GILBERT CASH XVH ITP City Boarrf of Elljilfllfiflll Conmlfing Lw7lgi7l1'!'f PAGE 1 5 rt' Superintendenfs Message NCIENT MYTHOLOGY is the religion of a primitive people beautifully portrayed. This ancient theory in- cluded myths regarding the creation of the world, myths eX- plaining the making of man, myths of sin and punishment, illustrative and explanatory myths. Many prominent writers have used these mythical stories and references for illustration and beauty. A new civilization through human ingenuity has fathomed the mysteries of the universe and has unfolded and interpreted the natural laws of the true God and man. Stories of the beautiful Minerva, a Roman Goddess of Wisdom and Educa- tion, Apollo, the God of the Sciences and Arts, Venus, the Goddess of Beauty, Achilles, bravery, Penelope, faithfulness, and others, representing friendship, happiness, health, justice, love, music, peace, purity, strength, and youth, adorn educa- tional halls, symbolizing and emphasizing these great life vir- tues in their true relationship with the better life. Youth today must say to the world that peace and good will among men is the greatest philosophy of life. Our school slogan might well be, Living the life better that we will have to live anyway. This, of course, may be 'done through thorough preparation and cultural background. May youth always uphold the highest ideals of the true life, serving and sacrificing for the true God. W. F.

You have preserved for us those opportunities and possibilities which have been enjoyed by our predecessors-a privilege denied so many schools in North Carolina. Only through the combined efforts and determination of such loyal friends as the City Board of Education, parents, teachers,'alumni, and civic groups have the high standards of our schools been maintained. We, as students of Durham High, hope that our future achievements may stand as a perpetual memorial to you and to your faith in us.

PG QI Prineipal's Message HE MYTHOLOGY of a race is a timeless product of the folk-mind, a long-range representation of the spiritual or emotional experience of a people. It is therefore, perhaps, a more reliable indicator of the developmental capa- bilities of the race than are the factual or intellectual accom- plishments of outstanding individual scientists or philos- ophers,-prophets of culture, pilots who, by increasing knowledge, increase sorrow, and who tow the racial craft from its wonted moorings out upon a high sea of storms and uncharted perils where thinking supplants dreaming and realism stifles ideals. Socrates saw in the outstanding mythological characters of the Greek deities a clothing with personality of the ac- cepted virtues and vices of an ancient people and moved to a high plane of genuine reverence in the vision. May we profitably tarry for a while in this skeptical age of shallow intellectualism and dwell for a space apart as we turn these pages in the atmosphere of Greek mythology, in the realm of the heart and soul and simple faith and beauty, unmindful of the crassness and impotence of to-day's mate- rialism, children for a while in a mythical land where yonder mountain top is Olympus and the golden sunset beyond industrialist smokestacks is the couch of Endymion.

It shouldn't be at all hard for her to find a promising position as a nurse when she starts work on the outside. MARTHA WOOD BECK Lila Markham Brogdcn Literary Society 3, Basketball 35 Home Room Treasurer 2, Southgate Literary Society 4, Art Club 4, Secretary 4,5 Library Council 4, Needlework Guild 3, 4- Martha has been nicknamed 'lRose Bud, possibly because of the color of her hair, more probably because of her quietness and charm. Her artistic nature will be a decided asset to her as an interior decorator. 45 Home Room Secretary 3, Treasurer 3. Pleasant and friendly are words which aptly describe Dorsey. His inexhaustible supply of chewing gum only adds to his popularity, just as his habit of dressing well adds to his charm. HARVEY CLYDE BARBEE, JR. Nature Study Club 2, Walter Hines Page Literary Society 3, 4, Stamp Club 3, 43 Football Co-Manager 3g Baseball Man- ager 3g Hi-Rocket 4. Harvey's sense of humor and ready wit are somehow combined with a vast supply of energy.

Besides being the outstanding track star among the fairer sex--a modern Atalanta-Celestia is a good student and a popular one. She likes chewing gum, and surprises us all by wanting to be a doctor. DAVID PAUL BOND 1 Baseball 3, 4, Blackwell Literary Society 2, Hi-Rocket 3. David does not shout his plans from the housetop, but he has a certain tenacity which, combined with the many ideas that accompany his silence, will be a great boon to him in later life. JAMES MONROE BORDEAUX Blackwell Literary Society . . . 43 Home Room President 2, Or- chestra 49 Band 2, 3, Com- mercial Club 2, 3, Cabinet 3g Senior Play Cast. Monk-the quiet chap with thc friendly grin! He could probably give us all a course in How to Make Friends in Ten Easy Lessons. In addi- tion, he knows more than a little about oboes and oboe-ing. 1 1 I fSENIORS ' NELLIE BARBEE BORDEAUX cial Club 4. When wc hear someone say Nellie Bordeauxf' we imme- diately think of a tall, tall girl with immeasurable pep and an unusual amount of friendli- ness. These attributes will go far toward making her a suc- cessful beautifier of the home- lier persons of future years. 1935 Bm I Y I BEATRICE ELAINE BOWEN Athena Literary Society 3, Needlework Guild 45 Commercial Club 4. Beatrice wants to be a nurse, and her character falls well in line. She is a conscientious worker and a pleasant companion -both necessary attributes of the successful nurse. EDWARD E. BOWEN Coiiperativc Class 2, 3, 4. The spirit of the Coop Class has become traditional. Ed is one of those who have helped to make it so. His loyalty, coiip- eration, and enthusiasm have done more than a little to uphold the Coiips' standards.

J. B. is an important person around Durham High, for his I talents are so outstanding that he naturally takes the lead in 1 any venture. MAUDLENE BRANCH O.

A pretty face, a brain that comprehends, and an enviable out- look on life-all these are a part of Maudlene.

Efficiency and dependability are, perhaps, the most outstand- ing traits of Frances' character. The outcome of a piece of work assigned to her is never doubtful-it will be dune, and done well. WILLIAM LYTTLE BRYAN, JR. Walter Ilines Page Literary Society 2, 3, 4.3 Phy-Chem Club 4, Hi-Y 3, 4, Treasurer 4..

Henry Literary Society 2, 3, Needlework Guild 3, 4. Cleols reserved manner, efficiency, and ready smile will make her ambition to be a nurse quickly realized. Even though she is a little shy, she has what it takes to succeed. MARY PAIILINE CABLE O. Henry Literary Society 2, 3. 4, Needlework Guild 2, 3 ,4, Commercial Club 2, 3, 4, Hi- Rocket 4.

He is a tine clarinet player, one of Mr. 'l'waddell's mainstays, and will certainly be missed next year when he goes on to further heights of learning. DOROTHY FRANCES CHEEK Cornelia Spencer Literary So- ciety 2, 3, 4, Needlework Guild 3, 4. Dorothyls hobby is dancing, and more than one young gen- tleman have made dancing with Dot a hobby of theirs. Her eyes could easily be the subject of a long rapturous de- scription. Let it suffice to say that not many males can stand up against that Come-hither look.

Someday welll be buying Rembrandts, Whistlers, and Clapps. FLOYD RUPERT CLARK Cooperative Class 3, 4, Nature Study Club 2. Floyd's enthusiasm for manual training extends into other fields as well, as do his originality and ability. He is the Beau Brummel of the Coop Class, and a dashing one at that.

VIRGINIA LOUISE DOSS Commercial Club 2, 3, 4, Needlework Guild 3, 4,5 Lila Mark- ham Brogden Literary Society 2, 3, 4: Art Club 4,. Once having known Louise, one always desires to see more of her.

PAGE 69 WW -P Class History UST AS THE PEOPLE of the earth throughout the reign of the three dynasties were ever growing in civilization and refinement, so have the members of the Class of nineteen hundred thirty-five advanced always toward their ultimate goal of citizen- ship, knowledge, and culture. In the month of September, nineteen hundred thirty-two, some two hundred or more untrained but enthusiastic Sophomores entered the ranks of Durham High. Eager to prove their abilities and to increase their knowledge and skill, they plunged straightway into the turmoil of activities. Under the leadership of Ben Horack, they so grew in both spirit and strength that, by the fall of nineteen hundred thirty-four, they were well-equipped to accept their responsibilities as Seniors. The graduating classes of previous years had left' behind them records which were hard to better, but this group, having chosen Perry Sloan, Frances Briggs, Clarkson Worth, and Edmund Swindell as officers, set before it the high standards of these classes, and, striving ever toward them, achieved much. One record was established of which the class is justly proud. In scholarship, the percentage of failures was much smaller than that of preceding classes, and, to make the rating even higher, fifteen members of the class distinguished themselves individually for their exceptionally high standing. Much credit for the success of Durham High,s Olympic teams is due to the excellent support offered by the entire class as well as to the ability of its athletes. Tyree jones, gridiron captain, was ably assisted by such stars as Bill Sally, Edgar Williamson, and Ed Woody. Edmund Swindell and Bro Thomas, co-captains, Perry Sloan, and Felix Markham divided honors in basketball. Baszball produced such heroes as James Brame, Adron Morris, Henry Lougee, and Walter Winston. In other athletics, a large number of these gained new honors, while many others, such as S. C. Southerland, Abie Wilson, Louis Silver, Clarkson Worth, and Arlin S:one established their fame. To outdo these displays of manly valor, the girls of the class presented, early in May, a Pageant of Beauty. Cornelia Holloway presided over the court as Queen, while Dorothy Cheek acted as Maid of Honor, and Mary Frances Buchanan, Caroline Breedlove, Mar- garet Holland, and Louise Richards took part as attendants. Eva and Mary Nachamson acted as jesters. Nor did these modern damszls limit themselves to the maidenly pursuits of their ancient Greek ancestresses, for Frances Briggs, Mamie Patrick, Ellen Whitaker, Louise Richards, and Mary Barbour displayed decided athletic ability in more than one field. PAGE 70 -. . iw., ,, ..e,,,KX,Nw,F, In keeping with a tradition of several years' standing, the Class presented in early spring the annual Senior Play. The Hidden Guest, a comedy with a rather mysterious strain, was directed by Mrs. Llewellyn, Mrs. Richardson, and Miss Lewter, with Celestia Bishop and Ben Thaxton in the leading roles, supported by an exceptionally good cast. The artistic phases of each undertaking were well developed through the great abil- ity of Fred Hunter, Claire Price, Mary Lee Ramsay, and Wreathe Clapp. In music, Katherine Mangum, Mary Eleanor Krummel, Melba Pifer, Irvin Peed, Ben Thaxton, Cornelius Webster, Willis Carpenter, Osborne Stallings, and Billy Newton hold great promise of future attainment. 5 The Hi-Rocket, the bi-monthly newspaper published by the student body, due to the ingenuity of its editor, Ben Horack, and his board of able assistants, and to the remark- able business ability of Bill Franck and Woodard Russell, advertising managers, has ad- vanced a great deal beyond the already excellent publication of last year. Toward the close of the year, the attention of the entire student body was focused on the Messenger, which was edited by Lottie Lewis, editor-in-chief, Mildred Patterson, literary editor, Claire Price, art editor, and Fred Rippy, business manager. The two teams which represented Durham High in the 193 5 Aycock Debating Con- test were composed of Linwood Turner and Bernard Dworsky, Seniors, and Betty Lloyd Tandy and Jay Hubbell, Juniors. All four participants displayed unusual oratorical ability 5 the decision was lost only after a spirited struggle. As leaders in every phase of school life-in scholarship, in athletics, and in all extra- curricula activities--the members of the Class of '3 5 have, while receiving full benefit themselves contributed much to the common good. Fully prepared in any emergency, they have done their share toward raising the standards of Durham High. Now, hav- ing completed their courses, they relinquish their position to those who are pressing close behind. Thus, the final activity of this Senior Class approaches-Graduation. One step more and we shall no longer be Durham High students. With hearts filled with gratitude to those who have given to us so much, with a somewhat triumphant feeling, and with many a pang of regret, we leave these halls forever. We hope that the Class of nineteen hun- dred thirty-five will not soon be forgotten, for we, its members, shall not soon forget.

SENIOR PLAY was presented hy the Class of '35 on the night of March 15. 'llhe story chosen was a rather mysterious comedy, The Hidden Guestf' The cast, chosen after careful consideration and preparatory Work, Was as follows: Minnie Mayfield, Doris Chestnut5 Bert judkins, Ben ThaXton3 Melons, Mary Frances Buchanang lluliner, Monroe BordeauX3 Ruby Mayfield, Celestia Bishop5 Mr. R. xl. -Iuds kins, -lohn l,entzg Mrs. Barrington, Ruth Durhamg Nellie Trotwell, lflvelyn Hallg Briggs, Billy Rich5 Tad VVilliams, Cornelius VVelister3 and McCarty, jeff VVilson. 'l'he scene was laid in the home of Miss Minnie Mayfield Where, in the course of twentyffour hours, Bert .Iudkins Went through his fraternity initiation, fell desperately in love, captured an escaped convict, and recovered some long-lost lnonds. Meanwhile Melons, the deaf and superstitious servant, added greatly to the complications hy com- municating with the spirit of the deceased Uncle Timothy, which spirit Was, in reality, none other than llulmer, the convict. 'l'he success of the performance was due largely to the splendid coaching of Mrs. Llewellyn, Miss Lewter, and Mrs. Richardson.

Frances Markham Briggs Anna Mildred Patterson Lottie Sharp Lewis James Fred Rippy, Jr. PAGE 79 1 Oracle of the Gods fGlass Prophecy? 'i HE GREEK TRAGEDY, which I was witnessing, became so dull and uninteresting that I soon fell asleep. I know not how long I slept, for, when I awakened, I found myself amid new surroundings. The hard wooden bench in the Dionysius theatre at the Acropolis had been replaced by a soft cushioned chair in a dimly lighted building. Upon glancing downward, I was startled, for silken garments replaced my former coarse- spun toga. A loud voice cut the stillness of the large room, and as I gazed before me, amazing pictures, flashing on a screen, fascinated me. The first to hold my attention was a Know all, See all News Reel presented by Ben Thaxton, Inc. My interest was further aroused by Mildred Patterson and Ray Brooks, who, as missionaries in Japan, were teaching the kiddies in three easy lessons how to win scholastic honors. Cornelia C Miss Americavj Holloway, after divorcing her fifth husband, had de- cided that marrying her lawyer, Briant Whitfield, would save them both lots of money and trouble. J. Fred Rippy, Speaker of the House, made his famous speech, To Be or Not to Be before the Eighty-fifth Congress. Behind Mr. Rippy was seen the sleeping form of Ed O'Neal, who, when awakened, gave an excellent talk on Safety Rules in Driving. Lonita Woodall, a horticulturalist who specializes in Roses,,' gave her opinion on the farm situation. The rapidly flashing reel carried me to the Olympics, held for the first time in the Cultural Area of the South in the stadium jointly owned by the University of North Carolina and Duke University. Perry Sloan and Mamie Patrick thrilled the huge crowds there with their southern drawls and fast tennis playing. A brief fashion show by Claire Price was next presented before a pleased audience at Miami. Claire's daring, sophisticated styles have thrilled the women on every conti- nent. Particularly appealing are those illustrated in the magazine, How to be Stylish though Portly, which is written, owned, and edited by Mary Frances Buchanan. Billy Bryan, in an effort to set a new altitude record, simply stood up in his plane and all previous records fell. Mayor Clarkson Wcsrth presented him with a medalfor this wonderful achievement. However, Mr. Bryan was still up in the air about it all. Mary Lee Ramsay won first place in an art contest with her latest landscape painting, Love in Bloom. 5, A young roofing man, Thomas Young, had fallen from the Empire State Building while re-roofing it and received only a scratch. In an interview, he exclaimed, Boy, can I take itlv PAGE 80 The advertisements were headed by that of Dot Cheek's Popularity School for backward girls. Her faculty was composed of Sara Jane Proctor and Helen Wilkerson. Lervely toothpaste was advertised by John Lentz' famous toothpaste grin. Bob Thorne's orchestra, consisting of Ozzie Stallings, Bill Roberson, Fred Edwards and Bill Newton, presented a musical skit featuring Ferra McLean, vocalist. Mr. Thorne played his popular tune, Though I'm only a Thornfej on Your Rose Bush. The two Nachamson sisters, Eva and Mary, gave their latest achievement, a famous tap-dance done while standing on their heads. Ed Fortune displayed his natural talent for comedy. fNo assistants were necessaryj. The coming attractions showed scenes from Carmen with the leading roles filled by Mary Eleanor Krummel and Irvin Peed. The supporting cast was composed of Billy Sally, Louis Silver, Woody Russell, Dick Gaddy, and Ed Swindell. A preview of The Barker with Mary Frances King playing the title role was also shown. Minor roles were portrayed by Frances Briggs, Vidia Burke Matthews, and Jane Hooper. A soft light filled the theatre for a few moments, giving me a chance to get a better view of my new environment. I noticed a small hand waving at me, but I had to look twice before I was able to detect little Marian Coleman in the crowd. She called out to me that she had just come from seeing Ruth Durham and Margaret Holland off on their non-stop flight to southern Africa, where they planned to renew their man hunt. I was amazed to hear of my friends of the old world here in this dazzling new world. Sud- denly, the lights went out again and the new film absorbed my interest. The feature I Tank I go Home with Florence Jaffe occupied my time for the next sixty minutes. Billy Rich and jeff Wilson as the two heroes were magnificent. When Mr. Wilson finally won the fair maid, the audience was once more able to breathe. When the film was finished, the manager rushed onto the stage to announce that Miss Doris Chesnut, with the able assistance of Eleanor Stone, had finally been granted a patent on her Perennial Chewing Gum. Then I heard a terrific, rumbling noise as the walls of the theatre began to crumble and fall. I was unable to move as I noticed one of the massive lighting fixtures directly above me falling. I opened my eyes to find myself back in the Greek Amphitheatre with my friend trying to arouse me. The tragedy was ended, as were my dreams of another life.

Q. 'Ei S2 E Junior Class History HEN the world was new and Olympian deities reigned over all, heroes first came into being. Some were outstanding in the arts, some in athletics, and some in scholastic achievement. Whatever the field of activity, the heroes strove to uphold the high standards set by their predecessors and to rival their accomplishments. This aim the Juniors of Durham High School have tried to carry out. John Newsom, Doris King, Eugenia Speed, and Christina Changaris have piloted the class through this year of achievement. That they have been successful is portrayed by their records. Such members as Helen Capsalis, Christina Changaris, Lily Darnell, Jack Eubanks, Lorelle Fillers, Chesterleen Gibson, Roberta Hardee, Carolyn Henderson, Gertrude Isenhour, Marian Johnson, Helen Knight, Virginia Mason, Ernestine Newsom, William Piatt, Irene Price, Eugenia Speed, and Dean Robertson have upheld the standard in scholarship. The class as a whole has had a lower percentage of failures than any other Junior Class in the history of the school. V Betty Lloyd Tandy and Jay Hubbell, through sustained effort, won for themselves a berth on the Aycock Debating Team and a place in the Hall of Famous High School Personages. Likewise, we can boast of the musical talent of such students as Harry Boyd, Sam McPherson, Helen Brantley, Lois Faucette, Florence Lockhart, Louise Boney, Mary Jean Bronson, Louise Norris, and Mary Fern Coble, and of the artistic touch of Christina Changaris, Sarah Andrews, Cornelia Jones, Juanita Rich, Nancy Hackney, Paula Powell, Marian Carroll, and Eunice Dowdy. The Hi-Rocket, the MESSENGER, and all literary organizations have received inval- uable support from the class of '36, Realizing that the development of brain and brawn go hand in hand, the class has entered Whole-heartedly into all athletics. The record set by the school could never have been' reached had it not been for the loyal support of Langhorne Hobgood, Dante Berini, Cecil Lucas, John Woody, and many others. The girls, too, were active in this field of accomplishment. The Junior girls won the Intramural Volley Ball Championship and gave material support to basketball, tennis, swimming, and baseball. Such names as those of Lillie Duke Clements, Virginia Mason, Connie Welsh, Eugenia Speed, Jeannette Snipes, and Doris Matthews were familiar in sports write-ups. Many Junior girls participated in the May Day festivities, Frances Borland, Mary Jean Bronson, Lillie Duke Clements, and Billie Warren represented the class as attendants in the Court. As a tribute to the Senior Class, the Class of '36 held an enjoyable dance in the spring, which was a feature of the social life of the school. In retrospect, the Juniors realize that their past achievements have set for them a standard which must be upheld, and are ready and eager to accept the responsibilities laid down by the outgoing Senior Class.

Sophomore Class History HE UNTRIED HEROES of the Class of '37 have already begun to test their skill. After a few short weeks spent in adjusting themselves to their new environment, they began to display to those who had already attained a higher standing their aptitude in scholarship, their prowess in athletics, and their talents in the cultural arts. With Ed Dunham, president, assisted by Robert Rippy, vice-president, Martha Anne Young, sec- retary, and Jessie Ormond, treasurer, setting the pace for the class, the entire membership soon fell into line and advanced rapidly and without hesitation. The membership of the various literary societies was almost doubled by the entrance of the Sophomores. Many of these heroes-to-be joined other clubs-Music Clubs, Needlework Guild, Hi-Rocket and Messenger Staffs, and other extra-curricular activities. They have entered whole-heartedly into the activities of these organizations, some rose to recognition in their respective groups. Mary Malone accepted the presidency of the Handicraft Club and Kate Lee Harris became Vice-President of the Stamp Club. A large number of Sophomores showed their eagerness to become better public speakers by taking part in various Public Speaking Events. Rose Kueffner, Rolande Widgery, and John Johnson represented the Sophomore Class in the Keesler Memorial Contest. In music and in art this class has been outstanding. Eugene Germino, Robert Rippy, Marshall Turner, George Whitley, Margaret Motley, Mary Cousins, Mozette Rigsbee, Martha Slayton, Edna Lloyd, Hubert Elder, Lucille Veasey, and Norma Lee Goodwin have displayed great Vocal or instrumental talent, while in art Carol Seeley and Warren Pope have shown marked ability. Although they were busily becoming adjusted to their new surroundings, the Soph- omores never forgot the real purpose of their sojourn in high SCh00l. Marjorie Davis, Mary Diamond, Joan Eppei-sen, Norma Lee Goodwin, Elizabeth Gregory, Kate Lee Harris, Rose Kueifner, Lois Lee, Raymond McDermott, Anne Mills, Jessie Ormond, Carol Seeley, Carolyn Umstead, Robert WetmOre, and Lucille Veasey maintained an A average on all their work. This high percentage of honor roll students, combined with the low percentage of failures, has been a source Of great jOy t0 the faeulty, to the admin- istration, and to the parents. At the end of the first reckoning period, the Sophomores stood second in the school, the Seniors surpassing them by only a slight margin. Both boys and girls participated in every athletic event held by the school. The Sophomore boys provided active competition for the Varsity Teams, and although only such stars as Balford Hackney, George Spransey, Richard Pierce, Robert Fortune, and Eugene Luquire were particularly outstanding, many Others h01d great promise Of future development. In girls' athletics Carol Price, Jimmie Southgate, and Virginia Roberts were leaders, winning repeated honors for themselves and for their teams- Margaret Ann Knight, Lois Lee, Elizabeth Teer, and Mildred Whitaker were selected because of their grace and beauty to represent the class in the May COL1rt- Jessie Ormond and Marjorie Davis acted as heralds. The commendable record already established by this class holds great promise for the future.

R Cooperative Class History HE COOPERATIVE CLASS of Durham High, the first organization of its kind in North Carolina, offers excellent opportunities to those boys in the school who flnd it necessary to work and who wish to continue their education. Its members, throughout the years, have applied themselves whole-heartedly in an effort to reap full advantage, zuui,accordingly,theirstandards,idealg and records of achievenaent have been high. Honesty, unselfish service, cooperation and good fellowship have always been pro- moted by the Coops. In every school undertaking as well as their own ventures they have lived up to what their name implies. The boys of this group work in varied industries throughout the city, their jobs re- quiring from twenty to more than thirty-five hours each week. Accordingly, they have worked out a system which enables them to take courses in the high school at times most convenient to them. In addition to the regular curricula work, Miss Rogers holds classes in English and Social Sciences for the Coop boys alone. For the purpose of meeting the moral, mental, physical, economic, and social needs of every member, the Cooperative Class conducts varied activities throughout the year. Of these, one of the most important is the annual Coroso Play. Polly of the Circus, which was presented in the fall of this year, was one of the most successful produced in ynnetnne. , The initiation of the freshman Coops is, likewise, a traditional event, and one which not only the old members but also the new enjoy thoroughly, despite the fact that the lafifer generally go through the secret rites with much trepidation. A turkey dinner, served by the freshmen to the other Coops, is another annual form oif entertainment. On this occasion, the director and cast of the most recent Coroso Play Are guests of the class. Following the dinner, these present excerpts from the play, which make up a large part of the program. In the spring two social events are outstanding-a one-act play presented with the aid of girls from the Commercial Club, and a Social held at Camp Sacarusa in honor of the Coop girl friends. The play presented this year was The New Bride by Lois Howell. , N The members of the Cooperative Class are justly proud of their achievements, of their educational and social progress, of their loyal alumni, and of their outstanding seniors, and they feel that their success is due largely to the inspiring leadership of Miss Maude Rogers, who, as their director, has guided them wisely and well.

PAGE 1 I 3 -v- ii F ' W' 0 The HiyRoeket Advisers: MISS lVlARGUERI'I'E M. HERR MR. B. L. DEBRUYNE MR. HARVEY T. GIBSON The Hi-Rocket, a medium for self-development growing out of pupil initiative and effort, is today a major student activity. It has improved steadily its content, standards, and service since it was first issued by the Class of 1921, when Roger B. Davis was edmMmmkQmdCmlHdgwibmmwsmwgm.Tmpwmwunmwdwhhgmd Wannamaker, a member of the Class of 1922. Today it is published bi-weekly by a staff of one hundred members, chosen for interest in or fitness for the work of editing, financing, or circulating the paper. The en- tire staff meets once a week with the advisers for general instruction. A smaller working unit, the editorial board, is directly responsible for the final work on each issue. 'Thatthe paper nnghtrenderthe nnmt efecnve servke posdbhg the ednor, Ben Horack, invited seniors to suggest new ways and means that might be constructive and practical in interpreting the school to the public. The innovation of the eight-page paper made possible the addition of more illustrations and features, and a general improvement inthe make-up. A sports page, built and supervised by the editor, has been the most out- standing contribution of the year. I Because these changes required additional money, the enterprising business managers, Bill Franck and Woodard Russell, with the advice of administrators and business men, launched a comprehensive advertising program. Through the cooperation of the mer- chants in buying feature advertisements, of the art department in furnishing attractive posters, and of the public speaking class in giving timely sales talks, the staff has been able to achieve its purpose. This year, in the annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Contest of which the Hi-Rocket has been a member for ten years, the paper for the fourth time was given first- class rating among schools of its class. At the convention in New York the staff was represented by three delegates, Ben Horack, Bill Franck, and Mr. Gibson, faculty adviser. In the group meetings conducted by student leaders, Ben Horack was invited to speak on Fitting the Paper to the School,', and Bill Franck on New Schemes in Advertising. The Thomas Hume Cup, awarded annually since 1926 by the University of North Carolina to the school Winning first place, is in possession of Durham High School for the third time. The staff of 1933-34, headed by Mary Toms Newsom, editor-in-chief, and James Cousins, business manager, deserves credit for this recognition. , In reviewing the activities and achievements of the year, the members of the Class of 1935 realize that in the future they will look back with pride on the innovations which have been niade dns yean PAGE I I4 IMCKET VQIISTAFP I E iz.-X -.IS THE . .,,, .zlsl-2,955 f px 4 v 1,3 GLASSON BILL PRANCK IN RAY BROOKS 'W00bY RIISSEL.I.

QUIN'I'ON HoL'roN THE STUDENT COUNCIL of Durham High School, following the example set by its enthusiastic president, Ben Horack, got quickly into harness and gained truly surprising results. The six committees appointed by the president-namely, scholarship, student games, student problems, trafiic, auditorium program, and school improvements-made many constructive changes in the school and its work. Two representatives from each home room were chosen to form sub-committees which aided in carrying out the Work. This year, more than ever before, the student council took over problems of student and school relationship, and, as a result, it noticeably raised the morale of the whole school. lts members feel that they have gained a long step in true self-government, and that they have made a lasting foundation for further advance.

Under his capable supervision the choral groups have gained honors i ' A which, a few years ago, seemed scarcely possible. The Glee Club this year contains one hundred ener- getic and aggressive musicians, who give freely of their talents for programs and concerts both in Dur- ham and in neighboring cities. In recognition of their work, many of these students have beeninvited to become regular members of prominent church choirs in the city. Four of the choruses' most brilliant graduates are Lucille Brown '32, Euticus Renn '33, M. T. Cousins '33, and Grace Carrington, '34. Miss Brown was awarded a fellowship to the Julliard Institute in New York, where she was a favorite protegee of Madame Sembrich until the death of the great diva in the past winter. Since then, Miss Brown has l made her entre into opera, in which she filled a Iwi-Essex W. P- 'I'wf-mmu prominent r6le. Mr. Renn is now bass soloist of the VVestminster Choir of the famous Choir School of Princeton, New jersey. This past year the Glee Club has added another member to that same choir school. Miss Grace Carrington, who had won a scholarship to the school, was admitted into the choir proper as a prominent contralto. Last but not least, Mr. Cousins was chosen as first trumpeter in the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra in which position he continues today. Other notables in the choruses, who deserve much credit for their talent and musical ability are Katherine Mangum, Irvin Peed, Mellwa Pifer, Louise Boney, Linwood Turner, Ben Thaxton, and Cornelius Webster. Individuals, however, were not the only ones to be so distinguished, for the choral groups, have likewise attained great heights. In the state contest the Mixed Chorus, Boys' Chorus, Girls' Chorus, and the Male Quartet won cups, and the Girls' Trio was given the highest rating awarded schools. f The school wishes to express to the public its sincere thanks for its generous support and earnest cooperation, and to Professor Twaddell its heartfelt appreciation for the work of which he is the guiding hand.

Keen interest was displayed throughout the weeks prior to the event, not only by the participants but by the student body as a whole. On Friday, March 22, the negative team met Raleigh in Fayetteville, while in Raleigh the affirmative duo clashed with Fayetteville. The Durham High debaters made an exceptionally creditable showing and repre- sented the school admirably, but lost by a two to one decision in both cases. Not without a struggle, however, were these victories gained by the opposing teams, for Durham put up a spirited and commendable iight.

BLAKE 'LHR MEMBERS of the Blackwell Literary Society had, at the beginning of this year, a record of twenty-nine years' standing to uphold. The principal aim of this society has always been to emphasize public speaking and to develop ability in that line. Due to much well-supervised practice in making public appearances, the members of the Blackwell Society have gained poise and ease. These boys have been able, by holding night meetings, to arouse a spirit which has been invaluable in furthering the work of the society. As an incentive to do better work, the boy who has been voted the most valuable member has his name engraved on a perennial plaque, which has been introduced this year and will repose in one of Durham High School's trophy cases.

The atmosphere of companionship begun at this gathering marked the activi- ties of the society throughout the year. Originality and native talent were given free rein in the programs, which were coma posed, for the most part, of short plays, recitations, debates, and talks. For variety, during the second semester, the Lila Markham Brogden and the Cornelia Spencer Societies held a joint meeting which, members of both organizations agreed, was very enj oyable. Many of the girls have procured the society pins,,w,hich Will, in future years, remind them of the delightful contacts formed during their high school days.

Yet its members not only uphold past standards, but establish new customs and records which malie the work more interesting and worthwhile. The large membership affords a wealth of talent which is of value in preparing interesting programs3 it olifers an excellent opportunity to form diversified contacts and to develop leaders. Maiiy members have been prominent in school activities. Among these Betty Lloyd Tandy, a member of the I935 Aycock Debating Team, and Roberta Hardee, winner of the I934 VVoman's Club Recitation Contest, are outstanding.

HENRY LITERARY SOCIETY can honestly say that all the years since its organization have been successful. This year has been no exception to that rule. After the new members had been duly initiated at a special party given in the Duke Park, each found her place and entered eagerly into the activities of the group. The O. Henry's common aim with the other literary societies is to offer training in public speaking, reading, dramatics, and parliamentary procedure. Their success in achieving these aims is proved by the fact that they have given to the school many speakers, singers, and debaters whose talents have been further developed through their work in this club. - In presenting the regular bi-weekly programs, the members found it practical to sep- arate into 'three groups-Seniors, juniors, and Sophomores. The smaller groups could work together more easily, presenting more enjoyable and worthwhile programs. In ad- dition to taking part in this regular work, each member displayed a greater interest and made some individual contribution to the general progress of the group. It can be truly said that every girl has done her part toward assuring the success of this society. The O. Henry is proud of such outstanding members as Marjorie Davis, Sue Moore, and Doris King whose work in dramatic recitation has been most commendable, of Inez Leathers, whose musical ability is great, and of Alice Rowe, who has so efiiciently aided Miss Lewter in the library. 1 In order to encourage more active participation in the work, Mrs. Swindell, the ad- viser, olfered a medal to that senior whose work for a period of three years was voted by her fellow-members, which has played an important part in making this organization outstanding, to be most worthwhile. A spirit of friendly competition has thus been aroused. The friendly spirit, enthusiasm, and energy of the O. Henry members are qualities which cannot help but carry them far. Having completed another year of successful ven- ture, they are looking forward to those ahead when they will still uphold the standards and ideals learned through their literary society work. , FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS 'SECOND SEMESTER Marguerite McClermy. . . .......

FOSTER HE CARR LITERARY SOCIETY was organized in September, 1928, under the advisership of Mr. W. T. Taylor. At that time it was named for the late Mr. julian S. Carr, pioneer of Durham, founder of the hosiery mills of the city, and prom- inent benefactor of Trinity College in its early days. There were, at that time, eighteen members who Worked together so actively and energetically that they gave their society an impetus which has assured her permanent success. The Carr Literary Society of 1935 has just completed a year of equal achievement. Working with Mr. Foster, the members have taken a real interest not only in the work of their own society, but also in the undertakings of the entire student body. They have tried to arouse a keen spirit of sportsmanship in every phase of school life and work, and they have succeeded admirably. The aims of this group have always been, since the time of its first organization, to further public-speaking ability and to familarize itself with parliamentary procedure. Accordingly, at the regular bi-weekly programs frequent debates, instructive talks, and varied discussions of interest to the students have been made. In this way, since the meet- ings are conducted according to the correct parliamentary procedure, both these principles are constantly put into practice. In addition, these boys learn to become better students, better citizens, and better business men. The pleasure derived from membership in the Carr Literary Society is not its only benefit, nor is it the greatest. For, having become familiarized with the principles, ideals, and standards of such a group, the members are better prepared to meet, with intelligence and ease, situations in public life. The members of this group feel that they are more nearly fitted to face the world and to accept their responsibilities as citizens.

In accordance with this theme, the members have, through their programs and out- side work, laid great stress on the cultural arts. The stories of several great operas and the lives of modern musicians have been studied, and other varied topics of interest and value to the students have been discussed. The ingenuity and enthusiasm of this small group has more than made up for its lack of size. The Athena Literary Society feels well gratified with the success of their organization.

In addition to the literary programs there have been several delightful social meet- ings: one at the Y. W. C. A., one at the home of Mira Barber, one of the members of the society, and one at the University Lake, near Chapel Hill.

Durham opened the season against Oxford High on September I4. Though rather slow in getting started, Coach Stuessy's proteges flashed power in the second half which gained for them a lead of 21-O.

In the first quarter Durham drove down the field for a touchdown but failed to tally an extra point. Greensboro then un- leashed a forty yard pass which was good for six points. In the third period the Bulldogs duplicated their early performance to mark up a six point lead, which was matched by Greensboro's tally late in the game.

The veterans of the 1934 team, Edmund Swindell, James Thomas, Perry Sloan, Foy Roberson, and Balford Hackney, formed excellent material for a nucleus around which the team was built. Several new men, among whom Markham and Hobgood were especially outstanding, arose to fill any gaps in the line-up. After several weeks of gruelling practice, Coach Stuessy hit upon the following starting line-up: Langhorne Hobgood, center, Edmund Swindell, right forward, Felix Markham, left forward, James Thomas, right guard, and Foy Roberson, left guard. Very capable reserves were found in Perry Sloan, forward, and Bob Fortune, guard. Swindell and Thomas captained the team throughout the season. l.....

Rocky Mount, Fayetteville, and Lynchburg succumbed by wide margins, leaving the Bulldogs with a chance for state honors provided they defeated Raleigh in a return battle. This they failed to do, going down in defeat, I3-IO. Though lacking in scoring thrills, this game proved the most exciting of the year, due to the fight and determination shown by both teams. With this second defeat by Raleigh, the basketeers closed a season in which they proved themselves well worthy of a championship which they narrowly missed winning.

Handicapped by a lack of equipment, the boys, inexperienced but willing to work, were soon rounded out into a team of game lighters by Coach Gibson and Captain Julian. Captain julian was ably assisted in the fighting by Luquire, Brogden, Rose, Up- church, Spaulding, Jones, Morris, Newsom, and Earp. Luquire, who was Durham's only representative in the state tournament, did not win a championship, but performed well and made an impressionable showing. The 1935 Boxing Team will be remembered as one whose clean-spirited fighting did much to arouse interest in a sport which is, in Durham High, still in its infancy. VVilson 6 .,..

The swimming team was composed of Ellen Whitaker, Beth White, Ann Mills, Jessie Ormond, Lillie Duke Clements, Connie Welsh, Mary Nachamson, Eva Nacham- son, Mary O'Brient, Louise Smith, Mary Barbour, Dorothy Green, and Edna Moore. All of these girls were given awards for their fine work. Carol Price and Frances Briggs won the all school tennis tournament, for which they were given a letter and a star respectively. A tennis ladder was also arranged for each class. The top three in each case composed the class team and met with the other teams in an intramural tournament. ' The most colorful of all sporting events was the annual May Day, in which students from all the city schools came to perform before the pulchritude of Durham High School. Cornelia Holloway, as May Queen, with the aid of Dorothy Cheek, Maid-of-Honor, reigned over the beautiful festival. Those attending the Queen were: Louise Richards, Margaret Holland, Mary Frances Buchanan, and Caroline Breedlove from the Senior Class, Lillie Duke Clements, Frances Borland, Billie Warren, and Mary Jean Bronson from the Junior Class, and Margaret Ann Knight, Lois Lee, Elizabeth Teer, and Mil- dred VVhitaker from the Sophomore Class. The heralds were Jessie Ormond and Mar- jorie Davis, and the court jesters were Eva and Mary Nachamson. The closing athletic event, which came in the late Spring, was the annual Field Day, in which the girls displayed their prowess as modern Atalantas. i PAGE 167 May Court May Queen-CoRNEL1A HOLLOWAV Maid of Honor-Dorothy Cheek Senior .flllerulurzts--Mary Frances Buchanan, Margaret Holland, Caroline Breed love, Louise Richards.

Jay Hubbell andij. C. Rutledge, Pageites, nobly upheld the affirmative of the query: Resolved: The New Deal has proved a failure. Woodard Russell and Nelson Strawbridge, in- genious spokesmen for the Blackwell, defended the negative with such in- finite resource and sagacitytliat any opponent would have bowed before their mighty onslaught. Presenting, witl1 a finejimperious spirit, their co- lossal, gigantic, STUPENDOUS, DY- NAMIC arguments concerning this crucial governmental controversy, in fine, lucid phrases which.. displayed both their perspicuity and their per- spicacity, the Blackwell team swept triumphantly toward victory. The Page representatives, having tenaciously withstood the attack, ac- cepted their defeat magnanimously. Mrs. Gholson, Mr. Holton, and Mr. Phillips served as judges for this historic contest.

At some future date it is hoped the other rooms will receive similar benefit. - T DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER HEARD IN AUDITORIUM Young Grass is Subject Professor Quinton Holton of Dur- ham High spoke to an assembled audi- ence of Durham High students on Friday, May third, 1935 CA.D.D on the subject of young grass. j He took the grass in front of our little red school-house as an example. He stated that it is very injurious to grass to trample it down unmercifully. He then launched into a biological dis- cussion of grass so that no one would know what he was saying. ln plain English Cso the ordinary Durham High student canunderstand itl he stated that grass does not have as strong and as flexible a backbone as is needed to withstand the weight and pressure of the human t00tSy.

Horack addressed the stu- dent body today on how-l-got- through- school- without - going -to- class-and-why-you-can't. The stu- dents were most fortunate to have so noted an authority discuss this subject with them and received much val- uable information. Mr. Horack stated that the easiest way to avoid classes was to get an Etlitor-in-Chief tacked in front of your name. fAnd still we can't find an editor for the Lo-Rochelfl But since there are not enough newspapers to go'around, some ofthe studentsfil will have to stick to crooning and officiating at track meets. Ben Thax- ton and Pride Brown offered addi- tional discussion of these excellent ll1Cih0ClS. , By tl1e time tl1e program was com- pleted, the students had all missed half of French Class anyway, but, inspired by Mr. Horack's inspiring address, they managed to get out of Englisl1, too. Which proves to some extent how really brilliant these lads and lassies are. 4 Other reasons were rendered, all of which were unfortunately unheeded. Our most honored principal ren- dered son1e announcements and de- nouncements, which everyone enjoyed. The principal announcement consisted of a statement that school would be adjourned at 12:30 o'clock E. S. T. next day. When the audience was quieted down and the smoke cleared away, only one chandelier and one end of one radiator were dislodged from their connections. The chande- lier happened to hit Harvey Barbee on the head, so no one was injured fchandelier excludedl. Among the denouncements, one stood out. This consisted of the statement that it ain't polite to make so much noise in audi- torium. The program was then turned , out to the fourth period class. , ang. .

Why Read the Lo-Rocket After long and careful consider- ation, dear readers, we are prepared to give you the real low-down on why you should read the Lo-Rocker. Of course, you're probably wondering how it got here in the first place, but that's nobody's business but our own. The main purpose of this most ex- cellent publication is to make you read the ads. Right pretty, aren't they? Some pretty swell guys gave 'em to us, too. fNot one cent was paid for this statementlb But since you're reading it anyway, we might as well tell you that it's sup- posed to be the HUMOR SECTION, so if you want to laugh, now's your chance.

The Lentzes have held complete control of the Cafeteria Cash Register for several years. One Lentz, Lentz I, has passed on into the Great Beyond, and another Lentz, Lentz II, is scheduled to leave this year. The third Lentz, Lentz III, is supposed to pass on the next year, but we, personally, have our doubts.

The Lentz dynasty is quite popular around D. H.

DURHAM HIGH STUDENTS INVOLVED IN LAW SUIT A very interesting and hotly con- tested law suit took place last week in the courts of Durham between the editor of the humor QFD column of one of the city's important school newspapers and a group of people in- cluding Mildred Whitaker, Ernest Byrd, Helen Noell, Jessie Ormond and several other distinguished students who were suing above mentioned editor for libel, stating that their reputation, positions, and happiness were ruined by statements set forth in said newspaper. The case involved a sum of 31,000,000 to be divided among the plaintiffs, should they win it. TEN YEARS I-IENCE 1935 - 1945 Mr. R. G.

Eleanor Stone, light-weight champ, out-jumped her heavier opponent, Mary F. Buchanan, by two jumps. She had it on the jump. By virtue of out-jumping Betty Lloyd Tandy, Frances Borland jumped into third place with a score of ten jumps. A large crowd of Eve spectators wit- nessed this inspiring spectacle of jumping pulchritude. Urged on by their beloved coach, Miss Maude Rogers, the girls jumped their ways into the hearts of the five spectators. Entries were: Seniors, Buchanan, Borland, Tandy, Sophomores,--can't jump. fNo ropeb. Field officials were: Miss Lelia Belle Hampton, Mrs. High Water Richardson, and Mrs. Belle Cutie-pie Gholson. FESHION FLESHES Well, Spring is finally on the way and with it all the lovely new styles that are made especially for young debutantes and sub-debutantes, and those who would like to be a debu- tante, even if there is no hope. The new colors are stunning-radish red, beet black, and freckle brown, also many new and different fabrics such as synthetic asparagus, unmitigated baysced and cataclysmic cotton. All the spring and summer dresses have an upward trend, most of them being belted in at the knees and some of the more daring of New York's society are wearing neckless and armless en- sembles-very ducky they are, too. Hats are going up and down. One of the cutest tricks of the season is a hat with a button that releases I2 rabbits one at a time. Rabbits sent in plain, sealed envelopes on request- ioc extra. fAl1 colors, excluding sal- ENGLISH CLASSES MAKE ATTRACTIVE NOTEBOOKS All Senior English Classes have taken up, as their May project, the making of Literature notebooks on the subject of Baby Ray, modern classical novel. Particularly good work was done by Ernest Byrd, who gained school- wide recognition for the mediocrity of his work. He was congratulated on the pedantical Csee N. Websterj qualities displayed throughout the book, especially upon the lined and unlined paper sections. His choice of magazine cut-outs was most usual, the best one being a portrait of a large man in colonial dress, designated fsee above notel as Mr. Ray. The author cut it out real good, amputating only one of the gentleinen's feet. fBaby Ray's pa ain't in the story anyhow, so what difference does one foot make?J The winner was awarded a cup and John Newsom, second place, got a saucer. Of course we realize that Mr. Newsom is only a Junior, but can we help it if he's always getting ahead of Laprade, Stone, Ramsey, Juniors, mon pink.j himself?

Burke, today ruled Jeff Wilson, out- standing marbler, ineligible for the sesquicentennial invitational marble meet held annually at Greensboro College. His ineligibility was due to his professional standing, due to the fact that he had, in grannnar school, played, on one occasion for keeps due to his lack of supplies, and a de- sire to further his marble-pushing ability. Due to this decision on the part of the coaches, Durham High could not enter the competition. However, the championship was automatically granted to the Durham High Poodles due to the fact that they were the only ones to answer the most gracious in- vitation extended by Greensboro Col- lege. To procure more supplies of toys, agates, and chalk-for-drawing-rings- on-the-gym-floor, the three coaches held an exhibition match, at which a silver offering amounting to thirteen cents and one button, Qnot including sales taxj was taken. The laurels of victory went to El- mer D. Burke who gleefully ex- claimed, lt was a great fight, ma, and Pm pickled tink that I won it.

Hill Pepperson did some nice paddling to place well in the overhand splash. The diving contest was especially thrilling as Hick Taddy for was it Baddyij missed his step and landed flat on his stomach, splashing a tre- mendous amount of water from the pool. fThe water had to be turned on to H11 the pool againj The ever- efhcient Professor deBruyne raised his umbrella, to save the crowd from ruin, but, despite this protection, Epperson's new swimming trunks got all splashed. Coach Waddler was well pleased with the team's fine showing. RIGID LUNCH LINE INSTALLED AT SCHOOL Brown and Barbee Chosen Line Captains , As a result of the lunch line com- mittee meeting held yesterday, an en- tirely new system has been planned and will bc put into effect in the near future. The new system is one of rules and regulations adopted to suit the student body. At the ringing of the first bell all Senior homerooms will march slowly down the hall following the chalked line on the floor to lunch. They will be led by their respective home-room teachers. After the Senior homerooms, the others follow in much the same fashion except that the home- room teachers march behind in order to encourage the undergrads on to The Young Men's Shop J. A.
