs never suffer from attention of the program chairman. ROBERT MALONE HBOBH Of every noble work the silent past is best. Athletic Assocation 4. Here we come with trumpet and drums to announce Robert Malone Kbecause he won't blow his own hornj as the champion shock absorber of the Senior Class. Though the clocks of time should turn backward and the earth reverse its rotation, Robert would maintain his poise and preserve his silence intact. However, when he is in Eng- ish class, you should see the coy glances, and shy looks, and, eventually, rosy blushes which he showers upon the girls around him. CLARA ELIZABETH MURRAY UNOSEYU A winsome, 'wee thing. Girls' Club 2. 3, 43 Lila Brogden Literary Society 2, 3, 4: Girls' Basketball Team 2. Clara is just a little whirlwind in herself. No doubt you have already learned this by not only noticing her actions on the basketball court, but also her breezing about the school. If she is not up to some mischief or trying to answer a question in Miss Herr's English class, she is burying her head in one of her dearest possessions, French C'l1ardenal -a very appreciated gift with which she kindly associates the name of Mlle.

He welcomes work as opportunity and supplies patience, perseverance and industry. He possesses a helpful happy spirit, a reserved and courteous manner and a smile that wins and holds. His attitude is the type that teachers pray for and employers pay for. As the leader of the C - h ' E351 oops, e is unsurpassed.

An ideal student! At last,-, here is one we may so prop- erly characterize as excellent in all things, whether it be in math, English, French, athletics, or any other phase of high school activities. The numerous honors she has won proclaim her a student and outstanding leader, worthy as she is beloved. But, above all, Dorothy is a true friend, a comrade of the highest type.

If there is anything that Sam likes, it is teaching a class9 and if there is anything that he likes more than that, it is teaching two. Here's hoping that he gets his share when he joins the faculty of D. H. S. in 1940! Following the example of Woodrow Wilson, Sam hoses to become the Hon.

Here is a girl who really thinks, and follows her own convictions. Beth prefers cotton and tobacco and sunny skies, to wheat and ice and snow', so she chose Durham to dwell in. It is said that travel broadens one, so Beth has decided to go around the world. With her soft voice, charming manner and frank expression she will have little trouble in converting Orientals to admire her as we do. WILLIAM S. MARKHAM, JR.

Buttercup aspires to be the private secretary to some great man --as she terms it. We all know Buttercup for her Hsunshinefafter-the-rain smile. You will find through observation that she smiles practically nine-tenths of the time. Buttercup is Johnny-on-the-spot to cheer you up and when she's around you think that life is worthwhile.

Lib is beautiful but-anything but dumb! She daily is able to get to the lunch line first without any serious disregard of tratlic rules. On the basketball Hoor she is usually alert and has accounted for many a championship by her fast playing. In fact, Lib is old enough, pretty enough, and has sense enough to get along in the world without the aid of anyone although several of the stronger sex would like to be her publicity agent.

Frank may be little, and is, but he gets there ahead of everybody else-and this is verified by his honor roll rec- ord and his reputation as a sprinter. Frank is, all the time, amusing his classmates with his little horse laugh, which he executes divinely. It would take three people to do as much work as Frank does on the Hi-Rocket StaFf alone not counting all other activities in which he partici- pates. He rolls everything from his r's in French to his athletic sox, and he surely knows how. SAMMY HAZEL PRICE ttB0oTS!7 She'.s all my fancy painted her.

Children should be seen and not heard, but never Bennie-at least, she doesn't think so for she is a second Bunker Hill, Junior. Yes, Bennie is our baby, but she'll be a success in this hard, cruel world5 that is, if she will ever grow up. Shining in the bright lights of dramatic fame as well as being active in literary society work, she has also gained renown as a heart breaker among certain members of the stronger sex. She has the distinction of being suitably dressed always, and we're justly proud of our youngest. WILLIAM J. O'BRIEN, JR.

Another business man in the makin is Bill, although he says electrical engineering is the life ibr him. He is small of stature, but there is nothing small about his brain, heart, or ever-ready spirit. He is such a live wire him- self that it is natural for him to take an interest in elec- tricity.

Bill is our living example of that old maxim, Laugh and grow fat, for wherever he goes he packs a smile that is matched only by weight. It is too bad that he was not in our football line, but we are partly consoled by the fact that he was doing his share for athletics from a position on the Hi-Rocket and Messenger Staffs. He has proved his reliability by never missing a game. NANCY ROBERSON The reason firm, the temperate will,' Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.

In extra activities she has been awarded as a result of her popularity, fluency and abiligy, the highest ofhce-and the most responsible-in the gi t of the pupils-that of President of the Student Body.

Zalph will some day be a great zo-ologist judging from his ability to dissect bedbugs and mice. They chased him into the literary world and gained him a prize as well. He's quite a prophet too, if one judges by his experience in prophesying the future of the illustrious Class of '29. Zalph has ideas and dares defend them to ward off serious labor along uncongenial lines. His pen has proven mightier than his sword.

E441 ?S5?z4?sf?W?Si?z5?yf?z4?s5?r4ESi?zf?yi?z4?yi5?v2?yf?Mhi5?z4 Qlass History of 'zo The task of writing the history of the Class of 1929 had fallen to me, and I was at a loss to know how I should present it. Thinking of this matter as I stood in the laboratory, dissecting a butterfly, my thoughts turned from the class history to the creature I was anatomizing. What a marvelous career it had had! First it was an egg, then, a caterpillar, later, a cocoon, and finally, a gorgeous butterfly. It had passed through four stages, a great change taking place each time. Sud- denly I was struck by the remarkable similarity between the history of my class and the history of the butterfly's metamorphosis. As a result of this similarity, I decided in unfolding the class history, to compare it to the evolution of a butterfly. But as all metaphors lose their force 'beyond a certain point, I trust, gentle reader, that you will fill in gaps with your imagination. One bright September day, four years ago, a nest of eggs-the embryonic class of 1929-was found hidden among the leaves of the Alma Mater tree in the garden of D. H. S. So insignificant and colorless were these eggs that their presence was hardly known, yet, the faculty gardeners tended them carefully, and saw to it that they received plenty of sunshine and protection from the enemies of healthy growth. The members of the little group were so similar in appearance and so small in size that it was hard to distinguish one from another. Gccasionally, however, some egg would show exceptional expansion. At the end of nine months, these eggs had developed internally until they were strong enough to burst their shells, and to emerge into a new world, full of sunshine and hope. Now the larvae, having broken the shells of the eggs, began to feed raven- ously on all the leaves of the tree of knowledge. The newness of the place and the tender age of the larvae kept the little creatures huddled together around a huge caterpillar, Albert Edwards. In the atmosphere of encouragement, warm from the winds of kindly interest, 'they grew large, and in nine months were ready to wind themselves into cocoons. The next stage began with much activity, as the caterpillars, well fed and de- veloped, began to spin the cocoons. One small but active spinner, William O'Brien, held the members together on the Junior tree. Some of these received special attention as prize winners in declamation contestsg Nathaniel Gregory, carried to Wake Forest and Guilford Colleges, won two medalsg Helen Card and David Jaffe, at home in the Woman's Declamation contest each took one. Jacob Levin, at the University of North Carolina, was acknowledged second best spinner in Latin in a state-wide contest of spinners in the high school field. just before they fell asleep in their junior cradles, they had a great display of spinning for fun before the famous family of '28, preceding the last flight of that distinguished group from the garden of D. H. S. The setting was a fairyland, brilliantly colorful as the rainbow hued butterflies that had been tempted to come. Poised and pleased, they Watched the last demonstration of Junior cleverness for their entertainment. The lights faded, the cocoons were closed and sealed to await the coming of a new day. After three months of sleep and of swaying in the gentle breezes of vacation time, the cocoons burst open one morning in September and the air was alive with E451 gorgeously hued butterflies Hitting about gracefully, trying to grow accustomed to the Senior stage in which they found themselves. At a signal from the watching gardeners all began to settle down to the task of gathering for the future what had been left untouched, and radiantly happy the days in the garden flew. After much fluttering about with whirring of wings, an especially popular butterfly, Beverly Rose, was chosen leader of the group. From the garden two were selected as student leaders for the whole bevy, Nancy Roberson and Nathaniel Gregory, to keep close the four classes in the various stages of development that the gardeners were in charge of. Great excitement reigned when the first recog- nition came for work well done, and on the museum roll of honor these names appeared at various times: Frank Moore, Dorothy Newsom, Marian McCracken. Myrtice Ward, W. J. O'Brien, jr., Margaret King, Lucile Draughon, Marjorie Glasson, Annie Markham, Eugene Williams, Helen Strowd. The garden buzzed again when Marjorie Glasson, leader of a bevy known as the Hi-Rocket Staff, displayed a gold medal won at the national meet of The Columbia Scholastic Press Association. From another corner, Lois Foster soared with first, and Marian McCracken and Helen Strowd, with third and fourth, honors in a state-wide Latin contest. David Jaffe gathered for himself a gold medal in the declamation con- test in the Wake Forest College garden, and Helen Card found one waiting at Guilford College in the heart of a recitation contest flower. Then Eugene Williams and Worth Perry each startled the science gardeners by winning second place in a state contest in chemistry. Ere half the year had gone, suddenly a bevy at the will of the gardeners, flew away to college gardens for food to continue their growth. It was the regular Mid-year flight. To vary the routine and to add zest to the passing days, a gay company, Marian Sneed, Emmett Shackelford, Helen Card, john Smith, Zalph Rochelle, Marjorie Glasson, Helen Strowd, Marian McCracken, Sidney Bowden, and Nat Gregory presented Clarence to the other butterflies. Soon after the brilliant assemblage. at the call of the butterflies-to-be, the junior family, whirled and flitted about in the glow of the soft lights in a secluded part of the garden, the gym. When the skies grew soft, and the air balmy, the Queen of the May, Elizabeth Pollard, called two butterflies, court beauties, Dorothy Newsom and Marian McCracken, to attend her at the revels, when she welcomed Summer into the garden. Then a certain uneasiness began to be noticed among the butterflies. Red letter days were at hand. The mad whirl of work and play slackened, and poised and tense, the gardenersakept at work, soothing the weary, comforting the fearful, and strengthening the weak during a storm known as finals that threatened the lives of the tender insects. Departure was imminent. Calls had come from the world of opportunity be- yond the Durham High garden, and the whole bevy answered. The butterflies flitted about nervously. In preparation for the flight, the brilliant wings were folded under gay casing, caps and gowns. Then the bevy reluctantly rose away into the blue followed by the blessings of the watchers in the hushed garden of D. H. S. below. DAVID JAFFE, MYRTICE WARD. E461 The fPropl1ecy of the Glass of IQZQ My partner was dead to begin with. There was no doubt about that for per- sonally I had superintended the funeral and had seen him lowered into the cold, cruel ground to rest with the bones of his father until Gabriel called. I had lived the nine years following his death in solitude, and let our prosper- ous business slip gradually through my butter-like fingers, until on the crucial night of February 2, 1955, I found myself approaching the hovel in the bowery that represented home. As I crept up the rotting stairs. it seemed that his face rode just a few feet before me. Shaking my head to drive this fantasy from my weary brain, and deciding that the vision was probably the etfect of the stale bread and mouldy meat that I had dined on, I entered my dingy room and threw myself at full length upon the damp and filthy fioor. I was aroused with a start by the touch of an icy Finger. Before me stood my former partner, clothed in the ghostly white robes of burial, XYho art thou? I shrieked in a wild frenzy of fear, and why dost thou who art so long dead appear at my bedside ? Sluggard,'l spoke the cold voice of the phantom, I am come to show thee scenes of happiness that thou mightest have enjoyed-had it not been for thy waste- fulness, and thy lack of proper ambition. Co, spirit, trouble me no more and do not recall to a wasted life the memories of things that might have been. I plead and yet, I was possessed with an ardent desire to see those friends of my high school days whom l had known before my ambition left me and I had lost all interest in this job of living. To the spectre, my mind was as an open book and reading therein my innermost desires. it answered by drawing me through the paneless window and out into the cold and moonlit night, far above the drowsy city, only to descend to the steps of a gigantic cathedral built by John Smith and Charles O'Neal, architects and con- structors of note. As we paused in the doorway before entering I glanced around me. From the dress and general appearance of those gathered, I judged that there must be some ceremony in progress connected with the social elite of the city, and it was rumored that one of the world's greatest hnanciers, Carlyle Carrington, originator of Car- rington's Cure for Sleeping Sickness, was expected. Wie entered the church, and, at that moment, I realized we were attending a wedding, for before the altar I beheld Nathaniel Alexander Gregory, thrice a wid- ower, embarking for the fourth time on the sea of matrimonial difhculty with a very yOuI'1g bride, who so closely resembled Elizabeth Pollard that she certainly must have been her grand-daughter. Nat still think he's Ponce de Leon, remarked Lillian Allen to her partner Madame Newsom of the American Beauty Salone, and he reminds me of Ponce de Leon Felton Hayes the way he tried to keep his youth. I moved away from these leaders of the feminine world of business and drew closer to a group gathered around Frances Thomas and Nancy VVoods who now lived on the campus in order to better fill their positions as chaperones to little Duke University freshmen. I47I NSMNSMNSMNSMNSWSWMZSSMNSMNSMQSSM From them I found that Bennie Purvis was extremely excited for she had just been appointed president of a dramatic school where she could talk when, where, and as much as she pleased without being interrupted by her superiors. Suddenly, my attention was detracted from these interesting tidbits of conver- sation by sweet music drifting down from above, and on looking into the choirloft I beheld Robert VVilson, Frank Moore, Sam Lindsey, Charles Knott, Josephine Fuller, W'inford Bobbitt and Beulah VVilliams, accompanied by Josephine Laprade, director of Laprade's National Jazz Orchestra, smiling as they sang 'fThe Dream of Lovel' composed for the occasion by William Troxell, successor to Irving Berlin, and his understudy Elsie Smith. As we left the cathedral I noticed that we were walking side by side with Jane Barker, and, as she seemed in somewhat a pensive mood, we followed her into a secluded room of the new Henley Hotel where she joined a group of fellow sena- tors composed of Jacob Levin, Bill Parker, Frank ller, David Jaffe, and Mary Teel who were endeavoring to formulate a scheme by which they could force the pre- siding Sam Margolis to grant a hearing on the twelve months school bill presented by the National Secretary of Education, Lee Vickers. Though I would have liked to have heard more about the bill, the limited time demanded that we depart and after possibly Hfteen minutes of travel in the upper regions of the atmosphere I began to notice landmarks familiar to my childhood, and to my surprise I found myself standing in front of a sixteen story building that advertised itself as being owned by Robert Malone and used as the new home of the daily paper Truth Uneducatedfl I entered the main office and before me I beheld several competent secretaries engrossed in their work which had been made lighter by the popular SOLCLJO- WAY system. In this group, I recognized Margaret Christmas, Madeline Marshall, Sadye Levin, Elsie Oakley, Clarine Perry, Rachel Sigley, and Anna Switzer. Suddenly my thoughts were violently interrupted by a shout issuing from the general direction of Iiditor Shackleford's office that announced in no uncertain terms that book agents were unwelcome visitors, and in a shower of paper weights, ink bottles, and books, one budding aspiring poet in the person of Leonard Lewis and two high pressure salesmen, namely, VVillis Aldridge and Hugh Alexander, made a dash for liberty. V Fearing that specters and other invisible guests might receive the same hearty welcome, I begged my supernatural partner to leave and as he seemed in the same state of mind, we fioated out into the peace and quiet of the night and across the city to the hospital of one Dr. Clyde Dunnegan. To my surprise on entering the building I noticed that the largest Ward was named Myrtice and I could not refrain from mentioning How-Well it was kept and how appetizing was the tray sent up for Catherine Farthing, a patient who was now Secretary to the President. The phantom informed me that the reputation of the food was due mainly to the diligence of the two famous dietitians, Nancy McDaniel and Stough Gantt, and that the well ordered appearance of the place was the result of the unceasing efforts of that spinster, Annie Durham Rogers, to make everything as precise as possible. As it is not safe for one with tonsils or adenoids to remain in a hospital for any length of time, lest infection result, we made our departure before Sergeants Adams I43I NQMNSMNQMZSQMNSMNQMWMNSMKSMNSM and Cockman had a chance to get us in power, and, after traveling with the winds for several minutes, we drifted down to the quiet and peaceful campus ,of old D. H. S. There was nothing singular about the peaceful grove, and I thought perhaps we had stopped for a rest when I noticed before me a pillar of the whitest marble extending into the heavens. My curiosity was aroused, and as I approached I was able to discern the following inscription: Dedicated to the faculty of 1929 by the club of ,55 to commemorate the heart breaking ordeal of holding the lamp of knowledge before the blind students in '29. This touching dedication was signed by Leland Garrison, principal, and his staff of teachers including Clara and Louise Murray, Marian Sneed, Mildred O'Brien, Hazel Price, Mary Skinner, and Lucile Draughon, who were trying to uphold the high rating won for the school by Iris Rawl and Gertrude Russell in the year of '29. . I was unable to stand the strain of the memories that seemed to flood my spirit and was only too glad to follow when the phantom beckoned with its bony finger to signify that the time had come for our departure. We traveled west and then dropped mystically through the roof of the Corbin Building into the reception room of Anne Elizabeth Markhanfs Silhouette Parlor. The spectre dropped easily into one of the plush chairs manufactured by Love Sz Beard, Inc., and with a nod of its bare dome signihed that the room was at my disposal. Hung at random upon the walls, I found examples of this famous artist's work and here and there the silhouette of some famous person from which I easily sepa- rated the portraits of Marjorie Glasson, President of Saint Cecilia's Select School for Talented Girls, Frances Council, dean of Chrysler Driving School, Margaret Henry King, who had just won the national prize for music composition offered by the john Rigsbee Music Club of Americag and Nancy Roberson, the first woman president of the United States. Once again that magnetic hand beckoned, and though it was my greatest desire to remain and learn more of the art, I was powerless under the sinister force of the phantom. With closed eyes, I obediently followed and when my senses returned I found myself in the magnificent Margaret Harris Theatre. The spell woven by the twirling dancers as they moved across the stage, held me in its thrall, and as the fantastic movements continued I recognized a few of the beautiful terpsichoreans who were formerly my class mates as Mae Bell Draughon, Helen Card, Fontelle Cozart, and Ina Lee Collins. Sidney Bowden, the famous producer, announced the world's speediest lecturer, Estelle Apperson, who was cam- paigning with Chester Berry for Claiborne Byrd as Governor of Nlorth Carolina. This speech was to be illustrated with motion pictures of a free barbecue given by Hon. Wm. O'Brien, U. S. Senator, at Raiford Farthing's country home. Scarcely had I settled down to enjoy the performance, when the phantom once again compelled me to expose my aching physique to the ravages of the ele- ments as we traveled northward for perhaps two hours. I deeply regretted leaving the warmth and comfort of the theatre for before we were finally descended to the city street, I was chilled to the bone. I49J NQMWWZZSSMESQMNSMWMWMRSQMNQMWM Directly above my head, emblazoned on an ancient clapboard, I noticed the in- scription Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe and slightly to the right the name of I-I. Ger- mano Sz M. Stadiem. The phantom swung the creaking door on its rusty hinges, and I entered and began to examine the stock of my former friends. Directly before me, I saw a large French doll of Florence C1 l1tCl1HClCl,S creation. Encased in glass in a far corner of the room, I beheld a high chair of old Eng- lish pattern that was said to have been in the room when Gzelle Cannady, Ruth johnson, Annie Claytor, Lillian Cooke, and Ruby Crumpacker met and framed that famous petition asking Congress to pass a bill granting to women drivers the privi- lege of right of way, always. The brilliant moonlight flooded through the tiny window and-lit an ancient bookcase where were many ponderous and worm eaten volumes from which I picked a Latin grammar edited by Drs. Lois Foster, jack Still, and Merle Cottrell, of Chi- cago University, and a French primer by Monsieur Edward Kersey and Madem- oiselle Patsy Mason, exchange professors from the University of Paris. These books were published by the firm of Sykes 81 Coleman, Inc. Leaving the Olde Curiosity Shoppe we passed swiftly down the narrow street to one of the large docks of the city. As we drew closer to the lowered gang-plank of a gigantic steamer of the Johnson and Jones Line, I immediately recognized Edna Griffin, Mary Hicks, Grace Iler, and Elizabeth Mosely, all employees of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Silent Seniors, who were causing the two agents, Aubrey Cheek and James Adams, much worry by detaining the U. S. Ambassador to Japan, Elizabeth Pearse, with the usual prattle of departure. From the mixed and hurried conversation I gathered that Claiborne Hurst, Ralph Lewis, VVilliam Markham, and Louis Sher, had been made rich overnight by a sudden rise in value of the stock of the I, A. Taylor Bunion Derby Mines which they had bought from Hoyle Scott of the New York Exchange. I also learned that Marian McCracken and Uldine Rogers had taken off from the Sneeden Airport in an endeavor to make a non-stop flight around the globe in order to equal the record set by Beverly Rose and Eugene VVilliams the previous year and that they were booked by the famous trio, Strother, Stroud, and Southerland, to enlarge their vaudeville act for the coming season at the Umstead Theatre. Suddenly the shrieking blast of the steamboat whistle and the dazzle of red, yellow and blue lights faded. - When the sense of feeling returned to my poor body I was lying at full length upon the fioor of my dingy room. With an aching head and heavy heart I staggered to the open window and gazed far out over the sleeping city. Looking toward the east I beheld the first streaks of grey that announced the approaching dawn, and while a drowsy wren trilled to its sleepy mate in the nearby chimney corner, l bent my weary head in a silent prayer of thanks to the guardians of the fates who had granted me the privi- lege of seeing once again those friends of days gone by. To the bird in the chimney corner it was the dawn of a new dayg but to me it was the dawn of a new life, for after' beholding the happiness of the Class of '29, I firmly resolved to fight life's battles anew so that at the final roll call I might be able to add one laurel leaf to the crown of my ALMA MATER. ZALPH ROCHELLE. I 501 Last Will and Destament The good school year of 1928-1929 having come to a dramatic close, an event which will sever us, the Illustrious Seniors, from our beloved daily haunts, sacred to us, and our friends, therein, who have inspired our endeavors, we deem it wise, ere that time to allot the personal property and talents-otherwise the belongings, and characteristics of our classmates-to those who have merited them.

We have visions which some day in the near future will reveal to us this second Clemenceau of rapier like wit and Herculanean effort. This hero welcomes the op- portunity to discuss, argue feven with a sign-postj, and advise on any important question such as, whether gentle- men prefer blondes or brunettes3 how it feels to be presi- dent of a literary societyg and the whys and wherefores of an appendicitis operation.

Estelle's pleasant smile and friendly attitude have won her many friends in Durham High. When her brown eyes twinkle, well-there's something afoot, and we don't mean slippers! She is taking a commercial course, and when she. graduates she hopes to be a competent stenog- rapher to some financial wizard or to guard the destinies of the president. , CARLYLE CHRISTOPHER CARRINGTON NSLEEPYU Oh sleep!

Carlyle has the enviable reputation of being the laziest person in the Senior Class. Of course, he has to live up to such a rep so he never fails to take a daily snooze while in solid geometry. However, Carlyle has proved by his good work on the gridiron that he can keep awake. In Mr. Tw'addell's Glee Club Car1yle's voice rivals that of Al Iolson Johnson when his melodious bass is on parade. JANE BARKER KCZOJY Anything but history, for history must be false.

' Not a Jane, but a lady, a perfect lady. One might say a lady of leisure without a care in the world, but American History prevents such a statement. Jane with her frat jewelry has quite taken us under the charm of Greek let- ters. We always thought her a modern flapper, but even Happers are changeable, so if you see an Irish lady with an I told you so attitude behind the footlights-well, that's still Jane. WILLIAM CONWAY COLEMAN TURTLE BILLU Whistle and she'll come to you Like a bolt straight from the blue. Athletic Association 43 Midyear Class Vice-President 43 Home Room Vice-president 4. Believe it or not, his name is Coleman! Like our idol of the screen, William has captifred many feminine hearts with his dreamy eyes. Unaware of the many admiring glances which the girls cast upon him, he considers w'omen the least of his worries. William is one of the fellows who is apparently unruflled in a crisis, who has, so far as we know, never been touche.d by Dan Cupid. Though he timidly evades questions concerning his ambition, we have reason to believe that he secretly Fosters the hope of becoming an aviator. NANCY HALL Let each one sing his love, for' song shall banish care. Girls' Club 3, 43 Lila Brogden Literary Society 43 Ath- letic Association 4. Here's another Marian Talley, and at the rate she's going, it won't be long before we will be buying tickets to hear the Metropolitan Opera star. Nancy hasn't been with us all the time, but she has made. many friends, all of whom are glad that they have known her. She's as busy as a bee, even when riding around in her gray Packard-because, well that's still business. i551 tsiidisiirihiiiriistirihiitriisiirihiiiritsiiritsiiritsiird CLYDE DUNNEGAN HPREACHERU , We grant that he had much wit And was not shy of using it. French Club 43 Track Team 2, 4. A rare product, indeed, is Clyde. He goes around with his face beaming all the timeg even when therefs nothing at all to smile about. He has shown such remarkable ability for pronouncing French that we predict he will sometime. be an interpreter for the Ambassador from France to America. He says he does not like girls, but- who cares whether he does or not so long as he finds them good pals all the way? GRACE ILER TID-BIT Friendship is love without his wings. Girls, Club 4, Lila Brogden Literary Society 45 Stunt Night 4. Grace's sweet disposition, friendly manner, and winning smile have won many friends, during her short stay in Durham High. She's full of life, but knows when and how to work. Peace and happiness in a cozy cottage amid sun- shine and flowers are in her horoscope. CHARLE s CLAIBORNE HURST HZELLYY7 He is the best of friends, the same today and forever.

Claiborne is one of our band boys who daily does his good turn. Though small in stature, there's nothing small about the scope of his activities since he runs around with the track team, wrestles wiith the wrestling squad, and plays with the orchestra. When he toots his horn it's be- cause Mr. Twaddell tells him to, but when he blows his trumpet, even Gabriel himself turns green with jealousy. ETHEL JOSEPHINE LAPRAD1-: UJ07!

If Jo read the ad, Play a Sax and Become Popular, she certainly put it to a good advantage. But that is not all Jo can do-she can study the three R's all morning, teach music all afternoon, and have energy enough to get back to school again the next day. Probably, the reason why she can accomplish so much fand do it well tool is that she is inspired and encouraged by a shy spirit. Page Harry, and let us catch a glimpse of this rare soul. FRANK ROBESON ILER HKAYOH . It was a saying of his that education was an ornament in prosperity, and a refuge in necessity. Athletic Association 43 Commercial Club 4. Early in the year Miss Herr decided Frank's smile would pass, but his handwriting made him worthy of a second glance. It takes two or three glances to decipher Ile.rish hieroglyphics. However, due to constant prac- tice, he has greatly improved in this respect, and now when a translation accompanies all his themes, we can read them with only a little difficulty. In Ovid, Frank stooped to be conquered, but what's a little thing like that between friends? Anyway, we won't hold that against him because not even the best of us can conquer alone.

We wonder how Miss Solloway will ever carry on without Sadie, as important as keys on the typewriter. Sadie has never learned to say no when she is called upon to do a good turn. She's always ready, a truly ready leddy. At the rate she's going, we see her as Mr. Ford's private secretary in the near future. 4 i56l '2s'5?m5?m5?r'4?s??r5hii?r5?s5?r4?si?r4ESi?rl?SS?r4?sf5?r4 EDWARD LOVEILLE KERSEY HCOUN'l Whose wit in the combat ir gentle as bright Ne'er carried a heart stain awa on its blade.

He has great pros- pects as a cartoonist, the proof of which can be seen on the black boards of Room 110 after each lunch period. The Count will probably come sailing into the Harbor of Graduation on one of his 1930 model ships. His spirit is an inspiration even to those who do not wear the honor- ablehqtitle Miss Herr gave him because she's still counting on im.

Margaret has dignity, poise, and an abundance of musical ability. She does a good bit of thinking for herself and is always willing to help think for someone else. She is pensive sometimes, but her daily life demonstrates her line philosophy. We dare not peep into her future, but we hope her-well, that is, to say, because she blushes when we suggest it.

Jack really doesn't mind if you call him 1ittle 5 that is, if you say it with a grain of salt and think of Jeff, but it does make him boil to ask him if he has his French, or to suggest that he is charity in disguise. Well, maybe Jack is small and lovely but he. is versatile enough to be a dignified youth one minute and a cunning little flower girl the next. MILDRED BRIDGERS MITCHELL HSKINNYU Simplicity of character ir no hindrance to ability of intellect. Athletic Association 45 Mandoline Club 45 Lila Brogden Literary Society 43 Commercial Club 45 Girls' Club 4. Mildred is the jolly, care-free type and has a keen sense of humor. She is very fond of athletics. Sl1e also likes to roam over glen and dale: no, with Glenn, I'm sorry, a mere confusion of prepositions. That's all right which- ever it is! Mildred is a good sport although she is fre- quently up to mischief. WALTER RELEE NEWBERN On with the dance! Let joy be nnconjined To chase the glowing hour: with flying feet.

This little lamb is searching for a sheepskin to wrap his brilliant future in. As the Eddie Guest of Durham, he writes his verse, sets it to music and interprets his ideas by dancing lightly or heavily depending on the agility of his partner.

It must be a grand and glorious feeling to know that one is popular, but it's greater still to keep it to one's self. And so we can all sympathize with the modest young man w'ho calls himself Jack Still. Jack is a man after George Washington's own heart, insofar as he never told a lie for if he did, it was just a little white onej and he is usually first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his sweethearts-oh! pardon, please-we didn't mean that at all. Jack isn't the type that will try to get by ? And how! NANCY Woons - Brown eyes that sparkle. Athena Literary Society 45 Commercial Club 35 Athletic Association 2, 35 Girls' Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Nancy is uiet, but not too quiet, and when there is some mischieg afoot, one usually finds her adorable. brown curls bobbing up accompanied by her mischievous, though inquisitive brown eyes. Nancy is not overly fond of studying, but usually is able to tease passing grades from the teachers. . T581 l s sr. NANCY ROBERSON N. A. GREGORY President of Student Body Vice-P1'cs1'dent of Student Body Student Government TUDENT GOVERNMENT in Durham High School has long been an unrealized dream. The faculty leaders have found the students unprepared as yet for so large a responsibilityg but to the satisfaction of the entire student body, the first step toward realizing the dream of limited government by the students was taken in January, 1929. At this time Nancy Roberson, a senior, a Worthy leader, was elected president of the student body by popular vote. Nat Gregory, another cap- able senior, was elected vice-president. Since their election the heads have been earnest and helpful in everything they have been called upon to do, and have made several suggestions for school projects. They have attempted to increase school spirit and foster self-reliance among the students. The members of the student body of Durham High School have shown that they are able to elect excellent leadersg and to the delight of the faculty they are becoming more and more independent and capable each year. The first milestone toward self-government has been passed. It remains for the succeeding classes to reach the final goal-that of emphasizing true cooperation with all school projects and living together in school, in such a way as to build good citizens for our community. l59l NSMNMWMWMWMWMNMWMNSMNM The Test Graduates The ,Post Graduate Class has enrolled for the present school year twenty mem- bers. Out of this number three have come to us from schools outside of Durham, and the remainder from the various high schools of the city. At the beginning of the year, the class under the leadership of its adviser, Miss Ethel M, Solloway, elected the following officers: President, Evelyn Vickers, Sec- retary, Mary Lee Billings: and Treasurer, Anna R. Miller. These girls have given unstinted time and untiring efifort to the activities of the class, and have been instru- mental in promoting a spirit of co-operation and loyalty among their classmates. During the year our class has displayed a fine spirit of loyalty in the school activities, especially in the work of the Commercial Club. In December the Coroso Players presented the Gypsy Trail, and several members of the class took part in the presentation of this entertainment, namely, Dahlia Scoggins, Anna Miller, Catherine Crabtree Scott, and Certie Mathes Markham. The class was well represented in the group of students who competed for and won honors in the District and State Contests in shorthand and typing. On April 20, the following l'ost Graduates went to Raleigh to enter the District Contest: Catherine Crabtree Scott, Anna R. Miller, Evelyn Vickers, and Dahlia Scoggins. These girls made a very hue record in beginning shorthand, winning first place in the District Contest. The following girls represented our class in first year type- writing: Evelyn Vickers, lioy Wiilson, and Dahlia Scoggins. Dahlia Scoggins won the honor of being the fastest first year typist in the District Contest, Writing at an average of fifty words a minute. On May 4 at the State Commercial Contest held in Chapel Hill, N. C., the first year shorthand team again succeeded in winning first place, for which it received ten dollars in gold. Anna R. Miller received the gold medal offered for the most accurate transcript handed in by a first year short- hand student, making the excellent grade of 99 44j1O0 per cent. The class has experienced a most interesting year-a year of hard work and accomplishment. VV e have learned to write shorthand at the rate of one hundred Words per minute, and to type at an average of forty words per minute. VVe have studied Accounting and Business Principles in our Bookkeeping, and forms of business correspondence in Secretarial Studies. Nlfhen the year ends, we hope to be able to go out in the world, well prepared to meet the demands of modern business. The class wishes to express its sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the officials of the high school, to its commercial teachers, Miss Mary Holland and Miss Amanda Gordon, and especially to its adviser, Miss Ethel M. Solloway, whose faithful work and unceasing devotion in behalf of each student has endeared her to the entire class. ERDINE BROADWELL. L 60 l E611 Mary L. Billings Anna R.

In many ways this class, which offers a boy the chance to continue his high school career to graduation even though he cannot attend school all day, has excelled this year. Again did the Co-ops join hands with the Commercial Club in presenting Wallace, the Magician to the school. Part of the proceeds of this entertainment were given to the school improvement fund. The Coroso players presented The Gypsy Trail as their offering for this school year. The Co-ops taking part in this were Haywood Rogers, who carried the leading roleg John Beeker, Johnnie Blalock, .gkubrey Cheek, and Ben Woodall.. Two performances of this play were given. The Co-ops try to help school projects whenever possible. This year one of the most urgent needs was the raising of sufficient funds to enable the music department to send repre- sentatives to Asheville to participate in the southern music conference. To help raise the funds needed the Co-operative Class gave a minstrel skit, The Great Turkey-Stealing Case of Water- melon County, the proceeds of which were given to the music department. Three social events have taken much of the time and effort of the Co-ops this yearg first, the camp supper and initiation of new members at Camp Sacarusag second, a Christmas supper meeting in the High School Cafeteriag and third, the spring social, the scene of which was Camp Hollow Rock. All of these events were enjoyed thoroughly by every one present. E621 K F631 WWW .25 '59, EE t EU I AE 2.55 S!

Its resources are endless 5 its knowledge, unexcelled. From the athletic standpoint, the Junior Class has furnished many ranking athletes in the various lines of sporting activity. The class has been favorably rep- resented on the gridiron by James Holloway and Roy Phipps, on the basketball court by Joe Giobbi g on the mat by Haywood Latta and james Fortuneg on the tennis court by Lyne Few, John Nycum, and Claiborne Gregoryg on the cinders by Raymond Webster and Eugene Newsom, on the links by Bob Taggart, and on the diamond by Hyman Dave and Fred Lloyd. This is a record of which any class can boast unchallenged. In the literary Held, the class has had excellent representation. John Bird and Claiborne Gregory have attained much success in the forensic line, while Peggy Strowd has long been successful in capturing honors in recitation contests. james Newsom and Harry Carr are budding geniuses on the Hi-Rocket staffg while Lyne Few, Lola Marler Rogers, Dorothy Umstead, and Katherine Brooks have secured permanent positions on the honor roll. . The artistic talent of this group is very pronounced. Nell Atwater in draw- ing, and Dahlia Guthrie in music are notable examples.

They chose as olhcers: President, Allen Barbeeg Vice-President, Charles Rogers, Secretary, Nellie Bisho-pg Treasurer, Laura Preddy. It was with deep regret that we lost Allen and Charles. However, in 1929 Dan Edwards and John Gresham were elected to take their places. At the beginning of the second semester a few members were lost due to promotion. Those who were taking four years work in three left our ranks to become juniors. There are now one hundred and eighty members in our class. We are not ashamed of our record in scholarship. We have had three names on the honor roll list almost every six weeks. They are: Lola Marler Rogers, who is now a Junior, Nellie Bishop, and Fred Wolfe. We challenge any class to better this record. The Sophomores have names in the athletic hall of fame. J. B. Johns was captain of the baseball team, Everett Bugg was manager of the wrestling team of which Jack Ervin, Dan Edwards, James Mann, Kearn Ormond, and J. B. Cook were members. Dan Edwards was chosen captain of next year's team. Herbert Carlton was on the varsity football team, and the All-State High School team. Dear fellow classmates, the journey's half ended Which we began two years ago. The road ahead looked long and rugged And our progress, Oh, so slow: But our aims were high and noble And we buckled to the task. As we knew though hard the labor Bright would be our goal at last. We were faced with many trials, But we smiled and did our bestg And our feet were always guided By the far-off goal, Success. E721 Sophowunes Apperson, Mildred Aldridge, Julian Allen, S. J.

W - X The Freshman Glass History! Gathered here from the four corners of the earth, two hundred beautifully green youngsters began their career in the Durham Central High School on Septem- ber 1, 1928. Being the kind of boys and girls they are, they soon learned not to change classes on two bells, or to line up for fire drills on three. They became accustomed, in some degree, to the rules and habits of High School life, but their greenness was forever breaking out invnew places. At the first class meeting Nor- man Livengood was elected presidentg Frank Satterfield, vice-president, John Sat-- terfield, secretary, and Ben Skinner, treasurer. Here they did show judgment. The freshmen eagerly subscribed to the Hi-Rocket, and also responded to the Messenger call. Early in February the Class of '32 made its debut at a Valen- tine party, the first of its kind ever held in D. H. S. by a freshman class. With the aid of our student body president, the social was a huge success. These freshmen played a hard winning gameg calling time out only for flu, Christmas and Easter. Because the freshmen had never stood High School exams, they could not be fright- ened by the talk of the upper classmen. They stood the first siege with remarkable bravery, and most of them came out on top. Experience taught its lesson, and in May no freshman could be found wandering around with nothing to do. They won out in the last storm, and calmly awaited the distribution of reports. On June 7, the freshmen relinquish their epithet, and will begin looking forward to their sophomore year in Durham High School.

' The Messenger Staff has been faithful and diligent in their contribution of thought, time, and energy for the work. Without the guidance of experience which the faculty offered in various phases of the Work, and the compilation as a whole, the staff might never have realized its class project. To each of these we give our thanks and sincere appre- ciation of effort in our behalf. Mr. Warren guided the publication of the Messenger with valuable advice, and gave unrestrictedly of time and experience in planning and taking the excellent pictures of school life herein displayed. Miss Herr lent her time and guidance to the editing of the Work. Mrs. Plunkett gave much thought and assistance with her classes to the artistic background of cuts designed to make our book attractive. Mr. Fanning, who effectively planned the financial bases for procedure, has made himself our debtor in this business venture. We leave this book, our expression of school life in 1929 in Durham High to you, dear reader! May you enjoy its perusal as We have enjoyed our days in high school.

The Hi-Rocket Staff, since publishing its first issue in 1920, has been a vital factor in high school life. The excellence of the work of the group with Marjorie Glasson, editor-in-chief, was verified .when the Columbia Scholastic Press Association gave the Hi-Rocket a gold medal for winning a second place in Class B in the National Contest this year. The newspaper was entered at the Convention in New York City by William O'Brien, business manager, who was sent by the staff to represent the Hi-Rocket. The organization this year has been successfully working with a managing editor, Frank Moore, to publish the copy and with a business manager, William O'Brien,ito finance the issues, and circulation manager, Beverly Rose, to distribute them. Directly responsible to the editor-in-chief are the literary-general, Marion McCracken, and the news-general, Emmett Shackelford, who in turn direct the work of the other members. The apprentice editor-in-chief has to serve in every capacity. Members are selected for their scholarship, for their natural aptitude for work, and for their character. The faculty advisers serve as guides in the work, but it is upon the initiative, pluck, and native ability of the staff member that the success of the publication finally rests. The Hi-Rocket is the voice of the student body but it also accomplishes other aims. It trains students to learn how to follow directions, how to lead with power, how to bear responsibility, and how to co-operate for service. The faculty advisers are: Literary-Miss Marguerite M.

Each student regularly enrolls in that course best fitted to help him realize his ambition in life. There is also offered to all interested and especially talented pupils another avenue for self-development. This is an op- tional course of extra curricular activities from which students may select one or more in which to work. In this manner, leisure time may be- spent with profit and pleasure, and tale11t may be discovered. The time given to these organizations varies from a meeting a week to one a month. Night meetings are allowed only with permission of the parents of students, when no other time can be agreed upon or when more time is needed for project work. The leaders are fac- ulty members who are interested in the special activity and willing to help youth find itself. The program followed supplements the work of the class room or opens the way to some new field not offered in the regular curriculum but worthy of attention in itself. The oldest type of activity is the literary society work. The Blackwell for boys, founded in 1905, was followed by the Cornelia Spencer for girls a few years later. These have been supplemented by seven others organized when Mr. Warren first came to Durham High. In these are enrolled students who are interested in public speaking in all phases. For encouraging those interested in creative writing in literary or journalistic lines, the Messenger, the annual year book and the Hi-Rocket, the school newspaper were added to the activities. Supplementing the music courses offered, are such organizations as: the band, the or- chestra, the glee clubs for boys and girls, the choral clubs for mixed voices and the children's choir, which prepares for choir work. To help build higher ideals of girlhood in our school and incidentally to create leadership among the women of tomorrow, the Girls' Club is conducted, by the adviser of girls. Students who have histrionie taste or ability, identify themselves with the Dramatic Club, to receive training in the line. Out of a desire to know more about some interesting phase of the work carried on in the science classes, the Edison Science Club was formed. The latest addition to these activities is the French Club, also formed to give opportunity for further study and practice in the use of that language. To create an interest in the program of character building conducted by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. in the interests of the youth of Durham, the Blue Triangle and the Hi-Y clubs have been formed. Those interested in social service may be found in either of these clubs. The athletic activities are so numerous that these are listed under a special head. Oppor- tunity for physical development and the use of leisure time is given in the following activities offered in season: football, basket ball, baseball, tennis, swimming, track, hockey, golf, and wrestling. Those boys who have earned letters have formed a Monogram Club to maintain high ideals in the conduct of all sports and to improve the scholarship of those who wish to participate. For those students taking commercial courses, there is the Commercial Club for junior and senior students, each meeting twice a month. The part-time students have a special group called the Co-operative Class with monthly meetings for business and pleasure. From these two organizations the Coroso Players, a dramatic club, grew which aimed to foster dramatic talent and help in the project of beautifying Durham High. This year the Home Room group activity was featured in order to unify all activities in the one great building program. Each group worked out a special project promoting the inter- ests of each student. From the testimony of pupils themselves, from the interest accomplished in the work, and from the growth in power, service, and ideals, apparent in those who participate, it is evident that extra .curricular activities have a definite place in all round development of high school boys and girls. Since the home can no longer offer the activities it once did, for the youth of our land 'tto learn by doing, the schools in which children spend two-thirds of their waking hours have had to provide other avenues for growth called extra curricular activities. i891 'Elie Blackwell Literary Society llfotto: Faciendo facere discimus .'Idr'1'ser.' Mr. Quinton Holton The Blackwell Literary Society was organized in 1905 and is the oldest organization in the school. As usual, this year the Blackwell Society took an active part in school activities and inter- selections, impromptu talks, and critids reports. Equal emphasis is placed on parliamentary preliminary contests David Jaffe won the honor of representing Durham High at Duke, Wake Forest, and Guilford College, winning second place at Duke and the silver medal at Wake Forest. The weekly programs of the society consist of declamations, lectures, debates, humorous selections, impromptu talks, and critic reports. Equal emphasis is placed on parliamentary procedure i11 the conduct of general business by the society.

Colors: Maroon and Old Gold The Cornelia Spencer Literary Society, the oldest girls' organization in the High School, holds an important place among student activities. The purpose of this society is to further scholarship, to sponsor public speaking, and to make worthwhile citizens of its members. Throughout the present year the aim of the girls of this society has been to uphold the tradif tions of the past for excellence in all undertakings. Each year a.n extensive debating contest is held, and the winner of this contest receives at commencement the Ethel Gladstone medal, the only medal in the school given to girls for debating. On Award Day a medal is given for the best all-round Work done in the society during the year. For a number of years Cornelia Spencer representatives have 'made enviable records in the recitation contest sponsored by the VVoman's Club as well as in the annual Guil- ford College Contest, the latter having been won this year by Helen Card. A Hallowe'en Party was given at the Y. W. C. A. in the fall, and a skit, Lima Beans, was presented at the annual Activities Night.

Herr Since the date of its founding, October 20, 1926, the VValter Hines Page Literary Society has held a high place among the progressive organizations of the Durham High School, and a dear place in the hearts of its members. The aim has been to develop friendship and good citi- zenship ideals among the boys and to train them in the speech arts. This year, in addition to the regular work and at the request of the members, Miss Herr, the adviser, has taught a special group, which meets two nights a month, in poise, voice control, and good habits of speech. The society has showed a decided advancement in its work. The program outlined was followed, the society was represented by Sam Margolis in the declamation contestg it offered A Pipe Dreamy' as its contribution to the Activities Night program: and it closed the season with a banquet at the home of President John Smith.

Southgate Literary Society Motto: Qui Non Proiicit Deficit Faculty Adziiscr: Miss Belle Hampton Although the James H, Southgate Literary Society has been organized only three years, it has grown considerably, both in numbers and in value, and every member feels that she has gained something worthwhile from this year's work. One thing, especially, which has proved a means of arousing interest and securing better work in the society, has been the adoption of a point system. This has given its members a goal to strive towardg and awards, consisting of the letter S to be attached to the society pin by means of a chain, will be given to those who make the required number of points during the year. The programs this year have been intensely interesting, consisting chiefly of debates, reci- tations, short dramatizations, reports on worthwhile books, and helps on parliamentary pro- cedure.

Devoe Fanning Purpose: To strive for good fellowship rather than for honors The Toms-Carmichael Literary Society was organized in Central High for the purpose of improving public speaking and developing the students into worthwhile citizens. This society was named for two well-known citizens of Durham, C. W. Toms and W. D. Carmichael, former superintendents of the Durham City Schools. The bi-monthly programs are composed of discussions on topics of educational value, debates, and extemporaneous talks. Musical selections and jokes add spice to these programs. At present the society is at work on a project for the promotion of intramural athletics for boys. The parody of The Shooting of Dan McGrew was successfully presented on Activities Night by the members. First Term Willis Aldridge... Felton Hayes ..... James Howell ....

Henry Literary Society was named for the well-known North Carolinian short story writer, who was born at Greensboro, North Carolina. Its purpose is to develop the art of public speaking, and to encourage the reading of better books. The society joined the national 'tBook-of-the-Month-Club, and besides poems and reci- tations, its programs consisted of a monthly review of the book which was selected and for- warded by the club. In this way the club members were taught the essentials of reviewing a book. The new members were initiated at Camp Hollow Rock in April. It can be truthfully stated that each member has striven to do her best to make the society one of outstanding merit.

Miss Kathryn Dorsett The Athena Literary Society was organized October 5, 1928, to further the interest in lit- erary work. It is the youngest society in the school, with thirty-four charter members. The membership has increased until it is a band forty-five strong working as one toward its goal which is best expressed in its motto, Today, not tomorrow. Although it is an infant society of the school, it has done well during the scholastic year. Outside of the regular programs the society took part in the school activities. It was repre- sented in the declamation contest by Esther Zuckerman and took part in the annual stunt night program, presenting Athena's Gifts to Her Daughters.

Catherine Barbee E961 Le Qefrcle F francais Adt'i.ver.r: Miss Weston, Mrs. Preston An honorary French Club was organized in Central High this year for the purpose of pro- moting the interest in practical French. Only those students who had an average of 90'Za on at least one-half year of French were invited to join. Because of this requirement the club was small, but we feel that the members have derived much benent from the work. The regular bi-monthly seances were conducted entirely in French. The programs con- sisted of games, contests, readings, and diseussionsg special programs which corresponded to the season were frequently used.

The Lila Markham Brogden Literary Society was named for Mrs. Lila Markham Brogden, a former faculty member of the Durham High School who has become famous throughout the State of North Carolina for her excellent work in the State Federation of Woman's Clubs. It was because of the services Mrs. Brogden rendered to Durham High School and the fine ex- ample of womanhood she sets for the girls of Durham that her name was chosen for this group of girls. Mrs. Brogden gave us for our motto the one which she uses in her own life: The truth will set you freef' From the beginning of its existence this society has taken an active part in the school life. Every year we have been represented in the recitation and debating contests by capable and well-trained members. The society has participated in each annual Activities Night, presenting' this year a skit entitled A Spanish Romance. The custom of entertaining the new members at the beginning of the year with a picnic, and the senior members at the close of the year with a banquet, was followed. The regular bi-monthly meetings have included business sessions and programs. The pro- grams have included recitations, book-reviews, lectures, debates, and musical selections, In order to obtain 'a greater variety in the programs and in order to give more girls a greater opportunity for training themselves in leadership, the program committee is appointed at each meeting for the succeeding meeting. A string club was organized under the direction of Nancy Roberson to furnish music at the regular meetings' This club has furnished music for other entertainments, besides reg- ularly functioning for the society. Kappy Roberson assumed the chairmanship of this club later in the year. Those who composed this string club were: Dorothy Newsom and Kappy Rober- son who played guitarsg Tempe Newsom and Marjorie Glasson who played mandolinsg Mar- garet Henry King, Rachel Sigley, Mildred Mitchell, and Nancy Roberson who played ukuleles.

Warren The Central Hi-Y Club is a part of the world-wide fellowship of Young Men's Christian Association, organized in over fifty countries and numbering two million and more members and associates. The Hi-Y Club of Central High was the hrst organized in North Carolina, chartered in 1918. It has been an active group ever since, devoting the greater part of its time to the better- nient of school and community life. Throughout the year the club has held its weekly supper meetings at the HY building, on Tuesdays, from 6:15 to 7:45. Ladies from eleven different churches of the city have prepared and served the suppers. At each meeting the club has had very interesting programs. Some- times a well-known speaker of the city, or elsewhere, would address the members on some topic of interest to them. At other times the club itself would discuss certain topics brought up by the members. Messrs. A. E. Jenny and W. F.

It is the usual procedure of the club to have members read papers on one subject connected with science at each meeting, and to follow this by an experiment along the same lineg then, too, outside speakers have given interesting lectures, and several field trips have been made. The club has also taken over as a project the presentation of free motion-pictures in the auditorium. Robert Atwood and Clarence Shnford operate this machine providing amusement for the students.

Gholson, Miss Lyda Bishop, Miss Eura Strother The Blue Triangle is a part of the Girl Reserves which is the girls' division of the Y. VV. C. A. There are more than two hundred thousand Girl Reserves in the United States who try to face life squarely. The three sides of the triangle represent the mind, the spirit, and the body. The attempt has been made to enrich the lives of the girls by developing these three sides. The social activities of the Blue Triangle have been club suppers, parties, hikes, special interest group meetings. The usual custom of sending Christmas gifts to the Indian children was followed. The Easter sunrise service on Duke University Campus was one of the most impressive programs of the year. Plans have been made to send delegates to the Southern Girl Reserves' Conference at Brevard, N. C. The following have been officers during the year: Prcsideflf ..... ...............

The club worked with the Co-operative Class in producing The Gypsy Trail, under the direction of Mrs. W. W. Card. The following girls from the club composed the cast: Margaret Naegle, '28, Lenna Mae Brooks, Dahlia Scoggins, and Elizabeth Moseley. In the district contest at Raleigh, Durham led in first and second year shorthand and in Class A typewriting tests. In the state-wide final contest held in Chapel Hill, the team won first place in first-year shorthand contest. The second-year shorthand group won second place, the first year typewriting team, third place in the state contest. Anna Miller won the gold medal offered to the champion shortha.nd writer in beginners' shorthand, and S10 in gold offered by the Durham Loan Sz Trust Company. This year the club purchased The Horse Fair, The Scoutf' and The Appeal to the Great Spirit,', a rug for the office of the commercial department, and a posture chair. The social activities were centered around the sixth annual banquet which was held in the High School cafeteria.

Preston Membership: 90 A Since its organization the Dramatic Club has been one of the largest and most active organizations in Central High. Its purpose is to promote the dramatic interests of the students by increasing their dramatic ability. In past years the club has participated in the state dramatic contests, winning honcis wherever it went. This year, however, it was decided to drop out of the state contest in order to give the students more opportunity for participation in plays by presenting a one act play each month. U The first presentation of the year 1928-Z9 was the three-act comedy, Mr. Pim Passes By, by A. A. Milne. During the spring semester, two one-act plays were presented: The Trysting Place and i'Spreading the News. The Trysting Place was repeated at the Monarchs' enter- tainment for the benefit of the Children's Choir. The Dramatic Club held a picnic at Camp Hollow Rock on April 5, in honor of the new members. A skit entitled The Silent Moviel' was presented at the annual Activities' Stunt Night. The chairmen of the standing committees are: ' Publicity ...................... ..,..

GRAHAAM Qafetefria One of the agencies which is materially helpful toward the successful administration of the affairs of life in high school is the cafeteria operated under the able direction of Mrs. Paul C. Graham. Her aim as manager is to have the cafeteria work for people, with people, and to serve all people well. The spirit of helpfulness manifested in the dining room management. where student help is a feature of the system, is the reflection of Mrs. Graham's attitude towards life. The work of serving the students of Durha.m High is a task which involves two types of ministrationg one daily, the other, occasional. Five days in the week a well-balanced menu is offered to students at the lunch period. The food is well-cooked, attractively prepared, and served at cost. A glance at the offering each day shows the choice possible, and the variety given, to suit the tastes and needs of those served. Daily the following food is offered: bread and butterg soups, meat, bearing the government stamp of inspectiong vegetables, leafy and starchy, three of each, salads, a choice of two, desserts, one besides ice cream and fruit, candy, and nuts, drinks, milk, cocoa, or punch. , The room itself is attractively brightened by flowers or other decorations appropriate to the seasons: and special days are most cleverly suggested by the artistic touches which make the atmosphere homelike. The second important phase of work undertaken by 'the cafeteria is that of helping to furnish refreshments at all school functions. These include teas, socials or banquetsg some are very simple a.nd some more elaborate. All are furnished at a minimum of expense and as attractively as possible. The banquets have been a source of much pride and satisfaction to all concerned. , The unfailing courtesy, the unlimited resourcefulness, and the charming personality of Mrs. Graham make her service to Durham High School a.n inspiration to the whole school. 51093 QSSMPSSMNQMNSMNSMWWQNSMWWZNSMWM 51101 -lb PE 5, .. William Helen Virginia ' George Markham McDaniel Rogers Boyd The Athletic Association The Tides and Whirlwinds and other athletic boomerangs of Central High School need no introduction. For many years and in many fields of athletics, the wearers of the crimson have won deserved recognition for their technique and sportsmanship. Their clean-playing and courtesy have distinguished them in the realm of sports. During the past season wrestling added its name to the list of D. H. S. sports. The Red Grapplers were a credit to us, and we are justly proud of our young sport. Central High was highly successful in her major standbys, and also turned out creditable teams in track, tennis, and golf, the three minor sports. -V Girls' athletics are still confined to intra-mural activities. However, the intra-mural tourna- ments arouse a great deal of interest and involve hard work on the part of the girls. Inter- class tournaments were held in hockey, swimming, track, and basketball. The sophomores emerged victorious from the hockey tournament, and the juniors emerged victorious from the basketball tournament. We are justly proud of our athletic program and of the ideals upheld by our teams. The standards of Durham High sha.ll ever be raised by the spirit of her members. The student body particularly wishes to thank the coaches, Miss Lyon and Messrs. Burke, Taylor, Hardaway, and Hayes, and the advisers, Mr. deBruyne and our principal, Mr. W. F. Warren, for their efficient coaching and guidance duri11g the past season, which has made it most successful in all lines of activity offered. 51111 NQMESQMNSWSNSMNSMZSSMNSWSNSMNSMNSM Football JAMES HOLLOVN'AY, C aptain That phenomenal inland Tide, which originated in Durham and which has for the past several years caused considerable damage to North Carolina football elevens, surged again this season and won new honors for the school which it repre- sented and set new standards in sportsmanship. The personnel of the Crimson Tide of '28 was made up mostly of veterans. The first game of the season was played with Apex and much to our surprise was a defeat, but as experience is a good teacher, the following week the wearers of the Crimson dealt a stinging blow of defeat to Rocky Mount. The Tide's first formidable opponent of the season was the team of John Mar- shall High School at Richmond, Virginia. The team worked hard but was unable to score against its more powerful aggressor. Goldsboro was the second team to be set adrift by the strength of the Tide. The next contest was played with Sanford, the famous rival of long standing. Both teams showed much strength but were unable to score. The sixth game, which was played with our famous opponent, Raleigh, proved to be the outstanding game of the season. Durham had the game sewed up until the last five minutes of play when Raleigh tied the score with a touchdown. When the whistle blew, however, Durham had the ball in her possession and was gaining at will. The Tide overwhelmed Bethel Hill in the first game of the championship series by an enormous score. Hillsboro took the same route as Bethel Hill when she assailed the Tide in a practice game. The next encounter proved to be the Crimson Tide's waterloo, not because of the score, but because of Lady Luckf, The boys played Oxford to a tie and, as there was no time for another game, the decision was left to a lottery in which Oxford proved to be lucky. Although the Oxford game automatically closed the football season, the Tide met High Point in a post-season game and was defeated after a hard fight. Although this last game rang down the curtain on the high school football career of Bacon Fuller, Guy Mitchell, Robert Wilson, Bill Markham, Louis Sher, and Carlyle Carrington, the Tide will have Herbert Carlton-who incidentally ref ceived the honor of a place on the All-State High School Eleven-Roy Phipps, who was the pilot of this season's team, jim Rogers, Jim Fortune, Gordon Pope, jim Holloway, Will Lougee, and Bill McAllister to form the nucleus of next year's team.

This year the team reached the finals in the North Carolina State Tournament held at Raleigh. VVith the splendid coaching of lkey', Taylor and through the leadership of Captain -lim Holloway the Whirl- wind was able to win fourteen out of the eighteen games played against other high schools. Three of this number were lost, by a small margin in each game, to our old rival, Raleigh. The team this year was built around Hayes, Holloway, Sher, and Harris who received their letters last year, By stellar playing Giobbi, Howell, Markham, and Alexander won places on the first team. The WVhir1wind met High Point in the initial clash, which announced the ap- proach of a successful season and early hopes to all State honors. The next game proved to be the greatest defeat of the season as the Carolina Frosh were too experienced to bow before the High quintet. The victories then began to roll toward D. H. S. Leaksville, High Point, Oxford, and Shelby fell with the small end of the scores. 51161 The strong Asheville team placed a scar on the record by defeating the Whirl- wind in one of the hardest fought games of the season. The championship series opened with Elland who was too weak to hold scores down. Likewise, Apex, a new rival, and Bethel Hill followed lltiand in the line of defeats. The next championship game was the greatest shock to the Durham fans. Durham having previously defeated Raleigh was now forced to give up its desire for a championship. To the Durham men the season had just begun as they journeyed to State College to play in the State Tournament. Again Durham met High Point and defeated them with a bigger score than before. Lexington and VVilson also dropped their dreams for state honors to place the NVhirlwind in the finals of the tournament. The last game of the season and of the tournament was one of the most inter- esting games of the year. Durham met Raleigh who had also won three games in the tournament to give them the right to play Durham. The Wfhirlwind played a hard game but was not able to ward off the goal which gave Raleigh the victory. As a token for their ability and sportsmanship the team was awarded a silver lov- ing cup and individual silver basketballs. The members of the team and the basketball fans regret that by graduation of Markham, Hayes, Howell, Sher, and Alexander the team will be weakened, but with Holloway, Harris, and Giobbi back as veterans, the XVhirlwind will be able to maintain its record of previous years.

After a few short weeks of practice, the Red Grapplers unfortunately fell before the strong Lowe's Grove team. Increased effnciency led to a tie with Winstoii-Salem, former State Champions. The elation which followed was somewhat dampened, however, when the Grap- plers were defeated in a return meet with VVinston-Salem. The next encounter marked the first victory for the team. This was won at the expense of Greensboro in a fast and furious encounter. History repeated itself in the next tussle, which was with our former conquerors, Lowe's Grove, despite the fact that the Grapplers showed much improvement, The year was brought to a close by two overwhelming defeats handed the inferior Garner tusslers. Prospects for the ensuing year are very favorable, since no member of the team will be lost through graduation. 51183 'Gmclq Track began its second year as a major sport in Durham High under strained difficulties In addition to the fact that no letter me.n from the previous season returned, new' candidates were slow in answering' the call to practice. - After an irregular period of practice, decidedly affected by inclement weather, a team was formed which entered the State meet at Chapel Hill, failing, however, to place in any eve.nt.

The season began by preliminary matches held at Hope Valley and Hill- andale Country Clubs. These matches were so satisfactory that Coach Burke decided to enter the teamslin the South Atlantic High School Golf Association Tournament which was held at Char- lotte. In spite of the inexperience of the team, when the final scores were counted it was found that the Durham boys placed sixth, which was by no means a small honor to Durham High School. This result was possible through the vfntiring ef- forts of the men and thefleadership of Captain Bill O'Brien. C Baseball J. B. JOHNS, Captain Central High Schoolis baseball nine came through its most successful season in several years oy meet.ng and deteating many strong opponents. Several new aspirants displayed their powers before the grandstand and from these, together with the returning letter-men Coach Taylor selected a very aggressive team. Durham's first opponent was Henderson whom she decisively defeated by practically start- ing a track meet during the fifth frame. Clayton took the same route as Henderson although they were formerly rated by the fans as the winner. The next game was a very close encounter played with our bitter rival, Raleigh. Raleigh was ahead until the last inning when Durham revived and scored two runs. Our first defeat was at the hands of Oxford. The Central boys were unable to hit Ox- ford's pitcher. The Central nine was defeated by Raleigh in the next engagement. The team played hard but unsuccessfully. Durham's third consecutive defeat was at the hands of Clayton. Errors were largely responsible for this defeat. The tea.m again took on a winning streak and defeated the Duke Law School, the Raleigh Methodist Orphanage, and Roxboro in a series of practice games. These were all outstanding victories for Durham. Beginning the championship series, the high nine defeated Roxboro in a very fast though close encounter. With the defeat of Bethel Hill in the second game of the series Central High became the champions of Group I. The Central High team challenged Oxford to another practice game and secured ample revenge for the defeat earlier in the season. Due to the lateness of the baseball season it is not possible to get a complete report for the year book. Doubtless, however, an enviable record may be the result of this season's work.

Mr. S. B. Hayes, coach of the present team, planned a tournament but as the elimination matches progressed the squad was finally narrowed down to six players. The team chose two of its players to represent the school in the annual state-wide tourna- ment, held in Chapel Hill. Captain james Martin a.nd Williani Markham played an exception- ally hne brand of tennis in both singles and doubles in the matches. Their rating in the state tournament forthe present year shows a great improvement over last year's representatives. The high school netmen have played Chapel Hill, Winston-Salem, and Burlington, so far, and have arranged meets with Raleigh and High Point high schools. The high school rac- queteers have met with victory in all matches except against Winston, when the local netmen were defeated after displaying a brilliant brand of tennis. The team is exceptionally fortunate in losing only one of its members this year. Coach Hayes seems well satisfied with the progress the team has made this season, but intends to produce a still better team next year. 51211 WMQQMWMZSSMESSMNSMEVMWMNSWZNSM Girls' Basketball N1-:LL ATXN'ATER, Captain The girls' ba.sketball season opened with two tournaments, the inter-session room tourna- ment and the inter-class tournament. Junior session rooms 5A1 and SA2 were champions of the inter-session room tournament, having wrested the game from the freshmen session rooms 3A1 and SA2, the score being 42-18. Immediately following this series the inter-class tourna- ment was played. Captains for the class teams were, Newsom, Seniorg Atwater, Iuniorg Bishop, Sophomore, T. Newsom, Freshman. The final championship game was played Feb- ruary 14, Seniors vs. Juniors. The Juniors won with a score of 14-13. To this team a silver trophy was presented by the Girls' Club of the High School, in order to promote interest in intra-mural athletics. At the close of the inter-class basketball tournament the class managers and captains elected an honorary varsity. The varsity team, picked with regard to scholastic standing, physique, sportsmanship, and ability as basketball players, received letters. After a varsity-faculty clash, the season ended at a banquet with the boys' varsity, and faculty team. This closed a most successful athletic year for girls under the capable leader- ship of Miss Ruth Lyon, girls' athletic director. 51223 ADVERT-Sig i n yi J 5 S H 1 3 1 3. 1 4 1 M E 5 5 2 4 5 i i 's 1 E F E 1 1 E 4 Q Q 1 e 5' i m,m',:.mww-mm ,x A . . .1-V-,-MQ-if.M-...
