Foreword HE class of 1937 has a privilege not to be experienced by any other graduating class of our time. We stand on the threshold herald- ing a new century of public education and at the same time gratefully acknowledging the heritage bestowed upon us by the old. In this connection, we the publication staff of the MESSENGER, invite you to visit a Carolina plantation of the late Colonial period in order to enjoy the regal hospitality for which great planters became famous, and to glimpse the beginning of education in our State. As you wend your way along the rugged plantation road, large fields of tobacco, cotton, rice, or corn interspersed with vast forests of timber meet your gaze. From a cluster of small cabins grinning negro Mammies and swarms of woolly pickaninnies greet you. Among plantation laborers you meet overseers, slaves, blacksmiths, carpenters, shoemakers, and other craftsmen. On a little knoll shaded by large trees stands the Big House, a spacious two-story building in which the planter with his large family dwells. While here, you revel in such sports and recreations as horse-racing, fox-hunting, cock-fighting, shooting, fishing, picnics, barbecues, and dancing. At the Big House you meet the private tutor of the planter's children, while somewhere on the plantation you may visit a little school'also private, in which some dignitary teaches a few poor children three months in the year. Then, we transport you from the quaint, quiet atmosphere of the plantation school across the span of years in order to present another picture of education. You enter the portals of Durham High School to catch a glimpse of our life here crowded with the courses of study, activities, sports and recreations that contribute to a well-rounded public school education today. In this visit we hope we can give you a fuller conception of how magically the spirit of progress has worked in transforming the past century into the realization of the dreams of our forefathers: Every child in our State can be able to make out of himself everything that can be made.
